🛠️ Technical Area
Eight new Premier League managers and not one of them is getting a job because they're the best fit—they're getting it because the last guy couldn't hack it anymore.  •  Chicharito to the USL is what happens when a striker's knees finally call time on his career; at least Dallas gets a brand name and he gets a payday.  •  Celtic chasing another forward to partner Hogh is either ambition or panic, and given their recent form it's probably both.  •  The Premier League wants to stop keepers wasting time but won't stop VAR from eating 20 minutes of every match—pick your battles, lads.  •  Arsenal and Liverpool bidding for Barcola is a rumour that dies the moment either club realizes Paris isn't selling their best winger to England.
