Man United's Squad: Keep or Sell? Liverpool In CRISIS! & Arsenal SHOCKED By Southampton!

30:00that's a treat isn't it that'd be like scoring against Schmeichel you know when you go proper ledger

30:06Paddy McGuinness:I'm surprised yeah because looking back in the day Juve they were like the powers weren't they the big powerful team in the Champions League when we were starting to come through he was some keeper wasn't he so you're saying R9 David Silva was some player oh my god Vieira as well that surprises me I know obviously it doesn't surprise me because he's known to be at Arsenal for so long yeah that's true but the one that surprised me the ones like Ronaldo and there's Latanzo have been around all the big clubs and you're thinking they've just missed even like you look at Cannavaro just must have missed that little bit of a purple patch of the club that they were at it amazes me and I never realised this like Arsenal have never won a Champions League doesn't amaze me you'd have thought at some point in their history they'd have picked them up I never remember him playing any big he obviously would have done I never remember him playing any big they got beat in the final by Barcelona I remember that I think they got a good chance this year to be fair it's all Campbell scored actually they won in Paris they got a good chance this year so there you go it's decided R9 is the best player never to win the Champions League and don't forget to get yourself over to thatprizeguy.co.uk for the chance to win tickets to either Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon or Liverpool vs PSG.

31:23Liverpool at the minute. That 4-0 against City who obviously City are a great team but 4-0. They're battering on it. I think Van Dijk come out and said they gave up. Can we just talk about that? Van Dijk come out saying we gave up. I think that from your captain

31:42Paddy McGuinness:is it's horrendous. It is horrendous and I love Van Dijk. I think he is like, him and Rio are like, head of, the way they play, obviously you've got Vidic and John Terry and Steve Bruce are them kind of players but the modern day football was centre-backs like a Rio and a Van Dijk. They were phenomenal but you capture your leader, you capture, say what you want in the changing rooms to each other. Go at each other as much as you want, close the doors but to come out and say it on TV, I think if you're in Liverpool a fan you go in what do you mean you give up what the fuck's that about giving up don't you think people get carried away with people like Van Dijk it was brilliant for what three or four seasons maybe the proper players are the ones to do it for 10, 50 years you think you're Rios you're John Terry's you're Villich's Steve Bruce Pallant they did it for years three or four years and everyone gets carried away because you're playing well at that moment I'd have them in my best team ever it's like the thing with Salah they're all talking about I'd have them in my best team it's just because they're there in the present what about all them people who've done it for 10, 15 years like I say they're the proper unbelievable players Van Dijk's been brilliant but he's of a certain age now as well and he probably came to Liverpool a little bit too late really I never thought about it like that with like you said the length of time though so would you have Salah and Van Dijk in one of those all-time Liverpool teams?

33:03I don't know it's difficult for all-time Liverpool I'm talking about all-time Premier League teams oh right okay Van Dijk and alan hansen them type of people aren't they i suppose them them two would probably play on there so i think jamie carrigan said it didn't he that he'd have seller in his team but all of a sudden people think you forget what robbie found with it yeah you're forgetting what steve mcmanerman did yeah unbelievable players john barnes peter bazzer so does he does he get in instead of them it's all a fashion in it when it's happening now yeah they're the best in the world but you know

33:34Paddy McGuinness:i'll talk though in any sport any sport you want to talk about it's just because literally you can't compare like a I don't Hanson to a it's all different era different style of play yeah and we have these chats all the time don't you who's your favourite even Man United who's your all time great Man United player how can you do like a Robson Keane Scholes Carrick and also as well if you're at an age where you're watching your team and you're young and you're like players like Van Dijk and Salah who were there and they've done it over a few seasons that's all you're going to be thinking about because you've not been around all these greats I didn't even mention Daglish before did I?

34:13Yeah Daglish Keegan Kevin Keegan Phenomenal Going back to Liverpool it's a mess isn't it really it's a mess the manager's going to be under huge pressure isn't it clearly but I think I sensed it early well I didn't sense it early because I thought Liverpool were in the league you have to remember at the start of the season they spent how much did they spend ridiculous amounts of money I thought they were going to win it yeah I remember we were saying I thought they were going to win it by a long way so to be where they are it is so below but I think I sensed it early on because when I saw Liverpool when you think about Liverpool you probably think of Jurgen Klopp's team don't you?

34:55and they weren't much different even though it was Arna Slott last year they were at you they were in your face they had dogs who wanted to do the horrible bit of football when you saw them at the start of the season when Virch come in brilliant footballer they became like a team that just pretty on the ball when we've got the ball we'll do everything nice and it'll look lovely and at times it's going to come off but they didn't have anybody who wants to tackle anybody who wants to win the ball back and they were just stopping scoring like Van Dijk not bothered they've lost the edge to them which is why do you think that's more

35:27Paddy McGuinness:like the Dutch way of football because I remember Van Gaal come to Man United it was very it was very much possession yeah it was all slow at the back really slow build up that was never Man United Van Gaal did well at United but that wasn't Man United's way of playing and I think Liverpool if you look at Liverpool at the best at the height of their over the last five, six years it's always been under Manal just go and get at them and it reminded us of me and Man United years ago with the two flying wingers you've got full backs get up and down the midfielders are always reliable and get against people and you've got the unbelievable players that play up front and go and score you the goals they don't want to do that when they go back all them great teams he's talking about the possession team they still have two or three lads who are fucking come on do you know what I mean great footballers but will get around and do the ugly bit of it none of them want to do it do you know what the problem is if you look at Liverpool now so let's say Slott was to leave end of the season I think he probably should do whether he does or not I don't know but you're then going to have to go and replace I don't know Van Dijk and Salah and Robertson aren't what they were but you're still going to have to go and place them I guarantee they'll play Robertson in the Champions League game against PSG they're not going to play the other lad they'll play Robertson I think the other lads started doing alright I don't know if he's good enough I think Robertson will play so then you've got three of the lads there Van Dijk Robertson Salah you've got to go and replace them straight away you've got to get obviously the new manager is going to have to come in I think there's a big transition period in Liverpool over the next few years I really do and you think from the start of the season I thought we'd win by 10 to 10 points and that's all okay transitions happen with football clubs all the time and it will happen all the best football clubs from now to the over 100 years it will happen but the problem we've got with Liverpool they've just got there about a year two years ago they got there they won it they've got their unbelievable team and they've added about 350 million worth of talent into that squad and they're still going to have to have a transition period it just seems absolutely crazy it looks like last summer they neglected what they really needed yeah Gehi I mean that must be they needed one if not two and they needed legs in the middle to not get him signed to that football club for what was it 20 million quid or something like that for years what was the reason why that didn't happen I think Palace pulled it but if they'd have gone back and gone actually it's not 20 we'll give you 30 they might have done it I mean even at 34 people were paying more weren't they it was at the start of the season but let's say it was 30 million quid even if they went and said it's 40 million quid he is phenomenal what he's done at City since he's gone there he's going to be the main man for England in the World Cup at the back he's going to be he's the main man at City now at the back and you're thinking his English player is young what would he be 25, 26 and he seems like a good sensible footballer and you're thinking even if he's cost Liverpool with the money that they're flowing around 60 million it's a bargain it's crazy what would you have done in January if Liverpool and City would have come for you what do you mean who would you have signed for in January I'd have probably signed for Liverpool it's a tough one isn't it yeah but the pep factor with me I was thinking about the pep factor but how long is he going to be there?

38:35Paddy McGuinness:Pep factor. If Pep was to sit down and say I'm staying in the number of three years here I'm staying in City. Yeah. But what's going on with him? If he said I'm there for three I'm there for six months I'd be going to Liverpool. Really? Yeah. Do you know just talking about Slott and Oh low I won't play fucking any of them I've got to be honest. He's thought about that now he's gone. Here we go. He's got a jail-free card out there. When you're saying about Slott might be gone at the end of the season and I may have heard this wrong I think I've seen it on a short on YouTube or something Steven Gerrard we're actually saying on the overlap he wants Slott to do another he doesn't want him to get sacked well what do you want him to say?

39:16well you're always honest you've got to say it as you say it people are talking about Steven Gerrard being the manager well they're on about him coming in with I'm pretty sure in the back of his mind I'm pretty sure in the back of his mind he won it, of course he will almost similar to the way Michael Carrick's doing that job so he's not gonna say what he wants to manage yourself deep down he'll be thinking they go they've

39:38Paddy McGuinness:got a chance yeah of course it's immoral Alonzo and do you think you could work together I don't think Steven said he would but I'd go on knowing him I don't think he'd ever want to be a number two there's just some people you see unless it was with a really old a capello or something coming yeah I don't see it now not once you've managed Rangers you've managed Aston Villa I don't seem And you know Stevie as well Roy did it to be fair When there's a number two match I just never Look, Roy might tell you Something different But Roy's a manager Roy's a number one Yeah I mean I think Stephen's Probably pretty much I can't imagine him Working for Alonso I just can't see it No I can't I could probably see it The other way round But Stephen just looks like A number one to me Going back to Van Dijk saying We give up When Your captain Or a team mate's out Doing the interviews do you have it on in the dressing room no do you have Sky on or out like that no so how do you how would they have heard that he said that well nowadays they're all on the phone in changing rooms aren't they you can't not see it you can't not see it no what I'm saying would the phones be will it be as quick as while he's out there doing it when he comes back they'll be seeing it when they get changed and go out of that changing room they're on the phone and wherever they are their own boxes nowadays or the players lounge or whatever it is they go to or on the way home they'll probably get it then but I just think I just find I don't I said I'm an older guy I played football a long time ago I just don't see why he'd come out and say that Playing devil's advocate do you think because obviously he knows that team he's in there he knows his teammates do you think he's actually said that because he's thought that's the best way to get a reaction out of them I think it's gone past that I think it's gone past trying to get a reaction out of Liverpool the last 15 games this year fucking mad that isn't it obviously it comes from they're letting the manager down really when you say stuff like that imagine if we'd have said that in front of Sir Alec oh my god if you say you give up on a football pitch you wouldn't play I tell you now you wouldn't play again or I tell you what would happen they'd be in this morning and the manager would be saying right you said that you're the captain you point out who's giving up and say if it goes like that he's giving up then he's got to answer if he's giving up or not it would be going off like you wouldn't believe it might have been to the point where some people would get taken out The only thing I can remember with United with that, and again, I can't fully remember what the issue was, but Roy did something similar, didn't he?

42:07He did an interview on MUTV or something. I don't think he said he'd get up, though.

42:12Paddy McGuinness:What he said was, we've got to do better. Was it Fletcher? Did that work, though? I wasn't there. Did it work? I can't remember what actually happened. Well, it didn't work. Roy ended up leaving, didn't it? It didn't work for him. Right. Unless he wanted to leave. I don't know but yeah that I don't think did we actually watch it did he make us watch it I think we watched a bit of it in the manager's office possibly didn't go out publicly though no it didn't go out publicly no what Roy said was probably just what he does now exactly the same we weren't very good we were terrible at Middlesbrough and he just said that really he was saying the truth but obviously the manager didn't quite see eye to eye with him and Carlos as well on the Van Dyke one I just find it strange to say it all you've got to do is go yeah we wasn't good enough we've got to do a lot better all the right usual quotes you say and then go in the changing rooms and shut the door and then just have it I think Kevin Nolan said the other day didn't he when Scorsion on one of his holidays he won he's thrown that in no Kevin said he did something similar in a League Cup game didn't he he said to the manager let me just sort this out and as a player and as a human being you want to be fronted up you've got to have your chance to go back and that's just my character I know it's his character as well you wouldn't want someone I wouldn't want someone saying that about me I drive and come in changing rooms and really go at me and have it out there or the amount of times during the season you have no if someone's not going right you have a team meeting between yourselves and the captain sort of sounds a few home trues I actually remember once when I think it was Steve McLaren Steve was there when he came in one of his first meetings we got beat by someone at Old Trafford who was terrible probably a little bit like Liverpool at the weekend and Steve came in the dressing room he called the meeting Steve bear in mind Steve's been there two weeks or something he's like what the fuck's this he started hammering everyone and he went for remember he said on air I went for Roy on purpose yeah but he did squirt at Roy first yeah the shit house sorry Steve not a shit house but you know what I mean yeah so sometimes just little things like that they get you going again i i just think it's gone past that do you know something as well though football has changed you know there's not them kind of characters no more they're not there players can't handle criticism they can't and it's it's society even kids can't as they're to get kids can't no you're right yeah my lad plays football he's a bit different he's a bit older now when he was younger he got in the car i think he was 15 16 he goes and he must have knew i was pissed off drove about an hour and a half to watch him he was shocking so he sits in he goes like that it's all quiet and he goes I don't think I did today dad now I said that to my dad it have annihilated me for an hour and a half all the way home it had gone you're shit you're embarrassing you're not worked hard enough you need to work out it's got to be all the news we've all been brought with yeah all I said to him was yeah you didn't do too good today mate I thought you could have done a bit better well that was like it was like he couldn't handle it devastated what do you mean right so it is it is there is a different yeah different outlook managers got managers have got a sense and to be first, Sir Alex, he did.

45:23And when we first came in, Jesus Christ, don't go near him. But towards the end, look, he'd still go off on one, don't get me wrong, but he realised what people needed more. So if he's going mad at one of us, it's normally like one of the local lads, one of the English lads. He'd hammer us. He'd hammer us. He'd hammer us. But I remember someone getting bullied, I don't know if it was me or somebody else, I remember seeing Nani and Ronaldo's face. I'd never seen anything like it. Yeah. So that's when you start, you've got to change to yeah so you play one of them got a ball i can do they wouldn't know what

45:56Paddy McGuinness:to do honestly first i think it was one of the first torpedo moscow i think it was and i think it was in c and the minds of going to each other and i was sat not too far away literally a coat can come flying across the room i've gone like that it's exploded on the wall he's throwing cold cans people obviously not to hit him but over the head to get their attention and get people wound up. However, them characters in that dressing room liked that, they needed that. So, what Van Dyke, even though I'm sitting there going, I can't understand why he's done it, he might know, well he does know a lot better than me.

46:29Paddy McGuinness:He might look at that and go, that's how to get something out of him. You are right what you're saying, but I just, it just doesn't sit right with me. To say to, what, 60 ,000 people that go and pay their money to watch that Liverpool to say they give up. For the working class man on the street, I think it's shite. And also as well, I think Liverpool fans are good with the team. You know what I mean? They are there from thick and thin, aren't they? Brilliant fans, yeah. Very much like United fans. It's a bit like, another one I can't understand is Sir Bozla, when he goes over to them and he's like, a lot of them went on the 70th minute.

47:01And again, yeah, exactly, quite rightly. You've paid your money. You're going, even if you lose, I think most football fans, if your team loses, but looks like they've gone for it, you're there for them.

47:13Paddy McGuinness:I can't understand that either. He's got himself into a cult figure with that football club on the last two seasons. Free kicks. It's been brilliant. It's been brilliant. I watched him and I thought, gee, I didn't realise how good he is. He's a phenomenal footballer. Yeah. But that little thing there, everyone makes mistakes. I mentioned the other day I did something at Newcastle, stupid dick. You get away, but to do that, having a pop at people going home 20 minutes early when they're going to stay and watch it get annihilated, then you've got to wait for two hours in traffic to get home. Then they're going to, why would you?

47:43Paddy McGuinness:Do you know what? Just get off the pitch. Just get off the pitch. The players will be sat there in the training rooms getting all the food after a little bollocking. Get the food. They're getting a nice transportation going on. You're not getting on a train or doing something like the fans have to do in traffic after watching, let's be honest, a load of shite and they're getting beat 4-0. It's not acceptable. And to do that and let it go, why are you not staying for us? I think it's fucking really bad. Do you know the weird thing? They could actually go and beat PSG. Oh yeah, I think they could.

48:09Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I'm telling you. If you get one of them special nights at Champions League in Anfield, on that cycle travelling I'm telling you it wouldn't be the biggest now look PSG are unbelievable and I still expect PSG to go through but but it's a little bit weirdly enough on a free kick are you still here are you like

48:28Paddy McGuinness:the good the goal is right I think that's Liverpool we said it a while ago Liverpool are a bit like a city in that sense that they can go and beat anybody on the day yeah on their day I think they would say that usually but they just look that far off it don't they they won't win it over two I can't see not over two games it can happen I just I just can't see they're that far off none of the players want to play nice football like I said and against PSG you've got to stop do you know just again PSG are probably the best team in the world this is why I like doing this with you two because I love just asking them questions from a fans point of view so where he's gone like that to the fans then for him to do that do you think there's something in that team where they've all chatted about fucking fans are a nightmare or whatever Or is it just him on his own going?

49:16Do you know what you'd be doing as a fan? You'd be telling them, fuck off. Yeah. You'd be like, fuck off. And I'd expect that. That's why, look, you have to go and thank your fans for whatever's happened after a game. What score it is, whether you've won, you've lost. You've got to do a little bit, but you keep yourself quiet. You might do that and just fucking fuck off. Because fans are everything, aren't they? That was a time for a lot of clap. I can understand, though, if the fans are going like to him,

49:39Paddy McGuinness:abusing him and he goes like that to him, you know, come on. But to do it because they're going and they're leaving early, and they're getting beat 4-0 with what, 20 minutes left? Yeah. I mean, that's a bit harsh. With the dross they just produced as well. What do you think Slott does after a game like that? Because when I saw his press conference, he, to me, looks like, I know Dutch managers, they're a little bit more laid back. I know Van Gaal weren't really laid back. He knows he's in trouble. Yeah, he kind of had that sort of demeanour a bit like, he wasn't like human. A bit defeatist. Yeah, well, you're going to be after the result of that, but after the season they've had them it looks like the players have given up do you know what I mean Van Dijk said it and once your players give up on your manager and the manager look he can say he knows he's in big trouble now he's not stupid is he look if they go out badly against PSG and it when I was saying could beat you but it could also get really messy against PSG that might be the end of it then why bother keeping until the end of the season you know what I mean it doesn't matter wow you say before the end of the season look at it if it's a bad defeat it could be the end do you know what I think Liverpool have won 400 million last 15 games I was going to say do you know where there is a possibility before the end of the season I think as a scenario is if Everton go no if Everton go above Liverpool now that's that's a problem and there's a chance and Everton by the way great team spirit shows you David Moyes he won't bet against them yeah they play Everton they've got they've got the derby coming up aren't they at Everton I think because the new ground after the first one Liverpool Liverpool got United as well it's going to be live no then there's a question there then if they go above them well I think there'll be a question after the PSG games I think there'll be a big it looks it could get messer PSG like I've said it a few times PSG are probably the best team in the world they can hammer teams now look if they do that to Liverpool it wouldn't surprise you if they sacked him and brought Stephen in until the end of the season I don't think I don't think Stephen Gerrard would do that I do Liverpool he'd do anything for him no yeah I know that and I know he's a legend and everything else no what I'm saying is like going in just for a few games and it doesn't work out I'm just saying I'm just thinking what might happen I don't I'm not saying I don't really care about Liverpool and I don't care I don't want you don't want anybody to get sacked I'm just looking ahead and thinking this PSG game could get a mess and look after what Stephen said the last week or so it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if Stephen was to go in it does cause the club a problem to then not give him the job that's what I'm saying to go into the end of the season that's where United are now yeah that's exactly what United are like exactly and let's be honest even more so with Stephen being the local lad do you know what though Stephen to get the job who's more suited than Stephen Gerrard to do a Liverpool job no one I don't think do you know what I mean no one unless Klopp came back would you that's where I think sorry mate that's where I would think Gerrard would come in as a number two with a Klopp nah no chance I do I think he'd do it as a number two with a Klopp I don't think he'd do it with because of the age difference the age difference the learning journey the problem with Steven as a number two though he's always going to be in the background he's always when this lad gets sacked he's always going to come in I just don't see Steven as a number two now do you know I think Klopp and Gerrard I'd I'd again I'm not a Liverpool fan but I'd sooner have Klopp and Gerrard as opposed to Alonso and Gerrard I think you're right though imagine that fucking hell what it'd do for the the fans the city the team and there's no hiding with them two running the show is there but then I think I'd say Klopp or Gerrard I wouldn't you wouldn't have both no I wouldn't have both do you know something it's a similar scenario with Roy when Roy first left United everyone expected Roy to go back everyone expected I did anyway as a manager one day if Stephen doesn't get it this time round will he ever get it to go and bring a younger player in like Alonso Stephen's got to be thinking it's not happening do you know what it's weird with managers because look at United over the years they've had the best managers come in it's not quite worked you bring Michael Carrick in knows the club did alright at Middlesbrough nothing out of the order at Middlesbrough and look how well he's doing now when you look at Stephen yeah I don't know it was in South, we don't see Saudi football doing well.

54:12I don't know. A good job at Rangers. He did a great job at Rangers, probably Aston Villa probably didn't go as well as he would have thought. I'm not saying you don't need to have a massive history in the game to go and be a manager of your own club. Now look, Michael might not be successful, I don't know. He might not get the job permanent but what he's doing now, it shows that I think he's capable. Just, I know it's always a random question and I'm not putting you both on the spot but again, you are it's working out alright now I'm going to put you on the spot are you still saying he shouldn't have the job permanently no I'm not saying he shouldn't yeah Michael I think he's put himself in a much better position now look the thing you I'm not going to say it's quite easy to win games now because it isn't of course Man United everyone wants to beat Man United but it's easier now to win games from what he's come into after Manu didn't do great he put round pegs round holes and all that kind of stuff the big question would be the first 10-15 games next year when you have to win games you have to put yourself in a position Champions League the league that's when it becomes a proper job look we won't know if Michael's the right choice so people say you need two or three years but I think you'll probably know like next November

55:26Paddy McGuinness:the thing with the Michael scenario is it's all well and good saying to people saying he's not quite ready for the job which I get that side of the argument as well but for me if you're asking me a question it's like well if you don't give it to Michael who are you giving it to? And there's nobody I can think jumping out going that's the man. So that's why I think Michael will get it. Number one he's doing a good job. He knows the football club. Even more importantly I think the people that are above him will like working with Michael he's not going to cause him too much of a headache. He's not going to start being a Mourinho.

55:57Paddy McGuinness:It will be an easier choice. And also their get out if that was to go wrong they're not actually saying we're not taking him I don't know anyone they're actually jumping out speaking to he's on about the Nilesman Nagelsman Tuchel's side Ancelotti again I don't think he would come I really don't think he would come so there's nobody there in my eyes going well you've got to take him it's not like a Mourinho has come available or a Klopp's come available or someone that you know you can go and get sometimes like you say managers just look right yeah and just looking at Michael the way he handles himself not so much the way he dresses but yeah yeah he just looks right doesn't he he looks he's not he's unflappable as well well like I say he's unflappable now because everything's going alright yeah it's a different kettle of fish starting I'm saying let's see next November if they've lost two or three games all of a sudden seventh or eighth in the league maybe lose a Champions League game then that's when the big test will be and look I think Michael can handle it and to be fair as well I know you're going to move on here in a minute and it might tie into this but I think if you are going to give it in you've got to make it public to sort it out now because they've got to start a recruitment process as well because literally they have to do that now because that is allowed it should have been going on from January hopefully it's been going on January February but now if they're going to give it to Michael he's got to have a say in it he might not be able to have the whole say or even a 50 % of it but he's got to have a say in who them players are going to come in Now speaking of what you just said then I thought oh that's led me in nicely that That's what I do for you Thank you Strap yourself in United fans because this is going to get very interesting.

57:41Manchester United, keep ourselves. You're just trying to get us in trouble there, aren't you? Well, no, but this is exactly what he said before about modern football and you've got to be different with people and you can't upset anyone. I love you two because you really do, even though it can cause a problem and whatever, you really do say it as you see it. And I think in this day and age... That fucking jump is rubbish.

58:10he's in a fucking brown waffle fucking tracksuit and don't get me starting on your Claire Rainers because I'll go in yeah don't have to snap back all the time why can I not just why can I not just fucking right anyo right thank you he's gone for waffle I quite like your jumper as well thank you do you know do you know this is lovely this he's coordinated he's coordinated it's golden I don't want to talk about it do you know thinking about the weather changing this podcast is known for it's lovely knitwear you know people watch it they get the knitwear on they get the knitwear on fucking this is look at the look he's come fucking dressed as a monk and he's having a go at me do you look like the pyjamas give you on a plane do you look like the pyjamas give you on a plane don't you you're going on a plane today that's what I'm doing flying I'm flying virgin graphing although having said that the people at Allo are watching is lovely come on

59:16Paddy McGuinness:back to Man United let's not bottle it right okay here we go right so this is keep or sell let's go through some of the names on the iPad here sell sell sell sell let's start with Dallo why are we not starting with layman's I want to just start a little bit more oh yes no right well let's go Lehmann's then alright let's go fucking hell let's go Lehmann's then keep all day long he's been probably one of the best signings the club's done for a long time very calm looks like a real top keeper I can't remember how young he is he looks about a lot older than he is but yeah I think you definitely keep him keep right okay Dallot oh hello

1:00:04Paddy McGuinness:just keep just just I think definitely keep I think he's been there a long time now is he the the top top right back or left that way we're gonna play to get you to the latter stage of the Champions Leagues and winning Premier League maybe not but what he is is a really good I keep it really good squad player really reliable definitely yeah Masra we so I would have said keep starting the season I thought he started off real well but he's just seriously not playing much more than he's been like a right size centre half and they don't play with three centre halves he probably has one of a five or six but I think I've probably time to let him go now are you saying yeah Delewitt you have to keep him he's had a bad injury he's not had a chance to get going what's wrong with him he's disappeared he's back I think is it is it a bad one I don't know but I think he's a top talent we tried to get him for a good few years before that didn't we as a player I'd definitely keep him I think between him and Harry Maguire who you keep I think you just keep one of them now if he was which one then?

1:01:09well if he was fit I'd probably just go for him well I was just going to say Maguire

1:01:19this is I'm enjoying this is his quietest I've seen on both they're shitting bangers they don't know what to say I think he's been really good he's brought himself back from the dead wheel I think he's been sensational I'm so so pleased for him but I'm I'm thinking about a United team who you want to win the league win Champions League and that's where United should be aiming I'm not sure you'd do that with Harry Maguire I think unless you've got someone like a Rio next to him

1:01:46Paddy McGuinness:then possibly I'd keep him definitely I think he's I get him what's going on where he's come back from there he's shown unbelievable character look he is what he is Harry he defends that edge of the box he's great in the air he's great in both boxes in the air he's commanding is he going to play every week for you no is he going to go and win you the Premier League like a young Harry Maguire with someone next to him yeah but it's Man United you've got to be talking about winning the Premier League yeah but I think you need more than just I think you need four of them I think you need four centre backs one of four you'd probably take but I'd have De Ligt in that as well as a one of four do you know what I mean so I think they're both quite similar I think De Ligt is a little bit younger so that's on his side probably a little bit quicker so I'd probably just go for Delict.

1:02:30The age is it? I don't know what's wrong with him. Now, this one, I've been looking forward to this one. Martinez. Do you know what? After publicly, we got a bit of shit in my face. Nicky said he was getting carried like a baby by Harland. No, in all seriousness, when he was playing, I thought he was really good. Yeah. I do. I genuinely think he was really good. Now whether When I'm talking about A one of four You think about Maguire And De Ligt With a Martin I don't think he suits them I think they need Somebody more dominant More quicker More stronger More better Just someone who just Takes the ball off centre-force Get out of my way Yapstam Real Ferdinand He's quite physical though Isn't he though Yeah He's been great The one thing I like about him I think he's a great left foot I think he plays he can play football really good but are you winning the Premier League and the Champions League with him as your centre half again I think every centre half they've got they need a better one next to him do you know what I mean I agree with that so is he staying or is he going I'd probably just keep him right okay keep

1:03:47Paddy McGuinness:yeah I'd keep him I mean again you can't keep everyone you've got to have to get rid of a couple to get ones in but when he's played he's been always one of the you've kept everyone so far oh yeah but one of the top players he has and I had a spat with him it's nothing it's a bit of a lot of crap really when people start getting carried away about a few things you say when he plays he's very good he doesn't play enough he doesn't play enough games and I just said the same thing about the late keeping so it looks like I keep the late because he's not had a chance to stay fit he's had a bad injury on his back he's young it's a big debate when you recruit can you keep plays an outfit I'd like to if we're sat around a recruitment today we're looking at his appearance stats they're not going to be great but when he plays he plays very well and he's a good player he's aggressive he reads the game well he likes goals he's great with the ball at his feet he's got a lovely left foot he's not fit enough One thing you need with centre-halves that they're fit all the time I think for me the ones we've got look Aaron Maguire is probably fit most the other ones are With Maguire the reason why I say Keith Maguire is I think he'd accept not playing every single week.

1:04:57Paddy McGuinness:Yeah, which is one of four. Yeah, I think the late has to stay to try and help him get fit and he's still only young. Martinez, I don't think, would accept not playing if he's fit and he's not fit enough and he's injured too much times. When he plays, he's fantastic, as we've said, and at his age, I'd be letting him go at 28. Right, okay. Dogu. I don't know what he is. He does some great games. He's brought him in as a wing-back, didn't he? He's not really played wing-back And he actually done all right. I'd probably sell. Sell. Yeah. But it's like Nicky says, I'm not sure what position he is.

1:05:32I don't know. Look again, if you keep him, he's just a squad player. Yeah.

1:05:37Paddy McGuinness:He's not your Dennis Irwin or Luke Shaw when he's always fit or Gary Neville. He's not a regular. He's not your regular player at a fullback. He's not. So get somebody who can do that better. If that's the case, you've got to get rid of him. Dogu. Oh, sorry. Yoro. just a young centre back isn't he I'd be putting him out on loan me so you keep him I keep him I'll put him out on loan I've played a lot of money for that I think he's struggled I think there's something in there I think he needs a bit of time but if he had to make a choice now I'd probably sell him right Shaw Luke Shaw for me is one that everyone everyone will go against me I know for it because he's injured all the time when Luke Shaw's fit he's the best left back in Europe for me when he's fit right again he's not always fit best left back in Europe when he's fit and he's at his peak he's up there with the best left backs in Europe pace wise I think he's brilliant I think two or three years ago when he was playing consistently I don't think probably a better left back in the world not just Europe but if you ask him now like he's done alright appearance wise this year funnily enough but I'd sell him he doesn't play enough games I'll be keeping him want a cold and Luke if you're watching yeah I think you're one of the best left backs in the world and I will have that cord for hallowed clothing off you thanks pal Mason Mount look again I'm not sure I'd probably sell him and I like him he's a great footballer but he's never going to play in front of Bruno Fernandes and I'm not sure what other position he can play and he doesn't play enough games does he no right that's the first one I think you've both gone sell straight away.

1:07:21Paddy McGuinness:Only because of the situation. It's not that I don't think he's a good player. I think he's a top, top, top player. I would admit Chelsea when I've seen him, I think when he plays for Man United, he doesn't play enough and he's not going to play in front of Bruno and scores. Do you know, when he signed for United, because like you say about Chelsea, good player, do you think he signed for United going, I'm going to be a squad player here? No. No. Not a 60 million quid was he or something. No. So what happens then? Why does that become a thing? What? Yeah. Is it just because you're just not doing the business?

1:07:53He didn't play better. I don't think he's not done a business. He's not been fair. Right. He never got to run a game to the team. Listen, most of the players

1:07:59Paddy McGuinness:we're talking about here, because it'll be, no, it'll be snips will come out and it'll be our skulls and butts as if selling. Pretty much every single player we've said to sell is because of an injury. Yeah. It's not because they're not good players. When you're injured, and it's not because of one injury, it's over seasons. When you've got that much injury prone, it's really difficult to say keep them they're unbelievable players now I know for a fact if Luke Shaw had done what he's done this season the last two seasons Scores would be saying keep him but he's letting him go because he's injury prone it's not because he doesn't like him as a player and the same with Mason Mason Mount is a phenomenal football player and when he's on game there's not many better than him the only problem he's got is the one that is playing before him is the captain in the football club I'm better than him I'm always fit I was just going to say always fit speaking of which you prompt him in the Fernandes I mean he's just the best player I mean he's the best player the club's had for a couple of years Talk about player of the year in a team that look for the first half it was terrible he could easily be one Keep him back but I think it'll be I think the club will have to sit him down and explain which way the club's going and what the players are targeting and stuff to keep him because he could go any club he wants Right we know he is going Casemiro Yeah I think it's right look he's been brilliant he's turned another one who's turned his fortunes around really he's been very good but United need they need strength in that position yeah Casemar's been since the turn of the year and Michael come in I was the one it's probably much like everybody saying his legs have gone but what he's done the goals he's scored the way he's played there's no coincidence he's got the right people around him in Kobe and Bruno now at the right areas he's played fantastically well but you know he's had an unbelievable career he's been phenomenal won five Champions League I think he's phenomenal that is a position United have to strengthen but he's time to go the probing it you talk about them three-centre midfielders it's all about it was a water and Anderson and the sinners you don't want to Nala you know the probing it to the three on you know what God could take all three okay who got it nothing so go yeah man who just keep Kunya keep Zerxy sell Diallo keep keep Mbumo keep Seshko keep keep the squad player get someone better I like it man it's alright I do but I think you need to go and get someone better well anyhow that was the Easter episode of the good the bad and the football in fact I think we're the only podcast working today grafters we're grafters We show up for the fans.
