This week on Fried Footie, the mics are hot and the agendas are even hotter. Brad claims Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona isn’t just smart — it’s Ballon d'Or-level. He says Rashford will thrive on the left wing, link beautifully with Pedri and Yamal, and make Barça’s attack unstoppable. Charles and Rodney? They aren’t buying it — not when Raphina already owns that spot and Rashford’s last real form came in flashes at Aston Villa.Then Rodney drops a bombshell: Real Madrid should sell Vinicius Jr. after his $600K/week demand. Is he worth it? Or is it time to move on and build around Mbappé and Jude? Chuck gets excited about Man United’s summer transfers, while Brad bets Ruben Amorim won’t survive until February. And yes — someone compared Mbuemo to Mo Salah. That happened.The crew also breaks down Liverpool's panic move, whether Viktor Gyökeres makes any sense for Arsenal, and why Alexander Isak might be the best true No. 9 in world football right now.Timecodes:0:00 – Welcome back!
