Boubacar Kamara is becoming more than Aston Villa’s defensive anchor.
His positional intelligence, composure in possession and ability to progress the ball give Unai Emery greater tactical flexibility.
@Cerebralcardo examines how Kamara’s evolving role is transforming Villa’s midfield.

Three and a half years ago I wrote this article for @breakthelines and now Amedspor are two points off the top in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Hope this gives some context to where the club have come from and the challenges faced to get where they are.
A match in Turkey's third division between Bursaspor and Amed SK spilled into vitriol and chaos, reflecting an inescapable divide that is inescapable in the nation's society between Kurds and Turks.

Bruno Guimarães' summer transfer to Arsenal could be the latest example of this shifting balance of power.
Long-term contracts might protect a player's transfer value, but they can no longer guarantee his loyalty.
Clubs can negotiate the price, but players dictate the destination.

Who really controls the modern transfer market?
Not the owners. Not the sporting directors. Increasingly, it's the players themselves.

“ A more valuable football club is not necessarily a better football club.”
As billionaires pour money into football, are they building teams to win trophies or assets to sell for a profit?

Just in time for the weekend. This week saw the @UWCL complete the third matchday of the league phase, while the #UWEC round of 16 first legs also took place. One change in the UEFA women's coefficient rankings, but some big conclusions from the week. My latest roundup for @breakthelines where I talk about what it means heading into the next matchweek less than two weeks from now

Manchester United will travel to Chelsea before hosting Roma and Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace will travel to Tottenham before hosting Hoffenheim and Liverpool.
Will Carrick and Sage make it to the post-international break? My guess is yes for Sage, no for Carrick.
Patience is becoming a luxury in modern football, with 11 managerial changes being made in the Premier League last season.
Are clubs sacrificing long-term success for short-term results? @JackPatmore_ takes a look:

Michael Carrick and Pierre Sage are already facing scrutiny after an underwhelming start to the season at Manchester United and Crystal Palace, respectively.
In today's game, yesterday's achievements offer little protection from tomorrow's dismissal.
Crystal Palace’s new project is already in trouble.
A 5–0 derby defeat to Brighton has intensified the pressure on Pierre Sage. With recruitment concerns mounting, who could step in if Palace decide to make a change?
@JackPatmore_ profiles four potential successors.

Football has always been a results business, but has the demand for instant success gone too far?
With financial pressures mounting and patience wearing thin, managers are increasingly running out of time before they get a chance to build.
