[Romano] Tottenham have absolutely no intention to sell Son despite rumours with Saudi clubs.

This is unrelated but all the Saudi business recently has kind of given me a new perspective on owners like Daniel Levy. I really do think despite his horrible sporting decisions there is a degree to which Spurs fans should be grateful to have him and ENIC running their club. It allows them to still love the club unashamedly. More and more it seems foreign owners are able to completely alienate the relationship between a club and a supporter. It's bizarre for example that when you're a Newcastle or City fan today you have to have some inner dialogue with yourself about human rights abuse and where you stand with the owners in terms of ethics and morality.

I'm not a fan of an EPL team myself, but if I were I think it would be a happier experience being a Tottenham fan than a Newcastle or City one.

I'm not actually a United fan so I don't know what Sabitzer's loan situation is. But I do watch a lot of them and Eriksen is definitely on his last legs. I think he becomes a bench player next season.

My take on their center midfield targets is that Mount is a good player and would be good for them but he still doesn't solve their problem of progressive carries and tight possession. They need a De Jong type player and Mount definitely isn't that. But the midfield is very weak so he's an upgrade on what they have at least

[The Athletic | Stafford-Bloor] Jude Bellingham is different – A portrait of Real Madrid’s new superstar

I'm a Barcelona fan so it brings me no pleasure to say this, but Madrid really seem to be transitioning their midfield well, if they actually trust Tchouameni again and move Camavinga back where he belongs. Having the options of Cama, Tchou, Bellingham and Valverde to start and Modric and Kroos as bench players would be insane if managed right. I think he will be an important part of their new chapter.
