What is a summer without the transfer window? On this episode we reminisce on simpler times when the transfer record was broken "only" 5 times in 10 years (3:40). Learn more about the Argentine transfer king, how the Galacticos project inflated the market and how shady dealings between Italian clubs were already a thing.

Then, the guys cover some iconic transfers in greater depth (21:30). There is talk of Cashley Cole, a bizarre double-signing in East London, the first big Manchester City statement transfer and, of course, a discussion on the Beckham Experiment. Will he go down as the Michael Jordan of soccer in the USA?

Finally, we can never let you go without a high stakes round of trivia involving some of the most transferred players of the decade (54:55). Enjoy!
