How much Chelsea is going to spend this session  Huh Don't they have any Covid problem there?

That's the thing Klopp was talking about - the CAS decision regarding Man City's spending will open the gates to clubs who can spend.
Chelsea has money, Havertz is a top prospect, it makes sense from their standpoint.

I'm not sure if Chelsea's the right club for Havertz, him and Werner don't seem like a good offensive partnership - at least not on paper. But maybe Chelsea plans to play with a '10', now they will have both width and rotation depth with Ziyech transfer.

Lampard played 10 for Chelsea at times, it might be a system he remembers fondly. And Havertz has the potential to be one of the best 10's around.

Wondering the same^^. They are making options available earlier against the ones getting old like Willian, Giroud, Pedro. Still they are very big signings going over 150m Euros in total. Like someone said here when it would be shame if they don't win anything next year with that squad.

Seems like Unai Emery will be the new head coach of Villareal FC. Isn't official yet. (Source: https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2020/07/19/5f14a32322601df64e8b4644.html)

Let's see if Kovac can gain something in Monaco , he can show there if he is a good trainer !
Beside of all the rumores of all the transfers there are so many players i have seen on the market without any Clubs,
and who the contracts has ended , so i guess we will see of the end of the transfer period some movment there as the most times .

Of course Guardiola will be the best solution but I don't think that he will come this year or in the near future.

There's been more and more talk of him extending with City. He probably waited to see if they will get banned from Europe but now, with CL football and talk of 150 mil available for strengthening, I really don't see him leaving.
Barcelona is in a really bad shape and Messi's getting older, City squad is superior in both quality and depth and it's a team he assebled based on his playstyle. I think he'll sign an extension and remain in England.

Xavi would be to Barcelona what Zidane is to Madrid if you ask me. That dude was the smartest player
I know it is not a right now solution but it would basically be guarantee for their future to have a lot of success if this idea works out for them.

I agree with that and guess he would be more respected as Kluivert would be .
But we will see what they doing as there still some other good Trainers out there.
Maybe they come with something nobody expected for , how knows.


As I said in other post,  I think that players in Barcelona needs coach with authority and I'm not sure that Kluivert is the right choice for them.
In my opinion Xavi is much better choice for coach.
He is someone others can respect and follow.
Of course Guardiola will be the best solution but I don't think that he will come this year or in the near future.

Chelsea, who is rumored to have distrusted Marcos Alonso to fill the role of left back, made Frank Lampard's club start to target new players and one of them is Nicolas Tagliafico from Ajax Amsterdam.

However, the Blues' move to be able to get Tagliafico's signature could be hampered. Because according to reports from Goal, Atletico Madrid is also being interested in this Argentine player.

I guess they were doing pretty well up until the break but after the break they became a whole another level of team. If they are going to give anyone the keys, I feel like it should be Xavi by a big margin. You could give him some youth experience while getting anyone you want but after some experience with the youth team and all that and get his proper licenses, Xavi would be to Barcelona what Zidane is to Madrid if you ask me. That dude was the smartest player I have ever seen, sure there are a lot more talented players in the world but rarely we have ever seen a player that was as wise as Xavi on the field.

Transfer rumours:
Is Patrick Kluivert the new coach of Barcelona?

I heard that Barcelona were ready to hand Setien another chance or say season to manage but that was before Osasuna game. I also do think changing manager is necessary for Barcelona right now. I also didn't like how Setien was managing like switching the player positions totally from what they usually play. So I hope whoever comes next at least doesn't do that.
In my own point of view, Setien was not totally giving another chance but his subject is seems to be on hold till Barcelona find the perfect manager and I saw alot of people saying theres chance for Kluivert to be the next manager which is still not certain.
Nevertheless, manager changing players is not Setien problem and from my own view his problem is not knowing how to manage his team to generate a better result.

Borussia Dortmund have placed a £115m price tag on Jadon Sancho.
Zenit  are willing to offer around £9m for  Dejan Lovren.

Not too sure a rookie Kluivert would be a good manager for them but it’s everywhere online that the Barca players want it to happen - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8538085/amp/Barcelona-stars-eager-club-legend-Patrick-Kluivert-replace-doomed-Quique-Setien.html

Sancho is a great player, because of how young he is that doesn’t seem an unfair price.

Lovren is out of favour at Liverpool but 9,000,000 GBP seems cheap.

I dont know if Patrick Kluivert would be the best option for Barcelona , as there many others that would be better for them.
He only was the trainer of the Cameron national football team so far , for sure he was a great player but dont know if that would be going good with Barca.

Jadon Sancho would be a great player for Dortmund but i guess he will leave even the price tag is so high.

Lovren is getting old and he isn't the first choice in Klopp's mind anymore. Maybe that pushed Zenit to push a bid that low thinking that Liverpool might accept that and IMO it can happen as well. Still I don't think Zenit is not right club for him so I feel like move is gonna get denied from players end somehow.

Setien isn't doing a good job at Barcelona, players already are good so why the coach would still make the players exercising dormant style of play. He need to be changed for better coaching experiences and have won 6 tropics in one season lost to Osasuna underdogs.

Manchester City are interested in Diego Rosa and are ready to offer £ 4.5m.
Borussia Dortmund have placed a £115m price tag on Jadon Sancho.
Zenit  are willing to offer around £9m for  Dejan Lovren.

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

My response regarding the transfer of rumors is as follows
- Not sure Kluivert can make Barcelona a strong team, Kluivert's experience as a coach is still not enough to become a new coach Barcelona.
- I don't really know Diego Rosa, but if Manchester City are interested it means Diego Rosa is a potential player.
- I think the price of Jadon Sancho is too overrated, and should stay in Dortmund first in next season. So that his playing ability increases.
- Zenit is perfect for getting Lovren, hopefully this transfer will be realized.

It seems to me that Barcelona has wandered too much in recent years in its transfer policy and that both the team and the results are suffering because of it.
Lovren is no longer part of the Liverpool first team and for his career it will be good to go to a club where he will be the first option and where he will play.

About taxes, I almost sure that premier is using the "old" Italian tax system too, it was the same in every major league.

If a players earn 8m/y you also need to pay 8ish m/y in taxes.

This is what I found on this topic:
Premier League 45% taxes on players salaries (FA are currently in negotiations with the government to reduce to 30% due to pandemic crisis)
LA Liga 52% taxes on salaries
Bundes League 47.475% taxes on players salaries

I know, there is still big money when we talking about 40mill salaries, but there is much less difference than you claim. In any case, I support this measure from the Italian government to reduce the tax rate and help Italian football to be competitive again.

I certainly don’t think that’s crucial when we talking about top-class players. 80% of top players play in these three leagues, and they don't want to leave because of high taxes. If that it is crucial, probably Russian league will be more attractive with "only" 13% on football players salaries.

this time it isnt a player who changes the club but a coach (he is currently without club)
Niko Kovac

Quote
L'Equipe report: Kovac to join Monaco - Moreno has to leave club

Although Monaco beat Belgian Cercle Brugge 2-0 in a friendly match on Friday and the Ligue 1 season is currently suspended due to coronavirus outbreak, the club's management decided to thank Spanish expert Moreno.
Reportedly, Kovac had many offers since he was dismissed as Bayern Munich coach in November 2019 but was preparing for the 'right one' as he stated in one interview.
