Many people still believe that David De Gea is still a great shot stopper because of the occasional amazing saves he makes and also because of the golden glove he won.
Although he has the ability to still pull off those crazy saves sometimes, the truth is that he has massively declined in this area. If people do not want to believe it by eyetest, it is clearly shown in the GK stats.
We love him but we need to move on to a better young Goalkeeper now.

There was some news about Pedri moving to PSG and working is his coach Luis Enrique again, but since he is an important player for Barcelona I think they won't let him leave Barcelona right now easily. Also, he said he doesn't even think about leaving Barcelona for another team even if he can work with his coach Enrique there. According to transfermarkt this player is worth 100m.
Pedri is young and talented, but I do not think he is worth 100m because of how he can easily get injured. At his very young age, he has suffered injuries already, and that means his career will be full of them no matte how hard he tries to play safe. No club will pay 100m for him, they will negotiate for a lesser price. But he will not want to leave Barcelona, they are becoming a better team and with the new people they have brought to the club like Gundogan, they can do better in midfield in all competitions and even win them. Pedri loves the club and is loved by the club, he can win everything he wants in club football with Barcelona, there is no need moving to another club to start again the process of trying to establish yourself.

The line-up is currently uncertain which club will sign them this summer and it seems that there are so many well-known names who are still free agents since the end of last season. Of course, even if there are young or old, they are all European players who are good enough for the next one or two seasons. There are quite familiar names like David De Gea, Sergio Ramos, Jesse Lingard and many others who have yet to find their new club. Who do you think will join and which club will likely get a place this summer?

Newcastle has not yet been stopped from getting more and more quality players.. newcastle is now having a new target. Gleison bremer has been targeting by juventus. bremer is one of juventus defender. It's likely juventus will let bremer to leave as long as newcastle can afford to pay a lot of money for him.
eddie howe is so crazy. This club is now targeting so many players. It's started to buy everything needed by the club under the new owner. That's why newcastle can compete with another big club in UCL next season.

More and more UCL clubs have no limitation to buy the new player. The only thing that prevent them from buying a lot of players was FFP.
Yes, now Newcastle seems to be making Serie A a field for hunting new players. Previously, Newcastle had Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Barella. In the end, Eddie Howe managed to land Tonali the perfect signing, but not Nicolo. Eddie Howe is not going to stop here. True, now Gleison Bremer is the next target being chased, but Juventus have no intention of letting him go next summer because seeing how big his role is for Juventus, this situation makes it a little difficult for Newcastle. But on the other hand Juventus could change their minds and the decision will be on the offer that will be submitted by Newcastle. On the other hand I am sure that with the finances that Newcastle have, Eddie Howe will be able to get him. And I see that Juventus will not miss this opportunity to at least make a profit.

The news about azpi has been surprising me. He has been linked to the intermilan but since chelsea gives him free agent transfer and atletico was also interesting to sign him as a new player.
Azpi potentially does U turn. It's caused by his family has been forcing him to play in spanyol and he can't refuse it. Intermilan may be losing in competition against atletico madrid to get him from chelsea.
I almost forgot with this guy, he's actually one of best defenders aside Thiago Silva in Chelsea, but it's weird he only appeared few matches in the last season. Barcelona and Real Madrid already have plenty of defenders, so yeah he can't force himself to join those two big clubs in La Liga, but playing in Atletico Madrid is surely would kill him in football career because that club has no vision to become a champion in international league. Atletico Madrid only good in business as they used to be a stepping stone by great players.

I think Barcelona actually were interested in him last season's summer transfer window when Chelsea lost most of their defenders. They were interested in 3 names- Marcos Alonso, Christensen and Azpilicueta. While they managed to sign Alonso and Christensen, Azpilicueta was actually interested to move to Spian but he instead decided to play for another 2 years at Chelsea eventually. Now Barcelona is no more interested (I guess) which is why Atletico Madrid just swooped in the perfect opportunity they had.

This is a warning to Premier League clubs, especially for them to be careful because they will certainly have one club that will compete at the top. Last season Newcastle showed something very good, and at its peak they were able to finish in the top 4 in the standings. They realize that the squad they currently have is not strong enough to be able to compete strictly, moreover they will compete in the Champions League next season. The steps they are taking are very clear towards the thorough preparations they are making for the 2023/2024 season.

seeing this, I really appreciate what Newcastle did, because they know what to do with the stable finances they currently have.

It's deal now.

Thuram has been officially joining in intermilan. He was coming there with free agent. Inter has been also giving him five years contract. It can be considered as a long contract for him.
It has been confirmed by romano too

Glad to see that intermilan gets a new amunition for attacking line. Lukaku and dzeko have been leaving from the club. Lukaku potentially come back again while dzeko moved to the another club with free agent.
It is a pleasure to hear the official announcement and for inter Marcus Thuram is a very important figure for Inter's attack line in the coming season. Now Martinez has a new partnership with Marcus Thuram at Inter and it is hoped that both players will show their contribution, especially in terms of scoring goals. For Inter, who got Marcus Thuram on a free agent status, they were very lucky, moreover, they immediately signed him for a long duration of up to 5 years. Even so, I think Inter must also find a replacement for Andre Onana because there were rumors that Inter had started to make offers for the goalkeeper so that Manchester United would immediately make an offer.

I think atletico madrid will complete his transfer as soon as possible. Finally, aspilicueta will be going back to his country after he has been playing for chelsea more than a decade.
He has ever played for osassuna. He is coming back again to the la liga after long journey with Chelsea.

It is really sad to know that Chelsea will not be renewing the contract of one of its legends. The Spaniard has been one of the most reliable defenders in the Chelsea squad. He has won two premiership titles, one Champions, and one Europa League.  Maybe Atletico Madrid gave him a better contract and he wants to retire in Spain. A two-year contract for a thirty-three years old defender is a lucrative one. But I am not too pleased with him for abandoning his verbal contract with Inter Milan. He should have kept his word because his reputation is at stake. I am just wondering how the Chelsea squad will look next season because it seems that many key players are leaving. I can't also wait to see the lineup of coach Mauricio Roberto Pochettino next season.

I think it would be pretty unfair to directly compare Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland just by their personal stats because Haaland is playing for the best team in the world at the moment that is scoring a lot of goals and therefore it is just a logical consequence, that he is also able to score a lot of goals because he simply gets so many chances. Nunez on the other hand is playing for a team, that was not doing so well this season for their standards.
Still i think it is fair to say, that the officials and also the fans of Liverpool expected a little more from Darwin Nunez. Liverpool has payed 80 Million € for him, which was way to much in my opinion and so far he is not performing on a level that would justify such a high amount of money for him. He is still young though and he can improve.

Liverpool didn't splash €80m for an average striker that can create opportunities and make an impact on the team. The club expected much from him that was why they invested so much to buy him. The price of both players could be used to compare them. Haaland cost €60m and has performed very well while the more expensive striker Nunez has not contributed immensely to Liverpool. He is not the first expensive player to disappoint and maybe next season could be better for him.

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, strengthened his midfield this summer by recruiting three wonderful midfielders capable of thrilling the entire midfield and important aids to the frontlines in terms of key passes. Darwin Nunez finds it difficult to adjust to Liverpool's football pattern, and the club has not performed up to expectations, being too hesitant and recording dismal results in league games. Competing against Erling Haaland, I don't think he can compete with the Norwegian international since Liverpool lacks what City possesses, which is a dominant midfield.

Mount is a decent player but I really don't see how he fits in their team. They need central midfielders, they have way too many players that play attacking midfield or on the flanks.

I'm glad that Liverpool dodged the bullet here - because the same thing applies to us as well. Mount is good, but where would he play?

I really like that we're closing in on a deal for Szoboszlai though. That guy can be a top class player, and 60 mil euros sounds like a fair price.
I am guessing that it was more like a quick move so that United fans wouldn't get mad. I mean between the take over deal and all the other things that's going on right now, United fans are getting incredibly pissed and that is hurting the bottom line of United as well. That means if the team gets worse, Glazers can't sell the team for this much, they are already rejecting the offers they are getting at this moment, can you imagine if it got even lower? That would be a nightmare for them.

So in the very end, I believe that the best thing to do right now for them is to get some players no matter what, it would cost them a bit but at least they would be able to show the fans that they are doing something for the team and that's an important thing.

Azpi is surplus to requirement at Chelsea and with his years of service and his achievements, i don't think he is chasing a new goal in particular.. So Atletico is really a good team for him over inter milan since that will give him the opportunity to play at home too

I have come across with this news now. It looks like the source I looked into first wasn't telling the truth.  Grin  There is already an agreement for 40 million pounds and the deal is soon about to become official. This must be great news for Maddison and Tottenham both. Because Maddison won't have to compete in the Championship anymore.

For Tottenham it must be really nice to have an attacking midfielder. I mean he is going to be the only player whose main position is attacking midfield. Tottenham have been a team using various formations so I don't think Maddison would have any issue with having a place for himself in the lineup.

Besides he can play as a central midfielder and even on the left wing if there is need. Versatility is also a positive for both sides.
Players have their priorities and they make their choices but if I were Maddison, I would not want to involve with Tottenham now they are not playing in any Europe competitions. They are not also sure of going home with any trophy coming season. While we all solicit for Harry Kane to leave Tot for a trophy career, Maddison really wants to join him.

But it will be a good business for Tottenham if this happens. But who will score the goals since Kane is leaving?

I assume that there wasn't any other offer by a Premier League team except Tottenham. Otherwise I would have totally expected Maddison to accept an offer of a more successful team. But this is still much better than getting stuck at Leicester in the second league of course. Because his quality would have been affected negatively in the other case.

When it comes to Kane situation it is still doubtful about whether he will leave. Because as far as I know he has got only one offer so far which was by Bayern Munich. It wasn't even near meeting Tottenham's demands. You know how adamant Levy is now about keeping Kane unless there is an enormous offer just as he would like.

But if Kane leaves this summer things are going to get even worse for them surely.

Nunez of course deserves another shot. Liverpool signed him for a really big amount of money. They can't give up on him after only one season. It is the truth that he hasn't been very impressive with his finishing skills since he joined Liverpool. He was amazing while he was playing for Benfica. It looks like he needs more time to reach that level.

Nunez is normally capable of competing with Haaland and Kane both for being the top scorer in a season. After Firmino's departure the expectation from him will be higher than before. He will have more chances to prove himself to the team as well. Hopefully we can see his real performance by the beginning of new season.
I agree, players like Nunez need time to adapt to a new league as competitive as the EPL and we sure knows he has potential, So all Liverpool needs is patience for him to get to that top tier they expect!!!
I think next season will be the last chance for Nunez to prove that Liverpool did not make a blunder when recruiting him. For that he must try even harder because if once again he fails to carry out his role, I think Liverpool will no longer hesitate to put him on the sale list next season.

It is very likely that Liverpool will lose money because his value will definitely decrease but it's still better than having to keep hold of big-paid players who can't fit into the Premier League's style of play.
