Today, Arsenal confirmed a record deal to bring in attacker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund. That adds to the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who arrived in a swap deal from Manchester United with Alexis Sanchez going in the opposite direction. When I say the recent Gunners transfer dealings have me confused, I do’t necessarily mean […]

Now let me start off by apologising for the clickbait headline, the truth is I’m not a huge fan of comparing players and many will no doubt leave this article unfulfilled by my conclusion.

I wasn’t overly surprised that Liverpool managed to be the first team to beat Manchester City in the Premier League this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side have a fast, flowing game that can unsettle any side, it’s worked in the past against other teams in the top six. The main thing that pleased me with the Reds […]
