Ranking Big Transfer Stories Ahead of January

Ranks FC - A Football Podcast

Hello Rank Squad!

It's that time of year where certain teams start looking towards the January Transfer Window to either bolster their side for a silverware push, or to try and fix gaping holes to resurrect a flailing season. We take a look at both in today's episode, where Dean walks us through some of the things he thinks might take place in the upcoming winter window.

We talk about a number of things - a potential Manchester City move for more goalscoring potential on the pitch, whether Malik Tillman might be in demand from Premier League clubs, possible landing spots for Lyon's Rayan Cherki if his club are forced to sell by financial constraints, who Real Madrid might target to deal with their defensive deficiencies, how Barcelona might try to find some backup for prodigious talent Lamine Yamal, and where Liverpool might go in their search to either try and long-term replace or assist Mohamed Salah as that contract situation rolls onwards.

Before that, however, there's time for Things We Love, where we discuss some of Jude Bellingham's comments regarding feeling low after England duty this summer due to some of the criticism received, and the reports coming out of Spain that Peter Lim is apparently finally about to sell Valencia, ending nearly a decade of fan-led protests against his running the club into the ground.

It's Ranks!
