Petition for Jamie Carragher to interview every actor hailing from Liverpool because between his sexy sexy accent and waxing poetic about football, he brings out/enhances the native scouse in anyone’s accent and that is precisely what I deserve.

Arsenal turned it around but Zaha had a nightmare… the winners and losers of the transfer window
With the window summer transfer now closed, it's time to let football do talk while the Premier League is getting ready to start all over again.
Top-flight clubs were desperately looking for a number of last-minute signing sessions on Thursday before the 5:00 PM deadline, while others attempted to unload players to reduce their squadrones.
Here, Sportsmail took a look who the winners and losers were yet another hectic window ….
WINNERS
Arsenal
It was all ruin and gloom at the start of the Gunners window, with the departure of Aaron Ramsey and reports of a £ 45 million budget leaving fans not optimistic about yet another campaign to forget
But New Head of Football Raul Sanllehi has quickly made himself a cult hero among fans, and has made some brilliant deals over a summer that far exceeded expectations.
The signing by the Lille Forward Nicolas Pepe club for £ 72m excited Arsenal supporters
Negotiating the club's limited finances with cleverly structured deals, Sanllehi secured the highly-valued Nicolas Pepe and William Saliba while securing the loan from Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.
Most Arsenal supporters would have been satisfied with that, but the additions to the deadline of the defensive duo Kieran Tierney and David Luiz have really solidified the mood change on the way to the new campaign. Getting £ 35 million for Alex Iwobi was the icing on the cake.
Romelu Lukaku
The Belgian became the target of many a joke about his second season in Old Trafford and will be happy his disappointing spell ended with a large transfer of money to Inter Milan on the last day.
The striker had a hard time with many United fans and clearly wanted to leave, ignoring the club's demands to return to training in Carrington earlier this week.
His agent has delivered a slightly surprising £ 73 million transfer fee and wages of £ 300,000 a week. He will no doubt smile that his former club has not found a replacement.

Tottenham
You may not all be planned for Spurs, but their deadline day activity can make them look back at a window to be happy with.
The disappointment of missing Paulo Dybala will sting, but the additions of Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso will certainly alleviate the blow.
Add that to the earlier £ 65m purchase from impressive midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and you can count on the men of Mauricio Pochettino to be a force to take this into account eason.

Wolves
A quiet strong window for the Wanderers.
The core of last year's surprise package remained intact with Helder Costa and Ivan Knight the only notable departments, both players falling out of the starting plans of Nuno Espirito Santo.
In turn, they executed the loan from Raul Jiminez and gave the Mexican a striking partner in the form of Patrick Cutrone of AC Milan.
Winger Pedro Neto and midfielder Bruno Jo rdao also come from Lazio for a combined £ 18m, while defending midfielder Leander Dendoncker has received a permanent deal to give the team that finished seventh last season more depth.
Manchester United fans notice that they look nervous over their shoulders.

LOSERS
Wilfried Zaha
It couldn't have been much worse for the Crystal Palace winger.
Chased by Arsenal for much of the window, his hope for a step back to a & # 39; top six & # 39; club camera that crashed when the side of North London turned to Pepe na Palace & # 39; s unwillingness to negotiate.
His hope for a switch came back when Everton came to call, but again Palace refused to play ball with his rating of £ 80 million.
A transfer request last but now with the fans on his back.

Manchester United
Ed Woodward is another public enemy No. 1 in Old Trafford.
The Red Devils may also have talented winger Daniel James recruited defenders Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire but supporters are far from happy.
The £ 80m Maguire allowance raised eyebrows over the football world, while the decision to let Lukaku and Ander Herrera leave without finding the United faith.
Spending £ 180m to make the campaign weaker on both midfield and attack is hardly a great company.
It is no surprise that the hashtag #WoodwardOut was minutes trending after the clock struck at 5 p.m. and a return to glory days seems farther away than ever.

Liverpool
Of course they seem to retain the stars that have won them the Champions League, but big clubs must always keep improving to stay on top.
The Reds spent only £ 1.3 million this summer on 17-year-old Sepp van den Berg.
It is the Premier League title that the club wants this season and they have not brought in anyone who can help end the dominance of Manchester City, who has made two high-profile signings in the form of Rodri and Joao Cancelo.

Chelsea
This summer's window was always difficult for Frank Lampard with Chelsea under a transfer ban.
Talisman Eden Hazard was always destined for Real Madrid and the only addition they could make was to convert the loan from Mateo Kovacic into a permanent deal. But Croatia's midfielder had made little impression on Stamford Bridge last season. rocked the boat to force a £ 7m shock to rivals Arsenal.
It leaves Lampard mid-way through before the start of the season. Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen are his direct options with Antonio Rudiger returning to full fitness after knee surgery – far from ideal when you play four competitions.
