How will this actually go down in Italy. Italy seems a rather nationalistic country. Have recent failures changed the mood there
I don't think any national association could afford Guardiola at his City wages, without outside investment/finances to pay his wages,
No change for the oversight of the FA as Lisa Nandy remains Culture Secretary. New Sport Minster to be announced tomorrow.

You can see why Arsenal keep getting outflanked for all their top targets. They haven't really accepted that there's just a huge gap between their own valuation of players' prices and how the market values them. Any attacker who can move the needle even slightly for a side like Arsenal is going for at least £100m now. You don't have to be world-class to command that fee anymore.
🚨 Offer accepted by West Ham United for Crysencio Summerville £55m guaranteed + £5m potential bonuses - total package worth just over €70m as #AlHilal try to finalise signing of 24yo #Netherlands international winger - not fully done yethttps://t.co/Hr429OPfhF@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/QumbUx8Rcc— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) July 21, 2026
United the same. They want a market that doesn't exist. They think "value for money" is what it was 5 years ago. If Arsenal were serious they could easily make deals for Alvarez and Vinicius happen but they don't want to mix it with the big boys.

🚨 Aston Villa agree deal sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea. 22yo #CFC winger joins #AVFC on loan + conditional buy obligation.

My guess: Man Utd Chelsea Villa Somewhere in Turkey Udinese Granada Udinese Watford Udinese Somewhere in Turkey Somewhere in Saudi Somewhere in MLS Spanish Second Division
You can imagine Grimwade being a target for teenage bully boys because his family does YouTube content. Absolutely abysmal look for all the boys recording too. Heard someone shout "bang him" which is just grim. Obviously don't know the full picture but the two lads don't look like they're messing about. The FA needs to come down on this hard if they haven't already. Grimwade hasn't been in an England squad since November 25 so maybe this has something to do with it, unless he's had an injury in that time.
Jacob Dean-Ford of Wolves apparently. Looks like the vid is from October/Novemeber 25, which is when they were both last in the squad.
That’s applauding on all levels! The worst part is the boys recording with their phones and not attempting to stop any of it! Players will fight, I’m sure it’s not the first or last but what the other players were doing staggers me and one day when they are more mature they will hopefully understand and be applaud with themselves.
