Hello Rank Squad!

This transfer window has been a funny one across the board in many ways - we've seen the Premier League's financial dominance of the market fall by the wayside, and a quieter one all round take place across Europe. So, in regards to that, we've decided to eschew our usual Deadline Day preview episode in favour of something looking a bit further forward - to working out who could be the next player to break the nine-figure-mark in terms of a transfer fee. 

For our main ranking this week, we discuss the effect that Kylian Mbappé moving for free could have on the market, as well as putting forward cases for Marcus Rashford, Rafael Leão, Mohamed Salah, Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala. 

We haven't forgotten about Deadline Day entirely though - Part One is a discussion of why this January market has been such a quiet one, and what it means for the complexities of the transfer market looking forwards, as well as discussing a few of the deals that could happen over the coming days. 

And Part Three's Guru Wisdom allows us to take a deeper insight as to what the phone activity of a Transfer Guru looks like in the final week of a transfer window - as Dean reveals the numbers and statistics that Apple have kindly revealed to him, and what they might mean. 

It's Ranks!

Welcome to episode three of the Not Another Footie Podcast. This week, my guests are Rafi Marom and Andrew Fox. After the recent transfers, we talk through the ten most expensive Premier League transfers and whether they have worked and are value for money. We also look at the recent transfer of Neymar and how we will remember Neymar's career in Europe.

Fussballromantiker, Neymar-Superfan und NZZ-Fussballjournalist Fabian Ruch muss diese Woche ganz stark sein. Sein grosser brasilianischer Held verlässt die europäische Fussballbühne in Richtung Saudiarabien. In der neusten Folge «Anderi Liga» wird dies mit 20-Minuten-Sportchef Tobias Wedermann intensiv analysiert, aber auch, was beim FC Bayern und Harry Kane los ist sowie die immer grösser werdende Saisonstartkrise beim FC Basel.

On this week's dig: I talk about Real Salt Lake's exit from the League's Cup, the disparity of MLS vs Liga MX, what the MLS needs to do to improve and where I stand on what Cristiano Ronaldo said about MLS vs the Saudi Pro League. 

MLB's trade deadline is this week, what are the Angels, Cubs and Rockies doing!? Surprisingly, I like what 2 of those three have decided, I'll let you guess who I don't like...

I wrap it up with a little gaming talk and what is wrong with the review industry.
