Out of all the transfer updates I have heard today, the most exciting and the one that has caught my attention is that of Azzedine Ounahi from morocco that was one of the highlights of breakout stars from the world cup and has Napoli, Leicester, Tottenham and rumoured Barcelona Interested in signing him.
Quote
Barca boss Xavi has earmarked him as someone who could replace Sergio Busquets, and Napoli see as a replacement for Diego Demme. Leicester, meanwhile, could look to lure him in should Youri Tielemans leave the King Power Stadium, with Arsenal keen on the Belgian.
Ounahi is a young player with a lot of potentials to become much better in midfield as he develops, he is a good choice for any club.

Ounahi definitely was one of the best players that were the biggest surprise of the world cup of 2022. He was one of the main reasons why Morocco was able to reach the semi-final in the world cup which is something that no one would have expected them to achieve before the tournament started. He has a great technique and i still remember his dribblings. So i don't really think that it would make sense for Barca to see him as someone who could be a replacement for Sergio Busquets because obviously Busquets was a central defender. I also see Ounahi as a central midfielder and that is also where he played so far if i am not wrong, so it would no sense to put him in the defense now.

Chelsea keeps gambling with its money. Seeing how big the expenses compared with the income has been making me feeling doubt if chelsea will able to make money. Chelsea has been facing so many defisit on its financial. it seems like that todd has yet gave up with its club. i meant the monry that being used to buy some popular players were so big and it seems like that chesea change its mind to gamble with mon potential player that may get their best performance in the chelsea. lol
it shows that how bad chelsea is. i dont't eve know what's management has been thinking about that. it seems like that chelsea has been trying to gamble with its luck as soon as possible. im feeling disappointed about how bad the performance from chelsea this season. some failure transfers have been making it look even worst

But in general, what the owners of the club invest in it is not so bad. It would be worse if they cut the budget and sold out the players. Now these expenses have not yet brought the desired result, but maybe everything will change. In the end, it was big investments (with the arrival of Abramovich) that once pulled Chelsea out of nowhere to the top level. Of course, it hurts to watch clubs burn money (like United) without results, but there can be no guarantees.

Again and again Chelsea are keep sign new player, the recent transfer is Andrey Santos which is unknown player from Vasco Da Gama, he only played for 1 match without score any goal or assist in this season lol [1]. Chelsea spent for 12.5 Million Euro for this player, I think it's too much for new player that haven't shown any good performance.

This make Chelsea is the top club who spent a lot money than the other clubs, the interesting thing is only Manchester City is able to make profit in the top 10 most money spent clubs [2]. If Benfica make a deal to let Enzo Fernandez join to Chelsea, it would make Chelsea spent for total 464 Million Euro currently in this season!
A club with large finances can afford this, but it is not clear why they choose such a policy, perhaps the reason is that they do not have their own good football school, so they are forced to buy young unknown players who can become useful for the club in the future, and it is also possible to sell them in the future for a much higher price. But 12.5 million is probably really a lot. And as we can see, spending big money does not bring Chelsea any results, they are already in the middle of the standings.

12.5 millions were non sense rate for an amateur player like him. It seems like that chelsea was trying to gamble and it's not even wanna try to stop.Chelsea has become so crazy by gambling with so many players.
It keeps wasting it funds even further. Chelsea was a team that keep burning the owner's money without any good result unlike another team. Manchester city was buying the new player effectively unlike another top coins in EPL.
Newcastle was also spending so much money too under eddie howe

I still don't know why Pogba still has value now, as I know he's an injury specialist, he is rarely played and always plays on the bench. So if any club still wants his service at a higher price, I think the club must fire the agent and talent search. So, Pogba time is over, the golden age of players like pogba is finish, he is different like Ronaldo, if he's not sharp anymore and old, Ronaldo still have Million Social media follower where still have market for merchandise, stadium ticket and television.

Pogba's decline has been seen in recent seasons, especially after he spent a lot of time recovering from injuries. It does seem strange when players who can no longer show their best game and don't even contribute much to the team are still very valuable. Maybe there are other ratings for some people, but for me personally I don't find any advantages so the price is very expensive.
Injuries have made it difficult for Pogba to maintain his form, his performances have often been disappointing since he was still at Manchester United. It is difficult for other clubs to pay Pogba bay-out clause if Juventus set a high price. Pogba selling value has dropped dramatically since he has often suffered from injuries. Pogba future is not as bright as when he was before moving to Manchester United, now big teams don't prioritize Pogba to fill their midfield, there are so many talented midfielders available in the market that are more attractive than Pogba.

Pogba has been crap for years, he had potential to be one of the greatest players in the world. He had everything, strength, pace, power, great shot, good technique, height. He never improved from his first stint at Juventus though. He’s regressed & now offers next to nothing. He played well for France at times but in club football is the definition of average.

I still find it funny Man Utd let him go for £0, bought him back from Juve for £70,000,000 or whatever it was & then let him run his contract down & leave for £0 a second time. How dumb is that!

Sometimes we just don't understand what the CEO's think on these clubs and Chelsea can have the same case, 464 Million Euro is a lot if you think about it but sometimes they think about what we never think about, for example, I could never Imagine seeing a club paying this huge amount of money for Ranldo with this shape while they are just doing this as an investment for their club and their country, however, things are different about Chelsea but I'm sure they did consider everything.

The actual condition of goalkeepers is that until now there is a possibility that discussions about several goalkeepers who were linked previously still exist but are indeed not highlighted and kept secret by the media. But on the other hand, as long as this transfer is still not closed I think they will still try and maybe even they have prepared with some clauses that we don't know.
As for Blind, at this time his arrival is quite appropriate because I read some news about his players after his players in 2022 then Alphonso Davies is having problems with his heart, currently there is Noussair Mazraoui who reportedly has to rest a little longer due to almost the same problem regarding the heart and of course the presence of Blind be the perfect solution in this case.

Whatever Bayern Munich does, I am sure that they are going to do well and make the best choice for the club. And one thing I have been saying for a long time and I am going to again say that Bayern Munich is going to do well in the Bundesliga regardless of what goalkeeper they have. They are going to face the challenge in the Champions League. The problem is Bayern Munich is always going to find it easy in the Bundesliga. And that’s why they will not be ready for a challenge like the Champions League. But that does not mean they should just start selling players and make their team less strong to face competition.

Alphonso Davies having some problems with his health. It’s true. And in a timely and Bayern Munich is not able to have a good amount of stability in the attacking side, not having Alphonso Davies available might be very bad for them.

Instead of Giroud, Felix is the best choice for MU. joao felix is having problems with Simeone, so agent felix is trying to speed up felix's move from the ATM

the issue is if Felix's transfer occurs then Felix will have the status of a loan from ATM and this is quite profitable for MU because if he doesn't make a big contribution then the loan can be canceled and MU doesn't lose a lot of money

Joao Felix played well enough at the world cup, especially when Ronaldo became a second tier player. he plays quite agile and very creative when paired with Gancalo Ramos. Felix can also be used as a winger according to the team's needs, even though he is actually a pure striker. Ten Hag can borrow him or sign him according to the needs of the current team which needs a pure striker. anyway, he's still young. Ten Hag could polish him up to make him a sharper player, like what Ten Hag did with Marcus Rashford.

Other rumors, Manchester United are reportedly going to borrow one of the AC Milan strikers, namely Oliver Giroud. if Ten Hag has an interest in him, of course he can be counted on as a very experienced player on the front lines. MU is also rumored to be interested in Goncalo Ramos, but because Benfica has set a selling price that is too high, it seems Ten Hag is reluctant and prefers another striker who really fits the needs of his team at this time. Supposedly, Ten Hag has started hunting for the players he will bring to Old Tranford this January.

Chelsea spent for 12.5 Million Euro for this player, I think it's too much for new player that haven't shown any good performance.

12.5m is quite alot to spend on a player who is not well known. I think Chelsea is overdoing it. First of all Andrey Santos career statistics is not that interesting I don't see why Chelsea will go out of his way to spend such amount of money to get such a player.
We can only hope now that Andrey do his best to proof all that are in doubt of his abilities because right now I too am in doubt that he's going to do any good in the club.
Andrey Santos is definitely not a player we know, but here Chelsea is a bit confused by this purchase. Maybe there are no other options? but why does it have to be Andrey Santos when Chelsea needs new, experienced personnel? At least have a good career track. Regardless of Chelsea's decision and insisting on taking this one player, I wonder if it will work to increase its performance to the top 5.
Andrey Santos is from Brazil league so it's normal if most of us doesn't know well about him and with his current age 18 years old i think he could be a potential player for Chelsea future and before it Andrey Santos has help Vasco Da Gama promote to Brazilian serie A so he is important player for his former club and moved to Chelsea is big jumped to his career but some of people considers Andrey Santos still not decent to playing at Chelsea so i assume probably he will be loaned to other teams to increase his minutes to play and to upgraded his skill so buying Santos for Chelsea could be inventory because if they can maximized his potention probably Santos could be a great player in the future

De Jong's position is not for a defensive midfielder because he is an attacking type and is not suitable for use in a central midfield because he is an attacking midfielder.
Busquet is too old and he has no intention of being at Barcelona by not signing a contract extension at this time and indeed looking for new players is a natural thing although it is possible to find a new candidate for captain as well for Barcelona.
I agree that De Jong isn't a defensive midfielder, he isn't suitable to put in that position. He is better to play as a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder, he will play more effectively in this position. I think Barcelona needs to sign a new defensive midfielder if they want to have someone to be the successor of Busquet. Sandro Tonali, Declan Rice, Rúben Neves, Bruno Guimarães, and Wilfred Ndidi can be some candidates to be a new defensive midfielder in Barcelona. IMO, these players are the most promising players in that position. They are young, talented (skillful), and have enough experience to play in top football competitions.
These players obviously won't be easy especially for Rice because if we look at some of the rumors that are currently available there are several big clubs who want the services of this player from West Ham and of course the price of this player will also be a little high especially his performance on the field for the season this is still quite good even though it is in a team that is not too balanced.
I think Xavi will still see several players who will be out of contract to be used as replacement options for Busquet but if he still has big money in the midst of the current crisis it is not impossible that he will return to gambling by bringing in good players.

So according to the propaganda, Real Madrid is closer day after day for Jude Bellingham.

I didn't follow him so much but is he worth the 150m they need?


I mean Pogba at his age was one of the best in the world and was valued at 100.


Is he stronger than the Prime Pogba?
Now the era is getting better for the midfield because it's not only talking about Pogba but there are obviously quite a lot of younger midfielders now and of course the influence of injury also for Pogba makes his value less I think.
On the other hand, let's say Tchouameni, who was brought in by Madrid a few seasons earlier at a price of 100 million and now it's not impossible for Jude, even though the news about this player is still confusing because there are so many clubs that want his services.

Well he is a young player with 37 caps and 8 goals but he is not really the type midfielder that would go in to score but he build up attack for his team therefore its kinda understandable that he only scored 8 goals for Vasco Da Gama so far. Either this player is going to make it in Chelsea or probably going on a loan spell to other clubs so its not really a bad investment though

About Andrey Santos, you can see a video of him playing at Vasco and brazilian team

He's going to South American Tournament in Colombia to play for Brazil sub-20, he's not bad, he played at all base teams of Brazil
The season of Brazil starts at beginning of January, it's different than Europe, maybe this is the reason why you found only 1 match he played.

Interesting fact, fans of Vasco are saying Vasco sold Andrey to Chelsea for a very low price hehehe  Cheesy

I don't know who is in the Chelsea scout network.  They're taking a big risk, a club like this shouldn't take such risks.  They should turn to more secure options.  I haven't heard of Andrey Santos before, and he seems to have had trouble playing even for his own team.  I don't think he will be able to play in the first squad for Chelsea.  They will probably rent it out after a while.
The scouting team of a club like Chelsea must contain people who are good at their jobs. If they decided and planned to buy such a young an unknown player, it will be because they have seen his potentials for the future of the club and not just because they have the money to spend. The club is in a transitioning state from what I see, change in owner, change in coach, you should expect a change in players before the club can become very balanced again. Even with the huge amount that Chelsea have spent on transfers already, they are still linked and ready to sign more players, that shows that they are not yet satisfied with what they have.
Not only talent scouts must be filled by people who have high capability, but all positions in Chelsea's management must be filled by people who have the capacity in them. I don't mean to say that the people who play behind the scenes at Chelsea are not professionals, but I would rather suggest not only Chelsea, but all teams. Because, if the position is held by someone who is not an expert in it, it will cause a huge mess for a team.

I highly doubt that De Gea would leave United. If they do not want to resign him then I would understand looking for other goalkepeers but Jack Butland is at most a bench player level, he is not unites main goalkeeper level talented player. I would highly suggest checking that Croatian goalkeeper, he made a name for himself at world cup, and should be cheap.

However, none of that should matter, De Gea would most possibly be ready for whatever they would offer and United could offer a decent money and they could keep him for another few years, a 3 year deal would be fine, he would be still at a good age when that's over and meanwhile they could look for someone younger to replace him.
It seems that this will not happen, judging by the information circulating that David de Gea wants to close his career at MU even though David de Gea's contract with MU will expire in a matter of months, in June 2023 to be precise. The 'Red Devils' still have the option of a one-year extension, but there are reportedly talks about a long-term contract. so I think De Gea will still be at MU even if he made a blunder last night against everton

I am always in favor of clubs transferring such young and potential players.  Andrey Santos, although there are doubts, remember that he is only 18 years old.  He's promising and can give the club a lot of advantages after gaining some more experience.  If the scout team liked him and gave him this money, he is definitely a player with skills.  We just need some time.  Remember he is only 18 years old.
If Chelsea can hone the skills of players and can bring out all their abilities at an unstable age, then they will produce good players. I also support the movement of teams that have goals in signing young players, not just Chelsea. Apart from saving costs, it is likely that the players they train will benefit them in the future, both for achievement and financial gain by selling them at high prices.

In my opinion, this is too hasty to offer such a high price, it is not a wise decision for Andrey Santos. When talking about potential players at Chelsea, I think there are many and on average, of course, potential players. In my opinion, the problem is in the training method for the players in the team to develop their football talent, if Andrey Santos is not properly trained to improve his abilities I think it will be useless to buy even expensive players who have great potential.
I like to see young players with potential being drafted into big teams but if the standard of training is poor I think it will hinder their development.
And there probably won't be a high selling price for profit in the future.
