Indeed the price tag was much but mudryk as at then worth the amount. Arsenal really needed him but they just couldn't pay for him.  I wouldn't say they left the deal because he didn't worth it.  They are successful cases like that which concerns clubs like Manchester city,  Manchester united, Liverpool and Chelsea. This are the England clubs that can pay any amount to bring in their choice players, not Arsenal. Arsenal are always concerned with buying cheap players and grooming from Academy. Mudryk worth wasn't the only factor.

Indeed, the news of Gundogan's departure to Barcelona was so sudden that Manchester City began to take swift steps to make an offer to Declan Rice. But before Gundogan left, Manchester City had already gotten Kovacic, who was likely to become his replacement. But if you talk about Pep Guardiola's thoughts, of course he will do everything as long as the options are open and therefore it seems that Manchester City is finally following Arsenal's steps to be able to get Declan Rice.

It's true that talks with the team's coach could be an added value and as far as I know Declan Rice is closer to Pep Guardiola. Well, it seems that this transfer is really tough for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta will once again have to let go of his previous catch if West Ham finally chooses Manchester city's offer.

This is just my personal opinion, with Todd Boehly's decision to recruit Mauricio Pochettino as Coach and Chris Nkunku from Leipzig, then sell Kai Havertz to Arsenal, Kalidou Koulibaly to Al Hilal, Eddie Mendy to Al Ahli, Hakim Ziech to Al Nassr, Matthew Kovacich to Manchester City, and Mason Mount to Manchester United. Will the forerunner of Chelsea not be able to get up next season, the main pillars of the team are all replaced, new players who have minimal contribution and are difficult to connect with each other should be sold. no matter what the players being sold are connected to each other, it's just that the coach wasn't quite right last season.

Will this make Chelsea regret again when they released core and good players, for example M. Salah and Kevin De Bruyne have not played well after being brought in after being sold to Man city and Liverpool. Chelsea made a bad decision and ended up regretting it because in their new team they could be very good.

So far see the progress of the EPl teams. it looks like the 2023/2024 EPL competition is a much tougher competition, with the rise of newcastle, the rise of liverpool, and the increased strength of Man city and Man united. I think there are still four clubs that will dominate the top four in the English league later, namely Man united, Man city, liverpool and the dark horse newcastle.

Well, so many speculations of Westham Midfielder Declan Rice. In my own view, he'll be a better signing for Arsenal or Manchester United including Chelsea. Manchester City has Rodri and also Kalvin Philips who joined from Leeds United last season. There'll obviously be no chance or enough space for him to play. I mean enough game time.

With the absence of Thomas Partey soon, he'll serve as the potential pivot for Arsenal. For Chelsea, if the deal between Caicedo and Chelsea sinks, Rice can be a good partner in midfied with Enzo Fernandez and whoever they have to play the attacking midfieder position.
Man United?
I don't fancy him, but he has height and knows how to intercept and tackle very well, but if Erik Ten Hag wants him, who the hell am I? Lol. I'd champion a move for France international Rabiot over Rice.

The race to get rice from westham become even more interesting from time to the time.

It has been reported by romano if manchester city has joined in the competition to get him from westham.

Im very happy manchester city makes a move for him. As far as i know that if manchester city has been offering first offer for westham which is having the same value as arsenal.

Manchester united is also preparing to join in the competition to get him as the club is ready to offer two players + cash for westham. I think that arsenal gonna be lose in this game. I see the chance for arsenal to get him is quite small at this moment. Westham was very happy caused by city joined in the race to get declan rice.

Yes, I think everyone already knows about Haaland and the quality of play he has. Nunez is a potential player for Liverpool but indeed these two players cannot be compared, and if indeed compared, Haland's performance is far above Nunez as you say. I think the end of the Premier League last season was enough to prove that Manchester City can always win full points compared to Liverpool, who appeared inconsistent and could be said to be bad. Haaland always has an important role as a goal machine in every match for Manchester City, who always dominates the win. Nunez is a potential player who has sharp performances, but he can't get anything with Liverpool, maybe because Liverpool is not the club that suits him so his performances seem inconsistent and indirectly it seems that he is having difficulty adapting to his new environment.

Ilkay Gundogan really seems to be leaving Manchester City this season. Man City has actually tried to defend the captain. But it seems Ilkay Gundogan wants to get a new challenge in another league. And Gundogan's goal is now clearer, namely to Laliga and more precisely based on the news I read that Gundogan seems to have agreed to leave Man City and will join Barcelona. And Gundogan seems to have met Xavi (Barcelona coach) first. And have made a deal. I think Barcelona were very lucky because they got Ilkay Gundogan. Barcelona already has many great players and with the addition of Gundogan, Barcelona will be even stronger. I hope Man City can find a replacement for Gundogan with other great players. And currently Man City itself is also hunting for many great players. and I believe Man City can always get another great player.

Haaland has got a stable squad. And got an experienced coach. Every Manchester City player is very helpful. The bond between the players is very good. And so Haaland has no problem adapting to this team. He has been able to adapt easily to City's players and has consistently put in good performances. On the other hand, Liverpool's scenario is completely opposite. The performance of this team was very poor in the last season. And for a long time, they were not even in the top 10 of the points table. Nunez could not adapt to this group due to the unstable condition of the whole team. And so I won't blame Nunez for his poor performance this season.

As a scorer, Haaland is head and shoulders above everyone else now plus City are dominating and Liverpool had a very bad season so I don't think it makes sense to compare them. If next season Liverpool is normal, then perhaps Nunez will even compete with Haaland for the top 1, because despite the fantastic start and many records, Haaland scored only 6 goals more than Kane, who plays for the miserable Tottenham.

West Ham United just need to play productively in order to benefit tremendously from the Declan Rice development. The Englishman is Arsenal's priority in the transfer window, but I'm still wondering what's holding them back, they want the player, they should go for him despite the significant price tagged on him, he's worth it because he had a superb performance this season, they should hurry because they've already missed out on potential players in previous transfer windows, and letting Declan Rice swift out of their hands would be a huge loss for them, as for the cityzens, before they signed any player, Pep Guardiola needs to be 100% assured that he needs this particular player and they always spend wisely.

With Mudryk it was the fee being little over the top for Arsenal so they left the race for him. In Rice's race, the most  crucial thing was Gundogan's decision to stay or leave and now that he is reported to be leaving, City is joining the race as *expected*. Rice is open to join any club so it is going to be bidding war between the clubs interested in him which are Arsenal and Man City as of now. But we all know how deep City's pockets are so if they are really after this player then Arsenal has lost the Rice race.

Sometimes direct talks with coach of the interested teams can also sway things towards the club so both clubs might try to do that as well. For Arsenal I think they might leave the race if at any point they feel like the fee West Ham are asking is not actually going for.

I can't blame Arsenal for the Declan Rice and Mudryk situation.
For Mudryk, he was just not worth what Shakhtar Donetsk were asking. There was no way in hell any club in Europe other than Chelsea would have bought Mudryk for about 90million. That's crazy. His market value was around 45 million but Arsenal were willing to offer around 60 million and I feel that's a fair offer. That was very bad business from Chelsea.
Manchester City are not known for bad deals but they might be making one if they go ahead and sign Declan Rice for anything higher than 80 million (he's not even worth up to that by the way) because they still have Rodri who is currently the best DM in Europe right now and the have Phillips are a back up. Rice, as good as he may be is a totally unnecessary signing for City.

According to reliable sources, Declan Rice doesn't mind going to either Arsenal or Manchester City, what would decide the club he moves to is how talks progress between West Ham and the two clubs respectively. Arsenal have sent two bids to West Ham which have both been rejected, City are yet to make any official bid, but we know how strong they are financially; thus i'd not be surprised if City make just one bid to West Ham and it'd be accepted. The hierarchy at City know how to do good business and they might beat Arsenal to the signing of Declan Rice, just as they did to them to win the EPL title last season.

I cannot ignore the fact that Nunez's transition to Liverpool has been far from seamless. Haaland's success at Manchester City starkly contrasts with Nunez's struggles. But to blame Nunez alone for this would be unfair. Football is a team sport, and the performance of one player is significantly influenced by the overall team performance. I think the team's declining performance was a major factor in Nunez's difficulties in finding his footing. But this was only his first season, and judging him solely based on this would be premature. Nunez is a player of significant quality, as his past performances indicate. I strongly believe he will bounce back in the next season and make a valuable contribution to Liverpool.

That is because both Manchester City and Chelsea are much stronger financially and can make better offers.

But the best part about Mudryk now is that he chose Chelsea and it was only the right decision for the money, but pursuing goals with his team has now come to a temporary end whereas Arsenal played a highly exciting season. But all the players first look at the money, then decide. But I think that Arsenal has better chances this time when they would compete with Chelsea for a new player because Arsenal has the better prospects at least in the short term. So maybe money does not win always.  

Arsenal has made several offers to West Ham to get the services of Declan Rice, but in the second offer again and again the Gunners have been refused, this is because the transfer fee is considered unable to meet the conditions given by West Ham, the offer that was made offered by Arsenal, namely 90 million euros and on the other hand West Ham wants the release of Declan Rice worth 100 million euros. In my opinion, this is quite excessive for West Ham because, with this very high price, it is certain that several clubs who want to bring in Declan Rice will most likely prefer to look for other alternatives. True, apart from that, there has now been the latest news regarding Manchester City's plans which are reported to be not going to give up on being able to get Declan Rice's services, and I heard that The Citizens will make an offer that exceeds Arsenal and will continue to try to be able to get him. I think it looks like Declan Rice will really anchor at Manchester City and it is certain that The Citizens' performance in the Premier League next season will be sharper if Declan Rice manages to join.

It was really unlucky for Arsenal to face after they were very sure that they would be closer to being able to get Declan Rice but their rivals last season, namely Manchester City, also did not want to lose to securing Declan Rice's services. Arsenal previously experienced the same thing last winter when they wanted to bring in Mudryk and were one step away from getting it, but that's where Chelsea moved in with a fantastic offer that made Mudryk finally choose Chelsea over Arsenal.

I can't understand why Arsenal's plans have to be tripped up by other teams if Declan Rice later transfers to Manchester City. However, the competition for Declan Rice has only just begun and now it remains only for the player to decide which club to play for next season.

Unquestionably Mohamed Salah has had a positive impact on Liverpool and his outstanding performances have greatly aided the team success. However as football is a team sport where joint efforts matter it would be wrong to credit Salah alone for Liverpool improvement. While the management acknowledges Salah significance and attempts to offer assistance consideration and resources to all significant players it is critical to avoid giving anyone undue preferential treatment that could interfere with team cohesion. The team fifth place performance in the 2022–23 season was a communal accomplishment and it is important to recognise everyone achievements. A healthy and competitive environment where each player may continuously develop and contribute to the success of the team is fostered by striking a balance between treating everyone equally and recognising individual talent. The management of Liverpool works to foster such a climate appreciating Salah contributions alongside the team collective efforts as a whole.

Ricardo Pepi is still very young, now he is only 20 years old and his performance is also not consistent, it is very risky to expect more from a young player like this.
Liverpool are on a downturn and what happened last season was very bad for this team and to overshadow next season they will improve a lot but I don't think Ricardo Pepi is the right solution.
since being left by Mane last season and this season Firmino also left there has been no suitable replacement in the Liverpool team.
Gakpo and Nunez did not put in the best form in their first season.

It does look like Manchester City are working on a bid for Declan Rice. They have strongly joined the race to sign him, alongside Arsenal. This Manchester city news can only mean two things, Manchester city are more dead serious than Arsenal about Rice or westhan know Arsenal really wants to buy Rice but dilly dallying and a news about Manchester city coming with a bid could speed things up. These things aren’t cast in stone. But I feel the ball is still in Arsenal's court. Rice still prefers to join them. West Ham wanted a bidding war and now they have it. Arsenal will need match whatever bid Man City put forward.
