Hello there and welcome to a brand new R-Splog R-Scatist right here on R-Splog.com.

So basically fuck you weather and there you go. I don't know what I expect in fairness. It's January in Ireland.

I mean it's not shorts and t-shirts country is it? Why am I living somewhere where it's a lot warmer? I will never know. I don't quite understand it myself.

I used to and now I'm here. What the fuck? How the fuck did that happen?

Anyway, anyway I hope you're well after what has been a quiet enough sort of a week. Well it was quiet until yesterday and then everything went like crazy mental.

We had a couple of things go on early in the week relating to the transfer window which was that yeah, yeah, Senogo went alone to Crystal Palace.

Good luck to him there. I hope he scores a lot of goals. Really I do honestly. I hope he does well there. I think the managers got some faith in him. So we want him to go there and do well. But you know what's what's he going to do with Senogo and Shamek up front.

That's a striking partnership for the ages. That one isn't it? Yeah. And then we sold Benica Fobé. He was on loan at MK Don's and he's gone to wolves. So that's that done.

And nothing much was happening in terms of in terms of what was going on with players coming in apart from of course the young Polish guy who's called Christian Bielik Christian Bielik Christian Bielik Bielik Bielik. I did ask on Twitter and it's Bielik.

And when you put his name into Google Google translate his surname translates as bold eagle. So Christian bold eagle. I like it. He's only 17. He might have only played eight minutes of first team football. But he is a bold eagle. And they're pretty awesome. I'm not one for birds in general. I may have explained this before. I don't like the flapping of them.

And the talons and the wings and the beaks and the eyes and the squawking and kind of being able to see stuff from really high in the sky. I don't like any of it. You know anything I like about birds is eating them.

Not bold eagles or swans. I wouldn't need a swan. I'd say they're quite tough. Generally speaking. And you're not allowed to legal to eat a swan. It's true.

They're magic or something. I don't know why. If you can eat a goose, why can't you just want if you really want to do I don't want to. But you know the other birds Ali but I like the idea of having the bold eagle as our defensive midfielder. Quite interesting.

Wasn't there a player? Was it a Tiliolombardo? Was he known as the bold eagle? I'll have to look this up. Hang on.

Yes, I think because yes, of course he went to crystal palace. Crystal palace are known as the eagles and he didn't have any hair. So he became the bold eagle. Nothing to do with his beak or his talons or his eyesight when he's a thousand feet in the air soaring above South London.

No, it was it was much more prosaic than that. So yeah, it looks like this young guy is going to be our first signing of the transfer window.

We'll get a little bit more on that later on when we talk to our guests.

But a 17 year old defensive midfielder. I watched a YouTube video of him. I know I know you shouldn't but I did and he looked he looked good in the YouTube video.

But then lots of people look good in in YouTube videos because you only pick the good bits of what they do. Some of the good stuff that he did was was pretty good tackled and passed and scored a few and he's tall.

He's six foot two. Maybe he is the answer to all our DM needs. Maybe by the start of next season he could be the man anchoring our midfield.

Because at the moment, well, it's all a bit precarious a bit up in the air because well Matthew Flaminy is Matthew Flaminy and Francis Cochaland come in done well.

We discussed this in the arscast extra on Monday myself and James. We don't have a listen back to what we were saying but basically while appreciative of what Cochaland has done and impressed by it.
