Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and John Brewin to discuss all things deadline day and digest the biggest talking points from the midweek matches.

Tottenham swept Manchester United aside as Alexis Sánchez endured a league debut to forget, but why does one of the panel link Paul Pogba with Alanis Morrisette’s best selling album?

Chelsea finally bought a striker but Olivier Giroud could only sit and watch as they were humbled by Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge … much like the Frenchman did for 76 minutes of Swansea’s shock win the previous night as he made his final outing for Arsenal. Will it all change now Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on the payroll?

Elsewhere, we debate whether Aymeric Laporte really is the final piece of Pep Guardiola’s defensive jigsaw, what an earth is going on behind the scenes at West Ham and Paolo Bandini delivers his verdict on the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

Back on Monday! And we’ve got to keep the comments off this week, apologies. They should be back then too.

PS: Football Weekly Live returns! This time in Dublin on Tuesday 27 February. Max and Barry will be joined by Barney Ronay and Jonathan Wilson for the first live show of 2018. Get your tickets here.
