Pogba according to sky sport is excluded from the presentation of the third shirt of Manchester United.

Is quite interesting for the Adidas man, one of the most important player of the world with a huge amount of followers on socials media to be excluded from the presentation of the 1st 2nd and third shirt of Adidas.

Is he leaving Adidas or what? How can be an Adidas' man to be excluded from the shirts of an Adidas team? Make no sense to me.

The Leverkusen president confirming in Twitter that kai havertz future will be decided clearly after the Europa League ended .

That's the only way to end any speculation and yeah nothing to report anymore just waiting for that time to come .
Every chelsea fan can't really wait to see the trio ziyech werner havertz hit the Stamford Bridge ground on 12th September...
I'm pretty confident Havertz will turn blue by next week.

this is a one-year loan without a option to buy him
however, sports director Frank Baumann hopes that Tahit Chong will feel so comfortable in bremen that he doesn't want to go back to england at all, and that he will judge himself to be the best club for his future career.

The move of Tahit Chong from Manchester United to Werder Bremen seems to be (almost) confirmed. He's already training in Bremen (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/aug/16/tahith-chong-manchester-united-loan-to-werder-bremen)

Haven't followed him or Manchester United in general so can anyone tell me if he'll be able to help Werder in the Bundesliga? After their last season, which ended almost in relegation, Bremen will probably have a hard season ahead. Does anyone know if Bremen has an option to buy Chong after the loan?

It looks like ACF Fiorentina is interested to sign FC Bayern midfielder Javi Martinez. The current market value of the 31 year-old midfielder is about €13m and he still has a contract at Bayern until 30.06.2021. In my opinion a transfer could make sense, since Fiorentina is looking for additional midfielders and Javi would get the chance to keep on playing on a high level with one of his former teammates.

William stay in Arsenal club is a good pair with gunners players, despite the fact his an old player, William is a perfect coveted player that gets something out of nothing, creates goal out of lost hope and had been a finisher too. Let's see how the team play could be with newly signed William next seasons starting shortly.

It has been rumored that Kai Havertz will join Chelsea, but Leverkusen seems to be making a stall offer
against other clubs to get a high selling price. So it is not certain that he will join Chelsea next season.
We have to be a little patient waiting for updates transfer related to Kai Havertz.

I think that its already fix in the background that he will playing the next season at a other Club.
Maybe they are just waiting a bit if there will be one with a better offer as Chelsea has done at the moment .
If there is no other coming he play in Chelsea for sure.

Willian at Arsenal doesn't exactly send me into raptures, but if it's him flanking Auba, should be a great pairing. Not many 32-yr olds get to play in such a fast league at that age. I'm loving how it's all turning out;)

Thiago to Liverpool's all right for me, it's like replacing Coutinho (whom I still prefer), and who wasn't exactly our style of play but he's very useful if we need a different strategy for teams like Atletico (and we seldom have a plan B for that kind of rare but always going to be there type of tea,!). Also, for that price tag, definitely a bargain in current conditions.


Awesome, hope to see you there, going to have quite a number of us, not too many, but majority probably idiot like me who will bet with the news and not so much the team info so native speakers might have a slight advantage;)

@cryptofrka -- yup, that's what I said when the Thiago news, and even when the Werner news surfaced. We're actually good in midfield, and lacking everywhere else, with the CB positions being the most dire. We basically have VVD and Gomez, but everyone else is not a great fit. I actually think our priorities in order of importance: CB, W/ST, and GK. Adrian's very decent, god bless him, but when Adrian could not play, we scraped by.

So yeah Thiago's ok for me, but it doesn't solve what I think is our biggest issues. But here's to Klopp outfoxing all of us. Maybe he's going to make Mina 2.0 and that loanee we just got back too, he's a striker.

So sad to see willian leaving Chelsea.
I was one of his fans and I loved the way he was performing in the blues.
It is a mistake that Chelsea left him joining an opponent in the premier league.

I'd definitely disagree here and my opinion is that central midfield is the only part of the team that has deep cover and variety. Let's go position by position:

GK - Alisson and Adrian are a good fit. Alisson is a top keeper, Adrian did well most of the season. He cost us the FA cup and CL but that can be expected from a back-up keeper. No changes needed there.
LB/RB - Tsimikas added cover to LB position, Williams will do the same on RB. Fabinho and Milner are players that can also jump in if needed.
CB - another player needed for depth after the sale of Lovren. Dijk is great but Matip and Gomez are injured really often. Gomez was also out of form lately.
CM - great depth here. Fabinho, Henderson and Wijnaldum were the most picked but we still have Keita, Milner and Chamberlain as substitutes - also Minamino in an offensive role.
LW/RW - cover needed, Shaqiri and Origi simply did not do enough. Minamino as well, but he only had half of season so hopefully he'll do better in 2021.
ST - Firmino is the only one but since both Mane and Salah can play ST and Minamino and Chamberlain can cover 'false 9', I'd still prefer a winger instead of a striker.

Based on all that, I'd say Liverpool's priorities in the transfer market are as follows:

- a player that can cover one of the wings and false 9
- centre back that can compete with Matip and Gomez
- back-up striker
- creative midfielder

I'd definitely bring Thiago, I love how he plays. I just disagree that Liverpool needs to strengthen midfield first. It's actually really good - but it would be even better if we brought Thiago. In that case, one player will leave for sure because we already have enough midfield players. I love Milner but hopefully it would be him, I still think it would be really good if we managed to keep Wijnaldum.

It's a free signing, and to me that's only what makes it a good deal for Arsenal, I do not quite understand Arsenal's transfer business, first they gave David Luiz another year contract and now signing Willian who's above 30, and past his peak. Arteta needs a good squad to compete next season, but with their transfer business thus far, I think next season we'll still see the same Arsenal we have become used to.
The midfield is the only area I think Liverpool need one or two new players. Milner is getting old and Henderson is getting injured often. Thiago is a nice buy, and will fix some midfield issues Liverpool has, the price tag is also very affordable and imo it's a good deal overall.

I was wondering why Spurs didn't approached for Willian. He is a great winger and adding him would bolster the attacking line of any team. The winger however preferred a London club so that left Arsenal and Spurs to make move on the winger. I knew about Arsenal interested but didn't knew about the move from the Spurs end. Thanks for the read @Juggy777

@cryptofrka it’s a well known fact that Mourinho wanted to bring William at Tottenham during the current transfer window, but Tottenham chairman didn’t allow this move to happen, and I feel that he has made a big mistake by not sanctioning this move. The key reason why I’m saying it’s a big mistake is because last time Mourinho didn’t get his transfer targets while he was managing Manchester United he kept on venting his frustration and spoiled the mood at Old Trafford, and therefore I’m sincerely hoping that he does not repeat this type of behaviour again at Tottenham.

Willian had a really strong finish to the season and looks like a decent transfer for Arsenal. It's a free signing and when he wants to be, he's a good player. In this Arsenal team he will probably be a starter.

Regarding the Thiago deal - I really hope it's true. Liverpol probably waited and tried to get Wijnaldum deal done, since he's not signing this would be a perfect transfer. A superior player to Gini and an improvement to an already great team. Happy days

That seems pretty close to happen. Thiago is eager to join Liverpool and just Liverpool has to match the bid Bayern is expecting for the player. €30m is also seems to be a decent price tag so I think it is very close to happen.

Would love to see him playing in PL for a change.

The German newspaper Bild just reported that a deal between Thiago and FC Liverpool is about to be finalised. FC Bayern is looking for a transfer fee of about €30m - €40m. I am pretty sure all parties will also find an agreement in that matter.

Ok thanks for this info.
Given that he is a Journalist from BBC Sport,  a very reputable world company (and not some insignificant online portal ) it seemed to me that it should be shared.
