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

Hello, Ranks Squad and welcome to Ranks FC.

It's your favourite transatlantic football podcast.

My name is Jack Collins and I will be your host there.

And joining me across the water from San Diego, it's our transfer guru. Dean Jones how you doing mate? Hello mate yeah I'm very good thank you of course I'm good the the transfer window

is closed so I'm now back to being a different version of myself one that um my family probably

prefer um but uh yeah it's it's nice to have a little bit more freedom in my head.

I think that it was a good transfer window,

unless you were maybe an Arsenal fan

and didn't get that forward that you thought could have been

transformative, I guess, to what you were trying to do.

I was obviously deep in it on deadline day and working on it from San Diego,

I meant I was up from about 4 a.m.

It was fine.

Like it was quite exciting the first few hours I was up because all the Matias Tell stuff

was kicking off and things like that.

But that Arsenal forward just never surfaced.

And yesterday I did a podcast for Give Me Sport and it's halfway through the day.

And I was doing it with Joel Bayer who just kept asking me over and over again.

But who are Arsenal signing?

And what about Arsenal?

And he asked Fabrizio, and he asked Ben Jacobs.
