Yeah, I think I think it has the time available if you can see good signs.

So like if you can see say V Vip Potnik, you say he got seven in his first season, okay, it's not you know, it's not gonna break any records, it's not gonna catch the eye of a lot of people, but I'm sure the people within the Swansea setup understood that, okay, he's settling in, it's gonna take him a couple of months to get up to speed.

Then he scored a few goals, and then the second season, I'm pretty sure he got picked every week.

Probably started every game for Swansea, he was the main focal point.

Goes and gets the goals, and now they're making a huge profit on him.

So if you've got enough quality around it and the fee to bring for Potnick, and he came from um Bordeaux, didn't he?

This when they were having financial problems.

Mm.

So if they were able to go and get him and understand, okay, it's it's a small outlay, so it's minimal risk, and we're we're prepared to take that gamble on him, then obviously.

Sometimes it can pay off, which it has this year for him.

Well, you would like to have thought you could have had that conversation bef right before kickoff.

It would have been done certainly in the way we were a couple of days before.

And if a player's got that mindset where he doesn't want to be there, I think it's really difficult for a manager to try and first of all force him to play.

But secondly, get the best out of him because if his Zed isn't in it.

There's you're probably better off keeping him in the stand because of not just the impact that him personally is he going to be able to perform to his level, but what's his body language like to the rest of the group?

So um so yeah, once it gets to that point and and and Lauza has turned around and said he doesn't want to play.

I don't think the manager's got any other option.

You're probably just better trying to move them on as and make as much profit out of him as quickly as possible.

I don't think so, no, because you've just got to look at Southampton's squad and the ability that they've got and the run that they were on last year.
