Podcast: Mercato Kickoff

There is a massive sporting event being held in Brazil right now, the biggest sporting event in the world. But starting on Tuesday, the real spectacle begins: The mercato. The transfer market makes teams and breaks hearts, but the sharing of rumors is more of a bloodsport amongst fans. Still we decided to brave the waters with some good old fashioned mercato speculation. We also discussed the future of Italian football and oh, yeah, the World Cup.

A great way to kick off the mercato. Ciao, Traoré.

Returning once again from England for your listening pleasure is David of Twitter and acmilanfinance.com fame. We discussed:

• News of the Week: New Italy coach rumors, Seedorf’s suit, Barbara draws the line
