Barcelona are reportedly hopeful of landing their top transfer target in the coming week, while Ansu Fati is in a last-chance saloon situation at the La Liga outfit. Despite being one of the biggest clubs in the world, Barcelona‘s finances are very precarious. High wages, not being able to register players, and huge debts make life at the Catalan side a rather tumultuous one.

It feels like we’ve been here before. Multiple injuries to centre backs, damage to the spine of our team and uncertainty ahead of the new season. The last time this happened was during our playoff run two seasons ago. We still managed to pull enough results together with a makeshift back two, but came unstuck against a strong Luton side who took full advantage of our deficiencies.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.

So, Rob Couhig looks likely to become the new owner of Reading Football Club. This would be joyous news but, as a man who voted Labour in the General Election, much of that joy is more down to kicking out the rubbish incumbent than any love for the new guy. However, there are plenty of things Couhig could do right away to show he’s a strong and stable leader and, in that political vein, here are 10 things I would want done in his first 100 days in Berkshire.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is set to miss the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season with a back injury, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic. Wilson’s injury could also have an impact on Newcastle’s transfer plans, as the Magpies were thinking about adding a new forward... but only if they could complete the sale of Callum. With his fitness questionable and this injury in place, it’s going to be hard to sell him for any sizable amount of money, let alone the fact that he’s entering the final season under contract giving even more leverage to the potential suitors to offer even less money.

Manchester United snubbed by €70m midfield star: report

Sometimes — as much as I do enjoy modern football and the way even our team tries to play it out from the back and keep the ball — I just wish our players would pick it up and twat it. Hemir’s strike was a proper throwback and to my mind, possibly the best goal we’ve ever scored in pre-season. I’ve remained opened minded with Hemir and still think he has all the raw ingredients to be a decent player, so here’s hoping this is the start of his Sunderland redemption arc.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
