🧵 There’s an increasing amount of talk around relationism at the moment, which I’m glad to see. But I think the relationship between relationism and positional play is often framed as more binary than it actually is. 👇

Everton closing in on re-signing Jack Grealish. Manchester City have preferred to sell all summer, but Everton now optimistic on a loan after offering to cover 90% of Grealish's wages. As revealed, Grealish decided he wants Everton over other offers.🔵

Spurs bought Gallagher and have kept Bergvall over Sarr. He’s better than both of them.
🚨⚪️⚫️ Juventus have agreed on personal terms with Pape Matar Sarr; he wants the move. Deal now depends on club to club talks with Tottenham, loan with buy clause — Spurs want to include conditional obligation to buy too. Talks underway with #THFC. 🎥➕ youtu.be/OTTaM1EyGOk?si=1no1…

If Danso is leaving, Spurs should test Bayern for Kim Min-Jae

Ezequiel Palacios to Ipswich. This is massive for Ipswich. With the players they’ve already brought in, I really fancy them to stay up if they can keep him and their key players fit. Solid recruitment 👏
🚨 EXCL: Ipswich Town close to agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for Exequiel Palacios. Latest bid €22.5m + €5m. Subject to clubs finalising deal 27yo #Bayer04 midfielder will sign 4y contract & become 1st World Cup winner to represent #ITFC @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7526551…

Oscar Gloukh. If Spurs enter the market for a No.10, he’s one to watch. Elite between the lines, controls attacking sequences and carries genuine goal threat. Injured players will return so profile has to offer something different. Balance is key to squad building.
🚨 Following checks from the medical team, #THFC’s James Maddison could be out FOR A WHILE! 😳❌ It’s a bad injury. 😬 @SecretPrem

That Cherki Foden combo could bear fruit

Foden finding some nice pockets, Nunes outside letting Cherki drift in and combine with Foden

What’s shocking for Spurs is despite all the money spent. Somehow they’ve started the season with Richarlison, Moore, Tel, Bergvall, Gallagher and Gray in the starting 11. Fully fit squad and half of those don’t even get on the bench let alone start.

Spurs need to get Maddison & Fernandes on asap to gain back some control of this match before it’s gone.

Spurs need players in/back asap. Brentford look very well balanced. Damsgaard not starting is good news for Spurs. A draw today is a good result for Tottenham.

Dorgu would be a good fit for Leeds, would combine well with Okafor. United should replace him with Balde.
116
Man United should be all over this. Rashford & Balde left side dynamics would be 🔥 enables Cunha to rotate with Sesko, Rashford & Bruno.

Some very questionable decisions regarding team selection from Carrick. You either play Shaw/Dorgu & Rashford/Cunha left side or Sesko up top to create space for Bruno & provide aerial threat. Frustrating for United fans as they have the players available to win that game.

Better late than never Michael 👍
Maybe Dorgu comes off because of the yellow card. Rashford/ Cunha LW. Sesko on. United need threat from both sides. So predictable atm.

✅ Still need to bring on Sesko for Cunha. Plenty of crosses no aerial threat.

United should go Rashford for Shaw at HT. or bring Sesko/ Zirkzee on and move Cunha to the left.

Minteh to Liverpool properly platforms Isak + Wirtz by adding depth and 1v1 threat on the right. If Gakpo leaves, Barcola would be ideal. Dario Osorio or Fernández-Pardo solid alternatives. Structural fit is key.
🚨🔴 Liverpool and Yankuba Minteh have a broad verbal agreement on contract terms as the player said yes to #LFC project. Brighton rejected £60m bid sent today but talks continue, as @foday_manneh_ reported.
