Joselu was just a temporal striker who was signed as a replacement for Karim Benzema before the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. He has not scored many Champions League goals (5 goals) but this brace yesterday will be remembered just like Fernando Torres's winning goal against Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semifinal. Manuel Neuer would have to take the main blame for the first goal.
The UEFA Champions League comes with spirit and we understand what it means for these players to catch up with big winnings. It was Joselu night to grabbed all accolades, a brave victory for the player and the club. Joselu was simply a backup striker that usually come on from the bench to feature for Real Madrid but I think after stunning brace against Bayern Munich which sealed the grand UCL final at Wembley for Real Madrid, he's considered a key player and Carlo Ancelotti simply understands the scenario of the player and how to used them.

In fact, one of the players who shined the least this year was Joselu. It was criticized very often. He became a hero by scoring 2 goals in the UCL semi-final and I think he will never forget this match in his life. Unforgettable memories are accumulating for Joselu, but this will happen at a time when he has moved away from football due to his age. He plays for 1-2 more years and retires. If they win the UCL with Real Madrid, I think one of their biggest dreams will come true.
Joselu is underrated player because before playing at Real Madrid Joselu was spend his career to playing at small teams in Spain and indeed everybody was never thought why Ancelotti was decide to loan him from Espanyol but during his loan duration Joselu performance is very impressive with scores 17 total in all competitions and yesterday is very important for Joselu because he has made brace and help Real Madrid to overcomes Bayern Munich and bringing this team to advances to the final match of Champion LeagueIndeed some of people has starting to speculate about his future and apparently Manchester United is really serious want to bought him from Espanyol and it says Manchester United still comunicate with Joselu agent about this transfer and before he accept the offer from Manchester United it says Joselu will give his priority to Real Madrid and if Real Madrid has decide will not permanent his status then Joselu will thinking to moved to Manchester United however since Ten Hag era Manchester United has a problem with their front lines because they have no good players for centre striker and if this rumour is true probably Joselu is the right player for that position

We’re receiving crazy bids for players like Lamine Yamal around €200m and we’re rejecting, of course”.
We trust Lamine and we don’t need to sell.

This is definitely a very bold statement in my opinion. We all know that a player is always going to look for a better future for himself. And I don't know how this club can have such confidence on the players. Because at the end of the day, if a player wants to leave, he is going to end the club most probably is not going to be able to do anything about that. And judging by the financial situation, probably it is not a very bad idea to sell a player for whom they are getting offered 200 million. But again, how would they find a player like him again? And even if they do, will he be able to perform as well as him?

Manchester United are poised to use their INEOS links to snap up Simone Pafundi, according to Italian media.

He is only 18 years old and if he had waited, he probably could have got a great offer from other big clubs. But maybe I am just a little paranoid. Maybe it is going to get better for Manchester United after they bring in the next coach. And I understand that Ten Hag does give good importance to the young prospects of the club. But I don’t think that is enough for him to be a coach of Manchester United. To be the coach of a club like Manchester United, you also have good results as well.

Anyway, I heard the news that Joselu will get a contract extension for another season and it's all thanks to his good performance in the champions league semifinals last night. He has been the decisive winner for Los Blancos heading into the final against Dortmund. I think it is very appropriate if Joselu gets this offer considering that his love for Real Madrid is very big and he is ready to be needed at any time if the team is in a deadlock.Joselu can also be a back-up striker for Kylian Mbappe next season and that will make things safe if sometimes Kylian Mbappe is not in good form. So I hope this news is true and we will see Real Madrid with even squad depth in defending the La Liga title later.
So far Manchester United fans continues to ask what can be done by the management to save Manchester United, but instead the management increasingly makes fans angry and also angry over the management decision to sign Ishowspeed rather than find other solutions that can lift Manchester United's performance later, in recent weeks Ten Hag future continues to be speculated and even many media have begun to link Manchester United with several top coaching candidates to replace Ten Hag and Zidane is one of them.
Zidane interest in coaching Manchester United has been exposed in some media and many Red Devils fans have positively welcomed Zidane desire to coach Manchester United next season, but strangely when many big teams want Zidane to be their coach, it is Manchester United who are expected by Zidane to be apathetic and uncaring so they prefer to keep Ten Hag as coach of the Red Devils and of course it makes Manchester United fans The more disappointed, it seems that fans are starting to feel that the new owner of Manchester United is not much different from the old owner, who does not have the seriousness to be able to rebuild Manchester United into a successful club like in the past.

I will advice you one last time and I expect you to let it sink in. Erik Ten Hag is not the source of Manchester United issues, you can go back to Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho David Moyes, Ole Gunner Solskjaer and Ralf Ragnick. All these coaches wanted players and the club management said no. And it was same with Erik Ten Hag, he wanted players and they said no, so they had to bring up back up plans to substitute for what he wanted.
Erik Ten Hag had some if his decisions wrong during some huge games this season I agree but you cannot forget that he has been slapped with so much injury crises that it will be difficult to win games with this available players. Bayern Munich things he is a good coach and that the environment of Manchester United is not good enough for him. If they can think this way about him then believe me ,it's completely true.
Zidane is not that coach to handle youngins, he is better with already made clubs like the current Manchester City squad and Real Madrid.
I have finally come up with a suitable replacement for Erik Ten Hag if they demand to part ways with him. Hansi Flick the former Bayern Munich treble winning coach is the main man to land that job.
Recently what has been happening with Manchester United is definitely not making a lot of sense to a lot of people including me. Why on earth are they not going to contact Zidane when he has stated that he is interested in managing Manchester United?
They are more interested in a Collab with IShowSpeed instead of fixing the problems that they have. And for some reason, I still think that they are not going to actually get a good coach. They are probably going to get someone who will bring results which is a little better compared to what they are doing right now and they will say that it is an improvement.

Girona this season is able to perform quite impressively with their ability to compete with the big La Liga teams at the moment, Girona ability to compete at the top level of La Liga is certainly a factor of the good players they currently have, especially Aleix Garcia who is able to lead the team while rallying the Girona defense line solidly enough so it is not surprising that he is one of the hot assets that many teams are fighting for today, Leverkusen, Milan, Aston Villa and Barcelona at the moment, reportedly Aleix Garcia has a release clause that reaches 20 million euros, so I think with a small release fee of course it is not difficult for the team to be able to sign him from Girona in the summer.
Girona had a good season I agreed with that. but if I should be the one to take this decision, Aleix would have continue playing for them, they did not suppose to sell Aleix now, because how he lift up the club this season. though is not the only one but is one of their main player this season, so I think it will be better if he continue playing for them for next season because I don't think if Aleix leave the squad they will be bale to do the same thing as this season, next season. so I think they should keep the player and continue using him because he is very good player since they are the one that made him who he is today, I think they should at least just rearrange the squad next season so they can perform better next season.
Seriously I will disagree with you on this, Ancelloti definitely needs a natural striker and we have seen how he gets those goals when the striker is there. Yesterday he had Vinicius on the striking role and you will definitely tell me that Vinicius was wasted there in the first half he couldn’t come out to play but when he switched roles In the second half Bayern Munich were left in trouble due to his mesmerizing runs. When Ancelloti had Benzema they won games through him but this season they were relying on a midfielder Bellingham to help win the games we all know that goals from midfielders easily dry off and if you check well he doesn’t score that much again.
Players can be converted to play their unnatural roles. But it will be ideal to place players in their natural positions. Vinicius Junior is always potent when he is playing from the flank and I think he should dwell in that position. Real Madrid might have achieved some level of success this season but they would win games at ease if they have a natural striker. I am in the group who believe that a natural striker needs to be added to the team to make them more potent in the attack.
The goals scored yesterday by Joselu we’re definitely striker instincts goals, normal players wouldn’t poach on the goal like that but Joselu isn’t reliable like that due to his age so personally I think this magnificent madrid team will definitely do well with a proper striker

I agree. These players would be much better choices. They are still young as well so it would fit a long term plan.
They are better choices than joselu as they have also experienced strikers in EPL, but it raises some questions regarding them and united. 1. Will united pay 100 million for toney? brentford has stated that if that's gonna be his release clause to leave from the club.
2. Will newcastle sell isaak when he is performing brilliantly this season?
Or they will go for an experienced quality striker but Joselu should never be an option. 
Maybe, the management has distinct consideration regarding it. I meant the management may be seeing something special owned by joselu.
We may be seeing him as an average striker in la liga but united's management may be having a different perspective about him. 
Joselu had a very beautiful season with Real Madrid, initially he was doubted about being able to make a contribution to Real Madrid because he was considered to be no longer productive in his age, but he was the hero of Real Madrid's victory several times, including his two goals against Bayern Munich which took Real Madrid to the UCL final. He experienced very rapid development during his loan period with Real Madrid, it is natural in my opinion that Manchester United wanted to bring him in because his performance was increasing. Manchester United chances of getting him are very big because it is almost certain that Real Madrid will not use his services again if they succeed in bringing in Mbappe, he can be used as an alternative in the front line which is having difficulty finding sharpness.
Joselu who is currently 34 years old and joined Real Madrid on loan from the Espanyol have total 46 appearances with 17 goals in front of his name is looking not good for many peoples but still this is good season for him at this level because he has done good performance in last game against Bayern Munich which change the match momentum for them, and now they are heading for another final and double for the season.He is well experienced player which can do good performance in any game and with these things can take good change as well with most chances Real Madrid is not going to extend his contract or going to use his services in next season as they are also heading for the Kylian Mbappé which is one of the best in world.
It is surprising if Man United really wants to sign Joselu. Although Joselu is an experienced striker, he is still an average striker. I think it is because Joselu has a cheap market price, so Man United doesn't need to pay a lot of money for him. Moreover, the chance to sign Joselu is high because Real Madrid will sign a new striker in the next season. With the tactics of Ancelotti that doesn't many many strikers, Joselu is probably not needed to stay in Real Madrid squad anymore.
Joselu is not a player that can fit into the Real Madrid’s current squad now, they’re going to leave him soon and he’ll have to look for another team or go back to his team he was loaned from. If Manchester United are going for him, it is a good one for him because he was chosen base on his great performance for his club this season. His market value is still low, Manchester United can have him if they wish and he won’t need to think twice before joining them. Manchester United are in need of a striker, he can easily fill that spot and have more playing time with the club.
I was amazed by Joselu's performance, even though he was underestimated as a main player, he still made a good contribution to Real Madrid. He was very useful when the club needed his help. I think with Joselu's good performance there will be top clubs interested in recruiting him even though he is already old turning 34 years old.
Ancelotti actually doesn't really need a pure striker, this coach has experimented with making Vinicius jr and Rudrygo play important roles in the front line and they are also the players that Real Madrid has relied on the most so far, Anceloti rarely uses Joselu's role as the main player in the line in the future because Ancelotti was doubtful about his abilities, but in fact Joselu's performance last night was able to dispel Real Madrid's concerns that they would almost fail to qualify for the UCL final if Joselu was not there, who was smart enough to take advantage of Manuel Neuer's negligence.

Following Ramsdale's relegation down the pecking order in the goalkeeping department to first-choice David Raya, the English shot-stopper is set to depart the Emirates in search of regular playing time, with Newcastle United being considered the frontrunner to secure his services. According to Standard, Arsenal have already initiated a search for a replacement, with Szczesny emerging as a potential candidate.
https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-wojciech-szczesny-juventus-aaron-ramsdale/bltc822ec64dd9b6335#cs2bf64b82a63f2df5I never expected him to return to Arsenal but it will happen soon as arsenal has targeted him to be a secondary goal keeper. Ramsdale appears to have decided to leave the club at the end of the season after Raya replaced him as Arsenal's primary goalkeeper and he can't always sit and see without even getting a chance to play in the main squad. He cannot always sit on the bench. This forces him to leave the arsenal and newcastle probably his new home soon. Newcastle has shown its interest to recruit him as a goal keeper.
This will be his best decision after some interest in recruiting him from Arsenal. It really surprised me when I saw the title stating that Czesny might be returning to the Arsenal soon caused by i have been aware about how good his performance as arsenal's goal keeper in the past.
I know how experienced he was when he was still a member of the arsenal. It will be great to have him as Arsenal's secondary goalkeeper. He continues to perform admirably for Juventus. I believe Czesny will be delighted to play again in the Premier League.
Arsenal is searching for Ramsdale's replacement. Czesny may be a better alternative to him because he is also an experienced goalkeeper.
Ten Hag decided to make Manchester United a young team in order to lay the foundation for future generations, it worked in Ajax, but his idea failed in the Premier League. Perhaps Casemiro can be considered an experienced player, but it seems to me that he did not integrate well into the team, and his presence does not endow the players with any experience, moreover, Casemiro is probably the record holder in the team for cards (I am exaggerating). Perhaps Ronaldo could have become the one with experience, but he decided to leave the team and perhaps he was not mistaken.
The management that Erik Ten Hag built with Manchester United can be said to have failed. The players he threw away actually performed well with other teams, and conversely the players he retained did not appear impressive. By seeing that, I concluded that there was something wrong with Erik Ten Hag in managing the squad he had.I don't know why, but not once or twice he had a problem with a player, he immediately sold him, that's childish in my opinion. He prefers players who do what he wants. Indeed, that might be a good thing, but in my opinion it is also unhealthy too, because most likely he will do according to his own wishes, not based on the needs of the team. If Manchester United have a coach with an attitude like that then they are in big trouble in my opinion. Now I don't see Manchester United firing Erik Ten Hag, either they won't do it or they will appoint a new coach when the competition is over.
Girona this season is able to perform quite impressively with their ability to compete with the big La Liga teams at the moment, Girona ability to compete at the top level of La Liga is certainly a factor of the good players they currently have, especially Aleix Garcia who is able to lead the team while rallying the Girona defense line solidly enough so it is not surprising that he is one of the hot assets that many teams are fighting for today, Leverkusen, Milan, Aston Villa and Barcelona at the moment, reportedly Aleix Garcia has a release clause that reaches 20 million euros, so I think with a small release fee of course it is not difficult for the team to be able to sign him from Girona in the summer.
But the problem now is Barcelona ability to buy him, indeed the release clause owned by Aleix Garcia is not too big, but for Barcelona who have financial problems of course they have to think again to sign him, besides that I think it is difficult for Barcelona to get him because maybe Aleix Garcia will prefer to play outside Spain if later there are other teams who want to buy him, After all, playing outside Spain is an effective step to honour Girona who have made a big name for themselves.
Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first.
I'd hoped more that maybe there'll be a difference on the leader in the La Liga this season considering how dedicated Girona team generally were set towards making a remarkable change. Madrid for sure didn't make it so easy for them and so let's see how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.
Oh come ooooon! I hope that United goes to relegation at this point, they have seen a whole year of Real Madrid preferring to not even play with any strikers, leave the striker position wide open, and still not prefer Joselu over no players? I mean Joselu is so bad that I wouldn't get him to any team that is trying to go for European competitions in any of the five big leagues.
At this point, I think that the best thing he could do would be just going to some Saudi team or MLS team, or find some terrible European league and be striker of a good team there, because he has no place at a club like United. Plus they already have Hojlund, why the hell would they need a striker like him? Obviously there is definitely something wrong going on within the team for sure.

Actually, A big problem with Manchester United is that they are concentrating too much on PR and not concentrating enough on the actual performance of the club. If you are unable to perform well in the field, you are going to become irrelevant eventually. Maybe they think that any kind of popularity is good popularity. I also believe that they are thinking negative popularity is also good. But they have forgotten that if a kid wants to buy a Manchester United shirt, he's not going to do that out of love for Manchester United. He's going to do that because of his love for Cristiano Ronaldo. There is a chance that ishowspeed is going to boost the sales of Manchester United and also bring in some young fans. But that is not going to be great in the long term.
Actually imagine if Manchester United actually gets relegated, what’s going to happen?
https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1787931368258719826
Really? I thought the number one priority of the club was actually to get rid of the coach right now
. Because in the end before starting to focus on players they should think about how the current coach is performing and I think one of the problems apart from the player's performance this season is Ten Hag's performance is also questionable so before starting with players it would be better to prioritize the current coach rather than players
The rumor that is currently busy is about the coach exchange scheme between Bayern and Manchester United where for now it is rumored that Bayern wants Ten Hag as the next successor for Bayern next season and there is some news about Sir Jim Ratcliffe who has a close relationship with Tuchel at this time.
But indeed this is only a growing rumor and there is still no further certainty about this, it's just that if this really happens whether in the end this can make a difference because in the end Tuchel is also for now a little losing control of his coaching methods, especially the London blue public will certainly respond to this quite strongly it seems considering Tuchel's previous relationship at Chelsea.
