I'd love to be more excited about Serie A's title race this season... But Inter losing their world class manager, whilst Napoli add KDB, Beukema, Lang and now Milinkovic-Savic, whilst keeping Conte... Makes it feel very predictable, even with Conte's UCL troubles thrown in!

Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, Xavi Simons, Jorrel Hato... Yes they are young players, but these aren't random punts, they are some of the most exciting talents in Europe, with experience in major Leagues. Chelsea are not messing around this summer. But I STILL don't

Dávid Hancko is such a good signing for Atletico Madrid. One of the best passers in the Eredivisie, I really thought he was perfect for a move to the Premier League. Hancko, Cardoso, Ruggeri, Baena… I really like Atleti’s business!

Enzo Millot, a former France U21 captain, is being linked with Atletico Madrid for just €20m. I suggested Atleti signed Angelo Stiller on my YouTube channel last week, but if you're looking for a more box to box presence to replace De Paul, Millot is a superb addition. He's

👀 Timing is strange... he should have done this a month ago. Chelsea could sell a hotel?! But other than that I can't see another Premier League club being able to afford him. Real Madrid?! But they surely didn't plan for this in 2025 with Vini and Mbappe still there!

Obviously I do not have access to Liverpool's finances... 1) But allow Luis Diaz to go to Bayern... 2) Don't sign Rodrygo and back Gakpo and Wirtz as your left wing options... disastrous 😉 (Ekitike could hypothetically play there too) 3) And use Diaz' fee to sign Isak. 4)

We could end up with a scenario where Benjamin Sesko, Xavi Simons, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Granit Xhaka, Hugo Ekitike and Jamie Gittens... All leave the Bundesliga for the Premier League in the same summer... Have Bayern ever had an easier run at a Bundesliga title!

James Trafford understandably chooses Man City over Newcastle, Ederson is reportedly staying... After getting rejected for Bulka and Petrovic, I am just about ready to get hurt again... Sunderland... bring me Stefan Ortega!
