On how Liverpool manage all of their forward options:

They will rotate for sure, but they also have the Africa Cup of Nations when Mohammed Salah will step out of the team, so there will be opportunities there to spread the load.

We know Cody Gakpo can play across all three of those forward positions, and I would have though he would move over to that right hand side and Ekitike and Isak will rotata and be interchangeable off the left and down the middle.

But what you've got to realise is that you're going to Liverpool where they play in the Premier League and Champions League and other cup competitions, and you won't be playing every week. There will be competition for places.

Premier League on X: "We can confirm that a record number of transfer deal sheets were submitted today. Keep an eye on all the moves as they happen!"

That is Aaron Ramsey, his brother Jacob and his namesake the other Aaron Ramsey all on the move this summer.

Burnley midfielder Aaron Ramsey has joined Leicester on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old joined the Clarets for £12m in 2023 but has made just eight starts due to a serious knee injury he suffered last year.

The former Aston Villa trainee played and scored in Burnley's 2-1 EFL Cup win over Derby last month.

Ramsey joins Jordan James and Julian Carranza as deadline day signings for the Foxes.

Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong has signed for Championship side Preston on a season-long loan.

The 18-year-old featured against Brighton in August before starting in the win over Mansfield in the EFL Cup.

Former England midfielder Dele Alli has left Serie A club Como by mutual agreement.

The 29-year-old played once for the club, and was sent off, in a loss at Milan in March.

A statement read: "Dele is keen to secure regular playing opportunities and, as he was not part of the club’s immediate plans, both parties felt it was the right decision to part ways ahead of the transfer window closing.

"The club thanks Dele for his time at Como and wishes him the very best for the future."

If Gianluigi Donnarumma goes in, he is number one. Why go in for him?

If Donnarumma comes in he has the pedigree and understanding of what it takes to play for a big team.

He doesn't go in there without thinking he is number one. From James Trafford's point of view, I would be bitterly disappointed.

Yes, you can learn of a great goalkeeper, but there is an element I could have been playing for Burnley in the Premier League.

He probably looked at it and thought there's an opportunity to go win trophies.

I think Trafford will be disappointed.

Any danger of that £125m signing getting announced any time soon?

Aston Villa forward Zepiqueno Redmond has signed for League One side Huddersfield Town for the rest of the season.

If I wanted to hear about book profit I'd have taken the offer of an accountancy course at a Dublin university in 2002 instead of going to Liverpool to study journalism.

The two most baffling deals of this window are Facundo Buonanotte and Julio Enciso both belong to Chelsea's parent company.

The way PSR works - all the profit from the sale is booked this year. The fee you pay is spread out over five years.

The book profit is the difference in that figure.

Speaking earlier about how Guehi would be feeling if his move to Liverpool collapsed - which we now know it has:

I think if it was either of the other two players that forced their moves then there would be serious problems. But for Marc, I don't know him but for the impression that they get the way that he conducts himself...

I think he wanted to go to Liverpool and told Crystal Palace, "If you can make it happen that would be great, and if it doesn't happen, so be it."

By the sounds of it, he will shrug his shoulders and say, "My bag's packed, give me the nod and let me know who I'm playing for and I'll give my all."
