Joao Felix is a player who plays for Barcelona on loan and he couldn't really have a perfect performance during all these times and says more money on this player can't be good for Barcelona.
Instead of giving this huge money to Joao Felix, Barcelona can think about other players.

Yes the Werner signing was definitely a huge surprise to everyone as no one will think both the club and the player himself will make such move after the last stint the player had in the premier league which was not convincing at all. But I thought about what the player will offer after it was revealed that it was Ange’s decision to sign him i will say he looks like someone that will fit in. Ange’s pattern is mostly playing a high line and this formation needs someone very quick in the striker role and that’s why Son was switched there. Just like everyone is saying if Werner can time his runs well he will definitely be big threat in the league. Postecoglu has been excellent to me with his signings so far, players like Van de ven, Sarr brought back from loan and also  Vicario who have been superb too.

Timo Werner flourishes in this kind of formations, even though he struggled in the premier league he did help them to win the champions league with that playing time. If this time he gets his running well and stay offside he will definitely help Spurs

I agree with you, At least a core Chelsea fan knew about his capacity and how he's already made history with the club. I'm no blue but I can say Chelsea in the last decade has got to be the most decorated English Premier League club in all of European footbal competition.
Though, we shouldn't forget that pain changesea man completely.

Arsenal moving for a player who hasn't score more goals than Nketiah this season?
They shouldn't be daft, they need a good goalscorer and not a yougin,they fail to make signatures then they'll fail the Premier League Competition.

With the way things are going at Chelsea,it seems they will be looking at the possibility of signing a new coach who will change their focus.Chelsea of recent had been an average team who was not counted among top elite teams again,but I believe after this January transfer window,things will change for good,and they will start getting some positive results.
Chelsea needs to go to the window,and sign like two or three players who can help the team get some posituve result,and not someone who will drag the team to the mud.It is good,and I think that  giving Pochetino time is the best thing to do,maybe they should judge him after the end of the season.

Of course Timo Werner cannot, and then they also have Richarlison who is on the same level with Werner as average players, so i would have imagined that this is the time for him to step up in Son's absence. Well, if Ange went for Werner, then he definitely has plans for him in the team, we'd see how everything pans out.

Werner's potential first game is a big one against Manchester United, that is if the manager thinks he is ready to play on Sunday, if he can go on and make a statement in such a big game, we might start to take him seriously in his new team.  

Indeed. Since signing Felix probably spend a lot of money, Barcelona must think again about their financial situation. If they are not in a good condition to sign Felix, it is better to extend his loan for 1 season more. Or if there is another club interested to sign Felix, Barcelona must look for another striker who has cheaper price to loan or buy. I think Felix performance isn't very amazing, but he could play quite well so far. So, Barcelona doesn't need to force themselves to sign Felix.

I don't know which player can be the alternative for Barcelona. Considering the limited budget of Barcelona, I think Barcelona only can target for an old striker or a very young striker.

Timo Werner will have a tough task with Tottenham in the second half of this season because timo werner was brought in as an option to replace Son because Son will strengthen his country in the Asian Cup. Apart from that, Timo Werner already played with another team in the Premier League last season, so Timo Werner will not need time to adapt to with Premier League. With his performance not being very satisfactory with Chelsea in the previous season I hope he can revive his best qualities with Tottenham in the second half of this season.

If you look at Tottenham performance this season, of course they are very dependent on Son so it is hoped that his absence in the second half of this season will not have a bad impact on their performance. For now, Ange Postecoglou must immediately think about how to set the best strategy to make Tottenham stronger. Apart from that, Tottenham will face Manchester United in tomorrow's match, maybe this will be Timo Werner first match.

Well I see no reason why Mbappé would choose to remain at PSG over Madrid, the Ancelotti might have made statements concerning the Mbappé but we all know that they're in need of a good and experienced striker and would definitely make a move for Mbappé once he declares his intentions to move there or he's declared free by PSG. If he wants to win a major trophy and make better name for himself then a move to Madrid would be the b option.

  Well he still got from now till the end of this season's competition to make his decision and I also think he decided to stay a PSG and extended his contract last summer cause he wouldn’t want to move to the Saudi league which is not good for his career as a young player and he's very comfortable with the figures he's receiving at PSG, else he would've gone to Arab for the money.

Many believe that if Abramovich was still the owner of the Chelsea club, Pochettino would have been fired by now. All his efforts led to setbacks, some of the players recruited last summer did not show their best performance, and some of them even ended up in the treatment room due to injuries. Nkunku, who has just appeared since being brought from Leipzig, has suffered another injury, Jackson has now received a call to play for the national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, and I think Pochettino is experiencing a big headache at the moment.

Honestly, I agree if Pochettino is fired, in order to save the club reputation. We can say that Chelsea has now turned into a mediocre club, as proof that they lost to Middlesbrough which we never imagined would happen. However, it seems that management still believes that Pochettino is the right person, even though some fans are currently urging him to resign as head coach.

There is no longer any discussion about Chelsea chances of winning any trophies this season, if they cannot recruit sharp players up front. A squad that is mostly made up of young players is not enough to make the Blues consistent, maybe recruiting an experienced striker will make them improve in the second half of the season. It is indeed very difficult to do, and I think Chelsea will miss European competition again next season if they don't find a solution soon.

Joao Felix has been used so much as loan, he deserves some level of respect at this time and be free to decide on his own but not by the club but I don't think Barcelona has the resources to extract him from the contract that bind him with Atletico but I will really love to see him make decisions on his own and not by the club public interest. This is why a young players need to be careful with the kind of deals they accept because they want a club badly, if he has signed a small duration contract, Atletico deal would have expired long time ago.



If Mbape sign the next contract with PSG, then I will believe that their is something wrong with him not after what they did to him when the season was about to start. I remember how he was denied entry to even the GYM where he can train and he will really want to sign a new deal. I think there is something he loves about PSG because why will you abandoned Real Madrid and go a place like PSG. I don't so.

Three days I read a report Barcelona not interested in signing Barcelona loanee Joao Felix and decided to halt any kind of negotiations at the moment. If that report should be true, Joao Felix will definitely not be happy with that because from his actions during the game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid earlier in the season, I think the player isn't interested in returning to Barcelona again.

His utterances in the post match interview suggests that he was happy with how he was being treated at the club and should Barcelona not permanent his deal, I think the Portuguese international will definitely move away at  from his parent club.

I think Joao Felix is not a priority for Barca at the moment, because there are still several attacking options that Barca has.
Like Vitor Roque and Ferran Torres who can fill this position. Moreover, if Barca force themselves to sign Joao Felix, he will incur a very high new salary burden.
I think selling some players is also impossible because the current performance is still unstable. The most sensible option is to extend Joao Felix's loan if Barca really wants him.

Complete imitation may not and will never happen, but Werner is trying to perform even better even if only as a player on loan. Timo Werner officially joined Tottenham Hotspur on January 9 2024 and will return to RB Leipzig on June 30 2024. Tottenham Hotspur coach, Ange Postecoglou, is a long-time admirer of the former Chelsea player. Tottenham Hotspur immediately borrowed Timo Werner considering that Manchester United also wanted him.

Chelsea former owner, Abramovic was the man that led the team to triumph with good points but this current Chelsea is a mess with zero evidence to exihibits. Chelsea have not ceased the golden moments in football after the new manager, Todd Boehly took over. We're yet to discover the purpose of the club and these new young signings can not enchance the club, not with their present averge performance. Chelsea dissapointed everyone this season, despite not in the major tournaments, they have failed to meet the requirements to reach the top four this season.

Zirkzee is on Arsenal radar now.

The player is actualy in Bologna in Serie A and he will leave at the 1st good bid.

I have my doubts it will happen anytime soon, it's more likely to be delayed until the end of the season, either at half time they could sack him or right at the end, although I don't see the point of that, there's little to change at the end. If Chelsea continue in the same vein, they will definitely finish the season in the second half of the standings, and that's a serious wake up call, you could say that Chelsea have levelled with average clubs and are no longer in the top

It should be underlined that in this case I do not think that he is a bad coach but for the coaching scheme and seeing the results he got when coaching Tottenham then everything will also not be different, maybe if he lasts long he can still take Chelsea to a better position but for the trophy problem then at least don't expect too much with it.

As for his quite controversial policy of selling almost all existing players and replacing them with new ones until now even though it is a bold move but I think when compared to the Potter and Lampard eras it is currently a little better even though nothing can be compared too high but now it is a little better than before. it's just that as I said before Poche will not be able to take Chelsea to a higher direction because for trophies apart from money there must be a performance that makes a difference and until now Poche is still below the actual standard for coaching big clubs but that doesn't mean he is a bad coach it's just that he is still unable to maximize his potential.

In Werner's video interview on the Tottenham YouTube channel, Werner is very optimistic about returning to the Premier League with Spurs, who is said to be a big club. He believes in this team with the greatness that Tottenham has, including the stadium problem.
Werner at RB Leipzig has not played much this season. Only 8 games and two starts.
I doubt Werner can emulate Son's influence at Spurs. Maybe Werner can prove it on loan, as he said in an interview, so that the Tottenham public will fall in love with him.

Felix has always been a good player, he's a loan player no doubt but he's performed more than he did with his original club. Barcelona has given him the type of tempo he needs to play with. They're a good and committed team and their players are coordinated. The coach himself is young and knows what he needs and builds his team to deliver rightly. It won't be bad to watch Felix stay to do more at Barcelona. Atletico didn't favor him as much as Barcelona has. He's now out of his shell and has built more confidence in himself as well.

 I personally don't think that after being watched to grow by Barcelona, then they'd let him off their camp. And I'm convinced that he also would want an extension with the Spanish side.
What kills a team is favoritism and it's one factor that should be worked on. Coaches should not involve favoritism as it may have an impact on the game outcomes and as well cause a whole lot of technical errors to occur and it may affect the players' conditions. They need to be encouraged and made to put in efforts to working in the team. It'll build their ball playing abilities and causes positivity in every game outcomes.

Yeah, I’m not sure why they have decided to bring Werner in. I guess it’s on loan so essentially risk free.

Son is at the Asian Cup too so they will need somebody to step up in his absence. I am doubtful Werner will come close to replicating the influence Son has.
