Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's David Ornstein, Adam Crafton & Dominic Fifield to look back on the January 2021 transfer window:

Why was it so quiet? Who stands to benefit from it being so quiet? And we’ll look ahead to what we can expect this summer and beyond..

They'll also pick the bones out of the main stories of transfer deadline day including the mechanics behind the players Arsenal got out of the door, why Daniel Levy may have blocked Dele Alli's path out of Spurs and the challenges faced in moving elite players in the current climate.

Barcelona top the Deloitte Money League but still face financial peril

Mark Chapman and The Athletic's Matt Slater assess the current state of football's financial landscape as the effects of the pandemic start to take a greater hold on the game.

We speak to Deloitte's Tim Bridge after the firm published their annual money league this week with Barcelona sitting at the top on revenues of £627 million, but in the very same week we've seen headlines in Spain suggesting Barca are on the bring of bankruptcy.

So how can a club that makes so much money be in so much debt? How badly have clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs felt the pinch as we approach a year without fans in stadiums?

We're also joined by Roger Bell and John Purcell from football finance analysts Vysble to look at the bigger picture for football's uncertain financial future. What do the creeping levels of American investment in English football mean for the future of our game? Does it all just lead us back to the eternally looming prospect of a European super league?
