Welcome to the Total Soccero!

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and congratulations you are living in a world where the 2025 summer transfer window is open.

Unless you're listening to this show in about a week's time, in which case it's no longer open, but we'll get to that shortly.

On this episode, we'll take a look at the mechanics of this window, the big

deals that have happened, the big deals that may happen before the European season kicks

off in August and much, much more. My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today. Hey, it's your friend,

my friend, Taylor. Taylor, hello, Tyler. Hello, Ryan. Does this mean it's officially

it's officially summer being open, be a sign of summer? It's officially hot transfer window summer, Taylor, congratulations. You're there. Woo, Della signs and fax machines. Yeah. Or pound signs or euros? I forget which one we're supposed to use. It's all just money. It's all just swirling around out there, Taylor. It's all pretty ethereal. It's all. It is indeed. Talk about someone who's not made up. It's Mr. Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. How are you?

I'm here. It is indeed.

Talk about someone who's not made up. It's Mr. Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. How are you? I'm here. I'm checking. I feel real. Guys, it feels real to be here. I love the transfer window. Give us like 12 mini transfer windows throughout the season instead of just the two big ones. I'll get amped for it every time. This is the best time of year. Oh, I'm glad to hear it. That Joe likes the time when there's no European soccer as opposed to when there is European soccer. Interesting, noted. Okay. I like transfers. They're shiny. Yeah, they sure are. Tell you who else is shiny. It's our friend Graham Rutherman. Hello, Graham. How are you? Hello, Ryan Bailey. not that shiny. It's Monday morning. I'm never that shiny morning. There he is.

There's Monday morning.

There he is. There's our guy. Shiny happy Graham here on Monday morning reporting for transfer window duty. Graham, I feel like this time of year is this very much your time as well, right? You love a transfer,

don't you? Oh, I do indeed. Everyone's got hope. About a couple weeks ago, I was down in the dumps with Sirlin Albay. And now we've made a couple signings. Weirdly, we've signed the best player in the league above us, not entirely sure how we've done that. And all of a sudden, I've gone, next season, maybe that's the one. Inevitably, it won't be the one. But right now, the bliss, the ignorance of that hope is getting me through. Hold on, Graham.

So who is this player? inevitably it won't be that the one but right now the bliss the ignorance of that hope is

getting me through hold on graham so who who is this player and is the way that they've signed

him like that he got a job in sterling as a lawyer or something and he's going to play soccer

inevitably is that yes i mean new laundry machine i think big signing big signing what kind of

player is he tell me more we've signed ross cunning, who was top scorer in league one last season.

We are in league two.

We're not even a good league two team.

And he is like an attacking midfielder who can play as number 10, play out wide, which is exactly what we need.

So everything seems really good right now.
