In this episode, we break down the complex striker carousel unfolding between Liverpool, Newcastle, and Eintracht Frankfurt — with Hugo Ekitike at the center.

We explore the chain reaction that could begin with Isak, examine the valuation of Ekitike at €100M, and explain why Eintracht are in no rush to sell. We also dig into Bayern’s latest transfer offers — from Luis Díaz to Nick Woltemade — and ask whether there’s any clear strategy behind their approach under Vincent Kompany.

In this insightful and powerful conversation which kicks off our new The Fussball Coach series, Uwe Rösler joins Jan Åge Fjørtoft to reflect on a remarkable journey through football and life. From his childhood in East Germany’s rigid football system to becoming a Manchester City fan-favorite, overcoming cancer, and building a coaching career across Europe — this episode covers resilience, leadership, and change. The pair share stories from their time at Lillestrøm, discuss football philosophy, and reflect on what it takes to build something impactful in the game.

Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft unpack a dramatic week for Bayern Munich at the Club World Cup. From Jamal Musiala’s serious ankle injury and the reactions of Manuel Neuer and Vincent Kompany, to a deeper look at how Kompany has defined his role as Bayern Head Coach in the middle of chaos. We follow up on Bayern’s transfer strategy, the players they’ve missed out on, and the way media narratives are shaping negotiations, through Jan's "conspiracy theory". We also dissect Dortmund’s 3–2 defeat to Real Madrid, and to what degree we can deem it a success, and reflect on Eintracht Frankfurt’s smart signing of Jonny Burkardt.
