The problem with finance being such a pivotal part of football now is the vast majority of people would struggle to work out an interest rate payment, let alone complex financial systems. Years ago people would have kept quiet, but everyone likes to think they know things now

Put down the 10-second reels for a minute and watch how screwed the big western economies actually are. That line going to 2030 is way bigger than 100% of GDP and probably a conservative estimate

Woltemeade might be the single most overpriced player in history. Joao Felix, Coutinho and Dembele didn't work out but they were clearly huge potential talents. This is €85m for a 23-year-old who scored 12 goals for Stuttgart last season. Bonkers

As reported on today’s The Transfers Podcast, Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer from Manchester United to Napoli has been negotiated as a €5m season loan with a €40m obligation to buy. The obligation is conditional upon Napoli qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Another disgraceful VAR decision. Silva and Fulham done two weeks in a row. There's millions at stake in the hands of these buffoons

It's time to really admit it - football, broadly, has a serious talent problem, and it will kill domestic TV rights more than it has already, which is all any of these teams care about

When I spoke about over-exposure of the Premier League, this is the type of game I mean - this promotes nothing. These games happen in every league, but they mostly pass unnoticed. Now these are front and centre and that ain't good

Amazing how camera phones have created an entire generation of narcs, happily getting involved in other people's business in the pursuit of clout on here

Neville and Co absolutely doing their best to talk around this non-event but secretly everyone is thinking - maybe we shouldn't have let the PE teachers coach the talent out of football

This might be the weekend the EPL jumped the shark. Appalling quality across the board and that's with nearly £3 Billion being spent on this selection of dullards. Football is in an awful place if you merely dare to peer beneath the veil
