Barcelona fell a lot because they started to think that they needed to put only young players in the team and as a consequence of that wrong decision many good players will leave Barcelona. I hope Liverpool don't make this big mistake. salah played 32 games last season and scored 18 goals, that is a great contribution to liverpool, if they sold salah then they would be taking the risk of having a new player who would only score 10 goals, see the case of anthony gordon who scored 35 games (he played more games than Salah) and only scored 11 goals. Liverpool wants to win the title, they cannot afford to sign new players who score few goals, because that would mean that Liverpool would not even finish in the top 4.

Since Manchester United couldn't get good results in the last season with Ten Hag they decided to keep the coach and hire more -layers to get the team improved and this will be easier for them since they won't need to make big changes in the team.
Now it seems Manchester United hired Joshua Zirkzee the player of Bologna for five years.
They will pay 42.5 million euros for three years for this Dutch player.


 

Pochettino was going to do things differently and he was getting the job done until he got sacked, I believe Chelsea would have been much stronger before next season if he had continued with the club and now the new manager of Chelsea can't start from where Pochettino left off but he'll start up another build up of the team and is going to take time to do so. I get pissed to see Chelsea going about signing anybody they see and mind how you walk if you're in London @Inwestour if not Todd Boehly is going to make you a Chelsea player, that's the thing. I feel Todd Boehly is rushing into getting the team to be great again but he forgets that it takes time to get a perfect job done.
If Chelsea was Manchester United I believe the Legends would have been blasting the poor recruitment of the team, by now they would have sit up and start getting things right, to me this is a failed project, less signing and make use of what they have.
If Todd Boehly wants his experiment to work then the scouting department and especially the medical department need to be upgraded before the season get started because it won't be nice to see the new signings and those players who haven't played like 5 games since joining the side to start complaining of injury, Enzo Maresca need to speak up if things ain't working as he wants so the fans can back him up incase Boehly pretend not to listen.

I think Chelsea really want to be in the top four next season in order to be able to play in the Champions League again, not in the top six of the standings even though that kind of target is much more realistic for the new coach and also for several players who have to continue to strive to be better. However, what you said about Enzo Maresca is also true, because if in his first season he immediately came under heavier pressure on the team management, of course this could have made Chelsea's condition worse.

So many teams were linked with Joshua Zirkzee but in the end he chose to move to Manchester United. I think Manchester United is still trying hard to form a dream squad and I hope Joshua Zirkzee can be part of that in the future. Manchester United often make mistakes in transferring players and soon the players always fail every season.

Actually, I don't know for sure what caused the red devils to experience such bad luck and I hope they are always kept away from disaster. We definitely miss the title competition, especially if there is Manchester United, the EPL will be much more tense. Next, we just have to wait for other news from the Red Devils considering that there are still De Ligt and Brahwaite who have not been confirmed to be part of them next season.

I saw this signing trending on the internet and I honestly do not know much about him. I am just simply believing that since he is young and Manchester United went for him, that means he is good. I wish my believe to be true.
Meanwhile, what position does he play? He doesn't look like a stranger, but I think Manchester United needs defenders most in order to survive this season. After defenders, then finishers.

The problem with Chelsea management is that they want instant and miraculous transformation instead of slow and steady improvement of the team. Pochettino was on the right part of improving the team until he was cut short. Let's see what Chelsea have to offer this season.

Todd Boehly believes that by changing managers every season they will be successful the following season. However, this will be very difficult to achieve. Chelsea is buying young players to compete in the coming season, and the other clubs that won trophies last season are also buying more players to improve their performance. Chelsea will not be able to win a trophy next season because other clubs are also hungry for them. Of course, Chelsea has a new manager who was successful in his former club, I believe that the Championship is a difficult league but not as competitive as the Premier League because it changes every season.

Chelsea management must be patient with the managers since it will have an impact on the player careers and the clubs. They should give Enzo Maresca enough time to avoid losing their players. If any other big club wants to sign them, they will leave because Chelsea did not have the patience that other clubs did.

A lot of the players who formed main team have left Chelsea, and now they have a difficult and probably long road ahead until they can regain their previous level. To be honest, I think that Pochettino was on the right path, now Maresca will try to continue the same thing. Once upon a time, Ranieri also won the Championship and the Premier League with Leicester, but he did it with one club, and after that he could not achieve anything with other clubs, so this is a matter of chance. Boehly wants to experiment and look for a working scheme.

Marcus Rashford would be that lucky player benefitting more from this guy's signature next season. I love me a deal when both sides are directly involved into each other having mutual interest should have been the word. It feels good to see that Manchester United management are backing Erik Ten Hag and getting him the players he wants, Joshua Zirkzee would be a great addition to Rasmus Hojlund next season.
As it should be they have a good structure of hierarchies right now who can help with affairs of the football transfer window. Joshua Zirkzee would, he is a pacy player, not over hyped. I'm wishing him all the best.


I don't have all the answers to give but I know that Todd Boehly has been a part of all these issues since Abrahimovich sold the club completely.
I see that he is much after the profits he'll make in the future than the current state of the football Chelsea plays. He is more business man than he is a football minded person or whatever. I see this is how he goes about it with his American baseball and basketball team, to make profits, they'll find themselves like Manchester United over these past years if Todd Boehly fails to change his approch over stuff's like this.

You have answered the question yourself at the bottom of your reply that all these problems occurred with management or Chelsea president Todd Boehly who did not give much time to any coach who wanted to build the club even stronger.
A more obvious example is Pochettino's dismissal when this coach managed to make a very good contribution at the end of the season but unfortunately the coach was fired without any reason.
Meanwhile, all clubs need a long time to achieve a bright future to get a prestigious title like Manchester City and other clubs do, but Todd Boehly doesn't seem to have that experience so he wants something quick to get and is thinking about changing coaches at any time. can make a difference to the club.

Currently Enzo Maresca has been chosen as the new coach and this is the right choice for Todd Boehly but it depends on whether he will be retained later when he experiences a little problem and if he is retained, Chelsea will return to its glory days but if not, Chelsea will continue to experience the same thing.

Chelsea actually have players that are capable of bringing result to that club but unfortunately it’s surprising to see how some of these players performed excellently in their previous clubs but their performance decline after joining Chelsea. I don’t know if it’s the couch fault or the entire system about the club. There is a saying that Rome was not built in one day. It will definitely take Chelsea some time to rebuild the team to be on their former track but do they have that time to exercise patience. Other clubs can tolerate a manager even in their trying time but Chelsea doesn’t belong to that category despite it is not bringing them result.

I think, the players will going to miss their formal manager because it will take them a long seasons before they will begin to perform excellently like when their formal manager was there, because this new manager has a lot of work to do to make the players to showcase some positive skills that will make people to believe the team again. Based on the rumors on ground, Salah will not spend long time with Liverpool before he will join Saudi Arabia league team, because the funds the team managements agree to sign Salah is a huge amount of funds which will make Salah to change his mind soon. It will be better if Liverpool manager can start searching for potential striker that will replace Salah position when him leave the team, but it will be difficult for Liverpool to end up in top fourth next season.

Salah is currently 32 years old so it makes sense for Liverpool to sell him to make a profit. However, if for example Liverpool sells Salah in the current transfer window or next season, it is likely that Liverpool will experience a very significant decline in performance. Because as we know, Salah has always been a mainstay on Liverpool's front line, you could even say he is a senior player at Liverpool. So if Salah is sold by Liverpool, his team's performance will be quite bad. Moreover, as far as I know, Liverpool currently doesn't have a player who can really fill Salah's position (right wing). So selling Salah at this time could be said to be the wrong choice.

Because even though Liverpool bought new young players after selling Salah, I believe the results are still very speculative. So in my personal opinion, Liverpool would be better off buying one or two young players now (who have wing or front positions) without having to sell Salah. Because Salah can be a good mentor for these young players. So when Salah really experiences a decline in performance in the next few years, these young players could be good replacements.
Apart from that, I personally am very confident that Salah will definitely get a contract extension of at least 1 or 2 years at Liverpool. It is even possible that Salah will retire at Liverpool. The reason is that Liverpool is the team he has defended for more than 7 years. So his love for Liverpool must be very big right now.

I agree with you. Todd Boehly couldn't put pressure on Enzo Maresca in his first season. New coaches usually need a season or two to adapt and find the right chemistry between players. I think Chelsea's first season will not have good results. Although I hope that at least Chelsea can get a top six position in the standings. Chelsea had spent a lot of money on players in the previous season but they failed to become a star except for Cole Palmer. I haven't heard any rumors regarding Chelsea transfers this season but I hope they can be wiser in managing their finances.

Source : Joshua Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee has officially become Manchester United's first signing of the season and he has signed a 5-year contract until 2029.
I think MU was lucky enough to get a profitable deal from Bologna because MU was allowed to pay the transfer fee of 40$ in installments, meaning MU didn't bother spending a lot of money to recruit the players they needed this season.

Joshua Zirkzee performed well with Bologna last season. Hopefully his move to the Premier League will have a positive impact on the Red Devils.

As there is no news of important players leaving, Arne Slot will retain existing players.

I will not doubt him now before the season starts and see how the composition of Liverpool's game with the strategy that Arne Slot is doing, maybe there are skeptics but we will see how he steps up for Liverpool.

So far, catching up with Manchester City may still be difficult, but at least competing with the top 4 is more than enough for the new coach, even though Liverpool slumped in the standings later we must understand the coach needs adaptation with a lot of time.

So far there have been no rumors of important players in the Liverpool team leaving, including Mo Salah.
Next season Liverpool will experience difficulties with their new coach, this is very possible because the transition that occurs in a team with a new coach will not be able to maintain performance or make the team better in its first season so I think Liverpool will remain in the top 4 will be quite difficult.
Arne Slot doesn't have the experience to train a big team that competes fiercely like in the Premier League, so I doubt Liverpool next season because of that.

To see Liverpool's performance next season, we need to look at the composition of their players if they still play with the same squad as last season yeah maybe they can still compete in the top 4 the only thing we are worried about is Mo Salah moving to the Saudi Pro League so that means Liverpool have to find a replacement, as we know Mo Salah is one of the mainstay players of course it is not easy to find a replacement for this player. So far we don't know whether Mo Salah will stay at Liverpool or not.

Considering the reports about Mohammed Salah's future this time last year, I was expecting him to leave Liverpool at the end of the just concluded season but from all indications, it seems the Egyptian isn't leaving the Anfield club this summer. Last summer, few Saudi clubs were very much interested in Mohammed Salah and reports have it that he told one of them that he'll leave of Liverpool will allow him go but the club management didn't give a go ahead to that deal which was why it didn't work out again.
Now recent reports also have it that another Saudi club is seriously interested in signing Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian winger if you ask me have gone past his peak so moving to the Middle East country where he'll earn a lot of money in his last years as a professional footballer I think will not be a bad move for him.

I totally agree with you about his abilities of getting double digits in terms of goals but let's face the reality that Salah isn't the Salah of 2-3 seasons back, injury has gotten the best of this player and no matter how you see him as the best player someone will still come and he (Salah) will have to serve the team from the bench, is time to let go and start up a new chapter, if Liverpool continue to rely on Salah I don't see them doing well when he's not around maybe due to injury or possibly not in form. Liverpool need to try something new, fine he's their best player but for how long will he carry the load of the team on his shoulders? To me this is the right time and it would be bad to see him sit on the bench while a teenager is on the pitch as a replacement.
At the moment of Saudi chasing to get Salah, Liverpool never had that chance of getting any player till this very moment and it would have been a poor decision if they had let him go but now they have options to get into the market and get players to start up a new project with.
I must say that Diaz wasn't a replacement for Mane, sometimes it mustn't be that when a player leaves the next is coming to replace him, no, things had to be done in a different way to make the team a bit different from when someone left and when a new player comes in. For Gordon I believe the position doesn't matter, as long as he gives the team his best he's good to go and with time Salah's presence won't be felt in the team.
