Previous news was that Pep Guardiola still hadn't thought about training the England national team, he was still focused on his own team, while the FA still needed a coach to fix his team, so only Tuchel was unemployed so he took this job, at least he was not too bad even though he was fired twice for not being good at leading his club.

If I'm not mistaken Haaland has just renewed his contract clause with Man City? Is that close to 100M?
It is still difficult for Barcelona to recruit Haaland while Man City needs him.

Look like England will be a no no for Guardiola.
According to several rumors and speculation the next Coach of England will be Tuchel and it will be official in hours/days

So, there is nothing much left for Pep.
According to rumored news of yesterday an extension of this contract for 1 year was on table.

At this point I think it will be the solution he will accept.

I think Pep prefers to stay at Manchester City because he has built a better squad and he will be able to bring the championship trophy easily with the existing squad. That would be a serious consideration and however choosing 1 season ahead would be a better choice for him to do. During his time coaching Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has broken many records and of course he can break even more records if he continues to choose to be with Manchester City.

Apart from that, we have to wait for Pep Guardiola's decision because all decisions are in his hands. If he has the same vision and mission as the new director, then there is a big chance that he will still choose to extend his contract. In addition, Tuchel has been officially appointed as the England national team coach so for the time being of course there is no stronger link to connect Pep with the England national team.

If in the end Manchester United want to at least get a little money from the sale then the transfer in January must be utilized as well as possible especially for Maguire and Lindelof who are still quite valuable considering their contracts will expire at the end of the season.

For Evans he is likely to leave and just be released because indeed with his age and short-term contract it is clear that this will be difficult when talking about selling so most likely he will be allowed to leave but for Maguire and Lindelof there must at least be a return from the purchase money even though this will also be a little difficult because surely some clubs will only wait for the contract to be completed and bring it with free agent status.

Maguire has improved tremendously at the Wolves but at Manchester United although sometimes there are some surprises given but his performance is not as good as before so it is difficult for him to compete especially with some situations where even before in the De Gea era sometimes he was like an opponent not a friend which made him labeled as a failure for Manchester United. Previously if only Manchester United dared to provide with an offer last season maybe this would be easier but Manchester United seemed to prefer to hold it which made the current loss situation for Manchester United even greater for the purchase of Maguire.

At first glance we can estimate how the English team squad under the head coach Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel once coached the English Premier League team, Chelsea. From the experience of training Chelsea, Tuchel for my initial estimate, he had gotten which player he would use.
For me, Britain did a good job in finding a head coach and for me Tuchel coach Yanhg was good to expect trophy.
British success with Tuchel I make sure it will be realized if FA gives him confidence in a short time.

Barcelona is having too many on and off the field troubles but still their start of this season under Hansi Flick is impressive after 9 rounds they are leading the league table by 3 points from the Real Madrid and things are looking interesting because we are having some injuries issues with them which are bringing problems, and they are having 2 defeats in last few games which have setback for them, but their comeback is also good because they have potential to do things as they wanted.

Now Nico Williams topic is going to be close because he wants to stay at the Barcelona and things are clearly favourable for him to do which is surely not favourable for the Barcelona, but they are also having few good players which can give them good results specially Yamal is impressive in this season, and we are also had few more good players with them things can go good.

BBC and speculs these days seems to be funny. Why will any reasonable manager leave a club he is successfull at and get all his payment in time and not owe any money. The only reason why I think Pep might consider leaving Manchester City for any other team is if he is own some money like Barcelona did the last time, he will definitely leave their ass down otherwise, he will likely continue to break more of the record to win more Premier League title, 4 in a row already and maybe 5 this season.

I'm not sure if Pep will even represent any national team to coach them when I'm confident that there will be teams and clubs on the sideline waiting to have him so them can have a taste if what some teams have won after working for them. But the story will be different if he want to retire from coaching clubs which I doubt because Klopp out of nowhere decided to quit Liverpool but the story behind was different and the form was different in their respective clubs.

My benchmark for 200 million refers to the value on https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/profil/spieler/418560 transfermarkt and it is possible that the release clause will not be much different from this because Manchester City even though they bought Haaland under 100 million from Dortmund before but surely they also don't want to lose in business especially for now Haaland is a goal machine for them.

I am not saying that he will play with Mbappe but when he is in La Liga then the rivalry with Mbaape who is now in Madrid is clearly very open especially it is likely to be difficult if Haaland is in Madrid because it is likely that these 2 monster players will not be able to be united. It's just that I also doubt Barcelona and the reason is not far from the poor financial conditions for Barcelona so I will not speculate too much on this because I think the chance is very small.

If you check @coinlocket$ post, he said that Pep Guardiola might be the one to land the English manager job. So, I was actually responding to his post that the Spanish manager was not chosen. I also think that it is developing news that is worth discussing. However, coaching the English national team is one of the most difficult jobs in the managerial profession. Thomas Tuchel was sacked from his last two jobs at Chelsea and Bayern Munich, respectively. I hope he will be successful in his first national team job.

We have already to discuss about this yesterday that FA actually has several candidates as the manager including Tuchel and previously Guardiola is the strongest candidate but apparently FA has make a decision that they will make Tuchel as the replacement of Southgate and it's quite interesting to know whether Tuchel can able to bringing England to advances to the World Cup 2026 or not and unlike other national teams but England is quite different because this country was very rare to hire the manager from outside England and Tuchel is the 3rd manager who came from outside England after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello and Tuchel debut match with England will be happened on November at Nation League against Greece and Ireland

After 4 years of playing absolutely one of the worst career of his life, you think there is somebody somewhere that will buy Maguire with good cheque, I'm not sure. He has played one of the wonderful games of his life but that was in the past. If there is anything that is going to increased his worth on the transfer market, that is going to be because of the little reputation of Manchester United and not because of what he has done in the few past years.

Casemiro is already pissed off with ETH and his ways of coaching, the last heated argument didn't end well with them and man left the pitch before the match ended and the wife responded by posting his achievement of Real Madrid trophies and I just laughed, the man is already fed up and will definitely leave if given a chance so he can join his companions in the middle east.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/10/15/thomas-tuchel-agrees-to-become-next-england-manager/#:~:text=Thomas%20Tuchel%20has%20agreed%20to,Goran%20Eriksson%20and%20Fabio%20Capello.

It's in the news that Thomas Tuchel has agreed to be the new permanent coach of England. The German will become the third foreign manager of the three loins if a deal is signed. So, the possibility of Pep Guardiola coaching England is approximately zero. He might decide to extend his contract because he is achieving so much with Manchester City.

It seems Joan Laporta is desperate to bring Erling Haaland to Barca. My question is, does the club have the money to bring him and also cover his wage? I also doubt City will allow him to leave.

Liverpool's current situation is indeed very vulnerable regarding the future of several of its star players, not only Trent Alexander-Arnold who is currently being targeted by Real Madrid. However, Liverpool is also increasingly worried because Moh Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are also in the same situation as Trent Alexander-Arnold. The contracts of the three players will expire next summer and all three could leave for free if Liverpool has not given them a new contract. Of course this is a less than favorable situation for Liverpool.

Of course the main reason Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold is because Real Madrid in its current situation, their defense line is very fragile due to the many Real Madrid defenders who have long-term injuries, the latest being Carvajal's injury. In addition, Real Madrid does need a defender like Trent Alexander Arnold who has the ability to attack and has a good defense. So it is only natural that Real Madrid really wants Trent Alexander-Arnold in the transfer market later, especially since he is the type of defender who is very suitable for Real Madrid's game, he can attack and is also strong in guarding the defense area of ​​course plus his age is still very young.

I think it depends on the interest of the English side to consider Pep Guardiola to be the boss of their team squad, that too on the condition that Pep does not extend his contract with TheCitizen. but the probability of becoming the England manager is quite high if Pep Guardiola is willing. IMO, my guess is that Pep Guardiola will extend his contract with Manchester City for at least one more season. that too on the condition that Pep is not interested in choosing another team or national team that he does not want. but actually I am very curious if Pep becomes the England national team manager, how will his performance be in bringing The Three Lions.

İsmail Yüksek is a good footballer, but I think he has mental problems. Fenerbahçe often struggles in matches when he is not fully committed to the pitch. The reason for İsmail Yüksek's low mental level is that he plays for Fenerbahçe on a low salary. It is a shame for the team that a player like İsmail Yüksek is paid around 400.000 Euros per year. I hope that the teams bidding for İsmail Yüksek are serious and that he will transfer from Fenerbahçe to a better place. İsmail is a player with a very clear future if he improves himself mentally and I believe he will be very successful.

Guardiola has been linked more with his probable next destination, coach of England.
Other sources however are talking about 1 year extention with Manchester City.

As said Haaland is now linked with Barcelona.

Keep in mind that would be also a political move if the Superleage will really start in 1 or 2 years, it can be the star of the competion, imho.

I never thought this deal was going to collapse because everything was just going smoothly. He has Lamine Yamal his close friend and countryman in that team already, moving to a team like Barcelona is something he would be proud of and will like to play to his best when he joins the team. I didn’t know how the deal got collapsed after the so many green lights in that deal that it’s going work out. From the statement above said to be released by Hansi Flick after the deal collapsed, it doesn’t seem to me like he meant them, he might have just said that out of anger of the deal not going through.

If another opportunity arise for them to bring him in again, I don’t think they’ll hesitate not to push for him. Nico Williams is a very young and talented player that Barcelona if gotten in that frontline will make their game more interesting, the other players he said that can play like him are on left than him and in no time may become useless to be productive again. This is where Real Madrid is always one step ahead of them, they get young players and invest in them for long time. Barcelona should also learn to inculcate that if they want to go far in the league every season.

Where's the name Casemiro and Anthony? These are also names they should let go immediately, and even if they do this during the upcoming January transfer window, I'll be grateful to see and witnessing that happening. Selling Harry Maguire to make profits would be lovely, like I always say, he has caused Manchester United more harm than good and he has got to be the worse defender and captain of Manchester United. He did well during the first game against Fulham but consistency has been his issue, he lacks pace as a modern day defender and also confidence. Good luck is what I'm wishing him.

Getting a light sentence after filing an appeal and being able to return to playing football is good news for his supporters including Paul Pogba himself. From now on he must rebuild his professional career considering that he has not played on the green field for a long time playing the round ball, his performance will not be like before.



But on the one hand, the good news will not open the way for Juventus to retain him even though we all admit that he is indeed a talented midfielder. We see his statistics since Juventus bought him back from Manchester United, and after often experiencing injuries he did not contribute much to the team, it is clear that Juventus no longer needs his creative help in building attacks in midfield. Furthermore, I am not sure for now if there is a club that wants to use his services from the European league, rumors with Marseille have not been clear until now, but if it concerns the Saudi Arabian professional league, the door to play there is still open.

Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton might all leave Manchester United by the end of the season and the next transfer window in January might be very important for Manchester United in order to return some of its investment on them.
Talking about Harry Maguire, his performance dropped a lot, he wasn't focusing on his games, not that ready physically and mentally, he made a lot of horrible mistakes that even Manchester United fans made a compilation of them.
This is not some amateur stuff or a random team without a lot of achievements. What Harry done harmed his team and thus explained why his market value dropped and the asked price by his team to let him go dropped like 66%!
