Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter: Does the Premier League put off football’s biggest stars?

Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter: Does the Premier League put off football’s biggest stars?

Author: 11-29 Media September 1, 2026 Duration: 57:10

Tim Vickery and Henry Winter return for Episode 2 of Futebol & Football, with Tim delivering a damning assessment of Neymar’s World Cup role and questioning how Carlo Ancelotti became caught up in the pressure surrounding Brazil’s biggest star.

But first, Tim and Henry tackle the madness of the transfer window and the extraordinary financial power of the Premier League. Has England’s wealth made it the most competitive league in world football, and are even the biggest clubs now being forced to adapt to the physicality of the teams below them?

They also discuss Gabriel Jesus leaving Arsenal for Barcelona, why his 2018 World Cup may have permanently changed him as a goalscorer, Gabriel Martinelli’s Arsenal legacy, Savinho’s stalled development, Manchester City’s move for Palmeiras talent Allan, Juninho’s impact at Middlesbrough and the return of Cole Palmer.

Plus: Chelsea’s frightening new attack, England’s ridiculous collection of No.10s, Brazil under Ancelotti and why England’s upcoming meeting with Spain could tell us plenty about Thomas Tuchel’s side. Futebol & Football with Tim Vickery & Henry Winter is part of FC Camisa, the home of football stories told properly.
