Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm joined now by Alex Stewart.

0:10.4

Good morning, Jake. And Seb Stavard Bloor. Hello, Joe Devine. Hello. Welcome to today's episode. This is a sensible transfers episode. It's the final in the sensible transfers series. We'll be discussing

0:22.0

all the names that you could have ever hoped that we'll discuss. Probably not, but some very

0:26.1

interesting players will appear on our list. And of course, the concept for today is to talk about

0:32.0

individual players that may or may not be leaving the clubs that they currently play at where they

0:37.3

might fit in, where

0:38.2

they might go and have conversations around that. It's all very exciting. And we've got a very

0:43.7

exciting part two to today's episode as well, don't we, Seb? Sure do. We have a, we have got

0:48.8

a long chat with David Ornstein who talks us through what life's like for him at this time of year, what's like to try and break

So if you fancy yourself as a bit of a future onestein, then give that listen to you. Well, I'll have to listen then, because I'm young.

1:47.0

You're not young.

1:48.9

I am young.

1:49.9

You are disqualified from being young.

I think boxing is one of them, and there's also...

2:26.6

The boxing section is really good, Joe, so it's one to plug.
