## Resource

In the latest edition of Caught Offside, Andrew Gundling and JJ Devaney take a look at some of the latest moves to come across our transfer desk including Bradley Barcola to Liverpool, Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City and Folarin Balogun to Everton. Plus, what is it Tottenham see in Mykhailo Mudryk? And what version of Jack Grealish will the Toffees be getting? We'll share our thoughts on both. Then, we turn our attention to the end of one of the greatest national team careers we've ever seen as Lionel Messi retires from international football. We'll look back at the complexities, failures and successes of his incredible 21 years putting on the Argentinian kit and we'll ask the question of what he'll be remembered more for - his time at Barcelona or his time with Argentina. All that plus our thoughts on Chelsea's lethal attack, Cherki's continuing rise and the age where you can no longer go "full kit." For even more Caught Offside content, get on over to Caught Offside Plus right now! Later this week, Andrew will unveil his ultimate Premier League team by position group. Whose attack? Whose midfield? Whose defending? Whose goalkeepers? We'll discuss in the next edition of Caught Offside PLUS!
