This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Bottom line podcast from Liverpool Echo, the

podcast that takes a look at the game behind the game and seeks to make sense of

everything off the pitch at Anfield. It's been a while since we were last on, but

there is plenty for us to digest after a remarkable summer of transfer business.

The summer where Saudi Arabia made their mark on the global stage with their

transfer activity including a late swoop for Liverpool's talismanic Mohammed Sala and where

Chelsea owners Todd Burley and Clear Lake Capital got everyone talking about amortization.

Joining me today is a friend of the show, Sports Lawyer and author of books including Dundeal and most recently

building the invisible Daniel G. Daniel's extensive experience and insight when it comes to

player transfers and takeovers makes him the perfect person to kick us off once more after our brief hiatus.

It's hard to remember a time when it's been so much activity so fervent

and at such high prices and high volume as this summer.

It's been quite extraordinary.

Yeah, I mean, there's all, I feel it always comes

in different cycles, doesn't it really?

It feels like this was almost the window
