0:00.0	Welcome to No Question about that.
0:09.0	Today with Dominic Booth.
0:11.0	How's again, Dominic?
0:12.0	Very good, thank you. Ed, how are you?
0:14.0	I'm doing all right. Thank you very much.
0:17.0	We're going to talk about strikers today.
0:19.0	Resnus Hoyland, Joshua Zerxes, potential options in the summer.
