Andoni Iraola was right to leave Federico Chiesa out of Liverpool’s 25-man Champions League squad. In 2026, Chiesa is simply surplus to requirements the competition ahead of him is stronger, and his profile no longer fits the team’s direction. It may seem harsh, but football decisions must be based on current value, not reputation.

Arsenal made several intelligent additions, but in a window where they lost both Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, signing a star attacker should have been a priority. The current squad may carry them until January, but failing to replace that attacking quality prevents this from being a perfect window.
Ipswich will test Liverpool’s defensive structure, but Iraola’s men desperately need their first league win. Full tactical preview ahead of Friday’s clash at Portman Road.
Enzo Fernández is not just another expensive Manchester City signing he could become the controller of Enzo Maresca’s midfield.
His passing range, press resistance and ability to dictate the tempo will improve City’s build-up while allowing Cherki and Foden to operate closer to Haaland. Pair him with Elliot Anderson’s athleticism, and City may have constructed one of Europe’s most complete midfield partnerships.

Barcelona and Real Madrid approached the transfer window with two completely different strategies. One prioritised immediate tactical balance, while the other invested in quality, versatility and long-term potential. Both clubs strengthened but one had a better transfer window
Football has a cruel way of treating certain players.
After 14 years at Real Betis, Pablo García was sold to Racing Santander as the club desperately tried to comply with LaLiga’s strict financial rules and register Dani Ceballos. For Betis, it was financial necessity. For García, it was a heartbreaking end to a lifelong journey. 💔
Manchester City have completed one of the most ruthless rebuilds in European football. Enzo Fernández, Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Iliman Ndiaye provide control, intensity, creativity and versatility.
The fees were enormous, but City identified what the squad lacked and acted decisively. Transfer-window rating: 9/10.
