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 football podcast back for another week.

And back this time to take a look at the summer transfer window of 2023.

Enough time has now passed that we can officially look back and rank some of the best

value transfers that we saw last summer.

My name is Jack Collins and I'll be your host today and joining me as ever my co-host,

Mr Dean Jones.

How you doing, mate?

Yeah, I'm good, mate.

Yeah, I mean, my role as a transfer guru is usually looking forward, not backwards.

So this is a little bit of change of pace.

I've been to reverse a little bit and actually judge what deals were worth the money.

But that's good.

It's good fun, especially when you consider the January transfer window was a complete dud.

The summer window definitely wasn't. A load of stuff happened and we tend to forget the moves that actually happened and just reflecting on it

to build up this episode was actually interesting in itself just to remember the kind of deals that

clubs were pulling off.

So, yeah, it's been a fun exercise.

And yeah, I think this will be fun, mate.

I think we've got some good stuff to dig into it.

Yeah, absolutely.
