Last season's EPL golden glove winner still deserves to be at the highest level in Europe and there is nothing wrong with Newcastle signing him. It may only be an offer of one to two seasons and basically David De Gea is a good goalkeeper but he has been thrown out of the Manchester United squad.

I am curious about the expressions and feelings of the Red Devils fans when they see their flagship goalkeeper return to the EPL with a different club and there are definitely those who feel disappointed or annoyed with the decision of management and Erik Ten Hag. Well, let's just wait for the development of this transfer and if this happens in the near future it will be quite a shocking transfer before the January transfer window opens.

No doubt that if newcastle is looking for a new goal keeper. De gea is the only best option owned by newcastle right now. De gea is fully experienced goal keeper to play in EPL. No doubt that if eddie howe has been also trying to take him as probably secondary goal keeper. It will be a very nice offer for de gea caused by he will be playing in one of big club in the EPL right now. I do support this. It's really understandable for us to know why newcastle chooses de gea instead of other goal keeper.
De gea is fully experienced goal keeper combined he was also become even more mature. Playing in the newcastle may give him new impression that can also change his performance.
De gea was good but he was to often making blunder when he was playing for manchester united. De gea deserves another chance to play in the EPL as well. I hope this news is coming true.
It's not only fake rumor.

Recently, there have been many rumors suggesting that Liverpool is actively pursuing Mbappe's signature, and I find this quite surprising. However, I think it signifies a shift in tradition for two reasons. First, Liverpool has not been a team that frequently splashes the cash for blockbuster transfers; it's not their style. Second, personally, I feel Mbappe might not prefer playing in the Premier League in general, and Liverpool, in particular. The glamour of Real Madrid seems more appealing to him.
The likelihood of Mbappe renewing his contract with PSG is quite low due to recent conflicts and disagreements between him and coach Luis Enrique. It would be challenging to perform well when there's such discord between a key player and the coach. It's also time for Mbappe to seek new triumphs for himself. He's still young and should venture into more competitive leagues than Ligue 1.
Currently, there are too many options for Mbappe to consider where he fits both in terms of playing style and the potential to win the titles he lacks to be on par with Ronaldo and Messi as one of the world's top players.

There are many cheap strikers. You have mentioned only the expensive strikers and what about guirassy? This guy has around 17 millions release clause. If we are talking about the performance of new strikers in the new club. It totally depends on the how they can adapt to the club.
Buying the expensive striker didn't guarantee if that striker will able to deliver for the club. So numerous times various clubs have proven that they bought expensive players for nothing.
Just like antony and mount on manchester united. Those guys bought with very expensive price but manchester united has got nothing from all of them. They keep deliver horrible performance for the club.

The cheap striker didn't mean they were bad. Sometimes, they were not in the good place. The new place may be able to replace their mentality to be even better than before too.
People are also aware of how some cheap strikers performing even better in the new club. It is not always about a striker which is very popular.

You are absolutely correct on your point of not seeing Vlahovic as the attacker that Arsenal should follow,I personally do not like the Vlahovic,I just think he won't be able to give the gunners what they need too,Gabriel Jesus is a good attacker when He wants to play and score goals,the problem with him is that he lacks positioning,and that alone is what Arsenal fans dislike him for.If they want to bring in another attacker,it should be either Osimhen or Ivan Toney,atleast Toney has premier league experience,and he can play the pattern of football at Arsenal.Gabriel Jesus is only doing well in the champions league,but it is not good that he doesn't score goals in the premier league.He should try and score goals in the premier league so that Arsenal can be able to rely on him

It must be like that. I have seen barcelona linked to the morata but what difference between him and lewandowski. Morata was only a few years younger than him. I see no point in getting morata as a new striker for barcelona. Lewandowski has been coming to the end of his career as a striker.
He shall consider what next step to be taken by him. I do believe that if morata will not be leaving from atletico madrid. People have known so well. The decline of lewandowski performance has become the main reason why xavi is willing to sell him.
Who will be the club that interested to buy him other than saudi pro league club? If lewandowski will be leaving from barcelona as a free agent and it means barcelona has no right to get money from selling him.
Barcelona shall not terminate his contract if the club was willing to sell him for some money. I do aware if this is also the main reason why barcelona goes bankrupt in the future.

It is not easy to find "cheap" strikers neither, and yes we are getting closer to winter break so whatever amount they have left in the bank they could spend it all but who could they even get? You know they can't get Haaland, or even Mbappe (who is not a pure striker, more like left winger) Osimhen? Way too expensive, Lautaro Martinez? Way too expensive, they really can't get any striker that would be better than Jesus right now, I am not saying they do not need one, but there is just no possibility of it. I am all for them getting some 20-30 million euro type of striker for the bench, to create some depth, which would allow them to have freedom during the league games, but not a "better" striker than what they have.

You can't be completing for the league and  champions league with Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah as your strikers. I'm sorry but those are not players you rely on. They're good to a certain level but they're not world class. Arsenal needs at least one world class strikers. A striker than can creat something out of nothing. A striker that can lead the attack. The lack of that kind of striker won't be felt much now because Arsenal are playing well and scoring goals, but the time things get though and they'll need a striker that will score the only opportunity needed to win the game, that's where you'll understand how important a world class striker really is.
I'm not even too satisfied with Vlahovic that Arsenal are going after. He's good but I don't think he's what Arsenal need.
I feel Arsenal should go for a player like Osimhen.

Satisfaction doesn't fill any manager's mind when it comes to football. Arsenal does have top strikers in the club, though Mikel Arteta keen on bringing in tough decisions and replacement for the frontlines, he needs new set of frontlines that would do the job of a  striker and not some random players that simply foot in the space and they celebrate. Mikel Arteta is not satisfied with his team's present results, they have to fight really hard to become the best among the best, that's the goal for every club in EPL this season. Arsenal frontlines are build with high quality players that are confident infronts of goals this season.

Arsenal need a striker with a big name because I think Gabriel Jesus is a complete failure, he didn't meet up with the club objective and aims. He was a big boy in Manchester City but he is not out to use back then and Arsenal needed him to play the 9 but upon coming to the club, on his first 12 matches, he only as scores 5 goals but after he got injury and Nketkiah took over, he score 9 goals in 10 appearance, who do you think is better but they don't value Nketkiah that much.


If Arteta quest to get another good striker from Juventus become successful, they will sell Jesus out because it seems that Juventus are having much interest in buying Gabriel and it's going to be a perfect swap for Vlahovic to get a new striker or they may go for Ivan Tony as their next interest of the striker.

It is surprising if Newcastle wants to sign De Gea because they actually have 4 goalkeepers (Nick Pope, Martin Dúbravka, Loris Karius, Mark Gillespie). If Nick Pope must take a rest for few months, there are still 3 goalkeepers to replace the position. Those goalkeepers are experienced enough, they are all old goalkeepers who have been more than 30 years old. If Newcastle signs De Gea, they will have another old goalkeeper.

Well, if we consider the quality of De Gea, it is quite good to have him on the squad. De Gea is one of the top goalkeepers in his prime era, he also have a lot of experience both in Man United and Spanish national team. There is no harm to sign him, especially if he doesn't demand a high salary. Newcastle also doesn't need to pay the transfer fees because his status is free agent.

Manchester United never did want to bring back Degea, if not they will have gotten him. Manchester United already a back up keeper who is actually highly regarded in the Turkish league. Altay Bayindir is ok to deputize for Onana if he leaves for the AFCON and then they have an experienced Tom Heaton again on the bench. In as much as I love De gea and would want him to come back and get a befitting sendOff, it will be a bad decision to bring him back because that will cause stir in the dressing room. Even as Onana is making mistakes in the team, I don’t think they need to bring in Degea but rather create competition between Altay and him. Should Degea come back Erik Ten Hag will lose the dressing room as players will split on opinion of him leaving again and players like Sancho will be expected to be called back too.

As for Newcastle, it is the best chance to bring in another competitive goalkeeper with experience and leadership to help lead this young squad to the future. Degea is well suited to Newcastle to avoid all the unnecessary pressure and rumors in Manchester United.

The once coordinated Manchester United have turn out to become one of the challenging club in EPL this season. Manchester united have lost quite important players this season and it's unimportant for the standard level of such a club to withheld poor performance in matches. The presence of Erik Ten Hag in Manchester United have ruined things for the club. Due to his ignorant actions in Old Trafford and him having issued with players is probably not we wants at the moment. David de Gea have served Manchester United all these years and leaving in a total dishonor.

No doubt that De Gea had an outstanding career, but what I disliked about him in the maybe last two years or so is that he became more and more prone to errors during the game. He was rock solid for a long time, but the number of mistakes gradually increased and it felt as sometimes his own defense doesn't trust him. The full story though would be that he also couldn't trust his own defense either, which made it mutually complicated among the players responsible for defending their own goal. I didn't like how ten Hag treated him in the end because that was dishonorable, but I am not so sure whether other first class clubs would still take him.

David De Gea is a masterful goalkeeper. He also has the capability to do well in the GK role. Besides that, Saudi Arabia will not be good for David De Gea because he is still young and can play at top level, i.e., in Europe. Saudi Arabia is the place where players can spend the rest of their lives and earn money. While European football is a prominent sport where players need to do their best to achieve their status, Newcastle United would be quiet well for David De Gea because there X11 goalkeeper got injured and is out for the rest of the season and the club need a solid goalkeeper who's willing to take his place and give his contribution to the club. So I think buying David De Gea on loan will not be good because when Pop recovers from injury, his place will fill up. So their club needs to buy David De Gea on loan not permanently. Just for the season loan.

It was inevitable, and the only reason Robert Lewandowski's transfer was made possible from Bayern, was because Barcelona were desperate to get a striker during their bad spell. And now that age is catching up with our Polish striker, the Catalanians now want to jump ship which is fine as younger players need to be ushered in for the next generation of the Barca team.

Loan option is a good idea if he turns out to be a performer and doesn't need more time to cope with the new team, but issue will be if he turns out to be too good then before you know it he will be demanding for more money and a source of another problem comes in...

Btw with goalkeepers, I don't think age is much of a factor as these guys don't really need to be active as they do less of the running on the pitch, so this not much of a worry for  David De Gea who should fit in well!

I also saw these rumors, I don't know about the physical condition of Newcastle's goalkeeper, but looking at David De Gea's performance, I am of the opinion that Newcastle would be making a good deal in signing David De Gea, he has always been a good goalkeeper, I don't understand why Manchester United didn't renew his contract and chose to get another goalkeeper who doesn't have the same performance as David De Gea. Newcastle is a team that has a vision, they managed to sign good players without spending a lot of money, so if they manage to sign David De Gea without spending a lot of money, then they will have a good squad with less expense.

I remember an interview that the Newcastle coach gave a few months ago, I no longer remember the source of the interview, but I remember him saying that the team would avoid making too many financial expenses on signing players, he said that the team's priority team was to have a good squad with less expenses and this is very right, because a team needs to be profitable to not collapse, a rumor I heard in the past was that Manchester United no longer wanted to pay a high salary to David De Gea , while he didn't want them to reduce his salary.

and according to the rumor I read in the past, he later accepted that they would reduce his salary, but Manchester United did not agree and had already reached an agreement with another goalkeeper, so David De Gea had to leave. I wonder if he will accept the salary that Newcastle offers him, because I highly doubt that Newcastle will make very high offers, because that is not Newcastle's objective.

That's one way how you can see it and it is true that superstars like Mbappe draw a lot of attention away from others and they make the team focus more on a player like Mbappe. From that point of view it is correct that Kolo Muani is playing well, but when I saw some of his games I thought that he would become even more effective when he plays for PSG with Dembele and Mbappe. But it is still early days for him, he is still young and nobody knows where he could go. Considering that Mbappe might soon leave the club, Kolo Muani does have the potential to fill at least some of the gap that Mbappe will leave behind.

The Catalan side FC Barcelona is on the way to sell Robert Lewandowski this summer:
FC Barcelona is recognizing the need to sell the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski this summer due to his lack of performance. Robert Lewandowski has already turned 35 years old, for he became older with the passage of time, and his performance status is getting lower as compared to previous years, so I think it is the point that Barcelona is considered Robert Lewandowski has scored seven goals in the whole La Liga competition this season. It seems fair, but I think this is not as well played as the performance status expected by a big club like Barcelona.

Their contract is still under way with Barcelona until 2026. Some media reports say that Barcelona will terminate his contract and sell him next summer to a free agent. Barcelona needs a new passionate player who performs well with club tactics and does all of his best for his club. The second thing is that Robert Lewandowski has become old and will not be able to play more with the required creatira from Barcelona. Therefore, the club is emphasizing bringing up some new young talent. Maybe the young talent will be Earling Haaland, Killyan Mbappe, Victor Osimen, Darwin Núñez, et cetera.

What did you think, guys? Which striker can be next door, and who can solve the missing puzzle for Barcelona?

An option as a loan for 1 season would be better, not a permanent contract?

David De Gea is now quite old, if for example Newcastle only brought in to replace Pope during the recovery of 1 season then I think De Gea would be very suitable he is still quite skilled despite his age.

With the surgery that has been done is it likely to affect his performance? Moreover, using glasses for clearer vision for him.
But I think this is just a rumor not necessarily and I read the news that indeed David De Gea is very open to the offer.
