| 0:37.4 | Hello and welcome to the Football Reporters. |
| 0:40.3 | Well, the Premier League dominated the rest of Europe in the transfer market once again spending 3 billion pounds. |
| 0:47.3 | Is there any sign of the mega money move slowing down? |
| 0:50.3 | Liverpool and Arsenal led the spending, but did the title contenders make the right moves? |
| 0:55.4 | And a look at Manchester United, with players shown the exit door and a new goalkeeper on the way. |
| 1:00.3 | Has it been a good window for Ruben Amarren? |
| 1:03.4 | Well, the transfer window is now closed, slammed shut lads, as they say. |

| 1:12.7 | The Premier League has spent that money for the very first time, all 20 clubs together. |
