I remember Lucas Digne breaking into the Lille squad and looking a real prospect. He would also shine for the French Under-20 side alongside Samuel Umtiti, Alphonse Areola, Florian Thauvin and Paul Poga as the young Les Bleus side won the Under-20 World Cup. Yet unlike those compatriots, Digne wasn’t in Russia winning the World […]

Listen no one likes a moan quite like Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. Yet his gripes this summer seem to be very raw and the Portuguese boss looks to be reaching breaking point at Old Trafford before a ball has even been kicked in anger. Mourinho has been constantly sniping at his own players, his […]

Recent reports suggest that West Ham United have a strong interest in Celtic’s French midfielder Olivier Ntcham. A Hammers enquiry was supposedly given short shrift from the Scottish Premiership champions. It’s easy to see why teams would be interested in the classy middle-man as he’s very good on the ball, has a keen eye for […]

Rangers have been linked with re-signing former forward Kyle Lafferty. The Northern Ireland international impressed in his debut season at Hearts last term and showed that he can still handle the rigours of the Scottish Premiership.

There were more than a few eyebrows raised when it was announced that Rangers had re-signed former number one goalkeeper Allan McGregor. It’s true that the goalie was a hero at the club during his first stint at the club but last term was probably Wes Foderingham’s finest season as the Gers first choice shot-stopper. […]

For those that criticised France international Olivier Giroud during this summer’s World Cup, I’m pretty sure he got the last laugh when he picked up his winner’s medal in Moscow. In fairness, I think the experienced French striker had a fine tournament. I know he didn’t score but there’s more to Giroud’s game than just getting […]

I seem to say this during every transfer window but once again Celtic and Brendan Rodgers need to strengthen their defensive options. The Scottish Premiership champions have already begun their season, comfortably beating Armenian side Alashkert 6-0 over two legs in the Champions League qualifying first round. While it’s pretty ridiculous that Celtic (who have […]

Everton are on the verge of competing a megabucks deal to sign Brazilian Richarlison from fellow Premier League side Watford. Reports suggest that The Toffees will pay around £50m for the forward, meaning that they’ll break their transfer record for a second summer in a row. The twenty-one year old joined The Hornets twelve months […]

It’s fair to say that West Ham United fans didn’t really enjoy the 2017-18 season. The team looked disjointed and stale under former boss Slaven Bilic, while the Croat’s replacement David Moyes steered The Hammers away from relegation his style was often criticised. The whole club was in a slump as the support moaned about the owners […]

At this summer’s World Cup, Paul Pogba proved that he could be disciplined, play for the team and shine when it really mattered. These were failings that people would continually attack the player with last season at Manchester United. He’ll return to Old Trafford, after an extended break, as a World Cup winner and now […]
