| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to the Overlap Breakdown channel. I'm joined as always by my co-host |
| 0:05.1 | Umeir, who's professional football scout and analyst, and we're here to pick one perfect transfer |
| 0:10.3 | for every single Premier League club this January transfer window. |
| 0:16.9 | Just in case anyone's curious, we have no idea who we've picked for each club. |
