Dan Thomas

Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC.

I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and Shaka Hyslop.

We also welcome to the show Frank Leboeuf, joins us as does Mark Ogden.

Now a lot of money.

Shall we see Mark and Frank?

There they are.

Lovely.

Well, maybe you'd prefer not to.

A lot of money was spent in the summer on strikers from big Premier League sides, and they haven't exactly, most of them, set the world alight.

Izak, of course, the most expensive of them all, £145 million.

We asked the boys to give us a grade for Izak so far in his Liverpool career, and as you can imagine, it isn't very generous at all.

A D- is the average.

Xhaka and Oghi, not impressed at all with an F. Craig, a little more generous with a D-, Burley.

You're feeling generous these days.

Well, hold on, Shaq, I gave an F. Yeah, exactly.

You gave an F. Is there not an argument to say that he's just not getting the supply, that because he's joined this team that's pretty much in free fall, he isn't getting the chances that he deserves?

sticking with Newcastle, angry at the way that he treated your old club, Shaq?

What's wrong with you?

It's an E or nothing.

Nice segue then to Ekitike.
