The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast - Episode 2

On this second episode, Nick & Dom discuss two current hot topics.... The Transfer Window and Pre-Season In the first half, we discuss things such as: Is a fixed window really the best way of operating a transfer market? Was it better before the two fixed windows, and if so, why? How much power do Agents now have? Why does the window drive pressure and panic buying? Who are the winners and losers? What about loans? This and much more to get football fans thinking and discussing amongst themselves. In the second half, we turn to the Pre-Season, discussing areas such as: Do pre-season friendlies tell us ANYTHING? Minutes on the grass v running and cycling up hills? The health responsibilities of a modern day footballer Global brand awareness v burnout - who is responsible? Our best ever pre-season memory (clue, it is hard to recall) Our view on pre-season predictions....... Plenty to get you thinking about your own teams' pre-season and what it might mean for the season ahead - if anything.
