Thank you. Welcome to the Total Soccero!

Welcome to the Total Soccer show and the final week of the January transfer window.

At the time of recording, 297 deals have been agreed this winter with Europe's top five leagues to the tune of over $658 million.

But who else might go in the next few days?

Who needs to get more reinforcements?

Just how much of Top Bowley's money can Chelsea spend on Chelsea's attacking midfield death chart?

And which players will shun Everton next?

All this and more will be tackled on this show.

My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today, a man who's currently posing with his shirt off. He's got his thumbs up. He's got some wires attached to his chest. He's a medical Marvel, Taylor Rockwell. Hello. I did not know where we were going for a moment there. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to, in solidarity with players having to do medicals, I wanted to, you know, kind of reflect that. And then in solidarity with players doing medical at Everton, I wanted to do that and then immediately go record elsewhere.

No players are doing medicals at Everton. I don't get that far. So 297 deals in January,

280 of them involving Chelsea? That's correct. It is an astonishing proportion. I believe,

actually, if you want the number, Tater, of all Premier League winter transfers, Chelsea account for 38% of them.

Is that money, like the money spent, you mean?

184 million pounds, which is 38% of Premier League deals this winter.

Okay then. All right, Tom Bowley. Keep spending that money, buddy. Keep spending that money. He's got to get to 50% or he's just not trying. That's what I think. More wingers. Indeed. Joining us, Taylor, a man who's frantically working the fax machine while trying to work out what a fax machine is. Joe Lowry, do you know what a fax machine is?

I do know what a fax machine is, but I'm hopeful that we've moved past the Barcelona era of Bureau. What was that? What was that thing called? Where nobody actually knew what that thing in particular was. I do most of my transfer business over WhatsApp like the rest of the world. Oh nice.

Yeah.
