Not what we had hoped for him when he burst onto the scene for United years ago, we thought he was going to finish as a United legend or that even if he left, it would be to a bigger club, but i guess we can say things didn't go to plan for Martial.

Having said that, he is better off in a team that he would be constantly playing, game time is very important for every player, so if you are not getting it in your current club, like Martial wasn't in United, best decision you can take is to leave.

Due to the financial crisis, Barcelona could not make Joao Felix status permanent. Back at Atletico, Diego Simeone was reluctant to rely on him, the past conflict between the two made the Portuguese international player feel uncomfortable. Chelsea is an option to save his career, although it is considered a bad choice for now, in my opinion Enzo Maresca group has the potential to win the Premier League trophy. In fact, in my opinion, it is more reliable than Arsenal and Manchester United in breaking Manchester City dominance. In the last decade, Chelsea has won 2 trophies, Liverpool 1, Leicester 1, the rest are secured by Pep Guardiola squad. Maybe that's a little fact about Chelsea, which must be admitted that they are indeed in chaos at this time, but it would be unfair to judge a move to Stamford Bridge as a bad choice for every player like Felix.

I don't think he will find the same environment in La Liga that he found in the Premier League. La Liga is more advantageous than the Premier League in many aspects. I don't think he can show the performance he showed at Barcelona. I don't think his previous Chelsea adventure was very bright either. Chelsea have made some interesting transfers recently. Joao Felix will go down as one of them. Also, Chelsea started this season well, but they might return to their old chaotic days at any moment. Even Haaland would flounder in such a team...

This happened due to the considerable confidence of Napoli who wanted to get a big profit from Osimhen's transfer even though this was quite reasonable because Napoli previously brought Osimhen also at a high price so they wanted to apply the same for his expenditure clause this season which actually backfired on Napoli themselves.

I think Osimhen's transfer will still be quite interesting in the middle of the season or at least next season but by looking at the current conditions I still think that Napoli must swallow disappointment because it is clear that with the current drama, it is certain that Osimhen's price next season will decrease even maybe a little more drastically because it is still very profitable if next season Osimhen still costs around 100 million considering the drama and hot situation that occurred at this time. The highest possible price is 100 million and could even be less than that price later.

It's very unprofessional of As Roma but if that was stated in the contract between De Rossi and As Roma, then we have no obligation to judge into their matter. It was strictly professional as he never met their expectations. Having no wins in 5 games can be scary especially for anyone especially when they finished in the 6th place last season but the question is what could have gone wrong to play 5 matches as the season begin and yet they couldn't win a single match even the friendly one.

I noticed that AS Roma sold a lot of players, it's possible they have sold and loan most of their key players and they are blaming innocent man that can't do much. Mourihno will be in corner laughing and enjoying his time now,  he did a lot of As Roma and he was dismissed, even De Rossi is nothing new as they sack him.

The whole management system in Roma is confused and broken. They have no idea about what they have to do right now. The only thing Roma could do was to get the coach fired once they saw the coach of this team got a bad result and that is why they fired De Rossi while he was a good coach and even after he joined this team he started trying to get Roma improved and he was successful because the fans and the players of Roma liked to see De Rossi in this team.
Now they use Ivan Jurić while this Croatian coach is not as famous as De Rossi.
 

AS Roma may not be satisfied with the results for 4 matches they are afraid that it is approaching the relegation zone even though this is still too far away to see the remaining matches, but now the decision has been made then De Rossi must accept the fact that he was fired and is no longer useful for AS Roma.

By bringing in a coach is also not something good, not necessarily able to adapt to the players and see the character,
What is clear is that this has become their management decision, it's just a little unfortunate why the dismissal was so fast than I thought.

It’s a shame De Rossi will not continue as the head coach of Roma after recording poor performances and results this season. I am sure the management must have realised that it is not an easy task to keep the current team on a high level like Mourinho did in his time. It will even go worse when these players who joined because of the trust they had for Mourinho decide to move in similar fashion as Tammy Abraham.

What's most annoying is that they could have thought things through much better during their break when they came in, they had plenty of time to think about all these changes, now they make coaching changes when they shouldn't have, because it's another period of adaptation, another direction, the players can present inconsistencies, the coach doesn't know the players' abilities very well, it's something that's very bad, well, one sees it from that point of view , but if I agree with what Roma had planned previously, then they will have other plans that we don't even know about.

Joao Felix is potential player but have fallen out of favors in the eyes of these managers. First Diego Simeone dropped him from his starting XI in Estadio Civitas Metropolitano and the Portugal International triggered a loan move to Barcelona where he couldn't explore his potentials. I would say he's rather found unlucky with the managers he worked with and this time, moving to Chelsea. Joao Felix should take crucial measures to ensure he's on the right track. The Blues have the presence of vast quality players. Chelsea have specified spots for these players and Joao Felix is key project under Enzo Maresca administration. Felix is a promising player, he exhibits potentials and having good records towards his football career.

Anthony Martial was officially recruited by AEK Athens, a club from Greece, after his service ended on July 1 and has had a career in the Premier League for 9 years with the Red Devils and scored 90 goals from 317 appearances.
The 29-year-old player will start this season by defending AEK Athens in the highest caste of the Greek League.
Hopefully with his new club he can find his best performance and also win the domestic league trophy this season.

Joao Felix isn't a bad player, he just had some terrible luck when it comes to playing at places that fit him, I think he was fine for Barcelona and he did alright, after all Barcelona wasn't that great last season and that means he was a good player of a bad team and that wasn't really a bad thing.

I do expect him to do fine at Chelsea, didn't really expected Chelsea to spend this much money again to get him, they have a lot of players and that's a bit of an unlucky situation for Felix once again, it's really not that good and I believe that we are going to see him not do that well and we could be seeing that not because he is a bad player but because there are many talents at Chelsea, they have like 40+ players and that is why Felix may not get the chance that he wants and this could result with him not having a good season. When a team has few options, they can wait patiently until a player gets his groove back, but when they have many options they would just end up trying another player.

Even if Osimhen stays for a single season, he will make great contributions to the team. A player like him does not transfer to the Turkish league. Even him playing in Turkey on loan for a year is a great success and yes, I think his one-year period at Galatasaray will be enough to get a Champions League ticket. Of course, this is valid if he does not transfer and leave the team during the mid-season because there was talk that he would leave the team during the mid-season transfer period.

When we hear a name that we rarely hear, we will do research on the name, about which clubs he has handled and what achievements he has made. It is very natural when we doubt the current AS Roma coach, we also have strong reasons to say so. The statistics he created during his career as a coach will certainly be one of the considerations for us to say whether this is a good coach or not. AS Roma made a very quick decision even though it was only in 4 matches, but that was not the problem, but the appointment of the coach that they made that finally raised questions. But I still hope that what we think will not happen and AS Roma can be much better.

A lot of questions are being asked around this subject and I don't see answers.
In general, sacking a coach that has less than a year with a team is something ridiculous. Worse, sacking the coach who played almost half the previous season and started the new one in less than a month.
There is no real strategy tested by the club. Few upsetting games made them took a fast decision and I hope at least the new coach will not fail after few rounds of adaptation and eventually defeats..

Actually, Roma has many options to recruit other better coaches at this time, but for some reason their choice falls on Ivan Juric, of course we don't know about Roma policy in appointing coaches so far, but in my opinion is too ambiguous and often unreasonable except when they recruit Mourinho who does have a lot of experience in coaching,  Roma this season have spent a lot of money in the transfer market but they don't have the patience to see Rossi job longer in the team, the performance in 4 games is either worthy of the dismissal or maybe the dismissal has the same reason when they sacked Mourinho earlier for a dispute with the club's owner?

I think the reason for Rossi's dismissal may still have ambiguity and after spending a lot of money in the transfer market, of course it would be strange if they didn't give Rossi more time in coaching, but regardless of the reason for the dismissal, what is certain is that at the moment Ivan Jurig has a heavy burden that he has to face at Roma, Ivan Juric has a long history in his coaching in handle of mid-table teams,  So it's hard to say if he'll be able to bring a lot of changes to the current Roma squad, especially when they must to play in European competitions later, but even so it's better for us to see his work with Roma including what he can do when he faces Udinese at the weekend.

He might not have handled a top-flight team but he has been an assistant to Gian Piero Gasperini at Inter Milan and Palermo. His wealth of experience in the Seria A will be helpful. Ivan Juric have worked with clubs with low budget and has managed to make some impact. His appointment to a club like Roma which has the money and good players might bring out the best in him. He has all the time to bring back Roma to its winning ways since the league is just starting.

I never expected the Croatian coach to be appointed as a coach because there are many other quality coaches in the market. Thomas Tuchel and Massimiliano Allegri would have been my best choices. Roma lost some of its players especially, strikers in the transfer window. So the coach's main task will be how to unite the players, boost their morale and maximize their potential.

Well, are you kidding Ivan Juric and Roma?
Coming to AS Roma, the pressure will weigh heavily on the 49-year-old coach's shoulders. Ivan Juric has never managed an elite club until today, but in Italian football, he has been highly regarded having led Hellas Verona and Torino for several seasons. I know Ivan Juric's job will not be easy. Except to bring confidence to the team and the fans. His biggest challenge now is to bring Roma back to the top of Serie A and Europe. Ivan Juric's immediate task is to build a team that can regain the stability that was lacking in the early stages of the season. Ivan Juric's experience will play a vital role in achieving these goals.

You and I will wait and see if Ivan Juric is really talented, then Roma will be the right one in this story.

Osimhen transfer is no longer as interesting as when his name lifted the trophy with Napoli last season, now his transfer is just a solution to the uncertainty of European clubs regarding Osimhen quality who is considered a Napoli outcast. This is the real situation between Osimhen and next season transfer. You need to know that when he was in his prime, refusing to leave was a bad decision for many clubs that he ignored. So it's time to stop making a big deal about Osimhen departure in the next season window. I don't pay much attention to the Turkish League and most of us pay attention to Turkish clubs when they are in the Champions League. Osimhen can definitely give them a UCL ticket next season but they won't have Osimhen after that. 

Ivan Juric is only a mediocre coach who can coach a mediocre club to finish mid-table. He has never had great achievements in his career as a coach. And his coaching history can be seen below.



Based on his coaching career above, I do not expect him to do much better at Roma. And it doesn't fit Roma's vision to qualify for the UCL next season.

Roma needs a big name with lots of experience. Not an amateur like him who only coached a mediocre Serie A team.
