About this episode

With the transfer window shut Marcus, Jim and Andy dream up some transfers from football history they wish they could’ve forced through. Jim’s packing Carlos Tevez off to distant lands and guess where Andy’s sending Gabriel Batistuta and Ronaldo…


We also try to decide what’s the toughest job in football - whether that’s managing this current iteration of Manchester United, the Brazilian national team or a relegation-threatened side further down the leagues. Plus, we reinvent Sunday League for the masses and we compare football clubs to pop acts from down the years.
