Hello this is good morning transfers Calvin Phillips has want to by four premier league clubs this month and more but will the England midfielder get a move Jordan Henderson is another England player hoping to make a move we’ll tell you how Ajax are prepared to break the bank to sign him

We’ll hear from to not Forest BOS Nuno ispiro Santo after his Club were charged for breaching profit and sustainability rules so here’s what’s to look forward to today first we’ll discuss those potential moves with Calvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson 9:15 we move on to the latest on Mary her’s Manchester United

Future at 9:30 we’ll bring you Nuno espiro Santos news conference and then at 9:45 we’ll react to last night’s FIFA best award d a very good morning to everyone at home and also to James Saundra the bade Haron and to Ellen Ard and of course those watching on the Sky

Sports Premier League YouTube channel we start with a reminder of the big breaking news RoR have sacked Jose Mourinho is head coach he leaves them ninth in Sera okay let’s just quickly touch on this before we move on to transfers neade what next for Mourinho well I actually feel a little bit sorry

For him although I do think Roma’s style of player this season has been negative but that is sort of what you get with Jose Mourinho these days two European finals imagine you’d give him a bit more time where does he go next I mean when we were just sort of walking around off

A we were sort of going is this the end I hope not Jose M is one of these managers that brings character to the to the stage and I think we all enjoy watching him regardless of whether he’s in a good mood or a bad mood so maybe

Newcastle United maybe I don’t know at some point James well it felt untenable really at Roma in the end ninth in the league discipline was a key area as well he kept getting sent off and there were Boo from the fans but when you look at

His record he was there for two and a half years two European finals winning one of them in the form of the Europa conference league and in the summer he spoke about claiming to have turned down the opportunity to manage Portugal and he said he got the craziest offer ever

Given to a coach in the summer to join the Saudi pro league he’s only 60 I still think there’ll be plenty of different offers whether that’s in the Premier League whether that’s in the Saudi pro league or elsewhere in europeo I still think there’s plenty more left

To Jose hopefully for for the fans at least right so that is Jose Mourinho let’s get on to transfers now and the latest developments involving Calvin Phillips we want to hear from you at home hash transfer talk where do you think would be the best place for Calvin

Phillips to go this month whether that’s on loan or permanent but James just fill us in with the latest yeah so Crystal Palace Everton Newcastle West Ham and Juventus are all interested in signing Calvin Phillips in this window he’s on the market city were prepared to sell

But a loan move hasn’t been ruled out so it’s thought they’d want a loan fee thought to be around5 million pound and cruy as well that they’d want most of if not all of the wages £135,000 a week paid in full now several of the clubs we’ve just spoke about there understood

To have made initial approaches to Man City nothing formal at the moment they’ve registered their interest but it remains to be seen what sort of offer City would accept at this point in time with there being no formal offer for any of these clubs at present and pep G

Spoke in deem said that Phillips can go in search of regular games I think City probably would prefer for a sale I mean let’s bear in mind he’s only made four premier league appearances this season he’s not featured in their last 11 games in the Premier League so this feels like

At the moment the biggest transfer story out there is whether Calvin Phillips gets a chance to play football where it’s in the Premier League or potentially move to syrial well wherever he goes Ellen how important is it that he makes the right decision this month I think that is really interesting

Phrasing because is it really his decision as we’ve said City know that they want they’ve got a big you know they they want their Financial offer to be to be received they want help with the wages um and of course they’ve got that5 million fee on the table as well

Um City don’t want to let him go without those demands being met and then the clubs that are interested in him and he’s interested in are heavily restricted by uh PSR so you’ve got that sort of back and forth where obviously he’s in a really tricky position where

The manager has said how apologetic that he is that he hasn’t been given the game times as you know James said you know he want him to go and look for to for regular football elsewhere and like everyone he wants to play regular football you’re a footballer that’s what

You want to do you want to be making the starting L you want to be making the match day Squad and getting on the pitch regularly um from an important point of view of looking ahead to summer in the Euros I think G Southgate is a creature

Of habit isn’t he um he has a lot of faith in in Calvin Phillips and I think that faith will be there regardless he’s training at Manchester City in some of the best facilities in the world he’s training with some of the best teammates in the world under arguably the best

Manager in the world so you know he’s still get getting very high quality training um so I think he will make the Euro Squad regardless um I think it’s but from a you know like I’ve mentioned his point of view the manager has said how apologetic he is that he hasn’t been

Given the time and that must be quite hard hearing that as a player knowing that that mitigates against the fact that this hasn’t worked out not being his fault you know it’s just a something hasn’t worked hasn’t quite clicked but then also that’s hard to hear knowing

That you’re not going to get the minutes I think it’s important that he goes somewhere I don’t know if I can see it happening debate where would suit him best we’ve got five clubs here Palace West Ham Newcastle Juventus and Everton we know that they are interested there

May be more as well but where would suit him best I think in terms of profile Juventus possibly uh considering how little he’s played the physical demands in the Premier League are extremely high and in the current CL climate of injuries he’d probably be thrown straight into the first team at

Newcastle West Ham um and probably Palace as well and so I look at UV and think that’s probably a good option although Max allegri is also they seem to be more interested in Henderson hoig and oral mangala it’s a strange one because they three very different profiles and so is Calvin

Phillips but I do think to Italian football he’d probably suit the the sort of style of play possession based football uh less physically demanding I know serri fans will absolutely kill me for saying that but I don’t think the intensity is is anywhere near as high as the Premier League certainly not this

Season and then also U UA are competing for the title and I think he’s going to go from I don’t think he can go from Manchester to maybe a relegation dog fight I think he’s got to try and move in in a direction that keeps him at a similar level of

Competitiveness James what do you think well two of the options that are there we we pointed out before were Crystal Palace and Everton now Everton would be a great destination for him it’d be a great fit for Everton but they can’t buy players or pay a loan fee unless they

Look to sell somebody in this window because we know the the issues they have financially at the moment but I think Crystal Palace could be the perfect fit because they’re in real need of strengthening Midfield C deor could be out for the rest of the season with a

ACL injury and the summer is going to be a critical juncture for them because it looks like Roy Hudson will move on there’ll be a new manager in place they probably don’t want to use this window buying players for Roy hodon when a new manager may come in with it with a

Different theory about what he wants to do moving forward and Steve Paris the chairman spoke in December and said that loan signings signing experienced players what they might like look to do in this window so I think Crystal Palace could be a good fit we saw what Connor

Gallagher did when he went there was the club Player of the Year and Palace at the moment they should be fine when it comes to relegation but bringing a play like Calvin Phillips could just steady the ship a little bit and get them through to Summer which is going to be a

Really really important summer for the future of that club yeah Nathan Nathan Watkins has been in touch on hashtag transfer talk he says I think that Calvin Phillips should go to Manchester unit well given his uh his leads pass and he’s now a Manchester City player

That might be unlikely as well as he would fit in there of course William Baker says I think the best thing for Phillips to go where his guaranteed football money should not be his priority he needs to get in the England squad for the summer West Ham would be a

Great choice because he would effectively replace Declan rice who left in the summer Ellen where do you think you should go yeah West Ham I think is a great shout um Newcastle as well I think they’re clubs that meet the Ambitions of the player and obviously I can see him

Fitting into that with you know where they stand with European football their Ambitions as clubs um I think it changes on where the city can sell because I think they are good those two are good long-term options um and I think for him they’d probably be the preferred

Longterm options for what I’ve just said with the Ambitions of Europe and and those kinds of things I think from a loan point of view I think anywhere that are willing to meet cities de demands is probably the best for him because like you said could get regular football um

At the likes of Everton and you know Crystal Palace but you know tricky with with the money situation there um Newcastle though from a loan perspective have said that you know both Daniels and Eddie how have repeatedly said about the limitations of the profit and sustainability regul ations he would be

A good fit there though suspended Sandro Tali and I think I think he fits the profile of what they want I think profile wise is definitely key because they’ve forced Bruno gimes to play as a six he’s not really a six I think you lose a lot of his game by almost having

Him play like this dis like destroyer in Midfield cin Phillips gives you that almost naturally I do look forward to the England squad I think England have a lot of Midfield options R Jud Bingham Curtis Jones now in the frame Henderson as Ellen just said there South get is

Pretty loyal to certain players James Ward PR gallager Trent now potentially playing the Midfield so Phillips has to go somewhere where he can play because he may not make the squad so what happens then if he stays and can you see him staying at Manchester City well if

Man City don’t get an offer which they think is acceptable then then he could end up staying at at Manchester City but I think he simply does need to leave now he’s not played for Man City in the Premier League since November and the only chance you can really see him

Featuring for Man City between now and the end of the season is in the FA Cup but in the FA Cup they take on top Tottenham in the fourth round which looks like it’s going to be a really tricky game so will Pep Guardiola use

That game as a chance to rotate or not when he takes in such a difficult opponent in the for of Spurs so it does look like there could be a situation where Calvin Phillips doesn’t start a match again for Man City this season so it feels imperative that that he leaves

From what these guys are saying I agree completely G sath may still pick him in the England squad because he’s done this before with Calvin Phillips he’s done with Harry McGuire when he wasn’t featuring at all for Manchester United he’s picking Jordan Henderson who’s playing the pro league so there is still

An opportunity for him to go to the Euros but could he start in the Euros if he’s not playing any football that does seem a bit of a stretch also I think when pep made those comments about feeling really upset and said I’m really sorry it was like a a bad relationship

Um I do feel like the writing is a little bit on the wall with that obviously pep ofon says things that he doesn’t really follow up with but the fact that he hasn’t played him since um sort of suggests that Calvin phet just is at the point of no return Isn’t it

Those and I feel like when you’ve got rodri there it’s nearly impossible to fit Calvin Phillips in and I actually agree with pep it’s actually not Calvin phillips’ fault at all it’s just the fact that man city do have the best six in the world well another England

International who could be on the move is Jordan Henderson he wants to leave Al eifa with Ajax trying to buy the Midfield neade it it’s the 16th of January right now there’s a couple of weeks left uh and a day in the transfer window can you see this going all the

Way to the deadline I mean I think for us with just hoping it does cuz we want deadline day drama couple of weeks in two days sorry my maths was bad I did think 16 and one yeah I know um I apologize I’m unsure as to whether this

Goes deadline day because it feels as though Ajax is at the moment his only option uh and with that in mind you then go it normally these deals go to deadline day because there’s various parties involved uh and it feels like what from what we’ve heard is that

Henderson wants to leave ax just need to find the money to make the deal happen ax may come to a point where they say we have don’t have the money and they’ve also potentially looked to ship Steven bergne there’s also a wage issue so I don’t I don’t think it rumbles on till

Deadline day I think it probably gets resolved somewhere between now and and that point uh Ellen how surprised would you be if Jordan Henderson does end up at aax I don’t think I’d be surprised from the point of view of it being a good move for both club and player but I

Think I would be surprised if ax can strike a deal with altif fat because this has wider implications than just John Henderson coming back to Europe um I think it’s it’s something they’re going to be reluctant to do they’ve bought him in as you know the star the

The crown Jaws in their Club why would they want to then let him go um particularly when there’s questions over you know the the quality of the training um you know where they’re training and you know as we’ve heard you know the the heat the conditions that they’re

Training and all of that um I think it does I think they’d be worried that it might affect the reputation of the league if he then goes back to Europe um it would also if I think ax is a better fit for him from a tax bill point of

View something we’ve spoken about if he he hasn’t done his two years outside of England so returning to the pr premier league would then incur quite a hefty tax bill um he is under contract until 2026 350,000 a week who is going to match that I know ax have said they’re willing

To break the bank there would have to be you know there’s going to be a drop off at Wes wages almost certainly um altif fak as well aren’t going to pay the wages or help pay the wages when they lose their Crown Jaws it just seems completely counterintuitive why would

You then send them back to Europe and help pay those wages so that’s completely off the cards but from ix’s perspective struggling in the era de their fifth or 11 points off Champions League places um he’s won it all this season his stats aren’t incredible I’d say you know seven 17 appearances four

Assists but he’s a really experienced head 33 years old everyone says about the difference he makes on the pitch but then also in the changing room as well and he could really Inspire this Ajax team to you know they’ve been a a bit of a shadow of the former self this season

And past season so really Inspire them to you know push up again you know they need a big surge if they’re to make it up to Champions League places but I think it’s something they’re really keen on um obviously if they’re saying they’re willing to break the bank then

You know I I think that’s great for them but is it going to be something that eltif fak are going to uh going to want to to go ahead with yeah we could be talking about Henderson and Phillips all the way through until deadline day reminder we’re set to hear from notan

Forest Force youo espiro Santo after the club were charged with breaching Premier League profit profit and sustainability Rules It is time to bring you the thoughts of the naughty and Forest B Nuno isiro Santo he’s just been holding his news Conference yesterday we had the the confirmation of of the charges uh the the profit again profitability and sustainability uh rules it’s early um How concerned are you uh with that news we are all all concerned in the club but uh me as a coach is nothing that I have

To to think or or to deal with that my job is clear is to to prepare the team we have a match tomorrow and this is what we are focused have you had what kind of conversations have you had though I mean when you first came in were you aware

That it was a a possibility an issue look uh all the the conversations and meetings that we have are private as you understand but like I said to you chissy honestly I understand that this this is the news but at the same time it’s not

My my concern I have to focus wait I think everybody has to wait to till the decision to come and when the decision come we are here to deal with that but my job is to work to work to work and after work even more this is is what uh

It’s I’m thinking about within your preparations are you talking to your players about this at all because could it be a distraction a concern for them no today we’re going to have the training session and we know the players know the situation but what I’ll tell them exactly what I’m telling to you

Let’s forget about this and focus on our job and our job is tomorrow Blackpool and just one more thing on on on the this does it change at all your plans for this January transfer window have you been told that things have have got to change in terms of any plans you

Had no not at all it doesn’t change anything we have to continue our work the balance of the squad is important we have to to organize the the squad as I told you before uh the IDE is start to improve it’s not easy uh especially in

This window but we are working on that trying to find the best way in the squads to deal to the the rest of the season with that in mind are you close to seeing any players depart or bringing anybody in we are working every day on

That so you are preparing for this this game a game you didn’t want but you’ve now got to go for the this replay to Blackpool looking back on the first game where do you need to improve do you think to to get a result this time

Around we have to start better the game definitely um the mistake of on the previous game was the beginning of the game not what we didn’t do is what we concede was too easy and um we have to improve on that we have to start with

All the game we have to be Compact and and go for the game because we want to go through it is a competition that’s important to you isn’t it so very important to for me for the players for the club for our fans for English football it’s the big competition and

How is your team looking is there any changes from the last game no nothing nothing has changed um we have still some issues with injuries um we are don’t we don’t have too many options so we’re going to go with those that are available okay any so any new injuries

At all from no no no we still have the Anthony uh thei is out Philipe T you all know the afan players and small details but we are waiting for today to to make the final decisions is Anthony elanga definitely no he’s out he’s out yeah he’s out

Fortunately yeah he’s out and you had to change your plans somewhat didn’t you because of this this replay how did it affect those plans what how did it change things we Chang we Chang things was we predict to go to St George was not possible because of the of the

Schedule we do the other way around we had a couple days off and we start working uh four five days ago so we can prepare well the game you had such a a positive start to life here with those wins against Newcastle Manchester United

And then you know a bit of a blip in terms of the draw against Blackpool and then obviously the news yesterday has that changed the mood at all the mood changes the results and the performance are um have a big impact in our dayto day but we know that this is

Like football in life it’s up and downs and you have to react and bounce back and I think honestly um the second half was very good very good the way we we we managed to turn around the result so we look forward to do it again this way not the

First half the first the second half go for the game play good and win we must win the match and I know you like a a tighten it group a close now I have now it’s very tight it’s too tight but in terms so tight no room yeah

Tight in the in the changing rooms but in terms of that um when there are setbacks and maybe issues going on out outside of of of the pitch you kind of need everybody to be sticking together don’t you and do you think you’ve got that here definitely we have definitely

We have we the boys have a a very good group they they respect each other they help each other and is in these bad moments that we have to react as a group and and starts tomorrow great thank you all thanks Kirsty Charlie please thank hello um for the the first game

Against Blackpool name quite a strong team I think maybe only three four changes at the most um will you have to rotate more because you return to Premier League action so quickly after this game no look like like we mentioned we are not we don’t have too many

Options in this moment so it’s not about rotations to find the balance between the team that’s going to start tomorrow and the team is going to start against brenford so it’s not too much time but at the same time I feel the the players are ready to to do games in a row

Because our preparation is is been good so like I said we don’t have too many too many options we have players out as you know so it’s always going to be a strong 11 always just to revisit the PSR rule alleged breaches um did you know I

His news conference for the first time after nauy and Forest were charged with breaching premier league profitability and sustainability rules on the way next lates on MAR Ops future of Manchester United and we’ll hear from Thomas Frank on Ivan Tony This is good morning transfers time to take a quick look at some of the stories making the back pages in The Sun they reporting that Chelsea are lining up transfer moves for Karen benzar and Roberto firmino to solve their Striker problems in the Daily Mail they say that Paris San gerain are monitoring

Developments with Newcastle United midfield at buo gimes amid the club’s Financial concerns conned and finally in the Daily Express they’re reporting that Arsenal uh do not have the transfer funds to meet Tafe Striker B Myer Al’s release Clause this month so that rounds up some of the stories in the back Pages we have to be pretty quick on that because there’s big big breaking news Serena Vigman has signed a contract extension to continue as England women’s head coach through to the 2027 Fe Women’s World Cup let’s get some reaction now we got Anton toui Ellen Ard

As well first of all Anton what’s your reaction to this news yeah I think massive relief from the fa massive relief from the lionesses the players and massive relief from England fans as well because W wen’t entirely sure to be brutally honest whether Serena vman was

Going to extend her contract it was due to run out after the Euros next year now discussions have been ongoing since England won the Euros back in 2022 about extending her stay and Serena bigman’s being pretty you know s a little bit circumspect about it in terms of she

Wants to do what’s best for her wants to do best what’s her for family and obviously she had a contract and didn’t really want to go public about whether she wanted to stay any longer or not but I think it’s very very interesting when she you know we go through the statement

That’s just come out from uh from England she says the words unfinished business that is why she’s going to stay on is England head coach they came so close in the summit and England genuinely believed didn’t they that they could go on and Win It Serena Vian

Believes this crop of players that she’s got right now can become world champion she believes they come back to back Euro Champions and she believes and the players believe she’s the person that could do that she’s already brought unparalleled unprecedented success as England head coach by I think just a lot

Of relief among the England players and among the fans today that Serena rman is staying on for another three and a half years yeah this is can only be seen as good news for England oh absolutely um what Anton was saying you know they came

So close so close but I think you’ve got to look at the situation over summer and they came so close with a squad that wasn’t complete you know they’re missing the captain Le Williamson Beth me wasn’t there as well and they still came so close and while we were out there we we

Were thinking we might not make the quarter finals might not make the semi-finals and then they did it and they excelled and she really brought the best out of this really young Squad that had some experienced heads within them but it was really young a lot of them

Making their just not just World Cup debuts but International Tournament debuts and she brought the very best out of them um I think England fans and the players as well they speak so highly of her they absolutely love working under her they’re going to be so delighted

With the news today you’ve only got a look at last night Tom obviously you know name FIFA best coach on the planet but the players that she’s made better as well made household names Mary hers was in the international Wilderness to use a cliche she brought her in and

She’s now back to back FIFA best goalkeeper on the planet seven players from that Lion’s team in the world World 11 of the feo World 11 that’s largely down to Serena bman and what she’s done with the players the professionalism England were in disarray when Serena

Bman came in hegar Rea his interim coach and Phil Neville went on a long sort of run after the World Cup where England just didn’t click and obviously the mark Samson era as well it wasn’t going well she’s changed everything not just the Personnel not just the culture but still

First hope and now success and like I said she’s hoping to do that for the next three and a half years we have got some quotes from here actually Vigman has said I’m so happy to have the chance to lead England through to 2027 after Incredible 2 and a half years looking

Forward we have as Anton said unfinished business and I know we are capable of even more although nothing will come easy our game is becoming so competitive at the top level I relish that opportunity and can’t wait to start the Euro qualifiers followed by the World

Cup and she says I would like to thank Mark bullingham Debbie hwit and the fa board for their support I must also mention mention AR verink I am delighted he has extended his stay it is a fantastic job working with these amazing players alongside great colleagues and

Of course it is very special to be able to play a part in giving our fans such wonderful moments in crucially Ellen she is clearly enjoying her job as much as the fans are enjoying having her in the job yeah and I was just thinking you say I’m finished business there she mentions

The Euro qualifiers they’re the World Cup qualifiers GB haven’t made the Olympics this year so we will have a a blank summer when it comes to the England players obviously as well as the Scottish and Welsh players as well but they now get a bit of a break and this

Is a really exciting time I don’t think obviously team GB would have wanted to make the Olympics but the fact they didn’t and the way that the new nations league is set out for the women it it I think it’s a very exciting time they

Haven’t made it but it just shows how we look at the Belgium game for example Nations that weren’t at the same level are now leveling up and that growth of the game is B now being seen at a national level we’ seen or International level we seen it you know with the WSL

With more clubs fighting for those top spots you know your Champions League places um your League titles but actually seeing now other nations outside of obviously Europe and around the world ling up this is a great time to be involved in women’s football and she wants to extend her stay and I I

Think that’s really exciting and we’re going to sit down with her later we’re going to hear from Serena rman later off to Wembley after this so we’re going to hear from Serena Vigman and find out why she has signed out a new contract the unfinished business is what that drive

Is and why before the World Cup she wouldn’t talk about her future and now all of a sudden she signed a new deal seemingly out of nowhere so we’re going to hear from seren and Anon you speak to the England players well whenever they meet up do you get the feeling that they

Are all 100% behind the manager they will be as happy as the fans will be yeah absolutely Mass I genuinely think this gives the players a lot of certainty a lot of clarity not just about obviously the back room team you mentioned Ian burck her assistant who’s

Staying on as well which that’s it’s crucial cuz he’s really close to with the S players as well but they now know how they’re going to train for the buildup to the a how are they going to train for the buildup to the World Cup it’s that stability that the lionesses

Haven’t had for a long long time you Sun Bam’s only been there a couple of years and she’s already brought great success now England with the model she her and her team have set up they’re back they’re the fa is banking on that to bring even more success because they’ve

Basically got one of the best setups in World football Ellen what is success in this this new contract that she s in that time frame what is success because England have won the Euros that come so close to winning the World Cup I mean it doesn’t get that much better really one

Win away from it being perfect so far there’s a lot of expectation isn’t there um and I think that’s sort of what I mentioned earlier when we were out in Australia when we were watching the team like we said this was the team that was missing its Captain missing its leading

Goal scorer um and you’re thinking you know where I think we sort of looked at and was like where is the ambition where would success be and you would say that making a World Cup Final in the under those circumstances would have been success and I think that was I think when she’s

You’ve got to highlight The Unfinished Business Like antoon has she wants to win the world cup with England um I think going back to back Euros winners would be would be success I think they’ve got to at least make the final um I think that’s where the lower

Barrier of where they where theyd set success um she obviously wants to win it all though doesn’t she not just that I think look at the England team Lauren James is going to be a better player 2025 2027 at the next World Cup they’ve got some really exciting players like

Agib B Jones who’s not even in the England squad yet they’ve got you know Hannah Hampton La robot pushing Kiara keting pushing for that number one Jersey as well there’s such competition and Serena rman has got a lot of faith in the under 23 is coming through as

Well so she’s not just banking on this team she’s got right now she’s really happy with that next generation of players coming through she’s expecting four five six players to make it to the 2027 World Cup that we haven’t probably even heard of we don’t see regular yet

That’s how much Faith she’s got in the system that they’ve set up that’s why she wants to see the job through I think that’s why you know when you look at In the comparison to other nations when we talk about the Nations League that’s what England have that the other

International nations in Europe don’t they have the squad depth when you watch the young lesses there’s Katy Robinson in there Jess Park who have international caps and are playing for the under 23s so there is this huge amount of squad debt which just makes you know success have it has to be

Euro’s finals it has to be World Cup finals there are some quotes from the fa CEO Mark bullingham as well we are thrilled that Serena has agreed to extend her time with us as we head into another significant period of International Football she has achieved so much through her outstanding work as

A coach and leader and there is more to come the aim with our England team is to be a consistent competitive force in major tournaments and Serena has helped us achieve that building on what had been several years of positive progress so Serena vman has a new a new contract

To continue as the England head coach big breaking news there and the fans very very happy about that and Anton pleasure to have you back on good morning transfer ni to be here bring him home that’s what I say right okay more reaction to that huge story throughout

The day but let’s get to brenford now and Ivan Tony will return to action against nottingam Forest this weekend Thomas Frank says he’s 9 9% certain the striker will stay at the club in this window I think it’s been very clear that we or at least I don’t want to let him

Go I want to keep him as as long as possible so uh um I I only had that in mind and every single time I I spoke with him it was uh yeah focusing on getting you ready for Nottingham Forest he that it will be like a new signing no

Doubt about that um it’s like uh signing uh a top Premier League Striker that is coming into a team team like everyone should be excited about so we are looking forward to that there are a lot of other teams that need a new Sig a new

St um two weeks too the window you just turn your phone off or are you absolutely confident that whatever is offered I I think in in football you never know that football is is so crazy we’ve seen several stories about that but I’m I’m 99% sure that Ivan is playing

Here so at least the rest of the season yes beyond that you don’t know I know let’s take one transfer window at a time right so Thomas Frank there obviously the the main headline from his news confence was always going to be about Ivan Tony returning in the B he

Did say that Tony returning would be like a new signing which fans don’t really like that phrase but in this case it does seem fair I think in this case it probably is the most accurate time to use it I think fans have been frustrated

In the past say when I think y and klopp to that Adam Lan’s like a new signing and he’d been injured for 4 weeks whereas obviously I Tony’s been out for a while he’s played 66 Premier League games 32 goals nine assists they’ve got a load of injuries um but also for their

Style of play I think they’ve had to adapt it a little bit this season often played with two up top often tried to play long balls in behind when you have Ivan Ton’s like um in the politest way like a tree trunk up front you just

Throw things at it and and it will get them in directions that you want and it can make anything stick so um I actually agree with Thomas Frank on this one I think it will be like a new signing and and James again is so important to them

And yes he’s obviously going to be linked with other clubs because he’s such a quality Striker but how important can he be in this final well second half of the Season absolutely crucial 20 Premier League goals he scored last season when you consider where brenford are at the moment they’ve lost their

Last five matches in the Premier League just three points now above the relegation Zone I don’t think a few weeks ago or a few months ago you thought they’d be in that situation where they started the season but you can see the injuries they’ve suffered Rico Henry is out the moment until the

End of the season so that’s why brenford really need to sign a left back and Thomas Frank’s made it clear that that’s a priority for them in this window but bin bro who’s been so impressed with him this season he’s out injured they got two players the African Cup of Nations

So the Boost has been Jus Silva’s come back into into into play he played in the FA Cup and he’s been such a crucial part of getting him into the Premier League he’s had so many injuries but if they can link up as they did in the championship josa Sila and Ivan Tony

Then brenford will be absolutely fine when it comes to their r problems but it’s great to hear Thomas Frank say he’s 99% certain that ivanon will be staying I think Ivan Tony wants to repay brenford as well for the support they’ve given him over the last few months but I

Think they will want to be busy left back is area they want to sign a player and they’d like a young talented player but the idea of Sergio regon coming in that could really fit the bill and they can get to the summer hopefully Rico Henry will fit again and they can

Revisit potentially signing a younger player but it feels like at this moment in time they need to solve that issue yeah I’d love to say will focus on the 99% chance of him staying at brenford Ivan Tony but this is a transfer show so he might actually focus on the 1% chance

That he might leave right a reminder of the breaking news this hour Serena vman has signed a contract extension as England women’s head coach till 2027 on the way we’ll be looking back at last night’s FIFA best Awards Manchester City dominate the team of the year but there is one noticeable absentee Time for last night’s FIFA best Awards we’re going to reflect on the teams of the year start starting with the men’s team and remember that six Manchester City players are in this okay so that’s the the side there I’m not not quite sure about the formation here I’ve got

To be honest but the players there are the correct ones okay this is officially though from fief Pro by the way neade what stands out to you I mean firstly where are those forwards playing Harland as a left Winger MPP as a right winger um at the moment I think that Midfield

Is light in one position he’s the best six in the world I I was was calling for him to win the Ballon door to be honest um and that would be rodri I I do obviously have my issues with the system and you know how it is for me Tom I want

To analyze little details but in this case I think the way he played last season is probably in my opinion one of the best seasons that we’ve seen of any six ever um and I think if you took him out of that City team as we’ve seen this

Season they can almost never perform to that level the records not great so rodri’s got to be in that team for me so you think there should be another Manchester City player in there Ellen I think you think should be another Manchester City player in there as well

Yeah Edison I think part of this does come down to when the voting period was but I think he’s done it all this season um I think in comparison to CTO I don’t think there’s any question there if you win FIFA best goalkeeper surely you

Should be in the world 11 no and J what stood out to you well on that note about rodri it was actually 13 votes less he got than Bernardo Silva to feature in that world 11 which shows how close it was you do feel rodri scoring the winning goal in the Champions League

Final and for all he’s achieved for City during that time deserves something but but Ellen’s right the voting period is quite strange because it’s the end of December until August of this year so that’s why you see TBO qu to our features as part the fact he’s not play

For Real Madrid this season because of injury but Edison must be really unlucky not to be in that team but it’s worth noting in defensive Midfield the only non-man city player in there is the man in the middle of the screen JW Bellingham incredible for bruo Dortmund

Last season won the bundes league Player of the Year and we know what he’s done this season for Real Madrid it’s been quite remarkable so it’s a decent team you wouldn’t fancy trying to defend against him would you no you wouldn’t Ellen what about the women’s team we’re

Going to get that one up here as well what stands out for you again the formation um but I think there’s a there’s a lot of lesses in there seven lesses um obviously Mups in Gold can’t argue with that one F FIFA best women’s goalkeeper for the second year in the

Row um probably the there’s not so many Spanish players in there considering they did win the World Cup um and that did fall within the voting the voting window um I think tun would be one that might surprise a lot of England fans but she did so well in the World Cup she

Really stood up under a lot of pressure as well um and then Alex Morgan I think would be another one where there’s some questions over considering how the USA performed at the World Cup and then also some of her teammates really did step up especially the younger ones um so yeah I

Think they’re probably the surprises uh within that but marry UPS in goal no surprise at all well yeah as for Mary hers the Manchester United goalkeeper her future is uncertain having ented the last six months of her contract the biggest clubs in Europe have closely watched England’s number one situation

And last night she also collected the best women’s goalkeeper award for the second year in a row one thing I didn’t mention when I was up there which naughty me was that I’m surrounded by such incredible people and I would not be here um without their support and

Guidance and um yeah they mean the world to me and um I’m so grateful for them and this is dedicated to them I’m someone who wants to stand up for what’s right I think you know one of my key values is sort of fairness and when you

Know there is a lot of Injustice in the world there’s a lot of struggles and battles that people face and maybe we can conquer them one battle at a time let’s get through as many clubs as we can before we finish good morning transfers and we’ll start James with

Celtic yeah really busy month for Celtic it could be rapid Vienna Winger Nicholas Cooney arrived in Glasgow yday we brought you those shots yesterday on Sky Sports News of his two agents arriving at Glasgow airport3 million pound move that has been agreed so that’ll be their first deal with the January window and

Then the focus will turn to tring on a left back and potentially a striker as well they need a striker because what’s going on with the Asian cup at the moment there is no back up at the moment to kyogo in terms of number nine and also to left backs in our area

Goalkeeper that’s an situation where Celtic fans are wondering what’s going to happen next because Joe Hart’s contract is up in the summer so it’s not a priority at this moment in time it’s something they will revisit in the summer but that’s one worth keeping on potentially signing a goalkeeper in this

Window okay so could be fairly busy at Celtic what about sundland I’m under pressure with you asking me that question aren’t I um pushing for the playoffs like everyone they needed a strike of out of the four Strikers have signed only one of them has scored once

Um they could move the formation around a little bit R and mayanda could play out wide so that could open up space for a for a striker to come in also need to look at a defensive midfielder and then a left back as well cing out for 12

Weeks huggings out for the season they’ve also then got attention on them as well you well know Jack Clark has been making a lot of headlines and then also Anthony Pon the goalkeeper as well as eyes from Premier League clubs yeah he does sadly right in the beade fen

Bachche out to Turkey for this one I mean if you’re watching on YouTube we often see the comments people say we don’t talk about any of the clubs outside the big six we’ve had Celtic sunden now we’re in Turkey F they sign bonucci 36 years of age

Obviously one of those players that his his career is pretty much done but he’s a legend of the game spent a bit of time at Union Berlin uh last season but it’s a fantastic signing for Turkish football right okay can have we got time for two

More I think we do Burnley who was Burnley I’ll do Burnley yes please well it looks like they’re going to try and strengthen in a number of areas left back right back Center back Central Midfield that’s bear in mind they spent 90 million pounds in the summer but

Admittedly Vincent C is quite Keen to point out they did have to replace a number of players like Nathan T who was so pivotal as a lone player and get him to the Premier League they’re in such a desperate position in the league at the moment so they’re not going to do

Anything too drastic and not risk their long-term future and also when it comes to financial fair play play and profit and sustainability rules fitting within those should the worst thing happen when it comes to relegation in May so it could be a busy month despite the fact

It was such a busy summer bringing 15 players so that was a Premier League club we’re now going down League one Ellen League one League one leaders at Portsmith they’re stuttering slightly after the end of their incredible unbeaten run on the road it was their

Last uh in the last in the remaining of England’s top four tiers and they’ve likely lost Man City Loan in key player Alex Robertson for the season due to a tour on hamstring had 23 appearances one goal four assists really key player for them um they’ll need to look for some

Experience potentially a striker and to add some resilience to the back line uh Callum Lan could be an option currently at Wigan uh he could fit the profile Ronan hail is a name to listen out for as well he’s been catching the attention of a number of efl uh clubs he’s playing

At cliftonville in Northern Ireland former Island inter youth International scoring 11 in 13 games and three assists as well so watch thank you right man of big breaking news Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Roma we can tell you actually that according to Sky in Italy Club
