There are lot of factors involved behind high price of Antony. First of all, Ajax lost lot of crucial players in the transfer window and they didn't wanted to lose another crucial player especially one from the attack line. Secondly, United wanted this player and they had to make an irresistible bid to make this move happen. Yeah 100m is a lot but they needed the player especially when there isn't any strong player in the right wing position except for Elanga. Greenwood was their strongest player but he is suspended by the club so naturally they wanted someone strong and talented and so they got Antony.
Greenwood now doesn't seem to be able to be included in the discussion about MU's development because of the case he did and in this case MU must move quickly and actually, regardless of the price, Antony is one of the players to be reckoned with.
United know their capacity and where they lack it so a price like that doesn't matter as long as their form goes up and now it looks like the fans don't feel like Manchester United are at a disadvantage after Antony's arrival at OId Trafford.
For a while I have not heard or read anything on Mason Greenwood, I don't know how far his case has gone and if their are hopes of him wearing the red devil's jersey again. I can't wait for this whole saga to go down and see him back on the pitch again becuse I really miss the lad, fine player who was dubbed the new Van Persie. Manchester united seem to be moving on already with Anthony at the moment but I have faith in Greenwood to return and fight for his position.

I heard rumors that Ronaldo is moving to Chelsea if that is  true it is fine. To me I think I would just prefer him to remain in Manchester United,  already Manchester United is becoming hot in performance.  It is not yet certain if Chelsea can be tough in performance anytime soon.
Most likely the rumors about Ronaldo's departure to Chelsea are getting stronger, because now Tuchel has been kicked out of the Chelsea training chair, after Chelsea was bent by dynamo Zagreb with a score of 0-1 in the Champions League, actually Boehly's relationship with Tuchel did not get along at the start of the season. this, the reason the two are not familiar is because of the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer problem, Tuchel refuses to bring in Ronaldo while Boehly is very adamant about bringing Ronaldo, because according to Boehly bringing Ronaldo is to provide profit for Chelsea from the commercial side.

The source is claiming that Barcelona are still going to pursue Bernardo Silva transfer in January. Because their salary cap has been increased by £490m.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/barcelona-transfers-mancity-bernardo-silva-27956287

Manchester City have stated before that they aren't intending to sell Bernardo Silva. I don't think that their decision would change easily unless they find a better alternative than him. These days I only see Neymar for the position. However his cost to Manchester City would be incredibly high. I don't think that they would think of taking a risk by signing an older player for a much higher value. If Barcelona are ready to spend very much money then they can try to bring Neymar back to the team for example. However I don't know what Xavi would think about that. Because this might mean a change in his system which he might not like to do.

Karius was not a bad goal keeper in Liverpool, what I discovered is that he isn't a big game keeper. Whenever I see the name Karius I'll remember champions league finals between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Karius was nothing less that disappotment in that match. But he could do well in Epl. This will mean that he got another opportunity to provr himself in Newcastle, what I don't know is if he is still young to handle the goal post, I don't know his age. Age is always not a problem for goal keeper as they can be in the post till their early 40s, Oliver Can, Van dar sar and Bufon did well even at their old age.
Congratulations to Newcastle, you will be a great club but not definitely this season.
Yes, Karius wasn't a bad goal keeper after all, he just wasn't lucky in terms of getting playing time and being able to outshine Allison and going up the pecking order in his stay at Anfield especially after that disappointing show in the champions league final to Real madrid i think that was the game that sealed his spot on the bench lol. Hopefully he can come back stronger when he moves to Newcastle and get a chance to show his quality and revive his reputation.

what i understand is that Potter previously managed an underperforming team, and if he did not do well with that team
he wouldn’t have anything to worry about because everybody knows that he does not have enough resources anyway
You are wrong, Graham Potter was very successful in bringing Brighton to end the season at number 9 last season. A total of 12 wins, 15 draws and 11 defeats are statistics which are still much better than Everton and Aston Villa. But Graham Potter has no experience at a big team like Chelsea, but the real challenge is just beginning.

Basically the Chelsea squad is better than Brighton, so Graham Potter has the opportunity to bring his team to play well from the next match. Unfortunately we have to be a little patient to watch the match because this week there will be no match after all the matches have been postponed. So Graham Potter was in training camp to get to know his players better.

i also understand the logic behind this
however, in all honesty, i cannot agree with the notion that Graham Potter is going to be able to bring better results than what Zidane or Pochettino would have been able to achieve under their management, there is no doubt that he is a good coach, and he has done well with whatever resources he has been given, but i am unable to believe that he is a better option than any of the other two, there would have been no doubt that Zidane would have been the best choice among these three coaches
in spite of that, since Chelsea has already made the decision, i would like them to succeed

It's just a rumour and nothing being confirmed so far. We have passed the transfer season and then you shall wait pretty long time for the next transfer season to come. He has no good contribution to the club and that's why he was being targeted by meme creator. So far 0 assist 0 goal from 7 match. That's why people are using 007 to blame his performance with MU. I do like he was stay on MU rather than going to the chelsea.
He will be blamed again if his performance in the new club will as bad as when he was in united. No reason for chelsea buy him from MU. Chelsea can get a better option than him.

Aubameyang's quality is still quite good, it's just that he is not young anymore, of course it will greatly affect his performance, but I think for the next 1 or 2 seasons Chelsea can still rely on him as a coating for the rotation of players so that the team's appearance remains stable. now he has plenty of time to adapt as the Premier League is currently undergoing a delay due to the death of the queen of England.
At 33 years old, I think footballers are still physically strong and I think Aubameyang still has a chance to play aggressively at his age. he is no stranger to the atmosphere of the English league because he used to play with Arsenal. maybe he needs the right figure in passing the ball to him. Graham potter has many quality players in the Chelsea squad so we will wait for Chelsea scheme of play under Graham potter in this upcoming match. I think graham potter should present his first win with chelsea against RB Salzburg.

At this moment,Aubameyang is not the type of attacker Chelsea should have been looking at now,they should have looked at a young striker who can take the club to a new height, Aubameyang is old and he is no longer as vibrant as a young attacker like Gabriel Jesus and Haaland.I know he was scoring goals while he was at Barca,but his services was no longer needed there ever since Lewandowski arrived at Barca.But Nevertheless,let's see how his performance will be like in his first season at Chelsea.
Chelsea new striker Pierre Aubameyang is a good striker but his presence in Chelsea won't be suitable for him since he would take time before he adapts to blues pattern. When he was still playing for Barça, he was sharp and scoring goals was his best qualities and the catalans believe him not until they brought in Robert Lewandowski who presence kept the Gabonese on the bench. So Pierre got no option than to move to Chelsea who were interested in him. I don't think he's that active as before and 33 years of age.

Graham Potter is not new to English football, he has a lot of experience with English football although his career has not been very prominent.
IMO, however, he already knows his job as Chelsea's new coach and it looks like what he's going to do first is to mix the new players with the old legions. Incidentally, one of Chelsea's new signings is a former Potter protege at Brighton, Marc Cucurella. That way, Portter's job is only to mature Wesley Fotana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Aubameyang, to Raheem Sterling, through his game scheme. as they said, this was no easy task for Potter but at least he knew what he was going to do.

And the rest let's see if Portter can survive in the Chelsea hot seat.

Normally they would have allocate a lot of time to think of the right transfer for this position. But they focused on signing defenders mainly while they needed a solid striker the most. They realized this very late and they had to act fast as a result. Aubameyang is still a good transfer of course but they had a lot of money to spend on a striker at the same time. If they had more time they could have made a bigger signing.
Yes, Chelsea too focused on building their defensive line, they forget they have no strong strikers. They are too late to sign Aubameyang, this player is exactly what they need since the first match of this season. I am sure Chelsea performance won't be so badly, and they maybe still in the top 4 on EPL table if Aubameyang played for Chelsea earlier. Chelsea scouts worked very poorly in the last transfer window.


Chelsea needs to adapt with the new coach and all of players must do that as well. This is become another difficult time for chelsea. New coach and different atmosphere for the club. The team may not perform so well again caused by chelsea was playing under new coach that have been making some changes in the club. That means if the next match will not become a good match for chelsea. I doubt that if this club can perform so well in this season consider from so many bad things happened with the club.

It's not necessarily like that because we've only seen him play once and we know that Auba is often a blessing to his team. Not just once because it happened several times. Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona have felt it and it is not impossible that Chelsea can also feel it.
At this time I think even though he is not young anymore, he is still influential for now.

Indeed Chelsea always with young players but they have no choice because they are late in transfer activities
We can imagine what happens if Chelsea does not bring Aubameyang they must be a lack of striker
I'm sure Aubameyang won't last long, maybe only one season then Chelsea will return to the main formation.

This is a huge step in Potter's career, if he can make a positive impact with Chelsea that would be written down in history it will be the best move ever in his career because not only will he be a hero but he will gain more recognition in Europe and the world at large. He was doing a great job at Brighton and I will love to see him succeed at Chelsea. I'm quite enjoying how much the young coaches are performing and doing so well in the league, this could probably be the beginning of a new era in the coaching world.
But it can also be a double-edged sword because as you said, if he manages to lift Chelsea's form obviously his future will be brighter but if he doesn't it would be quite an incredible joke and the same could have happened when Rangnick replaced Ole. in this case.
But indeed in this case he did not want to waste the opportunity and that is one of the good things I can see from Potter.
It will truly begin a new era to the coaching world if Graham potter succeed at Chelsea, it will change how people look at good coaches when they are playing for a small club, for me he deserves the switch, because he has been playing good football for years now at the premier League and has been link to arsenal and Tottenham in the past too so is good to see what he can do at a big club, and is also a big moment in his life also  just last week he is coaching Brighton and now he will be in charge of a team that will be playing champions League football that has world class stars in the dressing room.
Is not it a big problem for the chelsea itself? i guess that if chelsea needs more than only a coach. I meant a new coach with so many experience will be very beneficial rather than a new coach that was coaching the small clubs. Champion league was actually become a huge pressure for him to show the performance from the team. I don't even think that will be a good thing for graham. I just wanna see how the first week of graham will be. If that was showing another bad performance and im not feeling doubt if he may be shacked again like tuchel.

Chelsea needs a solid replacement for Lukaku but the club have not been able to get a suitable replacement for him, some names like Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Richarlison were targets in the summer window but none worked out, luckily they got Aubameyang before the deadline. Chelsea fans can only hope Aubameyang can deliver and be the game changer the club so desparately needs.

It was a decision made very quickly by Chelsea indeed. Normally they would have allocate a lot of time to think of the right transfer for this position. But they focused on signing defenders mainly while they needed a solid striker the most. They realized this very late and they had to act fast as a result. Aubameyang is still a good transfer of course but they had a lot of money to spend on a striker at the same time. If they had more time they could have made a bigger signing. Maybe we might see a move in January depending on his performance level.
