Mailbag: Who are the most impactful signings in football history?

The transfer window has been prettyyyy quiet – which has got one listener thinking: when was the last time a good old marquee signing really transformed a club's fortunes? 

After 20 years of constant shithousery, how can Pepe possibly be reintegrated back into ordinary society? What will he do?

Which little bald chap did Marcus admire as a kid? And is Positive Pete here to stay? All answered on today's Mailbag!
