I’m still trying to wrap my head around that Haaland deal. City must know something about those charges that we don’t!

Amad Diallo is every managers dream.

Beyond talent - his passion for the club, work rate, positive energy, never say die attitude, infectious aura that impacts his team mates, his connection to the fans.

Paying back his employers after signing a new deal with a game saving hatrick is incredible.

What are you doing this window if you were Nottingham Forest manager?

It'll be interesting to see where Fulham finish this year, they've definitely levelled up. They've had some strong performances this season, and play decent football too.

Alex Iwobi opened his own temporary shop in East London and has been giving out free food to local residents struggling to pay for their Christmas dinner.

Amorim has the aura of a success leader. I think he’ll be able to do what others have not, given the tools and time required.
