Episode 1518: Pricing Harry And Koulibaly, AFCON Final, Neymar Wins Friends And Influences People, Roy’s Bespoke Insults
It was a sunny Sunday when for once football was pushed into the shadows – but nobody keeps this baby in the corner for long.
La Liga clubs have been the most active in the summer transfer market so far. Has there been an outbreak of caution in the Premier League or is everyone just waiting until the last minute to lose their minds?
We discuss Manchester United’s reported interest in Harry Maguire. Is £80 million for England’s World Cup hero solid business, or one of the most insane examples of transfer mania yet recorded?
We join Oluwashina Okeleji in Cairo to talk about the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. What has happened to Nigeria’s 90s flair? How does Kalidou Koulibaly compare to some other highly-valued centre-backs? And why are the Egyptians supporting Algeria?
I’m a little baffled as to what’s going on. The Egyptian fans had seemed to be supporting Algeria but now there’s clashes at the fence between what appears to be an Egyptian and an Algerian section.
