Tottenham decided to finally bring in some talented attacking players to help Ange Postecoglou navigate a world without Harry Kane, starting with the additions of Manor Solomon and talented Leicester City attacking midfielder James Maddison in the summer 2023 transfer window. In that same window, they made an even bigger splash for the future, signing former Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson, capable of scoring goals from either side of the formation, for nearly 50 million pounds. Those moves look to be paying dividends for Tottenham, who eventually did purchase an out-and-out No. 9 to directly replace Harry Kane in the summer 2024 window, signing Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke after a career year. While Solanke's 65 million pound fee certainly raised eyebrows, the 27-year-o...

Chelsea don't need to be desperate for center back help, but since they are climbing back into Champions League contention in an increasingly competitive Premier League with designs on competing for the actual title by next season, it would make sense to shore up any conceivable weaknesses in the squad. The onus has been on the striker position for a while, but with Nicolas Jackson actually playing quite well to start the 2024/25 season, there isn't as much desperation for a new No. 9. Chelsea can focus on continuing to build a holistic squad with smart signings, rather than breaking the bank on high-risk players as they have previously done. Although the Blues have one of the best young defenders in England in Levi Colwill and are high on Wesley Fofana, it would behoove them to s...

Roma could lose ugly vs. Fiorentina Roma were able to get the three points they needed at mid-week by grinding out a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv, but given their lone goal was an Artem Dovbyk spot kick, the Giallorossi did little to convince their doubters that they are on the right track. Last weekend, Roma lost their second game of the Serie A season against reigning champions Inter Milan 1-0, which doesn't sound like that bad of a result until you realize the Giallorossi have also only won two games and sit 10th in the league after 8 matches played. Look, Roma can cycle through as many managers as they want to, but the reality is they have a poorly constructed squad and one of the worst ownership groups in the entire league. Roma have managed to score only eight goals in eight ga...

Everton's biggest key to victory vs. Fulham There's usually not a whole lot of nice things to say about a team stuck 16th in the Premier League table, but Everton are more than three points above the drop zone and have one of my favorite wide men in the league in Dwight McNeil, who has a knack for scoring bangers. Everton aren't the favorites against Fulham this weekend, but you have to admit they have more than a fighting chance. Sean Dyche has had a tough task getting anything out of his team attacking-wise, and it feels like a few of their most talented players, such as former Serie A starters Beto and Jesper Lindstrom, haven't quite figured this whole "scoring in the Premier League" thing out. What Everton need to do in order to win this game is elementary. They need to get the ...
