Cavani is definitely a class. certainly, he and Ronaldo are a separate story for themselves. but unfortunately, both are too old, especially for play in the Premier League, where a high level of physical fitness is required. Plus Cavani is very prone to injuries this season (I think he got hurt again, but playing for the national team). all minutes he missed were either because of injuries or a lack of strength to keep up.
If Man United wants to move forward, they have to give up players who have a maximum of one more good season.
Maguire, as it is, has to play next 10 years. even if he doesn't manage to improve his form or whatever is wrong with him, it will always be able to be a reserve option in "easy matches" when important players need to rest.

I really doubt that Newcastle United would have an incredibly transfer summer because hearing manager Eddie Howe says: "I don’t think it will be the revolution that everyone thinks it will be because we’re under financial restrictions" is just an indication that the board are not ready to spend cash. I believe the likes of Mbappe and Erling Haaland are beyond their reach for now.

I still think at this he is one of the best midfielders out there. In CL leg against Chelsea didn't he played more than 90 minutes. Yeah he is getting old but given the performance he is putting still, doesn't feels like it is affecting him at all. Moreover Madrid are about to offer him contract extension if I recall correctly. Talking about replacement, Madrid can bring in another so yeah Zaniolo could be a decent addition.

Arsenal fans and the board are the real problem of the club and you can't help but wonder if many are just comfortable with failure that they don't recognize mediocrity when one like Arteta stare them in the face. The board and the club fans like talking about ‘the process’ so much that they believe that those bunch of average players in the team will be world-class in few years time.

Indeed, money is everything, but with a lot of money does not guarantee the club can win all the titles, money is needed to boost the team so that it is better, but the club must first find a coach who is full of experience and a coach who is able to bring in talented players and players. who want to fight for the progress of the club.

I don’t think Arsenal would want to change their pattern of not spending money to purchase players anytime soon. So, I don't think they would really be willing to spend £50 —55million for Ruben Neves but I guess it depends if the club really want him though and how exactly Arteta wants to set up. Neves would actually be an upgrade on Xhaka even though Xhaka has been more advanced.

It's true what you say, some teams fail even though they have bought many star players, not only MU and PSG, Madrid, Chelsea have also experienced the same thing. Even though they've brought in star players, they haven't won a title. However, if the Newcastle board wants to run its business, of course adding more star players will increase the value of sponsorship contracts for the club, so maybe they will try to get star players quickly, in addition to boosting their position in the standings as well as to improve the club's value to sponsors for additional income for the clubs.

Cavani had paid his dues with Man Utd despite his short stint in Man Utd, moreso the arrival or appointment of Erik ten could mar or deprive him regular playing time because the philosophy of the new manager is to feature young players, No doubt Cavani had proven to be a good striker though he is ageing, thus he needs to move to another club where a regular playing time will be guaranteed.
 When the new manager resume for the job he would determine the whether Maguire and other irrelevant players services is needed or not after a thorough accessment during training and pre-season matches.

I don't want to be a hypocrite but I think money is a surefire way to attract players to join, in fact we can see how PSG, Manchester City and Chelsea are clubs that used to be mediocre teams, but they turned into title rival clubs and are respected by other clubs after they are held by wealthy owners.
As is now with newcastle in my opinion, they just need to keep their position this season in order to survive in the premier league and next season I'm sure if they will use their financial strength to build a club that is competing for the title in the league England, indeed changes will not happen quickly but I think now newcastle is starting to move in a better direction so maybe in the next 2 or 3 seasons we will see them standing on a par with manchester city, liverpool, manchester united and chelsea in premier league.

Newcastle have to learn what happened with Man United and PSG, both teams spent big money to be able to get some star players.
But unfortunately both Man United and PSG's performances were far from expected, there was no solid teamwork between the two teams.
Most of the star players that PSG and Man United have played are too selfish, even though the key to the success of a team is to create solid
cooperation between players. And I didn't find that at Man United and PSG, so hopefully Newcastle don't follow in the wrong footsteps.
Newcastle must use its financial strength to build the team slowly and gradually, in order to make Newcastle one of the strongest teams
in the Premier League, because building a good team cannot be done in a short time. In my opinion Newcastle should not only focus on
bringing in star players, but they also have to improve all sides of the club.

To be honest, I think the capability of Dortmund has lessened day by day. even I remember I used to be hyped to see Dortmund play. but now it seems like they are always going to be the second-best and the worst part is that I think even Dortmund has accepted that fact.

And obviously, any English team right now is always better than Dortmund because as a player you can learn a lot of things and play against a lot of great players and that's how a player eventually gets better.

crazy stuff - I just read - Newcastle united shareholder have collective value of £320 billion
This alone is more than the riches of Premier league owners. The close contest is Manchester city Shekih Mansour with £ 23.3 billion - what a change!

I wonder if players would actually want to play in Newcastle United just because of money. I have no doubt that money will surely bring some great players to the team but the problem is money cannot fix everything.
We can just look at Manchester United and PSG. both the teams has really good players in the squad but there are not performing as they should be. So, I think it is very well that they have good amount of money but everything needs to be in place for the team to perform better.

Manchester United are set to lose Edinson Cavani this summer. So far this season, he has appeared in just 12 Premier League matches. It seems that Old Trafford is an unsuitable place for career development either players or coaches. At first, things were fine, until injuries struck, coupled with Ronaldo's arrival. He was definitely hampered by the injury he had as well as the return of Ronaldo. However, players like Cavani are set to depart. Others, such as Harry Maguire, are staying. Doesn't seem strange, does it?

Luka Modrić is obviously a little old but he still has the skills. but honestly, the skills are a little lackluster, or at least not at the level when he was in his prime. I think it is not going to be that bad but the problem is I don't think he will be able to play the whole 90 minutes.
Nicolò Zaniolo can be a great asset to the team. and unlike Luka Modrić he has time on his side and can improve a lot. this seems to be a good decision.

Journalist reveals club has received ‘proposal from England’ for reported Spurs target
But this also seems to be e something of good potential.

No one knows, Newcastle may turn into a big team in the next several hours because of the huge funds they have now. Many players (including top star players) might be interested to join if they see there is a big opportunity for the team become a competitive team in EPL and in Europe competitions. For now, it is still hard to see top players come to Newcastle but I think the owner will try every possible ways to build a great team with the money he owns.

The biggest problem for Arsenal was that they did not spend in the transfer market when they really should have. if they brought in a good midfielder I think they wouldn't have been facing this type of problem. Neves is a really good midfielder and the best part is he is 25 years old. and players of this age are quite mature and also because the prime days of that there are still ahead of him. I also agree that Neves can be a great option for Arsenal.

Barcelona is looking for a young left-back to replace 33-year-old Jordi Alba this summer. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club relies too much on Alba and doesn't have a reliable replacement, so the position of left back is a priority in the market. Barca Universal portal has been updating the list of possible new arrivals.

One of Barca's main targets is Javi Galan from Celta, and among the new names who have shown up most recently are Borna Sosa, and Ramy Bensebaini. Jose Gaya from Valencia has been on the club's wish list for a long time, and his contract expires in 2023, which would mean he could be available for reasonable compensation in the summer. The return of former La Masia student Alex Grimaldo, who has been with Benfica since 2016, is also possible, and his contract expires in 2023 as well. 25-year-old Angelino, a former Manchester City player who is currently at RB Leipzig, is another option.

Barcelona's wish list for left-backs:
Borna Sosa (25, Stuttgart, contract until 2025)
Marcos Alonso (31, Chelsea, contract until 2023)
Angelino (25, RB Leipzig, contract until 2025)
Ramy Bensebaini (26, Borussia M., contract until 2023)
Javi Galan (27, Celta, contract until 2026)
Jose Gaya (26, Valencia, contract until 2023)
Alex Grimaldo (26, Benfica, contract until 2023)
Nicolas Tagliafico (29, Ajax, contract until 2023)

This is another excellent player I have seen at Roma, he's push for trophies will hasten this move.
I saw how he performed yesterday in the game against Bodo Glimt in the Europa league competition.
He will be a good addition to Juventus, I'm sure they will qualify for the neat Champions League.

I wouldn't blame Arteta for the poor Arsenal form due to the injured Thomas Partey, the other midfielders who ought to have cover-up for him are not really playing well or not in-form, Elneney and Lokonga are two options that could have replaced Partey, Lokonga had not impressed when played probably he should have been paired with an experienced midfielder like Xhaka to get the best from him unfortunately Xhaka is playing out of position, playing left-back in place of injured Tierney.
Arteta as a matter of fact needed to sign another top class midfielder like Nerves now that they may qualify for UCL or Europa and perfect replacement for injury prone Partey.
