I wonder what might be the reason clubs were not after Christiano Ronaldo after he declares his intention of playing champions League football, even the ones rumoured to be interested there president will come out and clear the air,that they were never interested, first it was Bayern Munich that showed interest then their sporting director said is not true, then Chelsea, later we hear atletico Madrid were interested that's Diego Simeone wants him then the fans protest against the deal before their president speak publicly against the deal,the last one was Napoli trading him with Victor Osihmen.

Nobody want him with that contract and age, justifiably. If he were a player with lower contract or lower profile he may have attracted a lot of teams but nobody want to pay +30 million Euro per year for a 37 year-old player. Even ManU want to get rid of him but they couldn't. He's becoming a bigger problem for Red Devils. I guess every big league have their transfer window closed so he may not find a club that play in Champions League. After all of these, if he's okay with playing in Europa League or only local league there are plenty of other options. I don't think he changed his mind though, he doesn't want to go to Arabian league or something like that.

So, Ronaldo stays at United (although I was almost 100% he would leave) at least until the winter. But given that United doesn't play in the Champions League and Ronaldo won't play for any of the teams in the Champions League, it means he could move to a club in the winter and play in the Champions League, right? If nothing has changed in the rules, then everything should be that way.

Ronaldo's future is still not clear to me since his chances of leaving Manchester United were put on hold by the United manager Ten Hag, I don't think he will be allowed to leave again until his contract is over with Manchester United by next season and Ten Hag made it known when Napoli was close to signing Ronaldo in the transfer window. The chances of Ronaldo playing in the champions league are slim because up till now United coach still stand by his words that his number 7 being Ronaldo is not for sell so I guess we should forget about hoping to seeing him in the champions league this season because Manchester United is playing Europa League and Ronaldo have no choice but to go with the team.

I think Ronaldo has finally accepted his fate, that he won't be playing in Champions league this season and he will only have to play in the Europa league. I think Ten Hag still has faith in Ronaldo and his capabilities and believes Ronaldo will help improve and strengthen the squad this season. Ronaldo is finally accepting the fact that he is a Manchester United player and has an obligation to play for the club.

i can only think of one word when i think about Cristiano Ronaldo right now, that word is “stuck”
Cristiano Ronaldo is getting unable to move after going to Manchester United, and whatever he does in this team, he does not get the credit for it at all, just like he basically carried Manchester United last season

but people are still saying that it was his fault that Manchester United didn’t do well, it will actually be interesting to see how Manchester United performs in the Europa League
as far as i see, Manchester United has two things to do right now, play very well in the Europa League and try to win it, and finish at least in the top four in the English Premier league

Aubameyang may strengthen Chelsea's forwards, but Chelsea's defense is also weak. In 5 matches they scored only 6 goals and conceded 8 goals. Hence, Chelsea management should take appropriate steps quickly to strengthen the defense as well. Otherwise, Chelsea should change their match strategy.
Chelsea must realize their weakness at defense line, that's why they sign Wesley Fofana. I assume Chelsea defense will be strong again with some new players. Their strategy will be more effective with new experienced and skilled players. Just wait for an improvement on Chelsea perfromance in the next few matches. Be calm!!
After Manchester United managed to get out of a bad record, now Chelsea are experiencing a decline in performance, defeats to Leeds United (3-0) and Southampton (2-1) indicate that Chelsea's back line is very fragile. Tuchel must immediately find a solution to prevent more balls from getting into their net. The arrival of Wesley Fofana could mean a change at Chelsea's back line, but several other players are also needed. Chelsea must immediately complete their squad to be even more solid, they must move quickly before falling deeper.

Not only the back line but also the front line is so bad. 6 goals in 5 matches for a club like Chelsea with some great names in the front line is not acceptable. Now they must be regretting their activity in the transfer market. A hard homework for Tuchel, he should find a way to fix the problem as fast as possible.

Well the transfer market is now closed and not to forget that he is a coach who won big time with Chelsea. I can imagine that if things don't get turned around quickly he is going to face some rough times.

The management and the fans have quite high expectations. The current constellation in the table also shows that you won't be third or fourth easy peasy. This season is going to be hard as there is now Arsenal as well. Chelsea did invest more than 200 million into new players (net spending).

I heard in a forum of Juventini friends that Juventus still haven't given up on taking Morata. There are rumors that Juventus are still courting the Spanish player.
Clearly it is very difficult to tear him from his team: Ancellotti will never let him go away.

Yep, Aubameyang became one of the Barcelona players who can perform well last season. Sadly, Barcelona signed Lewandowski and forget his contribution last season, then Aubameyang lost his position as the main CF in Barcelona lineup. It is another sad story in Aubameyang career, but I am sure he doesn't lose his spirit to play at his best form in a new club (Cheslea). There is no problem with Aubameyang skills, he is still a sharp or productive striker. So, he should have no obstacles to perform well with Chelsea team.
I don't think Barcelona has forgotten his contribution, but something has to change and the club has to take steps forward to continuously improve the quality of its team. The positive thing about Auba is that Barcelona managed to restore its performance last season so that teams like Chelsea are still eyeing him. While he is happy with his new club, Auba still wants to compete with other strikers at Barcelona.

Chelsea must realize their weakness at defense line, that's why they sign Wesley Fofana. I assume Chelsea defense will be strong again with some new players. Their strategy will be more effective with new experienced and skilled players. Just wait for an improvement on Chelsea perfromance in the next few matches. Be calm!!
Their top 3 defenders left this season, it was Rudiger, Alonso and Christensen. So their defensive power would obviously be weak without the addition of new players. So it's natural that the team's performance is currently down where Chelsea are only able to win 2 times from their last 5 matches.

I think the Chelsea coach also knows that so Thomas Tuchel dared to make the move by bringing Aubameyang to Chelsea to be coached differently so that he could prove his true quality to Aubameyang and that is a step that is not wrong because Chelsea are currently in dire need of a player like Aubameyang to add team performance in the Premier League. I believe Aubameyang is still able to adapt quickly in the Premier League this season.
There is one thing about Aubameyang, his form from Dortmund couldn't last. He is not that world class striker that everyone thought of him. But yet he is a good striker that is able to put the ball into the net when other members of his team perform their duty excellently. Aubameyang has nothing to adapt in the Chelsea team, all he needs is to convert sterling chanced and make an average of 2goals in every 5 matches. With that he will enjoy the blues.
I am not agreed with you on this statement about Aubameyang because he is still world-class player who can do good in any condition which we watch him in last season when he has done good job for Barcelona it's just because of indiscipline behavior Arteta was not happy with him and not giving him chance otherwise he was still leading striker at Arsenal and done good job for Barcelona but now with the new quality recruitment they change their policy and looking for good profit from his sale.

Most chances he is going to be the best option for Chelsea in coming matches, and we will watch his best as we watch in Arsenal which will bring good improvement in Chelsea attack even their defence is already had good potential for staying at top.

Aubameyang helped Barcelona last season can finish on second position standing but arriving Lewandowski make him difficult to get regular position what ever as central forward or Xavi Hernandez can't give space for him as winger position. Many alternative with other winger like Ousmane Dembélé and Ansu Fati have consistent performance in this season can't give more minutes playing for Aubameyang.

No doubt with Aubameyang skill, he still talented forward and he has adapt well with Primer League after success before on Arsenal. Nowadays Aubameyang can open new challenge with Chelsea and how to make fans expected with his contribution for scoring goals on every games because Chelsea have losing two attacking player like Timo Warner and Lukaku.

I’m very much disappointed at Edu and Arteta for missing out on a defensive midfielder to fill Thomas Partey and Elneny role. It seems they didn’t learn from last season. Arsenal arguably lost Top 4 because they refused to bring in the cover they needed. Now they have started perfectly this summer and this season, and it feels like another missed opportunity from the club. There are tonnes of games coming both in Europe and domestic league and cup, are they generally expected the players not to get injuries, with their record, fact is the squad has been left short again, and they haven't learnt from last season.
I also feel that Arsenal movement is too slow in recruiting new players, especially Douglas Luiz, the need for midfielders has long been expressed by Arteta especially after Partey was injured but instead Arsenal aktive to get players when the transfer market was almost closed, I think if Arsenal can move earlier of course the transfer process for Douglas Luiz will be realized now, because we have more time to reach the agreement, but anyway we hope Arsenal will be fine with the current squad to face a busy schedule.
It's not all about Arsenal because I was reading on a site they were trying their best for last few days, but Aston Villa was not happy with this transfer, and they were using few tactics to keep Douglas Luiz at their club even player was also very happy to join Arsenal as this is his childhood dream but nothing happen at the end but most chances now we will have some positive news in next transfer window because they can't hold him for long time with their these tactics if he is ready to join Arsenal then surely they will do some replacement for their future and have good amount for this player in the future.

Even Arsenal is currently in good shape, and they can handle pressure with now their first biggest test is coming on Sunday against Manchester United which is currently doing amazing job after their worst start of this season.

Chelsea’s DM position has some history of black players excelling at it. The likes of Makelele, Essien, Mikel Obi and Kante. Zakaria will follow their footsteps. I can see him being very much like Essien, think he’ll do well and keep Jorginho on the bench, especially once Kante and Kovacic are fully fit.
I wonder about the amount. For 3 million euros... he is worth almost 10x. But there is a option for 28 million euros. Then the deal is good for juventus after all. That would be 3x as much as they spent for him. Zakaria will learn from Kante and Jorginho. They speak Italian and the African mentality then comes from Kante. We will  seen if he can take the position of the two top stars in the next 12 months.

Aubameyang played very well with Barcelona last season. He did not perform in any match for a long time. Even then he was able to play well enough with Barcelona. And I guess he will be able to perform well with Chesley as well.

It's understandable why Barca released him due to the presence of Lewandowski. Having returned to the Premier League, Aubameyang is very happy. Cheslea is expected to be a good club for him, so he can deliver goals. Aubameyang's arrival may boost Chelsea's defense's confidence since it has been underperforming and deforming.

Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford he has said that Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans with Manchester United to face competition in the Premier League season 2022/23.

Now the summer transfer window has closed and Ronaldo has failed to make a move, but he is still doing well with United even though he has only started once. When Ronaldo played against Leicester, Erik ten Hag still believed in his abilities and said Cristiano Ronaldo would soon be included in the starting line-up calculation, as he has been used more as a substitute this season.
It would be better if Cristiano Ronaldo was included in the calculation of the starting line-up at Manchester United because with the presence of several new players in the current Manchester United squad I think Cristiano Ronaldo will be a little bit helped to give his best performance in every match because if there is a best passer for Cristiano Ronaldo, I'm sure he's still capable of turning that pass into a goal. That's why Erik ten Hag said that Cristiano Ronaldo was part of his plans this season.

Otherwise, Chelsea should change their match strategy.
Chelsea got no problem with their defense line, where Chelsea has a problem is in the midfield and the attacking line, Reason being that , 1.both covacic and Joginho are getting weak they're no longer living up to expectation, hence the presure will be on the defense line and it will look as if they are the problem but they are not, Joginho and Covacic are no longer creating those chances for the wingers and attackers/strikers to score as like before.

2.while for the front line Chelsea was not having any good striker, who is always there to deliver (Timor wenner is a wasted investment), so it was majorly the wingers and sometimes defenders who were scoring the goals. Maybe with Aubameyang coming to play for Chelsea could change things for them.

With Aubameyang I am quite certain that they are going to improve. Chelsea is not a weak team, the players in the team are also not bad. They have proved themselves as individual players in the past. But for some reason, they are not performing up to the expectations in Chelsea.

With the team that Chelsea as I expected them to perform better in the last season. But they had problems in both scoring and defending goals. And they are not playing fluent football this season also. I think having Aubameyang on the team is going to give them the confidence and stability that they need. It’s not like they are suddenly going to score 3 goals per game. But at least they will probably be able to have a positive goal difference.

It will also be very good for Chelsea because Denis Zakaria's position is as a central midfielder who in experience is very good and can help a little bit in Chelsea's midfield defense and is also expected to manage the ball forward very well.
Chelsea’s DM position has some history of black players excelling at it. The likes of Makelele, Essien, Mikel Obi and Kante. Zakaria will follow their footsteps. I can see him being very much like Essien, think he’ll do well and keep Jorginho on the bench, especially once Kante and Kovacic are fully fit.
A defensive midfielder is a position that requires strength and tireless efforts invariably must have the ability to muscle out and intercept opponents passes, I think black players tends to perform better in that role, Makelele, Essien, Mikel Obi etc did the job perfectly infact Mikel Obi was an attacking midfielder but was converted to DM by Mourinho, Chelsea is continuing with that trend invariably prompted signing of Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria on loan as a backup for the club, meanwhile the return of  Abumeyang to Chelsea will add bite to their attack with Raheem Sterling pace and quick movement as an advantage.
