It is true that Liverpool has extraordinary players. Jurgen Kloop has developed these players over the years to make Liverpool a strong club in the Premier League because it has quality players. It is only natural that several Liverpool players are targeted by other elite clubs, including PSG and Barcelona both targeting Luis Diaz, I think it's impossible for Barcelona to buy Luis Diaz at a fairly expensive price, namely around 120 million euros. That price is too expensive for Barcelona at the moment, but it's only natural that Luis Diaz's price is priced that high by Liverpool knowing his current potential. who is getting better up front and it is impossible for Liverpool to discount the price of this important player because Liverpool would be better off not selling him than having to cut Luis Diaz's market price.

And only PSG could possibly buy Luis Diaz at such a high price knowing that PSG doesn't have any problems related to its finances, PSG can easily buy expensive players to replace Mbappe's role but in my opinion it will be quite a heavy consideration for Luis Diaz if he goes to PSG, as we know, Liverpool is a better club when compared to the League 1 club.

It appears that West Ham is now focusing on Amorim after Moyes was unable to keep his club in first place despite West Ham's strong start to the season and club considers him as a potential replacement for moyes, westham's officials are not feeling good anymore with moyes's achievemnt. Since the middle of the season, the club's performance has been steadily declining like a roller coaster which is also harming the club a lot. Westham is finding it increasingly difficult to secure a conference spot since it keeps miss three points which is totally unacceptable result.
Chelsea is now nearly surpassing it in terms of current standing, which is bad; it is time to fire the current coach and replace him with a new one as soon as possible.

The better for amorim to go to the westham instead of liverpool consider he will get less pressure once he will be moving to the westham rather than join in the liverpool. This will also help him to develop the performance from the club considering moyes will be sacked very soon.
Im sure that if westham will become a very good place for him instead of join in the liverpool soon. Liverpool is not the right place for him.

Liverpool have outstanding players and they've grown to be one of the very best players in the EPL over these years. I'm concern about Luis Diaz, he played a major role in Liverpool's frontline and his presence matters alot in matches and on the pitch. Diaz is equipped with incredible skills and good footings on the ball. Luis Diaz have been one an important player under Jurgen Klopp and he has deliver in matches countless times. The Colombia international will continue to strive for greatness in football. Perhaps concerning his football career, he's still a Liverpool player and have not made any suggestion to exits Anfield.

Who said that? If Salah will leave Liverpool, it is not because of the departure of Jurgen Klopp but it is the own intention of Salah. Salah may think he is already a long time playing as a Liverpool player, he wants a challenge now in a new team. Honestly, I still want to see him to play in Europe leagues since it is a place of the top football competitions in the world. If he wants to maintain his performance in his best level, he should play in one of the top league in the world. EPL, La Liga, and Serie A should be the right places for him. But if he moves to Saudi league, he decreases his football competition level.

Salah is one of the best strikers in the world. His finishing ability is also good. Why it is bad? If he sometimes missed the chances, it is something that other players also did it. Salah special ability is dribbling and fast running, it is not easy to get a player like this. Badly, Liverpool only has a great winger but they have no great striker. So, they too rely on Salah.

Four red cards? you probably mean 4 yellow cards but thats only if you count his statistic on EPL. He scored 2 goals and 1 assist on FA Cup though and yeah thats not really impressive for someone that was signed for that insane amount. Pretty sure he would be loaned away next season, he is barely useful for the club this season so there is really no reason to keep him

Fun facts, so far he had only scored only 10 goals of all games that he played including local cup, UCL and UEL ever since he was signed on 2022.

I am all for wisely chosen metaphors

I think Antony was absolutely overpriced, but it was during a time when clubs were willing to pay any amount that the clubs asked for. In 2022 there were many of the crazy Saudi Professional League transfers and many others. Prices were so inflated. He was and still is quite young, but paying almost €100 million for a player who scored 18 goals in 57 games for Ajax Amsterdam somehow sound wrong. But I am sure Manchester United didn't really care and one of the problems was in the Premier League that Chelsea was pushing the price competition with their shady accounting practices.

Is it a write-off already? Hard to tell, but it doesn't look like Antony could still become valuable for Manchester United, let alone ever justify the transfer fee.

How would you say Ronaldo failed at Manchester United during his second spell at United and even go as far to compare Antony with Ronaldo. If Antony was to score Ronaldo’s goals during his second spell in a season it would be considered as his best season so far and everyone will say he is performing well, Ronaldo’s worst season will be an achievement for Antony so never compare those two.

Antony is not so good else he would still be able to perform well at Manchester United, i don’t think if he joined Real Madrid there would be any much difference. Ten Hag and Antony are really flops and they don’t deserve to be at United at all. Even at La Liga he would still suffer unless he joins a smaller team. I still prefer Greenwood to Antony any day.

I think Antony can come into his own in La Liga next year. I think it makes sense for him to make this transfer in terms of his own career. Perhaps the challenging atmosphere of La Liga is less challenging for those leaving the Premier League. I predict that Antony can be successful like Greenwood. I'm sure there will be many teams that will want him.

You are right to criticize Antony but Cristiano Ronaldo came to this team a few seasons ago and failed. If Antony had transferred to Real Madrid I think he could have developed like Vinicius or Brahim Diaz. I think Antony's performance is determined by being in the wrong place at the wrong time as much as the ridiculousness of his signature move. The person who should be criticized at Manchester United is Erik ten Hag.

The best league for Antony would be Spanish La Liga. There were football commentators who said Mason Greenwood's football life was over but he had a good season at Getafe. I think Antony can do the same.

Goaless for this season? it's probably wrong and i remind you when antony scored against liverpool but yeah he did nothing in EPL since he was being suspended due to the his scandal. Ten hag was also rarely giving him time to play in the main squad of manchester united too.

Antony is obviously a flop that brought by ten hag to the manchester united. MU has a plan to sell him probably at the summer transfer season. Let's see how it's going on. Im expecting there will be only fewer offers consider how bad antony's performance.

It's saddened me to miss him once united will decide to put him for sale caused by he is the only player who did 360 degree spins. LMAO.

Even though this season Tuchel failed to maintain Bayern dominance in the Bundesliga, I also think he is still better than Ten Hag. His success with Chelsea has at least made United fans believe in what Tuchel can offer in the future, Ten Hag deserved to be kicked out of Old Trafford. In essence, Ten Hag must be fired first, it's up to you who will be the manager of The Red Devils in the future.

Even though they managed to get United through to the FA Cup final, The Red Devils performance against mediocre club in the semifinals was very disappointing, and they almost got knocked out. It is very difficult to explain United decline this season, but in that case they are not alone, because there is another elite Premier League club who has had a worse fate than them, namely Chelsea.

However, rumors of Ten Hag dismissal still seem uncertain, with the club and Ten Hag himself not saying anything regarding his future. It seems United want to confirm Tuchel signature first, before kicking Ten Hag out of Old Trafford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe must take a firm stance to save the club, because if not Ten Hag could make United fall even worse.

Playing in Spain is his strongest preference, but the strong rumor comes PSG trying to sign him as replacement for Mbappe. Diaz still has communication issue in Liverpool that makes him difficult to develop his chemistry in the team. I think his father being kidnapped a while ago still have impact on him. I'm doubtful Barcelona will sign him, because Liverpool won't him go on a low transfer fee, and Diaz will demand a high wage. If Diaz really wants to leave Liverpool, currently PSG is his best option with Mbappe leaving.

It's strange to see Barcelona having lack of quality wingers, because that positions used to be their strongest threat. Before Barcelona sign any player, firstly they need to make decision about who will be the head coach next season, because new signings need to adjust to the tactical style of the new coach. Barcelona can't afford to waste another signing in failure again with their financial situation.

Looks like everyone is angry towards Antony. why wouldn’t they be? This dude thinks he is Cristiano Ronaldo. Has an ego like Burj Khalifa. Meanwhile, he has not been able to score a single goal this season. This guy only has one assist and four red cards in his name and let’s not forget that this is not the stats of a defender, this is the stats of an attacking player. And this dude had the audacity to cup his ear like that after they won the semi finals against Coventry. he came into Manchester United for 95 million. I think the whole Coventry squad is worth 30 million. Bro literally found his level 💀. The thing that is going to bring him back to reality is him going back to some relegated club or a club that is on the verge of relegation almost every season.

The loss of form that happened with him in Chelsea was a little too much for him to make a comeback in my opinion. After that, he was trying really hard to get back his form. But he was unable to. Right now at least he is doing better. I hope he will be able to do much better in the future.

I do not understand why people are saying that he is getting too old. He is 30 years old right now. And I think even though he is not going to have a career like Cristiano Ronaldo or Luca Modrić, he can still perform well for at least four more years. So if he can actually find his true form he will be very dangerous.

One problem is that Roma cannot afford to make a whole squad around him. because he is not a stable performer. Probably that will be a problem for him. But if he is the main striker, I think he will be able to find the confidence that he needs and also perform well in the next season.

The current Manchester United squad actually contains quality players and can be said to be great players, but unfortunately they I think are in the wrong hands at this time, Ten Hag has so far not been able to improve the performance of his players well and even made their players' performance often experience a decline in performance, so far we can see how Manchester United managed to get great players like Casemiro,  Antony, Hojlund and even Varane whose quality we cannot doubt when playing with Madrid, but when he plays for Manchester United now it Exactly his market price drop dramatically as a sign of his deteriorating performance, I think if if the current squad is coached by coaches like Pep Guardiola and maybe Sir Alex Ferguson of course we will see Manchester United not only will be able to compete in the EPL but maybe even in UCL in my opinion.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made the right decision to find another coach as Ten Hag's replacement, but I think if he appointed Tuchel as ten Hag's replacement it would be like throwing rubbish but going back to pick up another rubbish, Sir Jim Ratcliffe should have seen what happened to Chelsea during Tuchel's coaching and even now he should have opened his eyes to see Bayern Munich's performance after being coached by Tuchel.  To be honest, there are still many other coaches who are competent than Tuchel and Sir Jim Ratcliffe should be more selective in looking at their prospective coaches if Ten Hag is sacked.

I 100% agree with you on Aguero and don't forget that Pep Guardiola uses these praises as part of his communicative strategy. He says about everyone of his players that he loves them even when they are sitting on the bench. He calls literally every player irreplaceable, it is just Guardiola

See, I wasn't wrong when I brought up Messi and Ronaldo in their prime and I think that Mbappe has some elements in his game that are almost non-existent twice in the world right now. Replaceability means availability right now in the present. Sure there might a player in the future who could perfectly replace Mbappe, but I don't see that player today. Vinicius Junior has his own set of qualities as a left winger.

But let me put this differently again: I am not saying that no other player could play there without the team losing quality in their game. When Vinicius Junior was injured, they did a good job in "replacing" him as it is still Real Madrid. But you can see how nuances changed in their game when Vinicius Junior was back and reached his top level again. It's a difference. The same happens when Mbappe is injured and PSG has to get along without him. Of course they can put another high quality player there, but in my opinion there is no doubt that you can see the difference when he is missing.

And availability really is a problem when a club doesn't have time to plan. It's not like they can just pick any player in the world and boom problem solved. A lot of things have to work out in terms of timing and stuff.

I get your point, but I would still say that for some players it is close to impossible to make up for their absence under most (if not all, see Messi or Ronaldo) circumstances. There could be another Ronaldo in 15 years from now or another Messi, but that doesn't help the Madrid or Barcelona of today.

Personally I think the decision by Sir Jim Ratcliffe who's happens to be the highest share holder at Manchester United to replace Erik ten Hag with current Bayern Munich boss at the end of the current season is a very good one. Erik ten Hag isn't the kind of manager that Manchester United need at the moment because of his poor tactical experience and decisions that's hugely cost the club a whole lot in the past.
Thomas Tuchel on the other hand haven't been a great manager at Bayern Munich since he signed for them and have made the club lose the league title for the first time in over 13 years but I there's no doubt to the fact that he's a better manager when compared to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag because their records are there for everyone to see. Thomas Tuchel won the UEFA Champions League title with Chelsea in 2020/21 season after guiding Paris Saint Germaine to the final in the previous season. He'll definitely make a good manager for United if you ask me

Is this true?

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luis-diaz-transfer-decision-barcelona-psg-liverpool-star/blt862b5bd594974fbb#cs3a4f9a5b56739a18

It seemed to me diaz has lost his interest to stay even longer in liverpool since klopp will be leaving from the club at the end of season. This gonna be a very good thing for barcelona as long as the club will able to recruit luiz diaz. Diaz's father was hoping for his son to join in the real madrid but it's unlikely to happen since madrid has so many best wingers in the world.
It will be far better for barcelona to recruit diaz and sell some garbage wingers that are still playing in the club right now. Im hoping this will be coming true since diaz has no reason to stay for another season in liverpool caused by klopp and salah will leave at the end of season.
There will be a lot of surprise to come at the upcoming summer transfer season. Barcelona may be also adding more players to be sold for some cash. The club is still having financial issue right now. This is also making the situation even more difficult for liverpool.

I thought when Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Manchester United fans should be more patient it was a signal that he would retain Erik Ten Haag as coach at his club, but if it is true that he has contacted Thomas Tuchel, it means he really wants changes at Manchester United for the better for next season.

However, replacing Erik Ten Haag with Thomas Tuchel will probably only make United the same team, the changes will not be significant because we can see how Tuchel at Bayern Munich failed to bring the team to retain the title and also dominate it in the Bundesliga, Tuchel only looks good when he is successfully brought Chelsea to the Champions League title but afterward, Chelsea also had difficulties in the English Premier League, and what is interesting is that there are rumors that United will use the services of Graham Potter if Ten Haag is no longer at Old Trafford, as well as Mourinho's name being mentioned as one of the replacement candidates and all of them are names who have coached at Chelsea.

Since officially becoming a shareholder of Manchester United Sir Jim Ratcliffe have an ambition that he want to bringing new manager to replace Ten Hag position and few months ago it says he want Chelsea former manager Graham Potter but apparently this rumours is not happened and now Sir Jim Ratcliffe want to gets Tuchel but indeed i agree with you because Tuchel was failed to bringing Bayern Munich to gets Bundesliga title and he should be considering this record as the reference but apparently he was very serious want to gets Tuchel because recently Sir Jim Ratcliffe have already contact Tuchel agent to discuss about this transfer

But because Bayern Munich still playing at Champion League so Sir Jim Ratcliffe have to wait a bit longer because Tuchel still focus with Bayern Munich probably after this season ended so Tuchel will give his answers regarding this rumour whether he will accept Manchester United offers or not and i know Manchester United didn't satisfied to Ten Hag works and there is possibility Ten Hag will be sacked soon but i personally thinking Tuchel is not the right manager for Manchester United
