There’s no doubting Kevin De Bruyne is an amazingly talented player. But so far in his Manchester City career he hasn’t had that sensational year that separates him from the rest and has him winning major club and individual honours. That could all change this season as long at the Belgian maestro manages to stay […]

In the last few months, there has been much talk about the upcoming transfers with many of them sparkling waves of confusion. For example, Romelu Lukaku’s transfer from Everton to Manchester United wasn’t totally unexpected. We know how good Lukaku is, and his record last season was better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s. His signing probably means a […]

It’s hard to predict anything about Rangers at the moment. No one would’ve predicted that the Ibrox club would get knocked out of the Europa League by a part-time side from Luxembourg. Alas that’s exactly what happened but Rangers then hastily set up three preseason fixtures and they gave a good account of themselves against Marseille, […]

  In all honesty I don’t think Real Madrid really wanted to pursue AS Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe’s signature this summer. They’d have been happy to leave the young Frenchman alone and spend another year in the south coast of France. But the increasing unpredictability that has surrounded this transfer window along with the strong […]

For as long as I can remember I’ve been warning Celtic that they need to try and bring in more players earlier in the summer transfer window. A few months ago Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers stated that the Hoops were willing to break their £6m transfer record if the right calibre of player was available. […]

Jose Mourinho wanted at least four new faces to join Manchester United earlier this summer. This month the United boss stated he would now be happy with three signings considering the volatile transfer window. The signings of Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof mean that the Old Trafford club have already purchased at least two of their […]

Manchester United’s capture of Romelu Lukaku and Chelsea’s addition of Alvaro Morata will, without a doubt, be two of the most significant moves of the summer transfer window. Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are attempting to defend their crown, while United will be in search of their first Premier League title under Jose Mourinho. The two strikers […]

  Unfortunately things don’t seem to have worked out for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere in recent years. He has failed to reach the potential his early career performances seemed to promise. As a teenager he broke into the Gunners team and he also managed to receive regular call-ups for the England senior side. Arsene Wenger […]

It’s fair to say that Martyn Waghorn didn’t have the best of times with Rangers last term. If he wasn’t being mugged off by a school kid, then he was missing a guilt edged chance against Celtic. What he wasn’t able to do was stick the ball into the net enough times to be seen […]

Twenty years ago today Celtic signed one Henrik Larsson from Feyenoord for just £650,000. I had remembered the dreadlocked forward from the 1994 World Cup and he had impressed in what was a very talented Swedish side. But by 1996 he had kind of fallen off my radar until Celtic’s new gaffer Wim Jansen had […]
