1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Serie A Spotlight.

2
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,880
This is episode 86 or our first episode of season 3.

3
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,880
We are hosts Matt and Jake, good to be back after quite a long layoff from our end bro.

4
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,560
Yes we've been struggling with the lack of football, these pre-season friendlies aren't

5
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,000
quite fun to watch.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,520
The USA ones have been alright so far, the Milan Real game actually felt like a real

7
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,520
football game.

8
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,520
It was competitive, no?

9
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,520
It was very competitive and nice to see Milan holding their own over there and everything

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,020
promising.

11
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:56,360
Now on Thursday there is Milan against Juventus as well.

12
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,360
Yes.

13
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,160
That's tomorrow morning at 2 o'clock in the morning or 4 o'clock in the morning?

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,160
I'm not quite sure.

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,280
I'll have to watch it later because I ain't about that life.

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,760
I'm not about that life either.

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,400
The 5am club is not for me.

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,560
Today we're going to be talking about transfers guys.

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,760
We're going to be covering every single transfer that has been done so far.

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:26,560
Juventus, Wednesday the 26th of July 2023 currently, all the way from Napoli down to

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,960
the newly promoted teams in Frosignano, Gianna and Calieri.

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,880
We're going to be talking about the changes that they've gone through, be it managerial

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,560
or be it on the pitch.

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Whilst you guys are probably really excited for this episode with the lack of football,

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,040
the lack of content out at the moment, these are the episodes that as podcast is, I'm

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:53,080
afraid I'm less excited for because simply we recorded today and by tomorrow inter would

27
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,360
sign the fucking Messi.

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,080
So it becomes outdated pretty quick.

29
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440
You see a headline, ke kol po.

30
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,760
Lukaku of the Juventus.

31
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,740
Last season we finished recording an entire episode, an entire episode, only to hit the

32
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:12,960
stop button and find out that the balla joined Roma.

33
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400
We didn't even address it as a rumor.

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,160
That would have been the headline.

35
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Literally.

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,760
But I think we got everything rumour-wise so unless someone's moving in silence.

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Exactly.

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Like lasagna.

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,760
There we go.

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,760
We'll see.

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Guys, this is our last call for those of you who want to join our Fanta Cultural League,

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,720
the fantasy football league, the SEA spotlight, official Fanta Cultural League.

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
You would have to subscribe to our Patreon to do so.

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,200
It's G99 per month.

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,360
We'll be added to our WhatsApp chat, which is quite active.

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,440
There are lots of banter and lots of news going on there and updates.

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600
You'll get access to our question segment as well so you can ask questions for us to

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,160
discuss at the end of the podcast.

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,960
And you'll be in our fantasy league, which we will be posting weekly about on Instagram

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,960
as well, reposing the table.

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,120
It's the official league, right?

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,720
We'll be talking about it quite in depth.

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Exactly.

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560
And I mean, we have a good time on Fantacalcio.

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,480
And we're a really good group on the group chat.

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,480
There's a lot of banter.

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,400
There's a lot of ball knowledge as well, something I'm very pleased about.

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160
The way we work with Fantacalcio is we do it via drafts.

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:23,640
So there will be an online call either on Zoom, Skype, whatever you Gen Zers are using

60
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,680
at the moment.

61
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,160
And yet it should be bags of fun, man.

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Yeah, we'll do two auctions per year.

63
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,920
There's the winter market and the pre-season market.

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,920
Exactly.

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,400
Do not forget to follow and rate.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Guys rating us helps a lot with the algorithm, drop us a five star rating if you really love

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,480
us.

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,480
We really love you.

69
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,480
So please do so.

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Yeah, and you shout out to us on Instagram.

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Say hello, of course.

72
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,480
We're very friendly.

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Exactly.

74
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,480
We're the best guys.

75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,480
But anyway, as Jake said, what we'll be doing is starting from Napoli, going down all the

76
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,440
way to Frozignone, Genoa and Calieri and discussing what acquisitions have been made, the players

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,480
that are leaving and obviously some rumors, some political movement, so on and so forth.

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,680
So without further ado, I think we could start off with one of the lesser active teams and

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,200
those are the champions in Napoli.

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
What have they done so far, bro?

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Absolutely fucking nothing.

82
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,000
So they have a new sporting director called Mauro Meluso as Cristiano Juntolly went to

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Juventus.

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Now, Cristiano Juntolly is the man who discovered the likes of Kim and Ozzy Menon for a scale.

85
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:36,320
He's a great, great, great sporting director and he will be working closely with Juvenal.

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,920
The man in his stead is Mauro Meluso.

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,920
Okay.

88
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,160
And he hasn't had much to do so far.

89
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,120
The only activity they've done is selling Kim Mingjai to Bayern Munich for 50 million,

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,840
which is a very good deal, in my opinion, for one season.

91
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,560
You never knew if he was going to repeat it or not.

92
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,560
Exactly.

93
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,560
50 million for a guy at his age.

94
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,560
Why not?

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Not that he's old, but he's in his prime.

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Yeah, he had a 50 million season.

97
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,520
Apparently, Harry Maguire had an 80 million season.

98
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,520
Yeah, exactly.

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440
You literally never know.

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,440
It's good money.

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,440
It's good money.

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,840
They've bought Elia Caprila, the goalkeeper from Barri, but they've sent him on loan

103
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:12,840
to Ampoly.

104
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,360
He might be their starting keeper over there instead of Vecario.

105
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,880
He played for Barri last season.

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,160
He played every single game and almost got promoted to say, yeah, if it weren't for that

107
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,480
play of final loss at the very last minute, second, very last second.

108
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,480
Yeah, very good.

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Yeah, very good play of tournament.

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480
He was good.

111
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,920
I remember you commenting about him specifically while he was playing.

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Yes, when it comes to rumors, apparently they're very close to Lenz's Kevin Danso,

113
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,640
who's a centre back, but they also appreciate the likes of Mav Ropanios from Stuttgart.

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,000
He's obviously Greek with that name and Kilman from Wolves.

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Verona's Faroni is another player that they've been looking at.

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,120
They're considering Bernadeschi, who wants to return to European football.

117
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,200
And they have also considered the likes of Maxim Lopez of Saswolo.

118
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,200
Very good talent.

119
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Very good talent.

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,400
And I think many teams in Italy could use the services.

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Yeah, it'd be a direct advice for Lobotka.

122
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,520
And well, to be honest, they need advice for Lobotka.

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Of course, with Benacer out injured, it might be a good coup for Milan as well, right now,

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,640
a cheap, low cost solution.

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,200
But he's also attracting lots of attention abroad as well.

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,520
He actually worked with Rudy Garcia, the new manager.

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,520
Has he?

128
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Yes.

129
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,520
At Marseille.

130
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Oh, okay.

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Yeah.

132
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,520
Okay.

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Yes, we forgot to mention, of course, Spalletti is no longer the manager of Rudy Garcia as

134
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,960
in charge.

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,960
He plays a similar system.

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,400
We'll use the same lineup, same formation, same style.

137
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Yeah, we'll see what they do to replace that centre back as well.

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:55,080
I think with the exception of obviously Spalletti and Kim Min Jae, what we're seeing is continuity

139
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:01,440
here from Annapolis, I that absolutely demolished everyone and their dog last season, apart

140
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,080
from Milan.

141
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,160
But I think that's important.

142
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Now, why is it important to shake things up?

143
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,400
You have to look at the dominant side of Napoli and say, not many changes need to be made

144
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,400
over there.

145
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,760
Yeah, honestly, no, they ran away with the league, right?

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,040
And they did quite well in the Champions League as well.

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Do not sleep on them simply because they had a quiet Mercato because they might very much

148
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,160
come in as favourites this season.

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,960
For sure, Zelinski is rumoured to be moving to Lazio or Saudi Arabia, while Lozano is

150
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,240
also rumoured to be moving to Saudi Arabia.

151
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Zanoli, their deputy right back for Di Lorenzo, will probably go out on loan again, but it's

152
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,960
unsure as to who he will join.

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,520
He performed very, very well at Sampdoria last season and I think, well, if the managers

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,560
and the sporting directors have half a brain cell, they would realise that he did have

155
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,240
a very good campaign at Sampdoria and even his contributions as a right back were very,

156
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,560
very good, especially in the latter parts of the season.

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Very energetic player, lively, bombs forward.

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Absolutely.

159
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,000
That's pretty much it for Napoli.

160
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
We can insert the John Travolta meme over here where he's looking around from the podfiction,

161
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,800
you know the words, because absolutely no one new has joined the club so far.

162
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,800
No, not at all, but this is still the same team with Gvarrackel, yeah, it's still the

163
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,120
same team with Ossimen, so all they need to worry about right now is just getting a few

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,120
deputies in to give them that good rotation that they have.

165
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,840
They still have the likes of Raspadori on the bench, they still have Simeone on the

166
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,400
bench, they still have Politan on the right, they still have all these guys, so I don't

167
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,320
think there's too much to worry about.

168
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,320
And not to mention, there's still a month to go of the Mercato.

169
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,320
Exactly.

170
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,320
So, yeah.

171
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,520
Lazio, shall we move on to Lazio, bro, up to you.

172
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,800
We shall move on to Lazio so far.

173
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,480
What they have done is probably the biggest piece of news regarding Lazio, is that their

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:01,440
star player Sergei Milinkovic-Sovic is off to Saudi Arabia, yes, Lazio have accepted

175
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:08,680
a 40 million offer from Al-Hilal, which is double of what he was going for had he gone

176
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:15,520
to a Serie A team, there were 20 million bids, 25 million asking prices for him.

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:21,160
A shame to see him leave Europe so early, the guy is 27 or 28 years old, if I'm not

178
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,640
mistaken, a big, big, big loss for Lazio over there.

179
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,280
He was everything for them in that midfield, especially his eye for goal, his size, his

180
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:38,800
technique, he's an irreplaceable talent, there are few players like him in that role.

181
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,280
So that would be a massive loss, however, a good 40 million to make over there, especially

182
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,880
when he just had one year left on his contract.

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaking of players that left the club on a free, young Luca Romero, the right winger,

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,320
you might notice him from all of these videos of him representing the under 18s of Argentina

185
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,240
back in the day, scoring some absolute worldies, he made a few features here and there last

186
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,840
season, he just scored a fantastic goal for Milan against Real Madrid in a preseason friendly

187
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,040
in the US, where you obviously heard from our goal of the week in our intro.

188
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Goal of the preseason.

189
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Goal of the preseason.

190
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,200
A bit funny to see him leave on a free because he's such a bright talent, but a brilliant

191
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,680
acquisition for Milan and quite a loss for Lazio, I would say they had two significant

192
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:30,080
losses over here.

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Yeah, I totally agree, Luca Romero, and don't just look at his long range shooting and his

194
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,640
trickiness, you know, that's not even the best part of his game.

195
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,120
It's his footballing mind.

196
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Absolutely.

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,000
He has very good footballing IQ and he's very mature for his age and he's very selfless

198
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
in his play.

199
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,240
He knows how to link up with teammates.

200
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,720
He knows when to pass and then he knows when he needs to turn, take on a man and shoot

201
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,720
from his knees.

202
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,720
Exactly.

203
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,720
He's very small.

204
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,720
He fits into the, into tight spaces really well, great close ball control as well.

205
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,600
Very similar play style to Messi.

206
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,800
There I say, nowhere near, nowhere near the quality naturally, but he does have a very,

207
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,680
very bright, bright future ahead of him.

208
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:19,040
Now, speaking of players that Lazio brought in so far, Tati Castellanias is the player

209
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,000
they brought in from the MLS from the New York Cosmos for 15 million, a 24 year old

210
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
striker.

211
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,520
He actually has quite a solid record.

212
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:38,120
He's got 50 goals and 20 assists in 106 MLS matches and also 13 goals and one assist in

213
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920
35 matches in La Liga with Girona.

214
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:48,440
Now, 13 goals in La Liga with a club like Girona, along with one assist is quite a good

215
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,720
record and he is known for his finishing.

216
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,200
He's known for his hold up play and his versatility as well.

217
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,240
The guy can play in quite a few positions in that attacking front.

218
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,960
A good vice for Ciro Mopile who has struggled with injuries.

219
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,960
Definitely.

220
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,360
Mopile is obviously very difficult to displace, but he has struggled with injuries as you

221
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,360
said and consistency.

222
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,800
So we might be seeing a lot of this Tati Castellanias game next season.

223
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,720
The last bomber that Lazio bought who scored wherever he was because in reality you can

224
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,200
only score where you're at.

225
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,400
So if you say, oh, he's only scored in the MLS, he's only scored in this league, whatever,

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,200
you can only score where you are.

227
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,760
The last striker they brought in was Muri.

228
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,400
Oh my God.

229
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,800
And he absolutely flopped.

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,480
So let's hope that this one goes better.

231
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Absolutely.

232
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,320
And of course, once Zelinski has discussed, but they are also rumored to be signing Gabriel

233
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Ibrahim Assau for 15 a million from Frankfurt.

234
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,360
This guy is a medzala and can also play as a register.

235
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,280
He got four goals in 32 games last year.

236
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,600
They also like Richie from Torino, but the Roscoe price is 30 million.

237
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,880
In Mobile, I should renew there was some drama going on with him potentially going to Saudi

238
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,880
as well.

239
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Yes.

240
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,880
The Saudi invasion is real.

241
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,880
It is.

242
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,000
It really, really is.

243
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,720
They also appreciate the talent of Kalem Khatzin Odoi.

244
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,720
Okay.

245
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Okay.

246
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Interesting one there.

247
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,800
I really wanted them to get Zaha.

248
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,800
They looked like they wanted.

249
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,800
They did.

250
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,120
They did look like they were going to sign Zaha.

251
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Zaha is a natural left winger and they have Zakani over there, but he's quite versatile.

252
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,480
You could see him on the right, which was probably where he was going to end up playing

253
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,480
for them.

254
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,080
Again, not too much activity here for Lazio.

255
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,880
I do anticipate that they will be spending that 40 million that they got in for Sergey

256
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,040
Milinkovich-Savich, especially.

257
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:42,680
Sarri has made it clear that he would like to invest and strengthen the side, especially

258
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:46,160
that significant loss of Sergey Milinkovich-Savich.

259
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,280
That is, they are in need of a replacement in that area.

260
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,960
Anything to see what's going to happen with a player like Luis Alberto, who has flirted

261
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,560
with a move away from Lazio for the past two seasons.

262
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:02,720
I do believe there's a lot of movement left for Lazio in this Mercato.

263
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,000
A very famous Luis Alberto quote was when they asked him about the new team Plain.

264
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
They asked him, what do you think of the new Lazio Plain?

265
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,600
I was like, it's very nice.

266
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
It's a shame they can't pay our salaries.

267
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Jesus Christ.

268
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,600
Immediately on the attack.

269
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,760
All right, man, I just asked you a question.

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,160
Who are you angry with, bro?

271
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600
Moving on to a very active team.

272
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Yes, Inter.

273
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Yes, Inter have, of course, let's start with who they've lost so far.

274
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,560
Yes, a long list over here, guys.

275
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:42,320
So Edin Zekko has gone to Fenerbahce on a free Lorenzo Pirolla, has joined Salernitano

276
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,880
for five million, Brozovic has gone to Al Nasir for 18 million, Milan's Sprinja has

277
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,640
gone to PSG for three, Roberto Galliardini has gone to Monza for three, Samuel Mollattieri,

278
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,400
the young striker has gone to Suswala for six million, Dorian Malis has gone to Young

279
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Boys for two million.

280
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Who the fuck?

281
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:06,640
Andrea Onaana has gone to Manchester United for 52.5 million, while Facundo Colidio has

282
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:12,000
gone to Liverpool for 4.5 million and Valentin Carboni has officially joined.

283
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Monza.

284
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,360
Now, when it comes to players leaving, bro, they've made quite a bit of money, but big

285
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,960
profiles leaving here.

286
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Big profiles, I mean, you've got the metronome in Brozovic, sure they have.

287
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,120
The biggest miss of all of them.

288
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Absolutely, I would agree with you over there.

289
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,040
Now, obviously, they do have a player like Cialan Oglo that is versatile, that can fit

290
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,600
that role, but he doesn't bring that calm nature that Brozovic gets where, you know,

291
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,160
if a player is struggling and is in a tight position, just pass it to Brozovic and he

292
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,240
can switch up play and he can calm the tempo and control the tempo.

293
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,600
So massive loss for them over there.

294
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Onaana and Andanovich are obviously their two goalkeepers.

295
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,320
And Rado as well, they go to Liverpool.

296
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,680
And Rado, so they do need to invest over there.

297
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,760
And also their squad is looking quite thin at the moment, which isn't something we're

298
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,200
used to with Inter.

299
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280
So they do need to get more active.

300
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,000
The only thing is, yes, they've made good money.

301
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,520
18 million from Brozovic, 52 million for Onaana, 6 million for Molatieri, 5 million for Pirrola.

302
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,400
This is all good money, 4.5 million for Colidó.

303
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,080
They could invest it, right?

304
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,360
But it is no secret that they have struggled significantly when it comes to their finances

305
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,080
and when it comes to balancing the books.

306
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,720
So how much of that is going to be reinvested and how much of that is going to be damage

307
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,720
control?

308
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,640
It's also good to mention that obviously Lukaku is no longer part of the team.

309
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640
He was loaned in last season.

310
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,160
So very important to know that.

311
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,000
They were trying to buy him out, but then they discovered that Lukaku had been negotiating

312
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,040
with Juventus before the Champions League final was even played.

313
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,880
And that put him in the bad books of the Inter management who do not wish to be associated

314
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,880
with him anymore.

315
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Lukaku is the king of burning bridges.

316
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,240
Lukaku against the world.

317
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,640
What Inter have moved smart with their low cost moves they've brought in Juan Cuadrado

318
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280
from Juventus who is now 35 years old.

319
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,360
They've brought in Marcus Thuram from Monshin Gladbach on a free, which is a very good

320
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:18,360
signing.

321
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:19,360
He's only 25 years old.

322
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:20,360
He's versatile.

323
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:21,360
He can play left wing or striker.

324
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,360
Son of Lillian, obviously.

325
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:23,360
Son of Lillian.

326
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:28,040
Yes, he will be relied upon as a bummer to replace Lukaku.

327
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,160
Baloghan and Morata are still rumored of course, but this guy has 13 goals and 6 assists in

328
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,440
the 28 starts last season, so very exciting over there.

329
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,800
Davide Fratese was brought in on loan with obligation to buy for 27 million from Sasuolo.

330
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,400
We all know what he can do.

331
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:52,240
And Jan Orel Bissek was brought in from, dare I say, AGFR Hus for 7 million.

332
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,240
He's a center back.

333
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,240
He's 22 years old.

334
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,720
He's very physically strong.

335
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,600
He's good in the air.

336
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,600
His passing, his distribution and his pace are highlighted as his weak points.

337
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,320
He'll be good in a back three, however.

338
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,720
It does seem like he'll fit in his back three quite seamlessly.

339
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,720
I think so.

340
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,720
I think so.

341
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,720
He'll probably fit in like a glove.

342
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,040
Roma, fun fact about the Fratese deal, bro, they will make over 8 million from the Salon

343
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Clause.

344
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Really?

345
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Because Fratese was a Roma youth.

346
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Roma youth, no?

347
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Because he started with Lazio's primavera and then moved to Roma's primavera.

348
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,200
Then he went to Sasuolo and was loaned out to Ascoli, Empoli, Monza and eventually sold

349
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,200
to Inter.

350
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,600
He made the Serie A bird team of the season, fun fact with Monza, scoring eight goals in

351
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,600
37 games.

352
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Wow.

353
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,840
He's been pretty good in Serie A too.

354
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,720
I like the way he inserts himself, Fratese.

355
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,200
I like Fratese a lot, man.

356
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,880
He's a very intelligent player and he's quite unpredictable as well.

357
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,240
You see him bag a couple of goals.

358
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,560
He doesn't really get assists.

359
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,720
That's one thing that he doesn't have to his arsonists.

360
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,600
He didn't get a single assist last season, Fratese for Sasuolo.

361
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,960
But a very street smart player.

362
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,960
He's good in front of goal.

363
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,400
He gets, rather than him being good in front of goal, he finds himself in a lot of these

364
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,400
positions.

365
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,640
He's very, very smart with his positioning.

366
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Now it wouldn't be us talking about Inter's transfer market without mentioning the fact

367
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480
that they have gotten the double over Milan with two of these players.

368
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,040
It did seem like to Ram after rejecting PSG was very, very, very close to a move on a

369
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,240
free to AC Milan.

370
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,640
He was going to be Milan's starting potentially striker next year.

371
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,960
However, in one day and a half, everything turned upside down for Milan and Inter swooped

372
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:34,960
in.

373
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,480
He had been linked to Inter the summer before that.

374
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,200
And it just seems like ever since that link, that that is the club that he wanted.

375
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Davide Fratese was also linked with Milan to replace Tonali, obviously as a medzala,

376
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,360
as a box-to-box that is a player that fits that profile quite well.

377
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:58,680
However, Milan did think the asking price of 27 million for him was a little bit too

378
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,680
high.

379
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,920
And considering the acquisitions Milan have made, they've moved quite smart to kind of

380
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,800
overcome these two massive losses to Inter.

381
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,880
Yes, I definitely agree, bro.

382
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,800
So Inter's main concern right now to sum it all up is they need a goalkeeper because

383
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,960
they've gone on their preseason tour.

384
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,460
They need two goalkeepers.

385
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:18,440
They went on their preseason tour with Di Gennaro and goal.

386
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Di Gennaro played in Serie A.

387
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Di Gennaro, the restaurant in Milan, bro.

388
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,880
Fucking.

389
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,000
Yes, they were trying for Jan Summer, but Bayern want to find a replacement before they sell.

390
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,160
Now look at the difference between how these clubs are run.

391
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,760
Bayern Munich want to find a replacement before they let go of their second goalkeeper while

392
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Inter sold their first one without even thinking.

393
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,920
Money, bro.

394
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,920
Money.

395
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,920
They need the money.

396
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,760
Tonali is rumored to be joining Inter as a centre back.

397
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,720
Yes, Tonali from Atlanta.

398
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,440
Skamakan Morata are still being discussed for the striker position and someards, which

399
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,240
is also a profile who Inter appreciated.

400
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Someards, which of course plays with Udinese.

401
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Yes, a star player, a very, very bright future.

402
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,260
Absolutely.

403
00:21:03,260 --> 00:21:04,260
Moving on.

404
00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:11,760
Now we could do an entire episode on the transfer Mercato of AC Milan who finished fourth last

405
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,880
season with a stroke of luck, reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in the

406
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,200
beginning of the transfer market.

407
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:25,360
Well, rather after the last game of the season against Verona, the news broke out that Milan

408
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:32,800
and Maldini have parted ways after Jerry Cardinale gave him and Massara the boot for misusing

409
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:38,120
the funding that they had allocated to him, offering such high wages to a player like

410
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:44,240
Divock Origi, signing Decatelare, who was unproven for 35 million.

411
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,240
Dest.

412
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,240
Dest as well.

413
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,560
And then moments after that.

414
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,200
A couple of weeks after that, whilst I was out having a few drinks as well, Tonali, it

415
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,760
just suddenly from one day to the next Tonali was confirmed to be joining Newcastle United

416
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,920
for the fee of 64 million.

417
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,080
A player that bleeds red and black, a lifelong AC Milan fan.

418
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,520
It was absolutely devastating for Milan fans to lose a legend like Maldini, five Champions

419
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Leagues, an entire career at AC Milan, the pull factor he had was ridiculous.

420
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:25,720
And then Massara finding players and getting coups like Ben Nasser, like Leal, Caloulu,

421
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Theo Hernandez, Tonali, all of these coups.

422
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,800
And then suddenly they have parted ways.

423
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:39,280
However, Milan have moved very strategically with that 64 million that was made from Sandro

424
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,280
Tonali.

425
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:46,400
And before I get into that, they also parted ways with Marco Bresciannini, who went to

426
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,000
Frosinione and Matteo Gabbia, who has been loaned to Via Real and potentially that will

427
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,200
be made permanent.

428
00:22:54,200 --> 00:23:00,560
Now with the acquisitions in from that 64 million euro that they made of Sandro Tonali, Milan

429
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,920
have signed a vice goalkeeper for Mike Manian in Marco Sportiello from Atalanta on a free

430
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,480
31 year old Italian goalkeeper.

431
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:17,000
Ruben Loftus Csik, a central midfielder from Chelsea for 16 million, very versatile player,

432
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000
very technically gifted, known, however, to be quite injury prone.

433
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,160
Luca Romero as a right winger on a free from Lazio.

434
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,640
We've already covered him.

435
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:31,400
Christian Pulisic from Chelsea, another fantastic player, still young, 24 years old.

436
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,440
We all know how capable he is.

437
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,440
We all know that on his day, lockdown Pulisic can be one of the best players in the world.

438
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,760
However, he does struggle significantly with injuries.

439
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:50,240
Tiani Reinders from AZ at Alcmaar for 19 million, a medzala, very, very technically gifted,

440
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,320
good shooting, good passing, good tackling and absolute all rounder, a direct replacement

441
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,600
for Sandro Tonali.

442
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,320
He becomes one of the legendary Dutch players to join Milan.

443
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:08,240
Manuel Trucquese from VRL for 20 million plus 8 million in bonuses, right winger, very,

444
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,160
very quick, very skillful, a very exciting player to bring in.

445
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,960
This is a player that's worth 50 million, but only had one season left on his contract.

446
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Very, very exciting.

447
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,880
You know what excites me about Trucquese?

448
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:25,160
The fact that you have Lea on the left, whose biggest strength is his stride, right?

449
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,520
So he's good when he has space.

450
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,720
He'll knock the ball past his man and he'll beat him like that.

451
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Trucquese is the complete opposite.

452
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,520
Trucquese wants the ball as close to him as possible.

453
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,120
So there's two complete opposites on each flank and that's going to be super fun to

454
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:41,120
watch.

455
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:48,760
And in between them, another great signing for AC Milan, Noah Okafor from Red Bull Salzburg

456
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,400
for 14 million, 23 years old.

457
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,600
The guy can play as a winger.

458
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,800
He can play as a striker.

459
00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:00,200
He is known for ruining the career of now teammate Pierre Caloulu after he bagged a goal

460
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,040
for Milan after putting the ball through Caloulu's legs and then putting the ball through Mike

461
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,240
Manian's legs.

462
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,400
The guy looks very, very good.

463
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,640
The question is, is he going to be the starting striker?

464
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,800
Is he going to rotate with Giroux?

465
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,000
Is Trucquese going to start on the right wing or is it going to be Pulisic?

466
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Is Pulisic going to play as an attacking midfielder?

467
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,480
The options that Milan have to their arsenal for next season are absolutely crazy, bro.

468
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,480
What do you make of their Mercato so far?

469
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:32,160
So when it comes to the players brought in, they all have one thing in common and that

470
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,520
is clear talent.

471
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,520
Yes.

472
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,760
You don't have any of these guys can all play very well.

473
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,000
They're all high technique players.

474
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Absolutely.

475
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,400
Granted, the output isn't great.

476
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,480
For example, Noah Okafor, you look at Noah Okafor last games and last season in the Austrian

477
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,240
League, he played 21 games, he got seven goals and three assists.

478
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,240
Not crazy.

479
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,240
Not crazy.

480
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,360
He got three goals in six Champions League games, which is a very good sign because they're

481
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,360
not often the favorite.

482
00:25:58,360 --> 00:25:59,360
Exactly.

483
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:00,360
Exactly.

484
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:04,000
And against Milan, he was one of the liveliest players in both games.

485
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,160
Absolutely.

486
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:11,040
His best domestic season was in 2021 where he got nine goals and nine assists.

487
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,520
So once again, not a very productive striker, but a very talented striker.

488
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,760
He didn't always play striker for them as well.

489
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,240
He can play on the wing as well.

490
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,240
Yes.

491
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,240
That's a very good point.

492
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,920
You look at Chouquette as well, not the most productive last season.

493
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,920
He had 27 starts.

494
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,760
He got six goals and five assists.

495
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,920
Not crazy, but at least he brings a different dynamic to the team.

496
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:31,920
Exactly.

497
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,000
You look at, for example, Reinders, excuse my pronunciation.

498
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
How do you?

499
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Reinders?

500
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I say Reinders.

501
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Reinders.

502
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
He is super consistent.

503
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000
That's what's nice to see.

504
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,120
He played 34 games in the area of how do you pronounce it?

505
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,120
I don't know.

506
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:47,120
Airde Vizzi.

507
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,120
Airde Vizzi.

508
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:49,120
Airde Vizzi last season.

509
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,200
He got three goals and eight assists.

510
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,960
He also got two assists in the conference league.

511
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,480
So that's a player at least who doesn't really suffer from injuries.

512
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,840
He is always there.

513
00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,840
Yeah.

514
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,960
I think he's going to be fantastic for Milan in midfield.

515
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,320
I think the players that were signed, obviously you're talking about the output that they

516
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,040
had and so on and so forth.

517
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,760
I think systematically they all fit the mold very, very well.

518
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,120
You look at a player like Noah Okofor, for example.

519
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,160
I watched a video breaking down his style of play and the majority of work that he does

520
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,880
is off the ball when it comes to the press.

521
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,480
And that really helps with a purely system that is very offensive, a purely system that

522
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,720
doesn't let the other team breathe plays with the Gaghan press.

523
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,240
And he is going to be a fantastic player off the ball with their Milan.

524
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,880
Neither goal or whether Milan wants to salvage a point, for example, he's going to be key

525
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,880
for them.

526
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,880
Yes.

527
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,640
In a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 such as Milan play, there's going to be a new dynamic now because

528
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Giroud, God bless him, I love him, but he can't press as intensely as a younger profile

529
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,840
can.

530
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,840
Yeah.

531
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,120
And this guy is going to give Milan a new dynamic.

532
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,920
I'm also very happy with Marco Sportiello as a second goalkeeper.

533
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,720
He can move so out of Atalanta last season.

534
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000
Last eight games of the season, it was Sportiello.

535
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,720
He has 199 say appearances that is always good to have on your bench as well.

536
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,360
Loftus-Chriek, we'll see.

537
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,240
And Luca Romero, of course, exciting young talent.

538
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:24,680
Now there has actually been a rule change that has benefited Milan.

539
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:34,120
So Swiss nationals prior to this rule being implemented were already accepted as EU nationals,

540
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,120
so they didn't take up non-EU slots.

541
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,000
The same thing has been introduced for English players.

542
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,120
So Ruben Loftus-Chriek no longer takes up a non-EU spot for Milan, and therefore, Ciccuezza

543
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,120
was not the last one.

544
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,720
So that means Milan can now move for Camada, who they were after, and who had actually been

545
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,720
waiting for Milan.

546
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Yes, probably still is waiting for Milan.

547
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,320
Probably still is, bro.

548
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,320
I love the guy.

549
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,320
So sweet, he's waiting.

550
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:03,600
Tarami of Porto, the very intelligent striker who moves very well off the ball and is very

551
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,600
opportunistic.

552
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,280
30-year-old Israeli whose numbers are ridiculous, his scores wherever he goes.

553
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,640
He's a bomber, he's a 20-goal season striker.

554
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,320
And then you have Boulayedia, who I personally, that's my favorite person, I really hope it

555
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,320
happens.

556
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Yeah.

557
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,320
We'll see.

558
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Yeah.

559
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Milan also wants a deputy left back for Teo, and they're considering Califiori of Basel

560
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,800
or Rogerio of Sa'Sualo or Rogerio of Atalanta.

561
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,840
Personally, I don't think the Rogerio shout is too bad, I'm not a big fan of him and of

562
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,440
Sa'Sualo defenders in general, but as a vice, Teo is quite reliable.

563
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,200
He doesn't miss many games.

564
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,320
He doesn't excite me the same way that Balotoura doesn't excite me.

565
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,440
I think there's a similar level over there.

566
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,640
I don't think it's an upgrade, but when you have a player like Teo Hernandez who can

567
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:58,760
play 38-39 matches a season unless he gets a red card every now and then or an accumulation

568
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,600
of yellow cards, it is what it is.

569
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,440
Rogerio isn't going to destroy the entire team, but he wouldn't be the ideal choice.

570
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:14,360
It's more, so Milan still have, apparently after the most recent signing of Troquese,

571
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,040
it has been made clear by Jerry Cardinal that there are around five more signings to be

572
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,320
made, the left back being one of them.

573
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,640
Two midfielders at least, a center back after Gabbia parted ways.

574
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,640
I'm probably a striker.

575
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,760
I'm probably a striker still.

576
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:35,760
So apparently Moussa is a top priority for Milan in the midfield.

577
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,600
Valencia, midfielder.

578
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,000
Milan have offered 18 million, but Valencia want 25.

579
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,560
For him, he's just 20 years old.

580
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,240
He's half American, half English.

581
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,240
Seems like a good player.

582
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,560
I think he can grow into the team.

583
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,560
He's not going to be a starter when he comes in, but a good player to have, especially

584
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,120
when Milan still need a player that can dispossess players.

585
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,200
And I think Moussa can be that guy.

586
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,200
I'm not too sold on Moussa personally.

587
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,480
I know that he has been kept out of Valencia's plans for technical reasons.

588
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:19,120
I've heard mixed reviews of him, but there is an analytical approach, so I'm sure that

589
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,280
they see something that might not be obvious to the eye.

590
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,680
Everything goes another profile that thereafter as a vice calabria, perhaps.

591
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,920
Maybe Florence would be off after that because his wages are quite high.

592
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,360
Cabral was the latest rumor in attack.

593
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,360
Fiorentina's Cabral.

594
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,240
That would be another nice strategy.

595
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Morata of course has also been rumored.

596
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,680
I hope that doesn't happen.

597
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,960
But yeah, that's pretty much sums up Milan's Mercato so far.

598
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,680
It's been action packed now.

599
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:53,800
So obviously as a Milan fan, my past couple of weeks have been following new footballers

600
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,560
on Instagram and DMing them, welcome brother.

601
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,160
It's just such a nice process.

602
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,080
We're not used to this.

603
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,960
Obviously it's been quiet Mercatos over the past few.

604
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,160
Mercatos, the last time Milan had a Mercato like this was under what's his fucking face,

605
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,160
man?

606
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,160
Young Hung Lee?

607
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:22,560
Young Hung Lee when a bunch of signings were made, a bunch of signings were made over there,

608
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,880
perhaps less strategic and more profile based.

609
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,880
And older players signed for high fees like Biglia brought them for like 20 million.

610
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,520
One Nocci was brought in as well from Juve.

611
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,520
Kalinic.

612
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Kalinic.

613
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Musacchio.

614
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,520
Andre Silva.

615
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,520
But then we're blinded.

616
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,920
We thought we were going to win everything.

617
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,080
But I think it's more strategic this time round.

618
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,200
I think Maldini will be pissed off like, why didn't I have this budget?

619
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,640
Probably because you wouldn't have sold Sandra Tonali is the answer.

620
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,960
And Tonali was pivotal for Milan when it comes to Milan's success over the past two years.

621
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,960
It's no secret, especially in the scudetto winning season and also reaching the Champions

622
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,400
League semi-finals last season.

623
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,120
But his biggest contribution was probably this season.

624
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,120
With all the signings.

625
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,240
You mean Horrible Boss there.

626
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,600
I mean we'll see at the end of next season.

627
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,440
But it is a massive contribution.

628
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
I think his best contribution was in John Wick.

629
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400
The last thing.

630
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Not in Star Wars bro.

631
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Couldn't think of an Adam Driver.

632
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,200
So I spoke for the other guy, what's his name?

633
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,200
John Wick.

634
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,200
What the fuck is that guy's name?

635
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,200
John Wick.

636
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,480
Okay we'll move on to Atalanta.

637
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,480
Yes.

638
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Before we get the usual.

639
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,480
Bro for this one.

640
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,480
30 minutes on Milan.

641
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,480
Five on the rest.

642
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,760
We never get that.

643
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,400
We criticize ourselves for that.

644
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,280
Bro we've never gotten that feedback.

645
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,120
So don't be the first one.

646
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Atalanta.

647
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:03,320
So Atalanta have been busy hustling United asking for 90 million for a Rasmus.

648
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,320
For a Rasmus oil.

649
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,000
Relax Jesus Christ.

650
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,800
I believe the last news was United offered 50 million plus 10 million in bonuses but

651
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Atalanta 170.

652
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,800
They're just having fun.

653
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:19,680
I mean at this point they're looking around and they're seeing Onan at United for 52 million.

654
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,760
They're seeing Tonali to Newcastle for 64 million.

655
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,560
And they're saying you know fucking what man we can't do this.

656
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,400
We can play this game as well.

657
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,400
We can reinvest.

658
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,880
And Atalanta have been playing this game for a very long time.

659
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:33,880
Yes bro.

660
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,280
They've been selling high for a while.

661
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,240
Tom Lamers is a guy who has been sold through Rangers for 3.5 million euros and Jeremy Bogga

662
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:42,960
will be leaving the league after quite a few years now.

663
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,600
We use him at Sassuolo as well.

664
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,080
Just a season on the half at Atalanta.

665
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,480
He didn't hit the ground drowning.

666
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,960
It was a bit of a weird signing in the first place.

667
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:52,960
He never fit.

668
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,200
No it simply didn't make sense.

669
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,480
They didn't play with a winger.

670
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:56,480
Exactly.

671
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,320
But then they tried to play 343 and it just became very strange.

672
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,520
He's often used for 20 million so they even managed to get 20 million for him over there.

673
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,800
Now they've brought in El Bilal Touré from Almeria for 30 million.

674
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,960
He's a 21 year old striker who is physically strong and can finish very well.

675
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,520
He had 15 starts in La Liga last season.

676
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,840
He's from Mali.

677
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,400
He scored 7 goals and got 2 assists.

678
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:26,440
He played in France from 2019 to 2022 with Reym scoring 9 times and getting 5 assists in

679
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,440
31 starts.

680
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,000
So the young man is definitely capable of scoring goals.

681
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,640
He looks like a Duvan Zapata type of mole and that guy is also rumoured to be leaving

682
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:35,640
Duvan Zapata.

683
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,160
I'm apparently Monza like him.

684
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,160
That would be cool.

685
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,160
That would be very cool.

686
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,160
Duvan Zapata to Monza.

687
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,560
They've brought in Adopo from Torino, the 23 year old defensive midfielder.

688
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,680
We've seen what he can do.

689
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,920
He only had 3 starts for Torino last year.

690
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Six appearances of the Bench.

691
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,720
Nothing too crazy but he does seem like the type of player that Atalanta and Gasperini

692
00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:59,520
can refine and mold him into the profile.

693
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Yes, they also need someone to break down play.

694
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:10,480
They've got a good midfield that can play the ball around with players like Deron, players

695
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,160
like Pasalic, players like Kope Miners.

696
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,760
But where's the grit?

697
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,600
Where's the aggression in the midfield?

698
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,320
I do believe that Adopo can bring a little bit of that to his team.

699
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,440
He'll become a very intelligent player in no time.

700
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,880
Mitchell Bucke has been brought in from Bayer Leverkusen for 10 million, a very exciting

701
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,880
player over here.

702
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,480
Pacey left wing back or left back kind of a crab.

703
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Kind of a crab the way he moves it.

704
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,480
He is a crab.

705
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,160
Because he gets the ball and instead of going straight he goes sideways.

706
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:48,680
I've never seen anyone move the way this guy moves Bucke.

707
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,480
But it's unorthodox but he looks great.

708
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:58,600
He looks like that left wing back that they haven't had since Gossens.

709
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,000
Definitely an upgrade for them.

710
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,080
He's got a rocket in his pocket as well.

711
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,080
Bucke.

712
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,640
19 starts in Germany lost 0-3 goals and to assist.

713
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:14,240
He also scored and assisted in 5 European Europa League starts.

714
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:16,280
He has 22 starts with PSG as well.

715
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,960
He was actually bred over there as a player.

716
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,520
But Gasperini has made a comment on Bucke.

717
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,600
He said he's the one of the new signings who's struggling the most.

718
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,720
I don't know if these are mind games or if he's maybe randomly picking on him because

719
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:30,720
he likes him.

720
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:35,480
But I don't know why do you think he would publicly say that about a new signing in pre-season?

721
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,480
It's strange man.

722
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:43,080
There are managers like Gasperini and Morinio who throw their players under the bus.

723
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,680
The last time I remember Gasperini making a comment like this about one of his players

724
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,400
was about Malinovsky.

725
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,240
And moments after he said that he sold him.

726
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:58,640
He said he needs an attacking midfielder that can get more than 6 goals a season pretty

727
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,640
much and then he sold him.

728
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,480
So if history will repeat itself it means that Bucke doesn't have a long stay over there.

729
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,800
But since he just joined I'm sure he's just trying to motivate him and put some pressure

730
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,800
on him.

731
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,800
Yeah probably.

732
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,240
Sead Kolasinac you'll remember this man from Arsenal has been playing at Marseille and

733
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:20,880
has been picked up by Atalanta on a free.

734
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,440
He's 30 years old nowadays.

735
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,160
He had 26 starts last season for Marseille.

736
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,240
He actually got 4 goals and 1 assist.

737
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,760
I expect the form part of their back 3.

738
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,760
I think so too.

739
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,840
Yeah he had a very interesting viral video remember when he chased off a mugger.

740
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,880
Yes bro oh my god with Ozil.

741
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,320
These muggers went to steal their watches.

742
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,760
Ozil got into the car and almost started driving away and this guy was just intimidating

743
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,480
3 men holding knives.

744
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,760
Bro just like I'm gonna fucking punch you and they're all like running away.

745
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,000
It was crazy.

746
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,560
You know he brings aggression.

747
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,720
He brings grit.

748
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:01,080
He has struggled with injuries and that has impacted his fitness quite a bit when it comes

749
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,280
to his explosiveness and his pace which was something that he had in the beginning of

750
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:11,120
his stay with Arsenal but even less so now which is why I see him as more of a centre

751
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,640
back at Atalanta.

752
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,680
It's good for him that they play with a tree at the back because he's not the most defensive

753
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,680
sound player.

754
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,680
I think it was a smart signing for that reason.

755
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,680
Yeah I think so.

756
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,640
I think so and the fact that they got him on a free isn't bad.

757
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,360
Do I think Atalanta can do better?

758
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,360
Yes.

759
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Do I think that they got a coup?

760
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,360
Yes.

761
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,360
Yeah fair enough bro.

762
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,360
Roma.

763
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,360
Roma.

764
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:36,920
So when it comes to the players that have left Roma so far it's been Benjamin Tachirovich

765
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,200
who's gone to Ajax for 7.5 million.

766
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:45,400
We all remember the few games he had towards the latter stages of the season last year when

767
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,680
Roma were hit with a bunch of injuries.

768
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:54,800
Justin Cloyvert after spending some time out on loan obviously the son of Patrick Cloyvert.

769
00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:00,960
He has joined Burnmuth for 11.2 million some good money for Roma over there.

770
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Christian Volpato the Australian born Italian midfielder known for his last minute goal

771
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,120
on his debut.

772
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000
If I'm not mistaken it was his debut where he scored a winner.

773
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
He scored two goals.

774
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Yes it was his debut.

775
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,360
Last season or the season before.

776
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,800
Memories a bit foggy over there but Christian Volpato a good talent.

777
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,960
He's joining Saswolo.

778
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,760
He will definitely be a great signing for them and will continue to contribute to Saswolo's

779
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,320
strong midfield.

780
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,920
Ruben Providance has joined Hartburg for 300 million.

781
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:42,040
So oh my god for 300k and breaking those records.

782
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:47,040
Olippo Missori has also joined Saswolo for 2.5 million.

783
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:54,360
So a bit of movement here some good money made by Roma around 25 million worth of transfers

784
00:40:54,360 --> 00:41:01,240
over here and using they haven't really used that amount.

785
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:05,440
They haven't spent as much like last season where they signed players like Green if I

786
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:10,960
nailed them and Debala without and Bellotti without spending a single cent.

787
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:16,000
Obviously this year they have signed Evan Indica from Frankfurt on a free young centre

788
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,440
back just 23 years old.

789
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,440
Very strong in the air.

790
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,720
He played 38 games last season and he managed four goals and four assists the season before

791
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:26,720
in Germany.

792
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:32,520
Rasmus Christensen from Leeds on a free he is a 26 year old right back at 21 Premier League

793
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,840
starts last year.

794
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:40,080
Three goals and one assists which is his most productive season yet and who Sam Alwar from

795
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:46,720
Leon centre midfielder 25 years old six starts and had one goal and one assist in the league

796
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:52,440
last season and his best season was in 2018-2019 where he had seven goals and seven assists

797
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,400
and he also managed seven goals and three assists in 2020-2021.

798
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:07,120
So nothing crazy for Roma but so far it just seems like they trust in their starting 11

799
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,640
and it's just maintenance.

800
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,760
That seems to be the case however they do want a striker and the profiles that they're

801
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,880
looking at are Scamucca who apparently they're very close with and Morinio appreciates and

802
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,240
Scamucca actually wants to join Roma.

803
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:23,240
He's a Roma fan.

804
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:26,760
Morata's another profile they were looking at and Morinio appreciates his services.

805
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,320
Many managers like the idea of Morata more than the fans do in reality.

806
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,400
It's funny to think he's obviously a good squad player, brings good pace if that offside

807
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:45,560
rule does come into play then he will be a better striker but he's unfortunately overpaid

808
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,560
his entire career.

809
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,200
He's been overpaid his entire career he makes around six million a season and that is what

810
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,200
he's asking for.

811
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,840
Yes which is fair enough.

812
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,320
Those are your rates brother.

813
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:03,760
They are also focusing on getting the ball and new contract because they are terrified

814
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,840
of losing him.

815
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,600
I'm surprised they haven't yet.

816
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
He's got a 20 million release clause.

817
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,040
Crazy.

818
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,040
Crazy.

819
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,440
Milan need attacking with Fielder they can do it tomorrow.

820
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,440
Like a hell.

821
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,240
Honestly at this rate but of course a player would have to be willing to leave and I think

822
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:20,480
he's enjoyed himself so far in Rome.

823
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,480
Absolutely.

824
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:22,480
But we'll see.

825
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,120
We'll see what happens there if they manage to tie him down.

826
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,680
Other than that Roma I don't think there's anything.

827
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,960
Well they're apparently interested in Renato Sanchez.

828
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,960
Renato Sanchez of course.

829
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,560
A player that joined Milan like five times officially without ever stepping foot in Milan.

830
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:43,160
Leao announced it once as well but a few comments here and there.

831
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,480
Honestly and you look at these guys like Awar as well.

832
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,320
How is Awar only 25 years old.

833
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,280
Hey it seems like he's been around for ages.

834
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,160
With teams for so long.

835
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,840
I think in Dica's a good signing.

836
00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:00,440
I think when you look at for example Ibanez's performance last season I think in Dica might

837
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,280
be a starter over there.

838
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,600
I think Mancini and Smalling are two great centre backs that are very you know more in

839
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,160
your esk defenders.

840
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:17,080
I think even he is a more in your esk defender.

841
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,080
I just said his name.

842
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Ibanez Mancini.

843
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,800
Ibanez but he's two error prone.

844
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:28,520
He's very good at playing his part in set piece situations but he struggles a lot defensively

845
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,960
and a lot on the bigger stages and Mourinho does want his team to be on the bigger stages

846
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,320
so I do anticipate that in Dica is there to directly take Ibanez's role.

847
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:42,720
As we discussed in previous episodes Ibanez's problem is purely psychological at this point.

848
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,120
He starts to wonder am I going to make a mistake.

849
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,360
Oh my god I'm going to make a mistake and he makes a mistake.

850
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,120
At least in Dica has been brought in to play two matches a season against Lazio.

851
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,560
So moving on to Juventus.

852
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,120
Juventus have sales to make but they have players on high wages and they don't have

853
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,320
European football so before they can actually make moves in the market and exercising Jun

854
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,200
Tolia as their sporting director they need to figure out who they're going to sell and

855
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,360
how they're going to sell them.

856
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,080
There have been rumours however many many rumours and there has actually been one signing.

857
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,160
They've brought in Timothy Wea from Lille for 11.3 million.

858
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,480
Who's his dad?

859
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:29,680
His dad is the former Ballon d'Or winner, George Wea.

860
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,880
And former president of Liberia.

861
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,040
Current president of Liberia.

862
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,400
Current or former president of Liberia.

863
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,840
But anyway Timothy Wea has played as a striker, as a right winger and as a right back but

864
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,520
has commented that he would prefer to play as the number nine for Juventus this season.

865
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,520
Alright dog.

866
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,200
Smiles in a leg.

867
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,720
He's a right footed 23 year old, pacey finisher.

868
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,200
He's got last season he played 29 games in league one.

869
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,400
He scored two goals.

870
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:07,680
His best season was in 2021-2022 where he got three goals and four assists in 29 games.

871
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,000
So when it comes to his output it's not fantastic but he's definitely talented.

872
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,520
He's definitely a direct replacement of Quadrado.

873
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,280
This guy is saying he wants to play number nine.

874
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,720
I don't think that will be the case.

875
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:22,160
But he's a very versatile, very raw as well.

876
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,080
He's also played as left back before.

877
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,720
I've seen clips of him playing as left back.

878
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:32,000
So Juve have also lost on Heldi Maria to Benfica on a free, Juan Quadrado to Inter on a free

879
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,200
and Pardes back to PSG at the end of his loan.

880
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,840
And I'm sure Juve fans will breathe a sigh of relief over there.

881
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:47,960
I think Juventus' market can be unlocked if this whole Lombapa situation with PSG actually

882
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,960
hits the fan.

883
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:54,240
In Bapé going to Saudi Arabia for a season, making a bank and joining Real Madrid for

884
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:58,280
free is a hypothesis that has been discussed.

885
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:04,600
That would free up a striker spot for Paris Saint-Germain and they could go for Vlaovic.

886
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,520
They have been interested in Vlaovic and they'd pay for him.

887
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,960
And that would give Juve some leeway and they could actually make some signings over there.

888
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:12,960
Definitely.

889
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,160
That's a very good point.

890
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,680
At this point I don't know if they'd want to lose Vlaovic.

891
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,840
I know he's underperformed.

892
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,000
Is Allegri to blame?

893
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Is he to blame?

894
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,560
Is the whole situation to blame?

895
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,160
I mean, everyone underperformed for Juve last year.

896
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,960
So it's hard to put the blame anywhere, really.

897
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,680
But Juve are in a very tough situation.

898
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,400
Like you said, no Europe next year.

899
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,680
Their pull factor seems to be compromised.

900
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,880
They play a boring brand of football under Allegri and I do think that that's recognized

901
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:54,120
from potential players that could join their team.

902
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:55,440
It's a weird one.

903
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,120
Is it how much is it going to affect them next year?

904
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,040
I believe it's going to affect them significantly.

905
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:06,720
I think it will be Juve fighting hard to get top four next year.

906
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:07,720
Fighting hard.

907
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,880
They will play very defensively.

908
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,760
They'll get a lot of 1-0 victories.

909
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,960
It doesn't mean that they're not going to be a good side.

910
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:22,800
But wow, if things keep on going this way, it's going to be the Juve of last year and

911
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,440
the Juve of the year before.

912
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,680
Lukaku and Kessi are the latest names to be mentioned for Juventus.

913
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:36,720
Lukaku going to Juve would make a crazy derby d'Italia when they face Inter eventually.

914
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:38,840
Kessi would be a fantastic signing for them.

915
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,480
Currently, one of those players that you can get on a coop because he hasn't performed

916
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,880
to his best abilities.

917
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,280
We've seen what he can do at Atalanta and at Milan and he is an absolute treat code

918
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,000
in midfield.

919
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,520
Even the fact that when you have the lead, you just get from the ball near the corner

920
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,440
flag and he has out muscles three players.

921
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:02,680
That's so much fun to watch and such a good thing to have on your team.

922
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,120
That strength, that raw power.

923
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,000
He can solve a lot of issues that Juventus have.

924
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,840
He's a very, very talented player and much better with the ball at his feet than people

925
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:13,840
think.

926
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,400
He's a very intelligent player, Kessi.

927
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:21,440
Udinesis Pereira is available for free and he might also join you.

928
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,440
So yeah, that's it for Juve.

929
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,000
We can move on to Fiorentina.

930
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,720
Yes, so Fiorentina have been rather active as they typically are in transfer windows

931
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:31,720
to be fair.

932
00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:36,080
So out so far, they have Lorenzo Venuti who has gone to Lecce on a free, quite a good

933
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,560
signing for Lecce over there.

934
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:43,240
Jakub Razmusen has joined Brondby for three million.

935
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:50,560
Ricardo Saponara to Hellas Verona on a free, at least he's going to get a lot of minutes

936
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:51,560
over there.

937
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,280
Not that he didn't get a lot of minutes at Fiorentina.

938
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,240
He was starting most games over there.

939
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:57,480
Fantasy football, he's mine.

940
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,560
You can, you can forget about it.

941
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:06,680
Guys, Ricardo Saponara is a brilliant, brilliant signing for Hellas Verona.

942
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,760
What were Hellas Verona last season?

943
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,920
Donkeys.

944
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,800
What are they not going to be next season?

945
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:13,960
Donkeys.

946
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,760
This guy is going to bring the IQ.

947
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,800
This guy is going to bring the movement.

948
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,520
This guy is going to bring everything to Verona next year.

949
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,360
He is off on a free over there.

950
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:32,680
Alexa Terzic has joined Salzburg for 5.5 million, whilst Igor has joined Brighton for 20 fucking

951
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,400
million.

952
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,760
What a move there by Fiorentina to make 20 million on the guy that lost them the conference

953
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:40,760
league final.

954
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,000
Yeah, honestly, amazing selling spree.

955
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Brilliant.

956
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Brilliant.

957
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,360
They've made more than 30 million.

958
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,480
Well, no, they've made 28 million, 28.5 million.

959
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:58,640
To mention that Amra but United is probably happening, 25 million plus bonuses, but they

960
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,160
have many, many gaps in their squad to fill.

961
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,160
They need a goalkeeper.

962
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,760
They're looking at the likes of Montepo, Maximiano, Audero.

963
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,160
They're even looking at Falcone, but Falcone is going to be staying at Letra.

964
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,760
And Basquerotto is a top defensive target for them to replace Igor.

965
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,760
That would be really cool.

966
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,960
That would be very good.

967
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,600
They're also looking at fullbacks, Zanoli and Gendry in particular.

968
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:24,840
They like Maxim Lopez, Pereira, Shouten, Insola, Orsolini and Dia.

969
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,120
They also like Lucas Beltran.

970
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,640
He's a defender from River Plate.

971
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,000
He's a hot target, but he costs 20 million.

972
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
What are they?

973
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:38,880
Me when I was 13 with all these crushes, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like,

974
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,960
they just like everyone Fiorentina.

975
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:48,440
The players that have signed so far are Arthur Mello, pardon me, from London, from Juventus

976
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,920
with an option to buy of 20 million, not a bad player, Arthur Mello.

977
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,600
And just not worth the amount of money that he's been traded for in the past.

978
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:03,760
There was this whole thing about Diti Land in Florence, Diti Flea Florence, but he's

979
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:04,760
there guys.

980
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,280
He signed, he's held up the shirt.

981
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,280
He signed the contract.

982
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,280
There was around the market.

983
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,280
The medical council.

984
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,280
He's just fucked up.

985
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:20,160
Abdel Hamid Sabiri from Sampdoria for four million, I think he's a fantastic, fantastic

986
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,800
fit for Fiorentina.

987
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,680
I think having him and Baraka's options behind that striker is just amazing.

988
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:32,480
You either have the elegance of one or the fucking ferociousness of the other, just four

989
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,720
million euros as well since Sampdoria were relegated.

990
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:42,080
Abdel Hamid Sabiri to Fiorentina Fabiano Parisi, another fantastic signing here for

991
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,600
Fiorentina, the left back from Empoli for 10 million.

992
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:54,040
Yes, left back because there's right back written here, rather, he's a left back.

993
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,000
Vice for Biragi, probably a lot of rotation over there.

994
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,480
We know Italiano that he enjoys rotation.

995
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,640
Parisi is just one hell of a coop for them.

996
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,680
A player that is worth to me more than 10 million is just he was at Empoli.

997
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,800
Yeah, that's it.

998
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,800
He's their best signing so far.

999
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,400
He could have easily gone to a bigger team, but I think he wanted a guaranteed starting

1000
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,560
spot over there.

1001
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,080
His breakout season was in 2021 where he had 16 starts.

1002
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:25,240
He developed nicely into a vital piece for our Zanetti system and eventually in his second

1003
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:29,600
season managed 33 appearances and two goals and would also join the midfield in the build-up

1004
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,920
play and play kind of like Theo Hernandez.

1005
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,840
You said guaranteed starter.

1006
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,280
I mean, they have Biragi.

1007
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,200
I think Parisi might displace him.

1008
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,840
The captain, Biragi.

1009
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:43,840
You never know, bro.

1010
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,880
You never know, but I don't think he's a guaranteed start.

1011
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,600
I think he needs to fucking fight if he wants to displace Biragi.

1012
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:53,240
But my point is more like he's more likely to replace Biragi than he is to replace Theo

1013
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:57,240
or Dimorpo or Marjory at the moment.

1014
00:53:57,240 --> 00:53:58,240
You know?

1015
00:53:58,240 --> 00:53:59,240
That's true.

1016
00:53:59,240 --> 00:54:00,240
That's true.

1017
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:01,240
Yes, bro.

1018
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:02,240
What do you think about Arthur Mello?

1019
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:06,360
He didn't play for Liverpool at all and he wasn't really suitable for a leggy when

1020
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:07,360
he was at Juve.

1021
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,200
He was good at Barça between 2018 and 2019.

1022
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,160
Was he, though, he was OK?

1023
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,680
He was hailed to be a very good player there.

1024
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,400
I think he's a very good talent.

1025
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,160
I think he's a talented player.

1026
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,280
I think he's a very intelligent player.

1027
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,960
He's still brother young, 27 years old in that midfield role.

1028
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:35,480
But the simple fact of the matter is he has been inactive for a while and I think that

1029
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:41,920
has a lot to do with maybe his attitude or his personality because how could you go to

1030
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,240
Liverpool not play a single game over there?

1031
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:49,440
How could you go to Juventus and barely make any noise over there?

1032
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:54,480
He had, like you said, a couple of good seasons at Barcelona last year, but when you have

1033
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:58,960
Busquets on your side, it's a bit easy to look good.

1034
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,120
But he was fluid over there.

1035
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,000
He moved the ball around and then suddenly he was caught up in this 90 million euro

1036
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,600
trade, 80 million euro trade.

1037
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:13,160
And ever since that, he's just fallen off the radar completely and maybe hopefully this

1038
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:17,760
move to Fiorentina will help him get that confidence that he had and revitalize his

1039
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,760
career.

1040
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,760
I apologize.

1041
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:20,760
Yes, bro.

1042
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,440
Another signing I'm worried about here, well worried about.

1043
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,480
It's only four million euro, but Abdel Hamid Sabiri has never actually quite played a full

1044
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,240
season and that's really strange to me.

1045
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:37,560
He had 12 stars for a terrible Sampdoria side last year and nine starts the year before.

1046
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,440
I found that to be very, very odd.

1047
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,760
It's obviously their star player like Sampdoria.

1048
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,400
But then you watch him play and you realize that he doesn't contribute much defensively.

1049
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,320
His work rate isn't very high.

1050
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,880
He doesn't often get involved in games.

1051
00:55:51,880 --> 00:56:00,480
To me, he plays a bit more defensively than I think he should.

1052
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:01,680
He doesn't contribute defensively.

1053
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,080
I think the guy is a secondary striker.

1054
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,400
I don't think he's an attacking midfielder.

1055
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,400
I think his strengths would be much closer to goal.

1056
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,640
I think he's being played out of position, which is crazy because I'm wrong.

1057
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,280
I think he's a secondary striker.

1058
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,960
I think his qualities are that of a secondary striker.

1059
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:19,960
I think he's more...

1060
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,360
A bit of an illichich.

1061
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:28,280
I view him more as kind of that almost a suso mold, you know what I mean?

1062
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:29,280
Kind of like...

1063
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:30,280
They can't play.

1064
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,280
They can't play out wide.

1065
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,760
They can't play behind the striker, but not a trick-whites style enough to be a striker.

1066
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:36,760
That's the thing.

1067
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,760
No, that's why I second G.

1068
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,440
I don't think he's a trick-whites star.

1069
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,200
I don't think he's a medzala.

1070
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,640
And that's where he's been deployed.

1071
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,200
I really don't think that's his position.

1072
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,200
But who knows?

1073
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,200
We'll see.

1074
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,560
Well, at Fiorentina, he's going to have to play on the right or in midfield?

1075
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:53,560
Yeah, probably.

1076
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,120
In a midfield three as a medzala.

1077
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,120
Probably.

1078
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,120
Or maybe Abdulhamid.

1079
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,680
You're going to have to be good.

1080
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:04,400
One thing is, he is versatile in the sense that we've seen him play track-whites, though.

1081
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,720
He's technically enough to get away with it.

1082
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:10,520
Exactly like he could come on for Barak and he can come on for Bonaventura and he can

1083
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,640
come on for Rikone and he can come on for Niko.

1084
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:14,640
You know what I mean?

1085
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,800
He's very versatile like that.

1086
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,040
He's versatile or he doesn't have a position for Bonaventura.

1087
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,680
I think he'll probably play in midfield because he has so many wingers.

1088
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:21,680
Yeah, I think so.

1089
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,680
I think so.

1090
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:23,680
Is that it for Fiorentina?

1091
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:24,680
That is it.

1092
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,680
That is it.

1093
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:26,680
That is it.

1094
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:27,680
Everyone and their mom who they're linked with.

1095
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:32,120
Now, what have Bologna been doing?

1096
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:40,200
So they've brought in some view camera from AZ Alkmaar for 10 million.

1097
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,200
He's a centre-back.

1098
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,560
He's 24 years old.

1099
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,560
He's a big guy.

1100
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,080
He's a traditional defender.

1101
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,880
He's not about pace or ball control.

1102
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:53,760
He's literally there to win you aerial duels, to win you tackles, to regain possession.

1103
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,240
He's that type of defender.

1104
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,840
In two seasons with AZ, he managed 54 appearances.

1105
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,480
Five goes on one assist as well.

1106
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,920
He's developing into a dependable solid defender.

1107
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:09,160
Yes, him and Saumaro will be frightening next to each other, to say the least.

1108
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,520
Usama El Azuzi is a player who has come in for Bologna.

1109
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:14,520
Azuzi, Azuzi.

1110
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,520
Azuzi Stool.

1111
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:16,520
Azuzi Stool.

1112
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,400
From Union, AZG for 2 million euros.

1113
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,360
He's a centre-midfielder, 22 years old.

1114
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,120
He can play the ball around very well.

1115
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:27,760
He's got 30 games with Union, AZG last year.

1116
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,240
He hardly started, but he came on in most games.

1117
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,560
If Dominguez eventually leaves, this guy will be the replacement.

1118
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:38,560
Now Bologna have also let go of Casius, two AZ at Alcumar for 3 million euros.

1119
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,360
Roberto Soriano has left on a free.

1120
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,280
Gary Medell has joined Vasco da Gama on a free.

1121
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,240
And Nicola Sansone is currently a free.

1122
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,120
Yes, a lot of...

1123
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,240
When you look at Soriano, Medell and Sansone, like okay.

1124
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,440
They were in the biggest contributors to Bologna.

1125
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,080
Soriano had a weak season last year and seems like he's been declining.

1126
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:06,040
Sansone, whenever he plays, he looks really selfish, although he has his good moments.

1127
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:12,600
Medell was very important for them two seasons ago, but he is getting older.

1128
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:13,600
Is he a centre-back?

1129
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:14,760
Is he a defensive midfielder?

1130
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,760
His fitness has gone back a little bit.

1131
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:24,920
But three players that were not key to Bologna, but staples, exactly staples.

1132
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,040
And they lost them all on a free.

1133
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:30,720
So I think if I were a supporter of Bologna, I would be upset to see all that movement

1134
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,720
on a free.

1135
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,440
And I know because I'm a Milan supporter, so I've seen all that movement on a free.

1136
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:35,680
But it's a new reign, no?

1137
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,280
It's Mottra and Mottra wants more modern players.

1138
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,280
These guys are outdated nowadays.

1139
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,720
And they're removing the...

1140
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,720
What do they say?

1141
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Removing the bad grass?

1142
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,440
What do they call it? They're trimming the fat.

1143
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,240
They're trimming the fat, exactly.

1144
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:51,920
Fiorentina are after Dominguez.

1145
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,120
Many clubs are after Dominguez, are now, which is currently hot property.

1146
00:59:55,120 --> 01:00:01,240
Bologna are after Balotore, Calofiore and Cambiasso, they're all targets.

1147
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,600
They're also monitoring 29-year-old Bernadeschi, who wants to return to Europe.

1148
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:10,640
Of course, as we discussed, Himat Abdelhi is on the radar.

1149
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:15,320
He's Algerian, class of 1999, playing for Angers in League One.

1150
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,440
So that's what's going on with Bologna at the moment.

1151
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,720
Yes, sir. Interesting to see what Mottra's men will do next year.

1152
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:27,000
Moving on to Torino, who have been quite active this year.

1153
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,640
When it comes to the players that have left the club, as we've already mentioned,

1154
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:35,600
Michel Adopa has gone to Atalanta on a freed and exact-lava-thrilling spell with Torino.

1155
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,880
However, as we mentioned, could be quite effective with Atalanta.

1156
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:46,000
Olaina, who also had nothing to write home about spell at Torino.

1157
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:54,200
He is off to, pardon me, Nottingham Forest on a free, our favorite English team.

1158
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,920
It will be interesting to see how he fares over there.

1159
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:01,200
It's always interesting to see players leaving Italy to join the Premier League.

1160
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,400
Obviously, Olaina has no stranger to the English game, came up through the ranks at Chelsea,

1161
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,320
and he's back home, back in the United Kingdom.

1162
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:13,040
And also, Magnus Warming has left to join Brandt for 700K.

1163
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:17,720
When it comes to the players that have joined, a few very good coups over here for Torino.

1164
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:23,040
Namely, the signing of Adrian Thames from Hellas Verona, the 29-year-old defensive midfielder,

1165
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,240
known for being quite an all-rounder in that midfield area.

1166
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:36,040
One of Hellas Verona's loyal players that stayed through when all of these players were moving to other big clubs,

1167
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:42,240
known for his stints at Atalanta, Hellas Verona and Nice, who will bring loads of experience to the site.

1168
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,280
He has 115 games in Serie A with five goals and two assists.

1169
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,600
Nothing flashy, but he certainly gets the job done.

1170
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:55,880
Raul Bellanova joined from Calieri for 7 million, the 23-year-old right back who spent the last season

1171
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,280
on loan at Inter with an option to buy.

1172
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:03,880
He didn't get that many opportunities at Inter, which is why he was led to go back to Calieri,

1173
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,440
who made 7 million off of his sale as he joins Torino.

1174
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:08,800
He'll be very important for them.

1175
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,520
He had 18 appearances only for Inter last year.

1176
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,000
He brought lots of energy, but little output.

1177
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,880
A hot talent during his Milan-Primavera days.

1178
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:23,720
He is, in fact, the gentleman that leaked Chiellini's nudes.

1179
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:30,560
His vision has never been his strong suit, which goes hand in hand with the fact that he brought no output.

1180
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:37,680
He didn't see Chiellini's massive dick in the background as he took that photo with Cristiano Ronaldo.

1181
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:44,320
He went to Bordeaux, Atlanta, Calieri, and eventually Inter, and now he joins Torino for his new stint.

1182
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,160
Mihai Papa, I love it when you call me Mihai Papa.

1183
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,040
Throw your hands in the air.

1184
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:57,000
He has joined from Voluntari on a free, he's a 22-year-old goalkeeper.

1185
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:02,600
He's Romanian and he never played outside Romania, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do for Torino.

1186
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,120
Will he benchvania? Probably not.

1187
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,600
Rigi is currently hot property at Torino.

1188
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:14,760
Of course, everyone seems to want him, but Cairo demands 30 million, and we all know Cairo and how hard he is to negotiate with.

1189
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,600
Shingo is also wanted by Milan, of course, as we discussed.

1190
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:24,360
Now, there's an Argentine talent called Alejo Veliz, born in 2003.

1191
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:33,000
He plays for club atletico Rosario Central, and he's wanted by Torino, who will probably offer 6 million for him.

1192
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:38,800
Torino also want to keep Vlasic, but West Ham are asking for 13 million, and they're still trying to negotiate there,

1193
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:46,200
while distance with Atalanta for Miran Csuk is still very much there, and it looks unlikely that Miran Csuk will be staying in Torino.

1194
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:54,520
Another season where Juric is going to be a little bit displeased about the transfer market,

1195
01:03:54,520 --> 01:04:00,120
once again due to Cairo not listening to the talented coach's demands.

1196
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:07,320
But, however, Tamez and Belanova are two good coupes for this team.

1197
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:12,120
I do believe that those are two very good signings for them, and there's still a month left, so we'll see what they can do.

1198
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:18,520
Hopefully, they won't be letting go of either Vlasic or Miran Csuk, because those two really bring a lot of intelligence,

1199
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:24,920
a lot of flair, and a lot of output to that front three, especially with Toni Salabria down the middle.

1200
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:33,640
I agree, bro. When it comes to Monsa, of course, after Berlusconi's death, it was the Greek tycoon who was in charge of Olympiacos.

1201
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:38,920
And there was a Premier League team as well, I can't quite remember at the moment.

1202
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:44,600
Leads, yes. And I can't remember his name, and probably even if I did, I would mispronounce it.

1203
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,680
So he is currently the owner of Monsa, and they have made a few moves.

1204
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:55,080
Now, obviously, they needed to redeem everyone who had survival clauses in their contract,

1205
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,040
so they already had a lot to spend over there.

1206
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,960
Now, Christian Gitke has gone to Venezia on a free.

1207
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:06,200
He will be up top with your favorite Pionpaolo,

1208
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:12,360
a Viking partnership, Christian Gitke and Pionpaolo up front together for Venezia.

1209
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:19,160
And they have also sold Cranio, well, it's a loan with option for an undisclosed fee to Sasuolo.

1210
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,000
That's a great coup by Sasuolo.

1211
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,240
Very, very good coup. It was a no-brainer for a team that needed a goalkeeper,

1212
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,240
maybe one of the smaller teams to go in and show faith to Cranio, because on his day,

1213
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,880
he's a marvelous goalkeeper, and for a long time he was known to be the next big thing for goalkeepers.

1214
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:38,920
It's just a shame for him that his competition was Di Gregorio, who is a fantastic goalkeeper.

1215
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,640
Alessio Cranio actually played one game last season,

1216
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,640
who was a three-nil loss to Salernitana, he didn't play again.

1217
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:50,760
Monsa have made two signings so far official, and they've brought in Valentin Carboni from Inter

1218
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,840
on loan with, I believe, it's an option or an obligation, I can quite remember.

1219
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,160
And Roberto Galliardini on a free.

1220
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,880
Now, what to expect from these guys?

1221
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:05,560
Now, Valentin Carboni is quite versatile, he can be an attacking midfielder,

1222
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,280
center forward or a right winger, he's only 18 years old,

1223
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:12,120
he has five appearances of the bench for Inter last season, 29 appearances,

1224
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,360
five goals and five assists with the Premavera,

1225
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,920
and he played his first ever Champions League game against Bayern Munich last year.

1226
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:24,680
He got called up for Argentina in 2022, and fun fact, his brother Franco Carboni already

1227
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:30,040
plays with Monsa and their dad manages the under-17 team. Wow, okay, that's a thing.

1228
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Homecoming for him. Yeah, they also want to sign Arnautovic or Duvan Zapata,

1229
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:43,000
both are currently being mentioned as hot property throughout the Serie A.

1230
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,800
Bernhardeschi, as you mentioned earlier, is also who he wants to move back to Italy.

1231
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:51,240
Carlos Augusto is wanted by many, especially in the Premier League,

1232
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:57,720
it's no secret that this guy is the hottest talent at the moment within that team.

1233
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:05,640
And also the latest hot-rumours, young striker Mate Arnautovic from Haiduk.

1234
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:12,840
Oh my god, Arnautovic, you're right, dyslexic, from Haiduk Split. Now, as you mentioned, part of the

1235
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:18,200
because you might not be seeing sensational signings over here by Monsa,

1236
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:24,360
but a lot of their efforts were redeeming the players that they had on loan with the likes

1237
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:32,680
of Caprari, the likes of Pesina, the likes of Sensi, so on and so forth. So yeah, they spent a lot of

1238
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:37,960
money over there and at this point it's maintenance. I think Galliardini is a good player that they

1239
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:43,000
brought in, good squad player, and so is Carboni, hopefully more of what we saw last season for

1240
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:49,320
Monsa with an even better start this time round. For sure, bro, moving on to Udinese. Yes, Udinese,

1241
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,760
when it comes to the players that have left Udinese so far, tall guy Arslan will no longer

1242
01:07:54,760 --> 01:08:01,640
be playing for them. He has moved to Australia on a free Melbourne city who finished second

1243
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:07,000
in the Australian A-League last year, just behind the Central Coast Mariners. I watched those two

1244
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:15,720
teams go head-to-head last season live. Rodrigo Becau has joined Fenerbahce for 8.3 million. He

1245
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:21,960
was a staple in Udinese's team for so many years. Milan fans will all breathe a sigh of relief to

1246
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:27,800
know that Becau is no longer going to be scoring against them. And also, massive, massive loss

1247
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:35,000
for Udinese is their captain Pereira. He's off on a free. So he's a free agent right now. It would

1248
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:40,680
be silly not to see a team pick him up. And I'm surprised he's not a Watford player at this point.

1249
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:48,680
Now, when it comes to the players that have joined Udinese, not many big names, but Udinese aren't

1250
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:55,400
known for bringing in many big names. So they have Oyer Zarraga joining from Athletic Bilbao. He's a

1251
01:08:55,400 --> 01:09:01,400
24-year-old central midfielder. He had six starts and 20 appearances off the bench for Athletic

1252
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:08,360
Bilbao. He had eight starts the season prior. Progress was at a halt and this is a new opportunity

1253
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:13,560
for him. I don't know too much about the player. I don't know why he didn't get so many starts last

1254
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:20,120
season, but hopefully his career will be revitalized at Udinese. Brenner joined from Cincinnati for

1255
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:26,600
10 million. He's a 23-year-old striker known for his pace and finishing. He has 115 games,

1256
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:32,360
40 goals and 10 assists in Brazil and the USA. Like you said, you can only score when you play

1257
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:40,200
and that's exactly what he's done in those leagues. Lorenzo Luka, this is a move that I love. Same here,

1258
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:47,880
bro. The Pisa giant striker. How tall is he, bro? Six foot six, brother. Six foot six. 2.01 meters.

1259
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:54,600
Yes, still 22 years old, known for his strength, finishing technique, hold-up play and his aerial

1260
01:09:54,600 --> 01:10:01,000
talent as well. He's six foot six, which is two meters. Like you said, it's surprising. It's always

1261
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,560
surprising to see such a tall player with such good technique. I think that's exactly what he has.

1262
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:15,000
He's a former Primovera top scorer with 14 goals and he also scored two goals and 14 games with

1263
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:22,040
Ajax and six goals and 35 for Pisa and 14 goals and 27 for Palermo. So he's had a bit of a mixed

1264
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:27,400
career so far, but he's still just 22 years old and it's interesting to see finally what he gets to

1265
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:32,120
do at Serie A. This is up there you've been talking about for a while. Six foot six striker who had

1266
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,760
the Ajax experience. Yes, bro. He's so good at hold-up play and that's probably the reason why

1267
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:41,240
those flick-ons and his intelligence and his awareness, I think he learned a lot from the Netherlands.

1268
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:48,520
Yes, I think so too, bro. Jordan Zamoura has joined from Bernmeth on a free. He is Odogea's

1269
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:53,800
replacement. That's one thing we didn't mention. Odogea has left but that was agreed a while ago.

1270
01:10:54,440 --> 01:11:03,000
Remind me who joined Spurs in the Premier League. Spurs. Jordan Zamoura is a 23-year-old

1271
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,320
left back, a left-footed left back known for his pace and crossing so he can be quite effective

1272
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:12,440
for them over there. He has 59 Premier League appearances with three goals and two assists.

1273
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:18,680
Christian Kabalese has joined from Watford. What a Watford player joining Udineze. I wonder

1274
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:26,840
who is responsible for that. Not Pozzo. He is a Belgian experienced defender probably coming in

1275
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:32,680
to replace Rodrigo Becau. We'll see what he is capable of over there. A cheap replacement naturally.

1276
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:37,960
Also Etienne Kamara has joined from Huddersfield for two million. He is a 20-year-old defensive

1277
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:43,640
midfielder known for his good passing, solid tackling and he has 21 appearances for Huddersfield.

1278
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:50,040
Last season no contributions. That is not what is expected of him. Very good bro. Udineze of

1279
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:55,320
course have Samardzic who is hot property and they also like Duvan Zapata. There isn't much going on

1280
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:59,000
for them when it comes to rumours because it seems that they've been quite active already

1281
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:03,480
and they've actually brought in quite a few people and have been making moves in the market.

1282
01:12:03,480 --> 01:12:09,480
Nice to see over there Udineze and I really like the Brenner and Lukka combination. We'll see.

1283
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:16,680
One of them is bound to get going. Exactly. Agreed bro. Okay. Moving on to Sasuolo.

1284
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:24,600
Sasuolo have of course allowed Ricardo Marquizza to leave for 1.5 million. He has joined Frasignone.

1285
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:31,240
Abdul Haroui has also joined Frasignone for 2.5 million euros. Marco Salah has gone to Como

1286
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:36,360
and Khan Aihan has gone to Galatasaray for 2.8 million. Now when it comes to who they've brought

1287
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:42,840
in they've brought in Christian Volpato from Roma for 7.5 million euros. The right winger. He's 19

1288
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:49,560
years old. He had 13 games, two goals and one assist with Roma. Both last minute goals. Both last

1289
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:56,600
minute goals. Very dramatic. Filippo Missori was brought in from Roma for 2.5 million euros. He's

1290
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:02,280
a 19 year old right back. He had three appearances for Roma last season. We don't really know much

1291
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:08,760
about him but a very exciting prospect over here was Samuele Mulatiri brought in from Inter

1292
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:14,760
for 6 million euros. He's a striker. He's 22 years old. He's Pacey. He's a good finisher. He was at

1293
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:20,520
Frasignone last year and helped them win the league in Serie B at 29 games with 12 goals scored. He

1294
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:27,400
also scored five goals in Suswalo's friendly 22-0 victory recently. Yeah I think that that's

1295
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:33,160
definitely the competition that was needed for Pinamonti over there especially another young

1296
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:39,000
Italian striker. Of course. Alessio Craneo was brought in from Monza on loan with option to buy

1297
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:44,680
for an undisclosed fee. He's 29 years old nowadays. He was one of the best goalkeepers in the league

1298
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:49,720
when he was at Caliari. He played once for Monza as discussed in the 3-0 loss to Salernitan and

1299
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:55,160
didn't play again. Of course D'Gregorio is a very tough man to bench. Mattia Viti was brought in

1300
01:13:55,160 --> 01:14:00,280
on loan with option to buy from Nice. He is a centre back. 21 years old left footed. He had

1301
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:05,480
nine appearances for Nice last season. He even scored a goal for them. He played 20 games for

1302
01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:14,280
Empoli in 21-22 and he also played with Erlich at Empoli for Erlich. So that's a you know you're

1303
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:21,800
getting a defensive duo who have played together before. That's also a good thing. Daniel Bologa

1304
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:28,120
was brought in from Frosignano for 10 million euros. He is a centre back also. He's 24 years old.

1305
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,760
He played 31 games in Serie A but last season he also managed to score two goals

1306
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:39,720
and he was pivotal for Frosignano's title victory. He is Romanian. Yes when it comes to the movement

1307
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:45,400
that we'll be expecting or the rumours rather that have been going on. As we mentioned earlier

1308
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:50,120
Rogerio has interest from Milan as well as Spartak. He'll have two very different roles over

1309
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:55,880
there. One as a vice and one potentially as a starter. Himad Abdelie is on the radar with the

1310
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:03,080
Algerian class of 99 playing for Angers in League 1. They're also interested in Alejo Velliz,

1311
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:11,240
19 year old striker who's owned by Rosario Central. Again, Sasvala are this kind of team,

1312
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:16,280
right? They don't really sign any massive names. They either sign if you're a young Italian upcoming

1313
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:21,240
talent or if you're an obscure player from somewhere and you want a team where you could

1314
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:26,520
learn how to be very tactically disciplined and showcase some of your flair then Sasvala is the

1315
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:33,080
place for you. Fantastic bro. Sasvala is a good place to develop and to grow. It's kind of a

1316
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:37,960
stepping stone for many of these young players. Yes there's also been rumours about Berardi.

1317
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:44,280
For a while there was Berardi to Lazio that seemed very close to happening. I don't know where they

1318
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:50,120
are right now with that. It's something that that excited a lot of Lazio fans and a lot of Serie A

1319
01:15:50,120 --> 01:16:00,280
fans especially at a team like Lazio having Berardi on one side and Zacani on the other side with a

1320
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:06,360
mobile upfront that's an Italian front. Three would be very exciting for them but it seems to be halted.

1321
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:12,280
We will keep you updated on what happens with Berardi. Yes and if not on the podcast on Instagram

1322
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:18,280
check us out there and say your spotlight. Moving on to Empoli. When it comes to the players that

1323
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:23,160
have left Empoli so far there's Fabiano Parisi. The left back was joined Fiorentina for 10 million

1324
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:28,680
as we mentioned earlier. Philip Massive loss for them over there. Filippo Bandinelli has joined

1325
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:35,400
Spezia for 2.5 million a good squad player that brought a lot of experience to the side and Guglielmo

1326
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:43,160
Vicario to Sperms for 20 million. One of the well probably the best performing goalkeeper

1327
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:48,920
last season and you know what fuck it he was just as good the season before it's just he made a

1328
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:55,560
triple save and suddenly everyone knew about him. Massive massive loss for Empoli. You know

1329
01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:02,600
how much I love Vicario gonna miss him tremendously in the league but again always exciting to see

1330
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:06,520
Italian players in the Premier League and I will be keeping a close eye on him. He's definitely

1331
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:12,600
gonna bench Hugo Larisse. When it comes to the players that Empoli have brought in number one

1332
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:20,200
Manuel Giasi for 2 million from Spezia. Now where does this guy play? Is he a striker? Is he a right

1333
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:26,440
winger? A left winger? A right midfielder? A left midfielder? He seems to play pretty much all over

1334
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:33,640
the place to be fair his technique is also all over the place. Giasi is an interesting player

1335
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:39,720
he's never really caught my eye but for some reason he was a constant starter at Spezia

1336
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,760
and fuck it for a team like Empoli maybe he'll be a decent squad player who knows.

1337
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:49,400
Giasi back in the day was known for his pace and the dribbling right but that's something

1338
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:57,720
that you don't really see from him anymore. Giasi is versatile as you said he will always give you

1339
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:02,600
100% and he's a leader and a real man of the people so that's what he gets when you get Giasi.

1340
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:09,000
Is he a great player? Is his output great? No, but he's a good player to have a good score.

1341
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:15,560
He's not a solution but hey he's a 2 million player. Captain of a previous SEA team.

1342
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:20,600
Captain of a previous SEA team, good SEA experience so just to Empoli we'll see what happens over there.

1343
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:28,200
Elia Caprile has joined from Napoli on a loan he's a 21 year old goalkeeper he is hailed as quite a

1344
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:33,480
hot talent and with Vicario leaving maybe he will be able to get some minutes to spoke about this

1345
01:18:33,480 --> 01:18:41,160
earlier he was barry starting goalkeeper last year he had a very good playoff spell and yeah

1346
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,720
they were seconds away from promotion because of some top saves that he made but luck was not on

1347
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:51,080
their side in the final so interesting to see whether or not he will be their starter or

1348
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,520
whether they'll bring in someone else I think he will be their starter.

1349
01:18:54,520 --> 01:19:02,680
Philippo Ranocchia has joined from Juventus for 500k and he's a 22 year old central midfielder

1350
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:08,840
he played 14 games and has one goal in Serie A last season with Monza and 31 games and one

1351
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:16,440
goal for Vicenza in Serie A this season before. Daniel Maldini has joined Empoli on a loan from

1352
01:19:16,440 --> 01:19:23,960
AC Milan naturally his dad left and he left and attacking midfielder 21 years old look when it

1353
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:29,800
comes to Daniel Maldini is he there because of his name maybe but when you speak to or you hear

1354
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:35,800
the interviews rather of players that have trained with him they do hail him as a very very talented

1355
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:41,400
player maybe at Empoli is where we get to see that we didn't really get to see it at Spezia last

1356
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:46,040
year although he scored two very important goals one against Milan one against Inter the guy doesn't

1357
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:52,520
settle for anything less than that and he has 31 Serie A matches for Milan and Spezia scoring three

1358
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:57,640
goals in the meantime it's funny like I said he scored against Milan and Inter and for Milan he scored

1359
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:08,200
against Spezia so yeah it's it's I think Empoli is a better fit for him than Spezia where and

1360
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:13,400
he's got a great manager over there in Zanetti who hopefully will develop him into the player he is

1361
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:20,840
destined to be having that Maldini's air name. They've also signed Samuel Angori from Perugia

1362
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:26,120
for 200k he is quite a versatile 19 year old player he's played as a left back and as a central

1363
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:31,560
midfielder before he has a very very good left foot he's known for his crossing as well as his

1364
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:39,880
work rate he has 62 games and 16 assists for in the Primavera. No it is the profile this is basically

1365
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:45,480
Parisi you know left back that can also join the midfield. Well he's definitely a direct

1366
01:20:45,480 --> 01:20:51,720
replacement for him definitely a direct replacement but that's that is Empoli for you. They've had a

1367
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:57,560
good market so far I think Empoli quite respectable they're after Kedira from Bari the Morocco

1368
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:05,400
International striker they're also looking at Michael Folloruncio he's a concrete target he's

1369
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:10,360
an apoli midfielder who was a major protagonist at Bari last year with nine goals and four assists

1370
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:16,200
and is currently being evaluated by Garcia as to whether or not we should keep him or not before

1371
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:21,320
they actually allow him to leave. Okay yeah also Empoli are one of those teams that is known for

1372
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:27,000
a lot of loan moves a lot of these two-year loans with obligations options and a lot of these guys

1373
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:35,080
were three important players for them especially Razvan Marin who was on loan from Kalyari. He is

1374
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:41,560
on another season loan from Kalyari until the end of 2024 not too sure if they have an option

1375
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:45,720
an obligation and what will be exercised after that the important thing is that he will be there

1376
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:51,720
until the end of 2024 then there's also two strikers who haven't really hit the ground running yet

1377
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:58,200
much like the other strikers of Empoli there's Satriano and Piccoli. Now Satriano is off on loan

1378
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:06,920
with Brest now in France whilst Piccoli has another season on loan at Empoli from Atalanta

1379
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:12,360
and then they have an option to buy but Atalanta have an option to buy him back after that so that

1380
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:18,680
is an update when it comes to all of these loaned players within Empoli. Very good bro up next we

1381
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:25,240
have Salernitana who just like Napoli have not signed a single player yet. These Campania teams are

1382
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:34,040
lacking. Stingy. Piontek has left Salernitana he went to Turkey. Basak Sehir is his new team

1383
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:41,240
Bonacolian Valencia have also left and Dia will probably leave to us his hot property and has a

1384
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:49,160
25 million euro release clause. Now when it comes to the rumors Salernitana are interested in Alejo

1385
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:56,040
Vellis who's a 19 year old striker owned by Rosario Central. They like Miretti and have

1386
01:22:56,040 --> 01:23:01,720
inquired about Miretti. They have also asked about Adli and we're looking to buy Adli from Milan

1387
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:15,000
and we're also linked with Rebic. I would love to see Rebic at Salernitana. Give me 100%

1388
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:21,880
give me Rebic Adli left wing and attacking mid for Salernitana. That would be crazy man. So yeah

1389
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:26,120
that's pretty much it for Salernitana they've not made many moves. I think they're waiting for the

1390
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:30,440
Dia deal to go through because that will give them some cash to actually play around with. Exactly.

1391
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:37,320
I don't know if the players express desire to stay or to leave or anything it's quite low key at

1392
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:42,920
the moment you know under the radar we'll see what happens. Yeah we will see it's still exciting

1393
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:48,280
times for Salernitana. Lecce is the next team we're going to be covering when it comes to the

1394
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:54,520
players that have lost have lost Simone Romagnoli who's off to Prozignone and also Tomasso

1395
01:23:54,520 --> 01:24:00,840
Cassandro who's off to come for around 500 000 euros. What comes to the players that have brought

1396
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:06,440
in nothing really to write home about here for Lecce they have Lorenzo Venuti who joined from

1397
01:24:06,440 --> 01:24:12,440
Fiorentina on a free that's actually a decent signing for them the 27 year old right back he

1398
01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:18,920
has 115 games in Serie A for Benevento and Fiorentina and also has four assists over there it's a

1399
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:26,040
valuable experience for Lecce something that they struggled with Serie A experience last season

1400
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:32,040
so it's good seeing them bringing in a player of this caliber Lorenzo Venuti to Lecce on a free.

1401
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:41,720
Zinedine Smilovic is the second player that they signed this season from Tabi FK for around 100 000

1402
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:47,240
euros he's a 19 year old centre back who's known for his technique athleticism and size in that

1403
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:54,360
centre back position however he's quite inexperienced he will be Lecce's defensive

1404
01:24:54,360 --> 01:25:00,280
joker and we'll probably see him little this season but the giallorossi believe in him and aim

1405
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:07,880
to make him grow at home he scored five goals in 13 games for Etta Nora all goals all of these

1406
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:13,000
goals were of a certain technical prowess and Lecce have wanted a big centre back for a while

1407
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:19,160
just like they bought Bjornsson in 2021 and obviously since they lost somewhere um Titi

1408
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:25,720
then maybe he will be a direct replacement for him over there yeah we'll see definitely

1409
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,520
they're definitely gonna feel the loss of um Titi let's hope they can hold on to Basquerato

1410
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:35,480
because there are many suitors who are after him let's remember that Lecce are no longer managed

1411
01:25:35,480 --> 01:25:42,200
by Baroni they have Daversa as their manager former Sampdoria and Ascoli Man and Strefetzah is

1412
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:47,560
wanted by many clubs as well they would want to hold on to their little gem over there they have

1413
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:54,600
set his they've set the asking price for Strefetzah to 10 million euros only 10 million euros I think

1414
01:25:54,600 --> 01:26:00,840
that's their price is 15 15 18 million why not yeah I think so they also you could do good business

1415
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:06,200
then you can definitely they've also redeemed Falcone from Sampdoria for four million euros

1416
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:11,240
Sampdoria making some good money from Sarajevo I genuinely think we'll see them back very soon

1417
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:17,160
probably probably they've brought Fabio Borini in bro there you go bro um yes I think Lecce

1418
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:22,200
still need defenders and strikers to be honest um we'll see what happens over there another slow

1419
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:29,880
market for for them to be honest seeing how their performances were in the latter stages of last

1420
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:36,040
season after their very good start and the loss of Umtiti and the fact that they haven't really

1421
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:42,280
shaken things up Baroni bro who was a great manager I'm not too hopeful for the last season

1422
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:50,200
but it's not even match day one so I'm not going to say anything yeah um they were very defensively

1423
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:56,440
sound last year of course they had Umtiti they had a different manager they never conceded more than

1424
01:26:56,440 --> 01:27:03,960
two goals in a game up until the very last matchday of this season yes but yeah um next up we have

1425
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:12,600
Helas Verona who have brought in Jordi Imbola from Mallorca on a free he's a right winger 23 years

1426
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:19,560
old he had 35 games with two goals and two assists across France Spain and Portugal still young still

1427
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:25,640
raw he will definitely have his opportunity to impress over here Ricardo Sapanara was brought

1428
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:29,480
in from Fiorentina and you know how we feel about him he can play as an attacking midfielder he can

1429
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:35,560
play as a left winger he's 31 years old known for his creativity his shooting and his high

1430
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:41,880
footballing IQ he had four goals and three assists last season with Fiorentina he's played 217 games in

1431
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:48,040
Italy with 30 goals and 36 assists in total you know what you're getting here you're getting a high

1432
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:54,760
IQ player now Helas Verona have let Tamese go to Tarina for 2.8 million and they've also let

1433
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:03,240
Ibrahim Sulemana go to Caleri for 4 million as you mentioned earlier as well um Hemat Abdelie

1434
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:09,960
is on the radar for many teams Helas Verona being one of them again the Algerian class of 99 player

1435
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:20,200
who plays for Angers in League on um Michael Follor Follorunzo remains a concrete goal for Verona

1436
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:26,280
um the Napoli midfielder who was a major protagonist at Barri last year with nine goals and four assists

1437
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:31,640
and is currently being evaluated by Garcia so more on this player to come in the near future

1438
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:38,360
keep an eye out for him we'll see what happens over there the next team we're going to be covering

1439
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:45,720
is Frazzinione who won Serie B last season after they were managed by Fabio Grosso however they are

1440
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:52,680
now being managed by Di Francesco and the players that they've lost are Daniel Bologa who's joined

1441
01:28:52,680 --> 01:29:00,040
Saswolo for 10 million Roberto Ancinie who is off to Palermo I wonder who he's related to and

1442
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:06,280
Matteo Ricci who has joined Sampdoria or jokes aside Roberto Ancinie the brother of Lorenzo

1443
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:11,320
Ancinie is actually quite a decent talent when it comes to the players that they have brought in

1444
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:18,120
they've brought in Ricardo Marchizza from Saswolo for 1.5 million the 24 year old left back he has

1445
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:26,920
54 Serie appearances and for assists he's represented Saswolo Empoli Roma and Spezia another player

1446
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:33,880
that brought in is Marco Brescianini from AC Milan on a free but Milan have a 50%

1447
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:40,200
cell on close this is the 23 year old central midfielder known for his passing he was a key

1448
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:46,360
player for Cossenza in Serie B last season he was at Monza the season prior but only made

1449
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:52,840
five appearances in that season where they got promoted to Serie A. Devoso signed Simone

1450
01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:59,400
Romagnoli from Lecce as we discussed earlier the center back and Devoso signed Marvin Cciuni

1451
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:05,240
from Bayern Munich on a free he is a 20 year old striker known for his finishing pace and athleticism

1452
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:14,200
he is German and Albanian he's in a stature of 188 centimeters he scored 19 goals in 34 appearances

1453
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:19,560
at 19 years of age in the fourth division of Germany nine goals in 32 games in the third league

1454
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:24,680
in Germany last year as well now we'll see what he does in the biggest stage in Italy

1455
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:32,040
it's gonna be tough it's gonna be it's gonna be very tough but you know he's a Bayern Munich

1456
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,600
youth product exactly that's their style and therefore exactly just like Zerchsee yeah

1457
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:44,680
and and fucking what was his name uh Quisans no no bro the Stryker yeah there was a striker

1458
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:51,240
Albanian he played for Spezia oh we we spoke about him recently Piaka no I can never remember his

1459
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:57,640
stupid name he was so shit bro Albanian he had the boom boom boom boom celebration the machine

1460
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:04,920
was an Albanian Bayern Munich youth product what the hell was his name Manai Manai Manai

1461
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:14,200
not Piaka Manai Manage yeah Nicky Manage he was shit you're right um Georgie

1462
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:26,920
there's a stop in there Georgie Gvernadze from Dinamo Batumi on loan with an option to buy

1463
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:33,160
he's a 20 year old left winger um un-inverted left winger many teams were interested in him

1464
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:38,120
he played for the same club as Gvaratskjellj obviously Dinamo Batumi also plays in the same

1465
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:43,720
position as Gvaratskjellja um he has three goals in 24 games in the Georgian league in 2022

1466
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:49,720
zero goals in seven games last season and he also has the same agent as Gvaratskjellja so

1467
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:57,160
maybe some wishful thinking here by by Georgie three yeah because there is

1468
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:03,320
yes so there's Gvarat there's Georgie yeah

1469
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:13,560
god bro god well no there were like like like like he's relegated so that leaves two

1470
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:19,000
exactly never mind um they also signed and this is probably the player most familiar with over

1471
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:26,680
here apart from Markitza and Roman Joli um Abdu Harui from Saswalo for 2.5 million the 25 year

1472
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:34,040
old central midfielder he has 101 games in Serie A he's got 18 goals and 13 assists for Sparta

1473
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:39,960
Rotterdam he's got 40 games for Saswalo with two goals and he is a midfielder with offensive skills

1474
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:46,920
and can in fact also adapt well to the role of a winger and or attacking midfielder so it's good

1475
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:52,680
at least to see that for Zignone have made some signings with some level of Serie A experience

1476
01:32:52,680 --> 01:33:01,560
with Simone Roman Joli with Ricardo Markitza with Harui and and also you know a Milan youth

1477
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:09,480
product with Brescianini so they've moved decently in in the market they want to buy a french player

1478
01:33:09,480 --> 01:33:18,200
called Costa del Tolosa who I don't know much about um they also want to um ri by Ravanielli

1479
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:22,120
who returned to Cremoneza he was on loan with them they're interested in the young talent of

1480
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:28,920
Inter Milan called Fabian WB okay and they're also interested in Caviglia of Juventus and Maya

1481
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:36,920
of Bordeaux or Maja I'm not quite sure probably Maya yeah um moving on to Genoa Genoa have brought

1482
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:43,080
in a player who is very similar to Krishito those of you who remember Krishito yes this is Aaron

1483
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:49,480
Martin they've brought him in from Mainz on a free transfer he's a left back he's 25 years old

1484
01:33:49,480 --> 01:33:54,680
he's known for his um attacking prowess he's crossing his pace um he's played in La Liga and

1485
01:33:54,680 --> 01:34:02,280
Bundesliga for Espanol, Celtaviga and Mainz he's played 28 games last season um and scored five

1486
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:08,440
goals and got three assists so he's a good one for fantasy football those of you who play um Mateo

1487
01:34:08,440 --> 01:34:16,360
Retegui the new Italian hot talent was bought from Bocca Juniors for 15 million euros he's a striker

1488
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:21,480
he's 24 years old known for his goal against Malta for his goal against Malta exactly the

1489
01:34:21,480 --> 01:34:28,680
destroyer of Malta he was on loan at Tigre in Argentina and was owned by Bocca Juniors youth

1490
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:35,080
academy basically um 21 appearances 11 goals and one assist last year very raw player but of course

1491
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:39,880
15 million is a bit expensive for a player who hasn't proved much but the fact that he's Italian

1492
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:45,880
and that he's under 25 look at Richie Richie is asking price of 30 million but Richie's done it in

1493
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:50,760
a big league man yes yes you're right but but I'm just saying that they fit under the same kind of

1494
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:56,920
thing that boosts them by 10 million um today you sent me a photo of Retegui and you and you sent

1495
01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:03,800
me a cartoon that he looks like who was it I guess it was Ed from Ed the yellow one thank you I don't

1496
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:12,360
which one Ed is no but it could be any of them double D um Manolo Portanova has been sold to

1497
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:18,920
Reggiana despite being sentenced to six years in prison last year for gang rape with his uncle

1498
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:25,800
with his uncle and the 17 year old boy fucking hell Francesco Cassata has gone to Spezia

1499
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:32,280
Lenard Siss Borra has gone to PECS oh I remember Siss Borra yeah who was Siss Borra at previously

1500
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:40,040
Genoa Genoa ah there you are and Stefan Osteraro left on a free I would have tried to keep him if I

1501
01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:45,960
were Genoa he's the record transfer but apparently they couldn't agree a deal um Genoa an interesting

1502
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:52,760
team guys they are probably here to stay in Serie A they have new owners 777 partners they are American

1503
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:57,800
and therefore rich and they are interested in Meita from Benfica Valeri from Cremonesi and

1504
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:05,560
Hubs from Venezia Zanuoli of Napoli is the hottest rumor as well I want to Genoa in Serie A for two

1505
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:11,320
reasons number one they are a team with a lot of pedigree a team that belongs in Serie A a team with a

1506
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:17,720
rich history in Serie A and I want them there for as long as possible I have a significant soft spot

1507
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:23,000
for the team number two I want to listen to the Lanterna podcast where they cover Serie A football

1508
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:30,040
I don't want them to have to cover Serie A football but it is nice it is nice it's a podcast

1509
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:37,640
we love it like but but for for their enjoyment like I certainly hope that they get to cover Serie A

1510
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:42,040
next year. Serie A man they have a problem with highlights man as well yes they can only release

1511
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:47,560
highlights like three weeks after a game played or something it's ridiculous yes let's do

1512
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:53,480
Kalyari bro but yes the last team we're going to be covering this was fun is Kalyari Kalyari

1513
01:36:53,480 --> 01:36:59,720
haven't sold a single player yet as far as we're concerned and but doesn't seem like it they signed

1514
01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:06,440
Tomasso Augello from Sampdoria for two million you know what you're getting with Augello he has

1515
01:37:06,440 --> 01:37:13,640
127 games for Sampdoria with four goals and 11 assists he's a young solid and reliable player

1516
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:18,520
he's got a lot of character as well when I say young he's 27 it's just the fact that he was a

1517
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:30,920
physics student three years ago. He's a very smart lad. Yes yes also as we mentioned previously

1518
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:39,240
Ibrahim Soleimana has joined from Hellas Verona for four million euros he's a 24 year old center

1519
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:45,720
back known for his talent in the air his pace and his interceptions he's from the Atalanta

1520
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:52,680
nursery and Verona Primavera he's got 735 minutes played in Serie A 17 appearances with Verona's

1521
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:59,400
under 19s last year too getting a goal and three assists and controversial deal as four million

1522
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:05,160
is a lot for Kalyari and this boy doesn't give many guarantees but hopefully it will be a risk

1523
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:11,560
worth taking for them. Eldor Shumorodov is probably the player of the highest caliber that they have

1524
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:17,960
signed and he signed from Roma on a loan with an option to buy the 27 year old striker didn't

1525
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:25,160
manage to really insert himself at Roma or Spezia for that matter last season and however he has

1526
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:30,920
four goals and four assists for Roma over two seasons eight goals and one assist for Genoa in

1527
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:37,400
2020-2021 and as I said previously a shit spell at Spezia last year but he is a player with a lot

1528
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:42,920
of flair and he is a dangerous player he's skilled in the air and he does have a rocket in his pocket

1529
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:48,120
so hopefully this will be the season that he brings it. I think this next one is their best signing

1530
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:55,960
not bad but Shumorodov is definitely the highest caliber but Jakub Jankto has joined from Hetafe

1531
01:38:55,960 --> 01:39:03,320
he returns to Serie A he is a central midfielder who has also played out wide before he's 27 years

1532
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:09,720
old fantastic work rate on this guy his last season it wasn't 2020-2021 with Sampdoria where he

1533
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:15,800
played 35 games and got six goals and three assists and he also played for Udenerze where he had 182

1534
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:23,560
games in the top flight with 17 goals and 20 assists and he's also known for being gay. Yes he is the

1535
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:30,840
first openly gay football player and we support him and we love him. Exactly Simone Skoufé has

1536
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:38,760
joined Kalyari. Skoufé I know Skoufé the goalkeeper yes he is in fact the 27 year old goalkeeper

1537
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:46,680
and that signed from club Kluj for 800k he is going to be the substitute of Radonovic definitely

1538
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:52,120
because Radonovic had too good a campaign last year for him not to start for Kalyari this season

1539
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:59,400
he does have 40 Serie A appearances Skoufé. Skoufé was he with Udenerze? I think there was another

1540
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:05,080
player bro who was called Skoufé. I'm just checking real quick and yes he was at Udenerze

1541
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:13,720
from 2013 to 2021 where he got his 40 appearances in Serie A actually so a bit of ball knowledge from

1542
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:19,640
from your boy Matt nicely over there thank you very much and so yeah some some good experience

1543
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:26,760
maybe he'll be a good coach for Radonovic because I don't think he'll be this displacing him I really

1544
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:32,840
don't think he will be probably not he's a very good goalkeeper but it is important to have a

1545
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:40,520
vice and a vice with some level of experience but yes that is our transfer run down so far

1546
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:46,520
done hopefully this won't be too irrelevant within the next five days I'm thinking about

1547
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:50,760
15 minutes now something will happen probably let's see let's see if anything's happened

1548
01:40:55,320 --> 01:41:01,800
okay so Balatour has snubbed Fulham Schoukwézer will wear the number 21 for Milan very exciting

1549
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:07,160
Milan and Bechikta are negotiating for Rebic. Salary seems to be an issue over there. Yes

1550
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:12,040
Fjordin are after young Croatian talent this all happened like within the last 40 minutes

1551
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:18,280
that's crazy man why don't we shut the fuck up and post this so we're not too ridiculously
