Compass CEO Reveals His Housing Market Outlook

The transcription covers a post-match analysis of a 5-0 win, focusing on standout performances and tactical insights. The "sexy goal" by Zirkzee is described as flabbergasting for its casual execution, while Mason Mount's display in a 4-2-3-1 formation is praised for his defensive work, passing, and leadership, suggesting he thrives in a deeper midfield role. The discussion notes Carrick's desire to build a technical, control-oriented midfield, prioritizing ball-playing ability and mobility over pure defensive traits, as reflected in summer transfer plans. Young talents like Shea Lacey and Harry Amass impressed in the second half, with Lacey scoring a goal and demonstrating potential as a number 10, though competition on the right wing remains stiff. Lacey's development is backed by academy coaches' high praise, indicating his readiness for first-team involvement. The analysis also touches on the team's improved performance compared to a previous underwhelming game, with senior players and youth contributing to a confidence-boosting victory, setting a positive tone for the season ahead.

The sexy goal was absolutely flabbergasted, wasn't it? It was good word for it. It was just like so, so casual and then when it happened I thought that was impressive. I looked at it again and said, "Who is that?" Is that you saying? Yeah, like who is that guy? I think it's interesting that Carrick clearly wants. It's always been me fielding his image, doesn't it? He wants a midfield for the control games. I've written about this and spoken about this that, you know, I've been told that the focus is summer. He's on in the field technical quality and then in the ability to get around the pitch. It's not like we have to decide a pure defensive in the field, it's we want technical players. But to put him in the number ten is a show of faith in Carrick, I think, given that responsibility to kind of stay and team, not just in the middle certainly, but under the middle. So a real show of faith. Before we jump into this podcast, let's just have a first word from our sponsors. NordVPN, the fastest VPN in the world and an absolute essential traveling companion.

Back in the studio with Tyrone Marshall, Ty, how are you? Good to be back. Yeah, I'm just having a look around. We familiarise myself for the place. It's been a while. I'm good. Thank you, Stephen. I had an entire weekend off, which was fantastic. Or be it it was my son's birthday party on Saturday in his football presentation on Sunday. So a weekend off that revolved around a six-year-old, but still it was nice to be off. For you said, he's got a birthday party next Sunday. Which was a birthday party. It was a birthday next Friday, which is why I'm not going to Stockholm to just talking about, to quite late on the Friday. Then I'm getting a very early flight back on the Sunday because I thought at the time it might be his birthday party that day, but it's not. It was last weekend. So in hindsight, I could have got a lighter flight from Stockholm, but instead it's going to be 26, 28 hours in an out of Stockholm. Sorry, I thought he said he was to have more than Sunday's, but I've got more wires crushed there. I thought it was going to be on a book, the trips, I thought I'd better get back just in case it is. A bit of a spoil. Kid, if he's having success of that birthday party, that starts that success. I hear when people make like have a birthday a week. Get a day, enjoy your day, move on. A week's too much, a week's too much. I've obviously just come back from. You do famously book your birthday off every year, don't you? Obviously, yeah, I'm quite important. So I don't, I'm, there's something about, I don't take this the wrong way, even though it's going to sound like, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, it's fucking their birthday off work, that I'm never quite sure about, but as long as you're in, as long as you start there enjoying yourself. What did I do? I think I just went to media city. Do you know what? I went to the show. You sure you know when I'll see stuff, surely like everyone else. Go from my shoot at the day, but when to the National War Museum on the birthday? I remember telling Stony about, when we were sitting in the press, I went, everyone was asking, what are you going to do? I'm good at National War Museum. I just really wanted to go. And I thought, I've always walked past that, I always run past it, and you know what, it was incredibly underwhelming, because it was, it was, it was halftime, so it was just full of kids. It wasn't a relaxing cultural experience, I thought it was going to be. Let this be a lesson. Adults don't need to book their birthday off. Yeah, yeah. Enjoy your weekend there. Tronheim was the cultural experience I thought it was going to be. Anyways, I enjoyed it. Yeah. We just kind of discussed what to talk about, because I did a little walk and talk. Felt like an influence, actually. I want you to see if you fell over at any point. I was a tough opponent. Came close. Yeah, I was disappointed. You didn't. I watched it on two-speed. I'd never usually read or watch or listen to any of that stuff, but you must have seen the link and you clicked on it, and you just text me saying, you look tired. Yeah, I do. So, I want you to be tired. We'll just go over the game a little bit more for anyone who didn't, watch or listen to that walk and talk, because it's on the audio platforms as well. But it was a really good win. Five, no, win. The Rectum game was really underwhelming, but this was a step in the right direction. Senior players, players, played for a little bit longer, and Caric made around seven changes on 60 minutes. Obviously, Haramagwari and Luxio came off at half-time. But there was goals. Finally, there were some goals, which was positive. What we all take away is from the match. Obviously, I've kind of discussed mine and rumbled on, and I've rambled on, and I've not 20 made a video. Probably Mason Mount was one of them, would you go? Yeah. Ross and Berg are awful. That was one of my takeaways. Given they had, I haven't done that game two years ago, when Ross and Berg, they won it in the 90th minute, but I thought they were the better team in that game from my slightly hazy memories, and you could tell that a fitness edge. And I did think, like, oh, I was probably going to be the same story, but they were terrible. And then you can see why they're having a tough season. But yeah, from a united point of view, this isn't Ross and Berg is white or whatever color they are. This is Manchesterous Reds. And from a united point of view, you know, Mason Mount, you know, you were at the game, I was working it from home. I did my peace on Mason Mount. I thought he was really, really good. Passing in the first half, especially, was absolutely fantastic. But I thought he's defensive contributions as well. There was one moment fairly early on, where he was in us. When you played in that 4-2-3-1, he was in the classic, just in front of the defence on the edge of the box position. And he could sense a pass being played across goal, stepped out, intercepted it, got you night on the break. He could cut out a cross in his own box, late in the first half. I just thought it looked really good, all-round performance from Mount inner 2, inner 4-2-3-1. And it's starting to feel like that might be his position now. We've kind of spoken the past, haven't we? Like, when Amor and Wazeer, he could be one of the two number 10s. He's obviously not going to take that position off an others. And I don't think he scores enough or creates enough to play that number 10 role, especially in the team that historically worked certainly in recent years, there's probably lacked goals. Like, I don't think you could take Fernandez out of there and put Mountain and drop off 20 goal contributions. It'd just be too, for all the quality that Mount brings it, be too much. And he's not a natural wide man, but I think he's starting to look really good in that role. I thought, Brian, he's on the last day of the season, he played well there as well. So, yeah, big positives for Mason Mount. I mean, that's Erksey. There's Erksey goal with absolutely flabbergasting, isn't it? That's good word for it. It was just like so, so casual. And then when it happened, I thought, that was impressive. I looked at it again. Who is that? Is that you saying? Yeah, like, who is that guy? I was actually. Pixabor, like, he's still so far out from goal, like, 20, 25 yards, when he gets it and just drops a shoulder for two defenders. I mean, the keeper goes down very early. Like, you've got to say, the defending wasn't great, but the casualness of it from Zerksy was seriously impressive. And I thought he played pretty well. But then the kids that came on as well, I thought they all looked really good, like it was a really confidence-boosting performance from then. Amas had a really good game. Jaden Kamerson had a really good game. They both come on at half-time, didn't they? And yeah, they thought they all just looked pretty sharp. And we've got a hell of a lot out of that experience. I think scoring goals and playing that well against what's theoretically a decent men's team was very impressive. Yeah, the on band on, Mason Mount. We asked him about that in the mix, and he said, look, there's different types of leaders. I'm not exactly going to be one of the Shelton and Ballon, but I'll leave by example. And you see it on the pitch, don't you? He's aggressive of the pressing. And really runs his socks off all the time. He's very honest on the pitch. And we saw that last year when he described himself as probably the catalyst of that press on the Ruben Amaroo. He was really setting the example from the front. And he does the amount of running that he gets for a game. It was really impressive for me. And that obviously lends itself to playing in that position because you need legs in midfield. And he can offer that. Now, I would probably wouldn't go as far as seeing he can be that fervent to feel saying. And then that's his real mind. But he obviously could start clearly kind of that position. And if he's not strong, he can provide a lot of quality from off the bench, making some amounts. So definitely positive. And it's interesting, isn't it? Because as I mentioned in that little vlog, Eric T'Nag signed me some months playing that position. Now, it didn't work. It backfired the whole kind of shift to that tactical strategy. And he had to change, obviously, when they have a cup, but it was a bad season. But it's interesting to say him now, because he's probably improved in that position in these teams to offer more control. So maybe it is more positive now. And it will actually work more than it did to begin with T'Nag. Yeah, I think there's certainly a possibility about that. And T'Nag tried to move to that style and got it horribly wrong, didn't he? But I do think-- I'm writing a piece about this in a minute. I think it's interesting that Eric clearly wants. It's almost a midfield in his image. Doesn't he? He wants a midfield that can control games. I've written about this and spoken about this that I've been told that the focus this summer is on a midfield technical quality. And then the mobility to get around the pitch. It's not like we have to sign a pure defensive midfield. It's we want technical players. And I've said to you, I don't think it's coincidence that Jason Wilcox is two lines of quotes for Santos and T-Lamonds both referenced, both included the word technical. Like they want ball players. Which is interesting, because it goes against the trend in the Premier League. Like the trend in the Premier League at the moment is for physicality in Jules and chaos. And no one really can control games. But for that position, we've discussed that it has shifted towards the more ball playing technical players. Obviously, you still got the physical side to players in number six. But we've said that. We've discussed this quite a bit in this podcast where there's definitely a different skill set you need to play as in number six in the Premier League these days. You do need to be more technical. Yeah, I think you do. I do think it shifted a bit last year when it did-- it was man-marking all over the pitch, wasn't it? And it was 11 individual Jules and set pieces. And it did feel like no one could really control games last year. Like that was kind of going out of fashion. And maybe it would come back in. but I think it's interesting that it feels like what Carrick's trying to do and the team in the midfield is trying to build is kind of bucking the trend of last season when it was like just jewels, physicality. Like if you put mounts in that deep midfield roll and it becomes a battle of jewels it's going to be tough for him because he's a smaller slender player isn't he? But he does get stuck in though. He does get stuck in. He does get stuck in but he's not going to be as physical as I can't think of a decal rice maybe. Yeah, Casamero, prime example. I said last year Casamero felt like made his bodyguard a lot of time and a second after the season. But yeah the thing about mount is while he met your own leadership. I thought it was really interesting. I mean it showed that leadership and he's been you know you're not been told as well the stuff you do with the academy that he's really good with the academy lads when they move up to seeing your training when they're about the place you saw him walking with a few of them in Trondon when you're about to put it into the walk on Friday morning. When lacy scored his goal and the MUTV cameras obviously were focusing and walking back and as they walked back to the center circle to halfway Mason mount had his arm around lacy and was basically like using his other hands to the classic sort of football tactician of like pointing and using two hands to make all these signals that we don't really know what they mean but you could tell him it's talking to him saying like do this do that this is tactical dude like a few like the tactical pointers and stuff like that and I was told was it is it tactical? It looked tactical yeah. I made that clear but there was a lot of gestures going on and it was like you know that that kind of shows his leadership the lacy's just scored MUTV congratulated him everyone else was walked off but he's now like try this try that you know whatever it whatever he was saying was clearly trying to offer good advice to a young player. Yeah he said that he enjoys that role passing on bits and pieces and I think he's got a bit of a coach's mind actually from having spoken to a few times he does clearly look at the game in a bit of an analytical way and let's touch on she lacy then because he started and he actually started as the number 10 not on the wing but his goal came from down the right and I said on that vlog again that there's a sense of the ability really having watched lacy for absolutely dozens of games and he had me when he gets in that position and he cuts in on his left he's just so good he's got a magic wonderful left foot and to be honest I didn't actually notice it at the time but Patrick Dorgue had a bit of a straw reminiscent of like Highland kick in the post that he didn't kick the post but he goes off why you not pass when the ball goes in the back of the net Dorgue quickly drops his hands and thinks well I can't I can't complain he's put it in and but Dorgue was in a good position and the angle actually looked quite unlikely but lacy's got the ability to pick the hour he kind of saw it and bent it in and he took his chance with both hands didn't he tie and these young players have to obviously as you've said all of them as a collective were impressive in that second half but lacy particularly considering he was given the nod to start I thought really did his chances no harm of getting into that first team has got on the permanent basis next season yeah absolutely you know he looks he looks sharp it was interestingly played as the number 10 because when that team come out there was a few you know a few conversations on social media people say he's going to play as a number 10 and I thought he was probably going to play on the right sincerely would have been the 10 with boom I went front with both options there but to put him as the number 10 is a show of faith from Karak I think him giving him that responsibility to you know you kind of steer the team from that position don't you certainly for Nandas does so a real show of faith I mean the interesting thing with lacy is there are positions in this squad that are absolutely right for a youngster to step up and forced away into the first team I think midfield the Tyler Fletcher is one left back with Harry Amass is another even maybe right back going forward there's going to be a question marks a long term I think about certainly Mazraway and maybe Dalloy and Jaden Kamasson there right wing isn't really one of them like it's a little unfortunate that if you're not in a playing sesquit front they sound another striker an abumant plays in the right or season and am I the plays in the right or season it's tougher for lacy to get in the team there like it's it's unfortunate in a way that he's coming through in that position but he's certainly going to be around at the season isn't he's going to get games you know the early rounds of the kind of like copy's going to get games he's going to be on the bench a lot I imagine there is something I think really exciting about him and it's going to be interesting to see first half of the season especially how he how he kicks on and how he takes his game but it is it's just potlock sometimes isn't it when a young player comes through if the position in front of them is well stocked then then it's harder for them and that that kind of is the case with with lacy at the moment but there's certainly opportunities there I think to any like I say he's taking it in preseason I thought he struggled to get in the game second half against Rexham and a couple of nice touches but you know you know controlled that young team controlled that second half against Rexham without ever looking like scoring and when it's they were much the whole team on both occasions in both halves on Friday were much better weren't they and I think that was a better better type of game for lacy it's just double checking a court there when I spoke to Travis Binion obviously he was formerly and 21 manager but he's now first team coach part of Michael Carrick's backroom stuff spoke to him September and after an academy game and he said listen everybody in the world knows about cheerlacy at that time if you know you might not know a first cheerlacy at that point but that thought was a reflection of kind of how he's viewed in the academy circles and in youth football because this talent for such a long time for over 10 years has been known down the country and then I'm thinking back to a conversation with Adam Lawrence who's now under 21 manager recently at the end of the season and he you could tell it the way locked in his eyes and he said look he said if I'll get too excited he does things at a generally first team level like in for courts like that to come out about this young player and courts is at united staff at united naturally downplay of these players don't know it's within their kind of a mandatory approach that they're approached they don't want to get carried away in the one of kind of temper expectations but for Binion and Lawrence to both say those say those things well lacy just think it speaks volumes really and we're seeing it now we're sawing his cameos last season he looked really good off the bench and I think he's now ready to take that step he looks like a man as well doesn't he's and that's what I think about a lot of these young players actually now they're starting to hit the point where they are ready for the first team including Harry Amaz you spoke about it either for each that he uploaded in how much of a man he now looks he's stocked out as me and if we're told by Jaden Kammison then because fair play didn't mean actually stopped in the mix only as he came out I managed to speak to him and I felt a bit sorry from because I said oh Jaden you got a minute came up to me and then poor lad a swarm of cameras naturally come around and I think he regretted it by the time when all those cameras were in his face and but he spoke really well he was quite mature and I thought it was really confident of him to come over but more importantly than that he recorded to his sister in the second half and great crosses really accurate crosses you missed time with an injury last season he was obviously good the season before that and but as you've said tied potentially an opportunity right back because if most worry let's see what happens with him it's just changed the agency long term is is future at the club and Dallas probably got that spot nailed down as it is but there's definitely potential spot there for Kammison then the next 18 most two years yeah I think so absolutely let's say my draw is a very valuable squad player but I don't feel like he's going to leapfrog dallo he could cover left back this year like say he feels like a type of player who might feel like he wants to move on and play more regularly in 12 months if if he hasn't really forces went to the team this year dallo and I thought dallo was pretty good second half of the season and I do think he's a solid right back especially in in this year or when you're getting less you know you don't have many right backs these days or fallbacks who bombed down the wing and we all know dallo's crossing and final third can be pretty hitting this what he's very good at is passing into midfield I think and he really helps unite is build up and I think that's quite an underrated part of his game that he's he's very good on the ball in a right back position at finding a ball into one of the midfielders and getting united playing and that's pretty valuable skill but like we say there is not everyone is convinced by dallo I think that's pretty obvious if mazari goes this clearly going to be a slot there I think you know we've kind of said 2025 was the the summer of the attack this is the summer of the midfield we all expect the defence to be looked at next year there's going to be questions around the centre of defence looks yours contract is up maybe mazari we leave next year maybe the desire to look at a right back up grade so there is going to be options there and you know no I mean no one was really talking about camison until Friday and it is only one performance he has to to build on it whether he goes out on loan this year and looks to maybe play a season of men's football and kick on from there but yeah I mean the assist we've got the wrong identical in terms of the board across the box the second one he did really well to beat his man in time just run really well and yeah it was a pretty promising performance and I think it's put him in put him in the thoughts of supporters in a way that on Thursday he probably wasn't so honest yeah I think it's actually funny with with dallo it's maybe opinions actually shifted finally again into the positive direction because absence makes it the heart for a fun there and when he was absent for a few games last season I think was so a drop up the dino and we saw what he actually brings to the team and it might not always be the most exciting stuff but he's very consistent isn't he dallo in follow the lead are you talk about the players with senior players and how the all of young players dallo is really good in that regard we'll just end on santa stent from the game because we've probably talked about it too much for a preseason match already and considering the content we've put out but I thought again another step in the right direction from santa stent I thought it was a bit rusty as I said against rex of some crisp passing and what really caught my eye was the pasta dog when it was a really difficult pasta see actually had the vision and the executed as well really crisp pass along the floor it deserved the goal dog hit the post and but he's clearly got more to his skill set then just kind of winning it and breaking up play and that's why you said tie he's been brought to the club he's a technical midfield that easy easy between a six and an eight isn't he yeah yes I've noticed as well in both games he's very good at winning fouls which is always an underrated aspect I think of a number six or a holding midfigilter or someone playing in that position to know when the pressure is coming the ability to win a foul and ease the pressure on your team and allow your team to get up the pitch and he did it a few times against rossumberg and cleverly put his body in the right position to to make sure he was fouled and win a foul that pasta dog was really good and it was interesting that move started with you know I had a free kick right on the right hand side and I ran about halfway and mount took it quickly and pinned a brilliant crossfield pass straight to the feet of Dorgu and it just totally opened the game up and suddenly like there was space for Dorgu there was space for Sunsostok combined and it all started because mounted seeing this switch and delivered it like literally the width of the pitch straight to Dorgu's feet it was a really you know two aspects of that were a really good move and yeah it was it was unfortunate Dorgu didn't didn't put it in the back of the net but yeah another decent performance and I think when we look what's the season now it was four four weeks on Saturday wasn't it I think we were away from the start of the season and set the moments at us amounts are rather the first choice midfielders because they're the only senior midfielders essentially aren't they but when when people come back when Maynu comes back when Sealamans come back they've got grounds to make up I mean Sealamans might be back next week I guess mount probably sorry Maynu probably only two weeks ten days before the start of the season so it does feel like Sanford's amount of kind of got the chance to lay down a marker here to be in the team against Hull and you often see it after a major tournament after a World Cup where the team on day one might look a little bit different to the team on you know game it for game week five when everyone's back and up to speed and fully fit but you know I think both of them at the moment are looking pretty good and they've looked a good partnership in these two games yeah moving on to transfer as then we'll finally move on from Rosembourg I think we've rinsed it enough I've got money to have we'll talk about two many because this lock with transfers plenty of moving plates and other transfers can have a knock on effect in real Madrid of sprung interaction in the transfer market sang in Dermonday from PSG or the sector sang him now that's an expensive deal around a hundred million pounds or euros I can't quite remember and that begs the question well they're gonna have to probably sell someone to finance that deal and now Vinnie Jr is emerged as a target for Arsenal if he hadn't perhaps people who would have thought well Madrid will be willing to let too many go to United it's often just spoken to some people across the weekend over there I mean still feels quite unlikely that too many deal happens just because the cost involved and our Madrid gonna sell him for eight million pounds after he's just saying the new deal I don't know maybe not but there could still be movement as I say expect and expected there's clearly different parts at player here where do you think was stand-with-it-high because at the end of the day I think too many would be the dream sang in it's just always been unlikely about whether it could actually happen yeah and you know it's it's still unlikely I think but it's certainly not impossible I mean he's you know he it was supported he signed a new contract three weeks ago now still not been announced by Real Madrid there's been no confirm it there's been no Camuna Cardo official to say that he has signed a new contract and I think you know the deamond I think from and of anything that they're probably connected I can't see them signing a winger to sell a midfielder and and Vinicius has obviously got 12 months left on his contract and from what you read in Spain hasn't shown great deal of intent to sign a new one so you know perhaps I mean that'd been incredible signing for the Premier League when it if you were to Arsenal but I think they're the interesting thing with with too many and the one to watch here I think is Roderie and if if Real Madrid can get Roderie which they seem to be growing in confidence that they can I think that potentially opens the door to Turemani co-workers. Do you sell a 30 year old or I sorry do you get in a 30 year old my feel because Roderie is at age to then sell a 26 year old who's too many in the prime of his career and obviously look Roderie's a massive name from the finest midfielder of his generation he's just won the World Cup he's ball and the Albany etc so maybe that's enough but if you're taking a slightly longer term view then you probably there's probably scope that you keep them both and then you sell Vinnie that's your sale perhaps potentially potentially but I think they're quite reasonably similar players and I think we're Roderie I mean Roderie is better you you're underestimating what Merinio likes he likes to have a bit feel there's have too many and Roderie is Roderie is a better player than Turemani I mean Turemani had a pretty tough World Cup like he only started four of the eight games the other four he was an unused sub he didn't he didn't have a great World Cup France were pretty pants that were the same yeah I mean France yeah I was hard to say France France were electric weren't they for six games and then I didn't even think they were that good no around what's the Senegal game Senegal were quite decent the script passed the beat who did the beat one now obviously the beat Morocco that was the the right in that game the script script who did the beat one now one game the four one anyways yeah I wasn't it wasn't overly impressed I wasn't no I actually to be honest I thought the wooded beats been but I wasn't completely I thought they were good into all the Spain game and then obviously the England game was just absolutely bizarre but it's enough a brilliant World Cup and Roderie did and the other the other thing with Roderie is that he's the Spain captain like there's a there's a caches having the Spain captain playing for Real Madrid a ball on door winner you can see why Ray I want him they didn't have a single Spanish player in the World Cup squad until they signed Kukarella to now signed the Spain captain I think would be massive so you know I think that's one to watch it there's got to be a reason that this contract hasn't been announced yet and it seems some uncertainty there and yeah whether whether it happens or not I don't know but I think you know I said a right to wait on midfield and I get the impression they are kind of waiting and deciding you know I was told last week that they they've got a long list and they haven't got a top target in that position at the minute and I think part of that is because it's let's just I think you're mainly would probably be their top target it's definitely available so it's let's wait and see what happens there and if they can get some clarity there then they decide where to go from the striker kind of hunt has gone a bit cold you know we're linked to some striker club bridge over the weekend it's potentially one for the end of the window at the moment it's not something they actively looking at I don't think and the left side of the pitch as well is going to be interesting because it's been talked that all summer we understand they have looked at the left side but is that left winger is that left back I think we both agree it probably feels like one of the other at this stage and there's obviously again different moving parts are played this dog who play on the wing does that mean you're saying a left back so they are going to make more signings in the next few weeks there's obviously got till September the first but we're probably are going to have a slightly busy end to the window because that's usually the case usually activity in the first part a bit of a little in the center and then it kind of comes to life again towards the end yeah and I think and you know like I said the midfield one is is kind of let's wait on to you mainly at the moment the left side of the issue I just don't think they're going to say a left winger well Rashford is stood at the club and at the moment it feels like Rashford is going to stay that probably puts you towards a left back the forward I think kind of it's on it feels like Zirkecy might go to facilitate that but at the moment Zirkecy can't go because sesco's not fully fit and also the other issue here is they've they've not sold the players they thought they were going to sell like I think there was a scenario where it was put thought could maybe bring in a hundred million from hoi land Rashford and Arnaugarte and suddenly hoi land's the only one that sold I don't think they're going to sell anyone else Zirkecy goes it's going to be on a loan and suddenly you're looking at I think that's why they're going to try and sell Raddek Vitech just because Agus stocks high at the minute I don't think his situation changes in 12 months time and they can also bring in some bring in some money for him in a summer when they're finding it I think harder than they expected to to sell players yeah you just got built in some decent clauses in that sale doing you as in a buyback clause perhaps a sell on fee which United have done a lot more on the last couple years to protect themselves but potentially it's only going to be 50 million pounds for Vitech it's probably hard to get more than that through season in the championship even though he's a very good prospect but you're right Ty it's disappointing United would would have liked to make more sales and would have liked to sell Rashford the Barcelona for 26 million pounds but that didn't happen and it's a problem the club have had over last 10 years isn't it they're improving their recruitment and the the buying of players but selling of players it's something it's really hard to actually improve because it's the stock that you've already got and where those players are out of their their careers so I was actually improve that it's difficult isn't it it's difficult to do I mean Chelsea you've been great to it I guess haven't they like you look at the gun at show thing now it's some belief what other managing to turn a tiny profit from from that given the season he said but is that not related to the more like that looks like a typical yeah yeah I can take you rub my back I really always kind of do that's fair shout but they're you know Chelsea have seen somehow seem to do well with selling players United's struggle I've always said some degree of sympathy here Manchester United are only ever selling players by choice if they're not good enough for Manchester United and that makes it difficult to sell them the market in Europe for players is almost non-existent like European clubs just don't really have the money to buy top end to Premier League players unless it's maybe Barcelona Madrid so it is it is tough to sell players you're right I mean United for all the the the briefing and counter briefing I think United would have absolutely loved Barcelona to take that option on Rashford would have solved such a big problem got a huge wage off the books 26 million coming in you got you know United said since it was always gonna be a profit as well that would be a rush yeah United have since said it got it was always gonna be alone now we've got kind of wage coverage with this I think about 6 5.5 6 million from FIFA you know I think there's a chance they could have sold you Garte to be honest I think he's still a sellable age not a huge salary clubs in Europe wanted him so you know I think it's a possibility they sold him I can't see them selling Zürksey I think that'll be a loan back to Serie A so yeah it's it's not easy to sell players but I think it's certainly not not worked out the way they kind of hoped with we say also yeah and it's Sweden this weekend I've let go Madrid the second that's right the very much of preseason well we'll come that later in the wake I think what was actually discussed that game well I've plenty to discuss as usual what we're talking sure we wealthy absolutely yeah you can do walk and talk you know time for one time to be a lot of time will you judge it up the flight oh well that can be your thing you're influenced here I can wait a week to walk yeah F Thanks for listening as usual, take care. (upbeat music)
