Well, to win the EPL a team needs a big squad, the depth in the squad goes a long way to help a team become EPL champions, Arteta knows this, he was a multiple time EPL winner with Manchester City (as their assistant manager). Jorginho's signing is along the lines of bolstering the Arsenal squad, so that there is enough replacements should injuries happen.

Having said that, Arsenal have a very stable squad atm, thus i don't expect Jorginho to break into it immediately and become a main player for them, but his time will definitely come, and i'm pretty sure that notwithstanding the number of minutes he gets under his belt this season for Arsenal, he is going to give his absolute best. Overall Arsenal have done great business this winter and they are set to go all the way to the title.

He deserves better than Leicester City, the move to City is a good move, everyone wants to work under the best manager in the world Pep Guardiola. Leicester have no drive for top four not even top ten position will be achieved this campaign.
James Madison would be a good replacement for Gundogan leaving next season or Kelvin DeBruune whenever he drops in form.
Manchester United won tonight at home they seal the chance to play in the final once again, I hope that they finally get to win the finals.

This is one of the best signings so far in this window. He is still young, has a wealth of experience in the League, European, and Continental Cups, and is extremely excellent with the ball and has a tremendous passing range. While every player has a weakness, Mikel will undoubtedly work on this one. I give it a 6 out of 10, not the greatest Arsenal could have done but still a respectable player. With Jorginho at least Arsenal can say they have cover for partey who is lot better than what they have. I am proud of the bench now, it looks a whole lot better.

Yep. Arteta made a good decision to sign Jorginho. He is an experienced midfielder and he will bring a good impact on the midfield line of Arsenal. His quality is as well as Thomas Partey, Arteta can have many options in the midfield line. If Jorginho can play better, he may be the main player for Arsenal squad. Sure, he is lucky to join Arsenal, he has a chance to win EPL trophy with Arsenal now.  

Most likely, Chelsea did not want to let the player go and did so. I'm sure that at this level, when you're constantly working with documents and doing this kind of thing for more than one year, it's impossible to make a mistake. Even if you consider the human factor, it is possible to make one mistake, but not three, it's absurd, and the player was clearly dissatisfied, because he even offered to help with money so that this issue was solved as soon as possible

The arrival means nothing but rather it's a good addition to Arsenal even if Jorginho has some. Weakness when it comes to age and strength to run around the midfied like partey does.
With the both of them around, they will both help each other as they aim for the premier league for the first time after eighteen good year's.
They should be in the Champions League next season and Europa league this season, so it means to enough games for him to play.

You only opportunities like this once in a while, I believe Rafael leao will be  tempted to join Manchester city if the chance presents itself unless Ac Milan will tie him down with a lucrative deal better than what Manchester city is offering,  when Manchester city comes for you it becomes very difficult to resist and in the point Rafeal has won the Italian seria A maybe he will want to try a new League and have a new challenge or maybe he will have the dream of playing in the premier League or a team like Manchester city so AC Milan really have a work to do if they are to keep on of their best players in the person of Rafeal.

like the rumors circulating it looks like Leao will accept a new contract offer from Ac milan, but the situation could change if ac milan continues to worsen their performance in serie A and fails to qualify for the champions league next season, of course this will make it difficult for ac milan to seduce leao  agree to a new contract.

Ac milan in the winter transfer window did not move to buy new players, ac milan only brought in Devis Vasguez in this transfer market. I think Ac milan is in a financial crisis so ac milan is relatively not buying new players in this winter window.

Milan will not risk keeping him this summer if he refuses to sign a new deal. Getting two numbers between € and m is always better than 0.
I agree that Milan this season is not that interesting as the previous one and this tendency is seen in every Italian club from years. After Juve dominance, no team was able to maintain the first position more than a single year.

When it comes to Rafael Leao I believe Milan have a very tough task to do. Because according to speculations Manchester City are already interested in signing him in the summer. Even hearing about this would be a reason for Leao to hold Milan's offer for a contract extension. Leao is still very young of course but he is very skilled now. I would understand if he becomes impatient about playing for a top team that are a title contender in the Champions League especially.

Manchester City are trying everything they can to win that title so they would like to add a player like Leao also to the team.

For one reason or another, they are just paying way too much for every single player that they got, and they are just spending like there is no tomorrow. I do not think that they could get any success at all this year, looking at how they are right now, it's obvious that they are not really that good at all and they will probably not end up with anything good in the long run.

However, one thing is for sure, we are talking about something that is getting a bit more attention in the long run if they could find a better manager and a better system with the same roster. That part is good, this year is basically just a bad year, and they will stay like this, but their future is bright.

Leao has a contract until the summer of 2024, so even if Milan falls out of the top 4, he will play in Milan for another year even without the Champions League (and of course, if some club does not pay compensation for him). Now Milan is trying to convince him to sign a contract until 2026, but the reality is that since they are interested in the player, they will either have to raise his salary or even add a signing bonus.

Milan are trying their best to extend Leao's contract now. There have been some speculations like they are having difficulties in doing this but let's see.

It won't be easy for Milan to convince him to extend already now. Because Milan are having a really bad season comparing to the previous one. Their defending is horrible and they have started to lose many points. This can push them out of top four at the end of the season. This means that Leao might be eager to leave to play in the Champions League. Even if Milan qualify for it Leao might still make up his mind to leave for a bigger team. Maybe he is already waiting for an official offer from such team.

Jorginho's arrival does not pose a threat to Thomas Partey's position; rather, the duo will form a strong midfield. Arsenal is indeed building a title-winning team, and I believe they will do so this season. Jorginho is extremely fortunate to have joined Arsenal, who are currently in first place, from a team that is currently in tenth place. I believe Arsenal now has the best team to win the league this season without much difficulty.

It's very funny when something like this is unintentional, considering that they sent the wrong document, not just 1 time, but some reports said that 3 times they sent the wrong document. They are professionals and can't get it wrong 3 times in a row.
This is clearly a bit detrimental and even said that Ziyech was already in Paris to undergo medical tests there.

I think precisely with Jorginho's presence at the moment it is to serve as a cover for Partey especially with the current conditions it seems that this season Partey has not gone too smoothly in his career considering he is very prone to injury.
Currently he has to return to recovery after playing against City before. luckily said this wasn't too bad.
With Partey's condition like this, Jorginho's arrival is definitely something good for Arsenal's midfield and he can be a good booster in the midst of accompanying Odegaard and Xhaka.

If we compare the wages of Tielemans and Maddison, the later is more expensive on two grounds because he is English and also younger than Tielemans. But if we look at quality both of them possess it. Even if City gets Maddison he would be a great acquisition because he is a proper attacking midfielder and with only Debruyne there out to out Attacking Midfielder and he needs rest. Moreover Maddison is younger and can be a better back up to Debruyne.


It might not be deliberate but submitting a wrong document three times seems like a careless attitude and also a disrespect to both Ziyech and PSG. Now the player has to come back to without any hope of seeing more minutes and this can dampen his career

Honestly I have imagined him with Partey and Zinchenko controlling the ball in the middle of the pitch, I guarantee it would be the safest place in the world. But it’s not feasible because Arsenal do not play with two holding midfielders. Jorginho is a cover for Thomas Partey and is much better than Sambi Lokonga. He starts on the bench for as long as Partey is fit. Besides they’re still in the Europa league, so he will definitely get more minutes there while Thomas Partey rests.

What a mess with the Chelsea administration for delivering the papers too late. Of course you can also be difficult about everything. But it's still messy. I don't understand PSG's anger. They are not at all dependent on Ziyech, especially for the player himself it seems very annoying to me because he is almost always on the bench at Chelsea. At PSG too, but they have a little more potential to compete for the big prizes than at Chelsea. And salary would also be a lot higher in France. It's a pity for Ziyech. Unfortunately, the transfer from Amrabat to Barcelona was also canceled at the last minute for him.

Well yes, what happens is that Gabriel Jesúis is an essential player, and at the same time I think that the team needs another way of seeing things, until now I like how they have been playing, if they are in full view of other players, I think it's fine, for now these games that Gabriel Jesus won't be in need someone who has the same level of effectiveness, the team cannot be neglected in front, although we see that the team has an excellent midfield, they cannot be trusted, they always do It lacks a striker who is daring and who can give better results, and that is the reason why Gabriel Jesus must recover quickly.


Well, personally I think that Chelsea right now should not leave any player, they have been buying very good players, and for things in life they have not had good results, sometimes things are like that, so I think that for now they should leave these players and form their strategies well to be able to do things better, they already have the material, now what remains is that they can direct them well, and there it is something that they must exploit within their club, and take advantage of the advantages that They are giving the club to be able to do things better, however we have to see many things, how to quickly adapt new players to a style of play and sometimes that can get complicated.

Chelsea still ‘in Lisbon’ for ‘definitive meeting’ to conclude Enzo Fernandez deal




But let's be honest, those who took advantage of the transfer windows the most were at Chelsea, the Ziyech thing was something they missed, however I don't think this will delay the team, whether they are preparing for the next season or not, they should take advantage of these players quickly, because they were not free, so don't give up for now, the numbers don't matter, something we have always seen is that anything is possible in football, and as I have said, I think that many of us learned the lesson in the World Cup in Qatar, where very unexpected and very unusual results occurred.
