Hello, and welcome back to 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,360 another episode of Scots with a Mic. 6 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,120 I'm your host, James Scott, and it's been a very busy January 7 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,920 across Scotland. We've had lots of ingoings and 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,240 outgoings, and that is what we're here to talk about. 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,120 The transfer window slammed shut yesterday at this time of record 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,000 then. And yeah, there was a lot going 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,880 on right up to the deadline, lots of late moves and lots to 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080 talk about. So let's get into. 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Joining me on the podcast is Fen Crocker. 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,040 Fen, good to have you back on. Good to be on, lots to talk 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,080 about. I definitely and also joining us 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,120 is Nail Cavanaugh Nail how we doing? 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,360 Good mate, thank you. It's been a been a while since 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,240 I've been on a a lot's happened but. 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,960 Yeah, he must have just been non-stop with Celtic last night. 20 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:15,280 Luna. Luna coming in. 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,760 Final still could be another side in as well. 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Yeah, true. Yeah, Yeah, we'll get into that, 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,400 I'm sure. Yeah, I mean, right. 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,240 OK, where we start? I mean the biggest transfer in 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Scottish football was arguably Scotland striker Kieran Berry, 26 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,440 former Reef Rovers man. I'll plug that right now. 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,000 He moved from Herbs to Verona in the city for €6 million pounds 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200 plus add-ons. I believe so, yeah. 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Substantial fee, especially for a club like Herbs is one of the 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,920 biggest transfers we've seen from a non Old Firm. 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800 Club, I mean, I mean, it's a club record fee for Herbs, 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,880 massive, massive fee for him. I think the the bids that kept 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,480 on coming in and they rejected them. 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,400 We were all thinking, you know, you should take the money, but 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880 fair to play to Herbs. You know, they held out for for 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,000 what they deemed was was the value of Kieran Bowie. 37 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,320 And they've got their massive sale. 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,680 I think it was about 48 hours after he signed that the head 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,400 coach got sacked. So yeah. 40 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600 But also be basically thrown our rock bottom in the league. 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200 There's that context there. Yeah. 42 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Yeah. Well, they're I think 14 points. 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,360 I want to say they're round about the same points as 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,560 Fiorentina, but they only won their first game in December in 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,800 the league. You know, that's sort of where 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,760 they're sitting a bit on the table. 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,280 It's not looking great. And the managers obviously got 48 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720 the chop for us. Is that good or bad for him? 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,360 I don't know. Obviously he was. 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Obviously wasn't done too good a job. 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,320 Their second lowest scorers in the league. 52 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,000 And like you said, yeah, they are rock bottom. 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200 So maybe they're preparing for life in Sarah B. 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Maybe Kieran Bowie can conceive them from the drop. 55 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Well, I think Sarah B might actually not actually be too bad 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 for him if they were to go down, get some experience kind of kind 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,240 of similar to what Josh Doig did. 58 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840 And he's came back stronger this season. 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,680 So yeah, we'll have to see he's. Made almost £10,000,000 off 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,240 Verona Habs, by the way, that's they've got a good thing going 61 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,080 there. It's a, it's a tiny wee, yeah. 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840 So Josh Doyke, he was done, said Abby as well. 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,600 He's not special and it's done well for him. 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,080 So but I mean, is a good move in terms of when you look at like 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,880 you mentioned there, one of the lowest scorers in the league, 66 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,240 strikers of us and not up to the job so far. 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,720 Pretty. I mean, it looks good from 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,280 potentially getting game time at least. 69 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,880 I mean, I guess that's always one of the worries. 70 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040 These guys go tightly and like Lennon, Millie's finally getting 71 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,360 his chance now in the start of the season, as the mums went by, 72 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,040 you start to think, oh, has it been the night movies not 73 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760 getting game time at all? But I think it's we could maybe 74 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,880 expect to see Kimbe fairly quickly get in a run out to see 75 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040 if he's going to bring something extra to the table that their 76 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,520 current strike force isn't. But yeah, no, it's good. 77 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,280 It's good to see Hebs but you said stand on their ground and I 78 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,120 mean personally I don't know where if I was the value came 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,960 bad dead thing sex my own was on the the higher side but hubs 80 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,320 didn't need to sell and they did. 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,720 Exactly. They let the club's test the 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,200 resolve and they held out and they got, like you said, the 83 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,200 biggest thing when the Creek Gordon got Sunland. 84 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,920 It must be around 2007. 7. 2007, right? 85 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,200 I've got that bang on. Yeah, that's 20 years. 86 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,520 And when you go back, actually you consider that's a lot of 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,000 money to be getting thrown around. 88 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Back. In year back in. 89 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,280 That does matter at the time. Yeah. 90 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,720 And I think one of the only other sort of big fees was for 91 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,320 Scott Brown going hips to Celtic. 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Yeah. That was a club record fee I 93 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,760 believe before the Kieran Bowie sale, so. 94 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,240 I know. But yeah, obviously good. 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,960 I think it's good for obviously for Scotland as a team we 96 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,160 getting on our national side, it's got another player in this 97 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,360 area. Yeah, I think it's also good for 98 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,240 for Scotland as a league as well. 99 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280 I think obviously we talk about Scotland internationals a lot, 100 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,760 but I think for the league itself, it's really good to see, 101 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240 you know, non Old Firm clubs as well as Old Firm clubs holding 102 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,600 out for for these these top fees that we've not seen for so long 103 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,080 for their best players. Because I think for so long 104 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,240 clubs have just, you know, take taking whatever they're given 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,080 really. Yeah, almost like. 106 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,280 Ferguson yeah, yeah, Key. They all win. 107 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,080 I mean it's kind of comparing different players here. 108 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320 They're not a striker and you know, maybe different ages and 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,960 stuff. Like they didn't go for anywhere 110 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,920 near this sort of money. Even Lennon Miller, there's only 111 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,800 5.5 million I believe that might be EUR as well. 112 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,680 So. Yeah, it seems a bit more but 113 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,520 like even even in the last few days Massuinis say Motherwell 114 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,440 they were they received a bit of I think 2.5 million from 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,280 Blackburn, turned it down because he's worth more. 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,080 Dundee got a 7 figure bid from Portsmouth for Luke Graham, 117 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,280 turned it down as well. So, you know, it's good to see 118 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,080 that these clubs that are valuing their players more and 119 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,600 that they are holding out for these bigger fees obviously as 120 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,280 well. Celtics turning down 25,000,000 121 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,240 for angles. We can, we can debate whether 122 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,400 that's smart or stupidity. You know, that's one for up for 123 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,480 debate as well. No, I think it is good to see 124 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,880 you especially see when you look down in England some of the fees 125 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,160 getting branded about for players, for example, Yorgen, 126 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,080 Stan Larson, 50 million or just under 50 million, Crystal Palace 127 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,160 from Wolves, two goals all season. 128 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,200 So I think these clubs have got every right to be asking for 129 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320 these prices. James, you've touched on as 130 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,400 well, when clubs are in a position to sell, when they 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,480 don't need to sell, then why not ask for these fees? 132 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,960 There's no Hibbs swearing exactly rushing, Keyed and Bebe 133 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,880 out at all. But they've got a good enough 134 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440 fee there. So I think they've got every day 135 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,520 and they should be. I'd like to see more of it, more 136 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,240 demanding, high fees. I think, I think all parties in 137 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120 that situation are happy, like Hibbs will be got to lose 1 of 138 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760 their star players. But like you said, the money 139 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,960 they've got in a key for next season, you know, so it's 140 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600 something they can really use to invest in our squad. 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,040 And yeah, I. Did go out quickly and sign a 142 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 few replacements obviously, I think it was Dane Scarlett from 143 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Tottenham on the loan as and Ando and Elding from from Sligo 144 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,520 Rovers. So they did go out, try and 145 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720 replace them as quickly as possible while still, you know, 146 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,960 not going out, being rash and keeping a lot of money, as you 147 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,200 said, in the Kitty for next season. 148 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,240 Yeah, about what? What we'll go back up because 149 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,080 we'll work our way through some of the top transfers in 150 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,280 Scotland, but what we'll do is we'll cover a couple of the 151 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,760 Scottish ones first. London Dykes made his transfer 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680 from Birmingham to Charl and obviously wasn't getting too 153 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,240 much game time at Birmingham and he made a good start to life at 154 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,720 the Valley with a goal at the begin against Ipswich I believe, 155 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,560 which is quite funny because I think they were one of the 156 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,000 club's been rumoured to the after them or no Lester the last 157 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600 time. Yeah, it was less to score 158 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,640 together. I think both, sorry, both those 159 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,000 clubs around from actually, but yeah, he end up scoring against 160 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,440 them, took his goal well, again, he's another failure, has not 161 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,720 been getting too much game time. But yes, again, it's so crucial 162 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280 to the way Steve Carr plays when he lines out Scotland up 163 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,840 sometimes depending on how he wants us to go about our 164 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,400 business. How good is it to see him, you 165 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,200 know, going somewhere He's clearly going to be getting game 166 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,760 time. It's a back four months coming 167 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280 up for a lot of players across the different leagues are 168 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080 wanting to be in that squad in June. 169 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200 Dykes is a guy there's been sort of question marks around because 170 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,919 I think people have sort of been saying how long can a guy that's 171 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,799 not getting games consistently stay in a squad based on the 172 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,840 matter of what he's done before. But I think yeah, well, does 173 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480 well from. I think it's a different, I 174 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,920 think it's a big four months from for different reasons than 175 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,360 others. I think for others it's about 176 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,200 getting in the squad. I think for him it's about 177 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,960 getting as fit as possible. You mentioned there he made a 178 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800 good start. I think he came on against 179 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560 Sheffield United and within 60 seconds of coming on he got an 180 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,560 assist. Only goal of the game, one nil 181 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,360 win. So it's been a good start to 182 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,440 him. He's plays 90 minutes, two 183 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,280 games, 87 minutes against Leicester, as you said, where he 184 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,280 where he got a goal. And I think, yeah, he's not 185 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,560 going to be dropped from Steve Clark squad, let's be honest. 186 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,320 But it's about being the best player that he can be for what 187 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,920 what he is because because obviously he's not that clinical 188 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,880 goal scorer. He's not going to get a hat 189 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,120 trick every game, but but he's going to win every single 190 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,560 header. And it's about being as fit as 191 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:38,120 possible come come June 11th or whatever it is against Haiti. 192 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,200 Yeah, I mean, as well worth knowing, unfortunately he did 193 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,680 mess out in the EUR back in 2024 like that was that was, you 194 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,800 know, heartbreaking stuff for him. 195 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,840 He was, he was still over with the squad. 196 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000 No, that's how much he enjoys being part of that unit and 197 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,120 stuff. But unfortunately someone who 198 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240 was so important and getting us there wasn't able to take part. 199 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,200 And it would have been a shame if you know, he just tapered it 200 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,240 off in form and just wasn't really going into the World Cup 201 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040 in the best place, whether that's in the squad or not. 202 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,160 And this will give him the best chance to and like you said, 203 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000 starting life off in the night. We a goal and assessed in his 204 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120 first couple of games. Can't really complain. 205 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,400 Think I mean, there was it was quite a few Scottish boys on the 206 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,240 move. Actually. 207 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,320 We'll just rattle through a couple and then we'll get some 208 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,200 sort of general opinions. Even Mooney of Saint Madden went 209 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,680 down to Arsenal. 18 year old, good move for a young guy, 210 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,720 Although I mean you do see a lot of these young guys going down 211 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,000 to the big clubs down South and sometimes you do go a bit mess 212 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,360 and see there's always that concern. 213 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,960 But I guess the youngster will be absolutely buzzing to get a 214 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,120 move like that and I heard someone with the chop in there. 215 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,840 Yeah, yeah, I was just going to say as an Aberdeen fan that that 216 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,400 brings me back to Lewis Perrier, who I think at the time he had 217 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,680 scored like 40 goals and 30 games, something mental and went 218 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,640 down to Leeds Academy and I've not heard anything about him 219 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920 since. I'm always a bit wary where, you 220 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,240 know, are these players really, are they really investing for 221 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,120 for in these guys for the future or are they just bolstering out 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880 there on the 21 squad for for the key players that they are 223 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,040 investing in? Because with the amount of money 224 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,280 that they get, I saw something where each Champions League win 225 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360 is I think 4 million on top of it for Arsenal. 226 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:26,120 So with with one win, a 10th of that is is gone to Evan Mooney. 227 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,720 Obviously I think it was around 400 K for for him to move down. 228 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,080 They've got to sell on theme St. Mirren as well, but it's it's 229 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,320 pennies for these guys. So are they, are they investing 230 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,720 in them or are they just bolstering out their their youth 231 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,000 squads for other players that they do see a future for? 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,240 Yeah, I mean, it's interesting as well because like, Arsenal 233 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160 has not been a club. There's been too many Scottish 234 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,680 guys recently, apart from Kim Bowie, Kimberly Quintini, sorry, 235 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800 and then they signed Callan Hammer, or I believe it's 236 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Simpson Johnson, and he's been doing fairly well. 237 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,320 He's been doing really well for them. 238 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,000 Yeah, and he rave reviews. Only 15, I'm pretty sure he was 239 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280 training with. Was it the first team? 240 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,920 Was he? Yeah, it was the first team for 241 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,200 a couple times. So I think he's, I can't 242 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,200 remember his under seventeens or under nineteens captain. 243 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,200 He's one of the two and he's just been included in the under 244 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,720 17 Scotland squad again. So yeah, he's did really well. 245 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,560 I and he's yeah I mean he's he's he's well thought of down there 246 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,600 centre half as well position we've not been blessed with too 247 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760 much over the recent years so it's good to see that umm but 248 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,560 another player that Arsenal were interested in but it didn't end 249 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,880 up happening. He went to Tottenham Hotspur on 250 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,480 loan is James Wilson. Umm, I mean, that just seemed to 251 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,400 come out of nowhere, doesn't. It that's the that's the most 252 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,880 bizarre move of the window for me. 253 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,880 It's obviously T she can play in the for the under 20 ones. 254 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,040 But like you say, James, it just came out and nowhere like 255 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,960 literally nowhere like he was he's leaving. 256 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,760 He's not even been playing at hearts and then all of a sudden 257 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200 taught number and from. So I think that probably falls 258 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,280 under the category that friend was taught about as where was 259 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,240 did he actually have a eye for the future as James Wilson or 260 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,720 are they just wanting to like bull stop in under 21 squad? 261 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,960 Yeah. And the way it's done is like 262 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,520 it's a loan with the auction to buy in the site. 263 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,040 No, I think it's a good move for the lads. 264 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,280 Obviously happy for him and I'm glad it's alone because 265 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,920 obviously it doesn't. If it doesn't work out, you can 266 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,240 come back up and and still be at Hearts. 267 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,400 But I'd honestly not be surprised if he makes his debut. 268 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,240 As far as this season, I know that's bold to say, but in the 269 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,280 January transfer window, they signed 1 senior player. 270 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,040 Yeah, they're they've got an incredible injury crisis, one 271 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,040 that I've never seen before. And if their squad gets better, 272 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,320 I would not be surprised if if he makes his debut at one point. 273 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:48,000 Be shocked by that to fail. I know he's been good but for me 274 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,880 that's a that's a better stretch. 275 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,000 But like you said that when he's got the the perks of getting, I 276 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120 mean, Adam, that's usually on the podcast from Gorgie talk 277 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:02,560 that says like as long as he's at Tynecastle under that 278 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,080 McKenna, he won't get much game time. 279 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,440 Derek is not been, I mean, he has brought free guys like Lewis 280 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,440 Ferguson. He did play with David Watson at 281 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480 Kilmarnock, but he's not been like overly known for playing 282 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,120 young players and maybe giving them a chance to go here does 283 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,560 expose them to something new, give them opportunities that you 284 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,960 wouldn't begin the hearts right now. 285 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,040 Even if he has traded with the first team, but that's a real 286 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,920 bonus. I just. 287 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,680 Question what it does to his value if spars you know, if he 288 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560 just plays in under 20 ones for the next couple of months and 289 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,760 any retardants to hearts in the summer and spars just got now 290 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,760 you know right like what I mean it's good for. 291 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840 I don't think it makes as big an impact as you think because even 292 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,080 if he doesn't get sighted permanently, he's still trained 293 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,520 with the first team at Spurs and you learn from players that are 294 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 leaps and bounds above anything at heart. 295 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,800 So I think, I think it's, I think it's only positive. 296 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,080 I don't know about the way Spurs are playing. 297 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,400 I don't know how many leaps. Well, come on, let's not compare 298 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,120 Hearts. Let's not compare Hearts. 299 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600 The Spurs. So I thought you were you going 300 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,200 to jump in there now. But I do get that point because 301 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,280 that is an interesting point because would it benefit more 302 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,520 being in an under 21 station room for six months or being an 303 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,840 addressing room that's going for a league title like in the and 304 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,480 like few years down the lane and his career 10 years time she's 305 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,440 still at hearts of moved on. I think expedience of being an 306 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,280 attention and that's going for a league title, I think would 307 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520 probably benefit more than just being in a under 21 station 308 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,840 room. Yeah, I mean, I agree with that. 309 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,240 But the same time if he's get obviously it's big FS, but if he 310 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960 is getting exposed to first team at Spurs and I think that's 311 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,120 really good for him as well. And I think right now he's fifth 312 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560 choice striker Hearts, which is crazy. 313 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,160 And I think he had options to go out on Luntus and Johnson and 314 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,040 they they they blocked that heart. 315 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,800 So, you know, who knows? I think that's one that we'll 316 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360 just have to wait to. See, that's quite a very slight 317 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,000 indoors moment. From there you can go into Perf. 318 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,080 Instead, he's ended up like Hotspur. 319 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,080 Like, is this so funny how these things work out? 320 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,400 But I know best of luck to James because if it works out from 321 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560 that could be, you know, that could really like make his 322 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,400 career, but we'll have to wait and see see how it plays out. 323 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,520 Touching on a couple other Scotland transfers, right? 324 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,160 Finley got this. I've got that right this time 325 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,880 going from Rangers to Kilmarnock on loan. 326 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840 I mean, he's a guy I would have liked to seen in the first team 327 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,760 of Rangers. To be honest. 328 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,360 I'm surprised he's going to Kilmarnock. 329 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,400 I mean, I don't know, I don't mean to hammer Neil McCann here, 330 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,920 but his management track record isn't amazing. 331 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,520 I don't know what another forum on Sunday him, Finley Curtis 332 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600 under him like the parts would do for his development. 333 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,200 But you know, I guess that's we'll just have to wait and see 334 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,560 how that plays out. Transfers that didn't happen. 335 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,680 That's a wee topic we can touch on because there was a massive 336 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,440 story that broke about Robertson leave in Liverpool, Andy 337 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,240 Robertson, Scotland captain, leave in Liverpool and go into 338 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,920 Tottenham as well, really blow up, but then it didn't happen. 339 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Where does that sit with you guys? 340 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,720 Is that something you would like to see happen? 341 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,160 Because obviously he is kind of playing second fiddle to 342 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,280 calculus. From a Scotland point of view, 343 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,040 if you've been selfish then yes, you would like to see it happen. 344 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,560 It's the same as dates you want your key players to be playing 345 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,520 regularly going into the World Cup. 346 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,120 But a, I think as well, if you look at it on the flip side, 347 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,280 he's he's obviously clearly happy at Liverpool. 348 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,720 You know what he's going to get for Liverpool. 349 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,600 He's still going to be heavily involved I think, because I 350 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040 think in recent weeks he's been more up to it. 351 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,960 But in the first few months Kirk is was a bit hot and cold. 352 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,880 So I think he's still going to feature a lot. 353 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,880 But just you'd obviously rather him playing week in week out. 354 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,920 But if he's happy but playing each club football, then I think 355 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,440 that'll be that'll be all right. Yeah. 356 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,920 I think, I think it could have actually worked out well if he'd 357 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,480 gone to Tottenham and he could have, you know, kind of taken 358 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,840 James Wilson under his wing a bit. 359 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040 But no, as long as he's still getting some game time at 360 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,120 Liverpool, I think it's all right. 361 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:28,320 Obviously he's regarded so highly in Liverpool, almost like 362 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,680 a club legend I think. Every location now on the 363 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,400 talking about, you know how much the fans appreciate Sort of 364 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,320 modern day legend. Absolutely. 365 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,240 He has kind of, in his time at Liverpool, reinvented what means 366 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,800 to be a fullback. Absolutely. 367 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,280 I think people, I think you'll only get the recognition that he 368 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,160 deserves when he retires. I think how much he 369 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,960 revolutionized the modern day fullback is quite understated. 370 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,120 I think when you think back, it was him and Alexander Arnold 371 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,560 that kind of created this, this shift that we see today as as 372 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,280 normal. So yeah, he's he's been integral 373 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,040 to a great Liverpool side over the years. 374 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,440 He's adored by them. And I think it's it's probably 375 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,360 only right that he stayed. Obviously, like Niall said, from 376 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,920 a selfish point of view, I'd love to see him get booked more 377 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,640 game time. But, you know, I'm sure he's 378 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,640 happy where he is. Yeah, but he said World Cup 379 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,200 coming up, you want him to play in. 380 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,320 But I mean, I think he his contract runs out in the summer. 381 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,760 He will be playing football away from marriage aside, at some 382 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,640 point next season. And I think this will be. 383 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,400 To see you'd expect to get a a proper and field farewell at the 384 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,800 end of the season that yeah, if he'd left. 385 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:46,520 And as much as it's theatrical and isn't really substance any 386 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,840 of any material substance to how his footballs played, I'm sure 387 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,240 that you would quite like to get that sort of heroes goodbye. 388 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,160 Yeah. And I think when you think about 389 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,240 having a Scotland shirt as well, I think this might be or 390 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,440 probably is the the last major tournament that he will be 391 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,800 starting for us because I think in 2028 he'll be God. 392 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,680 How old, 3534? Yeah, he's 31 right now, but he 393 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,560 turns 32 in March, so. Yeah, maybe 34. 394 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:15,800 I've come there, you know. Sorry. 395 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,040 EUR, Yeah, the EUR will be 34 and I think there's enough 396 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,280 talent coming through that, you know, he's clearly not at his 397 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,160 prime anymore. And I think, you know, there's 398 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,600 potential that he wouldn't start the euro. 399 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,640 So obviously that's a wait and see. 400 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,720 You'll be in the squad at the matching styles. 401 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,320 There's some sort of massive shift in what's coming through. 402 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,440 But like you said, this is maybe his last crack. 403 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680 It being one of the main many def. 404 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,920 I can't imagine it to be captain. 405 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040 Come then if he was, you know, he's not going to be playing 406 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,600 regularly for us. So yeah, no. 407 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600 But yeah, that worked out the way it did. 408 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,880 We had rumors of Lennon Miller going to Strasbourg, but the 409 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,200 sort of peered out and now he seems to begin a lot more 410 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,360 regular game time at Otanese. And he was playing the other 411 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,440 night, used to beat Roma one now, which was a great result 412 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,840 for him and the team. And he's like, like I said, 413 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,480 that's him 123456 last six games he's featured quite heavily. 414 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,800 So yeah, great to see for him. Just just to add on to that, I 415 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,520 think the Danaze fans absolutely love him. 416 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,960 I've seen also even other fans from different Syria clubs 417 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,880 saying like, you know, this is this is a guy for the future and 418 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,160 a couple. He's got something best. 419 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,760 Than him like I've been on my Google Translate on Twitter and 420 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,320 everything like that. Yeah. 421 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,160 What was it? Miller must play. 422 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,280 Lenin must play there. Yeah, they played there. 423 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080 It's a Como game or something. But yeah, he's, he's been really 424 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,320 good for them. So it's good to see you 'cause 425 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560 yeah, there was a few months where I think me and you, James, 426 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,400 were thinking, is this going to work out? 427 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,400 There was a reason for. The bench, it's not like you 428 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,120 expect them to go in and start dominating and starting every 429 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,680 week, but like you really just wasn't featuring at all and you 430 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,920 kind of thought when's he going to get, when's he going to get 431 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,440 his break? There was even rumours of him 432 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800 being homesick. I didn't believe that, but you 433 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,000 know, you never know. But yeah, good to see him 434 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,760 finding his feet in Italy. Then another guy in Italy there 435 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,760 was rumoured to be moving. Was she Adams on the Planetarino 436 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,560 scored a couple of goals in his last couple of games. 437 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,040 He finally found this sort of goal scoring form. 438 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Believe he got two against Roma and then he scored one at the 439 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,960 weekend there. So yeah, he was rumored to be 440 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,360 going to Wolves, which are in pretty dire straights at the 441 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:23,040 bottom of the Premier League. So I think I'll speak for 442 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,160 everyone when I say I'm glad he's not ended up there. 443 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,520 Yeah, as well. Not much, not much said about 444 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,840 that. I think he much prefers, I think 445 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,520 you'll probably much prefer being at 3:00 than Wolverhampton 446 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,240 Wanderers. And yeah, glad that didn't 447 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,520 happen. I'm not even sure he would be 448 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,760 first choice straight kid at wolves either. 449 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Yeah. I think he would be well, 450 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,520 obviously strand Larson's left, but I just don't think he'd have 451 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,040 been like, no offense, he Adams, but we was also looking to stay 452 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,040 up and I just don't think that's a a Maliki signing. 453 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,960 So I think it was obviously just for for the squad. 454 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Yeah and then like as well when I say there are two goals 455 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,160 against roll my scored against Leche at the weekend. 456 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,120 You're finally getting goals. You know he's not been the most 457 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,920 prolific over there and he's got you know, 3 in the last four 458 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,760 games so I don't know why suddenly. 459 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,080 Exactly. So yeah, another guy that was 460 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,040 rumoured to be on the move was Nathan Patterson potential and 461 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,920 moved to Genoa. What's the thoughts around that? 462 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Because Patterson hasn't been featured and overly forever and 463 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,720 and. He surprised me a wee bit 464 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,920 because I know you thought you said there that he hasn't overly 465 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080 been featuring, but I think he's actually like featured the. 466 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,400 Last couple months. I will, yeah, he's coming. 467 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,320 I mean the last few games ever and he played 71 minutes, Aston 468 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,520 Villa played 90 minutes. Probably 116, yeah. 469 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,880 But I was a bit, I was a wee bit surprised when that leak came 470 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000 out that because I believe that Jake O'Brien's back from injury, 471 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,760 which maybe we have a factor in it, but then. 472 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520 How long does that last or no true like that's that's kind of 473 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,840 new a new obviously when when you read stuff online, they do 474 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,000 even the funds and the blogs. The ones added enemy sort of 475 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,280 thing that he was a backup to James O'Brien. 476 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,560 And it's kind of like again. I mean, if you think back, 477 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,480 Nathan Patterson was probably our biggest prospect to write 478 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,200 back before he started getting his injured problems and then 479 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,800 I'm breaking a. Member friendly against Poland, 480 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320 I don't know if you remember, I think it was yeah, they got a 481 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040 penalty to equalize and last minute that wasn't one and he 482 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,200 absolutely told them to shreds that game just up and down the 483 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760 wing all all that long. And I think that was when I was 484 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,640 like, oh, this guy's like really got potential. 485 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,400 And obviously he's not gone on and and done that consistently 486 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,040 and he's been out his worst enemy, but I hope that he can 487 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,040 get over that and, and trying to find some, some regular game 488 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,000 time. I don't know if that's going to 489 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,120 happen. Everything like you said, 490 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:04,840 O'Brien, what I've read is that, yeah, he's not, he's not really 491 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,440 thought that fondly by the fans. Hopefully it can change their 492 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,600 minds. Obviously, he's just for them. 493 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,880 He's just been injured for so long that they've not really got 494 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,680 a chance to look at him properly for a for a sustained period of 495 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,360 time. Yeah, he's like one of the sort 496 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:19,800 of one, but no, the picture for that long. 497 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,240 Maybe a bit like an heckey as well. 498 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,280 You kind of like even as I've got on fine. 499 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,480 You can you came back. I think you featured early last 500 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,960 year might be wrong in saying that, but it kind of came back. 501 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,600 You're like goodness, you know, and then you look his agencies 502 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,520 only 24 like this guy scores so much as clear head on me. 503 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,240 I wasn't not there writing them off, but you do can you just 504 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,920 slips out to the back of your mind and other guys become your 505 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,200 natural first choice when you're thinking of who you'd start for 506 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,800 the team especially, I mean what Italy has done for Scottish 507 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760 players of recent years. Would you blame him for having 508 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,280 having a look over there and going? 509 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,360 You know, I want a better that, you know, a decent league chance 510 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,600 to prove myself as a good level and also get minutes under my 511 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,960 belt and put myself in contention for the summer 512 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,920 because he's our guy that missed the EUR last last time around. 513 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,200 We end up playing Ralston at right back. 514 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,960 He'll be going. You know what, there's an 515 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,280 opportunity to get it right back there. 516 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,440 Hecky's not playing every week for Brentford. 517 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,560 You know, there's a chance that right back spot might be up for 518 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,880 grabs. And you know, if I can get 519 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,200 consistent game time, why can't it be me? 520 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,720 So yeah, another one, one last one, one last one. 521 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,560 It didn't happen was Rory Wilson on our top striking prospects at 522 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,960 Aston Villa. He was rumoured to be in a 523 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,640 similar, sort of a similar sort of James Wilson move, 524 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,600 Hoffenheimer sort of doing one through our loan to potentially 525 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,760 by in the summer. But yeah, couldn't be worked out 526 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,080 there. And I think there's still stuff 527 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,800 on the, I think, can we say fan about the yes? 528 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,760 So there's a buy option that was proposed by Hoffenheim for about 529 00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:00,080 €7 million, but they're looking just to do a straight loan for 530 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,920 Rory because I think Aston Villas still have them, still 531 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,680 have Rory in in their long term plans. 532 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,920 So the transfer window shut here obviously and in the major 533 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,680 leagues in Europe, but there is still options in Norway and 534 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,280 Sweden I believe because their windows are open much longer, 535 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,760 March and April I think. So obviously no names being 536 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,360 dropped, but there's clubs interested in in Norway and 537 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,360 Sweden. So all hope is not lost because 538 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,360 I think, yeah, Hoffenheim was getting floated about there, But 539 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,440 I was thinking, you know, how much game time is he going to 540 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,280 get when there's the strikers like Kramerich in the fray? 541 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,720 So start. Start in the Bundesliga, Yeah, I 542 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,240 think, I think the talk was they were they were more using mostly 543 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,920 going to be and then in the end of 20 series, I think that was 544 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,480 kind of what we heard getting floated about. 545 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,800 So yeah, I mean hopefully does get moved because he is really 546 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,560 at the point in his career we should be getting first team. 547 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,680 Football, you're good enough and he's good enough. 548 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240 Well, he is good enough and you know, he last season or even 549 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,880 early that season, he was handed by a lot of injury sort of stuff 550 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,000 going on. It is time he should be kacking 551 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,200 on. He's been one of our hottest 552 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,640 prospects for a while that we said one of the previous pods 553 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,160 when he went to Arsenal Villa, he kind of went down South. 554 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,440 This was a similar hype to the week Gilmore that So that's, you 555 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,360 know, that's the level a guy, you know, we should really be 556 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,600 hoping for. You know, he's only just pushing 557 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,600 into his 20s. But like, yeah, it'd be good to 558 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720 see him actually, because men's football. 559 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,520 Yeah, because because he's, he's been doing really well all the 560 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,600 time that he's been in the youth teams. 561 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,000 Aston Villa where to the point, all Aston Villa fans have been 562 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,880 taken, you know, talking about when's he going to play, when's 563 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,880 he going to play, Should be the first team that's not happened. 564 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,240 He's he's. Scotland fan, you know we've not 565 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,400 been blessed with strikers so when you see a guy coming who 566 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,120 that's doing your desperate desperate why is he not getting 567 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,480 game time out and he. Scored, he scored a hat trick in 568 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,040 the UEFA Youth League this season as well. 569 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:53,360 So he is clinical and hopefully he can show that in a league 570 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,760 where where it's first team football and and then kick on 571 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,920 from there obviously. Yeah, exactly right. 572 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,640 OK, enough of the Scotland boys will get on to sort of league 573 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,560 details now starting with Hearts. 574 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,040 We'll work our way down from the top. 575 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,720 They've been getting the business done quite early, 576 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,640 bringing in Geordie Altena and is it from, well you right back 577 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,880 1.4 million, Volvic, Well, absolutely no one near about 578 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,280 that one, €1.2 million. I think that was one that they 579 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760 were speaking about for a week while, wasn't it? 580 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,680 They also brought an Islam Cheznikov right winger on the 581 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,800 fee and then Ugandan Rogers Mato from Massudo inside Nevada. 582 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,600 That was just a loan. That was a mark. 583 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,280 Leonard as well. Mark Leonard two, sorry, yeah. 584 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,120 Is it the option for loan for Rogers Mato? 585 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,360 Is that not? Not so no, no they they 586 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,080 announced them on a pre contract and then. 587 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,760 Like in the. Middle of January and then I 588 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,200 think they got them on loan until the end of the season and 589 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,480 then obviously it will become permanent in the summer. 590 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,960 Sorry. And that's why I was trying to 591 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,600 work my way to. But I can remember because what 592 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,680 happened was they announced a pre contract and then I believe 593 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 it was an MLS club with some description, came in to Vidar 594 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,360 and put in a transfer request from not a transfer request, but 595 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,440 you know, the North offer. And suddenly it was a, you know, 596 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,840 it was all open air because you'd had this pre contract, 597 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,040 same heart as allegedly. And suddenly, you know, Vidar 598 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,040 looking to sell them. So yeah, but end up getting 599 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,120 their man in a roundabout way. And then he said Leonard as 600 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,760 well, looks like a good, bad business bringing him back to 601 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,320 Tyne Castle. Obviously was there as a 602 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,800 youngster and then he was thought off quite highly. 603 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,360 Birmingham, you know, I think when you were talking about 604 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,320 their guy for. So I tapping on for a Scotland 605 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,360 call up at some point. And then he seems to have fallen 606 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,960 in a favor. But he's ended up at Tyne Castle 607 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760 and the hunt for a title. So, yeah, recruits. 608 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,400 Well, what do we think there? I think Mark Clendard could be 609 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,760 an absolutely massive sign and I've seen what he can do. 610 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,200 I don't think many fans have watched the much at Birmingham 611 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,560 or Northampton. When he was at Northampton, I 612 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,680 think that was at the same time Kieran Bowie was there as well. 613 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,920 Yeah. So yeah, he's he's phenomenal. 614 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,800 I think he could be a really big sign and I think you saw 615 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,440 glimpses of that in the Celtic game. 616 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,040 The to to Celtic game dropped. Him straight into the starting 617 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,360 lineup, Yeah, he sort of strolled it. 618 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,840 Yeah, I think he was one of the best players on the pitch. 619 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,760 You know, we'll see what he's like in the in the coming weeks 620 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,600 obviously as well, but I think that's a massive sign in Geordie 621 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,400 Altena. Again, great signing. 622 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,080 You know, maybe a bit late in the in the fillback department. 623 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,600 They go out and they get one early in the window as well. 624 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,560 And like I said, Rogers matter. They were getting quoted for I 625 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,480 think 1.5 million for him. They went no, not doing it. 626 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,600 I'll just sign a pre contract. And then obviously they've given 627 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,760 him a smaller loan fee and he's came straight away to to kind of 628 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,640 ease the injury that that Jacques Cliff has for the next 629 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,000 couple weeks along with Kibori and and obviously Claudio Braga. 630 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,760 So I think they're they've recruited really well. 631 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,960 I think they've shown intent and I'd say that they've probably 632 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,480 done the best business of the window, maybe only behind 633 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Rangers. They also have signed Josh 634 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,680 Mcpaic on a pre contract. Yeah, Yeah. 635 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,760 That was way back. Yeah. 636 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,320 I mean, yeah. But it's good. 637 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,240 It has been good business for Hearts because there was they 638 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,600 were always going to be tested this window with, you know, it 639 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,960 was a talk of if they're still in the title race now they'd 640 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,320 have to have a good giant window just ensure they had the ground 641 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,800 run into, you know, the final straight to the season. 642 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,240 And they have been Hanford with a couple injuries, Cami Devlin 643 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,080 and Shanglin. They're absolutely key men to 644 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,960 what they've been doing at Tynecastle and and their absence 645 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,920 on those gaps was going to be hard. 646 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,520 But like you said, I mean, across the board, you know, 647 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,400 brain in guys like that. Mato, Ugandan international 648 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,360 scored the AFCON. You've got George Del Tanner as 649 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,880 well. And then, you know, Leonard 650 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,720 looks like they've done well and you know, these other guys are 651 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,720 injured. Welcome back. 652 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,720 So I think like put some in a good possession going into the 653 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440 final stretch. Just got to see how that plays 654 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,200 out. Points at Mountain tonight. 655 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,240 So we'll have to find out what happens there to see if they 656 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,760 extend their lead at the top. Now coming down a little bit, 657 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,680 Niall, you're on with us as our Celtic informant. 658 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,360 Lots of deadline day business went on at Parkhead. 659 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,120 Obviously he got the Thomas Schvanchiera. 660 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,000 Fun shit I funshot. Enough. 661 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,880 That would do. Yeah, he came in quite early on 662 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,560 on from Gladbach, got an assessed in his opening game. 663 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,960 He's looked like probably a pack of the bunch in terms of what 664 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,680 you brought in, but talk us through those are the guy you 665 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,840 brought in, obviously 4-5 ones in total, yeah. 666 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,680 Yeah, but they start no money, no money spent. 667 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,600 I'm presuming there's probably a couple of loan fees in there. 668 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,520 But yeah, Shank, Kinshana, Shank that. 669 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,720 He's probably the packet a bunch. 670 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,960 However, I'll hold and place that right back. 671 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,440 I'm not sure if many listeners have watched, but he's been 672 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,520 decent. A junior Adamo from Freiburg had 673 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,120 a promising start to his career, broke through and Switzerland 674 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,159 and then moved to Salzburg and Austria who unknown to produce 675 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:17,480 good talent. Benjamin Alpha alone from 676 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,040 Brentford. I'm not sure why. 677 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,040 I don't really get the the point in that, just developing 678 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:30,800 somebody else's player, but a Joe Mavuku from Laurent, he's 679 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,639 probably the one who's had the most controversy about him, was 680 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:41,600 going to sign a deal with about £3,000,000 and he's medical. 681 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,840 It flagged up that he has heart problems. 682 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:50,320 So so take last minute, we negotiated to deal to a loan to 683 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,920 buy. So All in all, I think there's 684 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,080 three loan to buy's in there and two straight out loans. 685 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,600 I mean, you said earlier you kind of thought, I mean, there's 686 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,080 two lines of thinking about that when you go and they don't want 687 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160 to spend back because they know they've not got a permanent 688 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,040 manager. O'Neill won't be there past this 689 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,360 summer. So you kind of want to give that 690 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,440 money to the new guy coming in. But at the same time you're 691 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,960 saying, well, you know, I've Celtic, if you know Celtic spend 692 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,880 12 million on a player. I'm just blocking numbers out 693 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,600 there here. They spend 12 million on a 694 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,560 player and the Scottish Premier League, a guy of that caliber is 695 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,400 going to do the job. So the manager coming in, you 696 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,480 know, should be happy to see a guy that's hopefully done a job 697 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,080 for you over the, you know, the tail end of the season and then 698 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,840 he can pack up with that and going to the next. 699 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,040 Yeah, I mean, for me, I think Benjamin Arthur is the weirdest 700 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,560 one at the bunch when you've got a player like Stephen Welsh. 701 00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:40,000 What's that? Obviously, yeah. 702 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,480 He's gone back to Motherwell. Yeah, first half the season. 703 00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:48,040 Yeah, after, after signing Benjamin Arthur, you reload out 704 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,800 Stephen Welsh, the Motherwell her, you know, they're not far 705 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,200 off Celtic, I'm telling you, they're, I think they're four 706 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,720 points behind, you know. Motherwell fans are very happy 707 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:59,600 with that. So yeah, Motherwell, I mean, I 708 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,520 guess it keeps on playing. I suppose if he's not going to 709 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,720 be playing, maybe Celtic are looking next season going, you 710 00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,440 know, where we could be a guy we rely on. 711 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,560 So let's just keep Motherwell. But he's doing good things, he's 712 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,400 developing, he's found somewhere, he's playing good 713 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,560 football and hopefully, I mean, you never know, Gentians, 714 00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:17,160 Motherwell fans will hate me for saying this, but that could be a 715 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,920 manager. Celtic a look at next season, 716 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,040 I'm sure if he was coming in to say like and Stephen Welsh was 717 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,120 already there, you know, that's I mean, that's our conversation 718 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,320 for a different day. And then one we touched already 719 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,240 is there's a potential for fee agent Oxley Chamberlain coming 720 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:35,480 in as a late signing. What are your thoughts on that? 721 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,120 I'd be I'd be happy with that because I know he's not really 722 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,120 played since May when he was released from the heat task, but 723 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,600 he's been training with Arsenal and I believe I deal was in the 724 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,680 pipeline from Arteta because he oversee thinks he's good enough 725 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,680 to be entering the squad. But I think you'd be a good 726 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,080 option. I believe personally that I 727 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,280 think you'd be a better option off the bench and like me, Cohen 728 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,160 or Paolo Bernardo, who in my opinion haven't been updated 729 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,760 this season. So not as I say, and I can I can 730 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:14,000 get behind and it's not really a panic by Ida Kelechi and actual 731 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,720 enough. He was just a complete panicked 732 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:21,600 by because they couldn't get a striker in but I and obviously 733 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,240 Martin the new rate some. So this may be this could be 734 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:29,160 biased, but whatever Martin O'Neill thinks, it gets my fuel 735 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,440 back. Fair. 736 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,760 I mean like as an experienced player come into the squad, I 737 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,320 mean on paper it looks a good signing, but it's just one of 738 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,720 these ones. You do really have to watch it 739 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:43,320 play out when the time comes. So yeah, it's not happened yet. 740 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,840 So watch the space on that one. Yeah. 741 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,440 And then obviously bad Celtic almost sold on then almost sell. 742 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,120 But RNA Angles bottom Forest tested the result for 25,000,000 743 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,720 bed when Celtic not back, which I mean, I guess the board don't 744 00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:03,160 want to be seen to sell and it was a board's decision around 745 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,160 and they don't be seen to sell on their best assets. 746 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,480 But that is an incredible fee for a guy that you could maybe 747 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,680 question whether. Yeah, exactly. 748 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,400 You bought them for 11,000,000 in August and yeah. 749 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,040 Yeah, so I mean, that's crazy, yeah, especially for the 750 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,080 Scottish parent league. I don't think apart from we're 751 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,520 just talking about beforehand guillotine for 25 now. 752 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,640 And I think maybe Calvin Bassey went for around a bit of 20 mark 753 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,560 and then you had Matt Riley 30. The big numbers like this don't 754 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,360 appear every too often, you know. 755 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,680 So it's it's you know, fair plated thumb first time that 756 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,800 down question, you know, whether or not that was the best 757 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,040 decision in just we're going to try and get freeze last ones as 758 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,800 quick as possible. Rangers the the bad guys coming 759 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,680 in where Ryan Nadre for 5.5 million euros. 760 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:57,680 They also had Todd romance from Westerlo and is a torchy Chewani 761 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,840 from Stringgraz. I hate getting names wrong, but 762 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,680 yeah. In fact, Romans and Chikwani 763 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,960 were announced with Andres Scoff Olson. 764 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,840 He came on more from Wolfsburg. They sort of. 765 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,040 Did that's a master fan? Triple is just lone, but yeah, 766 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,000 back player, experienced international with Denmark as 767 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,480 well. So I mean, Rangers doing well to 768 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,040 sort of recruit there because I mean, they're all in. 769 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,560 As I said before, I actually felt between Celtic and Rangers 770 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,880 and you're going to hit me for this nail. 771 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,080 I felt Rangers were the ones showing more promise of catching 772 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,880 Hearts. Oh, not even close. 773 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,880 Yeah, I mean, well, they're on the same points, but you know, 774 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,680 in terms like what we're seeing, Rangers just seem to be doing a 775 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160 lot the loot Canmore convinced on the path. 776 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,800 I think the fans are sort of on a better place, whereas, you 777 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,160 know, said they're, you know, loggerheads fans, boards, 778 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,280 managers trying to bring in players and he's joking about in 779 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,080 press conference but not getting signings. 780 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,720 Meanwhile, Rangers are mechanical those deals done 781 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,000 earlier apart from the Ryan and the daily 1. 782 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,800 So, yeah, I mean, so we can. So we can not too bad. 783 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,560 I mean, obviously, yeah. Scott Scott Olson's a massive 784 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,400 sign and I'm not too familiar with the with other ones, but 785 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,520 after some digging they look decent signings. 786 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,560 Obviously you'll have to wait the. 787 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,600 Took took when he is, it usually got a red card against Celtic a 788 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,560 season for still that's an ego power. 789 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,360 Yeah, they'll sent off, sent off at Celtic Park. 790 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,760 So there's a there's a start for you. 791 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:28,960 So he's already loved the Rangers, I'm sure. 792 00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:30,920 Pretty much. He's probably already seen them. 793 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,920 Yeah, I mean, I mean, big money spent really well, not for 794 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,400 Rangers, but decently sized figures for for those three. 795 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,280 And then Scovels and we mentioned previously big 796 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,920 players. I wouldn't say Rangers have been 797 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,280 thrown about that sort of money recently. 798 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,680 So yeah, exactly. Or like, you know, I mean, I 799 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,880 think when you look at not enables the guys, they're not I 800 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,480 mean they're not I don't you know, the rain and the address 801 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,040 on the younger side. I mean, it's good. 802 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,720 I mean Rangers problems been if not been invested in the right 803 00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,640 way and guys are going to retain value or increase and this is a 804 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,600 bit more shrewd business from them. 805 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,920 If you could call our. Back fees for players and wages 806 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,200 who age we didn't really on the side. 807 00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,680 Exactly. Yeah, But Celtic, we're always 808 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,360 good at that. And it almost seems like that's 809 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,640 sort of flipped in the last year or so. 810 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,840 Just OK. Well, Ralph, through HEBS, I 811 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,760 mean like you said, they had own Elding from Sliegel Rovers, the 812 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,880 19 year old who got twelve goals and four assists last season in 813 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,800 their league. They brought men for 400K, so it 814 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,160 doesn't look too bad that business. 815 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:40,800 They got Ante Suto from Slavin Balupo striker on our striker, 816 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,760 so really doing. I mean they lost, they sent out 817 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,320 collegial known, they've brought on these two strikers here. 818 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,600 They spent €550,000 on him. You had four goals and five 819 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,400 assessed in the creation top fight this season. 820 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,600 Pass lack came in from Bochum, former Prussia Dortmund boy feel 821 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,440 back. And then like you mentioned 822 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:06,160 there, I found a couple of loonies and Gran Garan gar from 823 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,480 Copenhagen maybe butchered that one again, sorry. 824 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,320 And then Kai Andrews and scarlet from spars yeah, I mean, I did 825 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,240 actually reach out to a spars fan I know. 826 00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:18,360 And the I mean, they seemed pretty happy, but I mean, 827 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,840 obviously they feel like they've sort of earlier part of the 828 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:27,160 season could have gone better. The are touching distance from 829 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,800 Motherwell to be really have aspirations on catching them. 830 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,200 And you know, I think she should actually they lost Junior Hoiler 831 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,640 as well, which they've kind of they've lost guys there and they 832 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,560 have this do seem to do seem to recruit OK, especially bringing 833 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,440 in the strikers. And yeah, and they have sort of 834 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,840 reinforced at the back with it, you know, the center half and 835 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,760 past lack because they actually they've not scored too far off. 836 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,880 I think they're pretty someone in terms of goal scored to 837 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,080 Motherwell, but where they've not matched them as goals 838 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,400 conceded, they've got some like 10 more goals conceded. 839 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,720 And that really is the seven point gap right there. 840 00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:05,520 It's the goals of land. So the dumbbell to recruit 841 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,160 helps. Fans have spoke to seem happy 842 00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:09,280 with that. So yeah. 843 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,040 Coming up to your team fan Aberdeen. 844 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,920 Tom McIntosh came in on a free transfer from Portsmouth. 845 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,800 He was a guy that was getting tapped for a Scotland Co-op and 846 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,160 not to in the recent past. So yeah, not too bad. 847 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,120 Yeah, for one. 21 International did very well. 848 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,160 I have to see. I think that's just one that 849 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,120 wait and see see how he does. Yeah. 850 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,280 And then yeah, Liam Morrison was another looney, a guy that I've 851 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,520 kind of been tapping for Scotland call, but he seems to 852 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:39,480 on a favorite QPR but alone Aberdeen, you know, for the kick 853 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,120 on and the second-half of the season and really get their game 854 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,520 together. He's potentially up, you know, a 855 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,000 spot in the Scotland World Cup squad. 856 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,280 So I think that I think he maybe I just spoke about that and his 857 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,480 ambitions. I'm not sure. 858 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,560 Yeah, he did. I think obviously him being at 859 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,760 Bayern Munich before there was such high hopes for him, Yeah, I 860 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,400 think he does have the potential. 861 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:06,360 Again, not seen too much of them still being down in England. 862 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,760 Yeah, still young. So him and Lyle Cameron, I think 863 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,520 both have come with the with the World Cup in the back of their 864 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,880 mind trying to get as much game time while Cameron is barely 865 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,520 getting any Rangers. And they kind of see Aberdeen as 866 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,360 as an opportunity to to show off what they can do to Steve Clark 867 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,080 if he's if he's watching. Yeah. 868 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,960 And then you said to me, the sort of biggest one you're 869 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:32,600 excited about was Dennis Geiger on loan or Geiger from on loan 870 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,920 from Hoffenheim? Yeah, I think he could be a 871 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,360 really good one. He's got Bundesliga experience. 872 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,640 I think we only got him because of Lutz Fansteel, our sporting 873 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,200 director. Obviously he's got ties to 874 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,200 Bundesliga and I think he could be a really good one. 875 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,120 He played at Hoffenheim, played against, you know, top players 876 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,720 like Lauren Verts. So hopefully, fingers crossed he 877 00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:57,000 can come in and screw and stroll it. 878 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,040 Obviously we lost a few players. Leighton Clarkson is is the main 879 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,680 one for me. Dante, Paul VAR as well to to 880 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,160 Louis and the MLS. But yeah, Leighton Clarkson, 881 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,160 he'll go down as as an Aberdeen legend probably because of how 882 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,840 few times we've won the Scottish Cup and he was in that squad. 883 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,360 So both of them will be remembered fondly. 884 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,280 Yeah, I think we've had a decent window. 885 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,720 Not too shabby, but I'm not that hopeful for the second-half of 886 00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:28,200 the team, I'll be honest. I mean, you look at the Aberdeen 887 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,320 team though, you say there's a plant, you know there's a good 888 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,880 base here, you know they've got guys they've brought in there, 889 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,280 seem to recruit, not too bad. Then you did you watch the 890 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,840 Kilmarnock game to. Me. 891 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,880 Yeah, Dad. Well, I didn't buy like I saw 892 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,720 the score, but yeah, what I'm saying is the bar is pretty low. 893 00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:47,240 We like Aberdeen in terms of improving, not I mean like. 894 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,920 I mean, I think we just keep getting further into the whole 895 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,040 though. I mean, as you say, as you say, 896 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,640 on paper, our squad is brilliant. 897 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,120 It should be in the top six. It should be probably where Hibs 898 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:01,400 are, but that's not happened. Oh, she's recalled from from 899 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,160 loan and he's had a permanent transfer elsewhere. 900 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,160 And yes, per Carlson also recalled from his loan back at 901 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,480 Lania So. These are guys that weren't 902 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,640 doing anything in the first half in the season, so. 903 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,880 I know, but it's. On big grade, use Israel. 904 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,720 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think just with 905 00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:24,320 no permanent manager, the way that we're playing, I don't have 906 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,200 high hopes. We'll see if I'm proven wrong. 907 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,360 I'd love to be proven wrong. Maybe we can retain our Scottish 908 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,200 Cup or something like that, but I'm not, I thought. 909 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,600 That would be something you can always hope. 910 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,360 Underwear. We're just touching them. 911 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,440 Obviously we can be read not together in their league 912 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,000 position. They've brought on a striker 913 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,400 from the Swedish league mayor. They got him on a three years 914 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,160 Ethor Bjor golfson. So I don't know if that was sort 915 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,120 of done pre empt and a potential departure from Mashwanisi who's 916 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,680 been like he is. I was. 917 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,040 I mean we talked with Barry go on. 918 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,640 I mean he gets the sort of attention because he's Scottish. 919 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,640 I think arguably the most informed player in the country 920 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,920 is to under mass money she because of you mean seven goals 921 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,960 and it's like 6 games for club and country is crazy. 922 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,920 They did, you know, like you said, Scottish clubs seem to be 923 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,600 getting a bit of a backbone in terms of, you know, when teams 924 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,520 come and test the resolve lowball and they're standing the 925 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,600 ground and saying, you know, that's not how we value our 926 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,080 player. And you know, they're not really 927 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,440 recruit too much from that as much as you can see. 928 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,960 Motherwell fans can maybe correct me on that. 929 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,240 But you know, I think it. Was just. 930 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,160 Even Welsh, Yeah. But. 931 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:41,120 I think he's more of a probably going to be a backup because I 932 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,920 don't think a stomach stomach a lot. 933 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:46,760 Yeah. I. 934 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,360 Can never say I can. Never, yeah, I don't think he's 935 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,200 really been fighting. So I think that's more of a a 936 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,400 cover, but obviously last when you see that Morrow will kind of 937 00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,160 front free of like mass when you say Justin said is very 938 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,640 interesting. They all kind of see me switch 939 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,240 about and game. It's not like I'm having. 940 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:08,640 People, sorry, and having people like Elliot Watt behind them. 941 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,960 Yeah. They've really got a good base 942 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,640 and it's it's just testament that, you know, they've sold 943 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,280 arguably one of their best players, Lennon Miller and they 944 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,640 still to be honest. Imagine. 945 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,520 Imagine where they could have been. 946 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,000 Yeah, you. Know, I know. 947 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,000 I mean, I mean, and it's good to see machine system as well 948 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,800 because this one says that Zimbabweans love affair they've 949 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,360 got for Motherwell. Yeah. 950 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,880 And this tweet, he said if I obey Shava, this guy on Twitter, 951 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,160 I got several thousand likes. He said I speak for every 952 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,040 Zimbabwe. And when I say we are now all 953 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,800 fans of Motherwell, we identify. We identify with your whole 954 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,640 wellhood, be it Motherwell, Fatherwell, Brotherwell, sister. 955 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,680 I'm by mash when you say, fine by mash when you say and that's 956 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,000 why that is brilliant. That's just these funny sort of 957 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,960 things that crop up in Scottish football. 958 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,880 Only Scottish football and only Scottish football, yeah, for 959 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,200 Motherwell it was getting flooded with Zimbabwe and stuff 960 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,320 and I think with Hearts it was Kazakhstani stuff. 961 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,280 I think every single post they do now it's like play, play 962 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:18,640 chestnut golf, play chestnut golf. 963 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,400 And in one of the the posts it was Derek McInnes in a pre match 964 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,680 press conference and all the comments were saying speak 965 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,560 Kazakh. So that's it. 966 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,080 That's it. Go. 967 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,360 Get a dual language. Yeah, they need to get a dual 968 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,880 angle translator. And honestly, love for Derek to 969 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,160 just give it a go and do anything in Kazakh. 970 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,320 That'd be class. But no, yeah, these are the nice 971 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,440 things that kind of are Scottish football. 972 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,960 It's it's the soul of it. Yeah. 973 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,880 Motherwell in a good position. Not many signings, but I don't 974 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,760 think they need many. Yeah. 975 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,360 Lace you said that airline about something else, but don't don't 976 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:02,000 fix if it's not broke and Motherwell under Jan Jan asker 977 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,360 doing absolutely amazing things and to fair long may that 978 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,840 continue because the league table is very fun to look at. 979 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,320 You know, there's a lot going on a lot of competition. 980 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,320 Like, I'm just so buzzing to see how it pans out in the 981 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,600 second-half of the season. I obviously think model where 982 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,000 we've got an eye on Satan. Because we're not. 983 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,480 Because why not? Why? 984 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,880 Because Celtic and Rangers are closer and moderable than the 985 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,520 Hearts. Yeah, I'll tell you what, what 986 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,920 you would have got in the bookies for Hearts first, 987 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,240 Motherwell second. At the start of the season I 988 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,680 could have retired with a 1 LB coupon. 989 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,640 No Europe for one of Celtic and Rangers, unless they won the cup 990 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,920 that would be. Oh, no. 991 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:44,440 But yeah, I think a couple other notable signings. 992 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,760 Scott Wright signing for Dundee. What do you think of him being 993 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,240 back in Scotland? Saying spear with Dundee Zell 994 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:59,040 2018 nineteen well a player that was probably about a touchy 995 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,320 subject to you for a. Yeah, I'm not even. 996 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,760 Always divided opinion a lot at Rangers. 997 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,720 I think it was more leaning towards a the more that this 998 00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:14,920 guy's probably not good enough, but at the end of the day, Scott 999 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,800 Wright started more Europa League finals and Lionel Messi, 1000 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,960 so now you go. That's a start. 1001 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,480 Lovely. I think, yeah, Ross Kennedy also 1002 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,680 kind of got their their chequebooks out because of how 1003 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,280 badly they're doing this thing. Again. 1004 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,800 Yeah, again. Do you feel that you've got a 1005 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,320 few off the wage bill? Yeah, a few off. 1006 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,840 The wage but but they replaced them with Itchak Piazza and Liam 1007 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,960 Polworth. I believe that went over the 1008 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,120 line. Former Inverness man, I'm sure 1009 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,920 that will go well. Yeah, in parts of the Highlands. 1010 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,880 So yeah, quite surprised in that one. 1011 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,120 Obviously he did quite a infamous celebration towards 1012 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:56,080 county fans at one point as well. 1013 00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:59,160 So yeah, good signings for them. Yeah. 1014 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,880 And, and and Livingston also made quite an important signing, 1015 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,680 not in the form of a player, but instead a manager. 1016 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,760 Marvin Barley, who I believe was assistant before, stepped up. 1017 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,240 Yeah, he's now the the, you know, head lead manager, 1018 00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:15,520 whatever you want to call it with Martindale's kind of it 1019 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,360 said stepping up. Yeah, it's foreign. 1020 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,240 Director. They framed it as him. 1021 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,960 Yeah, it framed. They framed it as him stepping 1022 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,080 up. But I think it is a bit of a 1023 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:28,040 step back overseeing the club operations more than the the the 1024 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,240 team itself, because I think I saw a stat that was it was a 24 1025 00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:34,360 game run without a win, which is. 1026 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,280 Yeah, not one since August. Incredibly. 1027 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,880 Bad, Yeah. It's just obviously it kind of 1028 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,520 go on, but you kind of do look at and go. 1029 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,440 Tartandale has become part of the identity of Livingston over 1030 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,320 the last couple of years. Yeah, I'm a very. 1031 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,800 There's a gratitude that a hard team, they work hard. 1032 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,440 You know Eagles right through them. 1033 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:53,240 You know. You've heard. 1034 00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:54,680 That sometimes a question though. 1035 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:55,200 You know what? I. 1036 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,440 Mean you've you've seen the same tech talk. 1037 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:05,200 I have no, but like you know he has he has been synonymous with 1038 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,640 Livingston success. You know, the way he's played, 1039 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,240 he's got the most at a small budget. 1040 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,480 I've got them doing things, you know, in the league, getting to 1041 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,600 the Premier League, things like that. 1042 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:19,280 And I do think there's a slight risk and bringing them badly, 1043 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,320 you know, in terms of his experience. 1044 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,960 I think his last role was cleaning the South. 1045 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,760 So I'll be I mean it. Can't get worse than this 1046 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,440 though, can it? Can, but yeah, it just, I'll 1047 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:30,880 despair. It's just one of these ones that 1048 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,040 kind of surprised us. It came out of nowhere in terms 1049 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,320 of the news cycle. But yeah, I think I think we 1050 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,440 have covered everything boys good hours or for less than 1051 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,280 there.
