Summary

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Sky Sports News' football correspondent Rob Dorsett and ESPN's Sam Tighe to discuss how the sacking of Ruben Amorim could affect transfer plans and whether a lack of backing in the transfer market led to the fall out which cost Amorim his job. Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo chooses Manchester City over Liverpool as Pep Guardiola once again makes a move in the January window and could City's defensive injury crisis mean that they go for Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi? Plus, West Ham add two strikers as they finally look to end their striker curse.
