#AFC | Had never heard of Jakub Kiwior before 10 minutes ago. I since have learnt: - Bids rejected from Dortmund - He’s 6’2 left footed (and sided) CB - He can do this ⬇️

#AFC | ‘Arsene Wenger lost his 1,000th game 6-0 so I'm pretty happy’ - Klopp Bit insane to me that a manager of his ‘class’ consistently looks to drag other managers into his dark cloud of self pity. Very odd behaviour. #LFC

If anyone is thinking the talk around Ainsley Maitland-Niles is odd, look deeper into his agent Aidy Ward who blocked his move from #AFC to Leicester, Newcastle & Southampton with his agents fees. For anyone wondering the makeup of the man 👇🏾

Quick word on Whitworth. He’s young, and his positioning needs work, but he’s gonna be a very good player for Palace. His distribution, composure and attitude to scream encouragement and bark orders at players 10 years his senior is a good sign for the lad. #CPFC

#AFC | This will never not be funny. What on earth was Saka meant to do?!? 😂 Jokes aside, anywhere on the pitch (even at 5 aside) this is a foul. Ask yourself why it would feel harsh as a pen, then question the refs, rules & VAR.

#AFC | Wonder if Arteta still makes a move for Edon Zhegrova as our ‘depth winger’ to give Saka time to breathe. - Valued at £25M. - Wants to move to a bigger club. - Linked with moves to Italy (Roma + Juve) Could be our Trossard signing of 2024.

@nonewthing The better question is, was Rodri at Atletico Madrid better than Declan Rice, no. Playing under Pep has improved him in his areas of weakness. Rice would be a clear standout if he had 3 years at the base of a Pep side.

#AFC | Liverpool bought Jota when they had Mane and Salah. Then they bought Luiz Diaz into the mix. Arsenal making a move for Mudryk AND Joao Felix (Especially on loan) is fine. Top clubs improve & double down when on top. ESPECIALLY when it’s financially feasible.

@BigBearKentlaar They’ve offered us £16M. Can’t see how the England setup is remotely relevant to value. Brentford just paid £30M for an unproven in the PL 23 y/o. £100k is only £1M a year more than Boja. It’s a lot of things but a mile away from a brilliant sale.
