  • Only Hendry are alongside me for this one now.

  • Few things would seem sillier than going after the greatest player of all time at your particular football.

  • But Abdali, sporting director at Barcelona, has suggested perhaps that Earnest of Albert is departure from the Catalan giants was to do with the players not necessarily doing their utmost for the manager, which prompted little messages on social media and react to it.

  • Basically call him out saying If plays are pulling the weight name names from the outside looking in and not have been an intricate in a knowledge of the machinations of what passed on Ray's 2 May Steve, it seems like there is only one winner in this, Even though there have been talks without doubt, the president and he's sticking around, and the season's not too far away.

  • Presidential candidate is up.

  • Next summer can be brought forward, It seems all of little bit uncertain, isn't it?

  • Does and needless as well, wasn't it?

  • While making a public spot, I think Abigail's learn very, very quickly what you can and can't say being in that role.

  • He's not in the dressing room, no more than the other side of the fence.

  • He's got shut in time.

  • We've been dressing rooms where you can dig people out.

  • And if you are going to come out and start saying what he's saying, then expect Ah, expect someone to say But fair play too messy, because whenever dizzy, speak up before you know.

  • So he's showing signs of stick out for his teammates as well, to say, All right, well, if that's the way you feel, you know your name names and we'll see.

  • Because if you're going to come for May, I'll just put out the SATs.

  • 606 $100.700 games in six Balan doors.

  • And if you're gonna come for me another chance, something really one winner thing like that, I just get some head.

  • Is that Abadan is bitten?

  • You said he played, he played in messing with.

  • So I'm saying, you know, as an ex player, if you've got something to say, surely you've said it in a changing.

  • Surely you're a big enough man to go in the change room and say what you gotta say it I think.

  • I mean, I do like the fact that mess he has come back and sensible name place and you've been in this position.

  • So you know, you're not gonna say who it is.

  • Well, you're not gonna com unit and speed towards what you saw hiding me on the factor of doing doing it the way you did, which it baffles me.

  • It's it does.

  • But for me that an ex player can actually send that they can't do that.

  • But you just think that he'd know the knowledge to go in another conversation.

  • If you really felt that that big about the situation you Steve, you mentioned the way that it comes across a little messy.

  • It appears not to be a fun of the notion that dictates everything that's going on in Barcelona that easy.

  • The kicking, a football around, playing on his PlayStation wet, big plays on just likes to be the footballer.

  • But come on.

  • I mean, this has been coaches.

  • There's been presidents, has been players.

  • Abraham of it has been one that's coming.

  • And you said I want to play somewhere.

  • Guardiola said, Well, sorry, that's what messy place.

  • And then he was on his way that he's, he must he must know the clout that he has got.

  • This is just going to say, Can you not say that he has millions of social media followers?

  • It's gonna cause a big, dizzy, dizzy Izzy more political than he lets on.

  • This fella is the King of Barcelona way.

  • No, I think he I think he doesn't walk around with an arrogance like it.

  • I think he does.

  • He's got this image.

  • He's got this persona where you know he's respectful.

  • But when I think when something, it's a cell not within which.

  • Obviously this is done because he could be sound the same things out without saying, Listen, you just concentrate on your job.

  • We've got Suarez injured, belly injured while you don't get in a strike room for us.

  • So again, needless to come out, should be done in house.

  • Could have been done in office.

  • You know, somewhere ever watched their relationship like we don't know.

  • But certainly one thing's for sure is that the years of certain English competent would have picked up on be taking that recipe, that's for sure, said in English clubs, is room with that he's got a clause in his contract that if he's unhappy, he can leave in the summer.

  • What he swapped s what barmy Barcelona for any Manchester.

  • His favorite coaches there.

  • Yeah, I suppose that'd be the only thing that isn't exactly, you know, choosed evenings of going T o big thing is that, you know, I'd be very surprised if recently I would be, I don't know, years old now I'd say no is prime.

  • But the autumn of his career's probably better than 99 point everyone else's bulk of the career, isn't it?

  • But like you said, Barcelona is his Mr Barcelona.

  • He really is.

  • And I think for what he's done in his career at that at that football club, I just I can't ever seen without a Barcelona shirt on on.

  • You know, I I even thought that about Ronaldo when he left around Madrid to go Aventis.

  • Personally, I think he will sort this issue out and he'll stay there for the remainder of his contract.

  • I just can't seem going to come into the Premier League saying put pressure on himself because his listen is one of the best players in the world.

  • I love to see him in the Premier League.

  • I really would.

  • But at this moment in time, I think this will be resolved and 11 year deal commanded season.

  • So I'm not going to see him in the blue of Manchester.

  • A fellow that we are going to see in the Red of Manchester, of course, is only only Garlow, probably the more surprising tale of the transfer window.

  • And now all the kind of fanfare and the head scratching in the debate died down somewhat.

  • I'm not gonna talk about the next couple minutes.

  • Maybe, just maybe, we're looking at someone that man United might need because of what you bring 100%.

  • I mean, you can't write him off yet.

  • Um, we've seen what you can do in the primary.

  • Before when he was what footed is a man united fan is gonna be the highlight.

  • His career.

  • And it was enough while I burn a Fernandez Andi, quite clearly.

  • See, while I'm not being a cynic, Steve said was being a cynic.

  • I'm believing in this.

  • So yes, he's taking a pay cut from an astronomical fatal were slightly lesser astronomical feat, but this is a let's let's displace get the cynicism out the way it could be the Philip that they need between now and the end of the season because they've tried other avenues.

  • The youth drive big name players.

  • As I said to stay there is it is you got no, I got nothing to lose by God, I feel so I feel that, you know that replacing their spent big phase on big players and he hasn't What's this is this is an opportunity for him to really six career like it's a It's a massive opportunity to come into a football club that he's constantly under scrutiny.

  • For certain reasons.

  • That area alone at the moment is somewhere where the struggling with.

  • So I think the blend of having that center forward on every scene there was physical presence is pacing behind.

  • I've got a funny feeling that is going to go in there and do some potential suspects a spectacular, but I think he's gonna go to school goals at Man United.

  • If he's provided with the surface that the service, I just think he's on a hiding to nothing going that everyone's really muff before he's even got through the door.

  • You're going into a general window where you're struggling to bring players in big plans that you want to bring in.

  • It's in some of the clubs, you know, And that was a big surprise for everyone.

  • No one, even even himself, didn't know that was gonna happen.

  • Let's face it.

  • So what an opportunity is for him to come back to the Premier League and improve a bit of a point.

  • It's no stick to bait a play with when the current incarnation, what Man United have perceived that thing is the type of player going for because it's still gonna be starting Center forward?

  • Yeah, for one of the biggest clubs on the planet.

  • Yeah, but, like, I don't be negative about it, But it's just again.

  • It's the recruitment, isn't it?

  • Move united.

  • We're saying now that this is yes, I needed a strike away.

  • Embassy Cavani didn't want to go war, didn't it?

  • Didn't go through what I had to get someone to fair play for to getting someone in.

  • But you know, there's just no identifying the right place.

  • You know that suit, the Manchester United mold.

  • You know, that's the worrying thing again for me.

  • Is this the recruitment that's been going on for a number of years?

  • Now we're still catching up.

  • It just feels like it's just stop capsule the time There's not like a riel.

  • Short, short, medium, long term plan for United Moment Purple Patch is needed for himself between now and the end of season.

  • Not beyond comprehension, is it?

  • Well, it's certainly not.

  • Certainly know, You know, there's there's enough games there for that to happen.

  • I think, you know, way tried about this.

  • I just feel that the White Man United are at the present time is that there's no direction of where they're going on.

  • And that's what worries me, Sick of sort of him in the excuses that soul shots coming out with at the moment.
