In my personal opinion, it is not going to be a very good decision for Barcelona. Because even though I understand that they need a lot of money right now, I do not think they will actually be able to replace the players if they actually sell them. Let's think about this, Barcelona does sell them right now, which are the players that are of the same level as them who are going to be interested in joining Barcelona at this moment?

I don’t think there are many players like that. And even if there is, those players will also be targeted by other big clubs. And we all know from that point on, it is all about money. so I personally think it is going to be a mistake if Barcelona decides to sell them because they are a very important part of Barcelona right now. and the money is probably not going to be worth it.

As for Thomas Tuchel to replace Erik Ten Hag, I don't know what to say. I still feel like Erik Ten Hag should be given one last chance, but there's every possiblity they just want to kick him out deliberately.

Can they also kick out player's like Marcus and, Harry Maguire and Co's? People who say Bruno Fernandez also should be sold, has got to be dump in the head.

Tuchel did a really good job in his first season with Chelsea as he won the Champions League title. It was a really tough work to do with that kind of a game plan but Chelsea made it. As he has good memories with a Premier League team maybe he might do a good job with Manchester United as well who knows. He isn't a bad manager at all. 

If Erik ten Hag is given another chance then he should be given the freedom to build a better squad for next season. Because they are desperately in need of adding better players and sending the worst ones. Fernandes shouldn't be sold, it doesn't make sense. Rashford also shouldn't as he isn't a bad player actually. Maguire should definitely be leaving immediately or shouldn't be given any chance.

It's good for Barcelona, but how about De Jong? Is he interested in leaving the club to take on a new challenge in another club?I don't think so. Even though the new offer came from a big club but it does not guarantee that De Jong will accept it caused by he may be doing the opposite thing like snubs it. I recall last season's drama in which Barcelona offered him to another club but he refused, even de jong was stating that he would never leave Barcelona until the end of his contract. There is also an interesting fact that came from the Manchester united said club has agreed to buy him from barcelona. Barcelona was not only offering de Jong to Bayern, but also to Manchester United. We know that MU has always been connected to him even since last seasons. Barcelona really needs to remove him from the club in order to add the new player to strengthen the club.
Things are not easy for de Jong, given that Barcelona may be in trouble again, and de Jong will be repeating last season's problem by refusing Barcelona's offer to leave the club and forcing himself to stay in Catalan.

Man Utd have agreed to pay €90m (£77m) for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

It's not even a mistake. Barcelona has so many midfielders. Do you think club needs to keep all of em?



Xavi has urges laporta to get some money to buy the new player. That's the only chance owned by laporta to keep xavi stay in the club.

Officially CONFIRMED!!!!

Giroud will not be acmilan's player again at the end of season. He has signed a new contract with LAFC and he will fly to the US soon. This means all of rumors that was talking about him to join in the MLS league was true. It has proven by romano's latest tweet about him.

The document has completely verified by both of parties. Finally, giroud has gotten a new home to end his career as a football player. Things have been going very well for him in acmilan but since he is now getting even older and acmilan is looking for a new striker to replace him.

Im seeing this as the right decision from giroud consider about the fact LAFC is also giving him pretty good salary too. It's hard to say no for giroud with LAFC's offer when he was almost leaving acmilan with free agent.

Congrats giroud.

He did well for the French national team in the last World Cup. His Milan career wasn't bad either. He scored 13 goals in 30 league games this season. I think Los Angeles FC made a good signing. MLS will be an easy league for Olivier Giroud. Also, his countryman Hugo Lloris is there. Hugo Lloris will make it easier for him to adapt to the team. Olivier Giroud is not a young player, he is 37 years old, but I am sure he will bring a lot to Los Angeles FC with his experience. I think transfers like this have an important strategic value.

[tusandii]

Oliver Giroud has done an incredible work for himself and his club to country as a whole.He has won the premier league,champions league,world cup,and the Seria A tittle. He is one of France best player of all time.I thought he would retire,but it is very obvious now that what he needs now is money,he isn't tired of getting money and does not want to retire just like that.He can still go ahead to achieve more glory or name to the ones gotten already at MLS.Congratulations to him and wishing him more achievements at his new club.We hope he will help the team get to where they want to get to.

Throughout his career in Europe he was at a club that gave him prestigious titles whether in the EPL, League 1, Italian League, and also became an important player in his own country and won the world cup, so overall he has experienced quite important titles so It is possible that he is no longer curious about the title and will start a new journey in a different league. It is possible that he will have to adapt to a league that is different from the European league. At the end of his career, it turns out that he decided to follow Lionel Messi to MLS and not follow Ronaldo in The SPL is that these two leagues are very different and any decision is in the hands of the players, both leagues both provide fantastic salaries.

This decision has been made for Giroud's future when he will soon retire and I read from other people's replies here that Giroud signed a contract until 2025 and that means he will end his contract in MLS when he is 39/40 years old and means he will probably decide to retired after competing in MLS.
Giroud is one of the players famous for his greatness and the history he provided while playing for all the clubs he has played for and will always be remembered and it is sad to see this player have to go to MLS, but this decision was a wise decision for himself.

No matter how many times people said he turned it around this season, I will always include Maguire to the "to go list" for myself. Rashford is in fact more deserving of staying. I agree that Antony needs to go, that's the number one, then I would send Maguire, then I would send Casemiro, and only after that I would send Rashford.

I feel like there are so many things that needs to be done, we need to consider all of that, and we could only make money that way. I know that it is not that easy, and should take time, but we need to make sure that we are going to make some profit eventually if we know what we are doing. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a much better result, we should be careful about all of that.

No issues with Casemiro and Rapheal Varane leaving well understood, bit you see the name Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire? They're not good for enough for this club.
Football has evolved and Manchester United still wants to settle down with a fat, clumsy and lazy defender who has no speed. I will borrow and bet even sof I don't have, Harry Maguire can never make it to Pep Guardiola's team. He is fat, lazy and has no pace in this modern football when you don't need a player like him. He should be axed.

For Rashford, We all know how and what the past managers before Erik Ten Hag has said, He has been horrible, makes no runs when midfielder's are approaching with the ball ( I don't know if he wants to be a defender now ) and also makes too many touch with the ball, this is a player I will never support even if he leaves for another club.

These players without quality needs to leave before Erik Ten Hag, they're just repeating the same cycle of manager sack, knowing quite well that these players are the problem.

We have different speculations but Giroud will always been the most important person in his own world of football. It happens that he's not relenting but more focused to accomplish more goals for himself. Olivier Giroud is an important candidate for the club's he featured for during his prime in English clubs and Italy. Giroud have made complete accomplishments in football, winning major titles with clubs and also an important player during the winning of the Russia 2018 world cup.

Finally, Olivier Giroud ended his career with European teams after accepting LAFC as MLS League for next season due his contract expiry with AC Milan, in LAFC Olivier Giroud will play with his teams mate on national team Hugo Lloris. Actually is habit transfer for players after leaving the European teams their destination club for playing is MLS League, Olivier Giroud still not oldest because he was 37 years old and currently perform well with AC Milan by scoring 13 goals of 30 matches in domestic league.
Its very good signing by LAFC team and has chance to make team can get more attention in MLS League competition, lets see with any potential for Olivier Giroud how many goals scoring on the first season such as MLS League not really competitive with European competition.

Having Lloris there is a big advantage for Giroud because he knows the team and the city. I don't think it will feel strange either. There will be neither an English problem nor a culture problem. If he went to Saudi Arabia, maybe he would have problems because of these, but these problems will not automatically occur in the USA. It will be a different excitement for Giroud.

The search for a coach for Liverpool has begun. Currently, Arne Slot is rumored to be Liverpool main target as Klopp replacement. Arne Slot is a coach who was successful in providing trophies for Feyenord (Eredivisie title), is considered to be able to provide a strategy that is not much different from Klopp. If this is true, maybe it can be easy for him to adapt with players. But, Liverpool is not the only one to get him, because several big European clubs are also wants to bring Slot to their clubs. Munich and Barcelona are two of the clubs linked to Slot at the moment.

Until now it seems that Liverpool's search to get a replacement for Klopp has not stopped, after previously Alonso was linked with Liverpool but then there was Roberto De Zerbi's name that appeared, not until there even Liverpool reportedly only one step away from getting Amorim from Sporting Lisbon but apparently now began to appear new names that are speculated to coach Liverpool next season, it seems that Liverpool is currently struggling to get a new coach candidate Which is really in line with their expectations and of course the desire of the prospective coach to want to coach Liverpool, because in recent weeks we continue to see some names start to appear as speculation.

When you mention arne slot, honestly I have to open a goggle to find out who he really is, because so far I am not familiar with the coach named arne slot but after seeing his profile maybe not only I don't know about him but I'm sure we here only know him a few because he coaching Feyenoord in the eredivisie,  After seeing his profile of course I was quite surprised, because indeed he is a talented coach and even he managed to achieve many achievements during coaching, besides that he has a game scheme that is almost similar to Klopp so far at Liverpool so I think he will be very suitable to replace Klopp next season.

Congrats giroud.

That was quite a good choice and I think the MLS is the far better place for professional football players to find their peace, earn some good money in a not so competitive league and have an environment with high life quality. I am sure that Giroud had offers from the Saudi Professional League, but if someone really wants to combine memories and great experiences with professional football in a place where it is still enjoyable, the MLS is the place to go I think.

Sure, if it is all about the money, I think no clubs from any league can seriously compete with Saudi Arabia. But there are still players who are thinking twice about their next step and whether they really want to spend a few years in Saudi Arabia. Finding a nice place to live in or around LA, I think it could get worse. I know that LA is not the nicest place in the world in the eyes of some people, but the possibilities someone has going from there are definitely different than living in Saudi Arabia.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants the Red Devils to sign another striker this summer amid Rasmus Hojlund's struggles.

I think there's something wrong with ten hag at this time. He is once again recommending united's management to bring him a new striker, i think that ten hag is clueless about what's the main factor that prevented united to do better. That is him. The better he leave from the club rather stay for another season.
Ten hag once again requested his club to give him money and use it to get a new striker. That's kinda weird to see that how ten hag is always picking buying the new player as the solution rather than try to maximizing what is owned by united. Im still wondering why some united fans always said give him time.
Im also feeling curious about what process is ten hag in. I never see any improvement come from the club. United's performance is always stuck. United fans shall urge the management to sack him. It's a disaster to see ten hag is still sitting as head coach of united.
Im sick of it. Ten hag always contradicts himself takes one step forward and then moon walks right back to where we started the week. This must be stopped before it's too late.

Erik ten hag Always showing his cluelessness, I remember how hard he was pushing for the signing of Hojlund and now after one season he needs another striker, this is high time we the United board let him leave because in my opinion he has nothing else to offer to the red devils than what we have seen so far, at least there are good available coaches with years of experience and trophies to their name , if he stays till next season it will be disastrous for Manchester United, in my opinion he lacks the experience to coach a team like Manchester United.

Rashford also shouldn't as he isn't a bad player actually. Maguire should definitely be leaving immediately or shouldn't be given any chance. 

i'm quite doubtful that Hag will stay because reportedly many people, including Manchester United fans, are not sure that he will be able to bring change to Man Utd next season, moreover, there is news that Ten Hag's salary will be cut.

Reported by ESPN, Ten Hag must be prepared. The reason is that his salary will be cut by 25% if he stays at MU next season.

apart from that, Man Utd management also gave an ultimatum that if Man Utd does not qualify for the Champions League then all their salaries will be cut by 25%. 

from what i can see, up to now man utd is not compact, it is difficult for ten hag to unite the team, in contrast to man city, pep guardiola managed to make his team very compact with each other, ten hag's position is quite bad actually, but i'm still curious whether he will be fired or given a chance by management.

Olivier Girould is one of the luckiest players I have ever seen. He was the main striker at Arsenal then for years and he couldn’t be able to win the Premier League or any European competition, but ones he left to Chelsea, he won the Premier League, Champions League, as well as the Europa League. He then join AC Milan and he was able to win the Italian Seria A title with Milan and he was able to play in the Champions League for like two consecutive years. The main luck is that, he won the World Cup with France as a striker without a shot on goal throughout the tournament.

I am happy for him because he can be able to end his football career there since he is almost achieved all he wanted to achieve in his football career and he is one of the best strikers of this era.

That means the club needs to sign another defender to replace him if he is out but I guess he would be sold if there is another team that is willing to sign him for atleast $35m but with his quality for now its just not possible yet. I mean he is decent this season but with Onana on the goal line, you just cant expect the club to have a clean sheet everytime they play which is frustating at some point

I personally wanted him out last season but now I want him to stay for another season though

Hojlund had good statistics in the Champions League, but he could not keep up with the pace of the Premier League. He contributed to only 7 goals in 25 matches. I admit that he is a young and promising player, but we remember Manchester United with Van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Manchester United forward must be a player who can score every goal. There must be players like Rooney. Not Hojlund.

It is not surprising if Giroud finally will leave AC Milan, he is 37 years old already. AC Milan must plan to sign a new striker with a younger age for the next season. AC Milan can't rely on Giroud, he is too old to be the mainstay striker for AC Milan. He is also getting difficult to score goals, his productivity looks decreasing quite a lot in this season. Giroud simply can't be the machine goal of AC Milan anymore. So, it is the time for AC Milan to sign a new striker.

Yep. Giroud has made the right decision to join MLS. The level of MLS is much lower than the level of European leagues. Giroud can enjoy playing there without a big pressure like in Serie A or another league in Europe. Moreover, Giroud get a higher salary there, he can get a better financial for few years in MLS. I think he still can play until 40 years old.

Tuchel time as Bayern Munich coach was very short if it is true that at the end of the season there was dismissal and an attempt to change coaches by Bayern Munich.
If Tuchel really could become Ten Hag replacement coach in the Manchester United squad then it could be quite good times because Tuchel himself previously had experience building teams in the Premier League.
Chelsea success in the 2020/21 UCL final when they faced Manchester City, it was an extraordinary victory and Tuchel also managed to win several other titles as you have mentioned.

With Bayern Munich, he might be considered failed coach and quite disappointed for all Bayern Munich fans, but if it is true that in the future he becomes Manchester United coach, everything will be different.
Maybe this could be good way for Manchester United to be on the right track and have performance mature enough to face competition in several European competitions.

This season, Tuchel joined Bayern Munich extremely determined to ensure that he makes an impact as a top tier coach considering his team strength too but sadly his zeal didn't just give him the desired result as Munich drew back in performances, lost the league trophy and are even on a scaly ground at the moment where anything is bound to happen at the end of every game. Thesame situation goes for United although the English side had this issue starting before now but it only got worse this season with Hag in the manager's stand.

 Ten Hag hasn't done just for this team and it'll only be proper that he's evicted. Now if he's evicted there has to be a replacement. Considerations are being made and carefully observing the English squad, they need someone more profound and strong handed with an already grounded skill to take up the position but if Tuchel is being an option right now, I really can't vouch for him because as a coach, he's failed to take and keep Bayern Munich's face up in the crowd even with all the caliber of players he had for himself to work with.

 Winning the UCL is really going to be a challenge for them and so his effect in United may be seen but it may not necessary be that cumbersome to cause a profound change but still there's no harm in trying. United players aren't as good as Munich players but they can still be worked on. Although for me the general team needs therapy and a more scrupulous working environment to keep them up to the task but we just have to hope that next season favors them.

No matter how many times people said he turned it around this season, I will always include Maguire to the "to go list" for myself. Rashford is in fact more deserving of staying.

Manchester United have been struggling but they're also in for the top winnings this season. Manchester United won against Sheffield United 4-2 and its a deserving victory for them, always ambitious to climb further on the table and hitting on the new unlocked levels as an elite team. Harry Maguire have come through for Manchester United this season. It's been one of the immense contributing figure for the team's progress. Erik Ten Hag acknowledged the players that displayed there best and upgrade the standards of the club.

[EL MOHA]

No matter how many times people said he turned it around this season, I will always include Maguire to the "to go list" for myself. Rashford is in fact more deserving of staying. I agree that Antony needs to go, that's the number one, then I would send Maguire, then I would send Casemiro, and only after that I would send Rashford.

I feel like there are so many things that needs to be done, we need to consider all of that, and we could only make money that way. I know that it is not that easy, and should take time, but we need to make sure that we are going to make some profit eventually if we know what we are doing. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a much better result, we should be careful about all of that.

I don’t see why you placed Maguire well ahead of Rashford in terms of clear out because I have not practically seen anything he has done. Yes Rashford is short of confidence and consistency but that stops him from tracking back to defend with others or closing down the midfield to help his mates. If we talk about only this two players and who needs to go first I will say Rashford because he looks like a player that isn’t interested in playing football with a 400k wage, Maguire has shown intent or zeal of someone having the team at the back of his mind and would be a great squad player rather than a first team player.

But should United decided on a larger clear out i will leave only this players; Bruno Fernandez, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Gernacho, Diogo Dalot, Wan Bissaka, Mason Mount, Martinez, Onana, Hojlund and Amad
