0:33I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United news and transfer news on the 10am show every single day. Lots to get into. Are we doing legends? We're talking Edison, Romano update, Tonali, Arsenal, Chumini staying at Real Madrid, Anderson still the priority and concerns around Edison as well from Michael Carrick. We will delve into all of that straight away and get your reactions as well. good morning to you all big day today as well because we've also got our season review show going out live at 4pm UK time from the studio with Ricky and Beth and everybody so don't miss that later but we're here to talk about the latest news this is what well look I suppose this is I think with the Edison story before I read this we're either not in for him we are in for him or we are undecided on him because Fabrizio Romano has said this Man United have to decide internally whether they want to proceed and close the deal with Edison or decide to go for different midfielders.

1:33United are still in the process of discussing internally. Currently, no green light, but it could be at any moment. The deal is advanced with the player and in verbal negotiations with Atalanta, Edison is waiting for United. Last week, United travelled with a delegation to Italy to discuss the transfer and also Atalanta's new manager and sporting director will be in place within the next few days. once that's set, official negotiations for Edison can start still waiting for the green light from Manchester United United want to discuss it internally whether to proceed with Edison or move for another midfielder they are advanced but no deal done yet and then the Manchester Evening News are also saying that reports of a deal for Anderson have been overplayed they're not as advanced as reports in Italy claim so you sort of go, hold on a minute, hold on a minute So, and you know, you can only follow what's out there.

2:29I don't have any information on Edison. You know, as we said last week, Man United from our source is going to make a big signing before the World Cup. Man United might think Edison's a big signing. I don't know. But I don't know anything about this Edison deal. I've always felt it might be very agent led. I mean, I saw a United aggregator in the know, whatever you want to call it, last night saying that Edison has said no to loads of clubs. And this is the second time I've heard this this weekend. Romano said it as well. I mean, I got called some quite abusive names last night. I'm used to it because I put a tweet out before I went to bed saying people keep saying that Edison's turning down a load of clubs.

3:08Can anybody tell us who these clubs are? Because Atletico Madrid pulled out weeks ago. So I do feel that there are the ingredients of bullshit around this Edison deal that are starting to come out now because over the weekend, it felt like we were signing Edison. And I would admit it felt like we were signing Edison. And then this morning, some of the people that have been putting out there were signing Edison and now going, oh, it's not as close as people think. Yeah, you know, I've now got to make a decision whether they want to do it or not. It's not deal done yet. And you sort of like go, well, that's not really the story that's been sold over the weekends.

3:45And look, we've not been pushing this as nearly there, et cetera. That's, in fairness, I would not moan at any United fan for expecting Edison to be a deal done. I mean, I think we said yesterday, could be deal day yesterday. And now we're being told, oh, maybe it's not. I suppose the question is, why is it not getting done? And I think there's three outcomes here. I think either it is very agent-led and United are being used, which I still don't think that is the case. Secondly, we're trying to get the price down because there is nobody else in the race. So we're trying to get the price down with one year left on the contract.

4:25I think that's quite a viable option. Thirdly, we're having second thoughts, which is the worst option. I would rather it's agent-led and we were never in for him, which I don't think is true. I would rather it was we're trying to get the price down, which I think is the best option. I would not like it to be we're having second thoughts because second thoughts are doesn't fill me with confidence about the rest of the window that we would go all the way to basically having the deal done and then go. We don't want to do it. You know, you've got to can't afford to waste time. so if we've gone all the way to the front door with Edison and then we walk away you know I would say why were we doing it in the first place and there's a lot of reasons good reasons why people are saying why are we going for Edison he doesn't tick a lot of the boxes that we've previously said are important to us but to me it looks like we've clearly done a lot of work on this deal and it's there to be done it would be strange to walk away from it because of second thoughts because if you've got second thoughts we never should have if we've got concerns we shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

5:32And it worries me if we've got concerns about what sort of summer transfer window we're going to have. Have we gone for Edison because he's cheap and available and wants to come to us and other deals are harder? And now that we've got to come to do the deal, we've gone, is it too early to be doing this type of deal really? Because then we still might be able to get somebody else. And I'm hoping that's not the case. What I'm hoping is, is that we're actually saying to Atalanta, you want£40 million for a 27-year-old with one year left on his contract who's not a Brazilian international and only plays in Italy, we think it should be 30.

6:08And I'm hoping we're just trying to drive that price down because we've got every right to drive that price down. And maybe that puts a delay in place because once you've got the player wanting to come, then we don't need to worry about anything else. For example, it ain't Real Madrid and PSG who he's turning down, is it? It's probably Juventus and Valencia or something like that. It won't be big clubs. So look, we'll have to wait and see with Edison. As with everything with Man United, we're not quick. This could take weeks. You know, Edison to Manchester United wasn't even a thing a week ago.

6:43So we're only in week one. I mean, you know as well as I do, six is the average. So we could have another four or five weeks of this. We could have another four or five weeks of this. So let's wait and see. But I hope it's not second thoughts. I hope it's about driving the price down because I think that, as I said last night, if we get Edison and we get Fernandes, we don't get Belaber. We also don't get Scott. We don't get Garner. We don't get Tyler Adams. We don't get Ampadu. We don't get Stiller. but in a way I don't mind settling on midfielder two and three quite early as long as we get that number one signing and in fairness it also said in the Manchester Evening News today and I think Romano has said it as well United regardless of what happens with Edison are still looking for a marquee signing to replace Casemiro now it mentions Chumini and it mentions Elliot Anderson and this is where we're going to go next.

7:45We're also going to be talking about this Tonati story and also a little bit more about a striker at United and a couple of more comments from Brune Fernandes. But this is in the Manchester Evening News. Edison's potential arrival at Old Trafford is not expected to alter United's plans to sign a marquee midfielder to replace Casemiro. United Chiefs have earmarked significant investment to sign Casemiro's successor. Elliot Anderson remains at the top of United's midfield shortlist, but United are set to face stiff competition from Manchester City. Chouamini is seen as a dream midfield signing at Old Trafford, but Madrid are expected to keep him for Jose Mourinho's first season at the Bernabeu.

8:27I mean, look, there are positives laced with negatives, as always seems to be the case with United, because, you know, we do want and need to bring in players that are of a quality where you go, they could replace Casemiro. Of course we do. However, who is it going to be? Because if we don't get Anderson because he goes to Man City and a lot of people think that's going to happen and we don't get Cermini because he's going to stay at Real Madrid, there isn't anybody else. or there's one person else who we'll talk about in a bit because there's an update about Arsenal and that's Tonali. But United seem to be pushing the Tonali story away.

9:11So if we don't get Anderson and we don't get Chiamini, what are we doing? So yeah, there's significant money to replace Casamiro, but there's a massive hole there if you don't get either of those two players. So I think we just come back to the same old story again, don't we? Elliot Anderson, Elliot Anderson, Elliot Anderson, Elliot Anderson's the priority. But all we keep being told is that Man City are more likely to sign him. So look, as we've said, Edison, Fernandes from West Ham, decent signings. But that third signing, that marquee signing, that Casemiro replacement signing has got to be awe-inspiringly exciting.

9:52and if you've got Edison and you've got Fernandes and that third signing is Alex Scott or Carlos Belaba or Tyler Adams, I think we're in trouble. I think we're really in trouble. So I think that United, it's good that the stories are still out there that we want a marquee signing and there's big money there for it, but I'm a bit concerned who that marquee signing is if Real Madrid keep Ciumini and Anderson signs for Man City. Who is the marquee signing then? Because answers on a postcard. I don't know who it is. If it's not Tonali, I don't know who it is. Yeah. Anthony says that Romano gave two reasons for Edison, something going on at Atalanta.

10:37Well, if you could tell us what those reasons are, that would be great. Daniel Thompson says, Hi, Mark. Thank you very much for your super chat, Daniel. Weird situation with Edison. If United really wanted him, they would have already done a deal to do something is holding them back. If any doubt, move on. Can't waste time. Focus on top quality targets. Yeah, if you're just tuning in a little bit late, which I know some of you do, on Add Edison, it's not as advanced as has been reported over the last few days. United, no green light yet. Deal can be done. But for whatever reason, according to Romano, Manchester Reading News this morning, it's not as advanced as some people are reporting in Italy.

11:13We have a bit of a three theory. One, it's second thoughts. Two, it's been overhyped. by his agent or three we're trying to negotiate the price down I think it's probably three and what I would say Daniel in defense is you know if Atalanta are very difficult to deal with we gave them a lot of money for Hoyland we gave them a lot of money for Ahmad they are notoriously very good at getting very high prices and we're very bad at getting good deals so if we're trying to get the price down with Atalanta. We could be in for a long wait. We could be in for a long wait. Ken Shambles says, why did Atletico pull out?

11:52Well, Atletico Madrid nearly signed Edison in the January transfer market and we were nowhere near the deal. I said this a few days ago. If we really wanted Edison, why did we not try and do the deal in January when he was that close to signing to Atletico Madrid? Atletico pulled out because of the price. They felt that for a player with one year left on his contract, he wasn't worth 40 million. so they've gone for Jao Gomez, who is younger and cheaper. So that's why Atletico Madrid have pulled out. We should be okay with Fernandes and Edison, says Tilak. What, just Fernandes and Edison? No, no way, mate.

12:33Raymond says, for the life of me, I don't know why we aren't going in for James Garner. He can play right back in midfield, kills two birds with one stone. I spoke to somebody about James Garner about a month ago, and very similar conversation. I mean, Garner's a little bit unlucky not to be going to the World Cup. I think James Garner, Adam Wharton and Alex Scott have been absolutely mugged off by Tuchel's obsession with Brentford's bench player, Jordan Henderson, who was shit for England four years ago and is still going to a World Cup. So he's very unlucky not to be going to a World Cup. I suspect the reason United won't go back for Garner is the embarrassment.

13:13Because we let him go for so cheap, to buy him back would probably be about four times what we paid for him. So I don't think they want to do that because it's embarrassing. But other than that, I don't really know. I think he's a good player. We're with a five out of ten, but there's loads of seven out of tens around and a few ten out of tens. We're looking at fives and sevens, but the ten seems out of reach. The five is easiest, says Grimm. That's like a night out in the 90s. Adam Long says the signing of Edison and Belaber are easy deals that are intended to make us think Wilcox is competent.

13:46The evidence says otherwise, says Adam Long. Yeah, look, we've been talking about this for weeks. Edison's not going to the World Cup. Belaber's not going to the World Cup. Tonali's not going to the World Cup. Fernandes isn't going to the World Cup. And none of those players have a big list of clubs after them. Belaber's not wanted by a top club. Edison's not wanted by a top club. Fernandes probably could have a bit of competition to be fair and so could Tonali but all four of them are not actually going to the World Cup so United have got no excuses not to be moving quickly at all I mean I was doing a video with Robbie from AFTV this morning talking about Arsenal's transfer window and he was saying well we've got a Champions League final on Saturday then everyone's heading off to the World Cup then the World Cup doesn't really finish until the end of July so he's like I don't know how we're going to do deals but for us our season's over, we've got two weeks before the World Cup starts we've got a load of players that we're looking at that aren't going to the World Cup so you know we can I personally think United are looking at players who aren't going to the World Cup on purpose as well yeah Is there still a 50 % chance to get Anderson with Pep leaving and Rodri possible transfer to Madrid?

14:57Anderson is homegrown and 115 million seems like a right for a world-class midfielder these days says Michael you're taught Michael you are talking to me uh in a one-on-one with thousands of people watching but you know so I'm fully aware of what this statement could do if it doesn't go the way it should I've always said since November in Bryant Park in New York I was reading my messages from Beth talking about her show with Ben Jacobs about Ellie Anderson and I turned to the person on my left who I'd never met before and probably didn't like football. And I went, I'm telling you now, Elliot Anderson to Man United could happen this summer.

15:34And they went, I'm just in a queue for some choritos or whatever you call it. You know, them long bits of puddings. What are they called? Churros. Yeah, not choritos. And I went, well, I'm telling you now, just remember that. And it's true. I've always felt, I wouldn't give you a percentage. I wouldn't say, oh, it's a, you know, 70 % chance. I don't even know what the percentage it is with Anderson. I just feel that...

16:31Download the Moto Casino app today. I can see him signing for Man United. And until he's holding up a man's... And I'm not like that. I know some of you go, until they're holding up a shirt, I don't care. I'm not watching the channel until they're holding up a shirt. And I'm like, yeah, shut up. There's terms agreed. There's deal done. There's here we go. There's all sorts before they hold the shirt up. But I do just feel with Elliot Anderson, United have made... And also, United have absolutely rinsed it. I mean, if I was Elliot Anderson, I'd want commission from Man United for the amount of times we've been linked to him.

17:06So I just feel that there's something with Anderson. But I have to say, Michael, most people don't think that. But look, until he's holding up in a Man City shirt, I still think we've got a chance. I really do. Keno is embarrassing himself with the Bruno spats as United 7-7. Look, if we've got time, I'll talk about the Keane and Bruno stuff at the end. But to be honest with you, I think the people talking about the Keane and Bruno stuff can jog on, really. The season's finished. Bruno's off to the World Cup. Roy Keane's off to the World Cup. We've got a transfer window to build. And I really don't care about the Roy Keane and the Bruno thing.

17:40I love Bruno. I love Roy Keane. But I love Sir Alex and I love Roy Keane. And they don't like each other either. So for me, I just don't... I think there's bigger things to talk about, especially around transfers. The Glazer mouthpiece Stephen Rairston Trying to spin the fan base again Chumini is a dream Lewis Hall costs too much Tonali is unrealistic All bullshits As mean mustard Mean mustard I nearly called you mean Buh Without the way Look Some journalists Are client journalists And we must Remember that A client journalist Is somebody who doesn't Do journalistic work They just take stuff From the club And put it out there And I think there's a few Who do that And I've called them out before and I'll call them out again.

18:25But ultimately, that's modern journalism around Manchester United. They feed stuff out and it goes out into the fans. I think you're right. I don't know whether Stephen Railston at the Manchester Evening News is particularly a glazer mouthpiece. Some people say it about Ben Jacobs. Some people say it about Romano. Some people say it about The Athletic. There's not a lot of independent journalism going on anymore. But I think that you're not being a mouthpiece when the club are basically saying we're not going for Tonali. If they're not going for Tonali, they're not going for Tonali. If Chiumini's a dream, we should shut up and wake up.

19:00I don't like hearing for the fourth time in a week that Chiumini is a dream. Because you know what? That's like being down the pub with John and him going, you know, my dream is Taylor Swift. Well, mate, your dream's a pot noodle. Like, you ain't getting Taylor Swift. Shut up about Taylor Swift. Every bloody time we have a drink, it's Taylor Swift. I don't want to listen to your dreams. I want to live in reality. And I don't want to listen to United putting stuff out there about Chiamini being a dream. Because I'll tell you what, my dream is maybe getting Declan Rice from Arsenal. You know, that's my dream for the midfield.

19:37It's not going to happen, is it? So I don't want to hear about dreams. I want to hear about realities. The reality is we needed a midfielder last summer and we didn't do it. The reality is we knew Casemiro was going a year ago. We've had a year to plan for this midfield summer. I don't want to hear about dreams If I want to hear about dreams I'll listen to the Cranberries, right? I don't want to hear about dreams Or listen to Gabriel Not the Arsenal centre-back So I don't I don't want to hear about it Because it makes No It's almost like It's almost like When you put it out there that Chouamini's a dream We're all meant to go, oh fair play Wilcox I know what you mean I know what you mean.

20:20Let's all do our dream midfield signing for Man United. Hold on a minute. You're not doing your dream midfield signing. You are the director of football. You're not getting involved in the dream chat. You know, it's almost like he's going to turn up at the local pub in the beer garden and sit around the table. Who's everybody's dream midfielder? The drinks are on me. Get back to work. Put your bloody carling down and get back to work, your dream midfield signing. Get back in your office and do the real midfield, not the bloody dream. So I am getting a little bit tired of hearing about Chiamini being a dream signing.

20:51I've heard Romano say, Chiamini is Man United's dream signing, but it's very unlikely because he doesn't want to come. Oh, another Frankie de Jong. Oh, I'd love a summer of that. Let's print the t-shirts, pick a card. I don't want to hear about dreams. What does a dream do? Oh, Chiamini's a dream for Man United. Oh, let's all have a dream. My dream is that we win the Champions League and Bruno gets 100 assists. Real talk, right? if he's a dream shut up stop writing about it if it's a dream start talking to me about realities you know pull out let Anderson Edison push deal for a cheap pivot to Hackney for third midfielder Carrick lights him already and he'll be cheap Middlesbrough didn't go up says JSD Garner also signed a new contract with Everton says Patrick Lynch and Charlie says something I feel people have missed is that Ben said both City and United are waiting for Anderson buy-in before going to Forest could put the price down says Charlie we should be OK, thank you very much for that as well.

21:46Well, my fear is it will be Belaber, Edison and Fernandes. That's a nightmare. That's a nightmare. Is your dream Taylor Swift, Mark? No, absolutely not. Musically, I quite liked the last song. I can't remember what it was called, Ophelia or something. But no, no, no, not for me. My fear, it will be Belaber, Edison and Fernandes. yeah I mean that's that that's you never can tell with Manchester United Dale um how badly things could go but um that would not be a good midfield you know Belaba Edison and Fernandes would be you know pretty shit if I'm being honest uh because there's no Casemiro replacement there is there um and and that would be good um bye michael see you later i don't know why i don't know why people um why people appear on this channel just to be abusive um let me talk to you about tonali someone in the chat just said what's the tonali update so we've got nearly 10 ,000 watching thank you for everybody for tuning in marlo is in the chat before i give you the uh update on Tonali.

23:02So, Marlowe says, it will save us a lot of grief, this transfer window, if we realise that no top target will want to play pragmatic football under Carrick. We're forced to settle for less, says Marlowe. I don't, you know what, Marlowe, I've got to say, I've never agreed with this and it doesn't mean I'm right, but I've heard it for years that no top player will want to come and play for Oli. No top player will want to play under the glazes. No top manager will want to come and be, you know, So we're Manchester United. We're always going to have that pull. I don't think Tonali or Anderson or Chouamini look at Man United and go, I don't want to play with less than 50 % possession, playing counterattacking football with Carrick.

23:43I don't think they look at that. I really don't. I might be wrong, but I don't. I think they'd still come. On Tonali, somebody in the chat just said, use, use, Y-O-U-S, use are not getting Tonali. Use are not getting Tonali. It's you are not getting Tonali. Stop changing the English language with modern talk. Regan's just realised he's a member You probably got it gifted mate Right look let me talk to you about Tonali then so Tonali there was a Story last night that was nothing to do With us and it came in From Newcastle Chronicles Newcastle Writer Lee Ryder he said Less than 24 hours after the final whistle At Fulham and reports Of talks between Arsenal and Sandro Tonali representatives This has been played down by sources at Arsenal and Newcastle, but Newcastle are braced for a summer of rumours and gossip.

24:44No talk so far, but Newcastle would only sell any player on Newcastle terms. Arsenal's priority is also not a midfielder, I'm told. So there was some talk about this Tenale-Arsenal January story coming right back to the forefront again, but it has been played down by Newcastle sources that Newcastle's priority, sorry, Arsenal's priority is not a midfielder and that there hasn't been talks advanced yet with those um i i look the absence of talks between manchester united and newcastle full stop suggest we're not signing a player from newcastle at the moment like we knew a month ago that we needed a midfielder we knew two months ago we need a midfielder we knew three months ago we need a left back you know we've known what we've known for months and Newcastle have known that they're not going to be in the Champions League for weeks and we've known that we're going to be in the Champions League for weeks we've also known that we're going to give Carrick the job for months I think but weeks if you want so Newcastle have been in this vulnerable position for a long time and United have been in this strong position for a long time and we've made no inroads to Newcastle at all they've got a left back called Lewis Hall they've got midfielders called Bruno Gamerez and Sonali.

26:06They've got a left winger called Anthony Gordon. There are multiple players at Newcastle that we could have had some sort of talks about, and we haven't. We've not opened any doors with Newcastle at all. Now, I don't know whether that's because we've slammed those doors shut in how we dealt with them with Dan Ashworth. We may never be able to do a deal with Newcastle again. But I love to think that... Sorry, Sorry, but with increased viewership, we also get increased knobheads. So I'm just doing a little bit of cleaning in the live chat here. Sorry, people, you have to put up with it, I know. But yeah, I think with Newcastle, it's not looking like we're going to do anything.

26:43And I think with Tonali specifically, that is a player that I think many of us would like to see at Manchester United. I personally think he would be perfect as a replacement for Casemiro. but United just seemed to be very reluctant to entertain that I think we had a week in the March international break where for whatever reason the Tonali story got legs but United seemed to want to cut the legs off that story very very quickly back in March and they've never allowed them to grow again we've had leaks about United's concerns around the gambling we've had leaks around the concerns around 90 million pounds wages i think united normally are quite happy for a d for a transfer to be there even if they're not going to do it but with the tonali deal you know you tell me if i'm wrong it feels like united have been very determined over the last um few weeks to kill that story um so it doesn't feel like anything's happening with tonali at the moment.

27:46Which leaves us with what I said a few minutes ago, the Casemiro replacement, you can really break it down like this. Tonali, we're not doing anything. Chumini is seen as a dream and not a reality. And Anderson is our priority, but could be heading to City. So if we're not getting Tonali, we're not getting Chumini and we're not getting Anderson, what are we going to do it? What are we going to do? Marlo says, can you please name a top target that has signed for United in the last 10 years where there was any real competition for their signature. Well, it's funny, Marlo, because you know when you listen to that interview with Bruno Fernandes, he actually says in there, and I've got the quote here, and I remember this.

28:27I remember being on holiday in Mallorca. I was on a balcony. I think I did fall over on that balcony, actually. I vaguely remember falling over. But I had a balcony behind me and there was boats in the sea, funnily enough, that's where they live. and one of them, it was a very stormy day and one of the boats was sort of sinking and I was like, and that's it, that's it. I was obsessed with Bruno Fernandes the summer before we signed him and United just, it's a bit like Edison now. You know, Edison's so close to signing to Atletico Madrid in January and now in the summer he's apparently, oh, and you know, he could easily have signed for Atletico Madrid.

29:05The same thing happened with Bruno. We didn't do the deal in the summer and we ended up signing him in the January. Now, in that summer, there were rumours that he nearly signed for Spurs. And if he'd signed for Spurs, we wouldn't have signed him in January. This is what Bruno Fernandes had to say. I spoke with Tottenham years ago and we were very close to getting an agreement done. Then in the last two days, Sporting said we're not going to sell him and the deal collapsed. So Bruno Fernandes was that close, so that close to signing for Spurs. and we were nowhere to be seen. So going back to what Marlowe said there, name a top target that we haven't signed.

29:49We got linked with Bruno all summer and we didn't do the deal. That was fuming. Thankfully, we went back and did it in January because McTominay and Pogba got injured and people forget that. We only bought Bruno in the January because McTominay and Pogba got injured. We stumbled on Bruno and look at what he's become. But he nearly signed for Spurs. So I think with signing top players where there's competition, we've never had a good record of that. Even as recently as December, Semenyu, we wanted him publicly. He goes to Man City. Gakpo went to Liverpool. Who else has there been in the last few years?

30:41feels like there's been quite a lot. Arshan says, it feels like this board is trying to dictate to us on Anderson going to City. We can't do anything. Chumini's unlikely. Tonali too expensive. So they're going to go for Belaber instead and give them a low wage, says Arshan. It could be a tactic, Arshan. We'll have to wait and see. They might try and manipulate you into, oh, Anderson's gone to City, Real Madrid. Chumini was a pipe dream. Tonali's too expensive. So we had to sign Belaber. They might do that. they might do that I mean look watch this space we'll have to wait and see that might be the plan I don't know I suspect Scott becomes more of a priority if we miss out on Anderson as I feel Wilcox and co will want one of the midfielders to be homegrown says James I would take Alex Scott over Belaber I would take Alex Scott over Fernandez I would take Alex Scott over Edison I think Alex Scott is a very very good signing um but it's gone very very quiet with him at the moment.

31:40Marlow also says we couldn't even get DeLapp. Well, we did. We wanted that. God, I can't remember. What is DOAC, Martin? Diary of a CEO with Bruno was a good interview. I think that's what it's called, isn't it? Yeah. It is a good interview. Yes. Slow Sports News. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for your super chat. Says, if it's unlikely to happen, then why is everyone talking about it? Dreams can be made, but you've got to build it first to become realistic. All this spin about who we might like to buy is mundane to slow sports news. Look, I think if you put it out there through Fabrizio Romano that Chiumini is the dream, Chiumini will hear it.

32:23You don't have to put it out publicly though, because you can just tell his agent. So I don't think, somebody said in the chat, maybe they're putting it out there so that Chiumini knows. Yeah, there is something called email and Transfer Market tells you who his agent is. and there's probably people in the United squad who can tell him. So we don't need to put it out publicly to tell him, but I suppose if you put it out there publicly, it makes your fan base feel better. So look, ultimately with Chiamini, it's a dream to sign him. He replaced Casemiro at Real Madrid, so he could replace Casemiro at Man United.

32:57But we are sort of there like Oliver, you know, asking for more because we're sort of like saying, if you don't get to stay at Real Madrid, which is what you want to do, we want you it's not quite Di Maria but it's a little bit Varane and Casemiro you know if you don't want to stay at Real Madrid because they don't want you anymore we will take you and I ain't got a problem with that we're not Real Madrid we're not PSG we're not even Arsenal so we can't beggars can't be choosers we do need players of that quality in our football club but he wants to stay at Real Madrid so it's only if Real Madrid don't want him that that becomes a reality um carping australia what a name says i love the show please can give a shout out to my mate matt benson from melbourne who's recovering from a serious operation in hospital he will be watching matt benson in melbourne hope you're recovering well thank you very much for watching uh all our thoughts and uh not prayers it doesn't sound like it's that bad but uh on recovery get well soon matt thank you very much uh carping in australia as well for the super chat uh silence says, Belaba needs to go somewhere else to get his form back, not Man United, where he's expected to play at the Champions League level.

34:04He's not there yet. Yeah, I mean, look, I'll steal a phrase from somebody yesterday. I think in relation to Belaba, it's the biggest game in your club's history. You've got an opportunity to get in the Champions League or the Europa League and you're on the bench for James Milner. People want to sign a player like that, you go for it, but don't tell me there's not a risk. Why did we go for Edison instead of Jaume Gomez, says JDC. I don't know. I mean, you know, catch me out. I don't know.

34:37Ten hours on my feet. Traffic, noise. Everybody needs something from me. My head is spinning. I just need the world to stop for one second. But then I get home, shoes off, phone out, and I open Modo Casino. Hundreds of slots. Classic table games. It's my instant reset. The variety I want in the quiet I need. Modo Casino.

35:10I don't know. I don't know why we went for Joe. I don't know why we didn't go for Giao Gomez over Edison. But look, it's like Thomas Tuchel going for John Stones over Harry Maguire. I get that people will have different ideas. Is there a massive amount of difference between Edison and Gio Gomez. Maybe not. Maybe there isn't. You know, Atletico Madrid probably wanted Edison, but at the price, they felt Gio Gomez was a better option. So Atletico Madrid clearly thought Edison was better than Gio Gomez, but on price, they felt Gio Gomez was better. So if no players want to go to Newcastle like the last window, what hope have we got to buy from them?

35:52This is slow sports news. Junkyard James says we need to relax. take our time and laugh at ganacho i mean look yeah i mean look but we need to focus on our own lane of course but uh um what do we get with alex scott compared to the tier one midfielders tonali anderson's as frodian look i don't think um nedger wants mark belaber um he's a quality talent can you tell us what he does well that would be great um i think with um alex scott's it would be a huge, huge risk compared to Anderson and Tonali because they are A-star players that big, big clubs want. I think with Scott, it's a little bit more potential, but you say it's potential.

36:41He's not 20. I think he's 23. He's knocking on the door of the England squad. He's had an amazing season for Bournemouth, and I think he has an aura and a composure that I think he could deal with it. I think there's a reason that people like Arsenal are looking at him. I mean, look, Lee Dixon says, I think Scott's better than Anderson and half the price. Look at the league table. I mean, I tell you what, that's a hot take, Lee. It's a hot day and that's a hot take. I actually agree with you. I don't think there's a world of difference between Alex Scott and Maynou and Alex Scott and Anderson.

37:15I don't. I've seen a lot of him since Christmas. And I don't think there is. I remember him playing against us at the end of March. I thought he was one of the best players on the pitch. Didn't Le Mans make a worldie save for him as well so he can get forward? I watched him play against Man City the other night, Arsenal. I don't think there is a world of difference between Alex Scott and Anderson. And I definitely don't think there's a world of difference between Alex Scott and Maynou. So why he's not a high priority for Man United, I don't know. I think Scott is like the player version of Iriola.

37:49I think that somebody's going to get an excellent signing there and everyone's going to go, why didn't we do it? Why didn't we do it? I think Iriola has the potential to be one of the world's best managers. I think Alex Scott has got the potential to be England's best midfielder. So there is a risk, though, because I think Anderson and Tonali, if we sign either of them, the fan base will go, woo! Whereas if you sign Alex Scott, they'll go, ooh, I don't know. Good player, but it's a bit of a risk. so sometimes you've got to go for the player that's going to get the fan base excited is alex scott against the world cup he's in the he's not in the squad but he's out he is out there as you know the standby he's gone out as one of the five standby players with that ru uh rio if new um if no new players want to go to newcastle last window what have we got i think i've done that from uh slow sports news as well thank you very much um i just i i thought this was repetition if it is repetition apologies but it actually was tweeted out three hours ago uh rio fairyland's at it again um basically talking about levandowski again um i don't know whether he's like trying to get an interview with levandowski or he's already got an interview with levandowski coming up i suspect with rio it really is that simple um i think he may well have gone for uh he may well I'd be doing an interview with Rio or he's got one coming up but he said again Lewandowski is not a bad shout sorry what for it 히 Either you don't see me avereもの Adiamo

39:48apologies half term in the UK and I didn't realise they'd gone out to Drayton Manor Lewin so look Ferdinand's at it again Lewandowski is not a bad shout if we brought him in the experience that he has the amount of learning that Sesko would get the learning he could do with Lewandowski who is a wonderful humble human being would I think teach show and try to coordinate Sesko and get him in the right way I think he'd be a sensible signing as well obviously the numbers would be crazy wages wise but I think you're trying to benefit the squad I think it could be a great presence. You know when people answer their own question?

40:24He's 39. And Rio Ferdinand is there saying the wages would be crazy, but I think it'd be a great presence. And you sort of like go, this is somebody that harps on like he knows what he's on about. And then he comes out with absolute shit like that. Like he's 39, Rio. And you're there saying, I know the wages would be crazy, but I think he'd be a great presence. Oh, that's OK then. Come and earn 400 grand a week at Man United and sit on the bench as a mentor to Sesko. I mean, can't we get him on like a one-to-one Zoom call once a week? It'd be a lot fucking cheaper. I mean, I just... And I suppose this is the thing, the ex-player conversation.

41:07They may well be legends on the pitch and they should never lose that status. But the opinions as retired players sometimes are absolutely stunning. But you know what? In fairness and in their defence, whether it's people like Rio or others, I always say this. Paul Gascoigne is one of the best players I've ever seen in my life. Paul Gascoigne was an amazing talent, right? Look at him retired. Look at him as a player. You wouldn't trust him with a bag of shopping, let alone what Man United should do or Newcastle or England. So I just think like, you know what? You can be a legend because of what you did on the pitch and that's absolutely fine and that shouldn't really change.

41:53But we shouldn't hang on to their opinions. You know, we really shouldn't. A lot of people say maybe we could get Lewandowski to do a cameo each week. I mean, a Lewandowski cameo is probably under 10 grand, right? And we could just do it once a week for 10 grand a week and say, can you give us tip of the week for Sesco? Five minutes, yeah? He's not 39. You know what? I love it. I love all this. Someone in the chat, exclamation marks and capital letters. He's not 39. Yeah, OK. You know, if you're going to come at me with capital letters and exclamation marks, he better be in his mid-20s. I mean, he's 38 then in August.

42:39Ooh, I've got it wrong by one year. Oh, if he's only 38 in August, why don't we do the deal then? We could get a good decade out of him. Ooh, tell you what, let's have Lewandowski at 38, who is clearly on the wind down if you've seen Barcelona this year and you've seen what Barcelona fans have said. let's bring Lewandowski to the Premier League when he's never played here before at 38 this sounds great and let's give him 400 grand a week as well this sounds absolutely brilliant because even if we don't use him he can just sit there and have a chat with Sesko a couple of times a week and give him some tips I remember this a bit like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses during the war when I was at Dortmund when I was at Lewandowski sorry, when I was at Bayern I just think it's absolute nonsense.

43:28And for every good opinion you might get from an ex-player, there'll be a stupid opinion like that that completely ruins it. Where's my phone? I'm hearing it's guitar. I know I'm at the phone. It's such important news. It's such important news that I'm actually filming myself in a train station. I'm hearing it's guitar. Yeah. Subscribe, like the video, smash a comment. I'm hearing it's guitar and it's so important. I'm hearing it's guitar. I'm in a train station. I'm doing it on the hop. I'm literally about to get on a train. Yeah, I'm hearing it's guitar. And you just think, I can't take it seriously because for every good opinion, there's a shit one.

44:13We can't be signing Lewandowski. I think it's an interesting conversation as to who we do sign because I think we do need to bring a striker in. I do not like Mbermo as the backup striker. And I know Carrick has done it a lot and I know some of you like it and maybe he's doing it out of lack of options. I don't like Mbermo as a striker. So we do need to bring somebody in, but that's going to be very difficult. I'd like to know what your thoughts are on that, because people say we need a backup striker, but it all costs money. You know, you could bring Lewandowski in at 38 and give him 400 grand a week.

44:49and he would want that, by the way, because he could go to Qatar and earn, you know, could go to Saudi, MLS. Remember, he could earn a lot of money. So you're not getting Lewandowski cheap. I actually saw somebody comment saying, if it's 100 grand a week, I'd do it. I just, yeah, whatever. As if he's going to come to United for 100 grand a week. Danny Welbeck is very old and he's just signed a new contract at Brighton. Ivan Toney could come back, but again, would want huge wages, minimum 200 grand a week for somebody who's going to be a backup striker, that's too much. I think within the parameters, I think you've got to set parameters, right?

45:24The backup striker needs to be somebody that will challenge Sesco, but not ruin Sesco. They need to be on 100 to 125 grand a week. They need to be between 26 and 30, and they need to be as cheap as chips. So find me somebody like that somebody who's between 26 and 30 who can come in play champions league football and compete with sesco but be on a 125 grand a week or less i don't know people say vlahovic i think he's a problem i think vlahovic is a problem i think he's a cheap free transfer that people go oh he looks good like do your homework on vlahovic listen to your ventus fans on vlahovic like i don't think he's the solution at all and i don't think he comes into united and sits there happily on the bench for 125 grand a week.

46:16Mateta, again, I think you might have to pay... Actually, I think he's only got a year left. Mateta's interesting. Mateta's interesting. Jared Bowen's not a striker. Ramos at PSG. I mean, I'd love Harry Kane, Robert McCormack, but he is neither under 30, under 125 grand a week or cheap. And also, sesco may as well get sold if you get harry kane because we ain't picking sesco um dembele sat on the bench for mbappe at psg if belaba suits how karik wants to play then it's good says keel robinson uh don't know what that means uh these owners simply doesn't love our club watching us now not attracting big names after we were the dream of every player and doing nothing is insane says golden boy waza levandowski in the premier league would be cool to see maybe seven years ago not now so silent uh we want enrique but karik is cheap oh we want chermini but belaba is cheap Ooh, we want to win the title, but top four is Cheeks, Isavis.

47:16I love that. I do love that. I do love that. Very, very, very, very true. What about Brodby at Sunderland? Yeah, yeah, look, I didn't say there's nobody out there. I just said you've got to probably work to the parameters that I do actually think. I actually do think there are parameters to the striker. As I said, I think they've got to be between 26 and 30 to have the experience. I think they've got to be on a reasonable wage because you don't want them to be very expensive. I think it could be a reasonable transfer fee. And I think they've got to be comfortable to play for Man United and the Champions League, but not too demanding that they're benching Sesco.

47:53So I don't know. Like Gene says, Ivan Toney, if he doesn't want silly wages. Look, if you're Ivan Toney and you're not bothered about the money because you've earned it all in Saudi, then you want to just come back and play Champions League football for Man United. He's only just turned 30. He's only just turned 30 He's got a contract that runs until 2028 As we know With The Saudi league They're not that opposed to letting players go

48:35Represented by the same agency as Elliot Anderson And Kabi Meini I don't know look we might not buy a striker we might say we want to use Kunya there or Morgan I think if we sign Morgan Rodgers we won't sign a striker by the way if we sign Morgan Rodgers I don't think we buy a striker because I think we'll go Kunya can play as a striker and Bermot can play as a striker Morgan Rodgers can play as a striker so I don't think we'll sign a striker if we sign Morgan Rodgers and Morgan Rodgers is a very very big possibility post World Cup thank you everybody for watching we have our 4 o 'clock show today which is the season review show it's in the studio, Ricky and Co with Beth, Mauds I think Kev might be in as well season review show, it's going to be very good just getting there and getting on Ricky on Bruno being the best player since sliced bread I'm back with you at 8 o 'clock tonight in the normal slot and we'll see what today brings, I think it'll be a busy day today There might even be a two o 'clock show as well, because I think there will be updates coming in because we've just had the Premier League weekend finale.

49:44Yesterday was a bank holiday in the UK, so everyone's back to work today. So I think we'll get an influx of news drops coming in through the day as well. Take care, everybody. RRIP says Rodgers would be a dream signing. There you go. Somebody wants it to happen. Take care, everyone. Stay safe. I'll speak to you on the next one.
