Summary

Ian Stone is joined by Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas to discuss the transfer window after Arsenal added former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho to their ranks.

The panel discuss the differing views of the Italian coming to the club, and why it's a signing that's not to be sniffed at. They talk about the #EduOut brigade that seemed to take over social media on deadline day, and run through the rest of the January business assessing the outgoings and incomings.

Plus there's a look ahead to the Everton match at the weekend and how Arsenal can look to take the wind out of the Toffee's sails.
