This week’s episode is packed with Premier League drama, MLS surprises, and transfer buzz. We kick things off with St. Louis City’s impressive 1-2 performance against Aston Villa. It may have been a friendly, but the effort was real—first-season energy, solid play, and a glimpse of what this team could be. Great performance against a premier league side! But wait… is Roman Bürki heading to LA? Rumors are swirling, and we’re diving in.

Then, heartbreak hits as Son Heung-min leaves Spurs for LA. Andy’s crushed, but let’s be honest—LA is a perfect fit, and we’re excited to see what Son brings to the States.

With the Premier League just three weeks away, we go through the dream signings every club is chasing before the window slams shut. Who’s getting their guy, and who’s panicking?

Let's Banter!

It’s a week of big moves—on and off the pitch. The boys kick things off with some personal W’s (💍 shoutout to Hoov!) before diving headfirst into the chaos of the summer transfer window.

From Liverpool’s calculated chess game to Chelsea’s full-blown identity crisis, we break down who’s building, who’s bluffing, and who might’ve just panicked. There’s love, laughter, and a lot of “how much did they pay for him?!”

🔍 Expect hot takes, tactical gems, and brutally honest assessments of your favorite clubs (yes, even United). We also hit on St. Louis City updates, fan Q&A, and the eternal question: keep or sell?

Clubs covered: Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal — with a sprinkle of local flavor from STL.
