| 0:00.0 | My name's Sharzad Kiade. I'm a Gemini Pescatarian, a mom of two wild little boys. I'm Susan Yara. I'm a mom of two also. This morning, I went to the bathroom alone. I woke up at five, put my boob in her mouth, and then she took a dump because that's what she uses me for. That's what you're going to hear a lot of our stories and experiences and our crazy journeys to motherhood. It's for all moms, |
| 0:22.9 | not for all dads, not fathers and moms, for all moms. It's going to be good all time. You guys are |
| 0:27.6 | going to want to stick around, promise. So subscribe. Hello, welcome to the T4 football podcast. |
| 0:34.9 | I am Joe Devine. Today's episode is called Sensible Transfers. Now, what does that mean? That means that Alex Stewart here, who joins me today, hello. Hello. You are here acting in your role as Tifo's head scout or director of football. Something like that. Or Big Pretender. Big Pretender. Big Pretender. Mostly big pretender. And what we're going to do, |
| 0:55.8 | I should let you know as well, we've got a few videos coming out in this vein, club specific, |
| 1:00.4 | some of the big clubs in the Premier League, maybe elsewhere too. We haven't really decided yet. |
| 1:04.8 | But the aim is to talk about transfers. It's the summer, of course, and the window is open. Things are |
| 1:14.1 | happening. People are moving. It's very exciting. But we tend to avoid talking about it, |
| 1:19.7 | partly because we can't create videos quickly enough to get them out in time for them to be relevant. |
| 1:24.1 | For example, we were going to make a video, or we are making a video about Daniel James, I believe that is going out tomorrow if you're listening to this on |
| 1:31.3 | day of release. But of course he finalised his move to Manchester United mid-process of creating |
| 1:37.8 | the video, which can be quite irritating, so we have to change a lot of things, go back |
| 1:43.0 | and change things. That's why we don't do it. |
| 1:45.2 | Also, we don't really deal in rumours here. |
| 1:47.8 | So what we've done is we've decided to take one of the most exciting parts of football |
| 1:52.2 | and make it as boring as possible so that it fits with the TIFO brand. |
| 1:56.6 | What does that mean? |
| 1:57.5 | That means we asked our listeners last week for suggestions in the form of club and roll on the pitch. And we wanted to know who listeners and fans would like to see fill those roles at their club. For example, the first one on the list is Manchester United goalkeeper in the event that David DeHia leaves. |
| 2:21.7 | And so what we tasked Alex with doing is, I mean, you're probably a better place to explain this to me. |
| 2:22.2 | But from what I understand, you looked at stats and tactics to, that's right, isn't it, to work |
| 2:29.0 | out exactly who you should be. |
| 2:30.6 | You've got a funny face. |
