On today’s pod: The panel reviews a hectic end to the transfer window, with Marc Guéhi staying put, Yoane Wissa forcing a move to Newcastle, and Alexander Isak being cast out of Geordie folklore. Chelsea finally sign an attacking wide man (sort of) in Facundo Buonanotte, and Spurs loan in Randal Kolo Muani. Villa go all-in with Sancho, Elliott, and Lindelöf, while Manchester City swap goalkeepers and Manchester United spend £200m to generate about £30m back.

In our Football League roundup: Middlesbrough look the real deal under Rob Edwards, Ryan Mason might be cooking at West Brom, but Ipswich are in freefall. We dip into League One and League Two too, with love for Stevenage, double concern for Peterborough, and fears for those at the bottom of the most unpredictable division in the EFL.

Plus: Erik ten Hag’s record-breaking Bundesliga sacking, Barry is stuck in someone’s headphones for seven hours, and the pod gets spotted in the wild by Melbourne’s finest.
