Summary
It’s transfer time, baby. On this episode, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe discuss some of the latest moves in the summer transfer window. First, of course, is a chat about Lionel Messi’s departure from Barcelona and his reported move to PSG. How did this happen? What does it mean for Barcelona and La Liga? And now how much pressure is on PSG to win the Champions League?
After discussion of that Messi situation, it’s on to analysis of Jack Grealish’s fit at Manchester City, Romelu Lukaku’s reported move to Chelsea, a handful of other Premier League deals, and some love for Marseille’s summer business.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show America's favourite podcast about soccer that's called The Total Soccer Show. |

| 0:35.2 | Who is that gang you ask? |
| 0:36.6 | Well, we have a man who's fully registered to |
| 0:38.4 | the Total Soccer Show squad, so no tierfield press conferences will be necessary for Taylor Rockwell. |
| 0:44.0 | Let's hope not. I would like to avoid any tier filled press conferences for as long as humanly |
| 0:48.3 | possible. Certainly none of those today, at least for me, we'll see how it goes for Joe and Ryan |
| 0:52.0 | and Graham. Yeah, we've got time. We've certainly got time, but we'll get into what that was referring to very shortly. Right after we've introduced a man who has a loan option to buy his way into our podcasting affections, Joe Lowry. Oh, that's so sweet. Okay, I'm not even kidding. So Jordan, Angel, and I just recorded MLS assist before this. |
| 1:08.0 | And I led the show with a loan option to buy joke because we were on TSS so much during the Olympics. Ryan, you're stealing my material and I can't have it. I know, Joe.

| 1:45.2 | you're not going to get tears out of me on this podcast. So if it's not too personal, Greg, |
| 1:51.4 | what would bring you to tears? What would it be? What a life event? I did have a little sob when |
