Manchester United preparations I'm confident for the winter transfer market. it will open in January next year. It has been reported that Manchester United is one of the clubs that will be very aggressive in the transfer market next year.
Well, i don't think Manchester United will be big spenders in the 2023 January transfer market, it is very difficult (not impossible) to sign players of top quality in that time of the year, and not only that, Manchester United have spent a lot of money this summer already, i am not so sure if they will be open to spending big again, just few months after. The acquisition of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez cost the club a lot of money, so they will prolly be reluctant to spend big again.
Manchester United haven't been lucky with lifting trophies in the past season despite their gigantic spending in transfer window. The board and fans are much contended with the players they have signed this summer, I'm not saying that they wouldn't sign when the January transfer marking open, but opening bids amount will reduce as they wil only go for few players. Erik ten hag really did a good job by landing some of his priority players this season and he's doing well for the team. Manchester United have won their key games, like Liverpool and Arsenal.
Winning trophies and winning games isn't just about luck, even when you are lucky you still need a good performance to push that luck to yield good results, Manchester United have been very poor throughout last season we all witnessed the poor form until Erik Ten Hag came in and it looks like things are finally turning around for better so we shall see if they can maintain this form and push their luck this time.

Well it's a fact, Bayern does need a new attacking partner, for me this has many variants, if Bayern had hired CR7 things would look different, because despite everything CR7 is an athlete, CR7 has no problem with help in the defense or cover any position besides that he can resume a game at any time, apart from that he would have been a good friend of Muller, they still have time to acquire him, Mane is very good, but if they can help with someone who is like CR7 I think that Bayern would assure there if a UCL, it would not be bad, but what the managers think is something else, and everyone has to stick to that.
Attacking partner? Bayern needs a pure CF. Yes, Ronaldo is one of the good options for CF position. But considering Ronaldo is 37 years old, I am not sure that Bayern management will try to sign him. Bayern may try to sign a younger CF like Harry Kane. Although it is difficult if they really want to sign Kane because he is the main player in Tottenham. While if they want to sign Ronaldo, I am sure Ronaldo will agree. And it should be easy for Man United management to let Ronaldo goes because Ronaldo is no longer the main player there.

I don't think Ronaldo will be staying after this season in Manchester United, it is time United start searching for a suitable replacement.
Ronaldo is not a problem to Manchester United,  they don't really depend on him, so if he likes he stays or leave Manchester United won't be affected.  Manchester United are doing well in performance presently not even because of Ronaldo's. Ronaldo has only score 1 goal for Manchester United in the Europa League and has not score any goal in the premier league this season. Manchester United has other good stars who are contributing alot for the club to come out best this season.
Ronaldo surely was not the problem at Manchester united and is not the problem, we shouldn’t point fingers at him as the cause of the overall failure of the club. The problem of the team was generally lack of team work, togetherness, good tactics and presence of average performing players who were not even ready to play. I can’t  forget that Ronaldo was the one that put Manchester United on sixth position last season helping them qualify to play European football this season.

Nagelsmann doesn’t need to worry too much yet. Bayern will probably still win the league despite their bad form. There’s only really Dortmund as a proper competitor & they have lots of young players who could choke as the season goes on. Bayern know how to win the big trophies, they have a lot of players with bog experience.

The Bundesliga is the worst league in Europe.
I think that in the last 20 years 90% of wins went to Bayern.

I still don't get why fast there are so much passionate to a league where you can't win.

I agree with you here, I can also do the job at Germany for Bayern Munich. That's no much of a hassle to be honest.  From Pep Guardiola to all of the coaches that must have managed the club has won the league.
The problem I think is from Poor sides who haven't stepped out and up in anyway. Dortmund has shown some challenges but they still haven't achieved that.

Asides Borrussia Dortmund, no other club has come so close to winning the German bundesliga. They should give Nagelsmann more time to handle the club. He should have won the Champions League last season but messed up against Villarreal. Still see they haven't erased that off he's mind.

^  Tuchel was earmarked by Guardiola to replace him at Bayern Munich a few years ago.  I have no idea what really happened but when Guardiola left Tuchel stayed for another year at Bayern and eventually went to PSG.  Tuchel was the up and coming manager at the time and Bayern would've sign him on with question.  But now?  I'm not so sure the Bayern Munich brass would be so keen on having him.


And is Nagelsmann really under threat?  I think it would be a mistake letting him go this early.  But if they do let him go, he'd make a good replacement for Guardiola whose contract is set to expire next year.
I read during the weekend of a statement by the club president stating that the club is patient and still have support for the current Bayern manager and though Bayern Munich at one point had interest in signing Thomas Tuchel but I think that time has past and I don't see a possibility of Tuchel coming back to Bayern Munich, not this season in my opinion Tuchel should be looking elsewhere for a job.

Oliver Khan still believes in Nagelsmann so the sacking won't happen and gives him the opportunity that he can do to analyze why this could happen in the Bundesliga while in the Champions League it's performing better, I know this will be a lot of concern from all sides but the young coach Nagelsmann able to do it and it has been bad in the last 4 games but we will see how big it is after this bad in the Bundesliga.

The acquisition of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez cost the club a lot of money, so they will prolly be reluctant to spend big again.
I also don't think that Manchester United will do any big transfers this winter. As you already said it is very hard to make big transfers during the season. One big reason for that is that the player that you sign in January or so is not eligible to play in the european cups in that season if he already played in a european cup for another team before and this would probably be the case for every player that is interesting for Manchester United as they are probably looking for a player that significantly improves the quality of their squad and such players are usuallly already playing for big clubs that are participating in a international championship.
Most chances now they will be not involved in next winter transfer window because they already have their targeted players now it's time for Ten Haq to do some system and use them in better way for having their required results because this team deserves better end in this season with current players and their performance after having two defeats in start of this season.

Right now, their main target is staying into top four which will give them chance for next year's Champions League just because of this they have few players which are surely having enough quality to do things which are suitable for them their first game in Europa Cup was also not good, but they fight back in second with Ronaldo is also doing good which is also positive development hopefully now they will do good in both competitions.

Considering that Bellingham is expected to ask for a move in the winter transfer window, Dortmund have issued a statement regarding his availability - and he'll be allowed to leave for 150 million euros.

That would make him the most expensive Englishman - and 3rd highest transfer overall. Smart move from Borussia, they know they will lose him in the summer so they have put a premium on his price that some clubs might be willing to pay. Not Liverpool though - this is way out of our league.
Borussia Dortmund management understand how things works in transfer window as their main business is all just bring youths and sell them on higher price as they have done many times in past right now two strong contenders for Jude Bellingham first one is Real Madrid and second one is Liverpool with current situation and price tag most chances Real Madrid is going to win this race because Liverpool is not going to invest amount like this as they already have one big investment, and it's not as they were looking for so here most chances no one going to challenge Real Madrid, and they are going to steal this quality player because now most chances they are not going for Mbappé which is fixed for PSG, and they can bring this new soccer sensation which is surely going to increase their quality and performance in the future.

first of all Pjanic, he is not young anymore
secondly, if Barcelona can sell this player, they will be able to get a good amount of money, obviously going down from playing in the La Liga to playing in the UAE is going to be a major downgrade for the player, but i don’t think Pjanic should mind at this moment because i believe that he is looking for a good retirement plan right now, and going to UAE where the competition is not big and the money is good seems to be a good retirement plan for any player
But this is something that can be degrading on the one hand but very gratifying on the other, obviously for money the player leaves and will be very happy, something that will enter each game and obviously it is a very good deal for Barcelona that a lot of money has been spent, it is something that they have to assume, on the other hand, the player will have more minutes on the field playing official matches, because I do not think the level will drop, now Barcelona has acquired many good players and this has made the majority of people bet that Barcelona can even win the UCL, then it is possible that this is not a bad thing.

honestly, i don’t think there is any space for this player on the team, especially after Barcelona has acquired some great players in such a short time, and the situation with Barcelona is that they need to work with younger players from now on, because they need to think about the future of the club, and that is not possible after a certain time if they keep working with old players
Pjanic has become old and obsolet, so, i think Barcelona can afford to let this player move on
and obviously, they will also be able to use the money that they get, to buy younger ones

Yes, what you say makes a lot of sense, young people are always new blood, they have more options to do things better, they no longer have many fears, they come with a different mentality, there are many who do not even respect the trajectory of a player on the field of play a born player and that he is famous, this is something that can be defined as something good and bad at the same time for a team, the good thing that stands out is that since they are not afraid of any kind, it can happen that accidents or eventualities of great pressure do not He leaves them there at the mercy of their nerves, while the bad thing is that they do not have enough experience to face some events on the field that a veteran does.

Well, i don't think Manchester United will be big spenders in the 2023 January transfer market, it is very difficult (not impossible) to sign players of top quality in that time of the year, and not only that, Manchester United have spent a lot of money this summer already, i am not so sure if they will be open to spending big again, just few months after.

The MU is a team that has been very bumpy, has many problems, the truth is a team that even the coach himself has not found what he should, for me it was a very bad choice Ten, however the players are very good and they have stars, but they don't know how to take advantage of or get the most out of what they have, for me they have to improve and do something that harmonizes them, as long as they continue with everything as they are, each player will be on their side, and maybe the next window transfer in January everyone wants to leave, because no player likes to be in a totally losing team.

So for now they are getting some oxygen, but I think now they will have to do a lot to keep them from leaving.

Oliver Khan Bayern Munich chief executive officer had reiterated his support for Julian Nagelsmann  to continue with job as their manager, though the club had been struggling lately in their domestic league while doing well in UCL having defeated Barcelona and Inter Milan respectively however, I don't think Thomas Tuchel stand a chance of getting that job now,  I am very sure that Julian Nagelsmann will improve the team and bounce back to their winning ways, the league had just started there is room for improvement, though they are currently in fourth position and five points behind the leading team on the table.

Without a doubt, Oliver Khan gives his support to Julian Nagelsmann because he knows that he is a very good coach, besides, Bayern is going through a very strange moment right now, they are losing games that they should not lose, but they are ensuring their gain in the UCL, without However, I think that one of Bayern's biggest priorities is to win the UCL no matter what, because last season they trusted and beat them, although I think that if they had beaten Villareal I would have been the champions, of course we can make this kind of speculation having take into account a failure of Real Madrid where the Germans would have taken advantage, but it is only a guess.

After losing Robert Lewandowski surely they were late and fail to have their desired player in team which is surely hurting them in current situation their targeted both players have committed and now most chances instead of this Winter transfer window they will be able to have their targeted player Harry Kane in next summer window because after current performance in Bundesliga surely they are missing one attacking striker which is important for them.

Sadio Mane is surely a quality replacement, but he is not like which settle in Bayern Munich current setup so most chances we will have changes in coming season because they are must if they want to keep their hold in German League which is currently struggling badly with their abilities which are not giving their best.
Bayern Munich not have much time after leaving by Robert Lewandowski before transfer did almost at deadline days, arrived Sadio Mane still not enough depending until several games with Bayern in domestic league or Champion League he can't replace Lewandowski as machine goals for Bayern on evert match. Have second chance for Bayern get replacement from position leaving by Lewandowski in next January window transfer, how ever have postponed match when World Cup held at the end November give chance for Bayern controlling which one potential central forward have get deal.

Ronaldo has only score 1 goal for Manchester United in the Europa League and has not score any goal in the premier league this season.

Its a problem in fact they still need to pay him hefty sum of money either if he is playing or on the bench. Basically Ronaldo is not the type of player that would be comfortable sitting on the bench so Ten Hag is left with the option of subbing him in regularly even if it isnt needed to so there is an extra slot of substitutions being wasted just to let him play even when the club doesnt need him

Thomas Tuchel is interested in the Bayern Munich coaching job, according to recent reports. A return to management is a goal for Thomas Tuchel, and he is interested in the Bayern job, even if he has to lower his salary to earn less than he earned at Chelsea. The current manager of Bayern Munich will be sacked if Bayern Munich fails to win their upcoming game. His pattern, however, will prevent him from succeeding at Bayern.

I think Thomas Tuchel's style of play was somewhat identical to whatGuardiola often deployed during his time at Bayern Munich, he often plays 3 CBs irrc correct, other than being able to handle the kind of players that'd be at his disposal, I'm not sure he'd have too much of difficulty to thrive there, Bayern Munich have not being in great form and it's due too the players they've lost too, especially Lewandowski who make the games pretty much easier for them.


And is Nagelsmann really under threat?  I think it would be a mistake letting him go this early.  But if they do let him go, he'd make a good replacement for Guardiola whose contract is set to expire next year.

He could be under some real threat especially if there are other problems with the squad, and not just the recent terrible form, but when is the last 3 time Bayern Munich have failed to win any of 4 consecutives matches, with only of those 2 teams being above the middle of the table.

If we talk about the result, then United certainly got better, but I would not say that the victory over Liverpool or Arsenal was natural and was the result of a good game. Ten Hag didn't come to United to keep United as a dangerous middle team who can sometimes beat anyone. The targets have been more ambitious and despite recent acquisitions that United have made in a hurry, I still do not see global improvements.

I understand players being overpriced and all sorts of deals flying around these recent years, but Bellingham isn't worth anywhere near that value, and I don't think any team would be desperate enough to pay that much especially because of his position, if it were to a forward, the chances might be higher but not with him. There are some better playing midfielders out there that'd the teams would give up for less than half that price, and they certainly aren't overhyped.

He's English, in today's market it automatically adds 30% to the transfer fee due to the quotas of English players that the PL clubs must have.
Just look at the asking price for Declan Rice, or the fee paid for Kalvin Phillips - and both of these players are nowhere near Bellingham's potential.

The fee is also higher because nobody wants to sell in the winter window. I don't think it will be triggered, but I see him leaving for 100mil+ in the summer.
