I'm pleased that to see Myhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, and Moises Caicedo getting back on track, they're the future players of the Blues; they're truly working together to achieve tremendous achievements this season.
The biggest title that Chelsea can win this season is the carabao cup, they do not stand a chance of finishing in top four this season and making champions league qualification. There is a bright future in the club considering the young players that they have been able to bring to the club, we thought that it will be this season that Chelsea fix up their mess from last season and return to the standard of the club we used to know, but it does not look like this season, maybe the next one after this.

Actually in this case all factors can be at fault in my opinion because it is not only about the coach, the decisions chosen by the players as well as the very fast turnover of the club owner's policy makes the condition even worse.
Mudryk, Enzo and even Caicedo are young players with potential but the EPL for Enzo and Mudryk was too fast and they didn't adjust well and for Caicedo he ended up like Potter which could have been the wrong decision for him. He is good but Chelsea is too different from Brighton because after his move his performance dropped drastically and that is an undeniable fact. It's not just Chelsea's problem but Caicedo's as well who is having a hard time adapting.
Chelsea performance is quite improving, I'm conversant with the Chelsea squad; they're inconsistent due to the integration of new players who are attempting to amalgamate together. These new players have faced challenges and are currently doing everything they can to showcase an amazing performance this season.

Before joining Chelsea, the players were performing more or less normally in their teams, so maybe it's the choice of coach? Obviously you can build a good team without big names in the squad, and when you have them, it's even easier, so I think Chelsea made a mistake with the choice of coach and maybe they will change him soon

The ability to adapt is also an important factor for a good player, so this point in these players is a disadvantage by this logic. And anyway, how long have they been in the team? I think adaptation takes a month at most, maybe a month and a half. They would be given a normal set-up for the game, try to play differently with them, maybe something would work out, but no, nothing of this is used
Warren Zaïre-Emery is the top candidate for a new midfielder on Manchester City's radar and it is reported that Pep Guardiola really wants him. He is a talented young midfielder belonging to PSG and since playing for PSG several times he has scored 1 goal and 2 assists. I think if Pep Guardiola really wants it then there are other things that we as ordinary people can't see and certainly his future will be more secure if he is in the hands of the right coach. On the other hand, the costs are quite expensive for young newcomers and perhaps Manchester City will try to take an approach to reach an ideal agreement. Will PSG let him go? considering he is one of the players PSG needs at the moment.
Ivan Toney is a really good and strong striker. Of course he has some issue but it doesn't affects anything on his qualities at all. He is a very good finisher of the ball and really lethal in counter-attacks. He and Mbeumo last season had combined to score lot of goals for Brentford. I am not surprised that he is getting interests from big clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal because in moment of controversies the actual club also might try to sell the player for a low value but it seems Brentford still highly values their main striker Ivan Toney.
He might be good, but what he done wasn't good because he get banned due to breach betting rules. He's not playing since March and the ban will last for 8 months, his current market value is 45 Million Euros, so Brenford is demanding two times higher than his market value.I doubt a big team will interested to spend such big amount of money, Toney is like Son, if he's really good why there's no big team want to sign him when he was young isn't?
Ivan Toney may not be back yet but he has been playing soccer behind close door games. 45 Million Euros for Ivan Toney is worth it, let me say he will make better impact than most of Manchester United attacking players right now.
Arsenal was amongst clubs chasing Ivan Toney and I've also wanted to see that. With Gabriel Jesus most likely absent, Nketiah not consistent, Ivan Toney will be a perfect backing for Mikel Arteta's squad.
Let go of the past. Now he has all it takes to succeed in the Premier League. Either of Chelsea and Arsenal would be chasing after him.
Wasn't it some time ago that there was news that Mbappe extended the contract for one season but with a note that he would still be allowed to leave (not as a free agent but sold).
I don't know the continuation of this and indeed whether this is true or not because I searched for some of the same articles some opinions and some rumors made the difference because some said it was true and some said it was just a rumor.
I think it is a rumor only, dude. If we check the profile of Mbappe, there is no change in his contact. His contract is still to expire in 2024. I'm sure if he extends his contact again, it will hurt Real Madrid although it is for 1 season only. We already know that he is rumored to get a personal agreement with Real Madrid. It means it is the final decision that Mbappe will leave PSG after his current contract expires.I don't know the continuation of this and indeed whether this is true or not because I searched for some of the same articles some opinions and some rumors made the difference because some said it was true and some said it was just a rumor.
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11820/12939282/kylian-mbappe-future-psg-forward-committed-to-club-and-expected-to-extend-contract-to-2025
But looking at the current conditions with Mbappe still there I think the rumors are true because in the end by looking at the ultimatum that PSG gave earlier and Mbappe still did not accept it then I think Mbappe will not be in the squad now which means that he extended the contract for one season this is true but on the other hand he must also be let go next season.
If he is still in PSG squad now, it is because his contact doesn't expire yet. Well, the rumors about Mbappe will be always there, we can't stop new rumors. It is because the media wants to get the advantage form Mabppe's rumors.
I think he will fight back again racism. He is a strong player and he really loves being at Madrid. I don't think just due to mere racism he will leave Madrid. I think he also had fight back in court about some racism issue recently couple of months ago. So I don't think he will leave Madrid just due to racism. He really should focus on his game and let these things not affect his game. I am sure his teammates will also be supporting him in these times which also can make change these decisions if he is thinking so.
Vinicius Junior knows the benefits of being a Realmadrid player, and therefore won't be moved by Racial attacks to leave a club where he gets achievement that would offer him lots of recognition in years to come, and I believe he'll extend his contract for a long term with Realmadrid where his heart belongs to.
I think Toney deserves this value because he played successful matches in Brentford. His name is mentioned with Chelsea and Arsenal and I think he can easily play in both teams. A quality player always stands out and I think Toney proved that a long time ago. Of course, these teams should make good economic calculations if they are going to pay £ 100 M for him.
Ivan Toney is good but I don't think he's worth £100M.
He hasn't proved himself at the top level to be worth that much. He has not even won the Golden Boot in the EPL to be worth that much, no Champions League experience, and no big club experience. 60 to 70 million should be the maximum price tag.
Then there is the fact that he has not played any competitive football for about 8 months before he will be ready. His football ban will end in January and I don't think any club would want to take that gamble for 100m.
If Chelsea can buy Toney for 100 million then why didn't they just go all out for Kane instead? Chelsea is not a well-run club so I won't be surprised if they sign Toney for 100 million but I doubt any other club would be ready to spend that much on a player just coming back from an 8 months ban.
Brentford are just trying to make most out of Toney's sale. They know the demand of him in the market and with so many clubs going after him someone might really touch that 100m tag. It's not about achievements but it's more about how much value he holds to the current club. Right now if he leaves, Brentford has to go through a long hassle in order to acquire a centre forward and develop him in top player in 2-3 years. I think it is bit fair from Brentford's view as well.
What happened at Manchester United is actually quite surprising because what they have shown this season is the opposite of last season, even though they have spent quite a lot of money to strengthen their squad, perhaps Manchester United's talent scouts are not as sharp in spotting potential players, with them having been eliminated in The Carabao Cup will increase the pressure that they have to be better in the English Premier League and Champions League, but the Champions League is a difficult competition for them to beat. Buying players in the next transfer window might be a solution, although it is possible that it will be like Chelsea, which did not bring about significant changes to the club, so Manchester United's condition is truly confusing. There may be surprising news that the current coach will be replaced by another if the situation does not improve soon.
Man United so far this season- StrugglinggggggggTheir current win percentage is at 46%, but I have doubts that it will decrease further by the end of this season if no action is taken.
Despite spending a significant amount to money to strengthen their squad, the manager is in dire need of a top-notch goal scorer and an excellent goalkeeper. Oddly, these were available but were benched and not given contract renewals, leaving the manager in a perplexing situation. The team's unity among players is lacking, and I don't see any positive energy among them. It seems like the Glazers purchased everything the coach wanted, but the team is struggling. Now the coach might even face the risk of being fired.
I am sensing it will be too late but if they keep ETH a bit more, after the winter break we are going to see a great United team. You will see after January this United team (unless there are a lot of injuries) will be an amazing team and they are going to end up with amazing playing and changes for sure.
I hope he has a very good mentality to not care about racism against him. Don't let things like this make his career not go well. He is a very talented player and that must be recognized. Real Madrid is the right place for him.
Even if he leaves Real Madrid, is there a guarantee that racism against him will disappear? Of course not or even more than what he received at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid should be a comfortable place for the players they have. They can make him comfortable from the inside, even if the pressure comes from the outside.

I doubt Vini Jr. will leave his favorite club because of racism.
He has become "a powerful weapon" against racism, he is the voice of all black football players, and he is an excellent player.
It is obvious that he will suffer retaliation from all sides, whether playing for Real Madrid or any other team.
Proof of all this was the award that Vinícius Júnior received during the Ballon d'Or ceremony... the Sócrates Award, received in recognition of his political engagement and activism. The trophy was presented to the Brazilian striker in recognition of the services provided to society by the Vini Jr. Institute, a project aimed at educating young people through sport, founded in 2020.
Continue your journey Vini!!!

On the one hand, Vinny is right and maybe La Liga needs to be tougher with aggressive fans who make racist chants in stadiums (what are the damn stewards doing? Why don’t they identify these people?). But on the other hand, it seems to me that he needs to understand certain facts: if they want to insult you (fans of another team want this), then they will cling to anything and racism has nothing to do with it at all. If he was a believer, he could be insulted on religious topics, if he was gay, then on sexual topics, etc. Paradoxically, racist slurs do not indicate racism.
Vinicius Junior is going to stay there in Real Madrid and he is not going to change his team any time soon even because of the bad behavior they have with this player. I think there is racism every where and it's not just about La Liga to some a few teams. Changing the league or changing the team is going to help at all. On the other hand, Vini is an important player in Real Madrid and I'm sure they don't want to lose him at all.
I heard that he extended his contract with Real until 2027 so it is obvious that he is staying. But I would like him to concentrate more on football and not on racists (even if there are a lot of them in the football environment) - after all, he cannot change them and why waste energy on them if he needs to concentrate on football? He needs to accept the fact that any star football player lives his whole life under enormous pressure from haters and learn not to pay attention to it.

A quality player always stands out and I think Toney proved that a long time ago. Of course, these teams should make good economic calculations if they are going to pay £ 100 M for him.
In terms of quality, no one doubts Ivan Toney's ability, but when you look at the market price which is so high, this doesn't show suitability in my opinion. £100 million is still too expensive for this striker's capacity and there are many other potential strikers who have a much cheaper market value but whose quality is above Ivan Toney. The transfer market is always marred by clubs who have a lot of money and Chelsea made several players appear expensive last season because they bought several players at quite expensive prices.Chelsea will have a much better chance than Arsenal when the offer is truly confirmed because they have the money to negotiate. Arsenal have bought some expensive players in the last transfer window and I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to meet the prices demanded by their home clubs now.

We'll see how Erik Ten Hag reacts in this winter's transfer window, whether the Glazers will pay a lot of money to buy players or will he again be hampered by financial problems in recruiting players.
That's if Erik Ten Hag will still have a job by the transfer window, I though he was really handling the crisis in the club well, but it looks like I am wrong. The path that Manchester United are on does not look good, they are no longer in the Carabao cup, they look like they will be out of the champions league soon too, and in the premier league, they are not in a good position and may not find it easy to bounce back and qualify for the champions league of next season.I think it's the time for Ten Hag to to leave no matter how well he performed in the last season but the fact about Ten Hag is he couldn't have a good performance so far in this season and this coach hired poor-performing players and released players like De Gea during the summer which is a good reason to say he couldn't have good players during the summer. I think he is going to leave soon and Manchester United is thinking about a new coach for this season.
It is not going to be as successful as last season. I have looked up what the odds are for Manchester United to finish top 4 and it is around 4.00. This just top 4 and not top 3 as they finished last season. When I saw 7.00, I admit that I was surprised because I thought it is much higher than that. Who does really believe that Manchester United could make it into the top 4 this season? To me this is impossible. Not only are they 8 points behind, but also look at the teams who are currently top 4. They are worlds apart from Manchester United. This is not just a minor problem that will soon be solved and the Manchester United is going to conquer the Premier League.
Honestly, I also highly doubt that they will even be able to finish in a position that will allow them to go to any European championship. something like the European League or Conference League, currently they are doing very poorly in the European Champions League, even though they are lucky to be in an accessible group. in the premier league they are a disaster and now there is news that casemiro was injured
Quote from: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzIpLYcouKr/
Casemiro suffers new injury as he’s set to miss next game vs Fulham
source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzIpLYcouKr/
With this injury to Casimiro, in Saturday's game that Manchester United will play against Fulham, there is a great chance that the game will end in a draw and Manchester United will end up with a loss of points. In my opinion, the problem lies with this coach who also spends money on hiring meaningless players. Manchester United's attack is excellent, see their recent signing and the results they have had so far:
Rasmus Højlund: 7 premier league games and no goals
Honestly, these errors in Manchester United's hiring are serious. This season Marcus Rashford only scored 1 goal in the 10 games he played in the premier league. It seems to me that Manchester United needs a courageous coach to restructure the entire team.
Warren Zaïre-Emery is the top candidate for a new midfielder on Manchester City's radar and it is reported that Pep Guardiola really wants him.

Will PSG let him go? considering he is one of the players PSG needs at the moment.
17 years old? Can't pep find a better candidate than him? I knew he played for PSG but he is too young. Even though pep will be trying to develop him but it will not work. It's caused by pep may require a lot of time to make sure he will be fully developed by pep. I think that is waste of money paying 50 millions to get a 17 years old player. Manchester city needs also to learn from what happened with chelsea at this moment coz the club as too many young players and it was making the club become unstable at this moment. I disagree to pick him from PSG. Manchester city can find a better candidate than him. I would prefer city to pick eberechi zehe instead of him. It's caused by this guy is more experienced compared with warren and it takes a short time for pep to develop him.
Pep can try to approach zehe even though palace was not willing to sell him at this moment. The club can make zehe told palace to sell him for city. Having zehe will be much more beneficial for the club instead of young players like emery.
Chelsea gave very good lesson for pep and city shall not do that. It will be a disaster for city to spend so much money for nothing.
I think that i must call brentford is really smart now and why? Since the club was able surviving in EPL without ivan tooney and the club is starting to give a very high price tag for him.
I can't even imagine that how brentford was seeing the interest from chelsea and arsenal for toney as an opportunity for the club to get money as much as possible. I have seen that if goal has confirmed that if brentford was willing to give 100m price tag for him. This club knew that if chelsea or arsenal might able to pay 100m for him, which is very priced for someone who has been banned since the early season. I think that brentford will not give smaller price tag for him. Im thinking if chelsea will not try to go for him at this moment. I would prefer to see guirassy instead of him. Chelsea needs to reconsider the decision to buy him from brentford. It will be so stupid if chelsea will be fooled by other club once again. Pochettino has been also making complaint toward chelsea's owner regarding so many things that changed in the club. I think that even arsenal and chelsea will think for twice before try to accept such offer from brentford. Quote
Brentford have reportedly put a £100m price tag on their star striker Ivan Toney amid interests from Chelsea and Arsenal.

While Eric Ten Hag is still working on Manchester United and he is not out of the team yet, but there are some news about the possible alternative option for Manchester United if they get Ten Hag fired from the team. Since Manchester United doesn't want to have poor performance with another coach after Ten Hag they are trying to find a better coach and two Spanish coaches, Unai Emery and Julen Lopetegui are both linked to this team.
I would prefer to take emery instead of julen. Emery has proven himself how he was able changing aston villa in a short time even with limited budget raised from selling its players. I would like to see him coaching manchester united. United needs to take a fast move in saving the club from the disaster once ten hag will face another lose. Manchester united is not yet too late to do that but there is also another concern from united. The club may not have players that meet emery's standard.
To be honest of coaching the club like united which didn't have capable players are so hard compared with aston villa. I don't even think emery will also try to accept manchester united's offer.
Just becuase MU is much more popular and it doesn't eevn mean if any coach will accept an offer from manchester united. MU needs also to line up more candidates to be future coach of this club.
Xabi alonso?
