They might have been in the headlines due to the controversy surrounding Morgan Gibbs-White's situation, but overall, their recruitment has been sound.

My Favorite signings of the 23/24 Season Usually when I see people write on the best signings of the season, a lot of the time the names are similar in each persons tier list. In this piece, I wanted to share some of my favorite signings of the season. These won’t necessarily contain the most obvious names or the most big money signings but more players that I really enjoyed watching that I felt made the most impact for their respective sides.

I agree. Do not understand why he didn't take the opportunity to take a loan especially at Frankfurt. Needs way more match practice before he can actually make an impact for us consistently.

Barring Olise our wingers have been horrid.

Bayern just need a reset. Injuries and everyone just looks tired. Kim,Kimmich have played the most minutes in all comps and its evident. They just look jaded. Kompany needs his players back fit and ready after the winter break. No point going nuts over this loss everyone was just switched off.

What an incredible end to the Chess World Championship. Sure, there were mistakes in many matches, but the composure shown by Gukesh has been mightily impressive. The youngest-ever Chess World Champion!

Ever since the Barca game our oop work has been strong. Disciplined and proactive. Shame barring Jamal and Kane, the attack has been disappointing.
