First up, we talk about Christian Pulisic's future. Will he end up in the premier league, and more spefically at Chelsea? Just how high is his ceiling? Will this be a big marketing coup for whoever gets him? Next, 1 we talk about Sandro Tonali. Pirlo 2.0, the next Pirlo-lots of great comparisons have been made, and the pressure surely has to be on the 18 year old Italian. How good is he? Is the comparison due to his playing style, or his look? After that, we zoom out a bit to talk about the potential of a European Super League. It's certainly been greeted with much controversy........hear what the guys and Alex have to say about this one! Last but not least, we talk about Alex's favourite player as he profiles the one and only Mason Mount. The Chelsea youngster who's on loan at Frank Lampard's Derby County is making waves in the Championship. How good is he? Is the hype justified? Is it different this time around with a Chelsea youngster? All this and more on today's State of Play! Follow us on twitter! Music by Joakim Karud See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, we begin by talking about the corruption in football after PSG & Manchester City owners in Qatar & Abu Dhabi were accused of taking on sponsorship money above the allowed amount. How is this still happening? What should the punishment be? After that, we discuss none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Will he be returning to Europe, and more specifically Milan? Next, we discuss the Love of Matt's life- Lucas Torreira. The 5ft5 Uruguayan put a MOTM perfomance in for Arsenal versus Liverpool in their 1-1 draw, and found plaudits everywhere. After that, we discussed 5 players and how they have settled at their new clubs this season: Jorginho Fred Fabian Ruiz Paco Alcacer Jao Cancelo Next up, a player profile all centred around Cengiz Under. The Turkish whizz has been linked to Chelsea, Tottenham & Barcelona so what's all the fuss about? All this and more on today's State of Play! Follow us on twitter! Music by Joakim Karud See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we talk about the international break just gone. Is the UEFA nations league working? Is the use of youngsters in these competitions harming the competitiveness of the competiton? Next, we speak all about Miguel Almiron who's really making some waves in the MLS and has drawn interest from Arsenal! Matt tells us all about him....Speaking of Arsenal, Petrit spoke to Oli Price-Bates, a blogger and content creator who specialises on Arsenal football club. We spoke all about the man of the moment, Reiss Nelson! Over to Spain, we speak about Julien Loputegui's struggles and whether or not Madrid will be parting ways with the manager. Is it totally his fault, or have the board failed him with the signings over the summer? Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of State of Play if Matt didn't get a word in about Serie A. We discuss the rise of Caclio, and what has breathed excitement back into the league! Follow us on twitter! Music by Joakim Karud See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we discuss Ivan Gazidis, current Arsenal CEO leaving british shores to join AC Milan. What has sparked this move? What's the arsenal reaction to this? Sticking to the premier league, Eden Hazard is on FIRE. The man cannot stop scoring, and he's on current form probably the best player in the world. What does the future hold for him however? Will he stay in London or is a move to Real Madrid beckoning? With a contract up until 2019, this transfer saga has only just gotten started! Next up, we talk about 3 managers in trouble, at 3 of the biggest clubs in the world: Julen Lopetegui of Real Madrid, who have no wins in 4 games now and are struggling to score. Niko Kovač of Bayern Munich, who has had quabbles with players (specifically James Rodriguez) and has been criticised for not finding a football identity. José Mourinho of Manchester United.....this one needs no explanation! Last but not least, we profile Krzysztof Piątek, europe's top scorer with with the help of former USA player and current ESPN commentator Janusz Michallik! It's super good! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we talk about Brazil's encounter with USA. Who was Matt impressed with as the American on the podcast? Why was Yedlin the poster boy? Why were there ONLY 20,000 fans there? And how good was Matt Miazga? Next up, we talk about Italy, Poland and Wales- who impressed out of these nations? What do the Azzurri have to do to eclipse their former greatness? How good could Ethan Ampadu become? After that, we discuss Santi Cazorla and his route back from injury....if you haven't already read Sid Lowe's article on him......just go and do it, sensational stuff. Now, the next story I've ever only heard about on Fifa/Football manager....but Bordeaux forgot to register a player for their Europa League squad....yes it's as ridiculous as it sounds! Finally, Colombian football expert Simon Edwards joins us to talk about Cucho Hernandez! Follow us on twitter! Music by Joakim Karud See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we talk about the current state of Manchester United under Glazer ownership, with Mourinho at the helm. Will he be United manager come the end of the season? How are the glazer owned US franchise Bucaneers doing? Next up, we spend a bit of time talking about the supposed deal La Liga have struck with a US media company. Reports flooded in that La Liga had agreed a 15 year deal which would see at least one La Liga game a year played in the US. The response? Generally, outrage. In fact many players/managers in Spain have reportedly been considering a strike as they, nor the clubs were alerted at the potential deal. Should US companies be looking at the growing MLS market instead? If you liked this- why not subscribe? And if you loved it and have already subscribed...why not leave a review?

First up we talk about Stan Kroenke, the big story in football is that he's buying out Alisher Usmanov to take total control of Arsenal Football Club. What are the implications for Arsenal and the fans? This will add AFC to the Kroenke family portfolio which already boasts the NFL side Los Angeles Rams, NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NHL outfit Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids. Matt talks us through the Rapids and the Rams, but we also got help from Billy Marshall in dissecting the Kroenke effect at the Denver nuggets! Next up we whizz through transfer deadline day in the UK, with only Chelsea making any additions in the last week of the window- Matt in particular was impressed by the moves that smaller teams made throughout the transfer window. Wolves and Fulham in particular, signed players of high prestige and we discussed why this trend suddenly appeared. Across the atlantic, Matt runs us through Josh Perez's move to LAFC. Does this signal a change in the MLS mindset? Will we see less older designated players such as Zlatan and Rooney in the future? Finally, we have our usual player profile but this one was a bit special....we were joined by Justin Sherman to dissect Kepa Arizabalaga, the new Chelsea goalkeeper. He gave us some excellent insights! If you liked this- why not subscribe? And if you loved it and have already subscribed...why not leave a review?

First up, we actually talk about what the State of Play Pod is going to be about! Then, we get into the content. How have Bari, Reggiana and Cesena all declared bankruptcy? What has lead to the tragic demise of these three clubs? As Matt quite rightly says on this episode "No fan should have to see their team go through this". They're not the only italian team in some trouble...indeed the club closest to Matt's heart Milan had some difficulties with their Europa League status...Matt tries hard to hold back the tears as he runs us through this one! Onto the transfer sagas, we talk Higuain, Caldara and Bonucci. Who's going where?! Is Higuain going to Chelsea or Milan? It seems he's on his way to Milan but it's defintely been (bar Ronaldo!!) the story of the summer so far. Next, we talk about Anthony Martial. The talented 22 year old Frenchman has a clearly rocky relationship with Jose Mourinho, so who's going to be out the door? Do Manchester United succumb to Mou's demands and give him the money he needs to bolster his squad? Or do they place their faith in Anthony Martial...? If he does move on, where would he most likely go? Moving over the atlantic, we talked about the talented Canadian international Alphonso Davies. Fresh off scoring 2 goals in a 4-2 victory for the Vancouver Whitecaps, he was actually celebrating a record MLS move to Bayern Munich....he's only 17, and already looks head and shoulders above a lot of his domestic colleagues. Bayern have got themselves a real gem. Last but by no means least, we had a great player profile as Matt took the lead in talking all about Moise Kean. Although the Italy u19's succumbed to defeat in the World Cup Final, he was instrumental in getting his team back into preceedings with a double off the bench! Where could he play his football this season? What's his ceiling? If you liked this- why not subscribe? And if you loved it and have already subscribed...why not leave a review?
