    Would any other major club want Cristiano Ronaldo?

    Cristiano Ronaldo, perhaps the most decisive footballer on the planet for the past decade and a half, is starting to become equally as divisive. Clearly, few would be foolish enough to ever write off the Portuguese superstar.

    Is it time for Marcus Rashford to consider his future?

    The career arc of Marcus Rashford is a hugely interesting one. A man of integrity and a leading example of how socially conscious footballers are in the modern age, it almost seems pedantic to criticise the Manchester United forward’s form.

    Is Carlo Ancelotti an elite manager or a beneficiary of fortune?

    Carlo Ancelotti seems set to be the first manager to win all of Europe’s major five leagues. With Real Madrid soaring atop La Liga, the Spanish title looks about ready to enter the Italian’s CV and complete the set.

    Barcelona must emulate Man City, as masters become students

    For so long, Barcelona represented the highest level of European football. Although not much more needs to be written about how their decision to appoint Pep Guardiola as manager in 2008 changed football, it is genuinely hard to think of another example which had close to such a widespread impact across the modern game.

    January the first big test of Tottenham and Conte relationship

    These are early days for Antonio Conte and Tottenham. Still, they might be the most important. In Conte, Tottenham landed perhaps the best available manager in world football. A man to have lifted league titles in both Italy and England, his pedigree is up there with the very best in the game.

    Manchester City may not need a striker, as Guardiola rewrites rule book

    Watching Manchester City dismember Leeds United, as they have done to almost everyone they’ve played this season, it’s tempting to wonder exactly why so many seem so keen for them to sign a big-name central striker.

    Is Origi proving it’s better to be a small fish in a big pond?

    Divock Origi is, rightfully, considered a legend at Liverpool. Aside from Mohamed Salah, there is a very strong argument to suggest the Belgian has had a more profound impact – on an individual basis at least – than the rest of the famed front three built by Jurgen Klopp.

    Barcelona are the only club where managerial DNA matters

    A modern managerial trend is appointing a manger who apparently has the DNA of the club in their veins, are Barcelona the only club where this idea actually makes sense?   One of the major trends across leading clubs in European football in recent years has been the strange obsession with appointing a former player as manager.

    Are we entering a new era of super clubs in football?

    This season more than ever, there has been a breakaway within the breakaway. Luckily, that was not in the form of the European Super League (for now at least) although the upper echelons of the Premier League are starting to resemble that very notion with an elite cabal of super clubs breaking away.

    Forget Zidane, Man Utd must appoint Pochettino

    Serial Champions League winner Zinedine Zidane has been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Man Utd but it is Mauricio Pochettino who they should pull out the stops to recruit.   Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning return to Manchester United over the course of the summer summed up the regime in charge at Old Trafford up better than any decision in recent memory.

    Arsenal and Arteta embracing new start together

    Even if Mikel Arteta is successful beyond his wildest dreams at Arsenal, it’s almost impossible to imagine he will ever have the kind of transformative effect Arsene Wenger had. Still, what’s so refreshing about his young side, finally backed with his kind of signings, is that he absolutely doesn’t have to.
