Episode 1539: Deadline Day

Today’s late show is a Transfer Deadline Day special.

What are Chelsea thinking letting David Luiz join Arsenal? How does Kieran Tierney compare to Andy Robertson? Is Jurgen Klopp serious when he says Liverpool don’t need to sign anybody? And why can some clubs never seem to figure out which players they need until it’s too late to do anything about it?
