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

It's your favourite football podcast back for another week in the January transfer window where the news and the cycle never stops.

My name is Jack Collins and I'll be your host today.

And joining me to our transfer guru is to Dean Jones.

How you doing, mate?

I'm good, mate.

I'm good.

And obviously it's been a big week because on the Patreon on Monday, we announced

Mellon of the Year.

So if you didn't listen, you've all missed out. It was a spare

of the moment decision. But the melon of the year was a deserved award, wasn't it?

It was. It was. It was good. It came out of nowhere. It was a little bit out of the blue. But

here we are. We have a melon of the year. It's real good. And would encourage anyone to go and listen to Monday's Patreon Postbox

to find out who got that coveted award. Well, non-coveted award, should we say. But yeah,

I'm good, mate. You've been in Portugal. How are you? I have, yeah. It's been very good. I've had a nice time in Portugal.

I'm going to talk about it a bit in things we love. I got to go to a game, very special game, actually, which was exciting.

Switched for a different type of black and white on this weekend.

But yeah, it was nice. Back home again, got home late last night. So back in the schedule. No rest for the Wicked though. I'm off to Liverpool tomorrow to go and see Fullen play at Amfield,

which will be exciting.

How are you getting there?

What are you doing?

I'm getting a train up midday tomorrow.
