Tottenham boss Thomas Frank confirmed striker Dominic Solanke has undergone ankle surgery after recurring issues. The forward, sidelined since August, had briefly returned to training but needed a procedure to address persistent problems, leaving Spurs without him for the foreseeable future. Solanke’s injury, sustained in pre-season, had already ruled him out of the UEFA Super Cup. He featured briefly in two early league games but never regained full fitness. Spurs expect a clearer recovery timeline after the international break, compounding Frank’s attacking challenges.

Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood blasted Ruben Amorim, claiming he “bluffed his way” into Manchester United by talking well despite poor results. He argued Amorim’s rigid 3-4-3 system doesn’t fit the squad, producing just 34 points from 33 league games. Sherwood said Amorim’s success in Portugal doesn’t translate to the Premier League, where fewer easy games expose tactical flaws. He questioned United’s patience after transfer backing and continued inconsistency, warning Amorim’s refusal to adapt risks dragging the Red Devils into mediocrity.

Manchester United are weighing a £65m move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as they seek stability at the back. With Harry Maguire’s contract expiring and United conceding 11 goals in six games, Branthwaite has emerged as their top defensive target. Branthwaite’s mix of physicality and ball-playing ability has made him one of the Premier League’s brightest centre-backs. United face stiff competition from Liverpool, who view him as Van Dijk’s successor, but their desperation for defensive reinforcements could push them into January action.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is holding post-game training sessions to sharpen his side’s attacking edge after Alexander Isak’s departure left a major void. Record signing Nick Woltemade has only scored once since joining. Following a 4-1 Carabao Cup win, Howe staged drills at St James’ Park with Woltemade, Trippier, Livramento, Barnes and Tonali to sharpen finishing. With Isak now at Liverpool, Newcastle need Woltemade to adapt quickly or risk enduring a prolonged scoring drought.

West Ham have sacked Graham Potter after just six wins in 25 matches, appointing Nuno Espirito Santo as his replacement. Nuno, fresh off leaving Nottingham Forest, has signed a three-year deal and will take charge immediately. With West Ham languishing 19th and out of the Carabao Cup, the club acted swiftly, clearing Potter’s entire backroom team. Nuno will debut on the touchline against Everton, tasked with reviving a squad that has flatlined despite managerial changes.

With Casemiro suspended, Ruben Amorim is working closely with Mainoo on defensive roles, aiming to trial him as a No.6 alongside Bruno Fernandes. Despite limited minutes this season, Mainoo remains central to Amorim’s long-term plans. Amorim admires Mainoo’s athleticism and IQ, pushing him to develop discipline and versatility. Seen in “warrior mode” in training, the 20-year-old is being moulded for deeper midfield duties, with Amorim convinced he can provide balance and future leadership.

Haaland’s blistering form, with 91 goals in 104 league games and 50 Champions League strikes in record time, has fuelled talk of him becoming the Premier League’s greatest striker. Sheringham believes he could eclipse Alan Shearer’s 260-goal record. Sheringham outlined two decisive factors: Haaland must stay fit and remain at City long-term, potentially tied to Guardiola’s future. Already smashing records, Haaland’s consistency and longevity will define whether he becomes English football’s ultimate marksman.

Amorim faces renewed pressure after United’s dismal form and early Carabao Cup exit. Critics call his squad a “Frankenstein team” lacking identity, while the Portuguese coach insists on his 3-4-3 despite poor results. Club legends are now being floated as emergency options. Despite finishing 15th last season and starting poorly again, Amorim has board backing for now. Yet Michael Carrick or Darren Fletcher could be drafted in if results worsen, showing the club’s readiness to lean on familiar faces to stabilise the crisis.

Players still back Potter, but unrest grows after the Palace defeat. Nevin defended Lampard, noting his Chelsea legacy overshadowed his West Ham exit, but argued he deserves another chance. With Everton and Arsenal up next, Potter’s future could hinge on results before the break.

Bayern Munich attempted a late summer swoop for Raheem Sterling, but the Chelsea forward rejected the chance, citing family priorities in London. The rejection left him stuck in Enzo Maresca’s “bomb squad,” training away from the first team until January. Sterling, earning a place among Chelsea’s unwanted, prioritized stability for his family over silverware abroad. Bayern’s approach highlighted Kompany’s desire to reunite with his ex-Manchester City teammate, but Sterling’s refusal leaves him sidelined with limited prospects until the winter transfer window.
