Juventus finally managed to officially get rid of Ramsey.

Worst purchase in recent history, but also unfortunate.

They had bought the very promising player during the winter transfer market, Aaron broke up shortly after and never recovered his form again.

Bad financial situation did not stop Barcelona move to look for star players in the transfer market, after getting Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, now Barcelona is just waiting for time and one step away to inaugurate JULES KOUNDE as its newest player, Chelsea are also eyeing kounde to strengthen the defense agains must be willing to lose and be overtaken by barcelona in terms of recruiting new players Grin Grin Grin.
Be strong in defence, get balance in midfield, have good strikers and so far Barcelona are working on this in their squad. Kessie and Busquest have the same role as defensive midfielders, but Kessie is also good for accompanying Busquest in midfield where Pedri can also help both. Raphinha took up the wing positions, Lewandowski as striker and Crhistensen in defence. This is a formation that would be great for Barcelona this season for the title race.

The depth of the Barcelona squad so far is quite good because Xavi will no longer have trouble deciding which player to choose. The better the players in the squad, the greater the chances of Barcelona winning the match.

Barcelona management strongly supports Xavi to restore the glory of Barcelona, So far Barcelona have recruited experienced and good quality
players. It should be with the current Barcelona squad Xavi is able to make Barcelona not only win the La Liga trophy, but Xavi can also bring
Barcelona won the Champions League trophy. Hopefully the new players that Barcelona have can adapt quickly. But I'm sure the new players
that Barcelona bought will immediately adapt to Barcelona's game, because all the players that Barcelona bought were mature players.
This means that the new player is experienced and understands how to adapt immediately.

The current Barcelona squad has very good depth, so Xavi doesn't have to worry about Barcelona's busy schedule. Xavi only needs to rotate
Barcelona players, because now almost every position has a suitable substitute. This means that Xavi can prevent players from getting injured
due to fatigue,  I am getting impatient waiting for Barcelona's appearance in La Liga and also the Champions League.
Yes that is true, the current Barcelona squad has quite a number of mature and very talented players with so much experience they will be bringing in with them to the squad. I must commend Xavi's efforts and choices in player selection this summer, a lot has changed, great talents, good team work and sufficient squad depth. We will see a totally different Barcelona team next season, a very strong team that will compete at all levels and competition.

Newcastle are going after a really good player like Draxler indeed. This is one of their best targets in their transfer list I think. Draxler didn't find many chances at PSG in the previous season. This can be really a big opportunity for Newcastle to sign him. His current market price is not that high as well (18 million euros). Newcastle don't have any problem with money of course but this would still be a very favorable deal for them. I would like to see this kind of good players coming more to Newcastle.

Draxler has been a good player before now, in psg I have enjoyed watching him before his time passed in the club. The price is fair and also looking at his age, not too young, not too old. His contract with psg might have been close to end. Newcastle should go for the player and get him. They have more chances now that psg left him out of their pre season tour. With the presence of his kind of player in Newcastle, other good players will like to go Newcastle.

Newcastle are just unable to attract players who are world stars now. They still need time to prove themselves to that kind of players about how much they are passionate to be successful. The only way that they can do this seems like that they need to bring players like Draxler who is better than average. Sven Botman, Matt Targett and Nick Pope are the only transfers so far. Therefore Draxler would be the best signing now directly. They still have a long time to sign more players so I hope them to stay active.
Despite having the finance to sign quality players, Newcastle will still find it hard to convince top class players to join them because every top class player wants to win trophies, they want to compete at European level and Newcastle cannot guarantee all that, they don't even compete in any European competition at the moment so it will take take to build the club to that level and when they can achieve that, then it will be easier to attract top players to the club.

The career of Balotelli really was a rollercoaster ride so far. Around 10 years ago he was literally on the top after he scored both goals for Italy in the semifinal of the Euro 2012 against Germany. Sadly it seems like that whole fame and attention that he got back then was maybe to much for him, because after that most of the time Balotelli was in the news for negative stuff that he did like extremely stupid fouls that gave him a red card again which made him miss big parts of the season and other stupid actions that are just not really understandable from outside.
I hope the transfer to Sion happens and that Balotelli can show his talent again for a few seasons.
I agree. 11 years ago, in a test match against Los Angeles Galaxy, he completed a goal kick so badly that he was substituted by coach Roberto Mancini. The fans were angry too. It looked like he was playing the test match as FIFA Streets on Playstation. It was one of the most disrespectful things during the match. He has taken many teams and now he comes back to the old strength where it is almost too late. In a match against Germany I would like to see them again. Manuel Neuer for sure too.

Chelsea still have work to do in the transfer market with just 9 days to go before the league resumes and up till now they are still lacking in some positions, I don't know if they can get something before the start of the league but alot needs to be done quickly because with state of the team it will be very difficult to get a point against the league's top teams.

I'm sure about the La Liga title but haven't been able to convince myself about the Champions League title. Xavi's new squad still has a lot to improve especially because they are not yet fully good enough to be expected to win the Champions League title. I do hope he wins a lot of titles but I think the fans have to be patient for that.

Aubameyang, Lewandowski, Busquets, Alba, Pique and a few others are experienced players and they will be very important for the team at this time. Barcelona are trying to bounce back after a poor previous season during Koeman's time in charge, but now the fans have hope about Barcelona. The busy schedule doesn't seem to be an obstacle because Barcelona have a big squad this season, I don't think about player fatigue because most clubs will definitely be able to handle it, including Barcelona.

Scandal Profi Balotelli is back. +10 years ago he had his great successes, he win the Champions League with Inter Mailand 2010. Agreements between Adana Demirspor and FC Sion are intense. The price for the transfer fee has already been discussed. Balotelli still has a contract until 2024 and he has scored 18 goals in 31 games, so he currently plays good soccer. With 31 years he can still play for 2-3 years. Maybe we will see him soon in Switzerland.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
It seems like another striker will be allowed to leave Chelsea this summer.

After Lukaku, Werner looks to be next in line for a move out of the club. Tuchel did not really like any of the two - but if Werner follows Lukaku they will be without any strikers at the club.

Juve is his most likely destination, and Chelsea will surely look for a striker if Werner leaves. Who knows - maybe Neymar or Ronaldo manages to find a new suitor after all.
Timo Werner in his performances was not satisfactory for Tuchel so he was included in the list of sales this summer, and indeed in other words there are already several clubs ready to get the German striker but only Juventus are getting closer to the rumors because of Juventus' options if If he doesn't get Alvaro Morata, then Timo Werner is his choice.

Indeed, I saw Timo Werner during his time at Chelsea lacking in terms of his appearance even though his contact with Chelsea was still long but that did not make Tuchel satisfied.
Neymar and Ronaldo still haven't emerged as new rumours but it's possible Chelsea are looking for an established striker.

I think this is a very turbulent time for Chelsea FC. The biggest challenge Chelsea is facing in getting players to join their side is the uncertainty of the club. Players are yet to understand how Todd Boehly wants to run the club, no player wants to come to a team that is unsettled. This is why Barcelona are crushing them in the transfer market

Manchester United want Inter Milan player Denzel Dumfries this because they looking for Aaron Wan-Bissaka replacement who possibly will leaving this summer and although last season he playing well but Dumfries into sell list from Inter this because they need fresh fund for next season but price tag for him is too high 60 millions Euro but Manchester United will try to negotiate with Inter to lower the price
I don't know if Manchester United are ready for next season's game or not,because looking at the recruitment this summer,apart from only Lizandro Martinez who seem like a major signing for them,i'm.not seeing any other player that seems so good that is new.
Although,with the presence of the new coach,it seems that Manchester United players are beginning to have mumentum that will make them do well next season,but they still need to add some major signings this season if they want to compete with other teams next season because the rate of competition in the league will be so fierce.

Timo Werner can exit Chelsea this summer only if Juventus are ready to pull the deal. I think the Old Lady's really need a backup winger and Timo Werner falls in the category of players Allegri want. Morever Chelsea have plan a loan deal which will involve RB Leipzig player Mukiele, but since PSG first them opening bid with the player, and it's also a done deal for Mukiele to Paris. There's still possible move that might go on for the German this summer, it's never too late for Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel to decide on what to do with Timo Werner.

Be strong in defence

But it looks like Barcelona will have to compete with Chelsea for Jules Kounde. But it looks like Jules Kounde is more interested in Barcelona. In addition, Chelsea also prepared other alternatives if they did not get Jules Kounde.   Villareal's Pau Torres, Inter Milan Slovakia centre-back Milan Skriniar, 27, and 20-year-old Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol, who is at RB Leipzig are Chelsea's preferred alternatives. Maybe they realised they lacked a central defender after Rudiger left for Madrid.

I'd love to see him play in the EPL, the toughest league in Europe.  And it's not even open to debate.  And I don't think he'll play less games if he went to Newcastle and play under Eddie Howe as I don't think the competition to play for first 11 spots would be as tough as clubs like say Chelsea or even West Ham which has a decent squad.

Anyway with the transfer window coming to a close, which player transfer would you guys think will be a success and which will flop?

if the target club was Newcastle, I think Draxler would still have a place in the main squad. being in tougher competition I think Draxler will get in the EPL.
But if Draxler wants something else, I think other German clubs have a lot of interest in him. but I would prefer to see Draxler will be in the EPL.

Julian Draxler, a midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, is a target for Newcastle United. The estimated price for the Germany international is around £25 million.
Draxler may have advanced farther because he was left off of PSG's preseason roster for their recent trip of Japan, but it is still unclear whether Newcastle will be his final destination. The 28-year-old Draxler has played for the French powerhouses for the last six seasons, but his most recent campaign has been primarily from the bench, with 13 of his 18 Ligue 1 outings coming as a replacement.
I would like it if he played in Germany again. He will earn more money in England, but I think he play more games in Germany. He hasn't had good years lately and he needs more playing time, which he can get in Germany. At first I thought about a move to Leipzig, but I would like to see him at Frankfurt. They play in the Champions League and have brought in a lot of players in the offensiv, but he would be a great addition there.

I'd love to see him play in the EPL, the toughest league in Europe.  And it's not even open to debate.  And I don't think he'll play less games if he went to Newcastle and play under Eddie Howe as I don't think the competition to play for first 11 spots would be as tough as clubs like say Chelsea or even West Ham which has a decent squad.

@mia_houston, I don’t think you really understand how formation works or you just want to draw out potential starting players for Barcelona. Sergio Busquet is a press resistant defensive midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker. He cannot play on any side of the midfield three. He must sit and be supported by two extra midfielders. You can say kessie and Pedri.
Xavi is a very technical coach and wants to keep Busquet in that role to recycle possession and he’s the most experienced in that possession.
It is quite interesting to dissect the depth of the Barcelona squad for the 2022-2023 season, in this summer's transfer market there have been four big names brought in by Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Christensen. With the addition of a number of big players, Barcelona's squad becomes stronger in the 2022-2023 season, the coach also easily determines which players will fill the starting eleven.

Possible Line Up Barcelona in the 2022-2023 season, Xavi still relies on the 4-3-3 formation because the classic formation is already very identical to Barcelona.

  • GOALKEEPER
Ter Stegen is still Barcelona mainstay as a goalkeeper, he has been the main choice of a number of previous Barcelona coaches, including the era of Xavi Hernandez. For the coating, Barcelona still has Inaki Pena and Neto.

  • DEFENDER
Pique and Ronald Araujo are likely to remain Xavi first choice at centre back, if Kounde is successfully brought in from Sevilla, Pique will have to give up his position to be replaced by Kounde. While Christensen, Eric Garcia and Umtiti will be lining up the center back.
While at left-back position will belong to Jordi Alba, but for the coating there is almost no choice, Barcelona is hunting for Marcos Alonso signature to become Jordi Alba competitor.
In the right-back sector, Barcelona also did not have much choice after Dani Alves left the squad. Sergino Dest can fill in at right-back, if needed Sergi Roberto can also play in that position. Barcelona are also trying to process the arrival of Cesar Azpilicueta so that the right-back position becomes stronger.

  • MIDFIELDER
The arrival of Franck Kessie brought a blessing to Barcelona, ​​he who was brought in for free from Milan could be the first choice with Pedri and Busquets. Xavi also has the option to play Gavi, Nico Gonzalez as their backing, including De Jong who still refuses to leave Barcelona.

  • STRIKER
Barcelona has more options up front, of course Lewandowski will be Xavi main choice as a new goal machine for Barcelona. Aubameyang and Depay could back up Lewandowski, but Barcelona is trying to sell Depay due to the growing stock of forwards. While for the left-winger there is Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, on the right wing it will be Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele will be the cover.

Timo has said that if he can feel happy in any club and it's not only in chelsea. I do believe that has become a signal if he may go out from chelsea. Chelsea already offered timo werner to the some clubs but none of these clubs interested with him. I guess if it caused by his performance that was so bad with chelsea. The chelsea was also feeling so difficult to get the new player. Majority of players are seeing chelsea is not as big as another big team since it's not owned by abramovich.

Two times chelsea's transfer hijacked by barcelona. Tuchel was thinking so hard to get an alternative players for that.

I doubt about neymar or ronaldo.

No offense but Newcastle was never really a big team, not even in EPL. The only way is if they could offer their target players huge amount of salary, since they have new rich owner. Though I still doubt they will easily get a star player with only offering huge salary but at least they can compete with the actual big team with that. Newcastle hasn't done anything significant in this transfermarket until now, I expect them to make some big announcement next month.
With the possession of Newcastle it was not as expected. A lot after the acquisition transfer at that time Newcastle could be more aggressive in terms of positioning. Newcastle should have learned a lot from Barcelona's lack of finances but seriously and insisted that they could do little by little improvement. Moreover, seeing Newcastle's financial position is not a big problem, at least they don't waste the opportunity for next season l. It doesn't even look extinguished and seems bad at managing the team.
even with a rich new owner, it doesn't look like Newcastle has any big moves to bring in good players. I doubt Newcastle will speak much in the transfer market. they look normal.
the progress shown at the end of last season was quite good. but that doesn't show they can compete with the strong EPL teams. Newcastle will have to make updates to their club if they are to look even better this season.
