"Ibrahima Konatรฉ leaves Liverpool as free agent"
"Robert Lewandowski leaves Barcelona as free agent"
"Dusan Vlahovic leaves Juventus as free agent"
"Jadon Sancho leaves Man United as free agent after 5 years since joining on ยฃ75m deal from BVB."
Noticing.
๐ฃ๏ธ Brilliant from Dougie Critchley on if Bruno Fernandes should win the PFA Premier League POTS award:
โYeah, absolutely. I mean, I think some people say, Man United have had so few games, they haven't played in Europe, but neither did Kante when he won it in 2017.
โNeither did Mahrez. Neither did Luis Suarez when he won it.
โAnd, he hasn't, of course, won the league this year. But nine of the last 16 PFA Player of the Years haven't won the league.
โI don't think it's actually imperative. And this guy has created the most chances in the entirety of Europe. And the last player to create more in the premier league season was Kevin de Bruyne in 2019/20 and he didn't win the league that year either. And he was named PFA Player of the Year.
โSo, I think exceptional performance is just exceptional performance and he has been brilliant.โ

With respect to my colleagues in the football writing industry, I am stunned that Bruno Fernandes has been named FWA Footballer of the Year instead of Declan Rice. Rice has literally won more matches this season (35) than Fernandes has even played (34).
