It is true that Paul Pogba has officially become a free agent but I find it difficult to believe the rumors suggesting that Galatasaray is interested in signing him. Paul Pogba is injury prone and with his doping scandal, I don't think that they will want to associate themselves with such a high risk player. Pogba’s reputation is damaged and so is his value in the transfer market, no top club would want to risk signing him despite his abilities on the pitch.

I'd want to see him join the Saudi's or that of the top clubs in MLS league possibly Inter Miami bit I don't,  these are just speculations made.
I can agree he is Injury prone but the doping scandal has no such reduction on his reputation. I solid club would even want to work with him. Didn't you see how France national team missed him during the European championship competition? There's nothing damaged about this player,  this is just your own opinion on this great player.

It seems to me that after all these hasty dismissals it is obvious that Roma's management is messing around. Good tactical decisions and temporary improvements do not change the strategic picture - even De Rossi, with maximum luck and a convenient calendar, ended up finishing the season worse than Mourinho. I don't know what might change in Roma with the arrival of Ranieri, I repeat: Roma is a mid-table club, they need to get used to this idea.
Yes, a hasty change of coach will not be the right solution for Roma. Maybe if you look at it, it seems like the situation in Rome is really chaotic, that's why Roma is always in a hurry to fire the coach in order to get instant results. Even though this is very difficult to achieve, if Roma continues to change coaches like now, I think it will continue to worsen Roma's condition. The reason is, the new coach will of course come with a new strategy which will definitely make the Roma players have to adapt to this again. Therefore, I think that Roma will continue to experience performance instability if they continue to change coaches like now. However, in my opinion, currently Roma is trapped in this situation, so to get out of this, Roma must be able to entrust its players to one coach. So hopefully the arrival of Ranieri as the new coach at Roma can get Roma out of this quite difficult zone.

They didn't just pick a new coach, but they appointed someone who understands Italian football and I think that is a step in the right direction which will in turn yield a positive result for them before the end of the season. Claudio Ranieri is a seasoned coach who won the English premier League with Leicester city some years back and am sure with his wealth of experience he would turn As Roma into a formidable team giving the time and his employers wouldn't regret their decision of appointing him manager at this point in time.
Maybe an experienced coach can change AS Roma for better direction in the future, but one thing you forget is Serie A is different from several other leagues and here every season there is always surprise where even the lower team can increase significantly and Reaching the Scudetto, no one can really maintain stable performance and this is big challenge for Claudio Ranieri.
Anyone likes Claudio Ranieri coaching style but here he must return to understand everything from the beginning, if it works then it is very good even though I bit skeptical with all this

.....And he said, he will return to being a coach only if 2 clubs invite him, namely "AS Roma or Cagliari". ........
He has strong bond with Rome and AS Roma invitation is like an offer that can not be refused by Ranieri. AS Roma is in big crisis and Ranieri is ready to help them with a contract till the season ending. His very first tasks is to help Roma improving their performances, and ranking up in Serie A table.
Yes, of course, he has a close bond with AS Roma, besides the fact that he was born in Rome and he also played for AS Roma, even being a graduate of Roma U19, that's why, when he got the offer, he agreed to do it again. But yes, his task is actually quite heavy because he has to lift the club from 12th position, which is quite bad. However, many believe that he is able to do it like de Rossi did last season, even much better, because at least Ranieri still has more time to overhaul or re-manage the squad and his strategy more maturely, based on his experience and assessment of AS Roma's performance so far.

It's great to hear that Pogba could actually play for some other team, but I would say if any team wants to get him, at least get him for 1.5 years to make sense. He will be joining the team by January, but only get to play by march, and that's not really that much of a profitable thing to keep him playing for only less than 3 months total because most teams end their games by end of May
The more here the more rumors of the association of several clubs with Pogba. After officially becoming a free agent, there are several clubs even clubs from the EPL that are rumored to be associated with him. Even clubs like Newcastle and Man United are associated with Pogba rumors, besides also Galatasaray and Saudi clubs are also connected. And even he is always associated with the Ligue 1 club, Marseille. Well. let's see then where he will be.

What is clear is that the latest news about Pogba at the moment, as well as refuting rumors that he will be training at Man United, is as follows:

Pogba has really become a free agent officially.



There are already rumours out on the internet about his potential next team. Galatasaray rumours are getting bigger these days. It is said that they have been offered to sign him already. Do you know anything about how true it is?  Huh

I wouldn't be surprised if Galatasaray is really interested. They have drawn attention to themselves after that Osimhen loan already you know.  Grin  I wonder whether this Pogba signing will also get real soon.
Galatasaray wouldn't be a bad starting point of eventually it happens Pogba is able to secure a contract there, literally they will be needing him after osimhen exit which is in anticipation he will be the next prominent face there that will be known, only that he still remains as fit as he's has always been then that will be a really huge advantage for Galatasaray if these rumors are true. Juventus not continuing with him could be on some grounds one of which I think may be that they are seeing he's got pass his prime.

Galatasasray already got Victor Osimhen this season and we know that they had Icardi and Ziyech as well. So seems like they are becoming a proper rehabilitation centre for Europe, any player who doesn't feel fine at their club, leaves and joins to galataray and sometimes they do great and sometimes they do not do great. Like Icardi got a lot of love from the fans, but Ziyech didn't get much attention to be fair, Osimhen is just too new to decide but I am seeing people are obviously happy about it as well.

If Pogba joins and doesn't get injured and plays decently then we could see that maybe we will see Pogba get a lot of love again as well. He is not that old neither, so he could play for a few more seasons before they could end up with a good partnership together without a doubt. I am pretty sure that Pogba would be happy there but the amount of money is the important part, he was paid a lot before all of this, wonder how much he will make now.

Regarding choosing De Rossi who is believed to have a positive impact on the team, that is a management mistake.
And now if the management hopes that Claudio Ranieri can make a change, I am sure he can make a positive impact. But I hope the management must be more patient. Because the financial situation experienced by Roma will be a problem in the long term.
Maybe after the transfer market reopens, Claudio Ranieri can make a positive impact that can be felt by Roma.

It seems to me that after all these hasty dismissals it is obvious that Roma's management is messing around.

I don't know what might change in Roma with the arrival of Ranieri, I repeat: Roma is a mid-table club, they need to get used to this idea.

There is no guarantee that Ranieri will succeed in making positive changes even though indeed, Ranieri is a coach with a lot of experience and impressive trophies also in other teams. But even so, it still takes time for Ranieri to be able to make significant improvements for AS Roma. Because after all, coaches like Mourinho also ended up with a shocking dismissal at that time. Thus, then I think we cannot expect good and fast results in Ranieri, because the adjustment with some strategy changes will also probably have a negative impact on the results that AS Roma will get for the first few matches with Ranieri.

With his clubless status, of course Pogba have the freedom to determine any offer that comes to him no exception if it comes from Galatasaray later, I think Pogba reputation indeed has been damaged by the case, But that doesn't mean his performance and ability have disappeared at this time, so I think later after he finishes his suspension maybe he will find a new club and I'm quite sure if he will be a bone of contention from teams playing in non-competitive leagues such as ligue 1, the Turkish league, the Arab league and even the MLS league later, especially later, that  the teams which wants to recruit him does not need to spend money as a transfer fee.

Surprise! Surprise!

I do not think that anyone actually did not expect this. If anything this was more expected than anything else. A player who has been banned and cannot play is never going to be under contract. So, of course, they had to take this decision and I think this is going to be good for both of them. Because I am pretty sure now other clubs like the clubs from Saudi League are going to approach to get Paul Pogba under contract. As he is a free agent and Muslim superstar I think Saudi clubs are going to be looking to get him more.

As far as I know, the ban is active when he is only praying for Europe. But of course, correct me if I am wrong. Actually, it is very stupid to think that he is going to come after he has served his 4-year ban and suddenly play like he is in his prime for top clubs. So he has to get the bag as soon as he can before his career ends.

I don't think Galatasaray will be interested to him in such a condition where Lyon could be a good option for him but unfortunately, they got handed a transfer ban and relegated to Ligue2.

So, we should probably expect to see him join a team for at least 1.5 seasons to make it worth it, otherwise it is not going to be all that ease to handle and we are going to see this being a very difficult situation for the team. Pogba also would rather stay for long term, after such a chaotic period on his life, I would guess that it would be better for him to have some stability. People should remember that he didn't take like steroid and buffed up, this dude was injured and during his recovery just used stuff his trainers and doctors gave him, so he is still a decent footballer who will probably not face these again.

In terms of experience and achievements, of course Claudio Ranieri is better than Ivan Juric and De Rossi, I can say Ranieri is probably the same as Jose Mourinho who is more experienced in handling clubs so we can be a little optimistic about Roma's future performance, they must be patient in responding to the process and not rush to make decisions in firing the coach. I remember Napoli last season who changed coaches 3 times during 1 season and finally they got worse so changing coaches in a short time will make the club even more uncontrollable.
Under the leadership of Claudio Ranieri I expect things to take a new turn at As Roma because he is a veteran coach who has been at the helm of affairs in many Italian clubs in the past and he is not new to Italian football based on his years of experience in European football but the Roma board has to be patient with him at this point to ensure an effective transition at the club since so many coaches couldn't achieve that and as a result had to be shown the way out.

Roma's situation seems like that of Manchester United and until the right coach is brought in they might not experience the desired change they are yearning for but I believe Claudio Ranieri is a perfect choice for the club based on his wealth of experience and knowledge of Italian football.
Roma should be very happy that they took the bold step in getting a new coach, because no one knows what could have happened next. Claudio Ranieri will be able to improve the team's performance since he is a different coach from those average coaches that was hired initially. I hope this should be an opportunity for Roma to put themselves back together and step up their game.

This is an interesting pick by Roma, but I think considering the bad situation they are in, it is not the right time to try things out with young coaches. Ranieri has a ton of experience and he made the impossible possible with Leicester City. Everyone remembers how he won the Premier League when not in 10,000 times anyone would have come up with the idea before the season started to bet on Leicester City. Although I think there was a fan that was reported publicly to have had placed a few pounds on Leicester I think. I am not sure but I think there was something.

But whatever, Ranieri could be exactly the type of coach that Roma needs now.

This happened when Leicester City was a rather unexpected new entrant into the Premier League—not even as close to being front-runners. In that season, however, Ranieri proved to the world that sometimes football can be a place for miracles, balancing group dynamics with explicit strategy and inspiring his players to the level of fighting for and achieving the impossible; that is how Leicester City became the champions of the Premier League 2015/2016. That year will forever go down in history as one of the most powerful moments ever recorded in football.

Now, if Ranieri were to come back to take charge of AS Roma, it would certainly be quite the interesting move to see. With a great deal of experience and a reputation as a "maestro of surprises," who knows what he can bring out from the Giallorossi? Of course, the circumstances are different from the situation at Leicester, but he sure has the kind of ability to reshape a team that is on a downward spiral and probably create another remarkable story. We will wait and see what kind of steps he will bring about a revival for Roma to shine once more.

Ranieri has really returned to manage Roma after all those years.

The last time this happened was in the 2018/19 season when he was a temporary manager. But he has a bigger history of two seasons of management there like 14 years ago.  Smiley

How do you think things will go from now on? He hasn't managed the team in any game yet. But I can't wait to see what he will do. Roma really need to be saved from this horrible condition. I hope they give Ranieri good amount of time unlike what they did with De Rossi. It was a hasty decision to replace him with Juric and it cost them a lot.

Mateo Retegui is having a decent run of form with Atlanta in the Italian serie A as he is the currently the highest goal scorer in the Italian top division and also his team Atlanta in 2nd place one point behind log leaders Napoli doesn't mean it was all his effort only. Atalanta is playing as a well rounded team and also have a good manager too. Football is not played by just one one person. Despite this, I think Mateo Retegui has worked really hard to get this achievements this season.

Napoli football team played not well against Atalanta football team in Nov 3 . That was totally one handed match and Atalanta team did 3 goals in this match and one player did 2 goals in this match. We saw Lookman in full form and did two goals and made match one sided. Lookman did first goal at 10th minutes of the match and after that he did goal at 31 minutes of the match.  The passes of Atalanta were more in number and they gave 545 passes and pass accuracy of that team was 86 percent . The shots of that team were 12 in number and 3 were on target.The possession percentage of Napoli team was wonderful but that team could not win this match . Retegui did last goal of the  match and he did goal at 92 minutes of the match.

Roma management has given enough time to De Rossi but he failed to fix this team even after many changes to cover this season with his desire actually making Roma's performance even worse.

So I think Roma management's decision is very right especially now they have appointed Claudio Ranieri to be Roma's coach with all of Claudio Ranieri's experience of course it is expected to help Roma overcome the problems they are currently facing, I am quite optimistic about Roma under Claudio Ranieri's coaching.
It cannot be an easy task to manage a team as big as AS Roma and every management decision affecting the players and the fans on the large. Now, we have a new step with Claudio Ranieri as the coach who has experience more than anyone else in football; however, he has expectations with what he has in him. This basically means that we have to get behind the team during this precarious time, and let Ranieri bring structure and integrity back to the game. Based on cooperation and commitment, positive outcomes should be expected soon so that the Roma team will return to a better path in the competition.

source: Retegui named Serie A Player Of the Month for October

Mateo Retegui in his first season with Atalanta appeared very impressive he has scored 11 goals from 12 matches which made him the top scorer in Serie A for a while and also brought Atalana up to 2nd position in the standings and with this performance he was named the best player in Serie A in October. Atalanta is lucky to be able to work with him I think he will be glanced at by other clubs.
I congratulate him on the award.
I knew an Atalanta player will definitely win the Italian Serie A player of the month award for October but I was just confused who will receive it between Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman because both players have been very instrumental to Atalanta's incredible performance in October and since the start of the season. Mateo Retegui scored more goals so I think he deserves it and I would've also said same if Lookman had won it since he also immensely contributed to the team's success. I think the award will help improve the confidence of the Italian so he continues to flourish.
