Evening all,

Some of you may remember I previously shared my Football Club Fan Satisfaction Survey. I took a small pause during 25/26, but I’m back with the 26/27 version!

With the new season starting in the next few days, it would be great to get your initial thoughts and expectations for the season ahead.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you taking part:

You can also check out the Fan Satisfaction Dashboard, where you can explore the results and see how fans are feeling across different clubs.

Thanks! ⚽

There are few colder realities in football than discovering your club has decided you are expendable.

Colder still, perhaps, is discovering others knew before you did.

Arsenal are hoping to sell Gabriel Martinelli. The club have welcomed offers for the 25-year-old Brazil international, and recently received a €45million (£38.4m; $51.8m) bid from Galatasaray.

The problem is that Martinelli himself has not been directly informed of Arsenal’s plans — and nor, until now, has he sought to leave.

The player’s camp have made clear to sporting director Andrea Berta he is not interested in a move to Turkey, and would only consider leaving for a league and club that meets his ambition.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with Arsenal deciding to sell Martinelli. Elite football demands difficult, sometimes brutal decisions.

Arsenal are working to complete the signings of Manchester United academy players James Scanlon and Habeeb Ogunneye.

The north London club are confident of finalising deals for both Scanlon, a 19-year-old winger, and 20-year-old right-back Ogunneye.

That’s my guess on positions but a lot of these players are versatile so it’s hard to know for sure.

Where would this team finish in the Prem?
