Summary: Even before the Etienne Capoue deal was signed and delivered by Tottenham, Daniel Levy and Spurs have repeatedly defined the early stages of the Premier League transfer window with a number of clever sales and buys that seem to prepare the ground for what may come next in the Gareth Bale coronation at Real Madrid, followed by the collateral damage of a very murky top four prospectus in the English top flight. However, in stark contrast, many of the other top four candidates for the 2013-14 season have yet to land the type of distinguishing moves which would indicate a firm favorite or alteration in the overall pecking order as Manchester City and Chelsea appear to have nudged out a bit given the combination of changes in managers and their potential to land their clear targets during this closed season, with Jose Mourinho clearly playing a game of cat and mouse with Manchester United as he seeks to land Wayne Rooney late in the window. Then there is the matter of Arsenal which seems to have left it too late and is faced with the real prospect of not landing the big target once stated by Ivan Gazidis with a substantial transfer war-chest and an organizational-level inability to deliver the kind of breakthrough talent after consecutive seasons of a surplus in the transfer market from high profile sales. In part one we set the stage for the last month of the transfer market in the Premier League, introduce a new and important partner to the broadcast, then we move to segment two where your questions direct both the content and context of the episode where concerns about top four in the Premier League is considered, the newest managers with the highest potential for immediate success is probed and we try to get underneath the bluster at Arsenal where a large number of supporters keep asking serious questions about who exactly is responsible for not delivering the quality that the team-sheet must have to be competitive on all fronts, even though Arsene Wenger suggests otherwise.
