News & Such: Barcelona mortgage future & TFC fans await Italian duo debut

Jul 22, 2022

Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest and Jimmy Brennan get you ready for the weekend, reacting to the latest transfer news and random stories that can only be found on Footy Prime. Nottingham Forest's signing of Jesse Lingard has Jimmy over the moon, while Craig couldn't wait to move on to the next topic after Lingard passed on a return to West Ham.

 

Lorenzo Insigne hasn't played a game for Toronto FC, but he will participate in the MLS All-Star Skills competition, which caught the crew by surprise. The crew speculate whether the TFC faithful will be treated to a Italian duo debut on Saturday versus Charlotte FC, with Insigne and Bernardeschi's status both unconfirmed at the time of recording. Everton's loss to Minnesota United gets a few laughs, while producer Dan Wong reveals his distaste for former Toffee Richarlison. Jack Grealish can't handle the theatrics of playing in CONCACAF, Alexandre Lacazette's return to Lyon has been ruined by multiple wasp stings, JC and Roma impersonate rural Ontario hockey players, and a Roma fan used a meet & greet with José Mourinho to propose to his "Special One." 

 

Without a guest, Friday's episode sounded a lot more like a Wednesday show which means there's a high volume of Jimmy laughs, Dunny gets excited by Portuguese names, and producer Dan Wong gets deeply inquisitive with his football questions.
