A new year's gift for Liverpudians.

After performing stunningly with the Dutch National Team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, many clubs want to get Cody Gakpo's signature. Finally Gakpo's enigma was answered. Cody Gakpo is officially in Liverpool uniform for a fee estimated at €42.00m and signed a contract until 2028.

The presence of Gakpo in the Liverpool squad makes Jurgen Klopp now have many options in formulating strategies and Gakpo is expected to be a suitable partner for Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

So finally Liverpool took the right steps to improve their performance after dropping out of the title race I mean in the middle of the season, indeed a new player is the solution
$42 million is not a high price for a young player like Cody Gakpo he still has potential to improve with Liverpool. Now Liverpool has 3 strikers with a total value of $ 200 million

It's very good to see that liverpool was taking gakpo. As far as i know that if liverpool was also targeting another player too. I thought that if liverpool gonna try to buy more players in january. Liverpool has three strikers overall but gakpo can also plays in the different position. that's why gakpo has been targeting by so many teams. MU has been moving to the new striker as liverpool has been hijacking him. I do know how MU feel about that. Mu has been giving so many effort to get him.

Does Manchester United need a new striker? Yes... but I don't see that as a big problem.

That, in my opinion, is not a major issue. Even if they don't have a replacement for him yet, they can still do better, as evidenced by their two recent games following the World Cup break. Some people believe Ronaldo was a barrier to them performing well as a team because they have too much respect for him to correct him on the field of play. They've shown that they can play without him; now we'll see if they can keep it up for the rest of the season.

At the moment the team is not in bad shape, they managed to score in their last match and that was something important. Of course, the increase in the number of players is an important need for the team, if the players who are playing now are injured or anything else, the team may have difficulty scoring goals. But they can somehow manage until the end of the season.
I don't think they have a goal to become a champion anyway. They can finish 3rd or 4th this year

Even though they are now better at scoring goals, I think they need a striker who has good instincts. Maybe now it doesn't look like that much of a problem because they can still score goals without difficulty, but things like this are exactly what any team should anticipate, and Manchester United is no exception. Don't let them regret that they couldn't prepare for something they have realized since they lacked players in such an important position. Don't take this lightly, we can see Real Madrid when Benzema can't strengthen it.

For us, what Liverpool currently need is a player who plays in a defensive midfielder who can reduce the opponent's attack considering Henderson is 31 years old and Keita who has not found his best form of play including being prone to injury.

You’re exactly right, we desperately need to upgrade our midfield. Thiago is brilliant but always injured. Henderson is past his peak & it looks like Fabinho might be too. Keita is a pointless player, his fitness record is a joke. I can’t wait for him to leave on a free transfer in the summer. Milner is old, Curtis Jones is crap & I’m not convinced Elliot or Carvalho are good enough.

To conclude, it could easily be said we need 3 starting XI quality midfielders. We have the best GK in the league, top class fullbacks & good centre backs. Our attack is world class, it’s only midfield that lets us down.

I see links to Calceido from Brighton. Signing him in January & Bellingham in the summer would be a big help & set us up for the next few seasons.

It looks like Real Madrid is also interested in signing Jude Bellingham along with Liverpool and Manchester City. In Real Madrid they see him as a replacement for Luka Modric who is still playing great and is irreplaceable in Madrid, but he is getting old and it's a question how long can he still play at this high level. As Marca states, Bellingham would be a great replacement for Modric because he is playing exceptional football even though he is 20 years old. Marca also states that Bellingham is closer to sign with Real Madrid than with a club from England.

Source: https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2022/12/27/63ab173e268e3e066a8b4591.html

Referring to sources reported by Transfermarkt, there are four big clubs who are eyeing this one player. yes, Jude Bellingham has become a target for several big clubs, such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool. and according to several other news sources, that Real Madrid will prioritize a deal for Jude Billingham in 2023, it is expected that the midfielder will choose Los Blancos over Liverpool.

and it looks like Bellingham is the most dieal option for the regeneration of the Real Madrid midfielder for a potential replacement for Luca Modric who is already 37 years old.

On the other hand, Jude Bellingham is a serious target for Manchester City at the end of the season, Pep Guardiola is set to make a £100 million bid to sign the English international, and as quoted by Transfermarkt.
however, so far there has been no official statement either from the club that wants it or from the Borrusia Dortmund Management itself. so, let's just wait for the club that will get the services of this Dortmund midfielder later.

Of course Man Utd duo of Martial and Rashford had a good game and good understanding in their last match against Nottingham Forest in the absence of Ronaldo however how consistently well will the duo play in their subsequent matches? considering the
fact that they played a weak team or less formidable opponent in midweek, we are all aware of Martial as an injury-prone player just like Thomas Partey of Arsenal, IMHO I think Erik Ten Hag should play either of the two players as their main striker while one of them is benched, even with that formation the club needed a backup striker while any of Sancho, Anthony, Ganacho and Elanga plays at the wings.

There's no way that kid can afford that much money. It would be a waste of his talent to sit on the bench with all their other big signings.
Enzo Fernandez, it is reported, is wanted by Chelsea, but Benfica will not sell for less than 105 million euros. His World Cup season with Argentina was stellar, so this is not surprising. Despite having money, Chelsea invests in players that aren't helping them.

If you look at the statistics for Enzo Fernandez's match, it's not bad. With Benfica he managed to provide 3 assists and 1 goal from 13 matches, this is a small number, but for a young player, I think there are many opportunities for him to grow with Chelsea. But, this does need to get trust from Chelsea coach to make him the starting XI. If he only on the bench like you say, no matter how good a player is, he will not be able to perform optimally.

Before gaining the trust to play with regular time, he must first compete with other players who are also at Chelsea, if Chelsea really dare to spend that much money. But it would be a shame if Chelsea bought players at very high prices but were only placed on the bench, that would be tantamount to wasting their money in vain. They have to reconsider various aspects when deciding something.

Pep Guardiola has stated that he has dismissed all player news on the table related to Man City in this season's transfer market. It seems that the steps taken by Manchester City are correct with the depth of the squad they have, Man City is still able to navigate regular competition or the Champions League this season. For Enzo Fernandez at such an expensive price it seems that it will make him sell a bit slow because negotiations from several clubs are ongoing and there have been no recent updates until now.

The price tag that already given by benfica for enzo didn't even make sense for me. City was a rich club but wasting hundred million thousands for him will not even worthy caused by city has a very good squad right now. It was also able to win against liverpool from the last match. the squad that owned by pep was good enough to win EPL but the problem must be whether arsenal will be losing some points or not. I meant newcastle was slowly climbing up and it was in the same level as manchester city now.
Newcastle is doing very good in EPL this season. Thanks for the new owner of newcastle.

Actually, Man City could be interested in Enzo Fernandez if the price was in his market value range, unfortunately it was already more than one hundred million euros and of course Man City did not want to waste that much money when there were already several players in the same role as Enzo in his team. The EPL competition this season is so intense, it is increasingly visible that several teams are starting to dominate the top four and it is true that Newcastle has now risen from the past, they are ready to enliven the race for the EPL championship this season.

Like father like son, Ronaldo left Manchester United (Man U) and his who was playing for the junior team also left the team. As for Ronaldo's left, there was always someone to replace him. Man u was not a bad team, even without him they can play to their satisfaction. Let the coach select someone among the players to be the striker for the moment.

Man u will do well in this season. Without Ronaldo, Manchester United is still a strong team

Some news about Philippe Coutinho

I'm following the situation of Philippe Coutinho, and he asked Aston Villa to return to Brazil.
He wants to "revive his career" according to this source: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/philippe-coutinho-makes-aston-villa-25852065

Last match against Liverpool he only played for 10 minutes more or less, and it's clear that the situation is almost unbearable at Aston Villa.

In my opinion he will get back to Brazil to play again in a high level, he can compete in state Championship, national Championship and Libertadores, with great chances to be the champion and have more chances to get back to europe next season (2024).
Aston Villa can benefit too, they payed 20m for Coutinho, but today there's no team to pay this price, and after a good season in Brazil, Aston Villa can sell the player and recover at least a good amount of that money.

The price paid from Liverpool's coffers for Cody Gakpo including several other players is only a number if Liverpool are serious about achieving titles. If we count their expenses, they are not comparable to the costs incurred by other Premier League clubs in bringing in new players.

Gakpo's presence at Anfield in addition to being many alternatives for Klopp in setting strategies, is also expected to be able to increase the sharpness of Liverpool's front lines in scoring goals because so far the Reds have scored 31 goals against opponents in the Premier League from 15 matches.

For us, what Liverpool currently need is a player who plays in a defensive midfielder who can reduce the opponent's attack considering Henderson is 31 years old and Keita who has not found his best form of play including being prone to injury.

Chelsea are reported to have made an offer for Enzo Fernandez.

It was obvious that some big teams were going to go after him especially after his World Cup performance. Chelsea's offer is said to be like 115 million pounds which is an enormous amount really. I don't know if Chelsea are really ready to pay this much for him now. But it might be real because they have made their transfers for the attacking line already as it seems. It might be time for improving the midfield now. But signing Fernandez won't be easy for them because I expect some other big teams to join the race.

Which other big teams are willing to spend money in the market as Chelsea are doing recently. The only thing that'll hinder the signing of Fernandez is Fernandez himself. Maybe he'll have other clubs as dream club to play in and that's the only thing that'll make Chelsea not to get his signature. Fernandez was very impressive with the Argentina squad but some might say he was playing beside messi but nevertheless his brilliance was showcase at the world cup. Chelsea truely needs a midfielder with his capabilities and not the flops we have currently at the club.

A move from the Primeira Liga club Benfica to Chelsea (playing in the premier league) will bring about more publicity for Fernandez and that'll be a good move that he should consider. Chelsea also needs his service as we lack good midfielder in the club. We have been signing strikers without any results to show for it, midfielders will be a change that could turn the club fate all around.

It looks like Frenkie de Jong will be staying at Barcelona.

Because the source says that Barcelona are no longer interested in selling him. I was waiting for this to be honest. Because he started to be a regular member of the starting eleven again after Manchester United failed in their attempts to sign him last summer. The player himself wasn't even seeming eager to leave the team to join them either. I think he is happy now as well. Manchester United missed a really big opportunity. However Barcelona must have demanded 20 million euros more or something like that from them. It was a quite big difference to think over for Manchester United.

Now I respect De Jong even more because he stayed in Barcelona on his own terms. As I understand it, he did not agree to any reduction in wages and forgiveness of debts? This guy has balls! And by the way, now it turns out that he is the highest paid player in Barcelona, or am I mistaken? In any case, his salary is such that the bench does not threaten him.

I think to accept a salary reduction when you are under a contract should come willingly not to be forced and bullied into making such decision and Frankie De Jong as a professional understands this and fought for his right and so far I assume both clubs have an understanding and are ready to go on with the terms on the contract and no one can criticize De Jong for standing his ground.

Manchester United currently needs a figure who will replace Cristiano Ronaldo. But not only recruiting new players, but Erik Ten Hag will also promote him from the current squad. Yes, it has to be done, because sometimes the team itself has valuable players that may not have been seen before. Like for example Garnarcho who plays very promising for his future. Players who didn't get much game time for some reason, are now starting to be given game time and even making the difference for the team.

Finding a replacement Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn't be a problem for Manchester United at all, they still have Antony Martial and Marcus Rashford who can comfortably fill in the boots as a top striker for the team so in the absence of Ronaldo they can still do well, I mean they were doing well even when he sat on the bench and missed important games for Manchester United. Garnacho can play from the right, Rashford or Anthony on the left and Martial in the centre.

Next summer Chelsea will be lack of midfielder players this because some of the current midfielder will left Chelsea such as Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jorginho so Chelsea will be in crisis if they didn't immediately buying new players on that position and Potter confirmed will makes Fernandez as Chelsea main priority so they are willing to spend a lot of money to gets him and rumour is 130 millions euro budget will be used to buy Fernandez so lets see this rumour will came true or Fernandez will choose other clubs instead of Chelsea
Indeed some of clubs such as Liverpool or Real Madrid were interested to bought Fernandez from Benfica before but these teams aren't willing to pay according to his clause contract because i heard Benfica only want to sell him not less than 120 millions euro but recent news said Liverpool has confirmed to withdraw from race because their main priority is Bellingham so in my opinion the closest club who possibly will gets Fernandez is Chelsea

Does Manchester United need a new striker? Yes... but I don't see that as a big problem.

Maybe is not the problem for now, but after losing to get Gakpo, MU must think to find another attacker, Antony didn't show a performance yet after buying it for 80 M pounds. We know MU cash is very limited to buying new attackers on market, but with that money, Ten Hag still has a chance to buy young players just to make MU competitive in the club. Because when have limited attackers, this will be an inside problem like fatigue.

Manchester United are still hunting for a new striker to strengthen their attack line, Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Alvaro Morata to become Ronaldo successor after failing to get Cody Gakpo. Manchester United are still keen to jump into the January transfer market, Morata is their next target after Gakpo reached an agreement with Liverpool. Morata, who looked good and scored three goals while defending the Spanish national team at the world cup, made Manchester United interested in recruiting him. Manchester United will have to work hard to secure targets as Atletico Madrid will not let their star players go cheap.
