Paolo Di Canio has never hesitated to display his nutter credentials in football.  But can he get away with it as a manager? 

For six months, abuse was hurled down at Rafa Benitez with Chelsea voicing their discontent at the appointment of the Spanish and former Liverpool manager. A torrid end at Anfield, despite winning the Champions league, was seen as the probable end of Benitez in England.

Since the return of Jose Mourinho it has seemed like Juan Mata has been frozen out of the Chelsea side. It is something that has bemused fans all across the world.

On the 13^th of July, young Welshman Aaron Ramsey joined Arsenal in a move worth £4.8 million. He had become the youngest Cardiff City player to play a league game for the Bluebirds and impressed enough during the 2006-2007 season to earn a place in the big time.

If you didn’t know Jesse Lingard before, you will now. A good pre-season for Man United in Asia has led to a loan move to Birmingham for an initial month. He made his debut against Sheffield Wednesday and boy was it spectacular.

Following a summer where he was continually linked with a move away from Manchester United, Wayne Rooney has begun the new season in blistering form is making David Moyes’s transition to the big time a little easier.

For my last video I want to talk more in depth about one of my top 10 favourite players in Europe at the moment. The Bayern Munich man oozes class and quality which is what I adore about him. With Bayern signing Mario Gotze and Thiago Alcantara, his place in the team has come under increasing threat. If he is dislodged from the team, in my opinion, he’s too good to be a back up. This is an Arsene Wenger style signing, potentially available and the possibility to get him at a reduced price due to his contract expiring in the summer of 2015. Bayern will not want Kroos to enter the final year of his contract with teams prowling around him. 

Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus is one of the five players I mentioned yesterday in regards to who Arsenal should be targeting in January and I discussed why his transfer to Arsenal wouldn’t be as ridiculous as some people make out it would be. A quick summary for those who didn’t read it yesterday. Tomas Rosicky is his idol, he supports Arsenal, he speaks very highly of Jack Wilshere, the arrival of Mesut Ozil and the German influence on the team in general.
