Treble Radio Transfer Deadline Special

Treble Radio Transfer Deadline Special covers all the latest transfer dealings as the summer window closes.

The transfer deadline has passed, and this year it’s all about the moves that didn’t happen. Specifically, that one big move that Manchester United and Real Madrid had all summer to complete and ended up with goalkeeper David De Gea stuck in Manchester and everyone upset.

We look back at the summer dealings in this Treble Radio transfer deadline special and talk about who had a good window and who didn’t. Laura gets defensive and ends up sticking up for a move she started out by saying was bad, and we discuss which teams filled holes in their squads and which team named Arsenal maybe failed to do so.  We talk about Saido Berahino being stuck at West Brom, Everton holding on to John Stones, and whether West Brom and Everton are right to claim that Spurs and Chelsea were trying to unsettle their players by making public comments about their potential transfers.
Did United overspend on Anthony Martial? Did they improve enough? How badly did Arsenal strike out in this window? Did they give themselves a real chance to compete for the Premiership title, or leave themselves short? Which relegation-threatened team impressed Arslan with their last minute dealings?

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Laura was trained from birth to be a Nebraska Cornhusker Football fan. Unlike most Huskers, her dad played soccer and introduced her to that sport as well, which understandably stole her heart. Laura’s love for the Spice Girls and Harry Potter carried her love for soccer across the Atlantic to a team not unlike her Huskers, Manchester United. They were once great and believe they can be again, but it hasn’t really happened yet. Laura is also a fan of the MLS team Sporting Kansas City.

Eric Walcott is a Legislative Assistant in the Michigan House of Representatives by day, and a soccer fan 24/7. He’s played soccer his whole life and now covers MLS, Portland Timbers, and Arsenal for LWOS. Eric helped start the supporters group Sons of Ransom for NPSL club Lansing United because there’s nothing quite like standing in the crowd and supporting your local team every weekend. 4th place might not be a trophy, but THE FA CUP SURELY IS!

Treble Radio host, Arslan Siddiqui, is a Canadian who does not speak many languages, but he has definitely specialized in the language of the beautiful game. When his grasp of the language isn’t strong enough, he (tries) to substitute it with comedy. He is a Liverpool fan who started the ‘Anfield Alive’ column on Last Word On Sports, where he provides commentary and opinion on everything Liverpool and Premier League related. A university student and a young adult, he promises to provide entertainment and (a little bit of) knowledge!
