Yes, hello everybody and welcome another edition of the Transfer Talk podcast.

My name is not Pete Graves.

Yes, it's Damesh here.

Darmesh, Pete Graves still on sabbatical, sorry, holiday.

He has been away for a while.

That tan is going to look very, very good,

I'm predicting. But we have got a real treat for you on today's Transfer Talk podcast because I am delighted to say that I'm joined by a true friend of the show, not only of the show, but of myself.

It used to be a colleague, but he's turned into a friend. ESPN, Julian Loren, welcome back to the Transfer Talk podcast. Julian, it's been too long. How you doing? Hello, mate. Thank you so much for having me again. I'm doing great, and you? I'm very good. I'm very good. How's the window gone for you so far? You must be.

For me, look, it's three months this one.

Imarzu, it feels like it's gone on for three years this one.

I agree.

I agree.

I mean, we kind of knew we would have some sagas because we always do, but I don't think

any of us predicted the Alexander Isak situation

and development and everything. I've had a lot of my French boys wherever they came from,

Germany, France, Spain, coming to the Premier League, which is great. And Hugo Okitiki and Ryan

Cherki, I guess being the most important one, certainly for me, because

of the clubs they sign for, because of the profiler they are, because it is also a World Cup

here. So, yeah, it's been great so far. The thing is, as you know, I was on holidays with the

kids and the phone keeps raining or the text keeps coming and you still need to work even

if you're not really working.

But that's fine. That's part of it.
