Really enjoyed today's newsletter where all four of us @thetransferflow.bsky.social writers chipped in with some thoughts on transfer grades for the second set of PL teams: www.thetransferflow.com/p/chelsea-do...

Thursday bets out now: www.thetransferflow.com/p/variance-b...

A £300m outgoings window. No one's ever done it like Chelsea. www.thetransferflow.com/p/chelsea-do...

It was an incredible player trading window for Chelsea, but we're not sure they actually got better at football. Transfer grades for the Blues, plus Burnley, Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham: www.thetransferflow.com/p/chelsea-do...

Transfer grades is probably the most popular content we do at The Transfer Flow all season. We'll be getting through all the Premier League teams this week, first 5 teams here: www.thetransferflow.com/p/transfer-g...

It's transfer grades season! Our staff liked Arsenal going into win-now mode and spending big on low-risk players this window. But what did we think of Aston Villa, Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton? www.thetransferflow.com/p/transfer-g...

Sometimes the books get the lines right, you have no edge, and the best play is to avoid losing money www.thetransferflow.com/p/variance-b...

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @mixedknuts.bsky.social talk about: • Arsenal finding their best lineup for knockout football • Spain running Yamal into the ground • Aston Villa looking terrible so far • The madness of Juve 4-3 Inter www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcNZ...

Ruben Amorim says Man Utd are getting better. Has he actually got a point? We asked @mixedknuts.bsky.social what he thinks. Can Russell Martin turn Rangers around after another terrible weekend? Rangers Review's Chris Jack isn’t convinced. And nor are we. Listen here: pod.fo/e/32afb7

Wasn't it great to have the Premier League back this weekend? Some takes on: • The status of Manchester United's rebuild • If Woltemade is good at heading • Brighton's struggles • Changing rules to nerf set pieces www.thetransferflow.com/p/let-s-talk...

The most improved aspect of Man United's play this season is the hardest to execute against City. Plus: • Grealish FPL analysis • Games we're watching • Stuff we're reading www.thetransferflow.com/p/will-manch...

ICYMI: I wrote about Estêvão (and to a lesser extent Chelsea as a whole) for @thetransferflow.bsky.social. The piece looks at: - Comfort operating out wide & interior - Burgeoning off-ball repertoire - X-Factor for Chelsea's evolution in attack under Maresca www.thetransferflow.com/p/estevao-is...

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social talk about: • This weekend's huge Manchester Derby • Nuno out, Ange in at Forest • Liverpool vs. Atléti, Spurs vs. Villarreal in UEFA Champions League www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdc...

This week's article for @thetransferflow.bsky.social focuses on Estêvão. He's been hailed as Brazil's next superstar, and is off to a fast start with Chelsea. At just 18 years old, he might already be one of the biggest wildcards of the 2025-26 PL season www.thetransferflow.com/p/estevao-is...

What's the case for Chelsea jumping any of last year's top 3 and competing for the title? An 18-year-old making them better, mostly. It's not as crazy as it sounds. www.thetransferflow.com/p/estevao-is...

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social talk about: • This weekend's huge Manchester Derby • Nuno out, Ange in at Forest • Liverpool vs. Atléti, Spurs vs. Villarreal in UEFA Champions League www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdc...

As someone who is tasked with analyzing football and giving my opinions, it doesn't feel good to say "man I don't know." I have no idea if Ange is going to work out at Forest. But I *do* know they weren't actually good last year! www.thetransferflow.com/p/nottingham...

Nottingham Forest correctly determined that they weren't actually good last year and recruiting for Nuno's preferences was a losing game. It was time to evolve. ...but this might not be the best evolution. www.thetransferflow.com/p/nottingham...

Liverpool have spent about 300 million of the king’s finest on revamping their attack, but they now have to put it all together. I looked at a few options in today's @thetransferflow.bsky.social newsletter: www.thetransferflow.com/p/how-will-l...

Can Liverpool's big attacking talents all play together? Some different options for how to get Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike into the same lineup: www.thetransferflow.com/p/how-will-l...

A little meta update for the international break www.thetransferflow.com/p/what-s-com...

Daniel Levy was great until he wasn't. But the game has moved beyond his style of management. It was time. www.thetransferflow.com/p/daniel-lev...

Why it was time for Daniel Levy to go: www.thetransferflow.com/p/daniel-lev...

ICYMI: I wrote about Newcastle's acquisition of Nick Woltemade for @thetransferflow.bsky.social. He's one of the most unique footballers in football rn, which carries massive risk/reward. Can he succeed in the PL as a jumbo-sized facilitator, and if so, how? www.thetransferflow.com/p/nick-wolte...

Nick Woltemade is one of the most unique players in football rn. For @thetransferflow.bsky.social, I wtote about: - His peculiar skillset - Continued chase of unicorn 9s - Can he lead the line or is he a jumbo 10/SS - Big boom or bust potential for Newcastle www.thetransferflow.com/p/nick-wolte...

Nick Woltemade is Newcastle's new striker, but he doesn't exactly have the same skills as their old one. @moesquare.bsky.social on what Magpies can expect from their new man: www.thetransferflow.com/p/nick-wolte...

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social talk about: • Erik ten Hag's sacking after TWO games • Oliver Glasner likely moving up • What's wrong with Atléti? • Under-the-radar late transfers www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmCA...

There was a LOT of late business on the continent that got overshadowed by the Premier League. Get caught up on the deadline day moves from across Europe: www.thetransferflow.com/p/big-deadli...

Thrilled to say that I'll be a regular contributor to the @thetransferflow.bsky.social newsletter this season. Got a very easy start with a perfectly peaceful deadline day that totally did not keep me up till midnight: www.thetransferflow.com/p/breaking-d...

Biggest deadline day ever? @shelatneel.bsky.social breaks down the 9 most consequential moves: www.thetransferflow.com/p/breaking-d...

New podcast! @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @mixedknuts.bsky.social review the PL weekend and transfer deadline: • Liverpool wins on the pitch and in the market • Can Woltemade and Wissa replace Isak? • Spurs patching up holes • Did relegation battlers improve enough? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg1J...

Looking like we're going to have an all-timer of a wild deadline day www.thetransferflow.com/p/deadline-d...

Angelo Stiller would be a brilliant signing for Man United in their biggest area of need. The team's been lacking a deep-lying midfielder who can progress the ball like this since Michael Carrick slowed down... so basically for a decade.

Tyrique George in the Conference League last year. Tiny sample against some questionable competition, but easy to see why Maresca likes him.
