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

Hello, R Squad and welcome to Ranks FC. It's your favourite transatlantic football podcast.

My name is Jack Collins, freshly back in London, just got off the plane from Porto. So it's nice to be back in the capital. I'm joined across the

water at far earlier in the day in terms of where his timeline is at. Mr. Dean Jones, how you doing,

mate? Yeah, I'm good, mate. Yeah, much happier to be recording this time. I think recently we

recorded when it was late at night for me and early for you in the morning and that didn't really suit either of us.

So while I mean it is ridiculous that you're sat here, gone midnight recording a podcast,

we do appreciate your efforts, sir.

But I'm happy to be sat here at four o'clock in the afternoon, having a nice cup of tea,

mate.

The sun's going to, about to go down here in San Diego. But yeah, very chilled vibes over of tea, mate. The sun's about to go down here in San Diego, but yeah,

very chilled vibes over my end, mate. This is more my speed. Like, recording at midnight,

it's far better for me than recording at seven in the morning. These are the hours on which I'll

operate. As I said before, I basically will pray it on Eastern time now. So actually it's only kind of 7pm by my body clock, which is fine.

We can work with that.

We can work with that.

We're going to be talking about transfers today.

The window is open and we're going to be focusing mostly on the Premier League about

teams who needs to win the transfer window and who season really kind of hangs in the

balance in terms of what's going on here.

I'll touch a little bit on a couple of European clubs, but you're going to lead us through

the main bit about the Premier League.
