Football has enter an era of exorbitant levels of expenditure, in particular — the Premier League. This transfer window has been the perfect example of how now is almost impossible to compete with the amounts of money flying around in England. Moves such as, Enzo Fernandez for €121.00m and Mykhalo Mudryk for €70.00m and even relegation candidates fighting for talented wonderkids like Bournemouth signing Ilya Zabaryni for €22.70m or Southampton going for Kamaldeen Sulemana for €25.00m. The disparity keeps getting bigger and it seems there is nothing the world of football can do about it to stop it. 

In this episode of the The Engine Room Podcast we go ahead and cover the winter transfer window and try to make sense of the state of the sport with this crazy spending.

This new episode of The Engine Room the gang begins by discussing the imminent Messi news. It seems that he doesn’t want to renew with PSG anymore. What does this mean for his career? Where will he go next? Is a potential return to Barcelona still possible? Jumping onto Premier League action, Arsenal are up first after their massive 3-2 victory over Manchester United. Trossard shined, could he be the turning point in their title charge? What’s up with Liverpool and Chelsea though? A boring 0-0 draw displayed all current issues with the both teams with the exception of Chelsea’s newest incorporation Mykhailo Mudryk! Oh and Everton sacked Frank Lampard. In Spain both Barcelona and Real Madrid maintain the title race alive with wins over Getafe and Athletic Bilbao respectively. In Serie A however, Juventus have been deducted 15 points and now drop to 10th in the table. Napoli now have a golden chance to lift the Scudetto.

Jumping over to the Premier League, Manchester is Red and so seems to be the title race itself. Arsenal sit on top with an 8 point difference on Manchester City. With every passing week it looks more like it's Arteta's team to lose since all Liverpool, Spurs & Chelsea are also failing to compete.
