If the left-wing options are limited to Williams, Barcola, Nusa or Ndiaye, then at the prices quoted, I wouldn't bother. Don't know enough about Yildiz to comment, but I'd be tempted to keep the powder dry for someone genuinely better than Martinelli.

Don't see Zubimendi or MLS being moved on this summer. Sure, Bruno adds quality and will likely be 'first choice'. However, no sense in bemoaning having to run your best players into the ground and then removing any depth from that area of the pitch.

Lovely to see Bernardo reliably coming off the bench straight into a yellow card, followed by a serving of piping hot justice for the USMNT.

Think people need to chill about AFC not signing Jeremy Monga. He could well go on to have a great career but he wasn't going to be in the first team for at least a couple of seasons. The club didn't want to go to £10m so clearly didn't think they were looking at another Yamal or Dowman.

In his debut season, Zubimendi led Arsenal in line-breaking passes, topped Gradient's midfield rankings for duels + aerials, played all 38, had 9 G+A (all comps), and shared the everywhere-pivot role for the league champions and best defensive team in the world. Recency bias is a helluva drug.

Brendan Aaronson suddenly looking like a PL player over the past week or so!

funny week of football television viewing. I have the usual tv subscriptions. Quite fancied some women's CL but not enough to subscribe to Disney+, sorry. Quite fancied some men's WC qualifiers but not enough to *pay-per-view* on Amazon Prime, sorry. How many different things should we need?!

@askpaddypower.bsky.social What's the issue with the Android app? No markets available for any of the PL matches...

@arseblog.com Enjoyed the pod from this morning but flabbergasted by the question on Nwaneri that compared him to Yamal but walked past the issues Pedro and Gavi have had!
