Arsenal have been doing well this season but there are still vital positions that need strengthening in attack and attacking midfield areas. A striker and a winger is needed to boost the team’s attack. I am guessing Ivan Toni but Brentford are thinking about raising his value which we know Arsenal will not want to spend too much on a deal for Toni. We shall see in January who Arsenal will target.
Vlahovic, last season this guy was very popular in Arsenal's transfer rumor. Grin

Brentford can't really raise Ivan Toney value since he has a long break in this season, that's make Arsenal can use this excuse to get Toney cheaper.

Arsenal don't need to sign more wingers, they already have Saka and Martinelli which fill the right and left wing.

Arsenal looking at one signing currently this window as it stands, likely a Striker or Winger 🤝They also want to be smart with the deal they strike, for example something similar to the Raya deal 💵. Arsenal is expecting  to spend big again in the summer window 👀. Lest see who their target is. Am guessing it might be Ivan Toney Or Boni face. Also we are expecting to see Timber's twin brother to join Arsenal as a RB am not sure but that is the Rumohr everywhere.

Mbape is lonely ever since Messi and Neymar left. There wasn't too much chemistry with Messi but I know of Neymar and that is why he is still struggling everyday to match up with Dembele and Muani to keep the team in better place for the club. Chelsea is not too different than PSG, they are even worse because PSG are in good place in domestic league than Chelsea that sit in number 10 struggling. Mbape also need the Champions League, if he should come to Chelsea, it will take him years before such can happen with this their poor form.

 Imagine their domestic club, a team that ended in 9th place last season is currently sitting on number one spot on the League 1 table, that is shameful to PSG coming from a club that hasn't win a trophy since 2000. I think France played there self do much for depending on Mbape for winning the world cup but perhaps they will not give him much interested by next season if they fail to win the Champions League this season.

Maybe sometimes Mbappe had personal issues with Messi or Neymar while they were playing together. But on the pitch there was a really solid level performance from this trio. However the problem was that Neymar was very injury prone and we didn't see this trio playing together in most of the matches throughout a season.

Now Mbappe has different and younger teammates around him in the attacking area. For now there is no injury problem for any of them too. However I doubt they will have the same coherence as Mbappe's with superstars like Messi and Neymar.  Sad

I agree with you, perhaps Real Madrid's efforts at that time were to give a statement regarding their closeness to Kylian Mbappe. Madrid said they had never made an offer before and that was just to maintain their pride as a big club because Mbappe could be said to be a star player who had just shone while Real Madrid was a club. The big club has several times been a place for quality players, world star players, so it will be more normal, but when the time comes, maybe Real Madrid will make an offer to Mbappe and if it is rejected again, maybe one day Mbappe will want to go to Real Madrid, it will always be rejected.

Real Madrid is going to find another player if they cannot get Mbappé for sure. But if Mbappé is stuck and cannot move away from PSG, it is going to cause him a lot of harm. He still has a very long way to go in his career. And he would surely like to have a lot of achievements under his name. But if he keeps playing for PSG, I think he is not going to be able to do that, to be honest. He has been playing for PSG for quite a long time now. But he is yet to do anything in the Champions League with his team. And I think we all can agree that the Champions League trophy is definitely something that he wishes he had already. And if he was actually with Real Madrid, he would have definitely got that.
For Florentino Perez, the club is above all else and does not want Madrid's big name to be played by one player whose only intention is about salary. Therefore, Mbappe must be able to position himself and no matter how big he is now, with all the fame reported by the media, it cannot make Madrid have to beg and submit like PSG did. So in my opinion a club as big as PSG will lose confidence if they let Mbappe go. That is also the reason PSG insists on retaining Mbappe.

On the other hand, Madrid has the freedom to determine which striker they want to choose and give them a special place as the main striker. But what is certain is that this player has a vision that is in line with what Madrid wants to achieve. Achievements and trophies are just bonuses as long as they can provide mutual understanding to each other.

During the summer transfer window, Saudi Arabian clubs and even Chelsea were willing to spend money to sign Mbappé, but he rejected that offer. Perhaps Mbappé's purpose is too clear. The next destination he wants to go to is Real Madrid.
Mbappé gradually realized that his career could not develop at PSG, just like his senior "Neymar" had his career ruined there. He should decide to leave soon. The right to decide whether to go or stay belongs to him. He should not foolishly tie himself to PSG. And whether Real Madrid wants to sign him or not, they haven't decided yet, but I think they are eager to get Mbappé.

Mbappe is really at a very big point of his career. Here any decision will be the turning point around his career with Real Madrid slowly losing interest in the French forward, I think he’s gonna be so quick to chose another destination so that he can continue to flourish, but sincerely I think Real Madrid might still come for him owing to the fact that the lack of a striker is what’s the missing piece in their formidable team.

It's like Mbappe is trapped at PSG, he doesn't get the opportunity to play for another club, because PSG always prevents him from playing in other leagues by setting a price that is too high to be accepted by other clubs who want to sign him. Madrid is currently still hoping for Mbappe, but if PSG is reluctant to reduce Mbappe's price, I'm sure Madrid will start forgetting about Mbappe until PSG can't get a contract extension signed. Or it could be that Madrid has lost interest in him. EPL club? I don't know, the price can be a challenge for EPL club to sign him.
And this will indirectly reduce Mbappe achievements on the European stage. It is true that PSG continues to block his departure to other clubs, especially Madrid, so the alibi of setting a price is a reasonable option for them and considers the French player to be the most expensive player so far. Actually, there is nothing to lose for Madrid because for next season they are still focused on finding a pure striker who can be brought in. Any star player would want to play for Las Blancos and that would be a big dream. As the biggest club, Madrid must maintain its pride and not beg PSG. In this way, PSG will feel the impact themselves because they continue to be an obstacle for Mbappe in developing his career in Europe.

Actually problem for top players not comfortable although bigger payment salary with top teams but difficult with regular position, seems Kalvin Phillips will priority with another team who guarantee with more minutes playing and leaves Manchester City as soon possible if have any interested teams want to sign him.
Because Philips still want to contribute more and still has something he want to achieve in his individual achievements so that when not too glimpsed  by Pep and not given much playing time then indeed he wants more for his individual career. 
But indeed this is like a law of nature where his performances is lost in competing. so it is certain that he willn't be too cared for, especially in the Manchester City squad which must  be full of competition in it because Pep is always looking for many talented young players.

At the moment he  is  reportedly being eyed by several Serie A club suvh as Juventus and Milan, it's just that this is also not easy to leave. 

Kalvin Phillips is 27 years old and almost 28 years old. even in the Premier League Pep only played him 4 times this season. It's clear he finds it difficult to compete with the names in the Man City squad.
If he is no longer part of Pep's plans, there is no harm in Man City giving Kalvin Phillips the opportunity to grow and show his potential with another club. at Man City, he is difficult to compete with and Pep certainly won't see his potential. but if at another club Kalvin Phillips was allowed to play more time that could be good.
Rumor has it that Juventus is very interested, as is Milan, who might disrupt negotiations if they make a better offer.

Kalvin Phillips shouldn't have left Leeds if he wanted to be a regular starter. Because it was obvious that his job was going to be really difficult about taking the shirt in the starting lineup. He is actually a talented defensive midfielder. But when there are so many solid alternatives like him it is harder to be a regular as a starter.

Not being able to play regularly and for so much time would probably affect his chance of being called to England national team as well. I assume he will end up with signing for a mid level team in the near future. It would be better for him if he is ambitious to play more often.
Actually Kalvin Phillips not leaves Leeds United if won't loss regular position exactly Manchester City have many top midfielder and make difficult for Kalvin Phillips keep in the regular position on every games. Have interested rumor from Newcastle United want to sign him after suspend of Sandro Tonali until the end this season and Newcastle need recovery on midfielder position. I think this good opportunity for Kalvin Phillips leaves Manchester City in winter transfer window opening because he still loss compete to be Manchester City regular players although he was be second season with Man City.

Actually problem for top players not comfortable although bigger payment salary with top teams but difficult with regular position, seems Kalvin Phillips will priority with another team who guarantee with more minutes playing and leaves Manchester City as soon possible if have any interested teams want to sign him.

It looks like Kalvin Phillips wont be wrong if he chooses Manchester city in the future transfer market because I think it is an opportunity for him to be part of the Manchester city team. We can see that Manchester city last season won many titles in all competitions including the champions League, he definitely want to to be part of this great team because not all players have the same opportunity to get an offer from a great team like Manchester city, even though they dont have enough minutes to play and it is not necessarily possible that the team will change when he arrives.

Rumor: https://www.goal.com/en/news/david-de-gea-manchester-united-talks-la-liga-club-january-transfer/
Quote
According to reports, De Gea is eager to return to Spain after having spent almost 13 years in England. Spanish outlet ED writes that Real Betis and De Gea have begun preliminary negotiations, with both parties inclined to make a deal work. Los Verdiblancos are looking to complete the signing as their current number one, Rui Silva, is being linked with an exit from the club this winter, and they only have a 40-year-old Claudio Bravo as cover.
It seems like all of speculations regarding him to rejoin in manchester united was not true. De gea was just training there and he has no intention to join in the manchester united. I don't know the reason many people were talking nonsense rumor.
De gea has been leaving from manchester united and join back in united is having zero chance. De gea makes it clear caused by he will be going to the real betis. betis is a good club for him.
Real betis obviously needs a new goal keeper that can perform brilliantly against other club. The club has seen de gea as the best choice for the club.

Congratulation for de gea to get a new club. Glad you won't join in manchester united again.

Yes it's a problem they've had for years, I'm not trying to compare but in Alex Ferguson's time he could see and sign players they could then rely on. Not only that, they were also successful in recruiting young players or even promoting young players to the first squad and it was a success.
Now what they show is not like their glory days. There are some young players who stand out, like Garnarcho for example, but it still can't make up for their shortcomings in many ways.
They have a lot of work to do in this squad, and it can't be done in a short period of time.
How to bring Manchester United back to their glory:
1. The Glazer's family need to sell Manchester United to the rich person e.g. Sheikh Jassim.
2. Sack Ten Hag, hire top manager.
3. Sell useless players, sign top players.

In the next 3-5 years, we will see Manchester United can be as strong as Manchester City or Arsenal.

You typed it and it was very easy to do so, now will the Glazers sell the club to Sheikh Jassim the Qateris? Hell No! He already pulled out of the race to buy Manchester United and it sucks.
Jim Radcliffe has been in line to buy a part of Manchester United, reports says he'll be in charge of that from Monday. He should be a great support to Erik Ten Hag's system.

Sacking Erik Ten Hag would be dump! No I will not want to see to this even if we have seen most of his tactics going sideways.
He understands the fans ans knows what they want, if he is backed rightly with the perfect players ( God knows I want Kylian Mbappe )
He'll catapult Manchester United towards winning them first Premier League tittle.

There so many players not worthy of wearing that jersey all these years. All of these will be done on God and on Jesus  Grin
Man United really needs a major overhaul, starting from the perspective of club officials and players. The major overhaul scenario you refer to is interesting, but seems very difficult to realize at this time. Firing Ten Hag is also not the right solution, because it might risk worsening the team performance. However management must also listen to fans encouragement. Jim Radcliffe could be the new hope for United revival, and we need to see how will he move in the january transfer window.

Bringing in Mbappe could be an instant solution, even though we know the price is very expensive, that is not a guarantee of success. Say like PSG currently, they have the depth of the squad and the most expensive players, but are not yet favorites in every competition.

Changing the framework of the team As A whole cannot be realized immediately in A short team, but team management can be carried out in stages because Manchester united really need A bigger team overhaul considering the team current performance is not very good, even this season has not been better than The previous season was even worse than the previous season, in my opinion Manchester united must immediately overhaul the team framework As quickly as possible on A regular basis for changes in the come season including selling and buy player who have the potential to change the team to be better in the future, slowly but surely.

If I only imagined, maybe I would imagine Haaland arrival at Los Blancos. Cheesy

we all really understand what Madrid current situation is without a striker, they are able to perform very well in several competitions and if a great striker arrives, Madrid will definitely be more perfect and will become a very strong team in La Liga, but the problem is that some of the latest rumors are not yet clear whether that is the case. Its true that it will be done because there are lots of rumors circulating linking Madrid with other players but I really really hope that at least Ancelotti really understands that the attack line needs a truly talented striker.
I am afraid Ancelotti will only continue to rely on Bellingham and Vinicius and prefer to improve the defense line while the attack line needs players who are strong enough and younger, which is much better and makes more sense.

he should've made it to Pep Guardiola's first team but how can you drop Rodri for Kalvin Philips? I would consider Pep Guardiola insane!
I believe before the agreement Pep has been tell Philips to become a substitute player except he can play better than the current Manchester City's midfielders. So it's really not make sense to blame Pep here, it's the risk that Philips need to accept.

I assume he will end up with signing for a mid level team in the near future. It would be better for him if he is ambitious to play more often.
He already get a good amount salary in Manchester City, he wouldn't want to feel by getting paid with small salary. He will choose to join other rich league e.g. Saudi Pro League.

Lol. Kalvin Philips would've been struggling with Leeds United in the Championship if he had not leave for Manchester City. Besides, it would be every players dream to work with Pep Guardiola so why stay with Leeds United when you can work with the best coach and manager? With his qualities when they first retuned to the Premier League, he should've made it to Pep Guardiola's first team but how can you drop Rodri for Kalvin Philips? I would consider Pep Guardiola insane!

With the Euro's approaching speedily, most players with less game time are on the move because they'll want to impress for the next six months. That's so they could be picked by the managers of them countries.


I do not follow Premier League so much.
Is he a good player? or just one of the many who can be replaced with almost any player?

He would fit in well Into Juventus. He's technical, physical and composed. If he can quickly adapt,then it's yours truly at the end of it all!
Considering they've lost Paul Pogba and the gambler, believe me, they need Kalvin and he needs a team his game to game time is mandatory. It could be the Old Ladies!

Yes the 3 ways you said is something that I have in mind too. In the first point I wouldn't say who they should sell to, but they should sell to someone who is serious about managing the club.
The second point, I think there are many people who would think like that.
In the third point, besides they have to bring in top players, they also have to start regenerating, because that will be their foundation for the future. And now many top clubs are doing that, we can see the changes made by Arsenal, Real Madrid's regeneration in La Liga and many more.
Not only in the third method, but all of these methods have big opportunity to change Manchester United for the better.
Firstly, Sheikh Jassim wealth means Manchester United has large budget to find players and coaches they can really rely on.
Second, Ten Hag is not worthy to coach Manchester United and now it is time for him to be replaced with another coach who is more qualified and capable of bringing about change.
Thirdly, there are too many Manchester United players who are not very useful, especially the young players they have who cannot change the quality of this squad's game.
I agree with what @Despairo said
But the problem is that when Glazer still insists on remaining in full control of Mamchester United, not only one or two offers come to them, but often the offer is submitted even the proposal comes at twice the price. They don't want to let go of this club easily, actually I have no problem with that as long as they are also serious in managing the club. But the fact that we see now is not the case, they only seem to prioritize their busines on behalf of Manchester United. Even some time ago the fans rallied to demand that the Glazers sell Manchester United, but they ignored it.
In reality the Glazer family can't do much to bring about change for Manchester United, wouldn't this just speak ill of them?
I know the Glazer family also has enormous wealth but they failed to build the Manchester United squad back into the English giant it was several years ago and if conditions like this continue then we will never see Manchester United truly become team to be afraid of.

Many people also think that the Glazer family made Manchester United just business to make more money and some offers were rejected because they wanted to get a really higher price.
It normal for things like this to happen, but they are too concerned with personal goals without thinking that Manchester United needs change and needs serious treatment.

I sure that in the next season or two, if the Glazer family is still like this, Manchester United will really experience their worst phase in the history of English football.
Honestly, it would be shame if a big team like Manchester United had to fall victim to an owner who doesn't really care about the team he owns.

It's like Mbappe is trapped at PSG, he doesn't get the opportunity to play for another club, because PSG always prevents him from playing in other leagues by setting a price that is too high to be accepted by other clubs who want to sign him.
The situation is currently in Mbappe's hands, his contract expires at the end of this season and he is yet to sign a new contract, neither does he intend to extend his contract, thus it isn't in PSG's hands this time around, it is Mbappe's turn to decide if he wants to leave the club or not, and i think he is going to leave. From all indications, Mbappe is going to leave PSG to Real Madrid for free, he has to take this next big step in his career and give himself the opportunity to win the CL, which is a major trophy he has to win in order to get the opportunity of winning the Ballon D'or.

During the summer transfer window, Saudi Arabian clubs and even Chelsea were willing to spend money to sign Mbappé, but he rejected that offer. Perhaps Mbappé's purpose is too clear. The next destination he wants to go to is Real Madrid.

The right to decide whether to go or stay belongs to him. He should not foolishly tie himself to PSG. And whether Real Madrid wants to sign him or not, they haven't decided yet, but I think they are eager to get Mbappé.
Chelsea is not yet stopped it. Chelsea failed due to the unreasonable price given by PSG. This is also the main reason why chelsea was failed to get him. Mbappe has been performing so well.
He is still having only a half of season in the PSG. This is going to be another difficult thing. Real madrid will decide it once mbappe will leaves from there as free agent.
Nothing clear this time as real madrid seems try to hold this as long as possible. I think that real madrid will be surprising us next year by announcing to sign mbappe as a new player.

I don't think it's a matter of left and right wing positions that is an obstacle to recruiting Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, but because PSG is not giving way to any team at the moment because PSG would rather keep him than sell him.
Trust me, the interest Real Madrid had before Mbappé signed for one more year was way more than the interest they have for him now. They even offered over 200M to PSG for him, very well knowing he had only one year left.

This time round, when Mbappé refused to sign a contract extension and PSG were desperate to at least get some money out of him, Real Madrid didn't even make any bid, not even a verbal agreement. Why do you think so?

I don't think the problem with Kylian Mbappe playing on the left wing is a problem because usually a professional player can play on both sides, left and right, we can see that like Real Madrid super start C.Ronaldo he can play on the left and right and we can see that in one 90 minute match he can change positions how many times in the game, and I think kylian Mbappe can play on the left and right too.
Are you trying to compare Ronaldo's ability to switch wings to Mbappé's?  Cheesy
And also I didn't say he can't switch wings but to get the best out of him, he performs so well from the left wing. Ronaldo on the other hand is Ronaldo.
