On this second episode, Nick & Dom discuss two current hot topics....

The Transfer Window and Pre-Season

In the first half, we discuss things such as:

• Is a fixed window really the best way of operating a transfer market?
• Was it better before the two fixed windows, and if so, why?
• How much power do Agents now have?
• Why does the window drive pressure and panic buying?
• Who are the winners and losers?
• What about loans?

This and much more to get football fans thinking and discussing amongst themselves.

In the second half, we turn to the Pre-Season, discussing areas such as:

• Do pre-season friendlies tell us ANYTHING?
• Minutes on the grass v running and cycling up hills?
• The health responsibilities of a modern day footballer
• Global brand awareness v burnout - who is responsible?
• Our best ever pre-season memory (clue, it is hard to recall)
• Our view on pre-season predictions.......

Plenty to get you thinking about your own teams' pre-season and what it might mean for the season ahead - if anything.
