Most players that Eric Hag brought to the club have failed to improve in performance, despite their fat pay. The management is finding it difficult to release funds for the purchase of new players, because they have spent a lot at the end of last season, and there's nothing to show for it. If some of these players that Amorim wants to offload did not see any club to go to, it might be difficult to bring in new players.

It's because they're not good.
I remember arguing with some United fans that Antony was not good enough. He's not worth up to 50 million, talk more of a hundred, but they never believed me. All the players they bought are not good enough. I'm not saying they're bad players, but those are not the kind of players that can win you trophies.

When buying a winger there are certain things to look for. How many goals does he score, how many assists does he have, how many chances does he create, and how can he join the team in their build-up? The fact that a winger is fast and dribbles doesn't mean you will break the bank on him.
The same thing is happening with Leao currently. One club will fall victim and spend 100 million on him when he's not worth that.

What the papers say, according to the Daily mail Rashford for some unknown reason wants to continue playing for Manchester United which i dont understand Huh

Just a few weeks back the media was told that Rash wanted to leave, and any listening Manager will oblige to such requests and be ready to be left out of the starting 11 and am sure because of the offers coming he has seen that he might find himself in a country he doesn't enjoy himself which is sad to be honest.

But question is who is managing his public relations because no team likes these kind of stories especially when they come from individuals instead of the club, i too if i was his manager would want him out with immediate effect as this is some kind of indiscipline!

The situation for Rashford is still now clear and not just for us but also I don't understand if he wants to stay with Manchester United or not. We know Rashford doesn't have a good relationship with Amorin and this made Rashford think about leaving the team however it's not clear and confirmed yet and there is the chance for him to stay in his team for a longer time.

Recently this player was linked to Barcelona and they have shown interest in having Rashford for the next season but since Barcelona doesn't have a good financial situation they want to have Rashford on loan. That's why Rashford said there is no other destination for him than Barcelona and he is going to stay in Manchester United or join Barcelona, not another team.

I don't know how anyone will come with Onana argument but my believe in Onana remains 5%. Often times, there main problem was Onana, that guy literally looks like a basket with big opening, he is not even a seasonal player that you will see him do well today and do the next day but that guy is a complete flop and that's what Erik settled for, I wonder who motivated him to get that guy, that's one of Manchester United worst mare till now even in their last match.

Onana isn't the only one to blame, the defenders are bad at doing their job. I still want to see a Maguire gone for good. I don't care what amount that he is been bought, he is still in the team earning huge amount of salary but he looks like a ghost whenever he appeared in most matches. If a player is not having impact in the club, free him and gree yourself but Manchester United will rather let you stay especially that Maguire in particular.

Perez sucks. He wanted Davies for free combined with low salary. It makes sense their offers got snubbed by Davies. They wanted everything for free and cheap. I was hoping Davies to join Madrid, but it won't happen.

He is very intelligent, he saw the mistakes that Barcelona made and he doesn't want to make the same mistakes. Buying good players for a very low price and being able to get good results for Real Madrid is what a good manager should do. Look at the case of Mbappe, he managed to get Mbappe as a free agent and today we are seeing that it was a good deal because Real Madrid came out winning a lot. I hope Real Madrid continues with this good management and doesn't make the mistake of spending a lot of money on new signings.

Manchester City have officially announced the signings of Khusanov and Reis, the next announcement would be for Omar Marmoush, it is expected to come very soon, prolly tomorrow or so. I don't know if these three signings will seal City's business for January, because there is talk about their interest in Douglas Luiz and Cambiaso, both playing for Juventus; i don't think they would be able to seal either deals in this window.

This is quite a good done deal for Manchester City and I believe the signing of Khusanov and Reis would indeed have a tremendous impact on the club going forward, there's a huge anticipation about the announcement of signing Omar Marmoush to the team, whereas regarding the potential signing of Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz, It still remains an uncertain situation if at the end of the transfer window, whether both sides, Juventus and Manchester would come into agreement for both players. The Manchester City team really need to do some reinforcement to their team by ensuring they get those deals penned down.

Manchester City has realized that they need to finally begin planning their future. Both are 19 and 20 years of age and this is a finger point at the old players who have failed this season. Now it must be taken into account that these two players are very young and unless they are exceptional players like Bellingham was at that age, it is not like they can immediately take Manchester City several levels higher. They would need time I suppose. I am curious whether Guardiola will end his career at Manchester City when this contract expires or whether he has still the energy and the willpower to continue. Maybe he is jealous because Klopp lives such a relaxed life with his new position at Red Bull.

Some players must be released who do not fit Amorim's criteria so that they can recruit other players who are needed because if they retain players who do not have the same playing vision then Manchester United's performance will not develop. The midfield and attack may need to look for other players because those available do not show a match with the style of play applied by Amorim. The target that Amorim must do is finish above the top 10 of the standings and that is a slightly more difficult job if not supported by players who have good abilities.

There are too many players that Amorim needs to get rid of, but if we start from there then the back line is an important note especially the goalkeeper and defenders who have been too easy to penetrate. Several comebacks made by the opponent make Manchester United's defense need to be considered. Andre Onana is not the right goalkeeper, to be honest he is a failed purchase. Therefore Amorim besides focusing on selling Rashford, Onana needs to be included in the sales list.

I don't think Amorim will be able to win a trophy with Manchester United if he doesn't make a quick decision, because I didn't expect Manchester United to lose their game against Br. The main point is that Amorim needs to get new defense and stickers, and if they have good players, Onana's performance will show in the team. I think Amorim can't achieve any trophy with Manchester United if he didn't make quick decision because I didn't expect Manchester United will lose there game against Brighton because when they play against Southampton and do a good comeback thinking that they are cme back to there best form but unfortunately they didn't perform against Brighton well. If not for Bruno's penalty, the game should have ended 3-0. Amorim should do everything possible to buy players before the season starts so that they have more time to make decisions. It's a good decision to let Rashford go on loan because he's not in as good of shape as he was before Erik Ten Hag left, and they should do everything they can to get even in the Europa League so that they can get the chance to qualify for the UCL next season, and they're playing Rangers next, so we'll see how the game goes.

Khusanov and Reis I quite agree because the position needs regeneration and also long-term strengthening, I am sure these two potential young players will quickly adapt to the tight Premier League environment, but maybe for the recruitment of Omar Marmoush, is that the right decision taken by the player?, I am quite skeptical because Haaland's position is difficult to replace.

Man City moved quickly to cover the vulnerable holes in their squad and are expected to return to their best performance again with the many transfer plans that are currently being implemented.
The question is, where is Man Utd position now? They should have participated in the transfer market this month considering that Amorim also needs quality players.

If some of these players that Amorim wants to offload did not see any club to go to, it might be difficult to bring in new players.

Manchester United spent a huge amount of money in the off-season this summer because they thought it was a good idea to trust Ten Hag again and then after he was sacked they looked for someone to blame for allowing him to spend so much money. Of course now they need money for transfers again because Manchester United are terrible at the moment, if they need money for more transfers then why don't they sell anyone? If you just talk about it it won't change anything, they need action, but I don't see any action from Amorim.

That's right, and it's a disaster in the end because it's undeniable that Ten Hag has completely destroyed Manchester United's philosophy and made it difficult to make the transition with the new coach.

The players that Manchester United brought in in the end could not really become players who were worthy of being said to be successful because some of their expensive players now cannot even do much for the performance at the club.

Currently quite expensive legacy players such as Mount, Antony, Hojlund and even their new player Zirkzee are still unable to make a breakthrough that can make Manchester United's performance grow.
But even so, for now, Manchester United must still be able to restore the confidence of the players and one of them is to spend a lot of money again for the current overhaul so that Amorim can make a difference because honestly at this time Amorim is quite depressed with the club's poor condition and great pressure to restore performance.

Como continue to push the envelope in Italian football while in this case of the season, Italian teams have also turned their attention to Pedri's teammate, Eric Garcia. This most recent endeavor demonstrates that Como’s interest is not entirely in sidelined from Serie trail though for one season but to forge an enduring organization that blends veteran brains with burgeoning competition.

Como, Barcelona for Eric Garcia open negotiations, Calciomercato reports a first €10 million offer has been tabled. Not only club manager Cesc Fabregas has gone in person to explain Como’s project to the player in an attempt to convince the young Spaniard to move to Italy.
https://www.calciomercato.com/news/como-offerta-per-eric-garcia-del-barcellona-79600

Eric Garcia is one of the players who is quite good even seeing from his current condition he is actually quite flexible because he can play as a defensive center and defensive midfielder, it's just that the competition at Barcelona is quite tight and even for now the duo of Pau Cubarsi and Martinez and even there is Araujo who has certainly extended his contract at Barcelona making the opportunity For Eric Garcia it is very difficult to be in the squad even though he is currently still quite able to be as a coating or supersub player but again if indeed he is not able to be in the squad with conditions like this it is possible that he could leave especially for Como actually the level of competition will be much easier than his current position at Barcelona.

But on the other hand of course we can judge the quality because if Garcia's benchmark is a big competition then indeed Como is not the right place so he must consider this properly because after all now look at his condition even though he is a reserve player but I think his place is still quite comfortable at Barcelona.

palmeiras defender Vitor reis has officially joined Manchester City on a four-year deal.
after Khosanov's transfer to City, the club also officially announced the transfer of Vitor Reis minutes ago. Man city confirmed in an official statement that they have finalized the contract of Vitor Reis from brazilian club Palmeiras for a fee of 35 million euros. The 19 y o defender has signed a four and a half year contract.

Reis, a central defender, has made 22 appearances for palmeiras and has also made nine appearances for brazil's under 17s. Palmeiras had hoped to keep Reis on loan for the rest of the season but city have insisted the brazilian must be transferred this month.

"It's a dream come true," reis said after his move to city was made official . "ever since I was a kid I've always dreamed of having an opportunity like this and playing for a club as big as city. The size of Manchester City, the history and the structure of the club made me say yes straight away. when the offer came and it was from Manchester city, I knew there was nowhere else I could go."

city are also hoping to finalise the deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush before the transfer window closes.

City want to strengthen the defense, the new transfer of Vitor Reis from Palmeiras, and it seems that they are ready to let Walker go to Milan, soon they promise to tell all the details. Another transfer is Khusanov from Lens, a clear emphasis by Guardiola on strengthening the City defense.
Maybe this is also connected with Walker's desire to leave City, it will be difficult to replace such a defender fully. But during the period of decline, City had problems not only in defense, in many matches, their attack could not do anything.

-Image Edited Out-
I just saw a news that Chelsea have agreed a deal sign 18-year-old Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg but that the teenager will remain at his current club till the end of the season. I think Chelsea have signed too many players in recent times to still be signing a young defender like Sarr. They recently recalled Trevor Chalobah and also have few other top center backs including Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo Wesley Fofana and others. These are all young players who I think have the ability to help Chelsea conquer the world. What could be the club management's reason of going for another defender again? Let me read your thoughts about this move by Chelsea

The management of Chelsea under the current owner of Chelsea football club Todd Boehly is both into entertainment and another level of business with Chelsea, which is basically into buying of young players and grooming them to sell when their values must have have increased thereby targeting to make huge profits from selling these players at their pick time. Now Chelsea is filled with number of young players.

To be honest I don't see this has our top priority, we need some experience and stable defenders to guide these youngsters but still yet while some has potential some are just too disappointing that we have to give up on them like Disasi and Badiashile. I think the pressure is weighing on them they need to go try themselves in smaller teams, Chelsea can't compete with these defenders we need experienced also, if we want to compete with global teams like before.

Chelsea should make very good transfers in the defense area. As far as I can see, the biggest problem for Chelsea right now is the defense area. They don't have many problems in the attacking side, but they can give easy positions in defense. This means extra points lost for them. If Chelsea becomes like the old Chelsea, they won't lose points easily. For this reason, I think the most important position is the defense area. This is important not only for Chelsea but for all teams in the world. Just look at how Real Madrid concedes easy goals. They have problems in the defense area lately.

In fact, this shows us that Marcus Rashford is still undecided. I don't understand why he wants to continue his career with Manchester United. He had previously said that he wanted to leave the team. The manager would probably make transfers in line with this. However, Rashford's change of mind, if it is really true, will cause a change in transfer policy at Manchester United.

I read an analysis by a Napoli fan about this and their take is quite interesting[1]. They basically said that Kvaratskhelia probably wants to take matters into his own hands and avoid Osimhen's situation. His agent and Napoli's probably don't have a good relationship either so the negotiation of a new contract takes way too long to happen. In addition to that, they believe his performance dropped and he should look for a new challenge to get a chance to get back to his best form.

I think their analysis has a point, although the bigger factor is probably related to his agent and Napoli's stubbornness. Maybe this is the best choice for both parties.

[1] https://www.reddit.com/r/seriea/comments/1i1q14a/why_would_kvaratskhelia_want_to_leave_napoli/

It means the faster Kvarat leaves from napoli, the better for him. It's good to see finally he left Napoli, and join in PSG. Although i saw it as a decline for his career to play in farmer league, he's gonna play in UCL regularly.

The decision to part ways with Napoli is the best one consider he's getting upset to stay since last season, and wanted to leave. It happens now.

I know some Napoli fans really disrespectful toward his decision, but he helped his former club to win scudetto after so many decades.

The departure of Kvaratskhelia has a positive effect on Napoli and PSG, for Napoli at least they currently have a large number of profits from his sale, while in terms of club performance of course his loss will have a significant impact, while for PSG, his arrival can be a good addition in strengthening the squad, especially their attacking line, but we cannot deny that his move to PSG has made his career decline, It is true that he plays at a rich club with a big salary and the guarantee of getting a domestic trophy will always be open to him, but for the UCL trophy it seems that it will be difficult for him to get even though they are always guaranteed to qualify for the UCL, PSG poor mentality in the UCL allows Kvaratskhelia can not to expect much to win the UCL trophy with his new team.

As far as I know Alphonso Davies failed to go to Real Madrid because of Bayern Munich tempting offer, so he chose to extend his contract. But with this decision Real Madrid will leave him and there will be no more offers in the future. Now what steps will Madrid take to hunt for new players as they need to fill the back line. TAA is also rumored to be fading or will Madrid force it with the existing squad?

Perez sucks. He wanted Davies for free combined with low salary. It makes sense their offers got snubbed by Davies. They wanted everything for free and cheap. I was hoping Davies to join Madrid, but it won't happen.

it's also a stupid decision if they let TAA snubbed their offers. They really need a new RB, and TAA is the best answer for them.

I will really disappointment if they let two best wing backs snub their hand.
