If I'm to pick the Chelsea strikers for football games as a manager, I'll always go for Armando Broja ahead of Nicholas Jackson because to me he's got a better ball control than Jackson even when he's not been that clinical for Chelsea this season. But just like many managers who has different ideas and choices, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino prefers Nicholas Jackson over Broja and that has significantly affected the Broja's chances of getting playing times are the club.

I'm not surprised that he wants to leave and go to clubs where he's gonna get more playing time especially now that Christopher Nkunku is back to full fitness. Hopefully for him, he gets good offers from other English Premier League clubs.

Deal !
FC Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has liked for Bayern Munich to sign right-back Kieran Trippier from Newcastle united. Moreover, player have not been involved in any negotiations in terms of dealing, despite the fact that the deal will depend on the both clubs, i.e., Bayern Munich and Newcastle united. Bayern Munich actually used to play K. Laimer as full back whenever N. Mazraoui used to play. But anyway in fact Bayern Munich don't have any solid full back like Kieran Trippier. So because therefore, I believe that signing of Kieran Trippier for Bayern Munich is so good because they have already given the signal of weakness in their Right back position. Besides that, PSG is also trying to approach for Kieran Trippier to bring him to the French side But maybe Bayern Munich will be in a hurry to sign him because of the coach Thomas Tuchel.

Well, all you said are indeed true. There was no way Klopp would constantly put a player who is underperforming ahead of a player that delivers consistent results. For instance, whenever Nunez or Gakpo is underperforming, Klopp usually fields one in favour of the other. That competition has made Gakpo and Nunez improve in recent times, Nunez especially. Even James Milner had his fair share and always delivered when called upon. Henderson didn't want any of that ajd forced a deal away from Liverpool.

Let's hope he finds success at Ajax otherwise he'd just be like other players who retire when they're not too simply because they're in the wrong club.

Coaches that are good enough are solely for elite teams while the average ones struggles to get a job. AS Roma couldn't endure the longing suffering of defeats, the board decided to let go of the coach because they surf out he's the main problem of the club that have held them to become vulnerable, José Mourinho was incompetent for his job and he have to go because there's no more interests from the supporters and a ruined reputation for the coach. José Mourinho is different from the rest coach, he has solid plans and always two steps above his oppositions.

Jose Mourinho ever said to media about his interested to be Saudi Arabia club manager one day later but not in short time, after sacking from AS Roma manager right he not reach any verbal agreement with European club and likely he has chance continue his manager career with Saudi Arabia clubs. Despite have many top european players get difficult adapt well and return back to european teams such as Jordan Henderson, Firmino but its not make Saudi Pro League less interested exactly with their fantastic offer bigger salary payment.
I sure Jose Mourinho will be most expensive payment salary as manager in the world if accept with Saudi Arabia club to be manager, lets give moment awhile for Mourinho will acceptable to be Saudi Pro League teams manager or he wants stay to be european club manager.

Expensive compared to what? Do you remember how much Mudrik cost? Or Anthony? These are mediocre players (at least for now) but they paid a lot of money for them because that’s the way the transfer market is now (Saudis and everything else). There are no guarantees that the transfer will be successful (although Haaland is already an accomplished player and wherever he played he scored a lot of goals), there is a possibility that what happened with Hazard will happen, but this does not mean that big transfers should not be made at all.
As for prices, taking into account the signing bonus of 130 million that Mbappe will receive, there is no difference between “buying out” the player or paying a signing bonus - the final price will be approximately the same.
And the likelihood that Mbappe and Haaland will play for Real at the same time is zero, both want to be the “first fiddle” and will never agree to such competition, especially Mbappe since he does not play the tip of the attack, but rather a position under the striker, so it may turn out that the whole the statistics will benefit Haaland.

"Verbal Agreement" I think we will hear the official news about it within 1-2 days.
And the funny thing is, there is already a schedule of friendly match in Jan 24th Al Shabab vs AS Roma lol.
So if that really happens, Mou must face his former club in less than a week.

Rumors circulated that he had a disagreement with AS Roma management, resulting in a sudden dismissal and the management appointed De Rossi as a temporary replacement. If AS Roma looks for a coach who is more experienced than Jose Mourinho, he might have a chance to make AS Roma better. But De Rossi may not necessarily be able to provide something much better than Jose Mourinho because in terms of experience he has not yet been proven as a coach.

Apart from the Saudi Arabian League in the Premier League, there are also rumors that several clubs want Jose Mourinho's services, such as Chelsea and Newcastle United, but I am not sure that Jose Mourinho will return there. Maybe if the opportunity exists, Jose Mourinho will go to the Saudi Arabian League because there he can provide something new compared to returning to the Premier League.

Yes Mourinho does need to take a break before he returns to coaching, but I haven't heard of him being linked with a new club or rumors about which clubs are interested in him. Taking over a top club again would be a coach's desire, but is anyone interested? that's the question. i don't mean to underestimate Mourinho, obviously he's one of the best coaches ever. but lately I've seen his strategies go downhill and are easy for opponents to read, I don't know if it's because of the limited players he needs, or there are other reasons.
I think going to the SPL won't hurt either, he can try there and enliven the competition on the coaching bench, especially since the money there will also be more. But it comes back to what kind of decision he makes.

You seem like a Chelsea that have watch Armando Broja play multiple times and have seen how he plays but i must say everyone has their style of play and obviously you dislike Broja’s style of play, i also don’t fancy his style and despite Jackson missing a lot of chances i still prefer him to Broja. A lot of factors are being considered when valuing a player and from the way the transfer market have turned out recently I don’t think Broja should worth less considering that he is young and have really not got enough opportunity to prove himself yet, his appearance this season have been inconsistent so it’s difficult to fully rate his full potential.


Surely one needs to adapt to change of environment but I don’t think players of such experience should feel pressured into signing a new club. Henderson may be affected due to the form of the team and that doesn’t mean he should change a team just yet, at least he should finish the season before joining Ajax or be patient until the team gains back their form.


  All i see is Chelsea fans ranting. If they eventually sell Broja for that price it is going to be a win win for you and the club, making such amount on a player that has no much use for the club. If i were you i would pray they succeed so they club will have enough money to finance the purchase of a better striker.

United currently are behind in their performance and a lot is obviously wrong with the team. For me I'd say the fault is from both Ten Hag and his players as well. The players fault in the sense that they're being too sluggish in the pitch, they play like there's no interest in the game and they just want to get done with it. The way and manner they give off chances and how smaller teams capitalize on their mistakes to earn a lead from them. They've got good players but the players aren't at their best self week after week.

 Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games. Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

According to news from The Athletic, Armando Broja has the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge in January 2024.
https://theathletic.com/5208430/2024/01/17/chelsea-armando-broja-transfer/
The poor performance given by Broja may be due to just returning from a long injury at the start of the 2023/24 season. So far, the 22 year old player has only appeared in 617 minutes in all competitions this season. This poor performance may be one of the reasons for releasing Broja, but Chelsea is asking a price of 35 million to 50 million pounds for the player from Albania. Broja has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham. Both teams want to increase their attack power.

Who the heck is club willing to buy him at such an expensive price? what a non sense price from chelsea. I knew that chelsea has bought him with a lot of money but he was failed to deliver. It's time for chelsea to let him leave from the club but 65 millions was too much for a striker that was only collecting a few goals till this time. Im sure that those clubs will be running away from broja caused by non sense price given by chelsea. It sounds a non sense thing if there will be one of them to buy broja with such price. That's too good to be true for broja to leave from chelsea with that price. Guirassy from stuttgart was also fuckin cheaper compared to the broja. What's a special thing about him? i see nothing on broja.

He was average striker that was always running in the field caused by rarely getting the ball. Broja was also very bad in the ball control too. Im only wondering what things that makes those clubs interested to acquire him as a new striker.
Those teams are probably thinking that chelsea may be selling him for cheap price but the opposite thing was just happening recently. 

Broja was obviously useless.

While It was a little bit difficult for me to comprehend some of your context, I'll go ahead to finally say that players like Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan Bisakka have all been lined up to leave the club when the transfer window begins.
A lot of people might not be in good support of this plan but this is the right way to progress, they're not players to keep for Manchester United despite them importance. Jonny Evans should also be included as he'll aslo leave at the end of the season when his contract comes to an end.

Making moves for another player he works with at Ajax made me smile, this so another player he can vouch for and the player has fallen off the pecking others of players behind Kim Min Jae  and Dayot Umapecano this season. With Eric Dier signature, it's already enough message passed acrossed, he'll do well for Manchester United regardless of what they say!!

Arab clubs are indeed aggressively recruiting stars after Al Nassr made a great recruitment by bringing in Ronaldo, Al Hilal also succeeded in bringing in Neymar, as well as Al-Ittihad who succeeded in recruiting Benzema as their spearhead, currently it looks like the club Arabs have many European stars in their clubs rather than local players in order to increase the popularity of their football, it cannot be denied that among these star players it is Benzema who seems to be having problems at the club and I think in this case Benzema should act professionally and not run away from the team training camp Al-Ittihad, I think we can't blame the club in this matter because after all Al-Ittihad is one of the rich clubs and is also a challenger for the Saudi Arabian league title and I think the club attitude to suspend Benzema is the right step after Benzema did not act professionally in his work so far, if we talk about adaptation, in fact Benzema has adapted well at Al-Ittihad and it has been proven that he was able to score 11 goals and 5 assists from 19 matches with Al-Ittihad, apart from that there are many European players who are currently playing in the Arab league Of course it will not be difficult for Benzema to adapt culturally and socially in Arabia.

The Arab League and the clubs are not even third class. Why should Mourinho do that? To provide development aid? He's earned enough money that he doesn't have to do that to himself. Many stars only want to leave Saudi Arabia, see Jordan Henderson, who left for Ajax Amsterdam after less than six months, thus giving up a lot of money. Firminho and others are also desperate to leave. Mourinho should take some time out and then take over a top club. In the second half of the season, more coaches will be traditionally sacked that opens opportunities for him.

So far, it seems to me that Mourinho's move to Saudi Arabia is just a rumor, and honestly, this Al-Shabab team is a very weak team with a cast without any quality, even if Mourinho agreed to be coach of this Al-Shabab team, it would be impossible for Mourinho to was to turn this Al-Shabab team into a strong team, because from what I read in the news, the Arabs are reducing the money they spent to sign many very expensive players and Al-Shabab is currently in position number 11 and is very far from the top teams. Therefore, it would not be a good choice for Mourinho to go to a team with no chance of winning the league and looking at the Arab league itself

I very much doubt that Mourinho would have a good reputation and popularity being in this Arab league. The fans of these Arab league teams have been cruel when the team they love is having bad results and we all know that when something is not right, Moorinho criticizes it and in Saudi Arabia life is hard in terms of freedom of expression. In my opinion, it would not be a good move for Mourinho to go to Saudi Arabia. I hope he tries to get a job in a good team in Europe, preferably a premier league team because Mourinho's style of play is more suited to premier league teams that have the capital to bring in good players

I expected to see teams like Manchester United and Chelsea being very active in the market and making good signings, but as expected from these two teams, whenever transfer time comes they make strange signings. We will see after the market closes how these two teams intend to change the current scenario in which they find themselves. Both teams are not in a position to fight for the title and are not in a position to win any European competition. So I wonder how they intend to change things if they didn't make good hires?

I don't quite agree with you here. I don't think his struggles is because he picked Al Ettifaq. It's more of a league issue, Benzema who's at the peak of his career at Real Madrid is also struggling. This morning, I read the comment from the Saudi Pro League Chairman, and he said the same thing. Not everyone will adapt well in a new league, sometimes after a slow start, a newcomer may find his feet and shines and sometimes he may not. It's a shame his contract got terminated after 6 months.

It would be better if Morinho goes to another league to start a new journey with a team in Saudi Arabia.It was a devastating moment when Roma sacked him for not being able to get the team into a tittle contending club,but I feel like Roma are not grateful  for what Morinho did for them.A man who took them from where they were and made them reach the final of the Europa league,and they still went ahead to sack him? It looks to me that he wasn't treated fairly.but as they say,that every dissappointment brings blessing,there are places he will go to,and they will give him the respect that he deserves because Roma did not respect him atall.The Saudi league will offer him more money if he accepts to go there.

Manchester united is always making another shock movement.

People can see how manchester united was making some movements to revamp the defensive line. Manchester united needs to sell a lot of players. I can't even believe it finally ten hag was aware with the problem owned by manchester united. It was showing that if manchester united is willing to sell a lot of its defenders. I do support this caused by manchester united knows if poor defenders become the major problem owned by the club. Im quite happy by seeing ten hag finally listened to the fans. Im wondering who will be put for sale very soon.

Some defenders have been targeting by ten hag and im sure that manchester united will able to perform better with all of those new defenders soon. The only problem whether ten hag will pick the right players for the club. We do know that how shitty ten hag when it comes to players transfer.
I will not blame him if he will make the good transfers but i will blame him if ten hag's new players will become another flop like onana and mount. Enough is enough for him.
The management shall give him ultimatum if he will not able to perform better than before.
