Right now, De Jong is the biggest headache for Barcelona they want to offload him, but there are few transfer issues which are not solving and players don't want to leave the club without solving them, which is his right.
Arrears are needed to settle as they already committed with player at the transfer time but now trying to cut this all is surely not good for reputation of club like Barcelona if they end this all with mutual understanding then surely he is ready to join Chelsea which could be big financial win for them, and they can do much better things with this all.
Memphis Deepay is also in limelight right now and Juventus is also in direct talk with this player which mean currently their main focus is bringing their salary bill under control which is surely creating serious trouble for some time.
I think the problems with Frankie De jong is something that can be sorted out amicably between both parties, you cannot just ask a player to leave without plans of setting wages owed to him in arrears, it doesn't even feel right. The club has to settle this debts before asking him to leave. I read something at one point about De Jong wanting to sue the club I don't know how true that is but I think it is a good idea maybe this issue has to be settled in court and resolved amicably. |

It’s unrealistic that they, Manchester United have spent the majority of the summer chasing Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong and still have not gotten him, while the midfield need blistering after the two alarming results. They really need to bring in someone.
MU has enough time to give offer for another player but it seems like it doesn't even care with the fact that de jong already rejected MU so many times. It keeps focus on dejong while there are so many capable players other than de jong. This becomes a big home work for this club, it seems like that if all of transfers that happened didn't even go so well. MU needs new players that can change the situation to be even better. There are other factors besides the players they have, namely their mentality is so chaotic and it also seems that the trust between the players here is not going so well that it causes a lack of teamwork. It should be with the players they have at the moment, they have 2 wins if we look at it in terms of quality. But they really don't show it. With the two defeats now, I know attention will quickly turn to how quickly Ten Hag can turn things. There’re so many things going on with the club right from them pursuing Frenkie De Jong for an inordinate period, getting misled by pre-season results, recruiting only three players and entering August without two priority targets. I think this summer is a mash-up of Manchester United's worst summer transfer windows. They really need to do something. September 1st is about 14 days from today. And if they don't act now they have to fall on their sword. Harry Maguire is one player I think the board is forcing on Erik Ten Hag. The manager should be given the freedom to pick players of his choice because he knows the kind of players he wants in his squad that can execute his plans for the season. I think Manchester United owe Erik Ten Hag that freedom and support. |

Manchester United fans were excited about Erik Ten Hag like he was going to make all their problems go away and take them to the promised land. Yes, they had a fine preseason which probably changed their minds from making signings. The league starts and what a disappointing performance from Manchester United, 2 losses in 2 first games of the season and sitting comfortably at the bottom of the table. It will take a miracle for them to get a point against Liverpool in the weekend.

Roma dominated their game but could not capitalize on the chances they had. Roma missed too many chances to score. They have good attackers who can score goals, they have to work on their finishing to win games comfortably and also work on their defense.

Chelsea will once more raise their offer for young Everton talent Anthony Gordon to £45 million, and it is reported that the Toffees will use these negotiations to try to reunite manager Frank Lampard with a young midfielder, Billy Gilmour. These developments make Chelsea's plans for Gordon's signature to be brought to Stamford Bridge more obvious.
Antony Gordon a good choice, but the price is too high at £45 Million. But if studied more deeply, instead of spending big money on Frenkie De Jong, Antony Gordon is more appropriate. Chances of getting Gordon are more difficult because Everton will keep him. Unlike Chelsea's efforts to get De Jong, who still has a chance considering Barcelona must streamline players due to financial factors. Anthony Gordon is a young and talented player, he made an impressive start in the premier league last season and has become an important player in this Everton side. Everton will be reluctant to letting him go as he is an important player for them now and for the future so it will probably take so much convincing and an amount which will be difficult to reject to get Gordon to join Chelsea. |

Manchester united are a mess at the moment and it will be difficult to win games with the current squad in their hand. A lot has to change in the team and the club obviously and until that change happens they will be facing Liverpool next weekend I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a disaster for Manchester United.

Before the resumption of the league, I was convinced this would be the beginning of a new era for Manchester United but it looks more like the continuation of the same storyline. Even though they have managed to sign few players it still seems like nothing has changed, 2 loses in 2 games is a very disappointing start to the league and won't help in anyway as they sit comfortably at the bottom of the table.

A large percentage of the English Premier league supporters would have predicted Liverpool as favourites to win the league this season but with just 2 games into the season It feels like we will all be disappointed in the end as Liverpool have failed to get a win from two games already which is a very disappointing start. The next game will be against Manchester United and a perfect chance to change things, get a win and probably a revenge from their 4 nil lose to United in the pre season.

It is shocking to see how much Liverpool have declined in terms of performance. Even losing drawing against Crystal palace at home is shocking to me. Crystal Palace wouldn't stand a chance against Liverpool last season but Liverpool even struggled to get a goal against Crystal palace at home and a red card reducing them to 10 men which is very disappointing. Hopefully a win against United will make a difference.

Juventus are looking better shaped and strengthened this season because of the new recruitments and will be title contenders for sure. Sassuolo on the other hand after losing their key striker in this transfer window will be having a weak attack and I don't think they will be able to withstand Juventus so I think it will be a win game Juventus against Sassuolo.

Raheem Sterling was a top performer in yesterday's game, his pace was instrumental and causes so much tension to the opponents defense and his passes made it easier to get goals against their opponents. Sterling has been performing in every game he has played for Chelsea since his move to the Blues. What a good signing to strengthen the team, he will perform very well for Chelsea this season.

The game today was a tough one, although the way I expected Tottenham to play and perform today was different from the what I saw. Tottenham were a little bit sluggish in their attacking and shaky at the back, I know Chelsea fans will say they were robbed because of the controversies from a foul against Haverd that was supposed to be given and wasn't but in the end it was a very competitive game and a draw and one point each for both teams seems fair to me.

I am sorry for West Ham,they missed the penalty which could have changed the result of game,they played well but only managed to do so after they conceded the goal.Nottingam defended really well and in the end I think they deserved the victory which many people did not expect and can be considered a surprise betting result.
Nottingham Forest is a good enough team. I never imagined they would win against West Ham. West Ham is a strong enough team. And they have performed very well in the previous season as well. Nottingham Forest's defenders in particular played very well. West Ham has lost their first two matches. They will play against Brighton in the next match. I Hope West Ham will be able to get points in the third match. Nottingham Forest have shown good character and determination coming into the league, they will be disappointed with the outcome of their first game but came back stronger with an important win against a very strong side, good play from them and I expect more games like this to come to keep them in the league. Chelsea played well against Tottenham, they showed determination but Tottenham showed resilience to the end and got a point away at Stamford Bridge which is a good result for them. |

Real Madrid have been great so far, very organized and composed from the back to their attack, the players understand themselves so well and show great team work in every game and the chemistry between Vinicius and Benzema is amazing, infact I don't think Almeria will stand a chance against Real madrid, an easy win to Madrid is my prediction.

Today's London derby game was indeed thrilling, both teams fought so had to secure a point. Chelsea seem to be the stronger side today, they showed much composure and controlled the game well, its disappointing they couldn't get all 3 points today because Tottenham showed great resilience against the home team and secured a point from the game, it was a very competitive game with lots of action and controversies that's why I love derby games.

David DeGea is aged now and I think its time to get a suitable replacement for him, I even heard he doesn't see fine when it's sunny. If this is true then obviously the coach will also be aware of this and opted to start him on a very sunny day which was a poor decision. A lot of players need to be sent out and bring in new and talented players to fill vital positions. If they want to revive the season that is the solution they have a lot of dead woods in the team and need to be removed and replaced.

Barcelona are still battling with financial crisis in the club, which has resulted to them selling out some of their assets to raise funds to cover expenses in the club. Good a thing they have surplus players in some positions and are opting to cashing in with those players who are surplus to required amount of players at each position. Obviously, Depay was important to the team after the January window but it is so unfortunate and necessary that someone has to be sold and it's a pity it has to be him, that is how football work you can be important today and listed to be sold in the next window.

The game against Brentford was very humiliating having to conceive 4 goals against to a championship promoted side in addition to losing vital 3 points at home in front of the fans, its was so humiliating for the home fans and coming to think that they will be facing Liverpool next weekend even makes it worse lol!. If Brentford can get 4 goals past David DeGea and Manchester United on their home ground, what will Liverpool do to Manchester United. I'm just thinking out loud though.

Napoli has successfully hijacked Tottenham player Tanguy Ndombele and he will be in Napoli with loan for one year contract and at the end of this season Napoli had an option to permanently thevstatus of this player however Ndombele was linked to AC Milan before even since January Paulo Maldini has putting him into Milan watchlist but seems Ndombele has more interested moved to Napoli than Milan
It is a good move and good signing for Napoli, we have witnessed similar deal hijacking this summer...these teams have no chills, they are going all in for players of their choice and doing everything possible to get their targets. I'm sure Ac milan have other alternatives to the deal. A loan and option to buy seems to be a good deal for me, his performance will have to determine if he will be signed on a permanent basis at the end of the season. |

The way some clubs value their players this days is really shocking, Fofana is a real talent he is a very fine centre back, he is strong, he's got the height, he is skillful, and also good moving forward but he is so young and not so proven for that amount he is valued at. Although Chelsea have the money to get the deal done but they also have other players they want to sign before the end of the window which becomes a problem spending that much on a centre back, we will see how it turns out in the end of the window.
