Welcome, one and all, to On The Continent—it’s a pleasure to have you with us. We begin with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, whose scrap over the Antoine Griezmann transfer continues. There has also been a chock-load of transfer activity in Turin and James talks us through the reasons behind Juventus’ effective transfer strategy. He also sings the praises of Aaron Ramsey, after his impressive Italian press conference.

Over in Munich, Andy explains why Bayern fans might be feeling a little frustrated going into the new season as arrivals there remain sparse. We also find time to squeeze in some chat about Andy’s recent jaunt in Scandinavia and the start of the Russian Premier League!
