Now Jackson is 23 years old, and I like the way he plays, of those forwards that are in the team now he is one of the best. No need to worry about what will happen to him in 9 years, now he is young and full of desire to play, especially since any contract can be terminated, and Chelsea is most likely trying to protect themselves in this way so as not to think about extending the contract with this forward in a year or two. If the team changes the coach, then he can give preference to other players, as now Sterling was left out of the game, although he constantly played with Pochettino.

I'm not so sure about the truth of this news. Bringing Musiala to Camp Nou? Maybe it could happen but I don't know when.
What is clear is that I doubt Barca's finances are very bad at the moment, there is no way a deal can happen. For now, Barca must focus on improving their finances, don't be too ambitious about wanting star players out there, especially since there are many competitors to get Musiala's signature, there are still other rich clubs that can make good offers to Munich.
Another thing is that Munich will also keep Musiala at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich still needs Musiala's services to help the team in the Bundesliga and UCL.

Arteta has the potential to become a great coach like his predecessor Pep Guardiola, he was once an assistant and sought knowledge and experience from Pep Guardiola. until the time he handled Arsenal, although it was difficult for him at the beginning, Arsenal gradually became a strong team over the past two seasons. unfortunately, this Arsenal manager did not bring in players as we, the Gunners supporters, wanted, yes, Arsenal needs a pure striker who is productive and can be relied on in the front line. I admit he has a clear vision and mission, about the long-term progress of The Gunners. therefore, he did it with hard work. so, it would be very natural if Stan Kroenke or the club gave him trust by extending his contract at the Emirates Stadium. although Arteta has not been able to present the Premier League trophy, thanks to him Arsenal has provided competition in the Premier League to its rivals. other good news, Gabriel Jesus has been reported to have trained with the main team. in addition, Merino's condition is getting better. unfortunately, the certainty of Odegaard's condition still needs a few more tests, hopefully he will not be absent for a long time.

I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.

Arsenal's target has always been to win the EPL even since more than two decades ago. Arteta was good. He impacted the club. But, they lack a winning mentality.

It has been 5 years since Arteta was at Arsenal, but he could give only 1 trophy to his club. It's a shame to compare his club to their rival, Manchester United. They won two trophies in two seasons.

The winning mentality has always been Arsenal's problem since Wenger was there. It even still continues till this time. I'm always wondering how they can get rid of this problem.

Yes, I also think that Nicholas Jackson is in a state of grace and that thanks to luck he manages to stay there and put in some good performances. In my opinion we can also consider the player as average, nothing exceptional but in any case if he was chosen by Chelsea it means that He has some good characteristics, I hope he continues to do well

As the current first choice striker of a big club like Chelsea, I consider Nicholas Jackson to be the most lucky striker in the English Premier League but to see a news this morning about his contract extension till 2033, I think the Senegalese is now the luckiest striker in Europe at the moment. Personally, I consider Nicholas Jackson as an average player who shouldn't be a first choice striker in a top club in Europe but since fate have given him the opportunity to spend more time at the London club, there's nothing anyone of os can do about than to wish him all the best. Hopefully for him, he outperforms the expectations of his critics which I happen to be one of them. Congratulations to him.

very light rumor about an interest in the situation for Osimhen from Juventus.
The deal with Vlahvic will expire in 2 years, so the last summer it will be the last one where Juventus will have "power" over it.

For now it is nothing but let see how it will evolve in the following months

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

Indeed! Arsenal had really dark days with Arteta at first. Like getting stuck at positions near relegation zone because of having terrible performances. But I'm really glad that the board weren't impatient with him. After a really patient waiting now we have a wonderful team built thanks to Arteta.    They couldn't win any Premier League title yet maybe but I hope one day it will happen too.

Arteta is currently the second best manager after Guardiola in the Premier League in my opinion. I don't remember if I said this before, I believe Arteta might be Guardiola's heir at Manchester City as well. 

The thing with Arsenal as a a club is that they don't easily get rid of their managers even after performing poor for long. I witnessed an era where arsenal ended the league in 8th position twice. It was literally a nightmare for the fans. But we've all seen a different arsenal team for the past two seasons now under the same arteta. I think arsenal has the chance of laying their hands on a trophy this season, seeing the quality of player in the team. Odegaard and Merino should be probably out for couple of weeks. Having those two quality in the midfield will help them in competing for major competition. Congrats to arteta and arsenal fans that still trust the process.


IMO, it's not ideal to make comparison of two players that plays in different position for same club, though we can't say the same when it comes to trophies. Kane is a well known striker, and his duty is literally to put the ball at the back of the net which he has been doing for the club. Musiala happens to be a  very good midfielder considering his current age, which is clearly an opportunity for him to improve. The both of them contribute to the team, so there is no point comparing them. But assuming the clubs eventually face some kind of financial challenges, and might want to get rid of just one of them, then I think harry is Likely to use the exit. That's just the truth, because Musiala still has lots of years ahead of him, and he is a very good player. Whenever I watch Germany or Munich's game, I always look forward to watching him. He is just my star man in both teams. Regardless, there is no need to make comparison as long as the club is fine with both players.

I mean Bayern could have a big part of it without a doubt, they could offer him amounts that he can't refuse, more than any other team in Europe (they probably can't offer more than some Saudi club) so it is still having to do with them a lot. If Real offers him 40 million a year for example, not that Real Madrid needs Musiala, I am just giving an example, and Bayern Munich offers him "only" 20 million, then yeah he could leave. So Bayern Munich has a responsibility to keep offering him the best contract they can afford to offer, without that they are not going to get much.

There could be some other teams who will chase after him, but as long as Bayern offers a good amount, I do not see him doing anything that crazy, feels like it would be just fine. I understand that it is not going to be just that easy to handle, but it's doable. Bayern Munich makes so much money, paying a part of that to Musiala is something they can afford if they want to keep him.

David Datro Fofana career in Chelsea is not run well because since bought from FC Molde on 2022 David Datro Fofana was never gets the opportunity to playing regular with this team although Chelsea was changing the manager several times since he was arrived but his condition is always be uncertain and during with Chelsea David Datro Fofana only loaned to the several clubs and the latest is Burnley and in this team David Datro Fofana performance is not impressive because from 15 matches he only scores 4 goals

I think David Datro Fofana has just make good decision by loan to FC Goztepe because if he stayed in Chelsea i think he has small chances to playing regularly because at Chelsea current squad there are some of forward players such as Palmer, Joao Felix or Sancho and he will be hard to compete against these players to gets one place on Chelsea starting lineup

Musiala and Harry Kane are of course two mainstay players whose positions are difficult to replace at the moment, so Bayern Munich will of course not try to let thir go easily , I  think Kane can't be compared with Musiala considering the position and role of both of them is also very different now, but in terms of sharpness and contribution of course both of them have made a big contribution to Bayern Munich's game so far, I think Kane is a player who is currently very safe both in terms of contract and position at Bayern Munich, but Musiala actually has to be Munich is the main focus for them to pay attention to considering the situation of Musiala who is currently being targeted by many teams, Musiala is still very young and he is a very valuable asset in the future, so it is very appropriate for Bayern Munich to retain him at this time.

I also don't mind if Arteta and Arsenal have not been able to realize their dream of lifting the trophy, but at least we can clearly see that the Gunners squad is one of the clubs that is able to challenge Man City directly for 3 consecutive seasons. So, when Man City is a little careless, Arsenal will be ready to take advantage of the opportunity. In my opinion, this requires Man City as the defending champion to always try to be aware of Arteta aggressiveness with Arsenal in the Premier League.

In my opinion, Jamal Musiala cannot be compared to Harry Kane because both of these players are important players for Bayern Munich at this time and the club will definitely continue to use these 2 players in every match, Harry Kane is a senior player and his experience in the Europa League is undoubtedly the club still needs him in the team no matter even though he is 31 years old he can still stay in the team maybe until he is 35 years old, while for Jamal Musiala the club will try to maintain him as much as they can but also not too pushy if there is a club that is interested and willing to pay a high price maybe Bayern Munich will release him by setting a high price because he is a valuable asset.

You are right that Arteta started from the bottom, he struggled hard to be able to give a better performance with Arsenal, at the beginning many people even doubted and even demanded him to resign from the Arsenal coaching chair because he was considered unable to give his best with Arsenal. However, the management's patience to keep Arteta is now starting to pay off with Arsenal's performance which is getting better from season to season, even in the last 2 seasons they were able to occupy the runner-up position under Manchester City. This season many expect them to be able to break the dominance of Manchester City who have retained the title for 4 consecutive seasons, currently they are a team that I think is also very capable of doing so. As long as they can be consistent and can be better than the previous season.

Moh Salah for free when his contract expires will be loss for Liverpool because besides they will not get money in the sale they also have to spend more money to be able to bring in other players as replacement.
I think the new contract extension can only reach two seasons and for the last season when Moh Salah performance starts to decline to compete with players in the Premier League where the majority of each team has young players will make Liverpool be able to release Moh Salah.
Their target this season is to compete for the championship title because of their failure last season, I quite curious about Liverpool development in the future, maybe in the upcoming transfer market they have also prepared transfer plan to get some more players and make it easier to improve the quality of play.
For his performance at the beginning of this season it was still quite good and hopefully they are able to maintain that performance for longer.

I'm very disappointed with the way Chelsea treated Datro. He’s too talented to be treated like 19 years old player who has never played senior football before. This is really hurting his sale value. It's crazy to make this decision given his levels above Guiu. I would have loaned out Guiu instead of him.

The better for Chelsea to recall Datro at mid-season and give him a proper loan rather than turkish club. His club has let him down in terms of finding him a good loan to develop his performance. He had a good enough loan at Burnley. And i can't believe it how it's not enough to warrant him not ending up at Turkish team.
