James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop react to Thursday’s Transfer Deadline Day deals, and the incredible amounts of money spent by Premier League clubs in this summer transfer window. More than £2 billion ($3.03 million CAD) changed hands, seeing players like Antony join Manchester United and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang return to London to join Chelsea. But Cristiano Ronaldo did not leave Man Utd, despite a summer of speculation that he did not want to stay and miss out on a season of Champions League football. 

  Leicester City’s reluctance to spend money has Brendan Rodgers calling out his owners, and the crew wondering if he’s the next man to lose his job. Would he get another big job after LCFC? Chelsea fans will have to wait to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in Chelsea blue as he recovers from a broken jaw suffered during a home invasion in Spain, that led to a “more money, more problems” conversation about what footballers, like Paul Pogba, have to deal with off the pitch that people often don’t consider when criticizing what they’re doing on the pitch. Producer Dan Wong and Jimmy share near death experiences, that they laugh through the entire time. Spoiler alert: pizzas and peeing ones pants are themes. And Footy Picks sees the boys sit on the fence chasing draws and underdogs.    The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV. Don’t miss a second of the action!
