Episode Notes

Laura, Jonny and Jim are back early this week to react to the already head-spinning number of stories since Monday. Chief among those: is Bruno Guimarães heading to Arsenal? If he is, then how much is too much...

Elsewhere, we discuss that desperately-needed left-wing star. Is Bradley Barcola simply the new Julian Draxler? Plus, Jonny makes an impassioned defence of Ethan Nwaneri. Come join us!
