Back to your calls on all of tonight's action. 03717234 is the number Man United rich has dialed. Right. Man United Rich behave. >> What do you mean? >> What do you mean? Man United rich. >> O. Can we just behave? Can we not do this tonight? >> What do you mean? What do you mean? He says Man United rich in front of me. Rich. >> Jermaine. He knows I'm a Liverpool fan. He thinks it's a funny joke that he every show every time. >> Gemma. Gemma. What's written on your box? >> Let me have a look. >> I believe you. I'll believe you. Rich. >> Don't agree with him. Right. I've coming up to talk about Liverpool. Let's not do this again. >> Man United rich. >> I'll be honest, it's tin as Man United rich. I'm not going to lie. >> Germaine, I was I lied at Halime. Don't let him do this to me again. >> All right. All right. >> I I I believe you. >> Man United Rich, what you want to say? >> I want to phone in and talk about the positives tonight. Right. Let's do it. Like I agree with what what you said tonight, Candy. Right. It's LA. We should be winning. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. [snorts] Yeah, >> I agree with what you said as well with with um like like with Flo like with Flo when I looked at a team sheet tonight and I thought Barkler great opportunity for him to be getting goals >> like you think for young Lewis Kumas that was his first Premier League start of the weekend against City that's a big game to be starting in and he he did he did himself well you know he did >> and his first Champions Champions League start tonight he got a goal that's a positive but for Flo we need to be looking at other options like McConnell McConnell should be getting an opportunity there we need to be rotating like he's not a playmaker. I I agree with Kundi like 120 million pounds like at what point do we say right you ain't a playmaker you work off the ball yeah fantastic but what time do we start to rotate or why doesn't Dom get an opportunity of playing that 10 role why haven't we done I know he's out injured at the moment but Dom could do that perfectly I >> I think sorry go on Rick go on >> no go on go on I want to hear your opinion >> no I I think that the clock is ticking I I think everyone's aware probably the managers aware as well teams aware But they have to with the price tag have to stick with this and hopefully it comes good at some point. It's still 23. He's he's not reaching his prime yet. So there is >> time for him to to grow and but what what the frustration thing is is that this is his second season. So, and we and that whole time we've not really come away from a game and went, "WOW, FLORENZ what we expect coming. You're expecting a playmaker like that." That's what we expect. >> Do you know what Jammer makes a very good point, right? He is 23 and we are we are quick to judge. But the problem is in especially in the Premier League, it's it's an unforgiving league. And >> even though his prime may well be in two years time, what do those two years look like? That's the problem. What do they look like? And if he cannot cut it now, no one's going to continue to say keep playing cuz he's not in his prime yet. Unfortunately for him, he he's been bought into do it now. That's the problem. Yeah. But if I give Rich, I'll give you a little a little bit of stat. >> Can I ask you one more question before you before I go? >> Go on then, mate. >> Right. Right. So, uh, you me you mentioned about a player like a right back potentially coming back from Germany. Do you know something about a Quansa buyback deal? Because I know there is a buyback clause. >> I think you [laughter] know. >> No, no, there is a buyback indeed. No. >> Yeah, but you know something that we don't. >> What you know? >> Listen, I'm just thinking there's going to be movement in January from Germany. Now you know something. Why Germany? >> Why not France? What? >> Why not France? >> Because [laughter] Germany. >> It's not often I see Gemma stuck for words, right? >> Gemma. >> Yes mate. >> How do you know? >> I just know that there will be an incoming and an outgoing from Germany. That's that's all. That's all. That's all. >> How do you know? >> It could be French one. It could be Quanza. I don't know. >> Should have asked Julian. >> Should have asked Julian. He might have. >> You said Germany. >> No, but Julian's all over Europe. He's not just a friend. >> Yeah. >> No, it was good. It was positive. We'll have a positive transfer window, Rich. >> Okay. Good. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what like defensively we've done? Well, Jac and Araljo. Yeah. >> Araljo needs to be permanent, I think. >> Let me let me both let me ask you both a question. This and this goes to all Liverpool fans, right? >> If Florian Verz come through into the youth team and 23 right now and he come through the youth team, would he still be in the team? >> Um Probably not. >> No, no, probably not because he would have come through a lot younger. And when you're looking at players like McConnell, I look at like trine, I know it's a different position, but troni, I think he should be one of the first teams with a team sheet. >> But do you know what it is, right? If you look at Kevin de Bruyne when he was 22 23, he was let go by Chelsea. >> He then went on and and Moella and then he went on to be one of the best, you know, attacking midfielders in Premier League history. So I think we just need to be a little bit patient with him with with Floren Vertz because we know there's a talent there but I think because of the price tag we're expecting it now that he got brought in to do it now to be the difference now not in two to three four years >> he's that's the problem he's going to have and also Kevin De Bruyne's build >> I mean you look at look at him he built >> even Salah I look when Salah left Chelsea right he come back level >> he was he was a little like a little bodybuilder >> like he You try and knock him off the ball, Salah. >> He was ripped like Jamie. >> You jam, you try and knock him off the ball. You can't knock Salah off the ball. Blurt, >> mate, he's he's you know, he's >> blow him. He >> This is why I want my flowers. I I played many years in the Premier League, right? >> You were quick and strong. You were little. Yeah, but you weren't You weren't averts. >> Oh, no. You can't do that jammer, mate. [laughter] >> Why you doing that? Harry's playing the violin jam. >> Vert. sucker at lace his boots, but he's absolute bags of talent. But you just need to Yeah, it's got to give him time. Got to give him >> maybe like Rich. >> Yeah. >> Well, you answered. Oh, you answered TO IT. >> YOU F THAT one staying. >> Cheers, Rich. >> Cheers. >> Cheers. >> Cheers, bud. Let's go and get a call from the West Ham fans. Luke Zade is dial 03717234. Luki, >> hello mate. How are you? Oions. >> Oions. >> Oions. What a win tonight. >> Well, what a win. What a win. But yeah, >> great win. >> Um, they went down nine men. I seen I seen they're both sending off. They're both sending offs. Poor tackle. Yeah, they're both They're both reds. >> My argument is the second one. Obviously, the second card like >> they're down to 10 already. Why you do it? >> Well, footballers make stupid decisions sometimes, but at the moment you think you probably can get there. He's dragged >> that time. Jason >> Oh, oh, Al's on the button. >> There we go. >> Um, yeah, it's a very good question. But >> yeah, every red card you could say what was he doing? >> You know, what what's he up to? >> But yeah, you're right. Down to down to nine men, 10 men, rather. When you do that, you basically the game was over then, wasn't it? >> Wasn't Grabber, though. You know what I mean? It's not >> What do you mean? Then have this conversation. >> You say red. It's not a red color. >> Not every player is a red play. >> It's a second yellow, mate. >> It's not even a yellow second. You can't do that. >> You can't do that. Go on then. What do you want to say, Luky? >> No. Anyway, do you remember a few months ago Ohara >> said, "Look forward to Lincoln." >> Yeah. >> Away. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Look forward to where is he tonight? Is he got Is he sick? [laughter] >> No, he's not sick. >> People don't >> People don't listen. People don't take time off just because of results in football. I don't know what you guys You guys are nuts. People think I don't turn up for show and Chelsea get beat. Chelsea game ends at 10 to 10. >> True story though. >> You think people if you want to phone up say I can't come in tonight 10 to 10 people just rock up around the corner. >> Yeah boy. >> You're not nuts. >> Lincolnously [laughter] is that why you phoned up? >> No, of course I haven't. >> I told it would have been a tough game though. 111.
