Too focused on bringing new players, of course it is also not a good thing for Chelsea, we know that Chelsea today do not have players who can make a big contribution to the development of their game, even if it brings Osimhen to their home still not a guarantee that will have a significant impact on the Chelsea game and the Pochettino strategy, which I am afraid of is when Osimhen was brought in the Chelsea squad he became very difficult to develop, we know that Osimhen has good abilities and is very potential, but if he joins the squad in In the arrangement of his players cannot provide space for him to develop, he is like a lion who cannot eat meat.

A great risk for Osimhen entering the Chelsea squad, IMO

The total market value of the Chelsea squad is just under €1 billion. As of October 1st it is €925 million and around €100 million worth more than Liverpool, which is ranked 4th most expensive. To put that further into perspective, Manchester City is worth €1.18 billion. And keep in mind that these are objectively measured market values or maybe not objectively, but it is not just what a club paid for the players. If you ask me, I think Chelsea does have enough quality in the team to play better than they actually are playing these days. This is a thing that Pochettino has to solve. If a coach is privileged to get control over a team that is worth around €1 billion, what else can he expect? It his turn now to make the adjustments such that the team can become a winning team.

yeah if we look at the accumulation of costs incurred by Chelsea it is indeed very large for the purchase of the players they do in the transfer market regardless of whatever the concepts and goals they want to achieve, but the fact is not on the quality of the players they buy but more more To the quantity of the players they brought in which made them have to spend more money because more players were brought to their squad.

Of course it is not logical for their financial health and if you see that in Chelsea too many players, do Pochettino have to qualify for the players at home directly? ...
I just hope that Chelsea bought that player that really needed by them to increase their game.

Speculation about Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona continues to be discussed, but for me it is not a desirable scenario. Lionel Messi's contract will end in year 2025 and if he plans to return to Barcelona in the following year it is much less likely. If he intends to play in the World Cup for his country then the most likely thing is for him to stay in MLS with an automatic contract extension and I believe this to be a much more likely scenario for him than returning to Barcelona.

Of course no one knows how the rest of Lionel Messi's career will go in the future, but I think Barcelona should think about other options compared to bringing Lionel Messi back to Camp Nou. The salary issue may be a consideration and Lionel Messi is unlikely to be willing to accept a small salary to return there, although that is just my assumption.

Messi was a free agent when he left PSG, if he wanted to really stay in Barcelona, he would have taken the deal of Barcelona before Inter Miami but at the end, he accepted Beckham deal of Apple revenue over Spanish club. However, if LaPorta is keen to have him back to the family, he will accept the deal on some condition if Inter Miami are going to be the middle man that will be paying his wages. This is the only acceptable deal Messi might want to accept because Barcelona still owe him some money till today, they are too broke to have Messi on their payroll.

I think the speculations are just around everywhere because people wan to push agenda but if it's the way Messi smile on games and entertained Americans, he will stay their untill the end of his contract, he even just bought house in US in other to accommodate his family with a new life, and Barcelona will want to take that from them, seems LaPorta will spend more than what the club generate if he really want to have Messi come back to Barcelona.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Jesse Lingard pursuing a career in the Arab League because there perhaps his skills can be honed well, especially by Steven Gerrard. For this season, Arab clubs are focusing a lot on attracting European players, but if it is Al-Ettifaq class, bringing in Lingard will not be as easy as other Arab clubs that have to compete. Remembering that when Steven Gerrard was interested in his abilities, maybe there was potential he wanted to explore in Lingard.

Lingard has spent all his life in England both national and clubs yet not a single Premier League nor Champions League he has ever won, and he has only been a supportive in the last 5 years, even in his last transfer to Nottingham Forest, not a single goal was scored by him. I don't think there is nothing left for him in England, he will push for Saudi Arabia by January when their own transfer market start, Lingard will prefer to have some paycheck from Al-ettifaq than retire in his 30.

Messi returning to barcelona will be a very big plus to the team, messi is a player that loves young player and with Barcelona having many young talented players in the team will be a motivation and dream come true to many.  Messi is a kind of player that have great quality and will have much effect on the team and players, players like Lamin yamal will learn a lot about his role and position since they play same position but also he might have a little effect on the team because some players playing time will now be limited because Messi can not be kept on the bench.

In my opinion Messi should make a move to a different club i will even prefer he joins a team in Argentina league so he can just end his career there. He could help Inter Miami survive relegation so he wouldn’t have much impact joining Barcelona.

I wouldn't expect Chelsea to make big signings in January. They have already spent a great deal of money so far. After all these transfers they should focus on improving their game in the long run. I see their problem in the attacking line. They have been good for two games maybe but there is still a big inconsistency problem.
You can expect chelsea will be doing nothing during winter transfer season but i do believe chelsea will be recruiting more players especally striker and attacking midfielder positions. You can at least try to read some latest news about chelsea.
Pochettino has been even targeting osimhen and maignan. The clubs are still monitoring the situation of those players. Ac milan may not accept maignan's requrest to increase his salary from 2,8 millions to the 8 millions euro for a season.
This is why chelsea is targeting him caused by maignan may also leave from acmilan. Acmilan has been hijacking some players during the last transfer season. It's time for chelsea to get some.
I don't even know what's the main reason but chelsea may have three goal keepers in total. I remember there was a goal keeper signed from MLS.

Jackson and Broja aren't credible strikers at the moment. They must be desperate to wait for Nkunku's recovery as soon as possible. When he starts to play for Chelsea hopefully we can see some good improvement in the productivity.
True and this is the main reason chelsea is looking for a new striker. Osimhen has become the most potential candidate, but the club was never approaching him. Im feeling doubt if chelsea is trying to recruit him in december.
Anything about this club is still remain unclear at this moment. Everything can change anytime based on the what agreement reached by the teams.

There are not speculation or possibility with Lionel Messi will return to Barcelona, due has chance with loan option after his team Inter Miami not qualifying to playoff round and he will absent for league competitive until February next year but keep priority stay with Inter Miami. Did you hear about Lionel Messi have debt with Barcelona and not paying yet? I think that serious problem and Lionel Messi looks not happy with Barcelona management respond his problem.

I don't sure when Lionel Messi contract over with Inter Miami on 2025 he will return to Barcelona, he has bad dreaming what Barcelona management respond what great achievement giving to the team but he can't get service from Barcelona. I am excited for watching Lionel Messi return to top European team if his contract over with Inter Miami two years later.

It is awe-inspiring to see the news of Cristiano Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr being signed up by Al Nassr club, a club where the dad also plays right now. I think this is another great move being taken by the team to have bring the lil boy on board their U15 team despite he is 13 year old after the boy was seen training severally since the dad was signed to the Saudi Pro League.

I think it will be a dream come true for Ronaldo to have his son surpass him by making even more achievement especially at this early age. It is the wish of every father to have his son as a successor in a way especially when it deals with showcasing talent at its peak. Now the young boy will be resuming with the Number 7 uniform as a striker. All sounds interesting!

Chelsea spent more than 1 billion euros on transfers in the last two seasons. But they didn't get the results they expected. However, according to press reports, they will do everything to sign Osimhen in the winter transfer window. Napoli want 140 million euros for Osimhen. It is estimated that Chelsea will pay this price. Honestly, I think it would be very good for Chelsea if this transfer happens. Chelsea have not been at a good level in recent years. If they manage to convince Osimhen, this transfer could bring Chelsea back to their glory days.
What Chelsea did in the transfer market had no significant impact on them, and it could be said that they just threw money away. They should be able to make more effective purchases and what they have done in recent years is just looking at the names of players without considering whether they will be able to bring fresh air or not.
The news about their interest in Osimhen, I think it will be very difficult to bring him in, especially in their current situation and there are also several big club names who are also eyeing Osimhen.

In fact, if you look at this season all the lines, both back, middle and front, are not very synchronized with each other and it is difficult to create cooperation when facing opponents. It was actually quite complicated for Man United, Erik Ten Hag also seemed unable to control the game. After this, in preparation for match after match, there was no readiness from either the players or coaches. Including the club's problems which began to rise again due to the Glazer family not selling the club as a whole.

Man United struggle in the Champions League will not go well, it is certain that they will find it difficult to qualify. Meanwhile in the Premier League it is in 10th position in the standings and this must be corrected immediately if you don't want to go further. It was a stroke of luck in the next match against Sheffield United and from any aspect it should have been a full point that Man United could have achieved.
With the current problems in the MU team, hopefully Ten Hag will not solve his problems just by buying players in the transfer market later. The players on the MU team are not bad, it's just that they don't play well as a team.
Last season they struggled hard to be in the UCL, but their performance this season when they were in the UCL was very bad. We don't know for sure what problems MU is experiencing. maybe the coach, maybe also the players who find it difficult to accept directions from the coach.
Ten Hag is fully responsible for the performance of The Red Devils squad, however he cannot be completely blamed. There are many factors behind Manchester United decline in performance this season, of course we already know it very well. Yes, it is true that Ten Hag cannot use the transfer market next January as the only solution to improve the team performance, because adding new players will require further adaptation. Ten Hag must be able to find the best formula with the available players, so that he plays more as a team and does not prioritize his individual ego.

Ten Hag and all his players should need to introspect and not blame each other or make scapegoats among each other. Because if you continue to be in a bad situation, it will make fans annoyed and disappointed. Next, they will demand that management kick out coaches or players who cannot contribute to their favorite club.

According to reports,Arsenal are looking at the possibility of signing a striker in the January transfer window,and they are seriously looking at  Brendfort goal machine,Ivan Toney who was placed on a six months match ban from football for gambling addiction.It is said that the striker may be interested in making a move to Emirate stadium if they should knock on his door.
When I heard this rumour,I felt it was just a joke,but it's now confirmed that there is serious interest from both parties to strike a deal,but I wonder what Arsenal will be doing with three strikers.In all these rumours,I seriously feel for Nketiah,because he might end up being the one not to see playing time again.

Honestly, I just heard this rumor from what you posted. But to be honest, what we hope for as Gunners supporters is that Arsenal has a pure striker who can be relied on in terms of scoring goals. at least, a pure sticker who can score 20 goals in one season. As for Ivan Toney, for the achievements he achieved by scoring goals last season, he met my expectations as a fan.
However, if we refer to Arsenal's philosophy, it seems that Edu and Arteta will look for players who are younger but have character and can be relied on in the front lines of their squad. However, if the rumors or gossip are true, at least Ivan Toney can be more reliable than Nketiah.

Honestly, I don't want to say Nketiah is a talentless striker. It's just that, he hasn't reached a high level as a pure striker. with this option, and if this is true, at least Arsenal has the option of several strikers who have different characteristics. There would be nothing wrong if the Gunners brought Ivan Toney to the Emirates Stadium. He can be played according to the team's needs, plus Arteta doesn't need to worry if Gabriel Jesus gets injured again.
Moreover, referring to what you said, in the January transfer window. The sooner the better. Unfortunately, you did not include a reference to the source you got. at least, you mention one of the newspapers that reported it. So, I can't assume if this rumor or news is true.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Jesse Lingard pursuing a career in the Arab League because there perhaps his skills can be honed well, especially by Steven Gerrard. For this season, Arab clubs are focusing a lot on attracting European players, but if it is Al-Ettifaq class, bringing in Lingard will not be as easy as other Arab clubs that have to compete. Remembering that when Steven Gerrard was interested in his abilities, maybe there was potential he wanted to explore in Lingard.

Jesse Lingard is not a player like he used to be in Manchester United. His loan spell in Nottingham Forest was not impressive, he scored just two goals and added two assists to his records. Forest failed to renew his contract so he became a free agent. He was formerly linked to West Ham and he was training with David Moyes's side but he later moved to Saudi Arabia to join Steven Gerrard. Al-Ettifaq accepted his request to train with them for one month.  Maybe his performance during his one-month stay has made the club management to consider signing the 30-year-old English player. If the deal goes through Jesse will now join top players like Jordan Henderson, Demari Gray and Georginio Wijnaldum. If the player can work on his fitness and other areas, he might establish himself as an important player in Al Al-Ettifaq.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq is set to officially sign free agent Jesse Lingard:
Lingard, who has also been linked with La Liga outfit Osasuna since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, also had a successful loan spell with West Ham in 2021, but Al-Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has taken an interest in it and wants a permanent move for him to Al-Ettifaq.
Jesse Lingard has very good goal-scoring status from a performance point of view; he scored 35 goals in 232 appearances and has also been capped 32 times by England. He was also part of Gareth Southgate's squad, which made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia in 2018. He has very good goal-scoring ability at Manchester United, but after leaving Manchester United, his goal-scoring ability has a little bit reduced, not like at a higher standard. But anyway, Steven Gerrard has managed to bring out his best form for Al-Ettifaq.
What did you guys think? Give us your thoughts.

The opportunity for Messi to return to Catalan with Barcelona is still available, but not in the near future because he is still under contract with Inter Miami until December 2025. Choosing to return to play a season or two before retiring as a club legend is the right thing, I think Messi will be very welcomed by everyone at Barcelona. Maybe this could be the best option as a means to maintain balance in his game when his contract ends in MLS, of course the aim is to be able to appear in the upcoming 2026 World Cup with the Argentine national team.

I think Messi has everything to help Xavi even though he is no longer young, on the other hand Barcelona will get various benefits if Messi returns. We all remember Dani Alves returning to Barcelona, I think the scenario could happen again with Messi. So I think everything is very possible, even though at this time it is just initial speculation.
Speculation about Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona continues to be discussed, but for me it is not a desirable scenario.

I don't see much of a problem in Manchester United's midfield but their main problem areas are in their defense and their strike positions. There is no denying that Manchester United's striker position players are very talented and full of skills but the problem is that they are not performing well at all which makes Manchester United's strike position look weak. If Manchester United want to buy a young player then of course they can buy a defender or a talented striker, I don't think they will spend money on a midfielder at the moment.

I think Jackson is fine, he might not be a super star, but he can still perform unlike Sterling which the performance is unstable. The other winger e.g. Mudryk is playing like trash, so this mean Chelsea need two wingers. This will make Chelsea become better on the attacking line.
Sterling can play well as a left winger, while Mykhailo Mudryk, who plays the same position, is still not performing at his best. Mykhailo Mudryk has good talent to rely on, but so far his performance has been very unconvincing with very minimal contributions. Mykhailo Mudryk has made 7 appearances this season with Chelsea in the Premier League, but he was only able to score 1 goal which is honestly too bad for him as a winger.

Nicolas Jackson is also not good, he only has 2 goals in 7 appearances and has picked up 5 yellow cards. Chelsea need a new striker who is better than Jackson, but I agree Chelsea still probably need a good winger too.

But maybe they will see the performance of Jackson or other strikers until January next year and if the players just like Jackson, Sterling or Mudryk showing better performance then Chelsea probably won't buy new players on striker position but if these players performance still far from expectations and disappointing then most likely Chelsea is really required new striker to solved this problem

Helena Yu are we really going to compare Sterling to Jackson Tongue

If were ,am going to definitely say that Raheem Sterling on a bad day will still outshine Jackson in goals, shots on goal and everything you expect from an attack minded player, otherwise Jackson has failed in that position looking back at all past Chelsea strikers.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that contract talks with Victor Osimhen are at a standstill, suggesting the striker could leave.

If Victor Osimhen leaves the jokes on them especially that this lad is one hell of a good striker and whoever put that tictok joke must have been fired to calm the waters but nothing has been done, good luck to them when the transfer window is open.

Another Benfica gem that has attracted the interest of one of the big EPL teams and he is Joao Neves who is still 19 years old. Manchester United is currently monitoring Joao Neves for their winter signing and as a defensive midfielder it is possible that he will be able to have an impact in the future for Manchester United. We know that currently there is Casemiro as a defensive midfielder and perhaps Erik Ten Hag wants him as Casemiro's replacement and successor if Casemiro leaves. Joao Neves' performance at Benfica and the Portuguese national team was impressive and that is why he is now being targeted by one of the big teams.
I can't understand why Ten Hag always searching for new defensive midfielder when they're actually missing of good goalkeeper and defenders. In defensive midfielders they already have Casemiro, Eriksen, and Amrabat, the funny thing Amrabat is rotated to left back position.

Neves seems to be a promising potential player, he should join to strong teams e.g. Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool.
I think the pure position of defensive midfielder currently only belongs to Casemiro and Amrbat, for Erikseen he is more suitable as a creative central midfielder. Amrabat was placed at left back because Erik ten Hag had no other option considering that so many of his defenders were injured. So Erik temporarily rotated him as a left back.

I agree that Joao Neves should join one of the teams you have mentioned because if this talented player chooses Manchester United it will be the same as burying his career faster. We know that every good player who comes to Manchester United immediately fails and that is a problem that makes most people feel confused about what is wrong with this team. If Joao Neves joins the Red Devils, then he will only get fame from big names but don't expect his career to go well.

Im supporting osimhen's decision to leave. If this update is true and the chance of him to go to the EPL is still very big. I remember that if newcastle has become the first team that sent an official bid for him but napoli has rejected it.
We may also see chelsea to be another club who will be send official bid to get him. This is a good news caused by there might be some clubs try to compete to get him from napoli soon.

I hope that eurelio will consider to sell him. Osimhen needs to move on from there. He can develop his career even better once he will be moving to a better club than napoli. He will be running in the same place if he was staying there.
