Premier League Predictions, Arsenal’s Star Search & United’s Midfield | Stick to Football EP 145

However, everyone, everyone is on vacation.No one supports us in the preseason, right?

Oh, there's no audience today.

Oh, I'm sorry, friend.Whenever you want.

Obviously, it's great to see the cameramen.

It's good to see everyone.Have a good summer.

See you.No, you know what I mean.Go on.Oh, you're not invisible.That's what I mean.You're still walking, right?

No, I went to the next one.I'm supposed to go, you know, you think or not.

Did you see someone like, did you see Calvin Harris or something?

Or not.

Oh, that's the best part.

Nothing to say.No, I didn't see Calvin Harris.When I was, I mean his presentation, not just there.

And you'll see if you're a great Kegan.We have to do that show.

Very sad.

Webby.My friend Webby used to sit there.

Obviously, I had to find out how horrible that was.

I woke up with that at 12 and a half in the morning on a safari and, my God, it leaves you aside.Something.I went to the United States.My friend Clyde grew up.I went to his funeral.Suddenly.

Take care, Claudio.

Lucky, lucky, you'll see.

What a player.Did you see the videos?I hate it.You know, I heard about him.You know, what happens is that he was so, so small.

He didn't look like a player, you see.

I think that was the question.

He also smoked cigars.I'm sure someone said, because he just seemed like a little guy who smoked all the time.

Who is the most influential defense of all time?Is it someone like Beckham, Bauer or Ronald Koon or Nibalesi?

Beck would probably be both, but the people made lists, you know, the best defenses of all time and the impact of Nibalesi can probably enter there.

I had a shirt, that's the shirt I was talking about.

Yes, I had a...

What did I have in it?You didn't talk about that.

many games did he play?More than 700.

Oh, so he stays with them and then comes back.So I think that's why he looks like that, obviously.

To stay with them, you mean?

He stays a little with them and then, you know, he comes back and that's that team, right?

It's the same as Omen.

And he went down with them, you know what I mean?

I think they all had that stage, that when they went down, they stayed, they came back.

You think so?

Kevin Keegan.

That was very sad.Really?Going back to what I said about Brass.

When you think of Keegan, you think, we all think of the four or five things you remember, like the European Cup, Liverpool, the Golden Ball, things like that.I'm sure this is correct.When Southampton left.He won the first player of the year at the PFA, that's not something you've never seen.So when it was happening, I think Southampton ended second in that season behind Liverpool.But again, not playing for one of the best teams in the league and being the best player in the league.

Oh, the hamburger was gone.The hamburger wasn't like, obviously they weren't Bayern Munich, but they weren't destroying everything either.It went there.

But he talked about the economic aspect of that, you know?At the time, with a lot of honesty, of course.Securing financially with that movement.

¿Qué hay de cuando él se va?

Recuerdo que antes de su último partido con el Newcastle, se sube al helicóptero.Fue ese partido contra Alemania donde renunció en el túnel.

¿Recuerdas eso en el vestuario?Ese micro...we ended up going to Munich in the other game and we won 5 -1.

What is it?So I hope I said it right.So I think that's the first game of the qualifier.So England loses, and three days later, only one of the qualifiers.Yes, I think that was the first game.True.

Or the last game in the old Wembley.It was the last game.A great game for England.The old one.

But it was like that at the end of a campaign where it was...

But there was a game again three days after the visit in Finland, and Howard Wilkinson came in.I remember.

So it was that he just made the decision.

Is he an emotional guy?

Maybe he has a prejudice.

I think it was the criticism after the Eurocup that didn't go well, and then he was receiving a lot of criticism for that game, and it was just...

Always be honest with England.I was relatively consistent with England, but I played very badly in that year after the treble, the 2000.I was terrible in it.I was terrible with England.And I always felt that I disappointed him.I always felt that I left him.

You know, you don't play well for someone.It was the first time that I really didn't play well for England.And in that Eurocup, it was terrible.

But the fact that you felt that you disappointed him, you cared about him.Because sometimes there are some coaches who probably just...

He's not a guy you'd want to disappoint.A good shot.I'll do it.

Let's see a little one.

Let's go back to your Sapphire.I'm sorry.How did you enjoy it?Amazing.but it was a leopard safari.Did you see any?

But I didn't see any leopards.

What happened to me?We went to South Africa two years ago.I was looking for you.

I think the leopard went there.My blue nebula just left.

There aren't many things that I think are so therapeutic.They drive for hours.And the idea of anticipation, of thinking that you could see one.eh.It means that we saw bears and elephants and obviously different things, but that was anticipation.No, no, because it was a leopard, it was in Sri Lanka.

Today we did four hours in the afternoon and four hours in the morning, next.So eight hours driving and you know, it's peace.

What did you see that made you say oh?The bears had not seen them in three months.The bears had not seen them in three months.

Do you think they only tell you that?I feel that we went with someone, although we had never seen the five big ones, never.

Seeing them in their natural habitat is incredible.

And obviously you couldn't use your phone.It was weird.

I can imagine.

Do you feel like you've rested enough?Not yet.To go back, you know, it's one of those things where you say, I hope it's next week after.It's been a week, right?

The Premier League this week.How crazy is that?

Jill, you mentioned Disney, and everyone watches movies.I'm going to give you clues if you have to name these Disney movies.You're going to win this trip.

This Disney Award.That's fine.

Yes, we will do it in a different way, as we always do in the section.So this movie, the premiere of these two movies, was directed by John Lasseter.I never get bored of the damn directors, do you?What are you looking at?I'm leaving so when I get to the next clue...I thought that...

Pizza Planet And 10 then.The initials of the main actress are Jodea.

Julie Andrew.

Sound.Air Puppet.

Mary Poppins.Wow.

Good.He's going to be a dude.

You're right.

But he's a cinephile.

Good.

He's not older than us.He's older than us.I only watch children's movies.

I love it.

Good.

The third and last.This movie shares many parallels with William Shakespeare's Hamlet.To be fair, I wouldn't take it out for that, but I mean you could because I understand.

Song that won an Academy Award, the Academy, the best original song in 1990.

The Lion King.

Correct.

That's it.Wow.

It can't be.

Movies.I should do that.You should?No, you should do that.That guy knows CINEMA!What kind of job is that?

You should do things like Barry Norman.And Norman.

But what's your favorite Disney movie?

Because Toy Story.Toy Story.You know, Toy Story is one of the biggest franchises.

Your favorite movie?

I -I saw Spider -Man the other day and...Me too.You did it.You know, and the thing is that I didn't see...

What's going on?You know what I'm saying?

There are so many movies before and things that happen after.You watch a movie and you think, okay, let me wait for the next one to see if I can understand it.There are too many things going on.in the - Have you seen Odyssey?It's Odyssey.

Not yet.

That's a good movie, right?I love it, it's long, right?

I love epic movies like Dune.Dune comes out in November.

I think it's in December.Dune is a star.And something else comes out that same day.I don't remember.What comes out the same day?The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games also comes out, but then there's Doomsday too, but with anxiety.

How do you know you're making this movie?Because I do.

It's going to be out in a few months on Ignite.Doomsday and Dune, the same day.I don't know what happened there, but I can't wait to see them.

And our job here is to analyze those six midfielders and explore them.And first classify which four midfielders we would have as the best in the country and then classify them in the six.I apologize to Aston Villa because we chose the traditional ones.It's a little ignorant because Tottenham signed players of 200 million pounds.We put Tottenham, we put Tottenham.

Why is James Madison in Lapiz?I don't know.Probably nothing good.Do we know why James Madison is in Lapiz?Because we found out about this six hours ago.And sorry, it wasn't something that, sorry, Barry continues.

I would've liked that I don't think they can win the league without him Well, how much was it?

Five.

Do you see any midfielders for 115 million being young?But that's my edition.

I would say two years ago, a year and a half ago.He's an incredible player.I'm a big fan of him.But I'm really surprised with the City.When you think about the risk that Pep leaves on the arrival of Mesa and Rodri as a coach on the field, the idea of letting him go for that money, I just don't understand it.

Listen, let's analyze it in a second, but for me, without a doubt, jumping to the worst midfield for me is the Man City.So there you have four.Are you talking about winning league titles without even talking about Man City?

Kostova Ivela against Larsen in the Charity Shield.Kovacic has been a player, but I mean...He surprised me.His legs are no longer the same as they were.

I think he's more of a player to come in for a change.I don't think he's going to be a...

That young player they brought in and who looked great in the World Cup.He's only 18, 19 years old.I think they're asking too much of him.And Anderson.It's a lot to ask for.

I think Phil Foden, you know, can...

He always looks good.Can I say something quick?

I know he was good in that case.

How long will you keep waiting for him?

He hasn't had a good season.You can't say that.Going back to the topic of Rodri, I'm really surprised that they let him go for 60 million.They keep him for a year, let him go for free, let him settle down.So no, I'm intrigued that you are happy to give up 60 million.It will be fair to say, due to the risk for the club in the next few years of replacing Pep, I think 60 million can be cheap to keep if they can win the title.

They should, and that establishes, establishes the club.Or they say, listen, we're going to be, it's going to be a year or two difficult anyway, whatever happens, let's take those 60 million, let's take advantage while we can.

I think it's so big that I don't know, but I don't think any of us, or certainly I don't think City can win the league this season without him.I think that if Rodri was there, he would say that they are the other team besides us.So I think they could do it.I think.Seriously, he leaves that locker room.Imagine the rest of the locker room.

I imagine Marezca, forget Marezca, because he obviously thinks he can fix it, but the rest of the locker room will think, oh no, no.

But if you are, we are talking here unfortunately about the football side in the business and the players who leave for 100 million that they bought and at some point they exclude them and say, well, we have to recover money from somewhere.I think he's a great player, a brilliant player.

But I can try to see how it goes again, it's 64, 65 million, he has 30, he has a year of contract left, now he can't go, he'll let him go for free next year.Would you do it?What happens if the season starts and his head is already somewhere else?You say, you know what?And then you have a new coach with new ideas, you can say, listen, let's let him go, let's accept the loss.

They have lost a little experience, so Bernardo will continue.I think even players like Nathan Ake also, you know, in the locker room, the biggest loss for this club will be?

Obviously Pep, of course, Pep.Then Rodrigo would be very far behind him in terms of those personalities.

I thought they would have kept him for a year just to say, look, obviously we could lose 60 million pounds, but the value of having him is huge.

What do you think of Carras?What do you think of Liverpool's midfield there?

They are all really good individual players and that is what I keep saying about Liverpool.Right now, even in the preseason, The balance in the midfield is not entirely correct.Zoboslai has played more in a mid -center position.So him and Gravenberch, and you can't say they're not, both just signed new contracts, two of Liverpool's best players, and then Florian Wills plays behind them.And as I said, individually you look at them and say they're very good players, but the balance is not right.For me, even before the season starts, it's too easy to go through them.

I think there are too many players for Liverpool, not just in the midfield.You have to think about the attack.I think they'll bring someone.Are they going to bring someone there?I'm not sure.I think Curtis Jones could go, but there are rumors.

Only about the fans, but you would look for someone like Adam Wharton.But again, it's another player who thinks about what you do with the ball.I keep thinking they need someone who thinks about what we do when we don't have the ball.I keep thinking Liverpool could do that.That Santos is there and that B .A.

comes to you.It seems that Royce is coming and he's doing really well, which seems very likely.Would you say then that Manchester United has a good midfielder?

I think so, but that's a good way of saying it.A good midfielder if your goal is to win the league.I still think he's missing.

This episode of Stick to Football is presented by Disney+.

Barry, but in the United States and you have these guys very privileged in this environment of crime.

A serial killer melodying, they try to discover and think if they are not sure if it is one of them, a new guy arrives in the city.

And there is a police officer trying to find him or a detective.Well, the guys also try to solve it.It's good.Yes, it's good.I love these complete series.

It's good.Honestly, you see the first and you say, wait a second, who is doing it?

It's Cindy Crawford's daughter, right?Her name is Kaia Gerber.Richard Kirsch's son comes out in her.And they take Rachel Wood.It all comes out at once, or is it not?No, it's like, it's staggered.

So there are a few now.You get in, you get hooked, and then you come back for more.Are you one of those people who watch them episode by episode?I'm the end, I prefer to watch them all at once.No, no, I've started this, so every week it's just like a clock.I always think about these psychological thrillers, and I've seen some recently, the smart ones.

What are the writers of these things, and how do they tie it all together?In the end, you have to be a little genius, don't you think?You have to be able to connect the beginning of each scene to make a program for Disney Plus.You really have to be a little genius.It's also produced by Ryan Murphy, who produced American Horror Story and others.If there was a killer in the world of stick to football?

If there was a killer in the world of stick to football, do you think you'd find out who it is?is?

Number one in the corporation.Right away.That's it.BenchArts.New exclusive at Disney+.Honestly, it's a first.

If you think about last summer, they rebuilt the attack line because they signed Ings, Cunha and Sesko.This season they are focusing on the midfield.We have to give credit to United a little for their recent contracts.Obviously they have returned to players who know the Premier League.That's important.And obviously it is the same mentality this year to bring players who may go unnoticed without spending fortune.

But again, some of the best signings of Man United in the last 20 or 30 years have been players who went unnoticed.So it's not always necessarily about spending 100 million on someone.I think these players will be good for Man United, but one thing is to be good, and another is to try to win the league.I think defensively there is the big problem.They did well to ignore them, because obviously they wanted Tallinn and Fernandes, really them and Anderson, but they didn't reach 170 million.I think Anson wanted City anyway, but with Fernandes they definitely wanted them.

But when it comes to 100 million, they did well to say, wait a minute, that's too much, that was everything.And I think the rumors said that if they continued to insist, the prices would continue to rise.So you have to retire, right?And obviously look at his other signings.It seems that United is in that range of buying guys for 50 million.This is entering a different market, Roy.

I know that they have obviously burned out in recent years, but again, they were buying players who were not used to the Premier League.

As for the prices, I'm sorry, Roy, I'm just trying to calculate if you bring someone who is 60 million.65.So what I'm saying is ...That's confirmed, by the way, that usually happens, right?Okay.So, what I'm saying is that those three players are almost the equivalent of the two players that Tottenham has.

I think they thought they needed three and that we have, let's say, 150 million or whatever.And they thought, if you spend 100 million on this,I can't get the other two.Because basically they only had Akimu and Fernandez.Agati obviously is not there.Casemiro is no longer there.

Agati selected Graveme.Forget Fernan.He is more than a 10.So you actually have 4 players.4 players recognized from the first team for 2 positions.The point is that then you have the numbers.

But if you said that the 3 midfielders of United and the 2 of Tottenham.And I said, put them on a list where I think they are.Would you spend 200 million on those 2?The point is that you forget about the money.Wait a minute, let me be at the beginning of that list.If I put them on a list according to my assessment, I think both are better than the three.

Get into that situation because you already did it with Liverpool when they spent a lot of money.You would spend more than 100 million in Tonal and 100 million in Fernández for United.

I would have paid 85 for Fernández.I thought that United must have done it.I understand that he is a little older, I think he will turn 26.I think Fernández is a very good player and I think 85 could seem cheap to me.

With those two signings, I think he's a good player.No, I think he's a good player.I think he's certainly talented, but...Tonal.No, Fernández.Fernandez left the Spurs.

Now I see it, and I know that the players can go down to them.I went down.He comes from two descents.I just asked myself.I think he's a talented boy, there's no doubt about that.But again, we go back to that, and we have to be very careful.

Of course you need talent.But again, I go back to that.The personalities and the character.He has a great job.

He still, but...I, I, Tonali's, I felt that it was...Yes, I'm going to stay with Fernandez.I'm going to stay with that, and yes, I thought that 100 million, wow.You know, and I'm a big fan of Tonali.Fernandez's, because he was so young.

I think he's only 21 years old.People said it was expensive.For me, when I saw him, I thought that I don't think it's so expensive.

But that was one of the deals they told us.The spares apparently.Apparently, the rumor is that they will continue to insist even if...

Can't the Man United assume that and the United thought they wouldn't get an auction here?Look where the Man United is, where they are buying.So what you're saying is that the Man United can't assume the blow of trying to get a ton of money.

I think what happened was, I mean, he got, I'm not a fan, but he gets injured, but he gets injured.Basically he was left alone in the midfield.They need 3 because he probably has 50 games this season, 55 games.So I think they thought they needed 3 and we have to make sure to try, if we are already 110 million in Tonali or almost 90 million in Fernandes, it will not work with both.And they needed that extra player.They needed an extra player.

I think otherwise they would have had everything.

So I think that's why they did it.They have chosen three good players instead of, let's say, two a little better.Do you know what I mean?

I think there is a reason for that side.

No, I can also see the logic in that.Of course you have to do it.That's where you are.That's where they are.I know I understand where they are going.

Were you happy with Tillemans?Because I do think he's a constant player in the Premier League.You know, sometimes you bring players and they need a season to adapt.I think you know what you're going to get from him.I like him.

And I like him.I think he's a good player.But again, if we talk about United, that's in midfield.I think it's interesting what you said, Ian, because I think if you...

In the past, United was there, Tottenham was there, right?In terms of the players that almost attract you.It almost seems, I don't know how many years ago, that it would be the other way around where United would go to look for Telly Fernandez and Tottenham would have to agree with the others and say, well, we can't get the ones in the first category.We have to get the ones that are a little below.I think the two that they would have probably wanted two or three months ago would have been Anderson and Fernandez.They were the two that I think they would have thought were the indicated ones, but the site obviously made a deal with Anderson.

to move to Manchester City.So you can't do anything about it.

You know, when I look at that, what I'm really, I'm not disconcerted, but it's like he chooses the City over United, especially now that Rodri is gone and Pep is gone and Pep is gone.It seems that it is a slightly bigger bet that he has taken, when he had the ability to maybe wait, I don't know, I don't know.You know, the fans of the city, I remember when I mentioned that the fans of the city say, what do you mean by that one should not go to United?

But hey, these younger players do not see Alman United as we used to see them, without a doubt.You have Alman United and Al City, obviously he is still a young player, the last 4, 5, 6 years.He is looking at Alman City and seeing the other team that wins all the time.I don't think Alman United has that anymore.I don't think so, it no longer has that appeal for some of its players.So you could tell Anderson, as I would tell him, go to Alman United and help rebuild Alman United.

He will say, what haven't they done and all these guys?

But they prefer Alman City.But they are doing it.Everyone is doing it, and again, I guarantee you that you are doing a lot.I could be wrong, probably.Much more salary in the City than in the United.

Where do you think Anderson fits in?Do you think he has to play as one of two, or could he play that lonely role of Rodri?

I don't think he has the discipline for that.

But to learn it?

Of course.Well, it could be.But he has to learn fast.But I think that at the moment, at his age, I think that the discipline will come as he gets a little older.But I think that for now, even if you see him in England, he does pursue things.

Yes.

You want to have that discipline.Well, that would have helped to learn from him.

It was interesting the role he had in the charity shield, right?Where he was almost in that position of Kevin De Bruyne, right?Where he was more ahead when I saw him with England and I don't know if he talks like that in the ball, Roddy, where he moves from one side to the other.But I think he's the kind of player that when I see him with England and not in the forest, he always wants to have the ball.He always paints it like that.

And when I was watching him in the game, it's almost as if...It's happening there and I'm out of that.

I don't know what you mean.So I don't know if Roddy's game means that he fits in there, or if he plays that deeper error again.

He has to learn, which will undoubtedly go back and move away from the defenses.The first level defenders say,

But they needed him to do that a bit like a substitute.

That's exactly my point.But my point is, now work with better players, saying, I can do that, don't worry, I can play between lines, you just need to be braver and also be brave enough when you don't have hundreds of touches, saying, but when I get there, don't worry, I'll do it, I'll do it.

He'll have to learn that, right?Remember when he had to learn it fast in the city?But I think he didn't have time to learn it, so I hope he has time, because the only way to learn it is by really playing in that position.

Learn it fast, yes, sometimes you have to learn it fast, Obviously, Pep's bet, when he looked at these players coming in, saying, you're too slow, and they got these Philips, I saw them, they had opportunities in some cup games, he thought, you don't have to speed up, you know, you don't have to speed up, you know, we can't, we can't wait.Sometimes there are only a few games and they're already discarding you.But of course, imagine when you get to United, and obviously you're a great talent, it's a huge fee, but you get to the team and you have Paul there, you have Brian Robson there, you think about Anderson arriving now, he's going to lose to Rodry.I mean, your job would have been easy in United, having them.Oh God, it was a nightmare.

You arrive, obviously you're in the team, but you have these experienced players by your side, and then this guy is there alone, and then he's there alone.You expect him to do it on the first day, but then it's a huge price, because now it would cost 120, 130, 140 million.You would be.I just think that losing Rodri makes Anderson's job not impossible, not very difficult.It makes his job very difficult.

But if you're Rodri, well, let's look from Rodri's point of view.Maybe he had decided to go to Madrid, or originally to Barca, originally to Barca.

You know, wanting to go back, family things, I remember my last year, I like the security of a 4 or 5 -year contract, we don't know.the dynamics of each rope.This episode of Stick to Football is brought to you by Disney.

that you're going to take everything that happened there and say, oh Arsenal is going to beat us.But signing him, I think Solís too, signing.Solís too, it's a good signing, but I'm a little worried about it.We need more, you know what I mean?Obviously the agreement, right?That's what I hope, that's what I hope, because I don't want to judge, I don't want to judge, I don't want to judge.

Get Saksa, I hope that, I hope that.I think it's a good signing.Very good signing, but again, we are built on defense.And that's why when the coach talks about the Champions League, he talks about getting that player, and that's why we probably try to go for Vini.It didn't happen, and I know that was happening.They made a lot of effort for it to happen, because he wants it.

That was never going to happen here, right?Certainly.

I don't know, I just couldn't visualize it in Arsenal.That's all.These guys play all these games, right?But the thing is, it's the ambition of what the coach wanted.We went for that player.Who are they going for now?

Who are they going for now, then, if they finished?Well, I don't know about this.

I still hope they go for someone like Álvaro de Sinova.I would love to know that he will not go to Barcelona and that he will come to us.But if that type of player is available, that's what you want.

Brilliant.Again, what you're saying about...Well, Arsenal is in the same position as United or Liverpool in the 80s when you win things and you can simply choose.You don't have to buy 6 or 7, you don't have to have money.You talk about how United needs 3 midfielders.And I simply say, no, we only bring one, the best in that position, you know.

Declan Breisner is a great signing, bring him from Newcastle, please.

I think his arrival, like Edgar's, will raise the level of the team as well.I think I see that.

I think, going back to what the coach said about what he wants to build and the players he tries to bring, because we need that forward, as he said, what he said after the Champions League against Paris Saint -Germain, we competed well but they lacked that extra something in the last third, you know what I mean?

He's still not a starter, that's what they need.

That's what we need to build and that's what the coach wants.And that's what the coach wants.It looks like he's getting players right now.

As if they want to win the league.

Yes, they want to win the league, but I think we need to try to find that signing, that striker, that really, really...

I agree.I say it, would Vinicius fit in the Arsenal?Would he fit in with the group?And...

It's so different, it's the type of player that you hear what happens in the locker room, that doesn't get along with this one, doesn't get along with that one.The coach that came has had problems with that coach, but...The money they offered him, what he wanted 18 months ago, apparently when he went to that big meeting, what they gave him, oh he goes to this meeting, and they gave him twice what he asked for.So suddenly, all the problems of the dressing room disappeared.Suddenly Amal trained.I want to see what happens with Real Madrid now, because he signed with them, with all his problems, but he did it for the money, because he's going to stay there, so he could have come.

I see it, because obviously being a fan of Arsenal, I dream that this can happen, because That's what takes you to that level.Aureus is incredible for Premier League.

I mean, we don't really have that many superstars, but you're talking about inside the field and not outside of it.Of it.

No, I'm just talking in general about how you fit into the group in terms of this kind of dynamic, the spirit they have, and the...

But in terms of the field, when you think about the strength of Arsenal, the extremes are sometimes in positions.On the side, and it's very difficult to play against Arsenal, or score against them, or score against them.And that's, I think, the decision that Arteta should make if he gets a superstar.I mean, when you have someone in that category, it's like Liverpool.uses Salah, so to speak.You know, he's a superstar, don't ask him to go down all the time.

Larsen would lose a little on a defensive level, but you're winning something.That's the risk, that's what I'm saying.But I think to win the Champions League, right?I think to win the Champions League, you have to get someone, create someone, who is the superstar.But to win the Champions League, I still think they need something more.

And that's what he recognizes, did you notice when he finished?Sometimes he walks around.He's like that day thinking, if he had had that move, maybe he would have won this game.

True.Last week, watching the game, Miles Lewis Kelly obviously played in the midfield and then the rumors in the last few days that United could sign him as a reserve in the midfield and on the left.

That can't work.That's not going to happen.Something else.Can I be honest?I don't know where that comes from, because I know for sure that it doesn't come from his team.I know it doesn't come from his mother.

Arsenal fans have to calm down with his mother.Saying that his mother is offering out there, Maiz has already said that he is happy to stay.Why?Why has Arsenal simply said that it is not for sale?Great signing for United.Of course it would be a great signing for United.

Look what happened.

Things like that do not come to light without some background.

Nothing is happening.And this is again what worries me about Arsenal, the way we are doing business now.How does this story arise when we know for sure that they want to stay and are happy?Martinelli, Martinelli, no one from the club has contacted him, but they have offered him everywhere.Who is doing that?

I read a newspaper article the other day, you know?Talking about Arsenal, which obviously has spent a lot of money in recent years.They almost said they need a sale.I don't know if it has to do with the FFP or whatever.Almost.You know, they need one.

So I didn't know if being a local player they want direct cash.

No, but the point is, James, you say we need to sell.How can we then try to sign Vinny Junior?We tried to break records to hire him, but now we talk about how desperate we are to sell.What's going on?

Well, I don't know if we lose, but each club has to square their accounts.No, it's not like that!it's about the players.You can't have 30 players.I still have a large squad.We don't have a large squad.

Obviously, some players have to leave and it seems that everyone who leaves Arsenal is going to Turkey, that's something else.Well, think about it, you know?Do you know how I see it?I mean, I'd be surprised, but he has Calafiori and, my God, who else plays on the left side?And then in midfield, obviously he has two or three there.I wonder if he thinks he can get 60 or 70 million for him.

I ask the question because United...

Yes, but of course you're going to think that.Because the unfortunate thing that happens when you have a player who leaves the academy and arrives to the first team doing what he does is that they always have that pure benefit label.So it's the same thing that's happening with Nketiah.I'm hearing now that they're not going to sell him, they're going to give him up, which makes me very happy because I don't think he's ever had a streak to try to play in that team.So when you have someone like Myles, someone who's playing well, you've seen how this guy has played.You've seen how he's played, you know, in the games in which he entered last season against Fulham.

And then, you know, when you look at Fulham, then the Champions League, then the game against West Ham outside.Forgive that Champions League and playing incredible what he is able to do, he does it to me.Of course, the Man United is looking to see if something can happen because they have seen him reach Guimaraes, they have seen Declan Rice.

They need a side, the United need a left side and they need strength in the midfield, which is perfect for that.

I think the part of the midfield more than anything.

But the thing is that, again, he doesn't want to leave, he doesn't want to leave.And that's what really confuses me, why Arsenal doesn't come out, just to say that the sale is not there.What happens to 200 million for him?Well, probably because it's pure profit, you know what I mean?Probably, probably everyone is on sale.

Everyone is on sale.Yes, but he doesn't want to leave.Arsenal would say that because they know that at some point...You know, when United called for everything about Wendell Rooney, what do you think?They said it was on sale.

They said we would put it on sale.

That's what happens.But that's United.And look where United is.We don't argue about that.

Find out in the podcast.

Last question.Sounds great.You can add Jordan Henderson to that Chelsea midfield, obviously.On paper, you know, it's a good contract on paper.If you put Jordan Henderson there, does Chelsea have the best midfield on paper?

Is Larsen's the best midfielder?

No, I'm asking the question.Caicedo, Fernandes, Lavia, Henderson, Rodgers as players?As players?I'm just saying.We're talking about the balance between personalities and...But it's a great midfield, right?

Yes, it's a very good midfield.

And do you know where Chelsea is?No, nothing of European football.

But look at those players and it's a bit like last year's Chelsea.You don't know what you're going to get with this group of players.On a certain day they seem outstanding, but they are not consistent, that's for sure.They can be unpredictable.And that Palmer and these guys leaving aside the interest to see what Rogers does there.A great contrast to that.

As for the magnitude of the same.

I mean, fast.

So Arsenal is the number one midfield.Who is the number two midfield then?Would it be Chelsea?Probably Chelsea, Chelsea maybe.Yes, but Chelsea convinced.United would be third.

United third if they come and live?Well, I don't know.Just because, well, probably.Liverpool.A good midfielder.

I think it's good.In fact, I look forward to seeing the top.

I think if Viva comes, I would put United probably at the level of Liverpool.It's difficult.

Yes, Liverpool's midfielder is very good.

So, would you put Liverpool third over United's midfielder?Although you buy Bruno Fernandes, who is obviously one of the best players in the league, the rest seem to me players of 7 out of 10.But would you put Liverpool above Manchester United's midfielder there?I would put Liverpool above.

For the hair, maybe.

You're Liverpool third, United fourth, and then City.You're amazing with City.That's what they were saying.To be honest, I think I'd put Tottenham.

No, no, no.Tottenham.No, not before Tottenham.Not in the midfield.Not in the midfield of City, Rami.That's incredible.

I'd put United on top of City.I wouldn't put City on top of Tottenham.

You would.

No, no, City right now is a problem.

M is gold.No, I'm just putting them in their position.Where do you put the third?

I think Chelsea.

Do you feel comfortable with that or not?Chelsea third.

And who goes second?No, Chelsea is second, but we still don't know our team and, again, the balance.So, right now, before signings are made...

We should include Henderson.I think he'll be good for the younger players.

I think we can say that Jordan should move now.

Kovacic and Rai for him?Incredible.Incredible.Why would Brentford let him go?Why Brentford?Why does this happen?

I don't know.If he comes to Brentford to do that job and a year later we say, oh, we can move on.He has that.

If he comes to bring that experience, it's very good for the environment.In no way, the CT doesn't even have players there and...Look, how old is he now?He didn't even go to the camp.

The arm injury was...Wow, he still wears the jersey.

Oh, the truth, I felt sorry for that.

What happened?I'll tell you how old he is.You can't skip an advertising panel without getting injured.But slippery.

It's slippery advertising.

Just fast, I say Rai.I'm not happy with...Not just fast.Right now.Rai just moved the CT and the Tottenham.You did that.

Just quickly, regarding your suspicious predictions that we all say that Larsen will win the league, or not, no, that's where we are.Whatever you can.I'm going to go with the 4 or 6 first, but who finishes second this season?But you were trying to put half of it.Yes, we are.But do you want, as a reflection on the second place, who do we think will finish second this season?

It's one thing.I still think.

I still want to go with the City.

I think the City.

I think when you look at Haaland.

So what?You see, you have Haaland, who will be the best, boludo.

That trident is such a good trident.

But I think the Chelsea with ... no.I think the Chelsea will be the City.Chelsea could be in that top 4.

I think Chelsea will definitely be in the top 4.I think Chelsea will be in the top 4.Well, one more question about this and everyone has to answer individually.No.Well, okay.So if you had to sign with a coach to play among the top 6 technical players, who would you sign to play with?

Who would you sign to play with?

Okay, thanks Roy.Which coach of those 6 would you like to play with?Come on Roy, come on.Come back with me.Look, you're not going to negotiate.You're not going to get an anon.

Are you available Roy?You are 24 years old.You sign for 115 million.Do you have to sign with a coach?In the current state.The current situation of the club.

Those six coaches up there are very young.So are you talking about the coaches or the club?The coach.Which coach would you like to play with?I think if I were a player, I would probably go to Alonso.Not only because I know him, but because he won the World Cup.

True.You know, he has had an incredible career as a player as well, and he has done well as a coach.

He has won trophies as well.With Alonso.So you and Alonso.

I think I would actually go to Tottenham.I feel like he's going to do it.I feel like it's exciting.That could be exciting.He's going to improve the team's mentality, and I like that.I think he's in.

Or he could go for Christmas.You know what I mean.No, really.But I do think he'll do a good job.What do you think, Roy?DeServi or Alonso, who do you sign for?

That's an awkward question.

Don't come for us!

Let's go, Roy.Roy King signs for...

Roy King wants to play for him!I'm not Roy.You simply won't sign for a coach, right?No, but with which coach would you like to play with those two questions?So, what team?You're not a coward.

You're not a coward.Come on.You can take the role of Jordan in Chelsea.Maybe.

Alonso.Maybe Alonso.Alonso.Impossible.I'm going to leave.

I'm going to leave.I'm going to leave because you interviewed me until the end of last season.I don't want to leave.It's just his intensity.I think it's that kind of...That's what I think, yes.

I think it's his intensity, his defensive strength.Can I say something?I saw Xavi Alonso giving an interview and it's impressive.

No, he's impressive.And then you, that's without even looking.I'm glad, Esteban.I love that.

It's impressive.Good guy too, by the way.

Yes.Detail.Well, I'm glad we brought the blackboard.It's a great blackboard.Good.Super 6.

This episode of Stick to Football is presented by Disney+.The new season is already here and also Super 6.This season, Super 6 guarantees a millionaire with a prize of one million pounds until he wins.All you have to do is predict the results of six football games Hit the six as you always do, and that million pounds could be yours, Hem.And best of all, playing Super Six is totally free.Send predictions.

Play Super Six and you could start the season a million pounds richer.Older than 18 apply terms and conditions.Okay, let's go.Okay, we're back.Dude, we're back.We won the season.

You know what?By the way, we've won twice in a row.We've won twice.David Moyes won twice.Yes, David Moyes won a transfer.David Moyes came on loan and won 60 points on a weekend.

Let's make a bet.You can take one of our...

We won two years in a row.

We have...Is there a marker for a blackboard?He's the captain.

It doesn't matter.You draw it.We'll put it on.Okay.Everton against Crystal Palace.It could be anything.

This could be anything.Well, no.Welcome back to our Super Six segment.Gary has won the three years.

Thanks.

With Carr.The three years.Yes.So, Roy and Ian Gill.The pressure starts from the beginning.Remember, there are five points for the correct scoreboard and two for the result.

You can play the Super Six app for free.

A prize of a million pounds in each round of Super Six until someone wins.Wow.Therefore, we guarantee that there will be a millionaire this season.Of course, it's free to play.Gary, Jamie, do you want to start?

Crystal Palace, Lucha Presente, Zeddy, Nando.I'm going to do it.Gary, are you going to try it here?I'm going to put 2 -1 for the preseason.Kar, I'll leave this to you.I've seen Leverton in the preseason, not even the Palace, which...

Not even the Palace, the others, you see?Leon, the Palace has lost a lot.I went to my car today.I'm a fan of Leverton.

So it's 2 -2.I'm going to put 2 to Leverton.To Leverton.Thank you.

And we go with a tie.I feel like we should do something different to them.

Yes, that.It's the same.We'll all have the same.One.First game of the season?One -on -one.

I love it.That's your thing.One.Nottingham Forest against Leeds.Saturday, 3 p .

m.That's weird.That's weird.Against Forest.Forest -Leeds.

I know.I know.

You think it's weird?

You know what?

A reason why he left.

If he's not doing well, they'll just fire him, right?

Direct and massive.

It's weird when you leave a president or an owner like Steve and you go to a place like...

I'm not so convinced about it Conviction?I have conviction about it Brentford -Tottenham, Saturday, 5th of May.

Not with, but with winning that.Will that be a good game?You're going to cover those games.No, I'll do Friday, Sunday and Monday.I'm going to go to, we should go to Tottenham.

You have to go home and then come back.

It's Newcastle.Brentford -Tottenham, Saturday, 5th of May.Saturday's game, Tottenham still doesn't have the strikers they want.That's the question.They have the midfielders.

They're going to score.

Oh, you love the draw.Defensive sit -down.

I said that about Tottenham.

It's their fans celebrating in that corner.The winner.2 -1 Tottenham.Did you see 2 -1 Tottenham?2 -1 Tottenham.

I'm sure he was there.

Who is?

Tottenham was interested in Gakpo at some point.

He's there.He can score a goal for you.Gakpo.It's very irregular, however.The preseason of the Spurs.

Alguina.They've done pretty well.I think I'll just rely on those two signings.Because maybe there's something about Richarlison, or...

I know, but Brantford is like a kind of machine.

Well, Tottenham's victory.

I don't know.I bet on that.2 -0 Tottenham.I agree.That's too simple as far as you're going to win.

Yes, I'm going with Tottenham.Manchester City against Bournemouth on Sunday.Give me that.Who is this?Manchester City vs Bournemouth on Sunday 2pm.2. Are we still saying that City will win 2 -1?

I think Bournemouth will be good this season.

2 -1. We have two seasons and they weren't good last season.Will it be 16 or 17?

No, that's what I mean.

No, man. I'm not sure if they're just going to...

And we'll be fine after that.2 -1 City.It's over.2 City.2 -1. I think 2 or 3 is a lot.

Don't you think B will have his...I'd say 3rd City.There's a lot of area.

Jalan, first game at home, new coach?No, we should consider the coach, but also the result, because 3 have...Brighton vs Aston Villa on Sunday, 2 -2. Well, they played well in that Super Cup, did you see that game in the Super Cup?

Luisero, Rai de...Good.

Oh, Brighton's magic...

It's out, right?Yes, it's out until September, but...

We have 2 -2. 2 -2. They want to go 2 -2. 2 -2. Look, I think we should go for a...A 3 -0 for Villa, definitely.It's that Villa is going to beat them 3 -0.I think it could be a weird result, like a Villa victory by2. There will be something.We are all a bit predictable here.

You know what?Villa.No, I'm going to choose.We're going with Victor and Villa.

In the Villa then?Okay.3 -1. We can't put another 2 -0.

For the Villa, yes, we've been a little predictable, right?Newcastle against Liverpool?Bingo!It's a great game.That's it.By the way, what's going on in Newcastle?

I know.As a fan of Sunderland, I even feel sorry.

What's going on in Newcastle?You can't feel sorry for him.They're going to play with everyone at the same time.Like Eddie Howard at the same time.And that's it.Oh God.

It's a big loss what they've lost.

They've lost the coach and the team's heart.

Liverpool 3 -1, more or less.I think Liverpool will win by the hair of their heads.-1, but Newcastle will play the game well.There will almost be a better feeling about Newcastle for their performance, but I think Liverpool will bring pessimism.Confirm that everything is in the air, the fans will try to return the soap.I don't think he has to be something important for Keegan to get the fans of both teams.

That lasts five minutes when you're down.I play with 2 -1 for Liverpool.

We are talking as if things were happening.

Thank you very much, Ben.Thank you, Guy.

Thank you.

And remember, you can win a million pounds if you get everything right.Who wouldn't want a million pounds?

Good luck everyone.This episode of Stick to Football is brought to you by Disney Plus.You just have to get that guy out of there.But people vote for that, you know what I mean?And you can see the people who...But that's how it works!

However, those who are against it, I think you just have to move on.What is the Women's World Cup in Brazil.

But they're talking about boycotting the U -20.This is what I don't like, because I know it's for the future generation and all that, but for those players, it could be the only time they play a World Cup.I know that the U -20, but...

Organize a World Cup where the Europeans don't play, but I don't know how the UEFA is going to...How the countries and the players are going to say, okay, I think they'll do it.I think they'll do it.

No, but what I'm saying is, if you're a player and you think, is this my only chance to play in the World Cup?It's something important to say.You know, it's been happening in recent years with FIFA.You're looking at this idea that they're selling the rights.Surely that's what the last World Cups, obviously in the United States, Qatar -Russia, have been doing for years.It's always been about money, right?

That's why people raise their hands.

No, because now it's like an investment issue.Then people will want to recover their investment.An investment that is for everyone.They would actually be owned by FIFA, which is a charitable organization.Income.

The last World Cup.

The breaks to hydrate.The halftime, the start with six minutes behind.It's happening right in front of us.We are football people.But for me, that's the norm.

It's chasing money.It doesn't have to happen.The more money FIFA has, you know?He himself said that there are millions, but like any business, they always want more.It's called greed.

It's to be.He's filling his own holes.That's what he does, because he was going to be the executive director or something like that.He's going to be the boss of that.So when he waits, he can hold on.He's not going to hold on.

I think he just has to move on with him.Don't let him.

Okay, let's move on.What's the only thing that's going to surprise us this season?Remember that at the beginning of each season we do something that I think last season called controversial opinion.I said last season that Liverpool would not finish in Champions League positions.I said that two teams are still up.I think so.

Yes, I think so.What is it?

I think I said Man United.

What is the controversial opinion of this season?What is the controversial opinion?

How is it that your controversial opinions are always incredible?What everyone else has.

Not a controversial opinion.The United will end up among the four best.My God.

No, it was for the Champions League.

I think, I think, I think the four best.I think Chelsea will fight.That was your title.I mean, is that such a big thing?I don't know.I just think about the title, but I don't think about anything else.

they have a really...Joe and Car... proper.There after Christmas.Maybe not so much time, but it means that they could almost be the biggest rivals of Arsenal.Simply because they're not in Europe.This is definitely the most unpredictable league I've seen.

Potential in the last...But I think they've brought it in years.I'm not talking about Henderson or Welbeck.I like the signing of the guys from Crystal Palace.I think he's bringing experience and has played in the Premier League.Morgan Rogers and Palmer, if that works.

I think Pedro is a very good player.A very good player.For the midfield, they still have very good players.There's Fernandez and Caicedo.And if they have a competent coach without European football, that's the reason why I don't think they can go and win something important.But I think they should have a very good season.

Something like that will happen.Chelsea will probably fight.And there will also be a couple of teams that we were looking at well.The coach will be fired for Christmas, I don't know.I think Eddie Howe will have work before Christmas.What work?

I don't know.

I think in Nottingham Forest, the coach will probably just be fired.

Yes, I miss Petra, but no no podemos ir porque no queremos thank you ready for united United elites yo yo voy a postar porque ya recién es cuando ten veinte goles cada uno es una predicción fuerte es una puesta si tengo una opinión polémica Coventry se mantendrá en la categoría que va a ser esta pregunta condición cuál de los equipos creen que más pero que el equipo que tiene más probabilidad de mantener yo voy con el Coventry el Coventry se mantiene es eso todo Jill esa no puede ser de predicción o lo sé sólo digo que lo respeto So Jire's prediction is that Coventry will stay.

You say that Chelsea will fight for the title.I say that Jerez and Cesc will score 20 goals.

Goals in LaLiga.Goals in the Premier League.

I don't know which one is my brother.

You just have to clarify.

But if he scores 20 goals.What if he scores a triple?If he goes with the Man United.

That would be a very risky prediction.

Let's go Ian, let's go Roy.But I wonder, I mean, that's not at all daring.

I don't like it when we get angry, I don't like it when I say that two teams would steal.Who doesn't end up among the six best?That's who will have a season like Chelsea or Tottenham.That's a risky prediction.

Can I say that Sonderham returns to Europe?That's strong.No, I think it's Joshua.

I'm sorry.

I told him it's an opinion that will come back!I'm going to say that the Sunderland will stay in European positions.

I think we still underestimate how brilliant that coach's work has been.I think he's smart enough to deal with it.Top 7!Sunderland in the top 7!Roy, Umm, for my part.Brentford again this year.

You know what?I can have two.I'm going to say that Sunderland is 100.Wow.Wow.I think they're the only team in the Premier League.

Well done, however.You're saying it.They're the only team in the Premier League.Who do you think could have gotten involved just because of playing soccer on Thursday night?Jimmy knows what he's doing.I'm going to bet they'll stay up.

So Jamie and I have to see them every week.Casiman Xacto.I think you had a long night yesterday.That was on Sunday.

I think we'll bring something.

In what position did Brentford end last year?I think they finished eighth.Brentford finished eighth and ninth.

Come on.You must have a singing opinion.Something really out.

Don't go out of the ordinary.Honestly, I've been out of the environment of the future.I've been disconnected.He has a strong opinion.It's just that he doesn't want to say it.

Don't you have an opinion?

No, I do like the commentary thing, staying up.I was going to say that, but Jill can stick with that.Change.Stay up.Stay up.Jill may think it's going to be difficult.

A better one.

Battle.I already have one.If Coventry stays, which team descends?If you think it will be Ipswich or Hull.

Where will Newcastle end this season?That's the next, by the way, the last question.You can think about it while I ask.Where is Newcastle?What position will they end last year?Where did we say last year?

So in what position will they end this year without Howie, without Tonali, without Guimaraes?He has a bad start, I think his coach will be under enormous pressure.Ending where we said last season.I think that coach could, and I hate to talk about coaches and dismissals, but I think he could leave before Christmas.I can say that I think this year.That could be a hot opinion.

There could be chaos in Newcastle.I said, I said it says it's going to Christmas, it won't go back to Newcastle.

So Roy, basically chaos in Newcastle, what if we leave it as a statement?Coach fired before Christmas and in the lower half of the table?

Let's go up there with the coach without much pressure on the coach in October or November.Ben, that's a hot opinion.

Omar Kudrashford, what do we think?I mean, let's open it.Not to mention Rashford.Oh my God.It's as if Trent and Rashford were a small part of the podcast.Trent's part or Rashford's part is Trent.

Oh my God.No, but he has returned to United.And what?Always a player for Man United?What the hell?

You know what?There is always a lot of discourse around Jame.

There is more talk about him than about some of the best players in the history of United.

Apparently.

He's a good guy.Back with.He comes to help the.Well, this is also something.Training on his own in the summer.No, apparently he greeted the woman in the canteen.

No, it has to be the new captain.Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?

Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?

Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?

Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?

Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change his body language?Yeah, but you know what I heard Wes say about him having to change With money.Obviously, the money changes.

It will never happen.

Do you think Rashford will be a starter?

That's the kind of thing.Besides, it's in L .A.They're going to...

Do you think we think I don't care?

Rationally, I would treat Arsenal the same.Rashford, yes, I would.I would.It's something different.

London.I would.In London.It's a different scenario, isn't it?

Relax.Mamucho, what does it matter if he's in London?

He didn't go to Barcelona.He went to Villa.Right away from Manchester to Birmingham.That's the end of the first episode of Stick to Football.That's great.Well done, guys.

It's a pleasure to be back with you.

Well, let's go.This episode of Stick to Football is brought to you by Disney+.

You know, that was brilliant.I'm glad you mentioned it at the end.Demons!

Did you mention it there?I'm not Jamie!

Jamie's eyes...Jamie leaves.

Honestly, everyone who plays English football never gets a mention every week.

Speaking of the teams outside of the top 6, because they feel that everyone only talks about the real one...Top 6.Someone started a podcast without talking about the...

How's your foot doing?

That's weird, I thought you were going to do something.

We could go on for two or three hours just talking about football.Like this.Pull up my Brentford and Brentford.Stop.Brentford would be good.But they're machines in the last row and I think...

Jota, I think it could be the most intriguing and interesting Premier League, but I only see quality and I think it could be quite difficult this season.Look, it's usually entertaining, but I think the quality only looks at the coaches.They're all young, they're all trying to establish themselves, obviously apart from Arteta.Ask, no, no, I'm just asking you.They would see you in LaLiga with a lot of comfort.Seriously.

Jesus Christ.

No, Rey.What you would always say.You always say...Maintain hostility.
