It might be even a bit more essential role, maybe for Ray and that's that's potentially quite so. Yeah, very much so. Do you think the Defcon boys were obviously great last year, right? Sinesi through all of it and then obviously Hill for pretty much all of the second half of the season of it even outperformed Sinesi from a Defcon perspective. Do you foresee a Defcon drop off? It's going to be really interesting because I think the other you sound like less frantic would lead me to think yes. It's still going to be it's still high intensity, but rather than it being sort of like a man press, it's more of like that zonal press where we're trying to kind of contest the middle of the park, force the play out wide. So I think you're going to get more crosses in, which is why perhaps we've you know one Lou is a big boy. I think he's sort of six foot two or three as a fallback. But then Hill did well sort of with those sort of headers. Silver I think is going to look really good from those as well. So those sort of headed clearances that you kind of start to chew up Defcon. The set two centerbacks are still going to be dealing with that central sort of press that we're going to have. So as if they do try and come in. So I think it's natural to expect there will be a drop off, but I don't think we're it's not going to be a cliff edge drop off. The you know maybe we might have expected because there is still going to be that press. And actually it may mean that some of the midfielders maybe do a little bit better if we're trying to maybe engage that central literally sort of center circle a bit more. I'm actually in Pat Jafink for you on Europa League. For you and we've just spoke to Spencer about Sunderland. It's essentially first time in like the will to want to do well in it. And I'm sure the two of you both have an awareness that who knows when the next time will be right. So like really enjoy it. Really give it a good go. How much of an influence do you foresee that being on the team in the club this year? Yeah, I mean we've got a small squad certainly compared to others. We don't have the academy depth that others may have. And I presume I don't I know Sunderland's have got a more established, but it's probably not a dissimilar situation in terms of that. So we don't have some of the advantages that more established European clubs have that there are maybe three or four guys that you could expect to see in there. We don't have the home we won't have enough homegrown players. So we are going to have to have a really small European squad supplemented by those players in some of them. You know, when we played Pop 4 at home or whatever. It's going to be tough. I think every club when they first get into Europe, you expect sort of a ten point something like that drop off. I think it was the the stat I saw. So, you know, I don't expect to I expect sort of mid table for us. There might be a little bit more rotation at certain players, but with the injuries we have, early doors there isn't going to be much option to. I don't think everyone. We seem to be picking up injuries left, right and centre in preseason, which isn't great. In terms of concern, like I'd mentioned with Spencer that Sunderland are actually the bookies favorites after the three promote your club. So essentially kind of placing them as expectations. Seventeenth. And I think part of that is also analytics from last year, but similar what you say about squad size and concern that they might drop off. The bookies don't have that opinion for you. Not at all. You're kind of in the mix with that club of everyone else. It feels like someone will get sucked in this year. It's probably difficult to visualise at the moment. Would you accept a season that was something I had the same question I'd ask Spencer, would you accept a season that was something like 15th, 16th and you go really deep in the Europa league to a semi final or something like that? Would you accept that sort of season? Yeah, I mean, I know it's slightly different because it's a conference league, but you're kind of, it's the palace season of last year. Now, I'm not saying we're going to go and win the Europa League, that's probably unrealistic. But I think if you would have offered me that where they're not at risk last year, the season, but we're going really, you know, we're in that conversation come the end of the season. And ultimately the Europa League, yes, there are some bigger hitters in there than last year. But Forest and Villa blazed a trail for us in terms of what could be achieved in that competition. You never quite know in these sort of situations where, you know, like what you could end up in a situation where Labor Cooze and Draw Juventus in one of the knockout rounds, they can't both get through. So yeah, I mean, I would, I think I would absolutely accept that. As you said, we've been building to this for my whole life, frankly. I mean, I say that a little bit flippantly because if you'd asked me 20 years ago, if I thought I'd be, might be going to the San Ciro, I would have laughed. But certainly the Premier League. You'd have thought that was like some on a red versus black striped centenary game or, that's in fact the other two in place of red and black. You'd like to nick teams kits from it. He don't anyway. Red and black, blue and black. We probably shouldn't talk about your kits this year, Neil. Yeah, move on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no comment. They're lovely kits. But there's a certain element. Yeah, the sponsor has done very well out of it. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, I think that wouldn't leave that one there. I think there's a reason I'm wearing an old awake it. Fictures Premier League. What do you make of it? It looks, it does look tough at the start. Yeah, I think there's no, there's no two ways about it. I mean, the, the first game, not, not who you'd want. I mean, the first five, if we look at that, you've probably got three of the tougher fixtures that it's possible to get, particularly now that, you know, Eddie's left a new castle. So city away game with one ever to at home. That, you know, home opener. That should be quite nice. Newcastle away. Always a tricky game. And now Eddie, who, you know, we haven't got that voodoo that we had, maybe, Brentford at home, fine Liverpool at home, with the return of Andonian, all the scripts that's going to go on there. You've been hit. That's it. Yeah. Six, you go to Chelsea and eight, you go to man, she knighted as well. And I know there are two grounds that you haven't done too badly. But by consul, it's sundering that home in the middle was the seventh, by consequence of that, you sit bottom and I'm taking for the first six or the first day. Absolutely fair enough. But I think there's something to be said about getting those games done early, particularly when we are going to be a bit of a surprise. I mean, how on earth does city plan for what roast is going to do? Because I mean, likewise, how do we plan for mereska? But at least he's kind of a known entity in the Premier League. But, you know, you can't, you don't know necessarily what roast is going to do. And that might. Rescue order. He's cleverer than me in union. I'm Mark Arosa. He's cleverer than us as well. They will. Oh, yeah. I know. But, you know, there is always that slight wildcard, right? But yeah, I'm not expecting to get anything from city away. I think the concern would be. You've got tough fixtures at the start, which has like kind of good stuff in the sense you're not kind of fully into the Europa League stuff at that point. The concern is that the easier run comes at a period where you are deeper in it. And if it's become all first these sundies are slogging to get bogged down and you've started badly, then you end up with a sort of season we've said when maybe you are in the bottom of our fun that that circumstance. That run though from Game Week 9. So flip it. You're worse for first six first eight. That run that you've got from 9 to 14, I think it is. It gets the best six game run I've got for any team in the first half for the season. So that run is leads at home, it's switch away, forest at home, full of more way, bright and at home, whole home. It's a brilliant little six game run where even if you're in a bad position, a reference if full of more in trouble after Game Week 8 is like real concern. If you're in trouble after Game Week 8 will go, there's a really good opportunity to put this right over the next six games and have no concern. We all. main man crew people back for this. So Game Week 9 is last weekend of October/first weekend of November, I think Halloween is the Saturday. Are we expecting crew people back by then? Yeah, so the reports are that so Game Week 9 is Halloween. So that is about when we might be expecting crew people to come back. I suspect we'll start seeing him in training maybe around Game Week 7 or 8 just from what I've read. The reports are sort of late October, early November, somewhere around then, you know, these foot injuries can be a bit funny as we all know, I think looking back to past World Cup campaigns for England. But yeah, I think there's a really reasonable chance that Crupe is in and around the team for the majority of this run if not all of it, which is very interesting. Our popularity in the bin. Crupe. I've obviously seen the winters in midfield at 7.5. I know that I think because you'd even given what we know about Crupe, I think you'd even had him against City, just at that price. I'd have had him at our lane for clarity. Well, yeah, but there is that. I think there is the weird situation where it probably might have helped us a little bit because no one wants to buy him now. There was some weird talk about how a club should go and make an offer for him because visit that log set. I was like, "Why on earth would we accept less?" I wouldn't rule out someone's still making a move, you know. I say, "Do they do?" But I mean, it's going to be. It's going to be a ridiculous figure. But if they do, then I've got every faith that the club can replace him. Ultimately, he's been with us for one season really, and you've got to be talking not a million miles from that 100 mark given his potential and a striker. In seriousness, really like him as a player, but rather than spending 100 million on a player that's not going to be available for three months, rather than just found the next group he would be quite beneficial. "Morah, what's going on?" "Hey, what do you think we're going to do?" "The micro-cute leader of the team has been playing for a long time. He's got a lot of things to do." "Yeah, he's got a lot of things to do, but he's got a lot of things to do." "Hey, what's going on?" "It's a very important thing, it's going to be a real thing." "It's going to be a real thing, the world is going to be a real thing." "He's been playing for a long time, and he's been playing for a long time." "It's going to be a real thing." "He's been playing for a long time." "Mais tu aina cuin Italia laisa saravinto la samba, pizzer is torante." "Let's leave Croupi out the conversation for the moment. Are there concerns that anyone else could leave? There's been some Marcus Tavanier speculation. Alex Scott, we know, has obviously got bigger admirers as well, and probably a little bit early, but people are going to talk about Rayan as well, right?" "Yeah, I think going backwards, so Rayan, I don't think leaves this summer. I think he had a really good World Cup, I think all things considered for a player of his age and stature to be contributing in a Brazil team in a World Cup. Fantastic. I think clubs will want to see more than six months out of him. Premier League, you know, again, we're going to want in that 100 million mark, just the way the market has been set this summer. We're not going to blink for less than that. Why would a club pay that for six months of a player? I don't know. Scott, I think, is the real risk that I could still see a world where he goes this summer. Again, I think it would have to be an offer that the club couldn't refuse because I think there is an understanding within the club that we would rather really give this season a go and accept less next summer, or even, you know, January, if things aren't panning out maybe as well as they'd like and drive that forward. And there's every chance that, you know, we've talked about maybe the worst case scenarios, but there's every chance that actually we look really good in Europe, Roses tearing it up and maybe we're in a similar position to where we were in that sort of, let's say, ninth or something looking up. And actually Scott goes, well, all right, maybe I will give this another go. Is that likely, probably not, but we'll see. Tavineer, I don't see. I think he's going to really enjoy playing under Rosa. I think he will be a big beneficiary of that system change as well or shape change. So I don't see it certainly not at the prices that we've, that I've seen mentioned of sort of, I kind of like 40, 50 million, which for such a key player for us, I don't see why we do that at the moment. Okay, let's talk some of these new signings. One of them new forward signed Alvaro Rodriguez. What can you tell us? Yeah, so he looks very much like the next, the next man up. My understanding is that he was thought as the Ounel replacement who has is about to leave from what I understand. I think it's agreed with Hitafi as it really. Yeah, small fee. Yeah. Nominal fee, but a 20% sell on. And apparently he was one of our highest earning players, which is weird, whatever. So he's kind of in that mold as our second striker, as we've already, as I've already mentioned, Rosa likes to have two strikers. He likes that two up top. Evan Ilson will be one of those. Groupie probably is still too young to be doing two games a week, 90 minutes, even when fit. So I think the club identified that there was need for another proper striker in that sadly, he's injured. He hasn't played in in in preseason. So I haven't can't tell us much beyond that other than that he was really, really well thought of in Spain. And obviously the club has paid a not insignificant figure for him. And I really do, you know, I trust the club's recruitment for that, but I haven't seen him kickable in anger really for us. Yeah, unfortunately, as well, you should with some of the signage you've made that Pete were an herd of Marcus Sinesi was obviously outstanding for you last year. Pete were forgotten it was back up to Ilya Zabani and Dean House and the year before, right? So Sinesi's gone, are we saying Antonio Silferu is the replacement? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I know he's had a bit of a down year for Ben Fieker this year, but ultimately he was still, I believe they're captain. Certainly was in the last friendlies, but I think that was more or not friendly. So the Europa League, but I think that was maybe a little bit of a farewell tour, but the pedigree that he has at the price that he's had, that's a that's a punt that's worth taking, I think, particularly for a club like us, 22, plenty of experience across the board Europa League experience champions league experience. I presume you certainly, he's won trophies with Portugal, so that's not a bad start for a player either. So, yeah, I think he's exactly the sort of player and mold that we love. Big strong center back, Portugal, European credibility. Yeah, there's everything to like about that. To go alongside Jane Till who was another breakout really from last year, I think. Okay, new right back in as well. One-loo Sanchez before we speak about him, credit for the way your football club dealt with Alex Himiner's situation because of plenty of other clubs might not have backed away, acted in the way you did just quietly dealing with it and moving it on. So he's coming in as your new right back, I presume. Yeah, it's him and Smith that would be our right back, so it's one-loop that I think he's going to take the starting job. Really exciting. I think he's going to be really a roast of player from what I've seen. Again, we haven't seen him play yet because he's only just joined, he joined sort of as the club was wrapping up its sort of summer adventures. My sort of understanding of him is he's more of a forward player anyway. I think on transfer marked, it has him as basically where did you play on the right side. So he is likely to, as we spoke about, the fullbacks that are going to get forward, like Traffair does. I think he really fits that mold, that sort of player that's going to get up the pitch, understanding likes to kind of cut in as well and arrive late in the box, which could be nice for Traffair as well if he's winging crosses across. So yeah, a player I'm really excited about. Again, really good pedigree and the fee was, I think everyone kind of did a like, how much, but sort of the opposite of we've done this summer, like 11 million euros or something like that, it was like, ah, well, that's pocket change really to a Premier League club now, which is strange, but I believe to be a little more. We're spending the 11 million pocket change. This is an hour remember, we were walking around with buckets looking for pocket change, the side of the football club was quite remarkable, Sanchez in up 4.5, interestingly, I guess it's probably no guarantee he starts game week one, at the moment, not the, well, that said, I guess people wouldn't have wanted to play him in game week one because of Man City away. So how, I mean, how confident would you be of him going in first choice over Adam Smith? Yeah, I think Smith is, I'd have to check exactly how old he is. He's reliable, though, isn't he? He doesn't job for you. Whenever he plays, mate. Oh, I mean, he rightly will go down as a club legend. He's still a club captain. He's 36 this year. So, um, he's not going to start for many games for us. I think what will, what is going to be nice? He's going to get a tour. We've gone through a lot of our legendary players that haven't been able to take that next jump with us when we've made it. So Steve Fletcher, when we went up to the championship, he didn't get ever get to play in the championship for us. Brett Pittman, these are all names that no one on podcast will have heard of, but he played for us in the championship, never got to play for us in the Premier League. Simon Francis, Steve Cook, that sort of formulation of our bat line that took us to the Premier League, they never got to that next step. So, it's really nice to see a player like Smith who is in our annals. He's going to be in that conversation of club appearance record holder when he does leave the club. It's nice to see him kind of make that next step with us 350 appearances for us, which you know, that's no small beer. So yeah, it's nice club captain who knows, maybe he gets the dream end to a long and illustrious clear here with us as well. Tottenham Academy player as well, he's done very, very well for himself and his career. Welles is needed. You mentioned, Scott, maybe a bit thin at the moment. At a certain position, let's say that you have concern and main need void. It feels to me from what you've said in terms of system, it might be another forward. Yeah, I think it wouldn't surprise me if there's a loan option that the club looks to explore because you've got to, you know, when Croupey comes back that will be useful, but he's not there now with Rodriguez out as well. We only really have Jefferson and Evan Anderson. Jefferson is not price, is he? Am I right, Sam? He's not price, but he, uh, because I think the the expectation was that he would leave the club. All the reports are today that it was Oonail or Jefferson and Oonail is leaving. So let me tell you the people that be at FPL towers, listen to Planet FPL. So no, he's not going to come in at 4.5. Sorry guys. He should, but I don't know that by the way by fact, but it's just, oh, where's Jefferson's price? I think he's going to play it. I'll be like, oh, he's not going in at 4.5. You maybe have five. That's how to look at it. Um, so yeah, I think I wouldn't surprise me if there's maybe a loan there just to cover that gap while Crupe is out and just a bit of extra cover. I think the other obvious spot is the backup goalkeeper because we had Mandanas last year. That wasn't then renewed. So I think that's, you know, our currently our backup goalkeeper is either Fraser Foster or Will Dennis from our academy. So that doesn't fill me with joy if Petra Bitch goes down. Okay. So that's a gap, but all reports are we're 95% of the way there. Let's start there actually in terms of FPL discussion. Then we've, we've the goalkeepers and Petra Bitch. Petra Bitch coming in at 4.5 raised a few eyebrows actually. Um, he's not a favorite of why I'm being very honest, but I think he did finally got better and better as the season went on and he's very much an FPL consideration. At that price at 4.5 the off putter I think is for those if you people are in a bench boost game, we'd wonder like I've just got all him out even though he might be the best 4.5 for what follows after in any case. For those I guess not bench boosting game week one. How much of a consideration should he be, do you think? Yeah, I mean, he's as nailed as you can get. There is no competition for him in that spot. I think one of the things that we've seen in the preseason, we've scored a heck of a lot of goals. We put 10 past January, but we've always we have conceded as well. We have got a fairly new look back line with obviously silver and Sanchez coming in. So I think that we may, there will be quite a lot of, it's like two one, like a bit like we had at times last year, where we do concede unfortunately, but I think he will certainly when we get into that run, there will be clean sheets there. There will be save points there because I think what we're going to do is we're going to force a lot because of that nature of that press that I spoke about. You're going to take more shots just then, you know, if it's you're quite compact around there, it's going to be crosses in like longer shots, which leads well to save points, I think. So yeah, I don't hate it at all. I haven't looked at who the other 4.5s are in goalkeepers at the moment, so I couldn't tell you. You're looking at the best. For Broghen Kinski are the two most popular ones at the moment, but there aren't many you looking at. No, they're really the promoted goalkeepers as well, really. Yeah, compared to all of those, I think he's absolutely worth a shout particularly. I think he's going to be more of interest when that big wild card run comes around because I'm going to guess that's not in a dissimilar spot to where I've actually changed. I think he's got that price and I think similar has happened with Broghen because to try and move people away from the Def Con players at those teams. And I think that's what's that in Wakin's key as well. All Sinesi and Van Hecker at Tottenham now. So I think he kind of clubbing that in. So try to force you away a lot of the price and it's try to force people away from the Def Con's. So it does. If you wanted specifically Bournemouth defensive coverage, it feels like right to get Petrovich this year as a million saving versus Hill or Traffer. Maybe should be considered before we move on to those two. I don't think because the Manchester City game, I don't think people want to do this, but if they did want to pair up one of the 4.0s with Petrovich, which should they pick? So as in out of our 4.0 Dennis, I would say over the two, I think he's going to he's the kind of up and coming one over Forster, who's very much there as a player coach, I think. I would strongly advise against that because you never know you may want outfield Bournemouth players moving forward. Adrian Traffer. Yes. He's obviously capable. Kind of anomaly as a fallback because he does really chip in on the Def Con's as well. Obviously, no, we need a consistency of what the Scentback showed us last year, but he's at this bump up to 5.5. You kind of laying it out to the Scentback, we're really offensive again. James Hill at 5.5, we've out is mate and we've a new manager feels like too much of a gamble. Yeah, out of the two, I would go Traffer. Just because of what we've spoken about, that the fullbacks are going to be where our width comes from. So having that versus Hill, because with Hill, you're relying on clean sheets, which I think are going to be struggling at the start in particular. And the Def Con, which we just don't know what that might look like. So I think Traffer, even in these bigger games, we're not going to keep clean sheet away at City. But if you were in that bench boost and maybe you like a look of some of what that other little gap that comes after because ever to at home, that might, you know, he could well get something there. There's every chance that Traffer gets an assist at City. Right. And you say, well, actually, I've got three points out of him on my bench. He's more like, he's more like he's more like he will hits the Def Con, isn't it? Sure. Being realistic. Sure. But Traffer could as well as we sped it as, it's basically when we are in that position. So yeah, I don't hate it. I think you again, all defensive options for Bournemouth, you're looking at whatever I get. If you're in that bench boost one, you're looking at this is a complete free hit on that bench boost. I want it for those, maybe those other games like you're ever to at home afterwards, you get what you get. And I'd love to say it'll be, I'd love to be more positive, but hard to be positive at City away. Four point three points per game for Traffer last season. He's very good. And also, I think does need the added context on that that he started every game. So that's particularly important when you're comparing against other 5.5s, he's a bit behind the likes of Munoz. Questionable, what's his future at Palace looks like at the moment, the time recording. Mjkeli, who's a doubt to start game week one, you're being comparable down with the city guys, Califuri, Rhysh James. Like when you look at the analytic side of it, to me and his website, his assist wasn't over performance last year. That he's actually deserved that bump. I don't think it's oh, like Sunessi, I think it's six million autonomy stupid as I've said. That feels right to me. And the flip, of course, is there's only one goal scored. So if he gets out that element of it, I didn't get involved in him last year because I felt that fallbacks for me, despite his defcons contribution, I'd need goal scoring fallbacks. I couldn't say the assist is like one thing, but the defcons is way more reliable roots to the points than the assist. So I'd want to see more from him for goals output. Pretty much anyway, your whole squad is kind of like on a watch list for me for this game week nine period, basically. Yeah, and I think that's the kind of the benefit of the way our fixtures have landed that you can watch and see what happens with us a little bit, which that's no bad thing sometimes, especially when you've got all this change. One thing just to close off the Traffar bit because we've spoken about it, you've spoken about the rotation of some of the others that might have there is no risk to that for him unless we sign a player tomorrow, in which case, you know, things are different, but it's it's a salaire is the only other leftback really that natural leftback that we have. And I don't see him regularly taking a spot, certainly not in the Premier League. I think there'll be chances for salaire in in the Europa League, as we've said, when you play some of these other teams at home in particular, but I don't see salaire taking minutes away from Traffar and actually he just has an engine on him. So he's, you know, and he's young enough that you don't really worry about it. He's in that age where he can play for games, no problem. Okay, if you had to start with one of Traffar or Hill, you would start with. I think I'd start with Traffar. Would you prefer to start with Antony or Silver at 0.5 cheaper? No, because I don't know what the Defcon, there's an obviously Sinesi was a Defcon monster last year. And I think obviously Silver has been brought into do that role. We will see how that develops in a Marco Rosa system. So it's really hard to project light for light there. Obviously, if I, you know, if we were expecting that, then yes, I would absolutely like that. But I just think Traffar is the known entity. We know what we're going to get. Silver did have, as I spoke about when we talked about him signing, he did have some negativity last season. So could it be, could he be the next Dia Keite as opposed to the next Sinesi possibly? And that would just, you know, I just want that I would have a watching brief on him, but for those reasons. Okay. Dia Keite feels like it fell out of favor. Yeah. I mean, could that come back around and Melissa Yevich is still young as well, though he's injured at the moment. Yeah, he picked up an injury and I'm disclosed injury. As I said, we've been really unlucky with injuries in the preseason. and so I hate it when people talk to me about how unlucky they are with injuries. Carrier. I think Croupey, come on. Yeah, so yeah, Millicea, which he's injured. It's a need fit right in with us with the injury at the moment, mate. Let me tell you. Well, you do call yourself Dr. Dr. Stottman, right? And that's why. This is not what I mean, though. I can't see you. So yeah, Deer Keete, he's played in preseason. I think Helen Silver is who I expect to be our back to, but I wouldn't be surprised if Deer Keete is in and around, particularly as we develop. And we've got a lot more games he's going to have to play and maybe, you know, he needed a bit of time to come into the Premier League. We've all seen that so many times. We've maybe got a bit used to Bournemouth players jumping in and being incredible, day one, but that doesn't, that isn't how most players react to the Premier League. So, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if we see sort of a burst from him, but again, I don't expect to see it day one. I expect to see Silver and Hill as our centre backs versus City. Okay. Fine. Talk to me about Rayyan. Yeah. Six point five, each zero point five more than Tavania. I think obviously would have had the context of a million cheaper than Creepy, but it doesn't really have that context at the moment. First and foremost, you think he's worth the bigger price on Tavania. I don't see Rayyan knocking about in many times. I think we've spoken about the formation and system that Roaster is likely to play being that two up top. There's only one player right now that I can see being that set in man and that as long as I'd Evan Ilson and that is Rayyan. I think he will love being able to have that freedom that Creepy had, maybe to be that kind of Evan Ilson knocks it down and Rayyan just goes. I can see that he had a wonderful World Cup. I think all signs to me, he was one of the players I was looking at when the prices came out because I think he could be a real beneficiary of the system that Roaster is going to play, particularly now Creepy's hurt. He's going to be more central. I think he's almost certainly. I think he could really to really well this year. I think that could be caught. He's my player that I'm most worried about in January because I think he could really pop off again, not against City away, but the rest of that season. He's definitely going to be my team for that run that we spoke about. So for you, clear over Tavinear. Because Tavinear, I think he's a little bit more popular. Maybe for those lintensables, sort of like Benchpoost 2, can I kind of tuck it away and hide it for Game Week 1? The idea that he might be on pens is that likely to be correct, you think? Yeah, I think so. The wild card with that is going to be what happens to Clive. I think they will edge him back into the team. He seems to be fit. He played in preseason a little bit, but they look, I got the feeling that the club were not rushing him back. They were sort of really managing that. So I think Clive, my gut read on him is that he might play a lot of the Europa League games to kind of bring him back in a little bit. He's got a little bit of that experience of European football as well. So yeah, I think Tavinear is another one of those players that I think is going to really benefit, particularly as one of his, I guess, one of the players that maybe you could have thought might break through under Rosa was, I mean, Adley, but he's now gone off injured as well. So Tavinear, that, you know, that shows up Tavinear's minutes just a little bit more. I think he, as you said, likely to be on penalties. He's likely to be in that sort of second set of two and more central, which he loves that role. He loved did really well in that role last year. So yeah, I think he'll do really well, but I just can't look past Ryan at the two, even those five point five more outside of you. You obviously know more about it than me, Neil, but I could visualize Clive in this front toe in that, that sanctuary that you're describing with Ryan staying as a, as a wider position. But you're saying it might get held back. Okay. I presume if you were going for one of sixes, therefore it would have to be Tavinear over Scott and Clive, though. Is that Scott did well last year? It really did. And actually he could be, I could see a world where he's given a little bit more of that freedom in the middle. He's done really well as well in preseason. I mean, it's hard to be critical of a preseason where we've scored as many goals as we have. But yeah, I think he could do really well again. My nervousness there is how he reacts to the inevitable rumors, particularly when as January comes in, he's obviously got a head on him. He's a wonderful player. I love him a lot. I think he was unlucky to miss out on the England squad, but he's certainly going to be in that mix. And there's every chance that he's getting called up in this next run of games, particularly if he does have it. So he's going to be looking at that. But he will be in that row of players behind, whereas that's why I just favor like Tavinear and Rayanne. They're going to be that more of those forwards, whereas Scott is going to be that link between whoever our pivot is likely to be much slightly Adams and that next runner players. So he's going to be that driver. I really, really, really like Tottenham fan Alex Scott. Five million players. Yeah. There are Adams. It's going to be decent in there for Deficon lots to talk about people like Norgard at the moment. That sort of price. Well, interesting conversation. Spencer about Angulo on the last podcast. Tyler Adams at five million will take over for Deficons. He's problem. Yeah. He's the staying fit. Yeah. 21 starts across both of the last two seasons, only one in a year before 24 starts the year before that as well. Yeah. He's not the bit that people want from their Deficon insurance in midfield bases. They know that unfortunately does pick up problems. He does. They tend to weirdly. They don't tend to be little niggles. They tend to be. No, this is three months. Yeah. So you do kind of know it's coming in a way. Yeah, simply from from that perspective. Yeah. But being positive, the reason I don't think it's odd that the reason we went on that run is coincided with him coming back. So you know, he came back towards the middle of last year and it really showed us up in the center of the park, particularly given that, you know, Christie also had some injuries last year. He's still her at the moment. So he won't be coming back anytime soon. He's suspended game it one as well. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, again, why would you pick Christie for city away? But yeah, so him the other sleeper that might be interesting as we look at seeing what happens with this rotation, because you know, I always like to have one of what pick a player out might be Alex Toath, because he really he's played a lot of minutes in preseason and does look good. No one's going to dive in very, but it's just want to keep one a half an eye on in that five minute. He's sent from the field player. Yeah, it's an aggressive central midfield player. Okay. He's not feeling it. Well, yeah, might also release if he's going to play more might release Scott a little bit as you'd said as well. Maybe. Okay, just find a word on Evan Ilson. Yeah. I feel like I like Evan Ilson. Yeah. But I do feel like we've hit a hit a kind of a place with him that people just don't want him for fan as a whether you've got bad fixtures, good fixtures, doesn't matter. I feel that I think others feel that what why have we hit that point, Neil, we've ever no son. So he does a lot of the dirty work for Bournemouth. And what I mean by that is under and only he was the man that was triggering that press. He was always the guy that was trying to lead from the he was the front of the spear, but he wasn't the guy that was scoring the goals or even getting the assist. He was the assist to the assist. He was the guy that would bring down the direct ball and knock it on to Tavinear or someone like that. It's incredibly frustrating. There's a joke within Bournemouth circles as well that oh he scored was the linesman asleep because he gets so many offside goals. So incredibly frustrating player, but he as a as a fan, he does a lot of that hard work. You can't help but you know love a player like that that he's really grafting. He runs for 90 minutes. He wins balls. He really does contribute. He just doesn't contribute. He's not going to be a 20 goal striker for us and you know we didn't need that last year because we had a crewpe but we might need that this year if we don't have crewpe. Yeah, someone's got a step up a bit now. Someone's going to have to step up and I don't know who that is right now. We say that but I mean crewpe, crewpe part in part helped fire you. There's loads of contributors but his goals have helped fire you to obviously what you're about to have as well. So I pushed you a long way beyond. Okay, I take you, Evan Eelson, if you doesn't fall into the six minute forwards, a big shout out ahead for the audio listeners. I won't even finish the question. Right, but the game went one line up and she's sitting there. Right. So pet rich and gold and then Traffaier Hill, silver, Sanchez as the back four. I will then go Adams Scott. I will then have Tabanier and it's one of a couple. So let's go with Cliveur as that second and then Evan Ilson and Ryan. I've done my maths right there. Okay, we went a bit of a circle there with Cliveur just to check in if Cliveur was to start, is that Nick in the pens back from Taberniel? Neil knows as much about the rest of us. There's no way of 100% knowing. No, I just like like Taberniel on penalties, but you can't look past the fact that Cliveur has a hatry of penalties. Yeah, he took a lot of season before when he played together. There was definitely a pecking order there before Weklaibur was ahead of him. That's all I'd say. 100%. Yeah, and I would say though that I think when Christie's back, he then slots in instead of Cliveur. And then that goes back to Taberniel. So the risk is that one game. I also want to tell you an old story about when Harry Kane, some of you remember this, broke into the Tottenham team properly in the 2014-15 season. And when Tottenham were getting penalties, when Harry Kane was breaking into the team, Andrews Townsend took a few ahead of Harry Kane. Yes, this really happened. I can absolutely assure you that Andrews Townsend never got them back once Harry Kane got hold of them. So there's nothing to say that they'll come back off Taberniel because I like Taberniel's style of penalties as well. None of this bollocking about mate. I cannot stand the little run ups that players do now. When I'm watching the penalties in the World Cup, I'm like, you deserve to miss it. I feel like Evernielson actually is one that's been culpable. I feel like as well. I like good stuff, Neil. Do you think you'll start with any of your players for FPL? Probably not. Unfortunately. If I, what if you, you know, sort of guns my head if I had to have one, it would be right. I think this is perfect monitor. And it might even be that even monitor is quite quickly. As soon as the City Game falls off the fixture list, it's not looking a bit better, right? I think this is probably a not a start with but a real, real look across a number of players. What you say about Rayan, if he does end up in that more central role, he's really intriguing. He doesn't necessarily equates a better FPL output because they do think he's such a good carrier in that area. He might find himself receiving back to goal, which might not be quite so comfortable for him if he's got center back, sticking in his back. So I'm really intrigued to see how that works out. I'd keep an eye on Clive as well, actually, if you'd discover what he was, I'd be quite keen to keep an eye on that. So I also think there's a strong chance that if you went in on the midfield at the moment, his alpha chance should pick the wrong one as well. So I think monitor, yeah, Game with 9, I'm having a real look. And you're on cashier coverage for quite soon as well before Game with 3 when you go to new castle. Yeah. So we'll have a cut the game's worth of, of having a look as well. Right, Neil, thank you very much, mate. What's a good season look like? Deep run in Europe and not in danger come that sort of last month. No one's worried about us going down. I think that's what I take that now. OK, I'm happy if you're trying to about now, Neil, because I've got in. I've finally got in. So you can stay now. How close to stadium been to? I think there's going to be some additions this summer. They're building it as we speak. It's not a huge amount. I think it's like an extra 2000 this, well, I said it's not huge amount. That's 10%. So, but the idea is over the next sort of three, four, five seasons to get to 20,000. So we would be no longer the smaller stadium in the Premier League. I am aware that I might have got in because it was just a proxy midweek night in January. But we have got you as a midweek again in the winter. So I'm touched with that. I'm probably going to be all right again, like it down there. I think be fine. I'm not worried. The Kizogs teller should be fine. Too much quality. You don't get in trouble. I think if I think you've got more depth actually in the attacking areas than I think forward nine, particularly as a concern at the moment, we might even be that it develops. We could feel like two tens, a little bit based on the way you're saying. I understand the squad that for cross midfields, pretty good and stuff. I think you're right. No. Yeah, I'm not worried. I'm excited more than worried. I think this could be the season that Bournemouth kind of feels like we arrive a little bit. If that makes sense, we've had such a label of it like a Tim Pot Club for so long. That's not going to go away. But European trophy wouldn't help. It wouldn't, wouldn't dent that a little bit. Bournemouth and Sunderland in Istanbul. Next May, you heard it here first. I'm not digging out palace here, by the way, just you've had yours let someone else have a chance. It's an English club's keep doing well in Europe, so feel a bit of pressure, yeah? Yeah, I think we've got a really good chance going deep. Represent, don't piss it up for this fifth place coefficient or anything like that. Talking of pissing it up. Next up on Correspondent Week, it's them. Champions League final runners up. It's Arsenal, yeah, the Champions. And Adam Pritchard, that'll be our closure for day four on Correspondent Week. Plenty to discuss with Adam. Neil, thank you. Good luck, particularly in Europe, my friend. Be nice to each other on the smasher like Hit the sub. Q, is it please? Man shot. [Music] Ancassi Hozboz. [Music] [Music] [Music]
