I don't even understand Chelsea this season, even with the amount of money they've spent and new coach they got, they're still very inconsistent, this today they're performing well and the next week they'll have am embarrassing defeat, the team is just so confused,  that's why I'll advice all bettors to avoid betting on Chelsea this season cause they're not a team to rely on instead focus your attention on other EPL teams like Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool and City.

 What suprises me is that they're not participating in a major European competition but their players keeps getting injured, they should be very fit but the reverse is the case, i expected them to be performing like Tottenham after spending alot on signings this season, if Tottenham had sent such amount of money on players I believe Ange Postecoglou could've won the EPL this season.

The thing is that this defeat came as a surprise even for the pessimistic people. I know that Chelsea can't be relied upon as it has been like that for a while, but how on earth could they lose this game like that? Quite impressive that Pochettino is still there. If there is anything the club could do right now, in my opinion it would be to get rid of this horrible coach.

He probably has an amazing contract and Chelsea made the same mistake twice and need to pay him a fortune when he gets sacked. These contracts should be much more success-based and if a coach or a team doesn't deliver, they need to accept big cuts in their payments. But that's not how it works and they can play whatever they want and still count the millions.

It's hard to talk about stability given the defeat to Brentford, but Chelsea's performance seems to be getting better. In general, it’s quite strange that a team with literally one goal for the season (the Premier League, without European Cups and other things) is in such a storm. I think Chelsea fans are already tired of the transitional seasons and want to see a positive result.

I'm quite impressed with their current form given previous experiences additions. Looking at your comprehension, I can tell you're annoyed and frustrated because I can tell you're a Chelsea supporter, and you've just reached out to the suggestions you made, opening up your head and pointing out fundamental appropriate Chelsea insight. On the record, you are correct because the Blues are acquainted with the actions of buying younger players with enormous amounts in transfer window, I'm not saying they should refrain from making young players who are prominent their ultimate target in terms of signings, what I'm speculating on is for the Blues to demonstrate the ability to sign players at lower fee.

All Chelsea knows how to do is to pay huge money for players that donot worth the amount and bring them to Standford bridge to kill their career.I'm not saying this because I hate Chelsea,but because they spend huge amount of money on players and still do not get good results.They aren't really good at signing players.Immagine the amount of money they spent on Caicedo,and Mudryk,but aren't still getting good results,should we say it's the manager's fault? Or should we say the players aren't good enough? Or should we say the management are not hiring the right coaches? Something is really wrong at Chelsea,and they need someone who can identify the problem and be able to solve it.

Spending money is never a problem for Chelsea because they have spent a lot in the transfer market in the previous season. Therefore, I don't think the player is expensive for Chelsea management, and I think they will try signing him since it is Pochettino's choice to sign him in order to stabilize the team midfield because he was complaining that he was not the coach that signed these players. That is why the team is struggling to adapt, but I think the manager has reached a stable performance since the team is now becoming more consistent than they used to be at the beginning of the season.

Indeed, seeing from the current conditions it should be like that but indeed for now it is rumoured that Manchester United are currently getting closer to returning to De Gea especially for some time ahead Onana will definitely not be at Manchester United because he has to fulfil his country's call to defend Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations later.

But indeed if this is done and De Gea agrees again on a short-term contract in my opinion this will be a comedy where previously Manchester United let De Gea and free agent status but now they want to bring back De Gea with the same conditions
Although there is still no certainty but it seems we still have to wait further about this.

I also thought the same, one even goes so far as to say that Italian football has a high level because players who are in Napoli make the difference, of course the greatest promise of that team like Osimhen who when the transfer advantage passed he assured. Because he was going to stay on the team to complete everything he wanted to do and continue doing that great job, he didn't do it and things went to the floor, so these types of things are what I say makes players change their minds. and well I don't blame him, for me when they played last season they were quite good, they were another team, everything was very integrated, to achieve something like that is difficult, I praised their performance many times for everything they did, and It's something that I liked because it's a type of football that I like, but things didn't go well this season, and that's disappointing, I'm one of those who think that Osimhen did leave this team badly, but as you say, they have To move forward, you have to return to that level you had before and be even stronger.

Now Napoli has been performing poorly, for me they are still not up to par, when they talk about the teams of other leagues compared to Napoli's performance there is a difference, but this is a mental thing, I think things when They try to figure out how to have better access to things to have a better performance in the game. It is that when each person is in a more focused mode, they can do things better, the coach obviously has to achieve that great integration again. that great teamwork, making available new forwards who can make the difference, they have to work more as a team and put everything in so that they can achieve the same results as the previous season, or not the same, but recover and show that they do not Was it just luck or was it because there was a particular player that they won, they don't have to tell because they are the defending champions.

How do you expect Barcelona to sell Gavi? That cannot be even possible.
Gavi is a Barcelona player and would be a Barcelona legend at the end of his career. Players graduated from La Masia to Barcelona first team that are good enough barely leave the club.

He may not have the best of the best numbers but he has been a solid player for Barcelona on the pitch. Just exactly today, they lost though but he was a very good pair for IIkay Gundogan at such a young age.
Chelsea problem is not midfielder's, they need to work on who stays for the winger's and attack!

Gavi is Chelsea's dream, that's why they are willing to pay a lot of money for the player. Chelsea has been looking for players who can balance the team's midfield, and this time, the club's big “dream” can be bold and I believe it is a successful signing... I believe that Gavi can contribute a lot to this dream.

And Gavi's numbers are very good... Even with little time as a professional he is standing out for Barcelona, where he played 108 games, with 7 goals and 14 assists. Do you think that's little?
It is normal that even with Chelsea's interest, Barcelona does not seem willing to open a negotiation for Gavi. Gavi is one of the most promising names in the squad and certainly shouldn't leave the club for a bad offer.

This is just the fact and Chelsea will be in for taking a very big risk if they decide to sign Gavi for this big amount despite his stats with Barcelona which has not being that compelling as a midfielder. If Barcelona is sending him away, you should understand that he’s not that useful to them and have better options than him to replace him. He is still an average player to me and Chelsea needs a player that is above average level and can always change the game when they most needed him in every match.

Just like Gavi, Joao Felix has not been productive when he was playing at Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid’s Coach; Diego Simeone was not having him in his plans for the season and he was loaned out to Barcelona. Today, if you look at the stats and how Joao Felix have been performing, you won’t want to have him leave your team by all means. Gavi could be the same when he joins a new team. Some players play better when they join a new team and Gavi could do better when he leaves Barcelona to join another team. I am not looking down at this player and I have hopes in him that he’ll improve with time.

I think this is a good decision for the club to make since that Courtois is out injured and Kepa has been impressive in his absence it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have both goal keepers in the team. One substituting the other and sharing game time. This should lessen the workload and the pressure on Courtois who had to play almost every game for Real Madrid.

First of all, I do not think Barcelona should be interested in selling him. Because he is an important player for Barcelona. He can provide a lot of value to Barcelona. And that value is definitely going to be more than 87 million euros. If Barcelona is actually interested in selling him, I will say that they should sell him for a lot more than what Chelsea is offering them. They have to at least get more than €110 million. Otherwise Barcelona should keep him because he's going to give them a lot of value going forward. if they sell him, they will have to eventually buy another player. That is not going to be a good financial decision.

It all depends on the term of the contract and what the release clause is, what seems expensive now may be very cheap in a couple of years. Gavi is very young and he will improve so it might even be cheap right now. If you are talking about compliance with ffp, then Chelsea has a whole crowd of players and they will sell someone to maintain the balance in the required indicators, and we all know that top clubs always avoid punishment for such violations.

Meanwhile, Barcelona not only has bad finances but also lacks young players because almost all of Barcelona players are over 20 years old, except for Lamine Yamal, who just as young as Gavi and young players like this are a very good future investment for Barca so makes sense that Xavi will definitely hold back Gavi departure so that he not signed by another club before making a very big contribution and Xavi wants to train his talent to be of higher quality so that the price will be very expensive and in this way can help restore Barcelona finances.

Barcleona will never ever let gavi goes to the chelsea and gavi was also unwilling to degrade his career. chelsea was not as good as what it used to be. The golden era of chelsea has been passed and this club is a mediocre team this time.
It's also placing at the bottom stable which makes gavi feel so bad to leave from barcelona and join in the chelsea as a new player. It will not happen. Gavi will never try to degrade his career. Playing for chelsea is just another disaster for his career and im sure that he will not even have small interest in going there. Chelsea requires a superior coach to enhance the club. Pochettino's approach differs from the previous coach who brought Chelsea success.

Pochettino didn't even know so well about how to handle this club. There's no playmaker in the club. Chelsea played so garbage against brentford. Chelsea may lose in this game. A horrible performance from chelsea is more than enough to said no for chelsea.
Gavi is now in a better team than chelsea and why shall he go there? Gavi was just destroying his career if he will accept an offer from chelsea.

Gavi loves barcelona and he will not leave from there till the club will be kicking him from the club. Chelsea better finds another target.

I think as long as the players still have the passion to return to European competition and are able to prove it, it's not a problem. We can take the example of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he left Manchester United in 2018 to join LA Galaxy and during those 2 years in MLS, he finally decided to return to European competition and his choice fell on one of his former clubs, namely Milan in 2020 Then. Until finally Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to retire at the end of last season at Milan.

This was quite unexpected and it is possible that Douglas Costa will follow in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's footsteps and retire at Juventus. Being a back-up player is certainly not a big problem for Douglas Costa because he just wants to play football and also help his former team recover. So yes, Juventus' decision to sign him was the right one and they didn't need to spend any money in signing him later considering his free agent status.

Douglas Costa right from his Shakhtar Donetsk days was regarded as one of the best young wingers who would definitely grow to become legends of the beautiful round leather game. But that actually didn't happen as his spell with Juventus and Bayern Munich didn't produce the kind of results football fans had wanted from the Brazilian.
I've not been hearing about him since he moved to MLS side LA Galaxy but I hope his return to European football ends well for him. Juventus who has lost some of their important players to injury and ban will be a nice place for Costa to rekindle his football career again.

I see no reason why Juventus would be going back to their former players, they did same thing with Paul Pogba and it didn't yield any good results rather they ended up spending more money for his treatments until he landed himself in a mess and got banned for a long while, now they want to repeat Same thing with Douglas Costa that's a shadow of what he used to be while he was at the club.

 They should be going after younger and talented players that would last them for long term and not some player that's would only last a year or so, Douglas Costa is 33 years and cannot create more impact on Juventus success like he uses to while he was much younger, I think they're making a mistake and they need to call odd the deal before it gets too late, cause I don't see what Costa could offer Juventus.

I doubt with Juventus decision return to contract Douglas Costa because he was not on the top competition level before when playing with LA Galaxy as Major League Soccer teams. Actually, his performance in MLS League not really impressive well with 19 games played he only scored 3 goals and I have big question with Juventus decision want to sign him. Although he will not get first place with Juventus but its not good choose looking on Douglas Costa performance and his competition not more competitive such as with European teams.
I think Major League Soccer is competition for players who retired and looks Douglas Costa want to proof his level still on the top perform by rejoining with Juventus, waiting with his contribution for Juventus and his possibility will available register soon or waiting on second half season.
