There was a period of a few hours over the weekend when it looked as though Mikey Johnston might be going to Brazil to teach them how to dribble. Even Robbie Keane’s intervention could not save the move.

We talk about the Club World Cup, where Jurgen Klopp’s direst predictions of injuries came true for Bayern’s best player, Jamal Musiala. Should he even have been playing? And does Gianluigi Donnarumma deserve the criticism he’s been getting from the original sweeper keeper, Manuel Neuer?

 

We also talk about the confirmed and rumoured incomings – and recent outgoings – at Arsenal.
