I agree with you. It seems very small chance that Guardiola will accept the offer from England nation team. Unless the offer comes from Spain national team, Guardiola must consider it because he is a Spanish coach. It should be his dream to be the coach of Spain national team. However, I don't hear any rumor about the offer from Spain national team.

Ten Hag have some problems with Man United players like De Gea, Ronaldo, and Sancho. That's why Ten Hag don't want to keep the players in Man United squad. Onana may still have good relationship with Ten Hag, it is the same as Maguire. It can be the big reason why these players still play with Man united although they do some big mistakes.

This sounds like a great idea to me too. Although the transfer windows for the European league have not open yet for the next year's January windows but there's been serious talks about how Arsenal is likely to bring the good defender to join their team and I am trying to imagine what this outcome will really do for Arsenal but generally it is a plus for the club as that will help them tighten their defense and it will be great for their outings there after.

I just checked how long it is ago that Liverpool won the title for the last time and I noticed it was in 2020. That's quite some time ago already and apart from that close title race when Manchester City won the title with 93 points 1 point ahead of Liverpool, it wasn't all that exciting since then. Arsenal put up a good fight last season, but in the end it was quite obvious that Manchester City would outperform them. This season we have a few teams that can give Manchester City a hard time, but I think Liverpool might probably be the strongest of them all.

Onana isn't a bad keeper, but he can't show his best thus far and I don't know what the problem is for him. It's difficult to tell whether everything would have been better with De Gea, because I remember that De Gea also made mistakes from time to time, but the way he was sent away by ten Hag was bullshit. But is anyone still surprised about ten Hag's behavior? I don't think so. De Gea is one victim of many and he wasn't the last. Sancho is also have lots of trouble with him and there are several other players who are not ok with ten Hag.

The continuity for the Manchester United squad continues and it seems that there are several parties who regret De Gea's departure. He is an experienced goalkeeper and Manchester United should not let him leave, even though his heart is still at Old Trafford. But unfortunately the new Dutch coach destroyed him and preferred Onana even at a high cost. Don't know what Manchester United's fate will be next and maybe they will be worse off this season if they continue to rely on Onana.

According to some rumors, the England nation team is trying to convince Guardiola to join them for the next World Cup.


I don't think he will accept, however it may go with the Spain team...

Young players who are inexperienced but have good potential in the future are good targets. Choosing old players with a good record is certain, but of course it will require a fairly expensive price and many clubs will fight over it. it's just another option to choose. Chelsea is starting to hunt for talented young players such as Pape Daouda Diong, who is a 17-year-old midfielder from Senegal. However, the 17 year old midfielder will only join Chelsea in the summer of 2024. This is because Daouda Diong will only be 18 years old in 2024. Apart from Daouda Diong, Chelsea has also confirmed recruiting Ecuador wonderkid, Kendry Paez

That would be a pretty good addition IMHO. I don't care how much they have to spend for De Ligt. Arsenal need big players to get the title. For 2 seasons they are pretty close to the championship but still it's not enough. Why don't they spend more and secure the championship. Team chemistry is already good but they need 2 or 3 big additions to the squad. Other title contenders have big rosters and have plenty of options for rotation. Arsenal have smaller rotation. They need to sign more quality players.

So far it looks as if Chelsea will still need a lot of time to get back to their shape from years ago or maybe from the year when they won the Champions League. The biggest problem will be to get back into the top four. There are more and more teams that turned into fierce contenders for those valuable Champions League qualifiers. I doubt that within a year or so Chelsea can push aside teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa and some of the other teams that are at least on eye-level with Chelsea.

Chelsea is a big club and they need players who can deliver and keep getting results for the club. I don't really believe in this idea of buying young players and hoping that they will deliver in the future. Big clubs go for players who are ready to deliver at the immediate. There is no guarantee that these players will deliver anything good in the future. Other clubs will also have their recruitment strategy for the future and they are still making success presently. Gathering inexperienced players doesn't make any sense, they should mix experienced plyers with inexperienced players so that there will be balance in the team.

There is no hope left for Pogba. It's really too late for Juventus to come back from the comeback that they had to lose a moment ago. Juventus needed to strengthen their midfield. You know, Fagioli has been banned by the court. Hojbjerg is a nice goal and will add a lot to Juventus' midfield, the closer they are to this goal the better. Hojbjerg has a good career and will adapt to the Italian league if the transfer takes place quickly.

To stabilize their strength they need to recruit 1 or 2 players aged 33-34 years and apart from that they can transition a change with their young squad. Last summer chelsea made major improvements in their team but in fact they are still hampered by being able to recover more quickly this season. Yes they may need a lot of time to get back to strength so they have to focus on buying younger players to be able to support them in the coming season.
Chelsea must learn from Manchester city how to recruit players, where Manchester City does not buy many players, but one or three players they buy can contribute as expected. Chelsea has spent a lot of money in the transfer window but the quality of the players they bought have not contributed much to the team progress.

Currently, Chelsea has not officially confirmed this deal, but it is consistent with the transfer strategy at Stamford Bridge, And this is also what many other rich clubs are doing. But here, I see them spending a lot of money on young players, and I see a need for more stability in the play of these young players. If only they could bring in a classy striker. He will help the team be more stable. For example, they brought in Mbappe. Perhaps this year's season will be completely different for them. Recruiting young players, like Chelsea, is betting on them. I find it risky.

I can remember how Real Madrid groomed young players in the past and now enjoying them now. Most of those young players are now top notch players that every team will love to have in their squad. Chelsea are doing the right thing and this looks like the best idea for them now after having a bad outing last season despite buying all the best players they needed and no productive result. The scout team and the management are doing a great job by bringing the idea of adding young talents to the club now from an early age in order to groom them for the future of the club. Chelsea was once a big team and an excellent one in the past, maybe with this strategy, they can get back to their old days of glory again.

Ideally, a team must have a balance of young players who are their regeneration, as well as players who have experience and are established and can be relied on. this combination, would be ideal. like Manchester City. they have talented young players, as well as more established players.

Well, now we are talking from Chelsea's needs. in my view, Chelsea clearly has to bring in an established striker for their current squad. very clearly, they cannot rely on the existing players and even the pure strikers they have at the moment. that's also why, Chelsea struggle to improve their ranking and tend to be in the middle of the table. actually there are many choices, it's just whether the player they are targeting is willing or not. like Osimhen, he is established enough to be brought to Stamford Bridge. this player from Nigeria is still young, but can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals. it's clear this is what Chelsea needs, and the problem is whether the Napoli star is willing or not. there are also several other names that Arsenal are also targeting, although I haven't really followed their developments in the last week. but what is certain is that if Chelsea or Poche do not make changes, it is certain that Chelsea will have difficulty finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Hojbjerg, the guy is still around and I have to say I haven't heard much about him in the last few months, but maybe I just didn't pay attention.

The Pogba case will very likely come to an end very soon as Juventus Turin is checking whether they can cancel the contract unilaterally. If that's not possible, I still think that Juventus Turin wants to get rid of him. He has no practice at the moment, he is injured all the time and he has the doping issues at hand. All of that combined would make any decision to keep him for longer quite a stupid decision.

Maybe you want Arsenal to get him signed up and turn the lad to another Per Mertersaker ? I mean the German defender who turned flop for em scoring series'of own goals for em?! Lol

I don't see him headed for Arsenal truly. He should remain with Bayern Munich because theya big winning side. He can leave successfully when he sees a side that wants him just like they did.
Arsenal already had Gabriel and Salina one of the neatest defenders I've seen in the Premier League Competition lately. They're doing well and won't be out for no Afcon, so why go for a position that's not important?

Hojbjerg is said to be a target for Juventus. They would really make use of strengthening their midfield these days. Because Pogba is still absent due to the same reason. I don't have any expectation left from him anymore. Juventus must also be wishing to get rid of him as soon as possible. Filling his place in the team with an active decent player would be great for Juventus.

Hojbjerg is a really good midfielder. If they don't have anyone better on their radar I think they should go for him. Their cost wouldn't be too high for Juventus I assume. His current contract ends in less than two years. Maybe he would also like some new adventure.

If Arsenal can succeed to sign a world class defender like Matthijs de Ligt, then it'll be a great addition to the current squad and would further increase their chances of winning an English Premier League title at the end of the season. Right from his days at Ajax before he was transferred to Juventus and now Bayern Munich, de Ligt is one defender that possesses the leadership qualities of marshaling out the defense line of any team he's playing in abd if he can be convinced to come to.the Emirates stadium, then it'll surely be a great signing for them.

That being said, I think it'll not be easy for such deal to go through as Bayern Munich are currently in need of defenders. Benjamin Pavard is currently injured and that's why the club wouldn't want to release de Ligt

I don't think Bayer Munich will sell Matthijs de Light, he is the main player in Bayern Munich. It is impossible that Bayern Munich will lose one of their great defenders, they need de Light because they will play harder matches in the second half of the season. Although they plan to sign Varane, no guarantee to sign Varane successfully because I heard a rumor that Real Madrid may negotiate with Man United to sign Varane, too. We also don't know whether Varane could play better than de Light in Bayern Munich. Another thing, it is true that Varane is no longer young player. It is better to keep de Light than signing Varane, right?  

If Arsenal has a lot of money, it is not a problem to sign new defenders and attackers. Although Timber will recover and he will return soon, Arsenal still needs a new defender to ensure their squad depth.
