Another day, another goalkeeper that Manchester United want to sign. After David De Gea, it was André Onana, then Altay Bayındır but not for long it seems. Senne Lammens could be on his way to Old Trafford - will he destroy the poison chalice or fall victim to the curse of his predecessors?Dotun, Andy and JJ discuss that - plus - how have both major Scottish teams failed so miserably in Europe before even qualifying? Could we see a more competitive Eredivisie this season?

Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa have their heels well and truly dug into the ground, refusing to play for their clubs until they get a move away. But is it fair that it's now the players who hold the cards when it comes to deciding their futures, rather than the clubs who own their contract?Marcus, Luke & Vish are here to share their thoughts on that.

After a melee at Marseille on the opening weekend of the season, we've followed it up with a disagreement at Dortmund! Mark Bellingham (father of Jobe and Jude) got in a spat with BVB Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl. And things weren't much better on the pitch, so where do Dortmund go from here?Dotun, Andy & JJ are here to explain all of that. Plus, PSG have started with two wins on the board, but their performances have looked far from convincing. With the rest of Ligue 1 smelling blood, how can Luis Enrique get the Parisians back on track?

Greetings, all! Where to start this week? Well, Pete celebrated Stak moving offices to central London by heading straight to Harley Street and having a fatty lump cut out of his back. It had to be done - it was stopping him sleeping properly. After that he tells Luke all about two ferrets he met on a walk this week, and although their owners didn't let him put them down his trousers, he was allowed to hold one of them briefly.
