Jimbo’s back with the first Totally Football Show of the new season in the company of Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Adam Crafton. One of the biggest transfers in football history is about to take place. Lionel Messi says bye-bye to Barcelona and is set to move to PSG. Jubilant Julien Laurens joins us as we discuss if this is a good thing for Ligue 1. And what does it mean for Mbappe? Jack Grealish joins Man City for £100million but he alone can’t stop Leicester from winning the Community Shield. Is Grealish a problem solver for Pep or will he prove to be City’s Veron? We ask who is best equipped to challenge City for the title this season. Chelsea with Lukaku? Liverpool with Van Dijk? United with Solskjaer under scrutiny?
