    🚨🚨| Frenkie De Jong's salary next season will be €22M. FC Barcelona have told him to either reduce it by 50% or leave. There is no way he stays, without a reduction. @sport

    Brentford being the top scorers in the Premier League in December, having sold Ivan Toney, is extraordinary.

    Chelsea putting the Instagram handle of a player who has not yet signed for the club into their Instagram bio is one of the oddest things I can recall on social media by a football club?

    Thank you to the Barcelona fans telling me their club is living “rent free” inside my head. I presume lever 4 will trigger their ability to pay the rent.

    The thing is, a lot of (not all) the things Ronaldo identified last season (facilities, poor decisions, things need destroying etc) are now being addressed by Murtough and Ten Hag. The problem for Ronaldo is he was one of the poor decisions but he doesn’t realise it.
