🛠️ 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.

  1. Selling Rodri would be the panic move of a club that’s forgotten how to win—City aren’t panicking yet, but if they do, everyone knows it. BBC Sport Football +7 →
  2. Chelsea chasing another winger while their midfield remains a democracy of mediocrity is the kind of sideways thinking that keeps them sideways. CaughtOffside +7 →
  3. Infantino walks free because the IOC decided investigating FIFA’s president breaching neutrality rules was too much bureaucratic effort—corruption has a dress code. ESPN FC +7 →
  4. Tzolis is quick and direct, which is exactly what Arsenal need, assuming they remember that pace without purpose is just expensive running. Arseblog (Arsenal) +7 →
  5. For forty-two million, Arsenal will find someone half as good as Guimaraes and convince themselves it was a bargain. Football FanCast +7 →
