With Musa on the road with Wrighty, he and Ryan recorded on Wednesday, reflecting on some key transfer deadline day deals, beginning with the loan deals that saw Antoine Griezmann return to Atlético Madrid, Saul Niguéz head to Chelsea, and Luuk de Jong arrive at Barcelona (04:40). There’s also chat about Hector Bellerin’s loan to Real Betis with another right back, Takehiro Tomiyasu, going to Arsenal from Bologna (17:45), Liverpool’s window (26:24), and the Premier League’s financial dominance during this window (30:00). They touch on Marcel Sabitzer’s move to Bayern (32:50), before looking at one that didn’t happen, albeit not surprisingly, as Kylian Mbappé remains at PSG despite Real Madrid’s very public pursuit (34:12), plus which debuts they’re looking forward to, and more.

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Oliver Kay to look at how Lionel Messi's transfer to PSG plays against the backdrop of financial fair play, nearly ten years after it was first introduced by UEFA. With Man City and PSG spending as much as they ever have, can we really say that FFP has worked? Has it merely supressed the middle and allowed the elite to break free? Is this latest spending spree just a quirk of the post-covid landscape? We are also joined by Luis Garcia Alvarez - football investor and equity portfolio manager for MAPFRE - for a look at the deal La Liga have done with investment fund CVC Capital - selling a 10% stake for 2.7 billion - and whether it is a good deal for the Spanish clubs. Is it the way forward for European sports leagues to grow revenues sustainably? Or is it dangerous to put your destiny in the hands of profit-minded investors? Hosted on Acast.
