The transfer window isn't over yet, but as of right now, you have to say Liverpool is the transfer winner.
They are absolutely putting in work.
I have a list of their transfers right here because I didn't want to make any mistakes and let her check and let the comments go crazy.
Uh, but they've absolutely put in work.
Obviously, we are you know Floriverts, incredible Kirke, incredible Frimpong, incredible.
They've also brought in some additional bodies like Harvey Davies, Woodman, Pepsi.
I hope I pronounced that correctly.
The basic point is though, when you look at it, and we talked about this last week, Liverpool said, all right, we won the league easily, right?

In pretty easy fashion we won the league.
Well, yeah, we didn't do that well in Champions League once we got to the knockout stages, right?
They got bumped out, they were on top of the the league phase.
How do you, how do you make yourself better than you were last year?
And that's, you gotta make yourself better on a global stage versus just in the Premier League.
In the Premier League, well, you have to do is keep pace with everyone else cause you're already better than everybody else.
How do you, and they're gonna retool to try to beat you.
How do you get better in Champions League?
How about you go out and get pretty much the number one wonder kid in all of the sport in Florian Virts, and you pay in ungodly amount.

I mean, what is it?
120, 125 million, which feels like too much.
It's a lot of money for.
I mean, even seeing that, like Virts is good.
Am I crazy for thinking that it's a little too absolutely incredible 125 million.
It seems like a lot of money.
My winner is Chelsea, the best club in the world, I guess right now.
For the moment, winners of the Club World Cup and watching them play in person as well, you see the, I mean, John Pedro, I think might end up being the signing of the of the season, as far as how effective he was and he came from vacation and was like, hey, I'm already in form to be playing, so I think he's gonna end up being probably the one of the better transfers of the season.
