If Musiala still have a brain, he should reject this offer.

Remember what Barcelona did to Gundongan, Barcelona now have Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Olmo, it's hard for Musiala to become a starter. I'd think Bayern Munich is far more superior than Barcelona.

If Musiala join Barcelona, he will get:
1. Salary deduction.
2. No guarantee to play in every match.
3. Lost a chance to win Champions League.

Maybe Chelsea saw something that we can't see at the moment. What I know is that Nicolas Jackson looks like an ordinary striker and his overall performance still far from being satisfactory. It seems like Chelsea still really hopes for the potential they think Jackson has. He probably has that because he's still young, but it could also be that he has reached a dead end, so that no matter how long it takes, he will still be like that.

If you look at Jackson performance last season it is very natural for Chelsea to extend his current contract, Last season Jackson appeared quite impressive even though he did not play as a center striker,  Jackson who actually plays as a central striker, is often deployed as a winger or behind the striker but that does not reduce his sharpness in scoring goals in last season, even this season he has managed to score two goals and one assist from the 3 matches that have been played by Chelsea in the Premier League.
But the thing that surprised me the most was the length of the contracts currently being offered by Chelsea to players,  Chelsea gave on average their players offers new contract for almost 8 to 9 years, so this is indeed a crazy decision made by the Chelsea management, indeed it is not wrong to tie up many young players with long contracts but they should also realize that not all players will have the same consistency and performance every season, so when these players are in poor condition and are not interested in other teams , of course whether they like it or not they have to continue to pay their salaries according to the valid contract.

In extending the contract Chelsea is right crazy to give a long time to the game while we know Jackson has not contributed much to Chelsea and last season he performed poorly but somehow Chelsea always extends long contracts not just 1 player but many.

Maybe we never know the reason behind it - or Chelsea management sees Jackson's potential in a brighter future so he is extended a longer contract for up to 8 more years.

I myself am not so sure he will perform brilliantly this season, he must try hard because Chelsea has given him full confidence with a long contract.

Now Jackson is 23 years old, and I like the way he plays, of those forwards that are in the team now he is one of the best. No need to worry about what will happen to him in 9 years, now he is young and full of desire to play, especially since any contract can be terminated, and Chelsea is most likely trying to protect themselves in this way so as not to think about extending the contract with this forward in a year or two. If the team changes the coach, then he can give preference to other players, as now Sterling was left out of the game, although he constantly played with Pochettino.

I'm not so sure about the truth of this news. Bringing Musiala to Camp Nou? Maybe it could happen but I don't know when.
What is clear is that I doubt Barca's finances are very bad at the moment, there is no way a deal can happen. For now, Barca must focus on improving their finances, don't be too ambitious about wanting star players out there, especially since there are many competitors to get Musiala's signature, there are still other rich clubs that can make good offers to Munich.
Another thing is that Munich will also keep Musiala at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich still needs Musiala's services to help the team in the Bundesliga and UCL.

Arteta has the potential to become a great coach like his predecessor Pep Guardiola, he was once an assistant and sought knowledge and experience from Pep Guardiola. until the time he handled Arsenal, although it was difficult for him at the beginning, Arsenal gradually became a strong team over the past two seasons. unfortunately, this Arsenal manager did not bring in players as we, the Gunners supporters, wanted, yes, Arsenal needs a pure striker who is productive and can be relied on in the front line. I admit he has a clear vision and mission, about the long-term progress of The Gunners. therefore, he did it with hard work. so, it would be very natural if Stan Kroenke or the club gave him trust by extending his contract at the Emirates Stadium. although Arteta has not been able to present the Premier League trophy, thanks to him Arsenal has provided competition in the Premier League to its rivals. other good news, Gabriel Jesus has been reported to have trained with the main team. in addition, Merino's condition is getting better. unfortunately, the certainty of Odegaard's condition still needs a few more tests, hopefully he will not be absent for a long time.

I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.

 The winning mentality is indeed a crucial aspect in football and it seems that Arsenal has been struggling with this for a while now. However, we also should remember that changing such deep-rooted issues takes time and consistent effort.

Mikel Arteta certainly has a mammoth task in front of him, but he has shown promise with the improvements the club has made under his coaching. Although they have not won the EPL title in recent times, Arsenal still have had some memorable performances and they seem to be more competitive now.

Regarding the comparison with Manchester United, it's important to note that the two clubs have had different journeys over the last few years. Each club has its own unique set of circumstances, so comparisons might not always give us the full picture.

Ultimately, only time will tell if Arteta and Arsenal can overcome these challenges and bring the glory days back to the Gunners.

Arsenal's target has always been to win the EPL even since more than two decades ago. Arteta was good. He impacted the club. But, they lack a winning mentality.

It has been 5 years since Arteta was at Arsenal, but he could give only 1 trophy to his club. It's a shame to compare his club to their rival, Manchester United. They won two trophies in two seasons.

The winning mentality has always been Arsenal's problem since Wenger was there. It even still continues till this time. I'm always wondering how they can get rid of this problem.

Yes, I also think that Nicholas Jackson is in a state of grace and that thanks to luck he manages to stay there and put in some good performances. In my opinion we can also consider the player as average, nothing exceptional but in any case if he was chosen by Chelsea it means that He has some good characteristics, I hope he continues to do well

As the current first choice striker of a big club like Chelsea, I consider Nicholas Jackson to be the most lucky striker in the English Premier League but to see a news this morning about his contract extension till 2033, I think the Senegalese is now the luckiest striker in Europe at the moment. Personally, I consider Nicholas Jackson as an average player who shouldn't be a first choice striker in a top club in Europe but since fate have given him the opportunity to spend more time at the London club, there's nothing anyone of os can do about than to wish him all the best. Hopefully for him, he outperforms the expectations of his critics which I happen to be one of them. Congratulations to him.

very light rumor about an interest in the situation for Osimhen from Juventus.
The deal with Vlahvic will expire in 2 years, so the last summer it will be the last one where Juventus will have "power" over it.

For now it is nothing but let see how it will evolve in the following months

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

Indeed! Arsenal had really dark days with Arteta at first. Like getting stuck at positions near relegation zone because of having terrible performances. But I'm really glad that the board weren't impatient with him. After a really patient waiting now we have a wonderful team built thanks to Arteta.    They couldn't win any Premier League title yet maybe but I hope one day it will happen too.

Arteta is currently the second best manager after Guardiola in the Premier League in my opinion. I don't remember if I said this before, I believe Arteta might be Guardiola's heir at Manchester City as well. 

The thing with Arsenal as a a club is that they don't easily get rid of their managers even after performing poor for long. I witnessed an era where arsenal ended the league in 8th position twice. It was literally a nightmare for the fans. But we've all seen a different arsenal team for the past two seasons now under the same arteta. I think arsenal has the chance of laying their hands on a trophy this season, seeing the quality of player in the team. Odegaard and Merino should be probably out for couple of weeks. Having those two quality in the midfield will help them in competing for major competition. Congrats to arteta and arsenal fans that still trust the process.


IMO, it's not ideal to make comparison of two players that plays in different position for same club, though we can't say the same when it comes to trophies. Kane is a well known striker, and his duty is literally to put the ball at the back of the net which he has been doing for the club. Musiala happens to be a  very good midfielder considering his current age, which is clearly an opportunity for him to improve. The both of them contribute to the team, so there is no point comparing them. But assuming the clubs eventually face some kind of financial challenges, and might want to get rid of just one of them, then I think harry is Likely to use the exit. That's just the truth, because Musiala still has lots of years ahead of him, and he is a very good player. Whenever I watch Germany or Munich's game, I always look forward to watching him. He is just my star man in both teams. Regardless, there is no need to make comparison as long as the club is fine with both players.

I mean Bayern could have a big part of it without a doubt, they could offer him amounts that he can't refuse, more than any other team in Europe (they probably can't offer more than some Saudi club) so it is still having to do with them a lot. If Real offers him 40 million a year for example, not that Real Madrid needs Musiala, I am just giving an example, and Bayern Munich offers him "only" 20 million, then yeah he could leave. So Bayern Munich has a responsibility to keep offering him the best contract they can afford to offer, without that they are not going to get much.

There could be some other teams who will chase after him, but as long as Bayern offers a good amount, I do not see him doing anything that crazy, feels like it would be just fine. I understand that it is not going to be just that easy to handle, but it's doable. Bayern Munich makes so much money, paying a part of that to Musiala is something they can afford if they want to keep him.

David Datro Fofana career in Chelsea is not run well because since bought from FC Molde on 2022 David Datro Fofana was never gets the opportunity to playing regular with this team although Chelsea was changing the manager several times since he was arrived but his condition is always be uncertain and during with Chelsea David Datro Fofana only loaned to the several clubs and the latest is Burnley and in this team David Datro Fofana performance is not impressive because from 15 matches he only scores 4 goals

I think David Datro Fofana has just make good decision by loan to FC Goztepe because if he stayed in Chelsea i think he has small chances to playing regularly because at Chelsea current squad there are some of forward players such as Palmer, Joao Felix or Sancho and he will be hard to compete against these players to gets one place on Chelsea starting lineup

Musiala and Harry Kane are of course two mainstay players whose positions are difficult to replace at the moment, so Bayern Munich will of course not try to let thir go easily , I  think Kane can't be compared with Musiala considering the position and role of both of them is also very different now, but in terms of sharpness and contribution of course both of them have made a big contribution to Bayern Munich's game so far, I think Kane is a player who is currently very safe both in terms of contract and position at Bayern Munich, but Musiala actually has to be Munich is the main focus for them to pay attention to considering the situation of Musiala who is currently being targeted by many teams, Musiala is still very young and he is a very valuable asset in the future, so it is very appropriate for Bayern Munich to retain him at this time.
