Ranking the Most Expensive PL Signings Ever

Hello Rank Squad!With Declan Rice becoming the second most expensive Premier League signing in history, we decided to have a look through the top 10 and cast our eye over what we could learn from the others - from Virgil van Dijk to Enzo Fernandez, and everyone in between. Jack and Dean take a look through the deals that make up those headline purchases, and examine how and why they either succeeded or failed, to get a read on the situation. There's a Things We Love, which discusses the new war of words between the Saudi Pro League and MLS off the back of Cristiano Ronaldo's latest comments, and also some wonderful homecomings made in this transfer window. Plus, Hot Takes returns - this week we hear your views on offsides, net spend, and whether Paul Scholes was better than Zinedine Zidane.
