It’s official that Cody Gakpo has joined Liverpool. Honestly I didn’t see this coming. We all expected Manchester United to get him as they were the one certain about Gakpo's deal. But talks between Liverpool and PSV were at an advanced stage on Monday night as Liverpool moved to head off competition from Manchester United. Manchester United had instigated talks but were still to finalise a financial offer and Liverpool have taken advantage. I don’t know if Ten Hag really wanted him because he would have gotten the boy before Liverpool. It’s a good player and a good addition to the Liverpool team.
I think Manchester have missed out yet on another star player just as they missed out on Carmavinger before Real Madrid snapped up the deal and got him to sign. Manchester United have repeated same slack again this time and Liverpool have got the jackpot. Gakpo is a very good player and will add more strength to Liverpool's attack.
Manchester United are working on few targeted players and most chances they will get them in coming transfer window even they are missing few which is not good because missing this Cody Gakpo is surely big lost for them as they needed a good striker and Cody Gakpo is having quality for giving his best to Manchester United at this level with this deal look like Manchester United having not good agents for the having deals with quality players because recently they missed few quality players just because of their lazy approach.

But as right now, we have too many reports and rumours about few players hopefully they will be able to bring few quality players at Old Trafford because now their performance is increased and things are looking positive which is good indication for many players those were not happy with the situation at this club having not good results in all leagues but suddenly things going on better way.

I really like Darwin Nunez though because he is fast,  good in the air, I was shocked when I read the news Darwin Nunez completed his move to Liverpool because Arsenal had first interest in the player but were sloppy with the deal and Liverpool got him. I hope Gakpo is not here to replace Darwin Nunez rather be a backup. Nunez might not be meeting your expectations but I don't doubt his abilities and I know he will deliver for Liverpool.
The presence of Gakpo at Liverpool will be good for player rotation, Liverpool still have 3 competitions where they have to play quite a lot of matches so having a backup striker who is just as good will be able to get them good results in every game especially they really need to win in all League matches if want to be in the top 4

If true, Gakpo is a really exciting signing for Liverpool - especially for such an attractive price.

He showed for Netherlands that he can lead a team offensively, and also has really good stats (not just goals and assists, but overall) in the league this season.
It is a weak league, but he's the type of player Liverpool needs - not a direct type of forward but a creative one.

With him, Liverpool's offensive line looks really complete.
The presence of Cody Gakpo is like water in the desert for Liverpool. This is because Liverpool lack topnotch forward players after Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino suffered long injuries. Darwin Nunez, who was brought in in the summer of 2022 to replace Sadio Mane, played far below expectations. I think Gakpo is really needed at Liverpool to catch up in the English league as well as prepare for the Champions League match
He’s a very good addition to this Liverpool side. Gakpo has all the attributes required of a modern forward. It hints at a player with a cool mind, and an ability to keep emotions under control, make good decisions and execute under pressure. I know Klopp to maximize his abilities and mould him into a kind of player suitable for his system. I can’t lie, Manchester United will surely regret not signing him.

It is quite sure that Joao Felix is going to leave the quarantine because he is being pursued by a lot of big teams. So, I assume he’s not staying. But if he’s going to Chelsea is a big ask. Because currently Arsenal is at the top of the table and they need a striker pretty badly.

Logically, Felix should choose a club that benefits them. however, negotiations are still ongoing.
I also support Felix going to Arsenal. but if there is a possibility of him choosing Chelsea, of course, everything has been considered properly. especially the news that Chelsea is in the plans as a loan transfer to borrow Felix from Atletico.

De Jong situation is a lot more about money and not about just Barcelona, because if United offered a lot of money that would mean that Barcelona would have a lot of money room to wiggle on their financial burden as well. This is why I am pretty sure that if United offered 100+ million to De Jong, they could get him without a doubt.

But, as we all know there is really nothing about the current situation that could be considered 100+ million worthy, why would they pay him that much anyway? So all in all, it is at an impasse because United doesn't want to overpay again, and of course Barcelona wouldn't sell unless it is too good to turn down type of offer since they are using him happily.
Barcelona will be more than happy to get ride of De Jong and his salary, especially the money they promised to give him back during covid-19 cut and they are trying to intimidate him to not ask for them.
ManU could buy 2 players or even more with such number, +€100m? why? They are buying Mbappe? A game changer guy? He is a good player but this number is overpriced.
De jong also will get a sanction from barcelona caused by de jong refuses to cut his salary. De jong must move from barcelona rather than stay with very difficult situation like that. I meant let's take a look at the fact that if de jong being hated by barcelona itself. Yeah some news and press said that de jong wanna stay in barcelona and barcelona was refusing to sell de jong but the situation that happened is not the same like what already published before. It seems like de jong was facing a very difficult situation.
If he doesn't wanna see his salary to be cut and then de jong must accept the fact that if he must move to the another club to increase his salary.

PSG situation is getting more difficult after Mbappe put forward three demands so that he stays with PSG. Real Madrid interest in him has made Mbappe selfish attitude uncontrollable, he put forward three special conditions to the club so that he continues to stay with PSG.

Mbappe first demands were very heavy on PSG, he asked the Club to sell Neymar. The relationship between the two players is not harmonious, Mbappe demands that Neymar be immediately sold to another club, if Neymar does not leave, Mbappe will leave.
Mbappe second demand is that PSG bring in Zidane as a replacement for Galtier, Zidan's experience while training Real Madrid is considered to be able to improve PSG quality in local and European competitions. Mbappe also asked PSG to sign Harry Kane, he felt Kane could be the ideal partner for him.

Even though Nunez didn't really contribute much to Liverpool, let's say the purchase price so far hasn't really matched. But there's nothing wrong with giving it a chance in the middle of the season and being able to make a difference. Maybe at least Gakpo and Moh Salah can provide efficient shooting space.

To be honest, I doubt Nunez, because as we can see, his performance in the World Cup has not been outstanding either.

Manchester United lost 2x the opportunity to hook a Dutch player, namely De Jong and now Gakpo who prefers Liverpool besides he was convinced by Van Dijk. I don't know what steps the Manchester United manager will take in the future. Based on Erik Ten Hag statement, they will continue to focus on finding a striker to complete the next season's transfer and qualify for the Premier League ticket.
I really like Darwin Nunez though because he is fast,  good in the air, I was shocked when I read the news Darwin Nunez completed his move to Liverpool because Arsenal had first interest in the player but were sloppy with the deal and Liverpool got him. I hope Gakpo is not here to replace Darwin Nunez rather be a backup. Nunez might not be meeting your expectations but I don't doubt his abilities and I know he will deliver for Liverpool.

Al Nassr has became an the club with the most talk currently this because they were linked to Ronaldo and the negotiation was almost done to get him but apparently they hasn't stopped to bought more players from european clubs because they have one more slot to get star player and recently they attempts to hijack Chelsea player N'golo kante and they prepare huge salary for Kante if willing moved to this club and recently indeed Kante was linked to Barcelona but the offers maybe will be so tempting because Al Nassr offering money and opposite to them Barcelona probably won't offering high salary for him but with Barcelona he can playing at champion league so let see which options will he choose
You can't help but read about Ronaldo day in and day out because I noticed when it come to matters concerning Ronaldo the entire media want to publish it and unknowingly they have made Al Nassr famous. Getting Ronaldo to sign for them will really help the club gain more exposure and attraction and even make so much money from jersey sales and other commercials. We will know before the window closes the final destination of Ronaldo.

*STOP NOWHERE*
It seems like Chelsea are still continuing to make their transfer attempts for the attacking line.
This time the rumours are telling that they are trying to sign Atletico Madrid's youngster Joao Felix. He has been a target for some big teams these days already of course. But I'm hearing about Chelsea's interest for the first time and I must admit that I'm quite surprised. Because they have already made two signings like Fofana and Nkunku to the place as far as I know. It looks like they want to increase the alternatives and do everything they can to boost their scoring productivity. Felix hasn't been wanted by Simeone as it seems so Chelsea wouldn't have much trouble in agreeing with the team first.
However, Chelsea must compete with 2 other big clubs who are also from the Premier League, namely Arsenal and Manchester United. These two clubs also want to sign this player and compete over who will be the winner of his signature. Chelsea are currently improving a lot, one of which is that they are targeting many players in this transfer market. But they shouldn't just focus on their attack line, because their midfield and defense also still have a lot to improve.
Of the 3 clubs interested in Joao Felix I tend to look at maybe Arsenal or not Manchester United.
Oh yes, it was also reported that Felix was the target of Paris Saint Germain, but they chose to discourage him and leave the competition.

It is quite sure that Joao Felix is going to leave the quarantine because he is being pursued by a lot of big teams. So, I assume he’s not staying. But if he’s going to Chelsea is a big ask. Because currently Arsenal is at the top of the table and they need a striker pretty badly.

So, better for him if he can go to Arsenal because he has the chance of winning the English Premier League title with Arsenal. I am not saying he’ll be enough for Arsenal. Because Arsenal needs a striker and you know, he’s a midfielder. But I think he’ll give good attacking assistance to Arsenal. The Arsenal move will be best for him.

Darwin Nunez hasn't really been as bad as people think, i know he hasn't scored as many goals as people expected him to when he arrived at Liverpool, part of the problem/pressure on him is that City signed Erling Haaland around the same time Liverpool signed Nunez, and whilst Haaland is firing on all cylinders, Nunez isn't doing quite the same thing and people are making all sorts of comparison all over social media.
.

I didn't know why people have been busy flying the negative news of Nunez. They have refused to measure the young guy in his own abilities. It is either they are measuring him with Haaland or they are measuring him with Mane.
Being signed after Mane was sold doesn't mean he is standing in place of Mane and must therefore play like Mane.
It is very difficult to see a player that can play like Mane because the guy is very dedicated and selfless.
It's true, it's just that right now Nunez doesn't have the qualities to match. Although mostly negative but that's the fact. I wouldn't be surprised, and believe Nunez just needs time to really hone his skills. It needs to be in the hands of the right coach. I mean a coach who really understands what Nunez needs and knows what kind of potential is in Nunez. Nunez has had a difficult time this season due to the value of his sales not meeting expectations. That's all, maybe in the future there will definitely be more consideration and can have a club that suits him.

Everton are doing their best to convince and finish a contract extension with Jordan Pickford these days. He is expected to extend his contract by 5 years. It is said that he was already agreeing to this deal before the World Cup. Therefore Everton are hoping him not to change his mind while there are some other big teams monitoring him currently.

These teams are Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham. I don't know if Tottenham need a goalkeeper now. However especially Manchester United might need one if they don't sign a new deal with De Gea. Pickford would be a great replacement.

Man united need striker not winger
MU has some strong winger but not for striker. It seems like that MU has been linked to the new name again called betinho. This guy was portuguese striker. Rumour has come from EPL itself. Joao felix itself was a striker too. I think that you shall try to get an information regarding him. MU has been struggling to get a new striker caused by cody gakpo hijacked by liverpool. MU used gakpo as a potential future striker but that's very sad that liverpool may used him as a replacement for darwin nunez.
Nunez itself already known as a striker with specialized to waste the golden chance. gakpo was a solution for him.

Seeing the current condition Manchester City is actually filled with strong players on almost all fronts and even during the world cup some time ago they actually sent the most players who participated for their country as many as 16 players how could this not be called a great player.
Actually in terms of assessment maybe this depends on everyone's perspective but to say Manchester City doesn't have great players in it is a little too much for me.

I agree that Manchester City does have very good players in the current squad and even so they are not stopping hiring.

One of the highlights of England in the World Cup, for example, was midfielder Jude Bellingham, so much so that he is one of the most coveted players in the current transfer market.
And I believe that Manchester City has a great chance of signing the current Borussia Dortmund player right now. The renewal of the contract with coach Pep Guardiola and the desire to meet again with striker Erling Haaland, who was once his partner in Germany, are very good reasons for Bellingham to sign with Manchester City.

But, that won't come cheap, from what I've seen here, this deal could reach the £83 million mark, which would make this the second most expensive signing of the team, behind only Jack Grealish.

Before you people talk about Manchester city, don't you know that Manchester city, you have to know that Manchester city doesn't have a  good players right now, even their golden player who is Ronald has old and it can not perform well again, i think what they have to do, is that they are supposed to at least watch from this world cup and buy more performing players, Haaland is a good players but some people doesn't like the methods of it's ball.
Manchester City doesn't have good players? what nonsense are you talking now?
Some people don't like Haaland's game? Where is this person from? I think in this case you talk too much unreasonable. Or maybe the petition a while ago about Haaland being too strong at Manchester City so that you take this petition to get Haaland out of the EPL seriously? this is really ridiculous lol
Yeah i saw that too he was saying a non sense thing about manchester city. It seems like he didn't even aware about city's player lol. City has kevin de bruyne and so many good players in the club that were making it sitting at the second position right now. It seems like that he didn't even aware if those great players like haaland who has been making city was placed at the second place. It must be ashame for him to call city didn't have good players at this moment.  Cheesy

Having said that, i think Nunez would eventually be a hit for Liverpool, and ironically the signing of Gakpo could help his career because sometimes competition helps a player improve, i think the competition in Liverpool's attack would help all of them to improve in order to play, and it would be a win-win for the players individually and the club too.

Man United is slowly improving its squad. Ten Hag improved MU's midfield and back, and the results have already been seen. but on the front lines, as you said, MU lacks players with the potential consistently to score goals. therefore it is rumored that Man United is being very aggressive in hunting for strikers in the winter transfer market.
Man United is hunting for a player who plays as a midfielder and winger/striker. De Jong is still Man United main target to strengthen the midfield, but Ten Hag's desire to continue working with his former subordinates at Ajax Amsterdam has again reached an impasse. De Jong still wants to play at Barcelona and Xavi will soon put him in the position Bosquets often occupies. Meanwhile, in the Winger/Striker position, there is already the name Cody Gakpo, but no agreement has yet been made.

Mikel Arteta is eventually remoulding the team to a perfect shape. Having gotten a wonderful team already, He is still on a move toward securing a dependable second option. currently Tielemans has agreed on a transfer terms with arsenal and may join them on a free transfer at the end of the season, and Myhayo mudryk is Arteta's next chase. If Arteta succeeds in bringing in these two individuals, I think Arsenal may be the next EPL champions.

I don't know who thr Fvck is Myhayo mudryk but man, the name Tielemans says it all for Arsenal if they get him and Thomas Partey gets Injured by chance, Granit Xhaka can be brought deep to play the defensive midfielders duties while Tielemans plays ahead of him.
He'll make a good addition for Arsenal as he'll support em chase the Premier League tittle, I hope the news of him signing despite being a Free player is no excuse and speculations ? I really want to see Arsenal winning the Premier League this season.

I feel bad though hearing that both PSV and Liverpool reach a complete agreement for Cody Gakpo the Netharland, this feels like betrayal after that read he still hasn't changed his mind about Manchester United. I won't lament too much bout it no more, it's good luck and congratulations nto him in the future ahead. ( Welcome to the Premier League )
