Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening to the Ranks

FC podcast. Hello, R Rank Squad and welcome to Rank S.

It's your favourite transatlantic football podcast.

My name's Jack Collins and I'll be your host today, live from London, and all the way

across the water, early doors in San Diego.

It's Mr Dean Jones. How you doing, mate? Hello, mate? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. But a good start to the Premier League season, isn't it? That's been lively, so that's been fun. It's that little period where I'm just full. My brain is at full capacity because the football started as well, and I've still got all the transfer stuff so it's like the the crossover period so yeah I've just maxed out but um this is your Venn diagram of doom god I hate Venn diagrams but yeah absolutely is absolutely is um

look could be worse it could be West Ham.

So I wouldn't want to be West Ham right now.

So that's good.

I'm not them.

No, you're not.

And today we're going to be talking about the deals left to do in this window.

There is under a week of the transfer window left. And there is still a fair amount of business that feels like it needs to be done. Now, some of that is contingent on other deals happening, et cetera, et cetera. And we talk about the domino effect quite a lot on the podcast, right? Like, can clubs start to do their business until the big deals at the top are completed when the, those kind of monies dry up and everyone's looking at it and saying okay some players might be available that we didn't think were available at the start of the window. It's what makes deadline day and those kind of days rolling up to it so much fun. I think for a lot of seems but there's a lot still to happen at the top of the table and some of the biggest clubs. We're going to run through the Premier League today and have a look at what deals might need to be done, what have to be done,

what needs to stay,

etc, etc, across the course of it. So there's a lot to get through and I'm going to sort of hand

the plate to you to set it all out. Yeah, I'm going to start with Tottenham because it's

just that there's just so much to talk about, quite frankly.

A good start to the season, Thomas Frank is a boss.

He's a boss.

He's figuring out different game plans for any occasion and they seem to be working.

Let's hope that he's not such a good manager that Daniel Levy is like, oh, he's fine with what he's got. Let's hope that that doesn't

happen. Totnamar in the market right now scrambling around almost quite literally at the moment
