[ad_1] From the AMEX – A footballer’s career can be short. The egregious money in modern day football aside, you can understand why some players agitate for moves at a seemingly inopportune moment. Brighton aren’t the first club in the game to be dealt an upset star set on doing anything to get their way. We’ve all played Football Manager and promised game time to fringe players, fully well knowing they have no place in your FM vision. It’s a tale as old as time. The south coast side have been flying this season. Ninth place in 2021/22 saw Chelsea come calling for Graham Potter,Read More →

[ad_1] Arsenal are enjoying their best Premier League season in years as they eye up a long-awaited top flight title under Mikel Arteta. While their ferocity and all-action style has attracted admirers, the Gunners have been slapped on the wrist a few times this season for failing to control their players.

[ad_1] Real Madrid have been pitted against their fierce Clasico rivals Barcelona in the final of the Supercopa de Espana on Sunday night. Carlo Ancelotti steered Madrid to a double of the league and Champions League last season. But his squad of fiercely ambitious winners immediately set their sights on snatching all six trophies on offer in 2022/23. “From the moment we began preseason,” Lucas Vazquez revealed in the summer, “it’s been in our heads: ‘Win the UEFA Super Cup, win La Liga, win the Champions League, win the Spanish Super Cup, win the Copa del Rey, win the World Club Cup. Win the lot!’”Read More →

[ad_1] Tottenham manager Antonio Conte appeared to take aim at rivals Arsenal as he criticised players and teams for trying to pressure referees into making decisions. Arsenal have been charged twice this season over their behaviour towards referees, against both Newcastle and Oxford, while Mikel Arteta came into the spotlight for some touchline antics against the former that were, in truth, nothing fans haven’t seen from most top-flight managers before. With the two north London rivals set to butt heads on Sunday, Conte warned his players to control themselves on the pitch with what appeared to be a real dig at Arsenal’s recent conduct.  “YouRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that last season’s quadruple hunt has taken a physical and mental toll on his side. The Reds won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season and wanted to also add Premier League and Champions League glory, only to come up short to Manchester City in the race for the former and fall to Real Madrid in the final of the latter. This season, Liverpool have fallen well short of those lofty heights, sitting 16 points behind current league leaders Arsenal and battling a number of injuries to key players. Klopp has now confessed that the tollRead More →

[ad_1] Turkish side Besiktas have confirmed they received €2.825m in compensation after agreeing to terminate Wout Weghorst’s loan from Burnley.

[ad_1] Aston Villa battled hard to secure a 2-1 win over Leeds in the Premier League on Friday night to go level on points with Chelsea in the table ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches.

[ad_1] Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Netherlands international Wout Weghorst on loan until the end of the season. The tall striker was identified as a short-term solution to United’s lack of depth up front, though the Red Devils had to navigate a transfer triangle of themselves, parent club Burnley and loan side Besiktas. The finer details have been smoothed out and United have now confirmed the deal. “I feel privileged to be joining Manchester United.
