The only problem is that it is the largest and generally most expensive part of the puzzle. To date, Mikel Arteta has spent around £ 650 million in his five and […]
Looking at Lamine Yamal against Inter Milan this week, nobody should be so good at the age of 17. It's just wrong! My tongue is placed firmly in the cheek, but it is not to be denied that we are looking at the rise of a very special talent. He has already played 100 first

I was lucky to win competition titles as a player and manager at two of the largest clubs of British football in Liverpool and Glasgow Rangers. They are sporting institutions that I had to be part of. It is not only because of their success, but also the passion that the supporters show against those

I can fully understand why all the big boys will look at Morgan Gibbs-White this summer. He is a player I like. He seemed a long time before this season in Nottingham Forest and has already proven that he is a top player from the Premier League. He could have a stinker in Wembley against
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is certainly a beautiful dead ball kicker and that is why, despite being 6ft 2, he is sacrificed for set pieces because otherwise he would be a beautiful air threat in the box with that physique. The best buyer of a set piece I ever saw was the Brazilian Zico. I

There is nothing to do not love Declan Rice, but we have to apply some perspective before we explain it from world class to score two free kicks against Real Madrid. He comes across as a great guy, I like to hear him speak and he talks with great honesty. I am sure he is

I understand the frustration of Liverpool supporters towards Trent Alexander-Arnold about his decision to join Real Madrid, but I don't think they can be too critical.

As people we like aggression. We like to see confrontation. It is a gladiatorical instinct that goes back to the Colosseum of Rome in the first century AD and therefore boxing, MMA and other contact sports are so popular. It's in us. The 'good and bad' is in us. That is why I loved the

Ruben Amorim still has many important decisions to make going forward, and perhaps one of the biggest is whether Bruno Fernandes has a future at Manchester United. Fernandes is by far their most talented player with the ball. He's capable of playing that great ball like anyone else in the Premier League, but the rest
