Are footballers just commodities?

Are footballers just commodities?

Crystal Palace were the most active side on transfer deadline day; as they signed Jørgen Strand Larsen, eventually kept Jean-Philippe Mateta, and saw a move for Dwight McNeil collapse... but after McNeil's partner took to social media to criticise the deal's breakdown, which impacted his mental health, are footballers just people in business deals? Spurs captain Cristian Romero has spoken out against the club's board - again - but what does he hope to achieve? Sunderland thrashed Burnley 3-0, but why is one promoted side excelling where another is struggling? And after FIFA president Gianni Infantino's comments that the ban on Russia "has not achieved anything", is it time for sport to open its doors again to Vladimir Putin? Plus, Wasserman’s Global Head of Boxing, Kalle Sauerland, was in the studio, and Celtic's interim manager, Martin O’Neill, discussed his side’s transfer business and current form.
