| 1:11.7 | We just wanted to end then let's talk about Mark Getty here and defenders then again in your report you suggested he's expected to stay at the Palace more not just from the chasing close points we were actually because the Palace I think and you know we can do so anyway we can qualify for Europe again in the Premier League they are in the Conference League and I know they've got a qualifier to play and hasn't exactly gone swimmingly well so far but they will still be if they get through that that qualifier they one of the favourists to win that competition premier league teams often are gone yeah yeah I'll expect to do quite well in that competition so I understand that from their point of view so from a Liverpool point of view I guess I suppose it would be yeah if Palace decided to sell them maybe they're pulled in that market now and try and get him early but you mentioned before but being stressed up front the person, I only stressed that centerback as it currently stands right now they've got two fit ones and now joe gomez isn't apparently too far away but you never know with joe really even like the back-ups in bataroendo's been out injured obviously leone he's out for the reign of the season pretty much with his ACL so centerback is the one where i was thinking it makes sense. If they think maybe Matt Gehie isn't going to leave Palace now and need therefore won and we'll go for the summer but there is still an absolute need a centre back and with the future of Ibuquerade and Joe Gormes particularly maybe a long term future's at doubt is there any scupplerlip Liverpool are looking at centre-halfs in this market as well, |
| 1:25.8 | both in the short-term and the long-term, because that is nearly the squad. Where, like one more, is you at the back there, and in the position where they're playing my field does that centre-back? Yeah. Yeah, I think for the summer we will see a little bit of a changing of the guard in the centre-back department. I think obviously Vajel will still be there |
| 1:26.8 | heading into the final |
| 1:27.6 | year of his contract |
| 1:28.5 | still expect |
| 1:29.8 | Liverpool to try and muscle ahead of the pack and bring Mark A in as a free agent. I think Granate at the moment it's looking like, you know, you have to say he might be moving on, doesn't it? Because there's still no real breakthrough in his contract situation. Leone will come back and he will be, you know, |
| 1:46.6 | I know people hate the phrase, but he will be like a new signan. |
| 1:49.1 | He's only played, what, 80 minutes of a league cup tie. |
| 1:51.9 | So, yeah, maybe one or two coming in on the centreback front in the summer, |
| 1:55.8 | but at the moment I think Liverpool feel they can muscle on through. |
| 1:59.3 | I don't think Slot wants a particularly big squad. |
| 2:03.0 | You mentioned recently about Liverpool and not having unlimited money, |
| 2:06.0 | which is fair enough, given there some of they've come off. |
| 2:08.9 | Even with the net spend figure, it's still the biggest spending transfer window they've ever had. |
| 2:13.9 | So that still has to pay for itself. |
| 2:17.3 | So yeah, January, I can't really see... you've ever had so that you know still has to pay for itself um so yeah i you know january |
| 2:19.4 | can't really see anything happening centerback wise you know even though i can understand people |
| 2:25.8 | who want a centerback and think that the options are a little bit stretched there but just from |
| 2:29.8 | the from the club's perspective i think they will persevere with what they've got with a view to maybe doing one or two in the summer. Yeah, I suppose it could change, I suppose, theoretically, if Patless decides. Yeah. You know, listen, we will take the X amount of money that we can get now. Whether Mark Gaye wants to do that again, it's on him, because he's due a big win for in the summer. He can speak to anyone. on his of clubs like you mentioned in Saturday won't just be lippool having a quick go at him but I suppose I was thinking on the palace front and again they're well than their rights to keep their player like they did and well than the rest to keep again in January but it does look like olly glasner will be leaving that club in the summer as well in the past summer it was like well by all account you know for your selling and I might go kind of thing that was the hand of the mood music around it I wondered if you know Steve Parrish and the powers that be a palace like well can we really afford to turn down 20 to 25 million pound now are we better getting that to get its replacement in or like you said are we better um I said in your piece rather are we better just stick with what we've got we might win another trophy we've won we won the the FA Cup we won the community shield we've got a very good chance potentially at winning this community conference league rather than maybe again FA Cups on the table for them. They've got a fable third round or away to Macclesfield. |
| 3:41.3 | So it feels like the balls in Pallis has caught from this one because if Pallas decided to sell, you'd imagine there'll be a queue of clubs anyway. We'd take Mard Gayne out to make sure they get them, and you'd expect to be in that queue. But it feels like I'd say, we're all getting played along a little bit like Christopher Paulson, what their decisions are going to be. |
| 3:57.4 | Yeah, yeah. I mean, to be fair, |
| 3:59.3 | you know, Oliver Glasner is, |
