It will not have escaped your attention that we here at Big Website are true football hipsters. Football Daily was into gegenpressing in the nascent days of Ralf Rangnick; we bought a Napoli shirt in the pre-mohawk Marek Hamsik era and, as we hammered Premier Manager for 18 hours straight, we drank fluorescent orange fruit beers before they showed up in any pub with a dodgy firestick. When it comes to assessing the transfer scene of summer 24, then, it’s the B-side deals that really wet our whistle, not the chart-toppers. So you can keep your Kylian Mbappés, your Endricks and even your Leny Yoros (sorry, Manchester United, but signing a generational teenager wanted by Real Madrid and paying £50m for the privilege hasn’t flown under anyone’s radar). Where are the bargains?

I was at that match snapped by Héctor Vivas and the photo is a lot more exciting than sitting through the actual 90 minutes was” – Jim Hearson.
