You are completely right about Ittihad's behavior. They've put a lot of money and time into their team, so they should be one of the favorites. But in football, as you rightly said, it's not just about the stars; it's about the team as a whole. Right now, Damac's position just shows that they work better together. In football, teamwork is like well-oiled gears: everything needs to work together. There's more than one or two players involved. Ittihad seems to have missed this message with all the money they spend. They should get together, work together, and play like the team their budget says they are

I couldn't agree more. Ittihad's investment in players and resources should indeed make them strong contenders, but the essence of football lies in teamwork. Damac's current position reflects their cohesion on the field. It's not just about individual stars; it's about how well the team functions as a unit. Ittihad may need to reevaluate its approach, focus on teamwork, and ensure that its high budget translates into effective collaboration on the pitch.
Even though ittihad has made a lot of investments but it's not yet working. I meant to look at the current position of al ittihad. It was not able to keep up with al nassr and al hilal. I could call that if all investments being made by ittihad was failed.
It's caused by the current positions have been reflecting how good the investmens being made by al ittihad. All of the money spent by the club become useless since there was a lot of problems are happening int he club.
Al ittihad is struggling with its performance and it takes a very long time to build a proer chemistry again. Even al ittihad sack its coach due tot he requested from benzema to did it.
The star player think he can control the club whatever he wanted as he has been more experienced in the football.

Real Madrid has now topped the La Liga points table by beating Girona. Real Madrid took the top spot with a win over Alavés, this match was really exciting from the start especially in the first half. There was no goal from the beginning to the end of the game, tried and attacked that aimed but failed to succeed. However, at the end of the game in the 90+2 minutes of the loss time, Real Madrid managed to score a great goal and they won the match against the opposition team. Moreover, the game was made even more exciting in the 54th minute when a Real Madrid player was sent off after receiving a red card. Nacho Fernandez was sent off after a red card and Alavés then had plenty of chances to score, but Real Madrid kept the game exciting. However the game was interesting between the two teams going into the final time with Real Madrid winning by a goal and going top of the points table.
Last night game was totally out of line for Los Blancos and Gironistes. Real Madrid escaped with a narrow 1nil victory against Deportivo Alavés while Girona was held to a draw tie against Real Betis. Real Betis headcoach, Manuel Luis Pellegrini Ripamonti is doing an exceptional job in Estadio Benito Villamarín this season. Though they're not in the top standings but they can boldly bragged about going undefeated against these top contenders for the La Liga titles. Sharing points with Real Madrid and Girona. They're underestimated but deep down, they're comprehending the main elite clubs in La Liga which everyone knows.
Girona had a disappointing outcome in their recent match, which unfortunately gave Real Madrid the opportunity to overtake them for the top spot. Real madrid is also facing the same situation like girona. I meant girona was struggling to win against betis but real madrid was able taking three points from alaves even though it needs wait till the additional time. Glad to see that real madrid was farmng another three points from alaves which was making the club to be even better than before. Real madrid is reading the competition right no. Girona was underestimating its opponent and that's why it has gotten draw against betis.
Betis was one of strong club but people are not seeing it as a strong club. The team we are discussing, just like Osassuna, has consistently proven to be a formidable opponent for big clubs, causing them to struggle in their attempts to win. Real madrid was not missing an opportunity to take three points from alaves.
It's quite disappointed real madrid won against alaves with narrow score but three points are far better rather than getting nothing against it. It's really amazing performance from alaves to prevent real madrid to score a lot in the match.

I still don't believe Lorient will continue to slump in the relegation zone and the previous heavy defeat against Brest continues to worsen their position. Lorient can only collect 12 points in 2023 and from 17 matches they have 2 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats. This is in contrast to the quality of their performance last season, which managed to appear quite consistent and finish in the top 10 of the standings. I don't know whether they can survive this season or not. It is clear that competition will continue to increase to be free from the relegation zone. However, it is clear that Lorient must be able to recover and be able to emulate what Lyon has done by successfully getting out of the relegation zone since the start of this season.
It's not even surprising me by seeing that if brest was the opponent from lorient in the previous match. It means if lorient has no chance to win against it. Im only saying it caused by brest was fully dominating the match without giving lorient chance to do counter attack.
Lorient is only making 3 goal attempts and squandering all the chances for nothing. Lorient and Clermont are essentially similar in terms of their performance, and it is highly likely that both of these clubs will face relegation due to the lack of improvements.
Either of them has made good improvement. This is really bad for them to be relegated soon.

We already heard this rumor since the previous transfer window but Osimhen never moved to Real Madrid. I think it will depend on the money offered by Real Madrid and how much money that Napoli management expected. In some media, it is stated that Napoli wants more than €200m. But Real Madrid doesn't want to pay that huge amount of money, they think it is too expensive.

Sure, it is not the right place to go to Chelsea. It is better to move to Arsenal or Liverpool if Osimhen wants to play in EPL. Arsenal and Liverpool always join the race for the title in the last few seasons. Osimhen can lead them to win the trophy of EPL. I assume Arsenal or Liverpool are very urgent to have a sharp striker like Osimhen.
Difficult reach agreement deal for signing Osimhen because Napoli won't let his player go if transfer values under 150 million euro and most crazy values if Napoli want 200 million euro for any teams interested with Osimhen. I don't think not only Real Madrid but also many teams linked interested for signing Victor Osimhen won't pay more than 200 million euro for signing one striker and prepare waiting his contract will be expiry and get it lower values or become free agent without spent money yet.
The main problem was not in osimhen but napoli. I meant if napoli demands a lot of money for him but it's not even stright with the quality owned by the striker. Osimhen is over priced if napoli will give him 400 millions as his price tage.
Many teams linked to him but newcastle was the only club that has sent official bid even though it has been rejected by napoli but newcastle is the only club that was showing its intention to get him.
Other clubs are only seeing it without do nothing. I would like to call them have no intention to get osimhen's signature.

I think right club for Victor Osimhen if want to play with Premier League is Liverpool or Arsenal, both teams have good potential compete on the top position and seems next season Liverpool get opportunity for playing in Champion League than Chelsea with inconsistency performance and their current standing outside from top fourth.
Those clubs are not the right club for osimhen caused by he will not be leaving from serie a. He will stay till his contract is going to be expired. It's a common thing to linked him to the various clubs but we have bunch of confirmations regarding the future of him.
That being said that if osimhen intend to extend his contract much longer than before. Im thinking about he will leave after his contract will be running out. He has no plan to leave from napoli caused by he like to stays much longer.

I still think that this game is a 50:50 thing between AS Roma and Feyenoord. Feyenoord is playing solid so far, but it is not something that is shockingly impressive. Roma should not be underestimated, especially not when Feyenoord plays away from home. It should be considered that AS Roma plays in a league that is more difficult than the Eredivisie.
Both teams are literally average and almost equals in strength but I think Roma have got a better dept but feyenoord has got a very good stamina and definitely a good form aswell, back in their various domestic leagues, feyenoord is at the second spot in their domestic league table having lost only one out of their recently played five games.

Roma is struggling at the eighth position with 25 points having lost only one and drew two and won two out of their last five recently played games in their domestic league, Roma has been characterized with too many inconsistency in their performance both in the Europa and their domestic league so most definitely they can still be seen as an average team so it's a difficult match to predict the possible outcome, feyenoord crashed out of the champions league and I think they will want to make sure to get something out of the Europa league.

Yes but Roma is almost used to struggling so to say and last season they have been struggling as well and yet they made it into the final of the Europa League with their ugly strategy. Their game is not about being good, but about making everything about the game bad, it is the Mourinho strategy and that makes their opponents lose patience sometimes.
As long as the club will be winning the game and it doesn't even matter. Watching roma's gameplay may be very boring but winning the game is the main target by mourinho. Mourinho has no choice other than used that boring strategy since roma doesn't have quality players on its side.
Mourinho did the right thing by try to use ugly strategy against a team that is always playing offensively. Remember that this ugly strategy was very effective when it against barcelona or other team that has similar gameplay.

So if I had to choose one team as a favorite, I would also see Feyenoord being slightly ahead, but for me it is not enough to clearly call one team here the favorite and the other team the underdog. Calling Roma an underdog sounds wrong to me.
Im calling that roma has beaten feyenoord several times. It doesn't even make sense as a better and we will take feyenoord for this. In fact, everything is still hard to predict but roma statistically win compared to the feyenoord.
I was calling roma to win the game even with narrow score. Mourinho will be showing the who is the boss in this match.

I think there is no point in making a bid yet as both sides are waiting to see how Osimhen develops over the coming months. Napoli is of course hoping that he will soon continue to score all the time and that would give them a better position for any negotiations. But who knows, maybe some clubs have their eyes on him and wouldn't be sad if he doesn't do too well until they can come up with a smaller offer than what was initially asked as a transfer fee. But the question is whether Osimhen is good enough to strengthen a top team. I don't know. He is a good striker, but is he world class?

How many strikers are better than Osimhen in Europe presently? Harry Kane, Halland, and Mbappe (if you'd include him as a striker) are the strikers that are above Osimhen in Europe. So how do you want a striker to perform before he can be rated world-class?
Osimhen in a top team will score goals the same way he's scoring at Napoli as far as the chances the chances are provided.
Where he might have a problem is going to a team that struggles to create chances.

Any team that wants to sign Osimhen should start bidding now. He's going to be among the hot players in the market this summer and a team that doesn't prepare won't be able to sign him.
Mbappe's posiiton was winger but he can also play as a striker but his performance is not that good. I would not mention mbappe since he played better once he was being a winter instead of striker. That depends on the decision from napoli.
Several teams have been sending their bids to get him but since napoli is not willing to seel osimhen and it will be obviously useless. I remember when newcastle send 100m bid for him but napoli rejected it easily without even try to re-think about it.
I think that it's clear if osimhen is not willing to play for other club. he likes to stay in napoli much longer than before. Idk what motivation that makes him think like that instead of try to get a new challenge for his career.


Osimhen was not that good as a striker caused by his inconsistent performance is the problem that prevents him from scoring. Osimhen this season is very different compared to the last season.
It will be so dumb if there will be a club is willing to buy him with non sense amounts of money. Buying osimhen is considered as a gambling for the club. No guarantee if he can play as well as when he was at the napoli.

Probably Dortmund losses points against weakness teams and I doubt with their performance will get three points when facing with top teams standings. For several matches later, Dortmund will face as not strong teams but if losses points again they will loss opportunity with Champion League spot standings in next season and Europe League spot seems realistic target regarding Dortmund performance.
Yes, they really have lost that opportunity.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, the competitors continue to consistently get full points from their matches with satisfactory results. There is no doubt that Leverkusen's performance is increasingly stable and excellent. He is increasingly able to compete and maintain his position in 1st place in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen's 4 - 0 win over Bochum was truly satisfying. His attacks are very effective and put a lot of pressure on his opponent. So it is difficult for Bochum to get opportunities to reach the target. Apart from that, Bayern also got full points from their match this time. Even though it is only 1 goal different from its opponent, at least Bayern Munich still got the expected results.

Impressive result from leverkusen

70% ball possessions
8 goal attempts
4 goals
Bochum was not a worthy opponent for leverkusen. I would see that game as a training session for leverkusen instead of a real match to get three points. Leverkusen is still at the top right now but bayern has 1 remaining match.
Bayern can be very close to the leverkusen. Bayern munich may able to surpass leverkusen soon. Im feeling very optimistic with it.

Leverkusen may able to reach another peak again. Xabi's club played so crazily against its opponent. Im favoring leverkusen to win the bundesliga title this season.
We are sitll have so many matchdays remaining till the end of season. Xabi must push the mentality from the club to keep perform consistently. I do like the condition of this season.

We have more clubs can be even more competitive to compete with the major clubs for the title race.

I think there's no need to discuss about Barcelona vs Napoli and Arsenal vs FC Porto, it's a sure win for both Barcelona and Arsenal, Napoli and FC Porto aren't that good compared to last season.
Arsenal has been inconsistent in the past, which is why there is uncertainty surrounding their ability to defeat Porto. These clubs are equal and it makes sense to talk about them. Additionally, I am concerned about the financial condition of Barcelona because it will have a significant impact on the club's performance.
Barcelona has confirmed to sell some players.

What I think we need to pay attention is PSG vs Real Sociedad and Inter vs Atletico Madrid, I believe most people will think PSG and Inter will win since both of them were strong in the last season, but I believe this time Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid able to prove themselves even though they're underdog.
Sociedad was as strong as inter. Since last season, Atletico Madrid has opted for minimal changes to its lineup. It seems you are going all in la liga teams right now. I would pick intermilan over atletico madrid.
Im still questioning the performance from sociedad against french club. PSG was strong enough and i think psg has bigger chance to win gainst sociedad.

I hope Manchester United will repeat the same scoreline we saw tonight.


manchester united that needs to be improved is the communication of its coach with its players, not continuing to buy expensive players who are always over rate or expensive.
Now who is still noisy with eric ten hac, jordan sanco has not even been allowed to participate in training in the first team, casemero is also reportedly on the sale list, there is also varane.
If the coach's communication is not in order, buying and selling expensive players again, the same result is just a fuss again selling again.
if not improved bad results in each match will always follow

Considering the lack of cooperation from the coach towards the players, it becomes difficult for the players to establish a strong bond and build a good chemistry with the coach. I have seen that ten hag has been involving in the conflict against its opponent and yeah ten hag was the main problem.
Manchester united has been confirming 4 names to be listed in the market for sale. Casemiro has not been including in the future plan of ten hag. This is the main reaosn manchester united has tried to get rid of him from the club.
Ten hag doesn't need him anymore. One of the primary reasons why Casemiro was included in the list of players to be sold by the club is this. Ten hag has been lining up some names to be recruited by the club. The main issue if manchester united has no money to buy all of them.

Ten hag needs more money to rebuild the club again. Selling many players as soon as possible is crucial for Ten Hag, and this is the main reason why. Ten hag have to replaced all of those guys with the new players that may able to perform better.

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.

Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.

- Jay -
It is a pity that Barcelona struggled to beat Almeria who has not won any of their matches in La Liga this season, and Almeria even scored 2 goals against Barcelona yesterday. If Barcelona continues like this they will not qualify for the quarter-final of the Uefa Champions League.
It seems barcelona needs to prepare a new coach to replace xavi. Im feeling xavi will be failed to deliver some trophies this season. I think that is going to be the best for barcelont to replace him with a new coach.
There are so many issues occured to the barcelona. The main problem was with its financial condition. I meant barcelona is not having good financial and it was also making the situation becomes even worst than before. Barcelona must have sold so many players to pay various things.
The club has big debts combined with the money owe from other clubs. It comes as yet another surprise to learn that Barcelona is actually considering the possibility of selling Lewandowski to a club in the Saudi Pro League. I think that barcelona is still in a very big pressure.
barcelona was just taking the short term solution to the its financial issues but the club forgot that there will be a problem that is coming to the club in long term. barcelona needs money as soon as possible or it will be a worst situation.
Barcelona may have no good players left since club will try to put all of them for sale. The current situation is unfortunate for both Barcelona and Laporta, as it is a result of mismanagement within the internal structure of the club itself.

There's no future for decred and try to take a look at its daily volume. It was still trading on binance and it has less than 10 millions USD. It means people have been starting to leave it .

On this Saturday there is a really attracting game between Roma and Napoli. The game is in Rome so it can be seen as an advantage for Roma. However I wouldn't trust Roma much for this game honestly. Because I don't like their recent performances in the league. Probably Mourinho will choose a cautious game plan against Napoli.
Just hope there will be no strange thing like the match against frosinone by napoli. I meant look at the line up and napoli was not playing seriously in copa italia but it lookes weird that if onl a few of us are aware about that. I would rather than called that if the copa italia has been owning by some who was doing shady things. Napoli and intermilan out from copa italita. Roma can take it as an opportunity to steal three points from napoli but this is not going to be an easy game for roma.


This is the classic Mourinho in big games in the end.  Grin  Napoli are even better at scoring now as Osimhen is back. He will be their key player against Roma surely. I think both teams will score and Napoli will manage to win the game by a gap of one goal.
Osimhen is not yet performing so well and he was rarely scoring right now unlike last season when he was at his prime time. Im not even seeing napoli as a strange team right now. Its performance is always going up and down like there was something wrong with the club.
Roma needs to only use defensive strategy and waiting for the chance to do counter attack. This most likely helping roma to win the game against napoli and secure three points as the result. 

Mourinho can consider using the boring strategy against napoli.

What are the obstacles that make Lukaku will not be included in the AS Roma squad in the match against Feyenoord later, does Lukaku get a severe injury that will take a long time to recover or is there something else? Because I think, it doesn't seem to have any obstacles and yes, of course Lukaku will still be able to be played for the match against Feyenoord later.
As long as Lukaku doesn't have any major problems that prevent him from performing as you say, he will definitely always appear and be relied on by Jose Mourinho so that Lukaku is currently Mourinho's mainstay player and in the match against Feyenoord I'm sure Lukaku will still be there.
Lukaku is one of best striker in the europa league and no doubt that if he may become the main factor for roma to win the game, i do like that the gameplay of roma right now but there was also a rule that said never try to underestimate your opponent.
Feyenoord was eprforming so badly in UCL but who knows if it will able to send roma off from europa league. Just never try to underestimate your opponent to make sure your team will get the best result as some preparations being needed in the match against feyenoord.
The performance of feyenoord was not that good right now. Roma has bigger chance to win the game as long as it will always be playing consistently. Roma needs to make sure some players will be available to play.
The players like dybala or lukaku obviously needed by mourinho to make sure his club will be winning the game against feyenoord. Feyenoord was not that strong but roma needs to becareful.
Im picking roma win for the first leg to win with narrow score when it will be playing away against feyenoord.

Leipzig showed once again that they are never fit to be a consistent contender to the title as they are a very volatile team most of the time,you never know to expect of them.I did bet on them on a parlay tonight and strange enough I won all other games except them as they drew their game against Werder Bremen.This year the true fight will be between Bayer Leverkussen and Bayern Munchen and they both look very consistent this year with very few games where they have made mistakes while Leipzig together with Dortmund have made quite so many mistakes up until now,so I exclude them from the title fight this season.
I also did not see Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Dortmund as a strong title contender this season, I am only considering Bayern Leverkusen and Munich as the top title contenders because they are the only two most consistent teams in Bundesliga so far this season.

Dortmund on the other hand has started their inconsistent performance again, they open the score list with a goal by Brandt, and they have now conceded a goal just before half time, this showed that they cannot be trusted with our money as they don't worth betting on; nevertheless, they can still win the match but Mainz is battling in the relegation zone, they will try their best to win this match in order to escape the relegation zone.

Dortmund had another important three points during this season and this time they lost these points against Mainz while they could easily beat Mainz.
Compared to Mainz, Dortmund had much more control over the game and they had more opportunities in this match but they couldn't use the chances they had.
Now Dortmund is in the 5th place of the Bundesliga table with 27 points and they are far from the first place of the table.
  

Mainz played very well in this game. Dortmund has very poor defensive line. It was dominating the ball possessions, but it meant nothing for the club. In fact, dortmund and mainz have been having almost the same goal attempts being made during the game.
Dortmund has got so many chances as well but there was no proper execution that would give more goals for the club. It must be satisfied with the current result. Dortmund needs to think even better than before.

The club has small chance to enter into the race for the UCL spots. I can't deny the fact that if impossible for dortmund to win the bundsliga this season. Leverkusen keeps to defend its perfect result despite so many psywars was happening between munich and leverkusen.
Glad to see that some new clubs were coming to compete for the title race which is very good. It was making bundesliga looked like even more attractive than before.
Im really happy with this kind of situation that was pressuring any clubs to work even harder to improve their performance.

I can't even believe that barcelona is now on the same situation like what sevilla did in the last season.

Quote
Barcelona are reportedly open to offers "for all players" amid their continued financial struggles, as three stars in particular face winter exits. The inability to secure an investor increases the likelihood of Barcelona executing player sales this winter. They raised around €103 million ($113m/£89m) in the summer from the sale of Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Frank Kessie, Nico Gonzalez, Abde Ezzalzouli, and Trincao but need more funds to balance their books. Hence they remain open to listening to offers for all players.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-firesale-financial-crisis-three-stars-exits/blt25814dfb64f8a29d#csffbc8905dae18005

barcelona may go bankrupt if this club is not trying to raise some money to deal with its debt or even FFP. Glad to see that this news has proven that if barcelona has very very bad money management. This is answering my curiosity regarding the condition of club.
I have been aware since a long time ago if barcelona was rarely getting profit from selling the players. The club prefer to let them go away as free agent instead of sell them all before their contract were running out.

Barcelona is just another sevilla which has been putting all of its main players for sale. There will be no exception as long as the player can give barcelona good amounts of money.
Other team may be seeing this as an opportunity to buy barcelona players with cheap price like what happened with sevilla.

Barcelona is ready to sell a lot of its players. That's amazing, barcelona was almost bankrupt. I consider this as an urgent situation faced by the club. Becareful guys, barcelona may be bankrupt soon.  Cheesy

Manchester and Real Madrid are actually the favorites again this season, but I don't the two of them are too good enough to be finalist this season like they do last season, because so many teams are trying their best to win the Champions League, and as a team, some of them are playing well more than these two teams; all I know is that, this season will come with some surprises.
I doubt if Manchester City could be able to win Real Madrid on the finals if they both eventually qualify to the final of the game because real Madrid is a professional and more experience than Manchester City because they always win Manchester City whenever they meet them on the champions League finals, however I could remember how there last meeting on the champions league finals ended up after all the performance of Manchester City on that final but real Madrid was able to prove to them that they are more deserving to win the champions league than Manchester City, but however let's see how the end of the season will look like because with the consideration of performance real Madrid and Manchester City are the best candidate to qualify for the finals because they don't have much of a rival.

Real Madrid does have a big chance of winning the Champions League apart from Man City, but don't forget that there is also Bayer Munich who also has the mentality to become champions.
For Man City it was a bit tough, they lost several players who last season were able to beat Real Madrid with a landslide score.
But there are many underdog teams that have qualified for the last 16, which will be very interesting because it can make it difficult for some of the big teams who are regular champions.

I see Real Madrid a bit above Bayern Munich. Real Madrid has some room for improvement while they have a decent level all the time, whereas Bayern Munich has some total failures. If they have one of those in the Champions League, it would be game over for them.
Real madrid is far above bayern. The only thing that make bayern looked like a strong club was having kane on its side. We have known so well about how good harry kane as a striker, his ball controll and positioning are the best in the premier league after haaland last season. Having him in the bayern makes the club considerably strong than the last season. This is the biggest threat that was coming from bayern caused by the club has perfect squad this time. Even though real madrid is still having higher quality squad compared to the bayern.

But Manchester City isn't as stable as well. They are way more vulnerable than they have been last season. This season they have played several games where they lost dominance during the game.
Manchester city potentially lose more players soon. Im not having faith in manchester city caused by you know that if city will lose haaland and alvarez and i have nothing to say other than city will be dropping so hard.
I don't wanna see that happen but it seems like that city is going to miss another important player again from the squad. I do believe it will not happen but let's see that how pep will try to deal with this problem.
I hope city will still able to play very well without some important players.

I think Aston Villa's victory over Brentford was lucky because Brentford took the lead towards the end of the first half thanks to a goal scored by Lewis Potter. However, in the second half, Brentford lost one of their players, namely Ben Mee, in the 71st minute, which made the direction of the match completely belong to Aston Villa. Even after only playing with 10 people, Brentford's defense became weak and as a result Aston Villa managed to score 2 goals through Moreno and Watkins.
I thought that aston would be getting draw coz i have seen that once the time was almost coming to its end but the score was still draw. After i was checking it again and then aston was leading the game with two goals. It's amazing to see that how aston villa was making in the last minutes of second half.
Im sure that if people were picking aston villa would be panicked once the score was still draw and yeah aston villa was doing its job very well. Aston villa is still sitting at the third place which is very amazing to see that.

Victory in the away match with a score of 1-2 for Aston Villa and even though in the final minutes of the match they also had to lose a player due to receiving a red card, but that would not threaten Aston Villa's defense. But indeed losing Boubacar Kamara due to the red card will be quite detrimental to Aston Villa in the next match. This result also solidifies Aston Villa's position in 3rd place in the standings with the same points as Liverpool.
Im sure emery has backup for boubacar. Seeing him was getting a red card was bad but he will comeback again after he will not be suspended again from playing due to the red card.
There are some players who capable enough to replace him.

Lewandowski needs to move to Saudi or whatever place faster than he imagine, Barcelona doesnt suit good for him this season and he is becoming old. I think is a win-win transfer for everybody, for the player for Barcelona and for the Saudi league to count a new high value striker.

And how would it benefit Lewandowski if he moved to Saudi Arabia? You said he needs to do that, but what is the benefit for him? He isn't playing well in Barcelona, I agree. But he would not gain anything if he moved to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo did, because money is everything to him. But there are people with a heart in their chest, listening to it.

He can at least get money as his benefit to play in the saudi pro league. He was old and the big club will be only putting him on the bench. It will be far better for lewandowski to go to the saudi pro league instead of staying much longer in the club like barcelona.
Lewandowski can still try to express his passion in the football by playing against legendary players who have joined in saudi pro league. This is a sense of choice owned by him.

So, do you think it's good for lewandowski to be benched in barcelona due to his age? Barcelona is also willing to sell him. Then the money raised by selling him is going to be used to buy guimaraes from newcastle.
It proves that if barcelona indirectly said enough to have him in the club. I think that it's wrong to generalize anyone was joining in the saudi club due to the money.

In fact, lewandowski is starting to be a useless player there. What's the point for barcelona to keep him much longer in the club? Regeneration is a must. barcelona must sacrifice him.

Inter Milan is in its best performance after several clubs such as Napoli seemed difficult to defend last season's title. It seems that this season is Inter Milan's opportunity to win in every match in order to win the Scudetto easily, but Inter Milan is aware that they are still in the shadow of Juventus who  most likely to tackle him in the future, Juventus' performance is highly questionable, Juventus has the potential to be a candidate to win the scudetto this season, even though their concentration is often lost in several important matches, this could be a big threat to Inter Milan this season.
Inter Milan has a big chance of winning the Scudetto based on their consistent performance so far, the only club that is Inter's strongest rival in the title race is Juventus. These two teams are still on the path to becoming champions, but Inter is superior to Juventus in maintaining their performance. Inter must maintain their point advantage over Juventus so that their position remains safe. The four-point difference makes Inter a little calm because even though they lost one match, Juventus still cannot take their position.
Lautaro martinez is on fire. Intermilan is still performing so well but sometimes it's still struggle against a club that was able playing so well against it. The chance owned by intermilan to win the scudetto is very big right now.
Juventus is not losing its opportunity to take the scudetto this season. I meant if juventus is still having the same chance like intermilan to get the trophy. Juventus can only fully focusing onto get the scudetto while intermilan must have faced super busy schedules.
Juventus can take this as an opportunity caused by once intermilan's player will be exhausted and im sure intermilan is going to let some points go away from its hand.

Napoli who won the Scudetto last season, began to be eliminated from the competition due to being unable to maintain their performance. Juventus, which only focuses on Serie A, is better prepared than Milan and Napoli to provide competition to Inter, but Massimiliano Allegri must be even more serious in igniting the spirit of Juventus players to continue to provide competition for Inter who are still too strong in Serie A this season.
True and this is the main concern owned by intermilan. Intermilan is very strong but its players may be exhausted due to the busy schedules that is going to be faced by the club. I must admit intermilan is really strong right now.
The chance of juventus to take the trophy is quite small if intermilan will keep win the upcoming games, but im not pessimistic about seeing the old lady to take the scudetto this season.

Girona at the top of Laliga now, they are leading 1-0 against Alaves.

Tomorrow all of the sports news will praise about them (again), and the odds for Girona to win the Laliga getting smaller and smaller again lol.

Girona won Alaves yesterday to top the La Liga table again. If Real Madrid wants to win the La Liga trophy from Girona, they should sign a new striker when the January transfer window opens which will help them to score more goals.
Real Madrid have one of the best squads of players at the moment. Perhaps they really need someone in the attacking line. But Girona have shown that neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are a problem for them. I hope that Girona will be in the race for the leadership until the end of the season.

Real madrid is still the main problem for girona. Let's say that if the second leg match between real madrid and girona will be determining the winner from la liga and this is going to be a very important match. I remember when madrid has destroyed girona with huge margins. real madrid is always become a problem for girona, it's the only biggest threat for girona to win la liga. barcelona is performing so badly and it was already out from the title race. It makes sense if barcelona is trying to make sure if it will able to comeback into the title race again soon.
Im not expecting a lot from barcelona but being able to compete with girona and real madrid were good enough for the club.

As long as michel will have no imagination to sell his players during the winter transfer season and im sure girona will able to get the la liga trophy this season. Girona is very strong, even barcelona can do nothing against it.
Michel has been completing its job to build a good club with limited amounts of money. Girona is showing amazing performance, and this is what the big club like chelsea is needed.

A good coach. If one of two players will be leaving from the club and it's gonna be a disaster.
