Headlines: Gerrard extends Al Ettifaq contract | Crépeau moves to LAFC | Man City sign Mexican prospect Alcalá | Becker heads to Real Sociedad (Soccer 01/18)

The MF crew go over all the headlines from around world soccer including LAFC signing Canadian goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau, Man City bringing in the "Mexican Messi" 18 year old Alex Alcalá, and Real Sociedad completing a move for Union Berlin's Sheraldo Becker. And finally, the team look at Steven Gerrard's contract extension as manager of Al Ettifaq despite not winning a match over the last eight games. Susannah believes with Henderson leaving, maybe more money was offered to Gerrard to make the player defects not look so bad.
