What do we know about talks for the Bayern Munich forward and where would he fit in to Ange's squad?

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to consider where we go from here after the latest nadir at home to Leicester on Sunday.

Djed Spence and James Maddison are topcis of discussion, as well as supporters' chants against chairman Daniel Levy. 

Marcus and Dan have different perspectives on Postecoglou's position and where the blame lies after Sunday's miserable 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.

Plus, Bentancur banned, Maddison out in the cold and Vicario in the spotlight.
