Selling Gavi and spending money on the younger players in useless in Barcelona because Gavi is a young player and they can even invest in this player because of the performance he has in Barcelona, but the problems are mostly because of the salary he gets and that's why there is the possibility for Gavi to decrease his salary or be sold by Barcelona to have a better financial situation.

Bayern Munich would be back for Fulhams Palhinha he won't be part of the list of the players Newcastle would chase. If I'm guessing right, the player is also waiting for Bayern Munich to bud for him during January Transfer Window.
Manchester United won't let go of Mc Tominay from Manchester United until the end of the season. Onana? I don't even consider him.
Just like you said Philips would fit in well, with Leeds United he was also a great player he would get more minutes too against Newcastle United.

I've already seen news saying options to leave would be considered during the January Transfer Window... Right time to see him leave innit?!

I am now sure that the coach needs to be changed and someone like Mourinho should take over. The individual players are strong and the coach has to build a good team from these individual players. Not every coach can do something like that and if the club doesn't want to end the season without qualifying for a European competition, they should take action quickly.

It is true that Sandro Tonali can't play until August 2024 due to suspension in any football competition. It is a big lose for Newcastle, Sandro Tonali has a big role in improving the midfield of Newcastle this season. Guimarães-Tonali-Longstaff is the main midfielders of Newcastle, they are irreplaceable. If Tonali can't play a long time, Newcastle must sign a new player who has the same level as Tonali. I agree that Kalvin Phillips is the best option to replace the position left by Tonali. He rarely played in Man City, he also has a cheap price, and he has a good quality as well. He is a perfect option, I'm sure Man City will consider to sell him because Man City has some alternatives for the midfielder position. They have Nunes and Kovacic in their squad. At least, Newcastle can offer the loan option if Man City doesn't want to sell him now.

Gavi, this 19 year old young player has gone a long way in his football career at his age. Not only does he play at club level, he also plays for the Spanish national team. He has played in various competitions, both club and international events with the Spanish national team. IMO, this young player is too forced to always play in various events. In fact, he is a young talent who has talent and can develop much better. Regarding the rumors circulating, I actually don't follow developments. So naturally there was doubt in my mind, if this rumor was just gossip.
I don't think Barcelona will let go of their young player, especially if he is part of Bacelona's future progress. So, I don't know if this news is true or not. because, I really don't follow every development. If only it were true, we would even know how much this young player's release clause would cost.

The question is, will Barcelona really let him go with a cheap transfer, I don't think so.
As for Chelsea, let's flashback, previously Nagelsmann was predicted to become Chelsea coach to replace Potter. Apart from that, Luis Enrique is also a strong candidate. but in fact, these two coaches resigned, aka refused to coach Chelsea. which means, there is no agreement between Todd and the two coaches. After that, Pochettino became the only coach promoted by Todd Boehly. with the scenario, he is the only one who is willing to follow what the big Chelsea boss wants. As a result, as we see now with Chelsea's performance. although in fact I often say that Chelsea has several talented young players. However, it seems that Poche did not learn from his experience. he always plays players who cannot be relied on. especially the center forward who is unable to fulfill the criteria of being a goal scoring machine. However, that doesn't mean Chelsea has no hope, perhaps with the recovery of injured players, Poche has more options and can be creative with the system he wants.

After watching the recent Barcelona and Real Madrid game, it is clear that Real has better "stars" but Barcelona looked like a better overall team. While Real relies on star players pulling rabbit out of hat, which Jude did once again amazingly, Barcelona relies on each player equally, and that's their difference.

Would selling Gavi and using that money to get younger could work?

I would say it wouldn't be impossible, I mean it could definitely benefit them if they know what they are doing, like if they already know what they will spend that money on, but if not and they are just doing it for getting money sake, that would not be smart.

I would also highly suggest not selling any of the young core 4 players, those players should stay and they should look to sell some other players if they can. Barcelona is getting younger with their debt as well, it is hard to get younger with such a huge debt, so they should not sell young star players at this moment.

Maybe many of us have heard about the news that Sandro Tonali is banned from playing for the next 10 months and currently Newcastle also feels like they have lost an important midfielder in their team. Now the names of new midfielders have emerged who are ready to fill the position left by Sandro Tonali and there are Phillips, McTominay, Onana and Palhinha. In my opinion, currently the right midfielder to fill Sandro Tonali's place is Phillips from Manchester City, apart from his cost which is quite cheap compared to the others, his performance is still good even though he is rarely played by Manchester City. I think that can at least fill the hole left by Sandro Tonali and it remains to be seen how they can offer him to Manchester City in January. In your opinion, who is the right person to replace Sandro Tonali at Newcastle?

And they have guts to call that flop the new Didier Drogba for Chelsea? They're all joking. I have said it a million times now, they should make sure Victor Oshime is signed for Chelsea. He fits right in.
When the likes of Nkuku and Mudryk are fir, do you think they'll want to link up with a flop? Nicholas Jackson would be best seen from.the wing. I don't think he a good number nine for Chelsea.

They need to change the way they buy under aged players for Chelsea, this has not being the way they did all these years. Todd Boehly has got things to change. Else, there will be trouble.

Have to agree with you, Pochettino fails to see the potential in every player, he prefers young players with little experience and creates a bad dream squad. Finally, Chelsea continued to experience unstable conditions for ten weeks, their latest defeat at home to Brentford further cornered their position and put them under great pressure again, and of course left many questions regarding their transfer moves last summer. I think releasing Lukaku is the biggest mistake that should be regretted, and replacing him with Jackson looks like a fraudulent investment. Another thing is that Nkunku has not yet made his debut, so it is fitting that most of Chelsea defeats this season should be borne by the Argentinian coach.

With Roma, Lukaku has appeared impressive in helping Jose Mourinho squad, so far he has scored 8 goals in all competitions he has participated in. The Blues seem to be facing their worst period under Pochettino leadership, if last season they managed to finish in 12th place in the EPL standings, this season is unlikely to be much different, the January transfer window is the right option if you want to build a younger squad than the current one.

  In my opinion i don't think getting a team filled with young talents is the problem but getting the ones that doesn't suit the club is the problem, why on earth would they sign Jackson as their striker a player who wasn't a 1st starter from Villareal  to come top 9 for Chelsea he's not even strong or physically fit to be Chelsea's top 9, left for me they shouldn't had loaned Lukaku to Roma they would've allowed him stay for this season and sell or loan him out next transfer window when they get a proper striker.

 Chelsea need to change their idea of recruiting younger players with little experience when they've not got a very experienced coach with a winning mentality that could train those players to be very tough and difficult to play against they don't even communicate well amongst themselves on the pitch.

I dislike a person that talk too much without action. It fine since he didn't signed these players but he sold more than 4 players that I can remember if not more, since he already access their performance, why not discard and be done for once? But instead, he just jabbing and give uncalled excuses here and there. Instead of him to be even focus on what the teams are currently doing and improve it, he is already eyeing the January transfer window that is 2 month away, very incompetent manager I must say.


They are more like on and off teams. I never expected of them to give Arsenal some tutorials and lessons even when they slept off and allow them to equalized, they did well and ovation deserve for that fight but given up on Brentford is so cold, they didn't just conceded one which one can say they made a mistake, they conceded 2 goals. If they like, they should spend all tbe money for the transfer in their portfolio, you will see that Pochettino is the main problem in that club, it's better Tohd Boehly sell him together with some players and bring in new man for the job.

I would like to blame chelsea if this club will continue to betting on the young players. This club shall have stopped its bad habit of buying young players instead of experienced players. Look at how some young players like jackson was only contributing so small.
It's so useless to buy another young player again while there has been many proofs if young players are not ready to competing in the premier league. The club needs to have experienced striker, not kids that being forced to play in a serious competition like EPL.

EPL was not the same like la liga which was only a few clubs that were dominating the league. EPL has so many clubs that can compete each other. Look at how felix was struggling playing in the chelsea. We can also take ansu fati too.
These guys feel EPL was far difficult compared with la liga. No guarantee buying young players will be giving good output.
This guy has been spending so much money only to gambling with the age of players.

In as much as Real Madrid has the financial capacity to sign any player of their choice to the club, I don't the the club's president Fiorentino Perez would want to sign two world class strikers like Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to the same club. Mbappe as we know has been on the club's transfer radar for quite some time now as the club is seriously trying to secure the services of the Frenchman by next summer.
Real Madrid after losing their former striker Karim Benzema has not signed a known world class striker to replace him but the reports in the media is that Mbappe is the preferred man to replace their former captain

If these rumors can come true then Real Madrid will have a dream team in the form of Los Galagticos volume three, in terms of finances I don't doubt them to do it. But after seeing Mappe fail to be recruited last season, I am a little pessimistic about the transfer. On the other hand, it will change La Liga like Ligue 1, in the sense that Madrid's strength will be difficult for rivals Barcelona or other teams to match at domestic level and even at European level. Not only fans, you can be sure that all coaches will have the desire to train a club that has a squad depth like that.

PSG and Man City will try everything to get their players to choose to stay at the club, we have seen this in the Mbappe case. The only attraction that Madrid has is the guarantee of winning, and ensuring that its star players are included in every nomination for best player. In terms of finances, I think what Madrid can provide, PSG and Man City can also do.

Young players are an asset to a club and I'm a firm believer that a club should have talented young players. But now I agree that they must also have good management to develop those young players and now Chelsea are in a situation where they are difficult to step up, and it is feared that it will be a stumbling block for the player himself. It's a pity if a talented young plyer (whoever it is) should not be able to develop because the club's situation is not good. That would be a risk for the player's own future.

I can imagine how crazy real madrid if this news will become a reality. I just try to mention a nwes that may also make anyone feel distrust it but can't confirm whether this news was true or not. It sounds non sense to me but it's still possible to happen.

https://www.90min.com/posts/football-transfer-rumours-real-madrid-mbappe-haaland-plan-sancho-asking-price-29-10-23

It will be so crazy if we will able to see haaland to be in the same club with mbappe. I think that real madrid would be putting mbappe to play as a winger then try to trigger the clause realease of haaland from manchester city.
This obviously a sense story and it may happen when mbappe would be leaving from PSG as a free agent then join in real madrid as a new winger. Mbappe may also play as a right winger.

Bellingham is still playing as attacking midfielder while haaland will become a striker of real madrid and vini on the left winger. This will become crazy team. I hope that news will be reality.

Toni Kroos has won it all, he needs that retirement. He was amongst the set of players that won the FIFA World Cup Competition 2014 against Argentina. Mario Gotze made sure his nation did win.
He's done everything that needs to be done for Real Madrid, don't expect too much of/ from Toni. Last season against Manchester City during semi finals, I watched him closely and saw him slack down. He is no longer the Kroos we know. Age has come and I do think, it's okay if he gets reduced game time for Real Madrid.

I doubt he is upset, he has been linked to Manchester City, and if that's correct, it'll be a good reunion with Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola knows how to work with his strength. It's time he leaves Real Madrid, he's won it all.

Im willing to see how much money is going to be wasted by chelsea for upcoming winter transfer window. I meant chelsea has been linked to the some candidates like osimhen, ivan tooney or even guirassy but im not sure which player that will be chosen by chelsea to be the next target by the club.
This club was really happy in wasting so much money for nothing. I do believe there will be no change to happen even when chelsea bought so many players from the other clubs. The key was only on the coach.
Leverkusen played so badly but the new coach like xabi was changing the club a lot. Chelsea shall have targeted xabi alonso instead of buying more players. This is a very stupid idea from the management.

I agree with you and this makes more sense because the current situation Chelsea has nothing to be proud of, such as the coach himself is not too experienced to develop the talents of young players, whereas young players will become even more talented if they get the right club with a great coach and support. from high quality players to continue to help improve the talent of young players.
So I will not agree if Gavi goes to Chelsea because this will really affect the future of this player's career and Chelsea also has no interest in getting young players or more precisely, Chelsea needs instant players who are already experienced to be able to immediately improve the quality of the club's performance.

Well I think the best thing for Kroos to do is leave the club to where he'll get playing time, currently there's been rumours that Manchester City's  coach Pep admires him and would want to bring him to his team and if the rumours are true it's not a bad idea cause City is a very big club as well, well I don't blame Ancelotti for any decisions he takes concerning most of the senior players in Realmadrid, though they're still capable of playing but they're old and might need to be offloaded to create chance for younger generations to get playing time, that's why you'll see Modric coming from the bench mostly in the 2nd half.

 Also its a good decision for the coach to be rotating both kross and Modric, it's obvious that their time is up at Realmadrid but Ancelotti is just giving them the grace of this season and hence the rotation so they'll get playing time and not sit at the bench always, well I agree with you cause it was the experience of Modric that helped Bellingham to score his 2nd goal to seal the victory again Barcelona yesterday.
