Yeah, hello and welcome to the Transfer Talk podcast. My name is Darmesh. Yes, that's right. Pete Graves,

away again. Given how this window has gone for his beloved Newcastle, I think you just needed to go on holiday.

And as a listener pointed out to him on the plane to Orlando, yes, he's gone all the way there.

They said this to him, I can't believe you're on this flight.

It only feels like five minutes since Darmish were slagging you off for going to Florida last time.

But it also means, I don't know

whether it's a good or a bad thing, that there's no song for me today because there's no one to

sing it to. Well, in particular, Pete Graves, but a huge thank you to everyone who has been

messaging me with song ideas. Greatly appreciated, they will be heard on Pete's return. So with

Pete Graves, I'm in the presenter chair and I'm delighted

to say I'm joined by the legendary football journalist Henry Winter. I don't think I've ever

introduced Henry Winter without prefixing it with legendary. Henry, how are you? Well, I was expecting

you to burst into fog on the time given the events of the last few weeks. Listen, Henry, Premier are you? Well, I was expecting you to burst into fog on the time, given the events of the last few weeks.

Listen, Henry, Premier League season just days away.

You were at the curtain raised at Wembley, weren't you, on Sunday?

How was that community shield?

Well, 82,000 fans there.

Reminders of the passion for the game, pretty intense game. Crystal Palace were excellent. I mean, you look at Water and what a player he is. Thomas Tuchel of he's watching, I'm sure he was. He's got a player for the future. Liverpool showed that they need in defence. Mark A.E. was down the other end. Didn't necessarily have his best game. But, you know, the transfer window is still open and you're always open for

business. And I think it highlighted that. I thought from Liverpool's perspective, they were

encouraging signs of Florinverts outstanding as eight or a ten, and his combination, particularly

with Hugo Ecotique. So, yeah, I thought it was, you know, pretty, pretty enjoyable all round.

Good day for Palace in the end, but Liverpool, many people's favourites, clearly for the title
