Sheffield Wednesday’s latest situation has drawn comment from one of Sky Sports’ Championship pundits as Don Goodman feels sorry for manager Garry Monk as he believes they have, or at least had, genuine playoff ambitions.

What’s he said?

Late last week, the EFL charged the Owls for financial misconduct over the £60m sale of Hillsborough stadium to owner Dejphon Chansiri.

It is something that the club intends to contest at the earliest opportunity, although one football finance expert has claimed that Wednesday are in line to face a 12-point deduction at the very least.

No penalty has yet been confirmed.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ EFL Podcast this week, Goodman said:

“How unlucky can you be if you’re Garry Monk?

“It seems to have been a blatant disregard of the rules and that’s why they may well be hit very hard.

“You’ve got to feel for Garry Monk, you’ve got to feel for the fans.

“With Sheffield Wednesday, this season represents a wonderful opportunity for so many clubs that haven’t been around that area for quite some time and they are one of them.

“They have genuine playoff ability within that squad and Garry Monk, so any kind of points deduction is really going to hit them, you feel.”

Trouble follows Monk

It is not the first time that Monk has had to face such a situation.

During his reign at Birmingham City last season, the Midlands club were slashed with a nine-point deduction in March, which had them teetering around the relegation zone after having a somewhat decent season beforehand.

If anything that comes as a positive to the Owls as their chief in command has been through it all before, but as Goodman says, how unlucky do you have to be to face such circumstances in back-to-back seasons.

This is going to effectively end their promotion ambitions if the repercussions come into effect soon as they will go from being three points outside the playoff zone to on the border of the relegation zone overnight.

So the Thomas Muller to Manchester United transfer saga is back under way again. The Bayern Munich man has been perennially linked with a move to Old Trafford, and was suggested to be a target for the Red Devils back when Louis van Gaal was in charge of the club.

A move to Manchester has failed to materialise for the forward, but that apparently isn’t the end of the story. According to respected German journalist Christian Falk, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are keen on signing Muller in the upcoming January transfer window.

The attacker has found game-time with the Bundesliga champions limited this season, with Robert Lewandowski being preferred in the number nine role by Niko Kovac.

After hearing the latest update surrounding their long-running chase of the German, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the matter.

Many supporters of the Manchester side insisted the move simply didn’t make sense, and that he is far from good enough at this current stage of his career.

Check out some of the reaction of United fans below:

Speaking to Sporting Life, Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has named Crystal Palace as his surprise team of the season.

Le Tissier made 303 appearances for the Saints and scored an impressive 109 goals, with 102 of them coming in the Premier League for the south coast side.

Interestingly, the 51-year-old has been particularly surprised by the Eagles’ start to the campaign.

Roy Hodgson’s men currently sit 6th in the Premier League having lost just two of their eight games, and Le Tissier has sung the praises of the work being done by the former England manager.

What did he say?

Le Tissier said: “I think Crystal Palace have surprised me the most. They are sat in sixth place when I would have expected them to be in the bottom six, considering the lack of goals they have in their side. Roy Hodgson is doing a cracking job at the moment.”

A great achievement so far

What Hodgson has done so far this season deserves a lot of praise.

Presumably, the 72-year-old would’ve loved bundles of cash to spend on a prolific goalscorer in the summer, but instead, he had to make do with a spending spree that consisted of roughly £3.5m leaving the Eagles’ bank account.

Gary Cahill was signed on a free transfer. Jordan Ayew arrived in a deal worth £2.5m, and James McCarthy was signed for what The Athletic believe to be a fee under £1m.

Nevertheless, Hodgson has rolled his sleeves up and got on with it in admirable fashion – he has also had to do so without his first-choice right-back from last season in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who was sold to Manchester United for £50m.

To have a side missing such a key player, as well as one that has had to go without Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins, performing so well deserves huge credit – effectively, Hodgson has lost three members of his starting back four from 2018/19 (two only temporarily), but has managed to keep the ship steady.

Le Tissier is right in two regards – Palace’s form is extremely surprising, and Hodgson deserves  all the credit.

Having taken over captaincy duties from Phil Jagielka this season following the defender’s departure this summer, Seamus Coleman is quickly learning that his new role carries greater scrutiny.

The Republic of Ireland international represents the players on and off-the-pitch, and only top-quality performances will suffice.

Unfortunately for the 30-year-old, his displays this season haven’t quite been up to scratch.

The right-back has yet to produce a single goal or assist in six appearances this season, whilst his tackling numbers have dropped by a third from last year – 1.5 to 0.5.

In the 2-0 defeat to Sheffield United on Saturday, Coleman had no shots, key passes, tackles or interceptions.

After seeing the Irishman’s anonymous display, Everton fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about the club’s skipper.

Many supporters of the Merseyside club slammed Coleman as a “liability”, whilst one fan even suggested the veteran’s attempts at trying to play football is “putting years upon years on me”.

Some fans even questioned why summer arrival Djibril Sidibe hasn’t been given a proper look-in yet, especially after their captain’s recent decline.

Having joined from Swiss side FC Basel in January 2016, Mohamed Elneny has enjoyed a steady, if unspectacular career with Arsenal.

The Egypt international has made 89 appearances across all competitions, but has struggled to really establish himself as a starter in the Gunners’ first-team.

After the loan signing of Dani Ceballos earlier this summer, Elneny slid further down the pecking order in the Arsenal midfield, and it has now been confirmed the 27-year-old will be spending a season away from the Emirates.

The north London side revealed on their official club website that the Egyptian has joined Turkish giants Besiktas on a season-long loan.

After hearing the update on Elneny’s future, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to reveal their thoughts on the move.

Many supporters of the north London side hailed Raul Sanllehi for producing a “masterclass” in the summer transfer window, and helping to get rid of some of the deadwood in the squad.

Speaking on BT Sport, Owen Hargreaves has tipped Mason Greenwood to finish as the Premier League’s top scorer one season.

What did he say?

The 17-year-old etched himself into Manchester United folklore by scoring his first competitive goal for the senior side in the Europa League clash against FC Astana on Thursday night.

After seeing Greenwood’s goal-scoring display, former Red Devils star Hargreaves delivered a stunning prediction as to what the teenager could hope to achieve in his career.

He said (as quoted by The Daily Mirror): “Stay fit, stay healthy, and the sky is the absolute limit for him. He can be anything he wants, top scorer in the Premier League one day. I’m excited to see he’s able to decide a Europa League game at 17. For a young player to have that composure in the box, he’s going to be a top player.”

A touch of caution

Greenwood may be the name on everybody’s lips right now, but there is a striking similarity to the kind of start his teammate also enjoyed. Marcus Rashford also burst onto the scene on the European stage too, before having a break-through campaign under Louis van Gaal.

Since then however, the 21-year-old has seen his form called into question, and there is still a lingering debate about what his best position is. Greenwood’s own versatility – he can play off the right, the left, as a second striker and an out-and-out centre-forward – could prove to be to his detriment too.

It will therefore be up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to ensure the precocious teenager is managed carefully, both in terms of his playing time and tempering the understandable expectation and hype. If the United boss can do that, then the Red Devils academy product could eventually leapfrog the man whose path he is following.

Rangers fans are feeling optimistic about the latest update surrounding the future of Ryan Kent.

According to Sky Sports, Kent is being priced out of a move away from Anfield, with his asking price being reported at around £7m, but Gers fans are still hopeful a deal can be done.

This comes after Steven Gerrard admitted it looked unlikely that his club would be able to afford to bring the winger back to Ibrox, per The Express.

With Jurgen Klopp stating to The Liverpool Echo that he won’t leave the club on loan though, it certainly looks like the Reds are hoping to cash in this summer, which could see the asking price drop as we get closer to the deadline.

The 22 year-old was a good acquisition for Gerrard last season, scoring six times and setting up a further nine in his 43 appearances while on loan at Ibrox.

His performances last season earned him the Young Player of the Year award, so it’s no surprise the fans are desperate for him to come back to Glasgow.

Here’s what the Light Blue supporters had to say on Twitter about the possibility of bringing Kent back to Ibrox…

Arsenal face the first true test of their credentials this season against Liverpool on Saturday.

The Gunners will travel to Anfield this weekend, and Unai Emery may have some big decisions to make in regards to his line-up for the match.

He has at least received some good news in the build-up to the game, as it has been confirmed that Mesut Ozil, along with Granit Xhaka, has returned to full training.

Is the Arsenal player in the video below the man Liverpool should fear most on Saturday?…

The former Germany international has not played since the Europa League final in June, and is not a popular figure at the Emirates Stadium. He has often received criticism from fans in the past for his performances.

However, not all of the north London outfit’s fans are against him. There are still some who believe he can do a job, and there are several supporters who have called for him to start against Liverpool this weekend.

They have been vocal on Twitter, and you can check out some of the best comments below.
