Arsenal won't finish in the top four.

When Sterling outscores Grealish and Foden next season, how will you explain it away?

Foden and Stones were not taken for failing to meet the USA's entry requirements. It'll probably be the jab issue, but they've refused to confirm it.

Believe me I understand the inclination to dislike Sterling, but people have to be rational about this. He produces numbers where others don't. Scoring a load of tap-ins is a managers dream. You can't just pin all this on the service at City, or he wouldn't have been so important for Liverpool...

He had one year left on his contract and was offered a new deal. He wanted to leave, so they could either cash in as best they could or lose him for peanuts later. Besides, Chelsea finished 19 points behind City last season, they're about as much a threat to them as Spurs are.

Downgrade for City. He's better than Grealish and (for the moment at least) Foden too.

They did offer him an extension but he was adamant he wanted to be a starter, so they decided to cash in.

I see this narrative repeated a lot, but if it were true then City's other wide players would have similar or superior numbers - but they almost never do. If City just create clear-cut chances for fun then that makes Grealish an an even worse performer. Besides, this isn't just a City thing, the...

I'm thinking 4-2-3-1. It could be that actually Phillips will get a lot of game time. Would explain why they're content to let Bernado Silver go also.

I have no problem with Qatar doing this. It's FIFA that are the disgrace, and it should be as obvious as possible.

Yeah but then what? He's never produced the numbers so far.

I don't see Raphinha getting in their team.

Sky are reporting that Barca want Maguire as part of the deal.

I doubt it. He'll be a squad player to replace Fernandinho.

It's an interesting move. Maybe they anticipate they'll be doing more defending on the counter with Haaland in the team.

That's interesting. Maybe he's anticipating that Haaland will have some teething problems, which I expect to happen. His link-up play is Lukaku-tier at present.

I would say England probably had the better of the chances, despite Germany dominating the ball. I think and expect there will be a change in manager after the World Cup. I just hope it's Howe or Potter and not Lampard.

Where does this idea come from? He's a limited coach for sure, but he doesn't operate like the people who preceded him. He doesn't just pick names or the flavour of the month.

He won't be sacked.

I think they've only used current players.
