00:00 The transfer window has seen many inflated deals, but who has done the best and worst business?
00:06 Just looking at the transfer window as a whole, who do you think will prove to be the best signing?
00:12 Obviously it's been a crazy window. We spoke earlier on our morning show of how many have gone to Saudi Arabia.
00:18 It's just a topic that keeps popping up. But just world football, has anyone stood out to you?
00:24 We've seen James Madison, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham as well. They could all prove really good signings.
00:30 Has anyone caught your eye?
00:32 Yeah, Bellingham started well, hasn't he? Real Madrid. Just unbelievable generational talent.
00:38 A lot of people, Spanish Harry Kane a little bit, for going to Bayern Munich.
00:44 I think it's a brave move for him, to be honest, getting himself out of the comfort zone.
00:48 Ultimately, if he goes and wins the Champions League there, he'll be a Bayern Munich legend forever.
00:55 They're still trying to fill the boots of Lewandowski, who left.
01:01 If he can do that, he'll prove that he's a top world-class player, like a lot of people say he is.
01:11 But there are some doubts, as he's never won anything.
01:14 Will he still get that if he just wins the Bundesliga? Bayern Munich have done it 11 in a row now.
01:21 I quite like that move, to be honest with you.
01:25 I'd probably say that one off the top of my head is the one I'm looking forward to seeing.
01:34 If you could pick any individual transfer that stood out to you, and then also have a look at any team that you think has done the best business overall, let us know what you think.
01:42 Everton, in terms of a poor window, I'd probably go for them.
01:46 The fact that they're rock bottom of the Premier League, if I'm not mistaken, and just looking really poor.
01:50 Even under Sean Dye, who's a really good, experienced manager, can't seem to get them firing.
01:55 I know they've just brought in Beto, that striker from Serie A.
01:59 He scored, I believe, on his debut, just within a day or two of signing for them.
02:04 But is he going to be enough? Someone like Dominic Calvert-Lewin, I know it's not a transfer, but constantly getting injured all the time.
02:10 They need probably more than one new addition up top.
02:13 Alex Iwobi's off to Fulham, so they're losing another wide player there.
02:17 I know he's not quite hit the heights people expected after he signed for Marston a few years back, but I think him going is not going to help.
02:24 I'm pretty disappointed in the Walses and Everton fan, to be fair.
02:27 And Wolves, if they hadn't done business in the last few days, I think they'd probably be even further below Everton.
02:35 Once again, though, these are players that aren't really proven. They're more youngsters. Are there more future options? I'm not too sure.
02:42 It can't be helped with financial fair play, but I think it's been pretty poor for Wolves.
02:46 Charles, are you a bit worried after the business, or are you a little bit more revived?
02:51 Well, yeah, obviously, the late business is a bit more pleasing to see, isn't it?
02:56 Obviously, as I said earlier, late business is better than no business at all, I think, for anyone.
