    Richarlison

    Soldado might have looked like he was trying hard, but what the fans see isn't always the whole story. I was told the effort he made on match days was not mirrored in his attitude to training.

    Brennan Johnson

    Lots of City fans think he's not going to be good enough for them, and that £40m for an unproven (and apparently quite lazy) player is daylight robbery

    Early indications (Spence, Ndombele) are that Ange is not a big fan of players with acknowledged character 'issues'.

    Transfer fred.

    Agree. But it will receive continuous funding. At least that's what I have heard. Circumstances change etc. but don't be surprised if this is longer lasting than the Chinese experiment.

    I'm not sure sustainability has any relevance in Saudi. They are seeking to buy up all the world's leading sportspeople: they started with golf, with tennis reputedly next, while hoovering up footballers at the same time. Money is literally no object; they can pay for football with the interest...

    Transfer fred.

    I have been told (by a high up at a PL club who have fended off several offers for their players over the last two months) that this summer's activity is very much the opening salvo; the Saudis are using the current signings to legitimise the league before making bids for the big, young stars in...

    Emerson Royal

    I still think Emerson is a stopgap at right back. He's improved (vastly), but he's not a good passer of the ball; he's one footed and plays it too slowly. The gap between him and the best players in that position is pretty big. For this system to work well enough that we can take on and beat the...

    Micky van de Ven

    There is an interesting insight from Tim Spiers in this week's View From the Lane podcast, saying that Spurs had very strong interest in Max Kilman at Wolves - and that the scouting department were recommending him - but that Ange didn't think he was quick enough and preferred Micky. Pace is...

    Transfer fred.

    If ever proof was needed that Alex Ferguson was pretty good at managing football clubs, our failure to refresh a very good team provides it. He continually evolved the team – not just the squad – from a position of strength. We watched an excellent side ossify in front of our eyes.

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    It really feels - again - that this appointment is an absolutely crucial decision, and it's ironic that Levy's attempt to appoint someone else to take control of the recruitment has backfired because he recruited the wrong person. I have been privy, in the past, to some fairly reliable inside...

    Son Heung-Min

    Son's performance against Preston was a case of a player being able to play in a manner that suited him, rather than being shoehorned in to a system that highlights his weaknesses. If I could change one thing about the way we set up it would be to excuse Son from all defensive duties and tell...

    Dele Alli

    I'm pretty sure Dele was at his best before Son became a regular in the side. Lots of his goals were scored when he drifted into the spaces either side of Kane; spaces that haven't existed since Sonny became a regular, which he wasn't for a long period under Poch. I'm not sure there's room for...

    Harry Winks

    Not the most outlandish thing I've read. 1) Pep rated Winks a couple of years back and will undoubtedly think he can fix him 2) I believe he's good mates with Grealish 3) Home grown is a bonus 4) £175m and everyone's happy. Ish. 5) We blow everyone else out of the water with our Haaland bid in...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Why has Neves been in and out of the side so much?

    Next Manager?

    Back on here after a long long absence... exactly a fortnight ago I was told that Poch was unhappy in Paris and was being lined up by Madrid. The source was extremely credible. As Zidane was still in the job I was dubious but it seems like there might have been some substance in it.
