ten Hag seems quite eager to keep Harry Maguire in the team now. West Ham's recent loan offer has been rejected by Manchester United side.

I think they did the right thing by not sending him in this transfer window. Because in that case they will need to fill his place with another defender. It is quite difficult to sign a solid defender in the middle of the season. Maybe they were going to rush things in the last days of the transfer window and make a bad move. I'm not a fan of Maguire though. I still expect him to leave at some point but it shouldn't be right now.
As far as I know, Maguire didn't perform well since he joined Man United. So, why Ten Hag really wants to keep him on Man United squad? It seems a bit strange to me, Maguire isn't the key player for Man United and having him doesn't impact significantly. If Ten Hag wants good substituted defenders, he can look for new defenders who have a more potentil future than Maguire. I don't see any benefit to keeping Maguire, he is better to be loaned or sold to another team.

Well, you are right that probably Ten Hag doesn't have enough time to find a new defender to replace Maguire position. But if he already planned it a few months ago, he must target and may sign already new defenders before this January transfer season started. It is a bit late if Ten Hag just think to find new defenders now.


Maguire doesn't seem to be more than just backup for Ten Haag, so he's only being kept at the club just for emergency purposes, I understand that Harry Maguire have been nothing but extremely awful at Man United, but he was and is a better player when representing the England national team, so he might turnout to be just a good defender that he used to be, if he should leave the club.

Ten Haag seemed to have found a better defensive partnership with pairing Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane at the centre back, but it is to be seen if that partnership is better off than one with Linsadro Martinez.

Guess what? Bayern Munich already make an agreement with Yann Sommer, the official announcement is expected will be announced on Thursday. Well Yann Sommer is really a good goalkeeper even he's playing for Borussia M'Gladbach which is one of weak team in German Bundesliga.

I think Bayern Munich's fans doesn't need to worry anymore since Sommer will replace Neuer, so Bayern Munich has a good chance to beat PSG in Champions League.
Bayern Munich must think about this, because they will be quite busy in several competitions in the future, especially since Manuel Neuer has been absent until the end of the season due to a broken leg injury. Yann Sommer was purchased as an option to replace and cover Manuel Neuer, as Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has explained on several social media previously. Yann Sommer is considered suitable to temporarily replace Neuer, because the goalkeeper also has good quality at Borussia Monchengladbach and the Swiss national team.

Yann Sommer needed a bit of adaptation to be in Julian Nagelsmann's squad, so he was able to play well and be able to provide positive results for Bayern Munche in the future, because if he failed then his career would be at stake.

There are reports that Atlético Madrid are close to signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona in a deal worth around £3m. A mixture of injuries and form concerns have ruined his 2022-23 season so far. So instead of sitting on the bench, I think it’s a good move for him because he has struggled this season, making just four appearances and scoring one goal across 206 total minutes.
I  hope that depay will be happy to play in the new team with new teammates too. He shall not waste more time in Barcelona.
Depay had an okay start to life in Barcelona in his first campaign. But the second season was a bit challenging for him. Much was expected of Depay when he joined Barcelona from Lyon in the summer of 2021, but he has largely failed to live up to that hype. He will now try to get his career back on track at Athletico Madrid under Diego Simeone. I have a feeling that Simeone’s setup could allow Depay more freedom in his role.
Depay struggled in Manchester United but end up been super star in Lyon. Then in Barcelona he's facing match fitness after his poor world cup appearance, I think he has to work on his Body fitness, he's getting fat and lacking control on the ball. If Barcelona wants to sell him to altetico Madrid good for him.  He will has to prove that he's fit to play again in Altetico Madrid.
To be frank ,I no longer enough Deplay game, he has lost his pace and speed.  I hope he sign to altetico Madrid and help the club bounce back to winning ways. Altetico Madrid is still struggling in the league this season.

Chelsea are cornering Arsenal in the race for Ukrainian starlet Mykhailo Mudryk has joined Chelsea for a fee of 100 million on a 7-year contract.
Mykhailo Mudryk, a 22 year old player, is Shaktar Donestk's mentor and he is a star and has always been the best player at his club Shaktar, Mykhailo Mudryk has played 44 matches with 12 goals and 17 assists and has given 1 Ukrainian Cup trophy to Shaktar Donestk in 2018/ 2019.
in terms of the quality of the players who are positioned as midfielders, this is quite good, but for the price that is too expensive, I think Chelsea will have high hopes for his performance, this is a little burdensome.
he could possibly make his debut this weekend when Chelsea will face Liverpool.
It is so disappointing that Arsenal lost out on the deal for Mykhailo Mudryk who was highly rated by Arsenal as the perfect backup for Gabriel Martinelli before Chelsea sneaked in and made a deal worth £100m with Shaktar Donestk, now Arsenal have to look at other options in the market and move quietly now that they know Chelsea are snooping around and stealing deals lol.

The only name that comes close to becoming a Munich goalkeeper is Yann Sommer, although there have been various controversies over bringing Sommer to Bavaria this January. for sure, Bayern still has Sven Ulreich and they have to give him a chance to prove his worth.

I learned that Harry Maguire may move to West Ham obviously he is not worth Manchester United bought him. Despite this, he has the chances of still being a fit as good defender in some other teams. Since he moving to West Ham on loan, I think there may be like an option to buy him. However, I feel that until Manchester United gets a replacement for him, he is not going anywhere just yet.
I always have the feeling that English players are always overly hyped whether in term of performance or price. The asked price in the market for them is at least twice their real value. Grealish and even Kane last year had a large amount that was asked for.
Back to Maguire, he is a normal player that might play good in one game and fail in 5 making his team at risk... He isn't fit to play with big teams imo.
They got priced when they were at their prime. Once those players who already bought with overvalued price will be performing so badly in the new club and then people will realize if this time so many clubs were just putting non sense price tags for their players. Thinking about loaning him to another club is far better rather than seeing meguire always sitting on the bench. The decision will be made by ten hag. It seems like manchester united is still trying to believe if Maguire is still having the potential to go back again to his best performance.
I think that the price of players these days was over priced. So many clubs were just trying to rob money from each other. Meguire itself has proven if a man who worthed lots of money has become useless player in a short time.
Most of clubs shall learn about how to not gamble with players that priced so high

I cannot deny that Mykhailo Mudryk is one of the best players who have a lot of quality...
We hope the expectation we have of him are not disappointed and reduced watching play his first game which will be against Liverpool, because I watched Wout Weghorst against Crystal Palace and he did not impress me at all, He was too slow. Many supporters of the club say he was impressive because he was constantly taking the attention of defenders from other players, giving them a chance to score like the first goal scored by Bruno Fernandes, but I do not agree, Felix had and impressive debut, Weghorst did not to me. Maybe it is just because it was his first time playing with the team, but against Arsenal I expect to see better if they are going to win, else just get Rashford and Garnacho back to that position for them to win.

that's a very small amount of money. Barcelona was selling him in a big loss again after he bought from MU during the van gaal era. It seems depay was very tired of waiting for regular time to play caused by xavi didn't wanna try to waste an opportunity by not letting Lewandowski play. he has made a good decision if depay was really moving to the Atletico Madrid. Barcelona may be interested in such offer considering Barcelona was always selling its players in big loses like that. I hope that depay will be happy to play in the new team with new teammates too. He shall not waste more time in Barcelona.
Depay can play better games in Atletico Madrid.  When we remember the times when he had problems in Barcelona from time to time and he was not played, we can say that he left behind a difficult period for him.  Depay is a player I like very much, but he couldn't hold on in Barcelona.  Atletico Madrid could be a team for him to be reborn.  I would love to see him showcase his individual talents.

The Transfer Tavern; Chelsea: Blues could move for Moises Caicedo by the ‘end of the week
Source: https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/chelsea-blues-could-move-for-moises-caicedo-by-the-end-of-the-week/amp/

Chelsea could make a move for Brighton and Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo by the ‘end of the week’, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. The Premier League giants have reportedly made it their mission to sign a new central midfielder before the end of the window, and the 21-year-old has been identified as an ideal candidate.

CBS reporter Ben Jacobs recently revealed that Graham Potter’s side are exploring a deal for the Ecuadorian, who is valued at £75m, but could find a transfer difficult to negotiate as a result of his contract at The Amex not expiring until 2025.Caicedo has had an excellent 12 months, ranking in the top third of midfielders across Europe in four of the top five defensive metrics (FBRef), suggesting he could really add some steel and bite at the base of Potter’s midfield.

Chelsea football club are very serious in this transfer window, already they have spent about £400m and still looking to add more. Reports suggest they're now favorite to secure the signature of the Brighton midfielder ahead of 2 other premier league teams. I have watched Caicedo play and he's good at his role. So far he has started majority of Brighton matches this season and has been impressive.

Him coming to Chelsea will definitely be an additional strength to the team especially as it seems we have having difficulties at the midfield. Liverpool are also trying to get his signature bit it seems Brighton aren't in a hurry to let him go and will only do that at the right price which means if Chelsea were to secure this deal, we might be looking at another big money signing and at this rate I just hope the Financial Fair Play rules doesn't catch up on Chelsea because that'll obstruct other future plans in coming transfer window.

I have the same thoughts about Harry Maguire. If he plays well in one game, he plays very badly in a few games.  I still think about the transfer fee that Manchester United paid him, why they paid so much. In my opinion, English football players are transferred with too much transfer fee. This is definitely not normal.

I hope this report will become a reality, considering that actually I am very sorry to see Harry Maguire now because he is only sitting on the bench and that cannot be separated from his poor performance when he appeared in Manchester United's starting line-up. If West Ham United are interested in borrowing Harry Maguire, that's pretty good, at least he can get a main place in the West Ham squad later and can correct his mistakes at the start of the season.

Manchester United was bought him from Leicester City because they impress with his performance even he has help Leicester to gets Premier League trophy and his first season with Manchester United also quite good that he can adapt quickly with the manager strategy at that time but indeed i don't know what happend to Maguire because since last season he cannot return to his top performance again even Maguire did so many blunder which makes Manchester United lose and now there is no more place for him in Manchester United because Ten Hag will more likely to played Shaw and Varane or other duet Martinez and Varane on Manchester United defensive lines and they were very solid always performing well for every matches so left Manchester United will be the best option for him if Maguire want to save his career especially Manchester United has been allow him to looking for new clubs this January and maybe WestHam is the right club for him

Bayern Munich even left it late to acquire a new goalkeeper. Manuel Neuer was already too old. They need to adapt a younger goalkeeper to the team and raise him to be like Neuer for many years. However, Emiliano Martinez is not a suitable candidate for this. He is both old and irresponsible. It is difficult for him to adapt to the discipline of Munich.

Emiliano Martinez has turned 30 years old. for a goalkeeper, at least he can still exist for the next 7 seasons. if Martinez is not the goalkeeper in charge, how can he be the main goalkeeper for Argentina. he is also believed to be the main goalkeeper at his club Aston Villa.

IMO, Martinez has a style that is as little controversial as it is, nothing more. linked with Bayern Munich. Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn was interested in the Aston Villa keeper, but there were no talks regarding bringing him to Bavaria this January. In fact, there have been many names being linked with becoming Bayern Munich's goalkeeper for the second half of the season. but so far, no official statement has been issued regarding the arrival of any of the goalkeepers to Bavaria.

The only name that comes close to becoming a Munich goalkeeper is Yann Sommer, although there have been various controversies over bringing Sommer to Bavaria this January. for sure, Bayern still has Sven Ulreich and they have to give him a chance to prove his worth.
For a goalkeeper it is normal to have longer career period, as a goal keeper 30 years is almost an average age and some goal keepers even reach their prime in their 30's. Some goalkeepers even play until age 40 so imagine Emiliano Martinez having up to 10 years more to play.  It looks like the trending rumour about Martinez joining Bayern Munich have died down after weeks with no official statement made about this by Bayern Munich.
It would be great to do a lot of things with Dibu, if he goes to Bayern it would be a great experience for the team, if Dibu Martinez joins a Bayern where they quickly need a great goalkeeper, it's something I could contribute a lot, especially for the moments where they go to penalties, because he is a master saver, if Bayern hire him it would be great, they should give him the opportunity, I think he would get along very well with Muller, they are players who, when it comes to having games with a lot of Accuracy they do their good part, in view is how they covered a few penalties for France, and that means that they have a great level.

Chelsea are cornering Arsenal in the race for Ukrainian starlet Mykhailo Mudryk has joined Chelsea for a fee of 100 million on a 7-year contract.
Mykhailo Mudryk, a 22 year old player, is Shaktar Donestk's mentor and he is a star and has always been the best player at his club Shaktar, Mykhailo Mudryk has played 44 matches with 12 goals and 17 assists and has given 1 Ukrainian Cup trophy to Shaktar Donestk in 2018/ 2019.
in terms of the quality of the players who are positioned as midfielders, this is quite good, but for the price that is too expensive, I think Chelsea will have high hopes for his performance, this is a little burdensome.
he could possibly make his debut this weekend when Chelsea will face Liverpool.

I cannot deny that Mykhailo Mudryk is one of the best players who have a lot of quality, I am surprised that Chelsea now that they have great players and that they have enough line-ups that could scare any team cannot have good results, but now that they have Joao Félix and Mykhailo Mudryk it's time they could win, I can't deny that against Liverpool or any other team that touched them it will be a game that will entertain many, in particular I want Chelsea to win, I don't want it to drop any further, the points are here they are decisive and they need to finally achieve good results, this is gloq eu motivates anyone, Chelsea fans must be very anxious.

Reece James returns to full Chelsea training with Ben Chilwell and Mykhailo Mudryk

Quote
The defender has not played since lasting less than an hour of his comeback back against Bournemouth in December, which was his first game in 10 weeks after a knee injury.

It is very welcome news for Blues boss Graham Potter, who last week revealed James “was out on the grass, not training with the team but on his own”. On Wednesday, James further stepped up his rehabilitation.

A transfer from Depay to Atletico Madrid seems imminent. Those teams have already sold many players to each other, with Atletico the big winner if you look at how much money they have made with all those transfers. But they don't seem to have had many reinforcements? Plus they have now lost Felix to Chelsea, look elsewhere to get a midfielder of that caliber today. There are not many who want to move to Atletico halfway through the season. Maybe there are some players in Serie A. From the EPL I don't expect players to go to Spain, you hardly see any English players playing in the Spanish league.

They want an exchange of players and that would be between Yannick Carascco and Memphis Depay of Barcelona, Depay wants the move immediately as personal terms won't be a big deal to finally agree on. Carascco also seem confident with the switch to Barcelona also.
 
Barcelona can not hold him for just too long,Felix has nothing to do with this. For Barcelona player's like Ferran Torres, Raphina aren't playing just the way fans expected but no plans to sell off.

The rumors about Yann Sommer moving to Bayern Munich aren't rumors anymore as the journalist Manuel Bonke has captured and posted the arrival of Sommer to perform the medical check in order to sign the contract, according to which the player will play for Bayern until June 2025 for €8m in addition to €1.5€ in add-ons.

Agree, Sommer's transfer is confirmed by the club!

Pretty interesting development in the past 24 hours tbh - Alexander Nübel announcing that he's staying in Monaco and Sommer signs his news contract at Bayern. Concerning the €1.5m addon the German newspaper Bild added following information:

The €1.5m add-ons to Yann Sommer's transfer fee are distributed as follows: €1m for the Bundesliga title win, €250k for the DFB Pokal title and €250k for the Champions League title [@BILD]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1615825803920510976

As it looks, Sommer's medical check should take place tomorrow morning. Provided there are no problems here, Sommer should probably already be in the starting line-up against RB Leipzig on Friday. Wow, I wouldn't have thought that at the beginning of the week.

Overall I guess it's a smart move for both sides: FC Bayern gets a solid goalkeeper who has already played in the Champions League and will certainly give everything this season, and Yann Sommer gets the chance to win multiple titles with an absolute top club. Friday's game against RB Leipzig promises to be an interesting one, can't wait to see Sommer in action.
