Surprise!Surprise! It has been reported that Arsenal is in talks with benzema to potentially loan him from al ittihad, and it's exciting to see that there is a possibility of him joining the English Premier League this season. I would like to see him join in the chelsea but it seems like that arsenal is one step ahead compared to the chelsea.
Don't take it seriously caused by benzema join in a club that has never won UCL. It was shocking me that i never expect that if arsenal would be interesting to sign him as a new player. I was hoeping that benzema to stay but it seems like that he will be interesting to play in the premier league.

Benzema was a one tap specialist and he may be useful for arsenal. This guy has a very good positioning and i think that he will be join in premier league. Im waiting for the further news regarding this.
He may be deciding his final decision very soon. There's no need to feel doubt about that. Bnzema was a good striker even though he was old. Arsenal can at least has more option on its strikers.

Nketiah and gabriel are still performing so badly. Benzema would become a short term solution for the club.

There is no truth in this news because we have already updated about Barcelona about their January plans they are not going to have any buying with their finances are going the worst day by day, and they can't afford anything new with this all so most of the time we have rumours about few players, but these are just for the media and intention of having more followers there is nothing officially coming about Barcelona going to have anything even now we have rumours Xavi is going to have challenging time because if he fails to deliver anything in this season then most chances his job is going to be under threat which could be surely worst for the club as well because they are having the best person at his job and losing him can bring more troubles for them in coming weeks.

This is a temporary solution for Roma when suddenly fired Morinho. Everything is still ahead and Roma management chose him not because of his expertise but because of Rossi's enthusiasm and affection for Roma. Considering Rossi's coaching experience, it is quite modest as he was only a member of the Italian coaching staff that won Euro 2020 and De Rossi's first coaching job ended with his dismissal in February. 2023 after four months working at SPAL. But Rossi is the person who understands Roma and the culture of this team the best. I believe he will have certain results when temporarily leading Roma in the near future.

Surely Mourinho will never return to Chelsea or MU. Mourinho's personality shows that he will find a new destination to rebuild his empire. Up to now, the curse of three successful seasons with one team seems to still be coming true for Mourinho. Arabia could be his next stop

Winning the league currently, their chances are very slim and I don't think that would be possible. I would really keen on watching José Mourinho becomes one of the influential part of the Blues that would complete the equilibrium balance between the coach and the team's performance. José Mourinho relieved of his duties and there's no way he's coming back to Stamford Bridge because the current coach, Mauricio Pochettino is trying his best to enchanced the team and no doubt about Todd Boehly dismissing the coach presently.

I also have read the news, AS Roma officially fired him. Yes, he only got 1 title when he managed AS Roma, he only won the trophy of UEFA Conference League. However, he made a history for AS Roma, AS Roma becomes the first team to win the trophy of UEFA Conference League. He also leads AS Roma to the final of European League. This should be appreciated, not every coach can do this. AS Roma already finished the season with no trophy for a long time before Mourinho became the manager.

No, he mustn't return to Man United. It is not a friendly team for him, he must prefer to choose another team. I guess he may go to Serie A or he comes back to his country. Or he can decide to be the manager of one of the teams in SPL.

Previously Mourinho has been twice to train Chelsea on season 2004 and season 2013 and last time he train this team Chelsea was unable to performing well under him so it make Chelsea have to sacked him so i don't think Mourinho will return to Chelsea for the third time especially Chelsea condition is not really good currently however indeed after Roma sacked him then people will starting to speculate which team will being an his destination but indeed when he still train Roma some of Saudi Arabian clubs were showing their interest to him even they offering high salary if Mourinho willing to moved to Saudi Arabian so probably Mourinho will considering the offers from them

Besides that Mourinho probably want to find new challenge and Saudi Pro League is the right place for him but if he want to stayed and train european teams then he was linked to several teams just like Newcastle and after gets poor results this season then there is a rumour Newcastle want to sacked Eddie Howe and Mourinho name was appears as the replacement of Eddie Howe and probably if Mourinho moved to this team he can bringing Newcastle to performing well again

Messi alone cannot do everyone to win games, elevating his team to the top and remaining there. It’s just not possible no matter how good the player is. One individual cannot do it all.
I think they signed Messi for various reasons, publicity and marketing reasons amongst others. But I think his influence is still felt in the team although not as much as he or his supporters would have desired.

The gameplay at PSG was majorly centered around Mbappe so I don’t think his absence would be really missed. I think there has always been some sort of expectations(sometimes unrealistic) from Messi to either score a goal or create chances for one.

What happened to Mbappe to Liverpool rumors? I knew it would be a bust because of a number of reasons. PSG has chosen to throw more money at their problems instead of eliminating the problem once and for all. Mbappe needs to win the UCL trophy to add to his name and this current PSG team won't cut it one bit.

What PSG needs is to bring in other talented players to complement and support Mbappe so they can win the UCL. If PSG doesn't win the UCL this year, I doubt if they'd be able to keep Mbappe for another season.

The financial constraints have probably played a big role in the overall decline of Roma's lack of accomplishments in the last few months. Every time they got a little bit closer to a strong level, the decline in their performance was literally inbound and I think these little setbacks every single time made everyone tired and Mourinho's words weren't of the same impact anymore.

For everyone involved I believe getting in a new coach is the right decision and perhaps it is still the right time to do it. Half of the season has been played and there is still something to be done about their final position. If they waited 10 more weeks or something, then all hope would probably be lost by then. Rather give it a shot now.

So true, it was very disappointed to see that the management out of respect for mourinho. He gave everything for the team and he got no budget to buy a good player and he was not complaining about that caused life must go one. There will be no coach who will able to do the same like him.
That's why roma was always performing so poorly when it comes to the winning a trophy. it's caused by the club has very weak mentality at this moment. jose was slowly but surely trying to solve it but it was failed caused by the management has a non sense target with poor club like that.

It's not capable anymore after jose has left from the club. The new coach will have different vision compared to the jose mourinho and this is the main problem owned by the club. Im concerning about the decision making from the management of club to sack him.
It can be considered as the worst decision to sack someone who was delivering a lot for the club. In fact, this is also greatly affecting the performance of team too. Im sure that the team has not yet ready to lost him.

Another stupid mistake being made by the management of club. people can put respect toward it anymore. Let roma out from europa league soon. Feyenoord needs to destroy it.

It's understandable to evaluate Jose Mourinho's tenure at Roma based on financial considerations and league performance. But Mourinho's success in securing Roma's first European trophy is a significant achievement. Winning a continental competition is a testament to the team's capabilities and Mourinho's managerial prowess. This success should not be understated, because it adds historical value to the club's achievements.

Mourinho may have faced budget constraints, and the ability to secure a European trophy amid such challenges is a testament to his managerial skills and ability to maximize resources. The struggle to secure top-four finishes cannot be solely attributed to Mourinho's management. The league's competitiveness makes consistently achieving high positions a formidable challenge for any team. Mourinho may have faced challenges in managing player dynamics. While finishing 6th in consecutive seasons might be seen as a setback, Consistent performance in a competitive league requires a comprehensive analysis beyond the final league position. Building a team and implementing a managerial vision often takes time. Abrupt changes may hinder the development of a cohesive squad capable of consistent top-level performance.

They could if they find a good replacement of him but the fact that they sacked him midway means that Roma probably already has a suitable replacement for him otherwise its silly to sack him. Yeah he might not be the 'special one' anymore because football is evolving and currently most of the younger generations managers are doing way better job compared to the older generation

Lionel Messi has proven to be able to raise the spirits of other players when he is on the field and that is his skill, he can even improve the atmosphere in a big contribution to bringing his team to victory. While Messi joined Inter Miami, it was difficult to follow his progress because MLS had not yet resumed and I myself don't like MLS because the competition there is not as interesting as in the Premier League or La Liga. Messi take it off from the European stage indicates that the Messi era is over and we only see him playing in easy leagues with competition that is no longer too tight. Inter miami will play many friendly matches this month so we can see Lionel messi back on the pitch to help Inter Miami in friendly matches.

Well, when Messi was at PSG, he didn't get good enough treatment, even PSG fans often made a lot of taunts at Messi, so Messi was very uncomfortable being at PSG. Apart from that, Inter Miami in the coming season or to be precise when MLS returns where Inter Miami is the favorite to be the champion because Inter Miami will be very strong on the front line because Luis Suarez has officially become their player this season.

I don't really know why Roma sacked a coach that gave them their first trophy in many years. Mourinho did a good job there winning the conference league and getting to Europa league final. They want to contest for the Seria A title possibly but they are not getting their coach the quality players that will help in doing that. I wish Mourinho well in the future and I hope he gets a good club and return to management soon.

You people clearly don't appreciate what Mourinho did for United.

Let me help you jog your memory a bit about the trophies he won in Manchester United.

EFL Cup: 2016–17
FA Community Shield: 2016
UEFA Europa League: 2016–17

Is that not a big  achievement? How many coaches can do that in their first season in a new club?

Honestly in this case I don't really follow MLS but looking at the standings that Inter Miami has when in the season when there is Messi and there is no Messi in it, I see that it is a setback for them.

Last season they only won 9 times out of 34 matches played when there was Messi, Busquets and Alba in it and scattered in 14th place which means it is one level at the bottom of the table and when compared to the previous season they were in 6th place in the 2022 season it is very contrary to what you said because with the presence of Messi doesn't it worsen Inter Miami's performance?
High expectations and expecting too much from Messi is also not very good because in the end instead of their performance getting better they are getting worse in the standings.

Winning the first european trophy for Roma is impressive, but if we consider the funds spent in his time including wages offered to the players Mourinho vetoed; it can be considered a failure at Roma, inability to get top 4 places in the serie a and finishing 6th for consecutive season had its toll; the repeated player power struggle meant it was time for Jose to go

A top manager; a top coach; hopefully he finds a better adventure soon

They should better have a backup plan for the team after Mbappe leaves because it is not going to be easy for them to continue in this form without a player as relevant as Mbappe. PSG should be more than certain that Mbappe is going to leave them this season, so I expect their back up plan to be fully ready by end of the season. Mbappe needs to win other trophies, but with PSG, there’s a big limitation to the trophies he’s going to get throughout his career unless he switch the club. Sometimes it is not about how prominence a team is, but the number of quality players present in the team at that time and the quality coach attach to them.


This is so sad and I felt for him to be in tears as a result of the sack. AS Roma to me didn’t do him well by asking him to leave at this point. At least he won them a trophy that they haven’t won before which they need to be appreciable for. If he was sacked because of his performance in the serie A this season, I don’t think there’s any coach that will replace him and perform better than what he did for the team with they calibre of players in that team currently. The special one is still special but to those who value his specialty.

Mbappe future at PSG will be determined in the next two weeks, because when the transfer window closes, Mbappe can leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, to be precise in June 2024. Now apart from Real Madrid, Liverpool is also widely linked with Mbappe, will but in my opinion the Reds don't have the money to pay Mbappe a large amount every week. This salary request will certainly make it difficult for Mbappe to move to a new club, because they will also think that recruiting Mbappe does not guarantee that they will bring trophies. Especially for a club like Madrid, even though they didn't recruit Mbappe, I see that Los Blancos are very favorites in every competition they participate in.

I admit that Mbappe is a good player, his individual skills and speed are above the average of other players, his presence can make a difference to the outcome of the match. However, it is better to resolve this tug of war immediately, so that Mbappe himself can focus on achieving targets and helping his team achieve success. Because the media always highlights the transfer saga that links him to several clubs, even clubs from the Saudi Pro League have also been linked. On the other hand, I still believe that PSG will not let Mbappe go on a free transfer, even though Mbappe has stated that his departure can protects all the club interests.

Madrid is lucky because it is the club that Mbappe wants, and PSG is still in the position of begging for his signature. There is a possibility of a contract extension being proposed by PSG as a form of anticipation for Mbappe departure on a free transfer, and after an agreement is reached Mbappe will be invited to move. It makes sense that what Mbappe means by protecting all interests is extending the contract, and the club that is interested must pay the amount of money that PSG wants. We'll see how this speculation ends, and where Mbappe goes next.

Mourinho was really successful with Roma when it comes to European tournaments such as the Conference League and Europa League. But he was just not able to do a good job in the Serie A since he took over. Of course having a limited budget to make transfers can also be shown as a reason for that. But it isn't the only reason for that as well. 

I think Roma's current squad are still capable of fighting for top 4 and even finishing in this area. But they have always struggled with consistency problems. This season has been even worse for Roma in the Serie A so far. Let's see what Daniele De Rossi will do.
