Kasey Keller

I mean, it's like it's like, OK, it'll it'll heal and he can still stay fit.

He can still do ball exercises.

He can still all do all do all these kind of things.

And Fulham is not would not be buying Ricardo Pepe for an instant impact.

They'd be buying Ricardo Pepe because they think he's a good young player who's shown good development over the last couple of years.

And, you know, they see a big upside.

I mean, they're and, you know, they have a little bit of an older striker who's who's doing very well at the moment.

But so, yeah, I see the move right now almost a little bit more of.

help the squad, maybe start some matches, but not necessarily like, hey, we're in a relegation fight, here's the money, we need a striker, here's our guy.

And so I think that's why it doesn't really change a whole lot in Fulham's perspective.

If they think this is the right time with the right price with the right player,

you know what's six more weeks right with with a broken arm it's not an acl it's not an achilles it's nothing where you're like here's this really long rehab and we don't quite know if he's going to be the same player it's a broken arm

I think that the interesting part of this prospect, and Shaq's 100% right, it's a personal thing.

I've always said don't dictate your club career based off of what possibly could happen with the national team.

Go play well for your club team, and if the manager thinks you're good enough, you're good enough.

The tricky part for me with this is we know because Pochettino and his staff have said that.

We don't talk to players.

So it's not even like a situation where normally you would have a conversation with the national team coach and say, hey, this is going on.

You know, just want to keep you abreast with this.

See what's, you know, does it have any, you know, is this a positive?
