0:00.0	Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNSC. I'm Tomas Choi by Shackahe Sopin.
0:08.3	Stevie Niko will start with a news. Jeff Kala, breaking the fact that Christian
0:12.4	Policic has agreed terms with AC Milan. It's all down now for the two clubs to
0:18.0	agree a transfer fee for the US international. A lot of speculation about his
0:22.7	future. For more on this, what a double out this is. Juliana Laurent and Gamar
0:27.2	Coddy. What a weekend treat for us all. Gam how difficult is it going to be to

1:30.6	Gab because we've got to discuss if he does go there. Does he start? This is a
1:34.9	whole show pretty much. So we can't say he's not going because he's going to go
