I think so too, Juventus under Motta is more detailed especially since they have brought in a new striker of course this will make Juventus more active in front of the opponent's goal, because seeing Juventus currently under Motta they only lack sharpness in front of the goal and in my opinion they only need a few midfielders and I support Motta because replacing Motta at this time is not a good choice in my opinion especially for Xavi's candidate I think Juve will only experience a setback if that happens because if you look at Xavi he can't work with ordinary players he Xavi is used to big players.

I really support Juventus with Motta but Juventus also have to do that for Motta because success comes when they support each other, the strategy that Motta brought to Juventus is also very fresh from the style of building attacks to defending and this shows that Juventus only needs to be patient with Motta so that he can absorb into his players.

I also think Thiago Motta is successful tactically. Xavi will not pull a rabbit out of a hat. Because the players who play the game and Juventus need a good striker in terms of offense. We all know that. So far, they have only been defeated against Napoli in the last week. They were the only team without a defeat in the Italian league before this week. I think this shows that there is no problem with the manager. If the management makes such a decision, I think they will make the wrong decision.

Felix the sad guy. This name seems good enough for him considering his situation. After Atletico Madrid sent him to the Chelsea, and he is not getting minutes on the blues. He's now linked to the Aston Villa.

I think Felix has to accept Aston Villa's offer. Although he will move as a loan, it's better than stay longer in Chelsea.

I'm sure Emery will able to utilize his skill. He needs Villa to give him more minutes.

Because if you make mistake in making decisions for unreasonable use of money, it can become serious problem like what happened to Barcelona, the financial crisis will have bad impact in the long term, especially for the continuity of the quality of play which will certainly decline as well.
But if think about it in more detail, I wonder why the team management dares to spend large amounts of money in row in several seasons to meet Ten Hag request in an effort to develop and improve playing strength if in the end Manchester United fires Ten Hag, this is pretty ridiculous condition.
Most team when they have the option to change coach or fire will definitely not want to spend large amounts of money to bring in players, but Manchester United is not like that.

I also heard this news from other news sources. It's just that Juventus' move doesn't seem to mean they will rush to bring in Xavi and replace Motta. It's just that Juventus is building communication if in the future or next season Juventus really needs it when Motta can no longer be relied on. But I agree with you that Juventus' real problem has not been its players, even since Allegri's time. But Juventus rarely competes for the best players in the transfer market. Usually Juventus only targets mid-priced players. Because Juventus today is not like in the past, which was ambitious enough to bring in great, famous players.  And if Xavi is brought in, maybe it will be in the next season. And that will happen if Motta really brings bad results to the team. But so far I think Motta can still control the quality of the team. It's just that this team needs new, better players in the front and middle lines.

What is certain is that at his current age and any club is starting to doubt him because he is prone to injury, maybe he is thinking of returning to his hometown and if given the opportunity he will play there but yes he must be willing to have his salary cut because it is impossible for Santos to give Neymar a high salary like Al Hilal. Because he has a history of serious injuries he should be more careful if he wants to continue his career as a soccer player he still has at least 3-4 years before deciding to retire.

This is why i feel sorrow for so many fans that keeps complaining that their clubs has failed to spend like Manchester City.
Isn't it obvious that the English Premier League is one sided. Manchester City has been under investigation since last year(if i'm not mistaken), but still, no judgement has been passed. If we are to evaluate the total cost of those City players, then there are so many things that i believe the media isn't aware of.

The total fee that Manchester City used in signing Haaland was around 85M pounds, which until today, i will keep doubting if actually Haaland was valued at that price. On the other hand, Bellingham joined Madrid for around 100M pounds, which was what i actually expected for Haaland as well. Truth is, i believe there are so many things that has occurred behind the scene, and it won't still affect them because they clearly know their way out. Manchester city has signed about 3 players just in this January transfer window, while a club like Arsenal that doesn't have any FFP issue is still struggling with one(which has always been a rumor).

The highest penalty that can be given to City is probably to pay a fine like you've said, or maybe to suspend them from participating in one of the tx window, which won't be a problem anyways.

I think it's just a rumor, from the news, I don't understand how Juventus on the one hand wants to keep Motta while at the same time they are trying to establish contact with Xavi as a form of anticipation if there is a decline in performance. Indeed, the rumor still sounds reasonable if you consider it as an anticipatory step, but a club like Juventus doesn't seem to need to do much drama to change their manager. If you look at the number of draws that Juventus has obtained this season, the statistics are indeed very disappointing, maybe some Juventus fans have tried to voice the change of manager at this time.

For Bayern to make such a decision it just means they still value the player and that he is still crucial in their plans forbthe future and think it is best to commit him further than losing him to Real Madrid who happens to be a rival in the champions league. Now Bayern Munich have him signed until 2030, mind you some of this rumours sometimes happen to transfer market stunts pulled by player agents to force parent clubs to act and up offers for their clients.

If in the end this rumor is true then it looks like Motta is one of the coaches who will be replaced because he always plays draws and cannot get points that they can actually get easily

But for Juventus I think it's still too hasty when trying to replace Motta now. Not that I'm not disappointed with his performance because of course for a club class Juventus has a lot of draws even when they are favorites it's a little outrageous but this is the first season for Motta to be at a big club so I think at least 1 season can still be considered for this coach especially he is a young coach.

Replacing him now could have an impact on the scheme too in the end even though his replacement is Xavi where he is one of the young coaches who do need to be considered but I think Juventus still have to think about Motta at least until the end of the season.

Neymar made his football recital with Santos in the Brazilian league.
When he came to Barcelona, ​​he didn't have such a great football.
Maybe, as you said, he was in Messi's shadow.
He may not have had enough support in the team, but if he had gotten stronger, he would have stayed, fought and made his mark at Barça, but he didn't do that. He went to PSG.
PSG thought that if they got Neymar, they would be champions of the Champions League, but that didn't happen either. Now he's at Al Hilal, but football has been a long time since Neymar left. He's gained a lot of weight. He doesn't take care of himself either. He's a shame for himself.

We should not be surprised if Xavi Hernandez ends up been Juventus manager because European football is complex. The unexpected always happen and we consider a good team that are elite and competitive for titles.

Xavi Hernandez is one of the few good coach in football. He's experienced and also consider a genius, bringing upon himself a basic route to compete for titles. He fits into the shoes of handling managerial activities. You referred to Thiago Motta as dumb manager for Juventus? Failing to acknowledge the fact that he's doing his best for Juventus. Since appointed manager, he's always coming up with something solid to make upgrading steps for the club. The Old lady's will be in pursuit to appoint Xavi Hernandez as backup replacement, it will happen if they're able to let go of Thiago Motta.

It's obvious that Neymar does not long stay in football any longer,I think by 2026 will be his last performing in football carers, so for now he sustain injury and I'm thinking that is using the injury to delay his time so that he can recover fully to participate well in world 2026, I think the analysis you tender concerning him going to the club he started with at Santos is right, he is planing to return home, because I have come across of such in a newspaper before, so I believe their's fact on your discussion.

Neymar departure from Barcelona was the right move as he wouldn't be able to achieve greatness while playing in the shadow of Messi. Everything was being done for Messi to get the glory at Barcelona and neymar needed his own acknowledgement. It's just sad that the move to PSG didn't favour him and that was as he didn't move to a top club in the more important leagues but went to a farmers league that not many people watch the league. Neymar lacks the discipline that Ronaldo and Messi has, he still wouldn't be able to reach his full potential regardless of which club he went to but any other clubs would had been better than that PSG that he went to, to end his career.

Sincerely speaking, Thiago Motta deserved to be given time. Juventus are not doing very badly, the only difference is that they are playing more draws than winning. It's better that they ain't losing. It's not a matter of sacking the coach. If the goals ain't coming it's probably they don't have the best CF to do the job for them. They should go get a good attacker and watch how their team will start winning matches. Victor Osimhen is there in the Market, Gyokeres is there in the market why don't they just get one of these guys and let the goals keep coming naturally. Sacking Motta will be a bad decision for the club. Xavi won't come and play the ball himself. They will still give him money to buy players. So they should just give Motta money to recruit players.

Isn't the sign quite clear that Trent Alexander Arnold has strong indications that he will join Real Madrid? £300,000 per week is a huge amount of salary, but strangely, Trent Alexander Arnold has not yet given any certainty as to whether he will accept the offer. So isn't that an attitude that shows that he is ready to wear the Real Madrid shirt?

It is very reasonable for Liverpool to prepare for this, which is why they are now being linked with Joshua Kimmich. Even though he is not young anymore but I think he is a suitable replacement for Trent Alexander Arnold.

He's a player i so much admired cause of the great talent he has but injury didn't allow him to harness his full potential, he's a great player and can be compared to the likes of Ronaldo and Messi, if only he didn't make that move to PSG and remained at Barcelona back then i feel he would've had a more wonderful football career like Ronaldo and Messi. It would be very lovely to watch Neymar play again, i miss those skills, he's was a very big threat to defenders but i doubt if he's still got it in him, am not even sure that he'll be fit enough to feature in the world cup moreover it's a big competition and the coach won't want to risk involving a player that can't be much reliable when it comes to fitness. Al Hilal have been on the losing ends since Neymar signed for them, i don't think hes played up to 10 matches since he arrived and that's a loss to the team since they're paying heavy wages to him without benefitting in return, it would be fair enough if they cut ties with him, ít would be fair for both parties since Neymar could go back to his boyhood club and retire there while Al Hilal would be saved the cost of paying heavy wages to an injury proned player.

Even In Al Hilal Neymar made nothing Worthy for his career rather than money. How funny is that he only play just a few matches throughout the season and charge heavy salary. Injuries toes make him a shit player and that's why even Al Hilal has kicked him out. Ones upon a time Neymar was called to be the greatest player after Messi and Ronaldo but unfortunately due to injuries and the money greed make him failed from a great player and now he will go to their home town Santos with empty hands. Looking to his career he hasn't won any crucial individual trophy like golden boot, ball or any UEFA trophy but just a single trophy with Barcelona. It's his biggest mistake to move out of Barcelona with statement of  or on advice of he can't play under shadow of Lionel Messi or something like that, Now new player can take it as a lesson of preferring money over making name In book of history.

We all saw how Thiago Motta had an impressive spell at Bologna before he was appointed as Juventus manager last summer and how he's currently struggling at Juventus and that brings my question of "will Xavi Hernandez be able to improve the performance of Juventus of he's finally signed to replace Thiago Motta?" For Thiago Motta who knows  so much about the Italian Serie A to struggle at a big club like Juventus I think is a strong indication that Juventus' issues might not likely be about the coach but the players or other factors.

 Xavi Hernandez is a fantastic young manager no doubt but if I'm to advise him, I'll tell him not to sign for Juventus at this time of the season but if he trusts his managerial abilities and is confident enough that he'll deliver great results of he gets the opportunity of managing the club, then he should go and explore life in Italy.

It would certainly be great if Neymar could fully recover, considering that many people still hope he can play in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. In my opinion, there could be many reasons behind Neymar return to Santos, perhaps because Neymar wants to be closer to his family, in addition to the injury that has prevented him from playing for Al Hilal until now. So far, there has been no official news stating that the two clubs have reached an agreement, what is clear is that Neymar must be willing to take a pay cut if he does leave Al Hilal. With his physically injury prone condition, there is a possibility that Santos will be the last club in his football career.
