Fernandes on fire for United as Chelsea show title credentials?

**James Richardson** (0:00)
From downtown London, it's Totally Football Show with our Sunday night round up.
Week 2, Bruno stars, cheeky Fernandes and a very, very good hat trick as Man United put five past Ipswich. Cole Palmer's Chelsea and Chucky's City put the pressure on Arsenal with four goals apiece against Brighton and Palace and Spiers. Their bids are not finished 17th this season on track. Currently got last place nailed down. It's Sunday the 30th of August and after a significant VAR-esque delay, we're here with our Sunday night live round up. I'm so excited because we've got a Ranchito reunion going on in the studio. Tom Williams is here.

**Tom Williams** (0:50)
Howdy, James.

**James Richardson** (0:51)
Howdy to you too. It's a return for Tim Spears as well.

**Tim Spiers** (0:55)
Hello, James.

**James Richardson** (0:56)
In your big branded Los Angeles hat as well.

**Tim Spiers** (0:59)
It's an LA reunion, so I thought I'd bring my big LA hat.

**James Richardson** (1:02)
All right. It wouldn't be an LA reunion or a Van Noys one without Felipe Cardenas.

**Felipe Cardenas** (1:09)
What is happening? Thank you. I should have worn my LA Dodgers hat and you should have worn your LA Dodgers jersey.

**James Richardson** (1:16)
I am. It's on. It's happening.
Felipe Cardenas is not here in the studio. Lucky chap. He's over in lovely Atlanta, Georgia. How's Atlanta, Felipe?

**Felipe Cardenas** (1:29)
Atlanta, Georgia, yes. Home of hip hop. It's beautiful here. I think the summer is starting to end. It's almost fall and fall is a lovely season here in the South. If you haven't come to Atlanta before, come visit. You'll love it. It's a great city.

**James Richardson** (1:44)
All right. Excellent. Go and see some football as well.

**Felipe Cardenas** (1:47)
Oh, yeah. There's plenty to do here. Every sport. You can watch any sport you want. All right.

**James Richardson** (1:51)
How's the new season going there?

**Felipe Cardenas** (1:55)
In MLS, the MLS season is back after the World Cup. I guess the latest headline is that Lionel Messi scored four goals last night, made it look very easy.
Yeah, there's a whole fiasco around Inter Miami. They don't, Lionel Messi is just hiring his friends as coaches, and it's just what it is. It's interesting that he's still here doing what he does.

**James Richardson** (2:18)
Excellent. Well, he did look pretty phenomenal last night. We're going to talk about Premier League Week 2, though. We might touch on some of the transfers as well, because of course, Tim, the transfer market is going to close on Tuesday evening. What time on Tuesday evening, UK time?

**Tim Spiers** (2:34)
11pm.

**James Richardson** (2:34)
11pm? Yes. All the way to 11

**Tim Spiers** (2:37)
Yeah.

**Tom Williams** (2:38)
Was it slam shut?

**Tim Spiers** (2:42)
Someone always tries to put the foot in the door to get a couple of deals over the line. It will be a 2am sort of finish.

**Felipe Cardenas** (2:46)
Oh yeah. Yeah.

**Tim Spiers** (2:47)
Okay. But it's good fun.

**James Richardson** (2:49)
There have been some major moves, not confirmed perhaps, that have been going on today. This Cody Gakpo Liverpool to City thing, which seems to be happening, also Spiers signing a player. That's new. Iliman Ndiaye from Everton with Richarlison and some money going the other way.

**Tim Spiers** (3:09)
Potentially, although Richarlison has been linked on the internet with Atletico Madrid today. I don't know how sort of solid that is, but they do feel like sort of a match made in heaven.

**James Richardson** (3:19)
Richarlison and Atletico Madrid.

**Tom Williams** (3:22)
Charles and Diego Simeone, just imagine.

**James Richardson** (3:25)
I'm struggling with that one, Felipe.

**Felipe Cardenas** (3:28)
I don't know about that. Especially if you're Julián Alvarez and you're like, I want out of here that they don't let you leave, and then they're like, but we're going to bring in another striker anyway.

**James Richardson** (3:37)
Or Richarlison.

**Felipe Cardenas** (3:39)
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how. I feel like Simeone just doesn't know what he wants to do at the nine position if he's considering Richarlison. All right.

**Tim Spiers** (3:46)
Well, they don't feel like great financials for Everton, by the way. If they do get Richarlison for 35, and Ndiaye in this mad market goes for 60 to Spiers.

**James Richardson** (4:00)
That's low.

**Tim Spiers** (4:01)
I think so.

**Felipe Cardenas** (4:02)
Yeah, I would agree.

**James Richardson** (4:04)
Although some people say that Ndiaye, although he looks great, doesn't actually produce the numbers in the final third.

**Tom Williams** (4:11)
I think that's probably fair. I mean, he's brilliant to watch. Every time you watch Everton, he's invariably the player who stands out the most, because he's so good. He's such a fantastic dribbler and carrier of the ball. But his stats are pretty underwhelming. And Tottenham have appeared to have already cornered the market in attacking players who look good on paper but aren't. And yeah, I guess they figure they needed one more.
