How sad is this new one? I'm not sure how you people feel about the sad news of retirement. Did you wish he would keep playing? Lloris has been France's top goalkeeper for many years and has won a world cup with his nation. Because of his advanced age, he believes he can no longer mix club and international play. Because France helped him realize his dream of winning the world cup, he has earned the right to take a break from international competition.

It's an honor for Lloris and France, and not a sad development, please, because France already has good goalkeepers.

Despite previous transfer interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea are now set to clinch a loan deal. I think the challenge was with the loan fee and taking of of his wages for the 6months loan. Atletico Madrid are looking to release a hefty wage from their salary bill in the second half of the campaign, to potentially allow Felix to rediscover his spark, without losing him permanently. Honestly it does look like a good addition for Chelsea. He will improve the team significantly. For the meantime it’ll find a solution to their injury prone players.

Yeah exactly, wouldn't affect the team even if he leaves. But ten Haag feels like he can make use of Maguire or maybe Maguire still has potential to perform at top level. Well given his performances so far he has given reasons to doubt him only. Anyway seems like he won't be leaving United anytime soon so let's see if we can see him performing a top performance for United in next games.

Chelsea has lost several their forward players because of injured and with the arrival of Joao Felix this might be can solved their issue and before this news Joao Felix was rumoured and linked to Manchester United even he almost reached an agreement moved to Manchester United at that time and a bit surprised if Felix has decide to choose Chelsea instead of Manchester United and it say Chelsea have to spend 10 million euro as loan fee and he will be at Chelsea until end of this season and actually Ten Hag really interested to this player but i was wondering about his feeling now after Chelsea hijack Felix and first Cody Gakpo and now Joao Felix that Manchester United has been lost 2 target players this January

Instead of become the most important player in the club and meguire has been destroying his own club since he was moving to the MU. So many MU fans were feeling disappointed once he will be playing for MU. Mostly of MU fans didn't like him. That's what you have called that as a key players for MU. Meguire got so many fans who hatred him. The best choice for him move from united as united didn't need him anymore.
He just like a burden for MU. Ten haag has been taking the right decision by try to sell him as soon as possible.

There's a sad news Hugo Lloris announce his retirement on international football career, so he wouldn't play for France anymore. At least he already feel become a world cup champion on 2018, although it just need one step more to become back to back champion on the previous year world cup. Well it seems Lloris is still playing for Tottenham, but I think his performance will constantly dropped since he's wouldn't trying very hard like before.

France seems already have Lloris replacement, it's Areola aka West Ham's goalkeeper. While Tottenham need to hurry up to find a good replacement since currently the other goalkeepers are have poor performance.

Wout Weghorst is playing well. He is currently being able to show good performance. But I think we have to remember that this is the Turkish league. And probably as soon as he gets back to the English Premier League, he will start performing somewhat badly once again.

So, I think it will be a bad decision to start thinking that just because he’s performing well in that Turkish league, he will be able to perform well in the English Premier League as well.

Weghorst who has played in the Premier League for quite some time with Burnley and wasn't successful there. Probably Erik Ten Hag sees potential in him that we don't see and maybe he is convinced that he will be able to coach him and bring out the best in him if he eventually signs for Manchester United. For the level of trust Ten Hag has in the player we should also give him benefit of a doubt that he can make the situation good with Weghorst.

I have read about Bale's interest in golf in more than two blogs and this is also a confirmation of it. I also heard that most times golf used to interfer in his career when he will  chose playing golf over training. I really doubted that report and now you said it again whether as a joke or not, it really shows that Bale has love for golf more than football

More than Madrid to be exact

However he explained that it was a joke after Madrid's legend Mijatovic blamed him for too much playing golf. But still it was just not the right timing for that joke since he was playing poor for Madrid at that time. Though only childish fans who don't consider him as Madrid's legend. He really deserves it along with other legends such as Casillas and Xabi Alonso.

It goes without saying that no one will ever forget the legendary goal that he scored against Barcelona during his career. There is no one I am aware of who has such a type of heat map. There was no doubt that he was a legendary player. In my opinion, if he had not been injured, he could have played for a longer period of time.

While he was in his prime, he was one of the most dangerous men his opponents faced. To be honest, it is not very surprising that he has decided to retire from football. As we look back on the last few years, especially in light of what has been happening to him, it is easy to understand why.

Cant disagree on that, it's all started when he got injured. I actually didn't hope much on him after his ankle injury on 2016 but somehow he rose and score sick goals in 2018 UCL Final. In the next year, Ronaldo left to Juventus and I was very sure that was a perfect moment for him to lead the team, but another injury hit again and he didn't play better since then.

Harry Maguire has been a key player for Manchester United for some seasons now, guarding the defense line until last season when he started experiencing what I will describe as one of the worst times in his career. He has been a topic of ridicle for been prone to mistakes which resulted to sitting on the bench for most of the games since October. I still wonder how he manages to put up good performances for the English national team and flop at United, I'm not sure if they will retain Maguire or not but for what it is, it wouldn't affect the team if he leaves.

If it is valid news, Man United players should be very happy. 
Harry Maguire has made so much trouble since he came to Man United, he also rarely played now. So, Man United actually doesn't need Harry Maguire anymore, they have strong Center Backs now (Varane-Martinez). For Harry Maguire, moving to Aston Villa will be good for his career. I am sure he will play regularly there, he won't sit on the bench anymore.

According to Bild, Newcastle are interested in a summer move for Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby now.

He is naturally a left winger but he has played on the right wing nearly all the time so far in the season. He has had really impressive stats there as well - 16 matches; 8 goals, 3 assists. He is a really skilled youngster (23 years old) and this would be a good move for Newcastle indeed. His contract expires in 2025. After this news Leverkusen might try to extend with him but I don't think Diaby would rush anything for now. I think he would like to listen to a serious offer by Newcastle especially while Newcastle are doing a great work these days.

The last few seasons have not gone well for Maguire at Manchester United and in fact he has received criticism more often than praise so it is better for him to leave especially with Varane and Martinez now his position has been replaced from Manchester United but on the other hand this is also a failure for Manchester United because we know how expensive Maguire was when he was signed before.

Manchester united needs a good striker that can Replace Ronaldo. I'm very sure ten Hag is good in bringing players that is full of much quality .if Manchester United decides to sign on Vincent Aboubakar I don't think it will be bad for the club,  Vincent still has some good qualities.

There is no doubt that this is a very sad decision made by Gareth Bale. The player was at the peak of his performance when he was at Real Madrid, but injuries caused him to suffer a lot for a short time. As well as providing assistance to his international career, he has also contributed significantly to Real Madrid's success. The stats that he has in his career will allow you to conclude that he is one of the most decorated players in the history of Real Madrid.

The current situation at Ten Hag is that the team needs a lethal striker. As far as I can tell, he is targeting strikers like Joao Felix and Weghorst, who aren't clinical and lethal strikers, who are as far as I am concerned are not capable of providing an adequate service. In the long run, this might prove to be detrimental to them. In my opinion, they should really scout out some good strikers and look into the possibility of signing them.

Harry Maguire is surely not leaving Manchester United in this month. There have been rumours linking him with Aston Villa but the statement from Manchester United side must be enough to end these speculations.

Maguire has been one of the players who are detrimental to the team so far truthfully. His performance in the previous season was horrible. He didn't start very well in this season also. However he was quite impressive in the World Cup. It was like he learned from this mistakes finally and started to be a much better defender. But I still have doubts about his performance in the Premier League. He had better stay as a substitute in league matches especially. These times they are doing well so ten Hag needs to be careful with his player choices.

I definitely agree regarding his potential and some of his legendary goals not only against Barcelona, but also in the champions league final.

I personally think that Bale flushed his career down the toilet at times. He never thrived for being a popular player at all. He wasn't really a team player off the pitch and he seemed to become more and more ignorant towards anyone and anything. When he was sitting on the bench, sometimes even sleeping with some stuff covering his eyes, I was just shocked how such a great player could be so relaxed when he is not even playing. I guess he made a damn fortune and just took the money and that's it. If he had taken a couple of things more seriously, he would have certainly been a candidate for a world soccer player nomination. Too sad we couldn't see more of his legendary moves after his transfer to Real Madrid. I expected much much more from him.

PSG was option for Zidane before start of this season, but he never takes this spot as we all know he was interested in France national team but now things looking completely different because current France national coach already have 4 years extension, and he also rejected few other offers like the USA and Brazil national team coach so where he wants to go in near future nothing is clear with Juventus is also doing good job under coach Algieri which mean they will be not done any change due to their already issues which are having impact on their future but as we know in soccer anything can happen on any day hopefully Zidane will also have for his future which is going to happen in near future because he deserves some good things as he achieves many big ones in his career for national team and club Real Madrid.
