These Players Shouldn’t Be Free

[00:00:00]If you could be a football for any game, which would you be? Anyone with Messi?

[00:00:04]Uh, any game that Messi was playing in?

[00:00:06]Cuz I'd want I'd want to know what it was like to be touched by Messi. You're welcome. Well, Chad, if you could be a ball for any match, what match would you be a ball for? This is where we ARE IN THE LEAGUE TABLE, BY THE WAY. WE ARE FLYING. We're off to an absolute flyer.

[00:00:19]We've won 12 of our first 17 matches on the season. We got two more matches before we are halfway through THE SEASON. HOLY FREAKING TOLEDO, MAN. LET'S RIDE. DO WE HAVE MONEY LIKE GOING into uh the January break?

[00:00:34]We have some. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Damn it. Cruz Aazul, who makes AN OFFER ON DECEMBER 16TH.

[00:00:46]FINE, FINE.

[00:00:50]Don't know how I'm going to handle this at all, but I need to sign this guy.

[00:00:54]This guy is transparently worth a boatload of money. He's a high quality 59 dual winger forward. Fits our team so well. All right. What does this guy want?

[00:01:07]I'm sure he'd rather play for me than Cruz Aul. I say with absolutely zero confidence that that's true. Problem is, we have no room to register this guy whatsoever.

[00:01:18]I am illiterate and broke.

[00:01:21]He wants regular starter. You know, that's not that bad. Okay. Okay. What about squad player into important player? He's cool WITH THAT. YEAH. NO, IT'S A LITTLE HIGH THERE, SAILOR. SO, the real question is the wage budget cap that I'm sitting on. A 10% raise. Okay. I I I got to break out the calc. Oh, okay. Annual salary 1500 D. Annual increase rate 10%. Years five. This is what I was looking for.

[00:01:54]calculate.

[00:01:56]So, by the end of it, he'll be making 2.4 million per year by the end of his contract. That's something we can live with. Yeah. But this helps me. If I do this with the 10% increase, it really really helps me because it like his wage will be lower on the front end.

[00:02:18]He's worried about the release clause.

[00:02:21]I'm going to cry. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:02:24]Okay. Okay. In a manly way. Obviously, he's making nearly 3 million at the end of this contract.

[00:02:30]You are. I'll give you the 300,000 and I'm going to give you a relegation release clause that gives you a great out. If we get relegated, you're out for the exact release clause I'm bringing you in for.

[00:02:47]And 100,000 if you win. Here we go.

[00:02:49]Champions League.

[00:02:55]That contract had good value. We lowered the release clause by 30 million. I'm really surprised he said no to that.

[00:03:02]That contract had that contract had good value. First match of the stream at Espanol. Sa Ivandeer. We have a match in three days after this and then winter break. So maybe we want to rotate a little bit. Give me a win, dude. First match the stream.

[00:03:27]Shake it off. Shake it off. We're good.

[00:03:31]Gutierrez.

[00:03:34]That's beautiful. Mani Van Royan in space.

[00:03:46]Sarai.

[00:03:48]Sarai.

[00:03:58]Since when was Raul Sarai a dribbly boy like that? I didn't take it for a great dribbler. That is however a really nice bit of movement and finishing from Yuri Urban. We didn't panic when Sarai was like okay in his first season.

[00:04:13]Oh, that was pretty. That was really pretty. Imbomboic.

[00:04:17]Let's see if he can make this pass.

[00:04:19]Okay, he simplified it a lot. Kete is exactly where the other team does not want to be on hell. KETE. OH, GREAT BALL. HERADO DOWN TO HER BOTIC.

[00:04:29]EVERYTHING about this felt offside.

[00:04:32]We'll celebrate anyways.

[00:04:39]Clearly on. Clear. Look at those lines.

[00:04:43]He's way on.

[00:04:45]So on side. He is so on side.

[00:04:51]Oh, Van Royan.

[00:04:53]Let's not make that worse.

[00:04:57]Give me Rubio. Go. Van Royan's tweaked something.

[00:05:03]Come on. Quick, quick, quick. On the ground. There you go. There you go.

[00:05:06]That's where we need to get it. Himeme Gutierrez. Oh my goodness. That guy has two passing by the way. Kete. Kete.

[00:05:16]All right.

[00:05:18]Good Herado.

[00:05:22]He's not a great dribbler. Nice. Nice Sarai. Threading the needle between the player and the referee who's decided to join the other team apparently. Kete that's on side. Oh my. He was that was off. Just want to get Gregor on the field.

[00:05:42]Oh, Rubio. Oh, Rubio.

[00:05:55]Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

[00:05:57]Watching that highlight, I was like, "Wow."

[00:06:01]OH, IT'S A TURNOVER. HERBIC, WHAT A SAVE.

[00:06:05]>> I feel like Yuri Urbanic might be a guy like Sarai where he's going to need a year to adjust to the level of the game, a year to adjust to the country.

[00:06:15]a year to get comfortable enough to be able to do literally anything. That's a good win for us though. That's a good win. Potential pitfall. If we can win one more game, we've got 44 points from 19 matches to start the season, which is absolutely incredible. That is over two points per match.

[00:06:32]We'd be flying. Okay, he actually might be able to play the next match. Nine unbeaten. We could go 10 unbeaten into like two week break in January and then we're headed to the transfer window.

[00:06:43]That is such a dopamine hit just looking at Anhel Kete. And he has Knox ball past opponent and looks for the pass rather than attempting to score because he can't shoot. He's literally a perfectly engineered player. Perfectly tailored traits to his actual ability on the field, right? Mentally and physically just an absolutely brilliant player who continues to add technical aspects to his game. NO.

[00:07:06]OH, it's one to three days. He's fine.

[00:07:08]He has a bruised ankle that he will likely be able to just go on the field and play through. We also have that two week break for the winter break coming up right after this match where we dive into the transfer window. So even if he does reagravate it, let you stay start.

[00:07:24]Is Salvatore injured? No. Parenos is hurt. He has a cut leg that's causing him to miss the last two matches before the winter break.

[00:07:32]Blood the youth. Why are we blooding the youth? We're not blooding the youth. We could start Salvatore Roman. No, I'm not. No, we're not disturbing you's training. Okay, we're only bringing him up for the cup matches. The kid is 16.

[00:07:46]He just turned 16. Let him be a kid in the youth team. He's going to become a much better player in the long run if we let him do that. THE YELLOW SUBMARINE IS IN NORTH AFRICA. UD Malia on match day 19 looking absolutely scrummedious.

[00:08:03]A team that has been a late season Charger the last couple of years.

[00:08:08]This time having a pretty darn good first half of the season. Nice pass by Avande Cookarea. Good movement from Embombo. Good pass from Embombo.

[00:08:17]Vanroyan's got the underlap. It's Herado. DEFENSE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[00:08:26]Van Royan Surai Jawaniri Abbos Jawaniri GETEMBBO HE hit the post.

[00:08:36]Did Imbbo have any even one goal? Dude, Imbambo's been player of the match a good number of times this season. He's had a good year.

[00:08:45]He hasn't been unbelievable, you know, but he's been good. Oh, that's bad.

[00:08:53]Keep the energy up. That's unlucky. Oh, Kete. Kete.

[00:08:59]OH, THERE'S A RUN. OH, BUDDY. I was going to say we'll do a late game throw the dice with her Bonnock and just put him in there later.

[00:09:08]Evvande Rubio. Bring it back into the middle. Duran feeling it. Cesa, beautiful ball. Herado underneath it.

[00:09:16]Herado. Herado. Duran.

[00:09:20]Not his game, is it?

[00:09:23]Kete. OH, GREAT BALL TO ROMAN. YES, SIR.

[00:09:30]ALL RIGHT, keep it moving. Keep it moving. Keep it moving. What are we doing? Oh my. Bro, you're lucky Kukaray is so smart. He just moved back a little bit to create the space. Great ball by Cessa here. OH, GREAT BALL. OH, THERE'S A HATTICK FOR SALVATOR ROMANO.

[00:09:47]Could be more here. All of a sudden, the floodgates have opened. Roman, IT'S HERADO. IT'S HERADO.

[00:09:55]IT'S 4-1.

[00:10:00]LOPEZ. CESA. GUTIERREZ.

[00:10:04]Not a good pass, but Lopez will get there. He is a decent crosser though, Gutierrez. If he wants to hit one, CSA.

[00:10:09]OH, DURAN. IT'S FIVE.

[00:10:18]OH, LOPEZ. OH, what the hell's happening?

[00:10:22]Oh goodness.

[00:10:26]What a weird game this ended up being.

[00:10:27]This was 1-1 after like 70 minutes and it is now 52. All right, nice work everybody. That was a great win. First 70 minutes, we were a little tepid, but we found it. Salvator Roman has made a case to be the starting striker of this team. No lie, he has made a compelling case to be the starting striker on this team. Raul Sarai has a bruised name, man, you know. Oh, Vill just they just fired their manager, so that was nice.

[00:10:53]Um, they're down in 12th. They're having a bad year. They've sacked their manager. And chat, we well, they have a match in hand. We might have jumped ahead of Barcelona. We will see. It's time for the winter break. All 10 days of it. Uh, let's do a double check on our transfer situations, though. It's good to keep that sort of thing, you know, stay a breast of it to keep a keep it front of mind, right? Any other fancy phrase I can come up with, right? We've got um Emile Vitboy. I don't think we're looking for a loan at this point. I think we're looking for a sale. A sale that amounts to a lot more money than what we have right now. We're going to go ahead and set him is unavailable for loan and we're going to hopefully turn him into the bell of the ball for this uh window. And we have Selta Viggo that are apparently interested in a Yonas Fiar transfer. We're looking to unload Fiorto. We're looking to unload Emile Vitboy. Fiar's unloading won't open up a ton of wage. He's only getting paid $500,000 a year. It's why we kind of kept them around initially, but um it is the option that we have. Now, of course, there's Unai Guerrero and Marcen Zabski who are already going to have their transfers figured out. Uh we are also looking to move Joel Rojos. His value has dropped from 29 million to 3 million. We love that for him. So, we're thinking alone. OH, YOUTH INTAKE PREVIEW. YOUTH INTAKE PREVIEW. WE HAVE A YOUTH INTAKE PREVIEW.

[00:12:18]All right. It's a good intake. It's a good intake.

[00:12:24]Pierre Lang. Ooh, we got a kid named Maducila, Pierre Lang, and Christos Dervos. All right, remember this is the first intake that we are getting from Magdalina Ericson, our new youth intake person. We have a lot of forward players that are quality. The defensive side of this doesn't seem to be great. Now, the intake is usually fairly far off. It's a very rough guide, but at least we know we're getting one really good striker prospect out of this intake. All right, Maducil's got a lot of determination.

[00:12:55]This person, Pierre Lang, got great ups.

[00:12:58]Christos Dervos is very quick.

[00:13:02]So, you know, maybe some exciting guys.

[00:13:04]We won't know until March. Nadium Forest and Stoke are in the Premier League.

[00:13:09]Cole and Mines are in the Bundesliga.

[00:13:13]He's eligible for both of those. Kreman is Syria. I think we go Premier League.

[00:13:17]That's where the That's where the biggest money is, dude. There's two two loan offers for literally Premier League teams. looking for mid-season reinforcements and I am more than happy to provide them. It's the richest league in the world. He plays enough for uh Paraguay where he would very easily be signable for all of those teams. I think Stoke and Nottingham Forest would be great loans for Joel Rojos to build up his value in the eyes of the world. We got 100 players in our scouting report as well. Well, this is an eventful intro. We're going to go to our yes list and then go to contract status expiring in six months. And that'll narrow down a couple of the guys that maybe are letting go that they shouldn't be. Oh yeah, Andrew Ortega. The fact that he's ava he's available, right?

[00:14:03]Dude, getting this guy for free. Are you kidding me?

[00:14:08]This is a nightmare losing this guy for free.

[00:14:16]Oh, and his wage demands are low. Oh my goodness.

[00:14:20]This is an unbelievable free snap up here if we can get it. Okay, I'm not going to blow this. We'll just go to 650 where he's definitely going to be cool with it.

[00:14:30]Ander Ortega, a great replacement for Jawen Giri just organically.

[00:14:38]I mean, he's just right there. And then there's Anel Simone. I mean, there's multiple guys that we would love to have like Anel Simone is 19 years old with that kind of burst. And then there's Javier from Sevilla. Some contract disasters are brewing, chat. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, Sunderland, and Tottenham are all interested in this kid. Um, I think we got to we got to beat them somehow. And how can we beat them but with playing time?

[00:15:08]Uh, do we just give him the exact contract he wants? Yeah, I think so. I think we give him the exact contract he's asking for. We put the contract on the table. We dare him to say no. Um, Brahim Diaz, 33 years old, over 100 caps for Morocco. He's kind of a, you know, figurehead in these parts, but we're already so strong on the wing.

[00:15:31]He says he looks to potentially add another one.

[00:15:35]Breakthrough prospect. Yes.

[00:15:40]Are the teams interested in you?

[00:15:42]Literally all of them again. Okay. So, we're just going to give him this contract.

[00:15:49]Javier, I mean, this is a I this is an alltime transfer window by itself. If we can get Simone Ortega and Javier all for free.

[00:15:59]If we can get all three of those guys for free, I'm also willing to see what he Okay, he's not a star player. He's not asking for star player. And with his savvy vet experience, his ability to play two positions in my system, I he could try to play a little midfield, but I don't think he has the stamina. Yeah, getting just one of those guys would be massive. Yeah, I agree. Getting one of those guys would be absolutely huge.

[00:16:23]Several clubs have made offers for Anel Simone. It doesn't tell me which clubs.

[00:16:28]Arsenal, Roma, Cremon, Juventus, Benfica, Kadis. Don't worry, we've given him more playing time than they did.

[00:16:34]He's totally ours. You're coming up.

[00:16:38]Sambasar, I'm very sorry. You spent 6 months in the wilderness. You are coming up now.

[00:16:43]And then we are going into our registration and we are undoing a few things. One, we're taking Yonas Fartto out and we are putting Sambasar in.

[00:16:55]Sambbasar is a must-have member of this first team. We were not able to get him in there right now. He also wasn't able to play for the B team because registration was already closed. He played a couple of cup matches and basically ended up in the wilderness.

[00:17:07]We're now bringing him up into the first team. It was a mistake and we hope that over the rest of his career he can overcome that issue. Oh, let's go. Oh, WE OH, THAT'S LOW, BRO. THAT'S LOW.

[00:17:19]That's low. 2.8's a little low there, Buster.

[00:17:24]He's 25. He's in his prime. He's really a hell of a player. But I think, you know, it's the first. It's the first.

[00:17:29]It's the first. I'm not going to tell.

[00:17:30]Now, this I'm very interested to see what they're going to get me. Beautiful.

[00:17:33]Beautiful. Beautiful. We can mold this.

[00:17:36]We can mold this. They've left it open.

[00:17:39]The fools.

[00:17:45]Oh boy. This has not gone according to plan. Meanwhile, we have a match.

[00:17:51]Welcome back from our 10day winter break. We're playing MALAGA IN THE OH, THE COPA DEL REY. OH, I didn't clock it.

[00:17:58]They're a second division team. Our B team's literally better than them. Okay, so Raman's on the right, Lopez on the left, Bonic at Striker, Cesa, Duran, Sar, but we're usually, you know, we're not using like B team or not guys for this game. We're using first team guys for this game. Oh, play him, play him, play him. There you go. Salvatore Raman Duran Rubio Salvatore Roman Yuri Urbanic Urban Lopez.

[00:18:33]OH, THAT WAS SO WELL WORKED. AND WHAT A COMPOSED FINISH BY THE ACADEMY KID.

[00:18:38]Pedro Lopez.

[00:18:41]Claude Maurice away. Nice. Oh, we're counter. THERE'S NOBODY THERE. PLAY IT.

[00:18:49]JUST KIDDING. THERE'S TWO GUYS THERE.

[00:18:50]OH, GOOD BALL BY LOPEZ. URBAN. HERBONIC.

[00:18:58]WHAT A COUNTER. YURI URBANIC DANCING ON HIM IN MALAGA.

[00:19:04]He's got a lot of first team experience now, too. Pedro. Oh, no. Rubio.

[00:19:10]Good save by Ela Gomez.

[00:19:16]Stay. Oh my goodness.

[00:19:23]>> Broy picks it up there. Lopez. Gutier.

[00:19:26]Gutierrez. Come on. You're not big.

[00:19:29]You're not strong. You're not a great passer. You got to be a great defender.

[00:19:35]Lopez. Sambbasar. Cutting inside.

[00:19:38]Sambbasar. Pedro Lopez. Pedro Lopez.

[00:19:42]Back to Sambasar.

[00:19:44]to Pedro. OH, YURI URBANIC. THE MOVEMENT, THE PRECISION.

[00:19:49]RAZOR SHARP FROM THE 19YEAR-OLD CHECK.

[00:19:53]That is He's offside. He's offside. He's offside. Calm down. Calm down. He's offside. We're good. We're good.

[00:20:03]All right. Well, we didn't utterly dominate them, but we got some good performances out of Cessa, Matu, Merciel, Reliable. Of course, Lopez and Dererbonic for the most part kind of turned up and did a good job. Thievery.

[00:20:15]I'm the fox in the hen house. I'm the fox in the hen house. On an end of contract. We got this on an end of contract.

[00:20:28]I don't know what uh Bill Bao is doing.

[00:20:32]I have no idea what Bill Bao is doing.

[00:20:35]They've had this guy playing with their affiliate. It's just been a nightmare for them. He's been a Boba B team player his whole career.

[00:20:45]There's a log jam above him. He He doesn't want to renew or he wanted a new contract. They didn't give it to him. Free real estate.

[00:20:55]One person's trash is another man's treasure. Andrew Ortega is coming into UD Malia. Also, we got 19-year-old winger and forward Javier from Sevilla's Academy.

[00:21:07]He has made four bench appearances in La Liga and scored one goal this season and yet they were not able to retain him on a contract despite potential end of contract interest from a lot of the big teams. Javier is joining us at 19 years of age. Oh my goodness. Ortega and Javier have confirmed they have signed contracts with UD Malia.

[00:21:34]He's not able to leave right now. We could pay 1.7 million to get Ortega. No, we're not going to do that. We'll wait till the end of the season. We will wait till the end of the season. There is one other transfer we're looking at. Anel Simone currently under a contract offer from Arsenal, Roma, Creman, Juventus, Benfica, and Gadas. We have offered him playing time. These other teams did not offer him playing time. We have offered him playing time. We believe that'll be the way to maybe get him to accept over those other teams. There you I'm going to give you a million a year actually on hell. Simone, all that interest confirms to me what I already know. That dude is a dog. That guy is a dog. Oh, that's nauseating. That's so low, dude.

[00:22:22]The asking price was too low. I can do this twice.

[00:22:30]9.25 25 million is an acceptable Vitboy asking price. Okay, fine. Farttov, nobody offered.

[00:22:38]And Yanz and Patrick, great.

[00:22:42]Danny Yanz earlier today wanted to talk about his asking price.

[00:22:47]We try to negotiate a fair price. Oh my goodness, man.

[00:22:53]4.6 million. That's fine. So, Vitbo is looking at nine. What was it? nish.

[00:23:00]Ah, frigin is son. What? What the the how you've been treating him over the last couple of months? What? That I'm offering you out. I You know, I'm going to go ahead and put you on the transfer list. There is enough interest around you. You've already gotten one offer that came in.

[00:23:16]I'll look for a move as soon as possible.

[00:23:20]There you go. He's transfer listed. The move is available. It's available.

[00:23:26]Offers in for Yazir Motti, who's got a lot of potential left to grow into. Good athlete, good mentally, physically, eh, but the bid is zero dollars.

[00:23:44]Here's the deal, Yazir. Here's the deal.

[00:23:47]I'm actually going to lower your asking price a lot so that you'll take less money. Dude's literally free. I would gladly take a $25 million check for you.

[00:23:55]And then obviously if it looks like he's going to be better than that, we will extend his contract and raise that.

[00:24:04]There's your offer here. It offers you a lot of mobility.

[00:24:14]We went two for three on our big end of contract poaches.

[00:24:18]Joel Rojos is headed to Nottingham Forest for the rest of the season. In his defense, I I don't think he's ever done He has no interest in joining Florentino.

[00:24:31]Also, what, you know, we'll just check in on Ruben Herado, who's apparently making pleasing progress. He's getting a lot smarter.

[00:24:37]Added a little passing, a little defensive ability to his game. His heading's getting better.

[00:24:42]He's really just getting smarter. He also upped his acceleration by one. So, Ruben Herado is that dude. Um, Audrey's happy his promise was kept. All right, I'm not going to take that. It's a guaranteed 44 million with 33 up front and then $16 million after 50 games, which he would hit. I was wondering what Florentina was going to angle to do.

[00:25:06]Yeah. And he wants to stay, too. We're not going to anger him by rejecting. If we could negotiate it, I was going to try and get, you know, like 60 70 million up front and then I feel like it might be worth it. But he's also looking like he's going to be Oh, start. They don't have money. Oh, they do. Wait, hold on.

[00:25:23]After 20 league appearances with a buyback price of 36 million and we contribute some wage and they have a percent profit, I think we take this.

[00:25:33]I'm not even kidding. I think we take this. Does he want to go? I It's already It's a guaranteed 8.4 million with seven up front. I'm pretty darn sure we get that 2 million. Like he's he's a very good player. He'll get 20 games at start pretty easily. I don't care about the buyback price. I don't care about the wage contribution. It's very low. And 20% profit means if he does develop and they sell him on for like 25 million, we'll get a check as well.

[00:25:56]The selling waves contribution is literally 70,000 a year. It's not bad.

[00:26:00]It's a guaranteed 8.4 million. It looks like 10.4 million pretty comfortably after one season. He's going to hit 20 games played. He's a very good player for start. Um they're going to be really happy with this, but I think we take it.

[00:26:13]I think it's a decent deal where if Yartov does hit another wave of development because he starts playing a ton, we'll never buy him back for 36, but we could make more money off that.

[00:26:24]We signed him for seven, so it's a guaranteed small profit with, you know, I think a couple million in transfer profit overall. We never paid him a big wage. He never wanted wage. He wanted playing time. And that became a bigger and bigger issue for us to be able to offer. Obviously, I mean, we've got him offering out. of Seltviggo make an offer. Oh yeah, we'll just take that.

[00:26:44]I'll just take $10 million for him.

[00:26:47]John Giri steps down there. Mazibuko steps there and let's play. We're playing Valencia.

[00:26:54]We are tied with Barcelona coming out of the winter break. We are on an absolutely rabid run of form. We are at Valencia.

[00:27:05]This is a solid, fairly difficult match, but the way our team has been playing, we're starting to find ourselves. We've got a nice core of players who've been through the ringer with us for a few years like Kelvin Embombo, right? And we've got a nice injection of a couple of great signings that have been a huge help for us. Imbambo. Kelvin and Bambo.

[00:27:23]Kelvin and we're good. Kete.

[00:27:28]OH, HE'S OFF. OH, HE'S SO OFF.

[00:27:34]Good luck trying to defend the right side of our team.

[00:27:38]Kete. He's already on a yellow from either Embombo or Kete who've just been tap dancing around him.

[00:27:46]And you know he he starts lunging on that yellow card. He starts lunging.

[00:27:52]Don't start lunging. That's just going to make it worse.

[00:27:57]Gettes ball looking for Herado. Nice touch. And Royan Parado Sarai have it son.

[00:28:09]All right, Ivande a nice ball. Nice ball by Danny. Had a lot of space to make that work. Van Royan. Oh, bring it to your left and shoot.

[00:28:25]>> Sublime.

[00:28:27]Oh, Bugarea Herado Imbambo. IT DEFLECTS IN.

[00:28:35]KELVIN BAMBO'S GOT THE GOAL.

[00:28:40]IMBAMBO.

[00:28:46]OH, the ball in. Oh, Kelvin Vanroyan Karea. Oh, he's so offside.

[00:28:56]There is no way that was on Raul Sarai. Classy tons of space on the outside cuz the way they're set up defensively. Kete. Kete Herado. Oh, that would have been sick.

[00:29:23]Van Royan. Oh my goodness. Bangani. He's feeling it. HE'S FEELING IT. BANGANI AND BOMBO. THAT'S BRILLIANT. PLAY IT AGAIN.

[00:29:32]That is brilliant. PLAY IT AGAIN. KELVIN Embombo has a brace by Gonnie Van Royan showing his quality. Really the one time I'm like, "I'll just let it ride. I'm sure it'll be fine."

[00:29:46]You know, it's only like 10 minutes of him playing with an injury, a mild injury, and now Duran's like fully picked up the injury. That was a great performance. That was a great performance by the boys.
