That was quite a good choice and I think the MLS is the far better place for professional football players to find their peace, earn some good money in a not so competitive league and have an environment with high life quality. I am sure that Giroud had offers from the Saudi Professional League, but if someone really wants to combine memories and great experiences with professional football in a place where it is still enjoyable, the MLS is the place to go I think.

Sure, if it is all about the money, I think no clubs from any league can seriously compete with Saudi Arabia. But there are still players who are thinking twice about their next step and whether they really want to spend a few years in Saudi Arabia. Finding a nice place to live in or around LA, I think it could get worse. I know that LA is not the nicest place in the world in the eyes of some people, but the possibilities someone has going from there are definitely different than living in Saudi Arabia.

Until now it seems that Liverpool's search to get a replacement for Klopp has not stopped, after previously Alonso was linked with Liverpool but then there was Roberto De Zerbi's name that appeared, not until there even Liverpool reportedly only one step away from getting Amorim from Sporting Lisbon but apparently now began to appear new names that are speculated to coach Liverpool next season, it seems that Liverpool is currently struggling to get a new coach candidate Which is really in line with their expectations and of course the desire of the prospective coach to want to coach Liverpool, because in recent weeks we continue to see some names start to appear as speculation.

When you mention arne slot, honestly I have to open a goggle to find out who he really is, because so far I am not familiar with the coach named arne slot but after seeing his profile maybe not only I don't know about him but I'm sure we here only know him a few because he coaching Feyenoord in the eredivisie,  After seeing his profile of course I was quite surprised, because indeed he is a talented coach and even he managed to achieve many achievements during coaching, besides that he has a game scheme that is almost similar to Klopp so far at Liverpool so I think he will be very suitable to replace Klopp next season.

Having Lloris there is a big advantage for Giroud because he knows the team and the city. I don't think it will feel strange either. There will be neither an English problem nor a culture problem. If he went to Saudi Arabia, maybe he would have problems because of these, but these problems will not automatically occur in the USA. It will be a different excitement for Giroud.

Finally, Olivier Giroud ended his career with European teams after accepting LAFC as MLS League for next season due his contract expiry with AC Milan, in LAFC Olivier Giroud will play with his teams mate on national team Hugo Lloris. Actually is habit transfer for players after leaving the European teams their destination club for playing is MLS League, Olivier Giroud still not oldest because he was 37 years old and currently perform well with AC Milan by scoring 13 goals of 30 matches in domestic league.
Its very good signing by LAFC team and has chance to make team can get more attention in MLS League competition, lets see with any potential for Olivier Giroud how many goals scoring on the first season such as MLS League not really competitive with European competition.

We have different speculations but Giroud will always been the most important person in his own world of football. It happens that he's not relenting but more focused to accomplish more goals for himself. Olivier Giroud is an important candidate for the club's he featured for during his prime in English clubs and Italy. Giroud have made complete accomplishments in football, winning major titles with clubs and also an important player during the winning of the Russia 2018 world cup.

No issues with Casemiro and Rapheal Varane leaving well understood, bit you see the name Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire? They're not good for enough for this club.
Football has evolved and Manchester United still wants to settle down with a fat, clumsy and lazy defender who has no speed. I will borrow and bet even sof I don't have, Harry Maguire can never make it to Pep Guardiola's team. He is fat, lazy and has no pace in this modern football when you don't need a player like him. He should be axed.

For Rashford, We all know how and what the past managers before Erik Ten Hag has said, He has been horrible, makes no runs when midfielder's are approaching with the ball ( I don't know if he wants to be a defender now ) and also makes too many touch with the ball, this is a player I will never support even if he leaves for another club.

These players without quality needs to leave before Erik Ten Hag, they're just repeating the same cycle of manager sack, knowing quite well that these players are the problem.

Throughout his career in Europe he was at a club that gave him prestigious titles whether in the EPL, League 1, Italian League, and also became an important player in his own country and won the world cup, so overall he has experienced quite important titles so It is possible that he is no longer curious about the title and will start a new journey in a different league. It is possible that he will have to adapt to a league that is different from the European league. At the end of his career, it turns out that he decided to follow Lionel Messi to MLS and not follow Ronaldo in The SPL is that these two leagues are very different and any decision is in the hands of the players, both leagues both provide fantastic salaries.

This decision has been made for Giroud's future when he will soon retire and I read from other people's replies here that Giroud signed a contract until 2025 and that means he will end his contract in MLS when he is 39/40 years old and means he will probably decide to retired after competing in MLS.
Giroud is one of the players famous for his greatness and the history he provided while playing for all the clubs he has played for and will always be remembered and it is sad to see this player have to go to MLS, but this decision was a wise decision for himself.

He did well for the French national team in the last World Cup. His Milan career wasn't bad either. He scored 13 goals in 30 league games this season. I think Los Angeles FC made a good signing. MLS will be an easy league for Olivier Giroud. Also, his countryman Hugo Lloris is there. Hugo Lloris will make it easier for him to adapt to the team. Olivier Giroud is not a young player, he is 37 years old, but I am sure he will bring a lot to Los Angeles FC with his experience. I think transfers like this have an important strategic value.

It's good for Barcelona, but how about De Jong? Is he interested in leaving the club to take on a new challenge in another club?I don't think so. Even though the new offer came from a big club but it does not guarantee that De Jong will accept it caused by he may be doing the opposite thing like snubs it. I recall last season's drama in which Barcelona offered him to another club but he refused, even de jong was stating that he would never leave Barcelona until the end of his contract. There is also an interesting fact that came from the Manchester united said club has agreed to buy him from barcelona. Barcelona was not only offering de Jong to Bayern, but also to Manchester United. We know that MU has always been connected to him even since last seasons. Barcelona really needs to remove him from the club in order to add the new player to strengthen the club.
Things are not easy for de Jong, given that Barcelona may be in trouble again, and de Jong will be repeating last season's problem by refusing Barcelona's offer to leave the club and forcing himself to stay in Catalan.


It's not even a mistake. Barcelona has so many midfielders. Do you think club needs to keep all of em?



Xavi has urges laporta to get some money to buy the new player. That's the only chance owned by laporta to keep xavi stay in the club.

Tuchel did a really good job in his first season with Chelsea as he won the Champions League title. It was a really tough work to do with that kind of a game plan but Chelsea made it. As he has good memories with a Premier League team maybe he might do a good job with Manchester United as well who knows. He isn't a bad manager at all. 

If Erik ten Hag is given another chance then he should be given the freedom to build a better squad for next season. Because they are desperately in need of adding better players and sending the worst ones. Fernandes shouldn't be sold, it doesn't make sense. Rashford also shouldn't as he isn't a bad player actually. Maguire should definitely be leaving immediately or shouldn't be given any chance.

In my personal opinion, it is not going to be a very good decision for Barcelona. Because even though I understand that they need a lot of money right now, I do not think they will actually be able to replace the players if they actually sell them. Let's think about this, Barcelona does sell them right now, which are the players that are of the same level as them who are going to be interested in joining Barcelona at this moment?

I don’t think there are many players like that. And even if there is, those players will also be targeted by other big clubs. And we all know from that point on, it is all about money. so I personally think it is going to be a mistake if Barcelona decides to sell them because they are a very important part of Barcelona right now. and the money is probably not going to be worth it.

Since Alonso confirmed his statement to stay with Leverkusen, Liverpool previously also had several other coaches on their list as Jurgen Klopp's successors. Well, now the name Arne Slot has appeared again. Previously, the Feyenoord coach was on the list, but Liverpool's priority was Xabi Alonso. quoted from Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has discussed contract terms with Arne Slot, who is represented by Rafaela Pimenta. There is no problem because the Feyenoord coach is genuinely interested, he gave the green light for the move on Tuesday, after a positive initial contract.

So, now Arne Slot is predicted to be a potential replacement for Klopp who has decided to end his career at Anfield. If you refer to what Romano said on his social media, it seems that this rumor is almost close to being true because it was reported by this Italian journalist who has a reputation for being trustworthy. and if this is true, I can't comment much if in the end Arne Slot becomes coach of the Red.
Let's see how things develop next, whether Arne Slot will actually come to Anfield. Or, Liverpool will look for other candidates. before that happens, the Premier League is not over. So, let's just follow the competition of the top 3 teams in the Premier League in the race for the trophy this season.

No matter how many times people said he turned it around this season, I will always include Maguire to the "to go list" for myself. Rashford is in fact more deserving of staying. I agree that Antony needs to go, that's the number one, then I would send Maguire, then I would send Casemiro, and only after that I would send Rashford.

I feel like there are so many things that needs to be done, we need to consider all of that, and we could only make money that way. I know that it is not that easy, and should take time, but we need to make sure that we are going to make some profit eventually if we know what we are doing. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a much better result, we should be careful about all of that.

This transfer is predictable because since last summer Giroud was rumoured will leave AC Milan this because AC Milan has decide will not extended his contract so Giroud can free to leave this team after this season ended and indeed with his current age it's hard to playing at high level of competitions just like Serie A or Champion League and it proven from his condition because Giroud has starting to often to gets injured so Giroud has just make good decision by choose MLS because the competition at there is not too tight compared to Serie A

I am sure Milan have already to considering this factor and obviously this summer they will look for the replacement of Giroud but i don't think they will choose Lukaku because Lukaku current age is 30 years old and if Milan want to regenerated their squad then they have to look for younger player and recently Milan was linked to Joshua Zirkzee this because they impress to see Zirkzee performance during this season with Bologna and this summer Milan will thinking possibility to bought him and Zirkzee also has been confirmed because although probably he can bringing Bologna to playing at Champion League for next season but Zirkzee want to leave Bologna and look for new challenge

A few hours ago we received news that Arne Slot was a candidate for a coach who was being seriously discussed to replace Klopp, even though previously several coaches were also on the list of Klopp's replacements.
According to Fabrizio Romano's statement, Liverpool and Feyenoord, which is the team handled by Slot, are currently in the process of negotiating compensation fees and according to him, both parties are reportedly going well.

If Liverpool's final decision reaches an agreement with Slot and Feyenoord, we hope that Arne Slot can do his job well in matters of adaptation or other things in building the team.
Arne Slot comes from the Netherlands, don't let him be like ten Hag even though this is completely unrelated.

The club may have considered many things why Lukaku is not worthy of being made permanent so the decision will be a careful consideration made by the club. Talking about his abilities, Lukaku has entered an age that is not very productive and perhaps the club intends to look for young players who are much fresher to face next season. In the Chelsea squad Lukaku will not get a regular playing place because there they have much younger talent to play with.

Financial problems may be one of the reasons why Lukaku is no longer retained and his slightly higher salary would be difficult for AS Roma to afford. Things might be much more complicated, but if Chelsea intends to release Lukaku to the Saudi Arabian League then we will hear what kind of offer one of the clubs there dares to make.

Tuchel's intention after announcing leave the Bayern Munich is followed by his strong efforts to take the Champions league for the club, hence is efforts to push the club to the semi-finals, right now. What might seem to be more intense for Bayern Munich will be their challenge over the Real Madrid at the semi-finals which will be on 30th of the month at the Allianz stadium in Bayern's home. If I was Tuchel's, without trying to teach him his job, I would have sit back to watch the game pattern of the Real Madrid over this season, understand their strengths and weaknesses,  then train my boys to face them squarely by training them every day at the stadium to get familiar with the pitch.

Now, if Tuchel's succeeds, it will write a golden name in his history book with Bayern, and bringing in Zidane into the club will pose him with more challenge to achieve more results. But the complain about the World cup champion holder manager, Zidane, is that he doesn't speak English and the club will truly require someone who can communicate in English with the team players. Alternative, Hamman, Bayern's Ex-player, pointed at Demichelis who knows how to speak in English, has worked with Bayern's second team and the Under 19 and doing well with the Argentine's team River Plate, right now as a better option to Zidane.

The search for a coach for Liverpool has begun. Currently, Arne Slot is rumored to be Liverpool main target as Klopp replacement. Arne Slot is a coach who was successful in providing trophies for Feyenord (Eredivisie title), is considered to be able to provide a strategy that is not much different from Klopp. If this is true, maybe it can be easy for him to adapt with players. But, Liverpool is not the only one to get him, because several big European clubs are also wants to bring Slot to their clubs. Munich and Barcelona are two of the clubs linked to Slot at the moment.

Who're the players that need to be trained by Ten Hag?

Martial? injured since last year.
Shoretire and Forson? both of them have no place in senior team.
Antony? nothing different to Hojlund.
Garnacho and Rashford? both of them are suitable in their own positions.

Ten Hag has no choice except let Hojlund to play for every match even though he's really awful. The only way for Manchester United to have a new striker without sign a new player is waiting Greenwood back from Getafe in the next 3 months.

Major League Soccer is a good alternative for any player who is not comfortable with the Saudi Professional League. The SPL offers more monetary incentives, so players who want to make more money will easily choose the Gulf League. However, some players are not moved by money and are not also comfortable with the cultural and political systems of Saudi Arabia. Some players still want to enjoy the same lifestyle they are used to in Europe and the US offers such settings.

The French striker has been playing football for two decades and has won almost everything, so moving to a less competitive league until his retirement is the best idea.

Milan has some great strikers that could replace the French striker. And I don't think hiring an old striker like Lukaku will not be a good idea, a younger striker should be signed to boost the team's attack next season.
