Transfer Analysis

With high-profile transfers being increasingly scrutinised by the football media machine, we wonder why it’s so difficult to properly assess new arrivals to the Premier League without allowing them time to bed in. I mean, remember Dennis Bergkamp’s first season at Arsenal?! Marcus, Vish and Jim get stuck into that. Plus: what should Aston Villa realistically expect from Unai Emery and this team? Who’s had the most fairytale-tinged ending to their career? And, after Neil Warnock parachutes in at Torquay, what other managerial comebacks would we like to see?

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. It’s a huge episode packed with a surprise appearance and breaking news. We kick off with Tuesday night’s Premier League action as Manchester United and Chelsea both drop points against West Ham and Leeds. Then it’s on to Spurs, where the pressure had already been mounting. And then, during filming, the big news drops. Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham. The team react live in the studio, and former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou joins us to give his verdict. What has gone wrong at the club and where do they turn next? Super 6 returns, and the panel revisit last summer’s biggest signings. Who did they back? Who did they doubt? And were they proved right? Roy, of course, has plenty to say. And do not miss it.

Welcome back to the Blue Moon Botcast! 💙 In this episode, we dive straight into Manchester City’s rocky start to the new season. Three games in, two defeats, and a lot of those same old problems from last year are creeping back into Pep Guardiola’s plans. We’ll chat about: ⚽ City’s sluggish start – Spurs and Brighton causing us headaches. ⚽ Injuries piling up again (seriously, are we cursed?!). ⚽ Pep’s “still pre-season” excuse – fair point or just cover-up? ⚽ Why Rodri looked knackered, Foden’s in-and-out role, and new signings still finding their feet. ⚽ Whether £175m in transfers has really fixed anything at all. There’s banter, there’s frustration, and of course, there’s hope (because we’re City fans—we can’t help ourselves). Is it déjà vu all over again, or will Pep and the lads turn it around once the squad’s fit? 👉 Hit play and join the conversation, Blues! Drop your thoughts in the comments: are injuries our biggest problem again, or is there something deeper going wrong? #pepguardiola #mancity #manchestercity #premierleague

Brentford FC manager, Thomas Frank sits down with Christian and soccer presenter and producer, Jack Grimse is here to talk Messi to Inter Miami! We were so lucky to have Thomas Frank stop by the show to speak with Christian ahead of Brentford's participation in the Premier League Summer Series! Jack Grimse also fills in for Alexis to break down Leo Messi's historic transfer to MLS. We analyze what it means for soccer in the United States, debate the sporting merit of the league's assistance in bringing Messi to America, and give Mike Ryan Ruiz his flowers for out-reporting Fabrizio Romano. Plus, we hear about Jack's experience as an American Aston Villa fan, poke fun at David Moyes' dance moves following West Ham's Europa Conference League victory and again ask what's wrong with LA Galaxy?

In the 2020 summer transfer window, Manchester United surpassed £1bn spent on players since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The honours they have to show for it? An FA Cup, a League Cup, and a Europa League. So why hasn’t money spent translated into success? On this Pitch to Post Podcast special, Jasper Taylor is joined by James Cooper, Gerard Brand and Jack Wilkinson to take an in-depth look at Manchester United AD - that’s After Dominance - and dissect their transfer business post Fergie. We go through the managers (06:05), Ed Woodward and the hierarchy (23:06), and ask: do United need a sporting director? We also look to the future, including what the club should do with Paul Pogba (35:52), and Jack and Gerard give their 5-4-3-2-1: five worst, four best, three that got away early, two past legends to rejoin and the one future signing in today's market (48:46).
