Welcome to the Total Soccero and the Bulletin, our semi-regular news round-up show.

Today, we're looking back at the January transfer window and the deals that happened, and maybe some that didn't.

We have our mid-season predictions for Europe's top five leagues, and we're discussing a big MLS move. Hammers Rodriguez potentially coming to Minnesota. Who to Thunk it? My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. What a world to be alive. I'm very excited. And not just because I'm here with you three fine fellows. What a world to be alive, indeed.

Indeed, Taylor. Who'd have sunk it? We're here. I feel like you're saying that sarcastically, but I am authentic. Hames in Minnesota, can't wait to see him be like, it's this cold for how long? It's going to be great. He'll be pleased. They do play Wonderball there, so that's welcoming to anybody, I'd say. That should make up for it, I'm sure.

Yeah, it should do.

That was probably part of the contract negotiations i'm sure hello joe larry how are you hey i'm great i mean he'll have plenty of time to sing wonderwall right when he's not on the field presumably i don't know maybe not maybe that's how this is going to go down i actually am quite excited not to spill out everything for segment three about this whole thing.

I just don't know if the dude's going to play soccer.

But that's not my problem. That's somebody else's problem. Yeah, it is. We're going to talk about that problem, as you say, in C Block. Before we get there, we're going to say hello to Graham, Rutherland. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Now I am thinking about whether he's going to bring the big bug with him.

I presume he adopted that bug post-2014 World Cup. Like a sort of Jimney Cricket character. It's like his

equivalent of Messi's big dog. Like he's shot the bug. Everybody's got their thing. Wow.

Graham, for people who don't remember an insect reference from 12 years ago, can you explain?

12 years ago? Who are those people? Yeah, 12 years ago is scary. There's not really much to this

story. Hamas Rodriguez playing at 2014 World Cup and it was spotted that he had just a giant insect. And

when I say giant insect, this World Cup was in Brazil. That's maybe some important context there.

Like the biggest insect I've ever seen in my life. We would think it would, if it happened now, we'd think it was AI. It wasn't AI. It was real. And I presume it's moving with him to Minnesota. I thought it was that Jim Hinson made it. It was actually, like there was someone inside it, I'm pretty sure. I think it was on that special I watched last night along with Sabrina Carpenter.

Hammers Rodriguez's big bug.

That was the real guest star. You've lost me on that reference, Graham. What are you watching with Sabrina Carpenter? Oh, come on. The Muppets are back this week. Really? That's a big deal, yeah. And Sabrina Carpenter's the guest star. Oh, fantastic. I do love me some Muppets.

She's about the size of a Muppet, right?

Yes, I think that's why they didn't have to work that out.

You know, right? Yes, I think that's why they didn't have to work that out, you know, film-in-wise. That was nice and easy for them. Very good, very good. The Nicholas Stoller Muppets movie is one one of my favourite movies of all time with the... Is that the Jason Scott one? That is the Jason Sackle one. Is that the one with Evil Kermit?

That's the second one. Is that the Ricketts Jaze one?

Yeah.
