Football really does feel so unimportant sometimes. Jesus I am so sorry for Diogo’s family. He won’t be forgotten.

Sky Sports also listed Giorgi Marmardashvili as a Liverpool signing in 2024, which is interesting.

They will need a third centre back, and I expect it will be Guehi. And then Nunez, Elliott and probably Robertson also leave, so there will be gaps in the squad. But if this is the type of template Arne Slot is working to build and then build around, it is a very promising one.

With the signings Liverpool have confirmed, it totally changes their options, especially in the attacking game. Frimpong and Kerkez alone give real options both wide and centrally for ball progression, and Wirtz just goes everywhere. Even if there are no further signings (there

I’ll be honest I think I watched a record number of Man United games last season . Europe, league, cups, everything.

Man Utd matches bucked trend in falling TV viewing figures — but were rival fans tuning in to watch them lose?!.

It is a bit mental seeing Liverpool not only enter a super expensive deal for one of the worlds biggest talents but then actually getting it done. Has it happened in the modern age? Maybe Torres?.

Can you imagine the reaction to this deal if it came out of the blue. The 24/7 coverage of transfers has taken something from us.

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz that could set a new British transfer record of £116 million. The fee is split between a £100 million guaranteed payment and then bonuses of up to £16 million. More @TimesSport.

I'm sure there was a time I was calling him 'Arnold' too.

I can’t rule out a Gerrard like U turn from Trent. I just can’t.

I would argue making Brentford an established Premier League team is a tougher task than getting Tottenham back into the top 4-6 consistently. He will have the funding and a Champions League level wage budget. The key factor will be how well his ideas can implemented.

Thomas Frank made his name by getting things organised and having clubs work towards a common goal on and off the pitch. He is a good tactician and has solid ideals about how the game should be played, but his big strength is in his organisation. Levy will need to listen to him.

Thing with Postecoglu is that if he did hold onto his job it would have been purely because of the Europa League win. They were horrible last season, I didn’t see any real indicator the players could do what the manager wanted, and I think I agree with the decision to let him go.

Mbuemo and Cunha are both really good players. But Antony, Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Di Maria, Mkhitaryan, Depay, van de Beek and Sancho were also really good players. The task at Man United isn’t to sign good players. It’s to find out why good players go there and get worse.

Ekitike is a bad example because he isn't really a centre forward and actually represents quite a realistic option. I'll have to backtrack on that one. If Diaz goes, I wouldn't be surprised if he's looked at as a replacement. But not as an advanced CF.

Practically impossible to predict because I think there is a good chance Diaz, Jota and Chiesa won't be at Liverpool next season. We are all comfortable assuming Nunez and Elliott won't be. The scope of system change at the club will depend as much on who leaves as anything else.

I see the vision. 4240. Rotating Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones, (another DM?) in the pivot. Rotate Diaz (someone else?), Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Jota, another AM (🇩🇪?), Salah, Frimpong,(Chiesa 🙏) as wide forwards and pressing false 9s. Technical LB creates 3340 in possession.

I didn't see anything in the way Arne Slot approached the season at Liverpool to say he is interested in using a traditional centre forward. I expect focus will be on wingers, inside forwards and attacking midfielders. The likes of Isak, Sesko, Ekitike etc, I just can't see it.

One alternative is to see football at a level where politics don't dictate quality, and I do regularly, but when you've grown up with the PL and CL, it really doesn't compare. And honestly, most clubs at that level are also trying to find ways to get to where the money is.
