Take time to think. Hello and welcome to the transfer window.

This is the podcast that not only takes you inside the biggest deals at the biggest clubs in world football,

but brings you insight and analysis of the issues that matter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I'm Johnny McFarlane and joining me our pundits extraordinaire, Duncan Castles, and Ian McGarry.

Duncan, we're on Tensor Hooks.
