Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has announced his retirement from football. He was only 30 years old but had suffered a lot of injuries in his career. It was sad for him to say goodbye to football at an early age. Today, healthy football players can play football until the age of 40.

Jack Wilshere is actually a potential player but it is a shame that injury has become a frightening specter for his career, he was forced to retire at a young age but with what he is going through this is a very right decision even though it is a bit unfortunate.
with what he has dedicated to football especially the Premier League he is a talented player who has shown a very beautiful game.
This is a very tough decision for a player who is only 30 years old but we all have to respect that.

Jackie. Arsen Wenger's first son as I normally call him.
He was not dedicated at a particular season, he was caught smoking and drinking which lead to he's downfall in the club.
Was a promising young player but lost it all, I can tell he was likened to Xavi at Barcelona.
Wishing the best to him ahead.

Roma are rumoured to be after Crystal Palace left winger Wilfried Zaha now. Zaha has been performing really wonderfully for Crystal Palace for years. He has scored many goals for his team despite not being a centre-forward normally. Roma must be considering to increase their attacking power at the moment. However there are already two decent wingers in the team too. These wingers are Justin Kluivert and El Shaarawy. Kluivert was a loanee last season actually so maybe they would think of doing it again. Then Zaha would have only El Shaarawy to compete against.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had left Roma for Inter Milan on a free transfer, may be that is why Mourinho turned his radar towards Wilfried Zaha, this a big opportunity for Wilfried Zaha to move to Roma and play under Mourinho where he can also play Europa league, he is a very pacy and skillful player who will perform brilliantly in Seria A, Tammy Abraham has been very consistent in goal scoring last season, this is a player signed from EPL title thus I have no doubt Wilfried Zaha won't disappoint if eventually signed for Roma, however his transfer is subject to agreement between the Crystal Palace and Roma.

And Barca have submitted a 'final offer' of £47m for 25-year-old Raphinha, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal. What are the real chances of Raphinha going to Barcelona?

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/62073386

In this final offer, I have heard that there is not only 47 million pounds. There are some bonuses as well. It is showed like he has been linked with Arsenal also now but I don't expect them to make any offer for him now. Because while there are much better teams like Chelsea and Barcelona in this deal there is no way Arsenal are signing him. Raphinha's first choice is to play for Barcelona in the first place. Let's say that didn't happen then they would reach an agreement with Chelsea.

Ask me if I'm surprised and I will say no.
Jose Mourinho has always worked with black talented players.
Wilfried Zaha won't be the first and will not be the last black player also.
But Viera seems to have no problem with him in the club. I do not see him leaving.

Transfer rumours:

Manchester United have made an improved £43m offer for 24-year-old Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez in a bid to beat Arsenal to the Argentina centre-back's signature. What Martinez will decide in the end?
Amid intense speculation over 37-year-old Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo's future, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has recognised the need to strengthen his team's attacking options, while the Dutchman remains keen on adding a right-back and centre-back. Personally, it seems to me that there is a very small chance that Ronaldo will stay at Manchter United. The question is which club can afford him?
Barcelona boss Xavi wants to re-sign France winger Ousmane Dembele, 25, who is a free agent after his contract at the Nou Camp expired. However, the club's sporting director Mateu Alemany would prefer a move for Leeds' Brazilian attacker Raphinha. What are the real chances of Dembele staying at Barcelona? Does Barcelona have the finances to keep him in the club?

Juventus brought two really strong players with Pogba and Di Maria and they will definitely perform better there than before.

CR7 is said to want to transfer to Chelsea but is that really true? I do not think so.

Sevilla transfered a very strong defender from Galatasaray, remember the name Marcao!  Wink

Paul Pogba has just undergone a medical examination at Juventus. It will happen to you that you are not found to be fit or have other physical complaints. Let's hope a villain like Pogba comes back to life at Juventus, he was way below his level at United. Must also have had to do with the attitude of the other team players and a bad coach with too little experience. It is a pity for Ten Hag that he is now in danger of losing his top players. Juventus could also use some success again. And Juventus certainly lost De Ligt so of course, they also had to attract players.
I agree that Paul Pogba's play at Manchester United is far from its true quality. But Paul Pogba is not the only one who has experienced this, I can say that all Manchester United players are playing below the standard. Only their goalkeeper, David de Ghea, played well in my opinion. I'm not sure why they played that way, but that's how they played last season.

Arsenal are on the look out for a left back as back up option for Tierney.The player is always prone to injury,and as such,Arsenal really need someone that can deputise for him when he is injured and create a positive impact on the team as well.Several names have been mentioned,but a name that continuously  been linked to the emirate is Matinez of Ajax.The left back is very versatile and will be a very good cover to Tierney.But It seems the player will be making a move to old Trafford where he will reunute with his old boss.
It's a pity Tavares who ought to have been a backup for Tierney in Arsenal had not really played up to expectations, Tavares was prone to errors at the left back and most of the matches he played lately Arsenal lost that game, the best bet is to find a better alternative which is Matinez of Ajax, however the defender is a centre back I don't know why he wanted to join Man Utd who had Varane and Maguire playing in that role, If Arsenal couldn't get his signature the team should look elsewhere for a competent Left back to deputize injury prone Tierney.

Juventus will be highly competitive next season, they've made impressive signings and they're looking pretty solid, Inter Milan too have made impressive signings while AC Milan have not been super active yet.
Juventus also lost some good players; losing Giorgio Chelili, Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi, and Federico Chiesa in a single season will be difficult, and they will soon lose De Ligt. Pogba and Di Maria were both signed as free agents.

Yeah, I understand they lost some players too, but Chiellini was way too old already, and Dybala is a great talent and along with Bernardeschi and Chiesa whilc I would rather they keep, but none of these players were able to secure a fulltime starting spot, so It's as though they were sold since most of them left on a free transfer, there is no need have players that doesn't suit the manager's plan, so it's a move in right direction.
I'm not sure what the issue was with the other players, but Dybala had a contract issue with the club management; he played an important part of the season last season, so it was more than what the manager wanted. I have no idea why he chose to stay in the Serie A rather than move abroad. There were numerous English clubs interested in him.

A fee of £43m is too much

I wouldn't say so with the way transfer fee are these days, and given the amount of experience Ake have acquired while playing so multiple teams in the, He's cheaper than what Arsenal were willing to pay for Ben Mee and what Man Utd paid for Maguire so I think it's only a fair price.
He is a good player, but I anticipated his value to have decreased after his move from Bournemouth to Manchester City. He spent the majority of the season on the bench.

Harry Maguire won't make it in Pep Guardiola's team and Also Jurgen Kloops team. He'll be benched soon in Manchester United. Anticipate!!
So, Nathan Ake is far better option for Chelsea than Harry Maguire. Harry Maguire is simply been protected at England not to show he's flaw's as they always play to he's strength. Irksome!!

Southgate sucks, we'll see in little or no time.

Well the discussion here wasn't if Harry Maguire will fit into the Chelsea squad or not. What we're discussing is the fee Manchester city are asking for Ake when he wasn't even a regular started then an instant of Maguire fee was brought up. And by the way Southgate sucks no doubt. I do understand your frustrations as a Manchester united fans but do note Maguire wasn't this bad when you bought him for a record fee. He was performing quick well which resulted to him been valued that high (English agenda also contributed).

For instance did you see how poorly Rudiger was performing while playing for Sarri/Lampard but saw how he drastically changed immediately he was paired with the right player managed by a coach that actually knows what he's doing?. You think Virgil van Dijk does the dirty works himself, think again.

I think this way will only burden Man United and you can say it is an internal problem from Barcelona which should be resolved by themselves before they sell him to Man United because if there is a dispute like that it will cause all transfers to be delayed until the transfer of the player is cancelled. Eriksen is still recovering from the injury he suffered last season so I think it was a big gamble when he took Eriksen to Man United.
Barcelona can pay off the arrears in De jong salary as soon as possible if Barcelona want to release De jong this summer.

on the other hand Erik has registered 31 players who will undergo a pre - season tour. But I see their star name Cr7 is not included in this pre-season tour even the player who just signed this summer, namely Eriksen, is also not in the pre-season tour squad.

I won't compared Leicester city Maguire to Manchester City Ake that doesn't even start games. Maguire was another beast while he was at Leicester city but Manchester united cause brought out the worst in him. Even as he's experiencing his worst form, the difference is still clear when he plays for the england national team and him playing for Manchester united, he doesn't make those silly mistakes.

I think Chelsea going for Ake is just because other defensive players transfer aren't looking like it'll be successful. Assuming he was a priority, would have negotiated a deal as we were also negotiating that of sterling. He isn't worth that much I don't understand why Manchester City is placing that much fee on him when they aren't broke like Barcelona.



Did you by chance watch this game ? Then you would see Harry Maguire is the most protected English and England Premier League Player. Tomori did most of the dirty works while Harry Maguire was kept less busy observing ( No offense, I'm also a defending player so I can see all of these flaw's, this shit easy noticable ) Since Tomori was pacy enough and good to cover he's own block Trippier had a great game not until he got injured and was substituted.

Over to Harry Maguire, he has no pace and in modern football, go round the top club's in the world that won them various leagues, you'll find no sluggish defending player as Harry Maguire ( No offense ). In these game, Recce James had a bad game why ? Cause he was ( behind the scenes asked not to advance in the opposite team cause of Harry Maguire ) go take a good look at the video tape, Recce James didn't play did way he did when Chelsea played against Juventus in the Champions League. ( That was one of he's best games ).

Harry Maguire won't make it in Pep Guardiola's team and Also Jurgen Kloops team. He'll be benched soon in Manchester United. Anticipate!!

I didn't expect the Juventus fans to be so enthusiastic about the joining of Paul Pogba with Juventus again. Actually, it is very natural for Juventus
supporters to love Pogba so much, after what Pogba gave to Juventus before joining Man United. But this of course will be a heavy burden for Pogba,
meaning Pogba must show good form like when Pogba was still at Juventus. Hopefully Pogba can make a comeback with Juventus, because Juventus
do need a quality midfielder right now. I can't wait to see Pogba's form with Juventus again, but I am one of those who believe that Pogba is more suited
to the game in Serie A. So I am optimistic that Pogba can put out his best performance with Juventus, hopefully Juventus can win the Serie A trophy
with Pogba joining.
It's a brilliant deal. He comes back to the team and knows at least half of the people who are still active. Someone else in the team or in the club, he is immediately accepted again. And another player comes in with Angel du Maria. So offensively that looks good with Kean, Chiesa and Vlahovic, now there's another change coming to the defense.

even the offer of 55 million pounds given by Chelsea has been approved by Leeds. But unfortunately Raphinha is more interested in joining
Raphinha's interest in Barcelona is also quite high. that means when Barcelona and Leeds will make a transfer deal. then Barcelona will get the player. but we know Barcelona have not recovered with their finances. at least Barcelona can match the offer given by Chelsea. or maybe they could negotiate some other advantage Leeds could get.
Barcelona offered €55m to Leeds to sign Raphinha who wants to join them. Meanwhile Chelsea offered €65m which is more attractive than Barca's offer which won't be able to add more than Chelsea offers.
This story is one of the most interesting ones in this transfer window, especially that Barcelona is limited in cash from a while..
