Summary

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by legendary journalist Henry Winter and ESPN's Sam Tighe to preview the January transfer window. The future of Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo will be one of the biggest stories of the window as Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool all look to trigger his £65 million release clause. Mo Salah still faces an uncertain future at Anfield despite the uneasy truce with Arne Slot, the Reds might well look to reignite interested in Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi and will Kobbie Mainoo look for a way out of Old Trafford due to lack of game time? Plus, Aston Villa's Unai Emery wants the club to be active in the window despite potential PSR constraints, West Ham look to add a striker to help ease relegation worries and Oliver Glasner at Selhurst Park wants to add some bodies ahead of a fixture pile-up.

0:00.0	Yeah, hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Transfer Talk podcast. I'm Darmesh
0:12.4	and we are back to preview the January transfer window. I couldn't have two better people
0:18.6	alongside me to look ahead to what promises to be an intriguing
0:22.7	month ahead. I am joined by the legend that is Henry Winter and the legend that is ESPN's Sam Ty. Sam.
0:31.8	We'll discuss them, I'm sure, a little bit later on in the podcast, but let's speak very briefly about your beloved Aston Villa.
0:39.7	They are not title contenders, says Unaimery. They are, though, aren't they? Good to be back,
0:45.5	Damesh. Good to spend another January transfer window with you, mate. Look, I agree with
0:49.8	Uniorey. Yeah, let's not get too carried away. And I spent last December, 24, listening to Enzo Moreska, insist,
0:57.4	we are not in the title race, he kept saying about his Chelsea side. And he was right. There's no such

1:29.7	Is that your view or are there other contenders here?
1:32.8	No, I think Aston Villa are definitely in contention because you look at the quality of the manager they've got.
1:39.2	I love the fact that all the Aston Villa friends I've got and fans on social media or whether I'm writing
1:45.9	columns for whoever World Soccer or Sports Illustrated, you know, they're all saying, well,
1:51.4	actually, we don't want to be considered in the title race, but absolutely they are.
1:56.0	When you've got a player like Morgan Rogers, who absolutely is the living embodiment of what a good coach,
