Napoli dodged the Norwegian basement clubs and still got Arsenal and City—that's how you know the draw gods are real.  •  England's got five teams in the pot and somehow that feels like both too many and not enough.  •  Sheffield United poaching an Arsenal midfielder is the kind of move that makes you wonder what they offered that actually worked.  •  Liverpool spending £120m on Barcola while Gakpo sweats is peak FSG—upgrade the headline, ignore the wreckage.  •  McGinn admitting he was wrong about Tielemans is fine, but the real question is whether United finally bought a midfielder who can actually pass.
