This is what happens when Premier League Premier League teams are able to trade with each other because Premier League teams don't really need to sell, they're not under a lot of financial duress and they're dealing with someone with a lot of money.

So the market conditions dictate that that's going to happen.

Yeah.

Do we do we really Do we?

Yeah, there's a really there's a couple of strange situations where I started the day doing work on players who might be at the end of at the end of those kind of food chains.

So this is what a player wants, this is where he could move, this is where he might fit in.

But then you realise you're doing all of that work, but unless uh domino one, two, three, and sometimes even four fall, it's all irrelevant the players staying there.

And to me it's it's kind of a nice little insight into what a player goes through because

Is in this in the instance I'm referencing, that would involve a change of country, a change of league, uh change of language, culture, all that those kind of things.

So a player is bracing for a major life decision which might just be snatched away like that, which is extraordinary.

And there have been a lot of it feels very tenuous too, because I've I've taken a lot of calls today from people from clubs saying this player is in conversations with uh a series of clubs.

And so they've taken it to the very last day where they're trying to find the best fit for themselves.

They don't necessarily have an agreement with uh between the two clubs ready to go.

Everything's been kind of rushed through and a few instances, like if if if I come out of the studio and someone's told me this guy's gone there or that guy's gone here, wouldn't surprise me.

It's just it feels very manic.

It feels very clear.

No, no, not at all.

Uh it's a very, very strange one.

I I can see that Spurs have some gaps to fill in their attacking positions, but then his circumstances are pretty unique.

Emma hasn't played football for two years.
