Newcastle's range of outcomes—6th to 20th—is just a fancy way of saying nobody at St James' Park has a clue what they're building.  •  Man City's 115-charge case dragging into another season is less about complexity and more about the Premier League hoping everyone forgets it exists.  •  Rodri's gone, so City are shopping in Serie A like a side panicking in September instead of the defending champions they are.  •  Newcastle need midfield help so badly they're chasing players other clubs rejected, which tells you everything about how they've spent their summer.  •  Arsenal won the league and immediately made sure the book deal was done before anyone could ask uncomfortable questions about next season.

  2. Frank Lampard staying at Coventry is the smart play—Doug King’s throwing real money at this, and the project’s worth believing in. Daily Mail +6 →
  3. Liverpool can’t decide between two PSG wingers so they’ll probably end up signing neither and playing Mohamed Salah at left-back by October. SportsMole Football +6 →
  4. Haji Wright’s 12-week absence is brutal timing for Coventry, but at least they’ll find out quickly whether their Premier League promotion was real or a mirage. ESPN FC +6 →
  5. Pep’s postmatch talks are therapy for people who think football needs more philosophical rambling. Bayer Leverkusen (Google News) +6 →
