Summary
Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, it is our Deadline Day special and with that comes fireworks.
Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by some of the biggest fan channels in the country to discuss what could be the most chaotic transfer window ever, from huge Deadline Day moves to clubs making panic buys. We also dive into the latest VAR controversy that has fans talking once again.
At Liverpool, Alexander Isak finally gets his move. And with Dominik Szoboszlai impressing vs Arsenal, is he shaping up to be the perfect right-back replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold?
We also look at Manchester United’s troubled start to the season, and whether Gianluigi Donnarumma’s move to Man City really makes sense in Pep’s system.
Elsewhere, Spurs come off the back of a defeat to Bournemouth, but can Thomas Frank’s side still deliver a strong season? And with the window closing, how do West Ham and Brighton see their campaigns shaping up?
How do you feel about your side coming out of the transfer window? Let us know in the comments, and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss an episode!
