Everton set sights on signing Lingard in January as plan revealed to evade FFP
Everton have set their sights on a January deal for Man United star Jesse Lingard in January, Football Insider has learned.
The Merseysiders will be in the market for an attacking midfielder capable of scoring goals and slotting straight into Rafael Benitez’s side.
An Everton source has told Football Insider that Lingard is on the club’s target list and Benitez is a big admirer of him.
The Merseysiders are planning to explore a loan-to-buy deal in which Lingard joins on an initial loan that is converted into a permanent deal at the end of the season.
Everton are targeting Lingard as they look to secure a replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who will be let go at the end of the season.

Good for Everton and that would really improve their squad. Lingard has improved a lot over the last year and he contributed in so many goals for West Ham last season. Manchester United should really give him some good chances to prove himself again. They are just letting him rot on the bench, it's such a waste of talent. I really wonder why West Ham didn't tried getting him on permanent deal. He adjusted in Hammers quite well.

Lingard has been really good in the last few seasons. Now that he's back at Utd, he's not getting the minutes he used to get before. He was a regular starter 2 seasons back but now with the addition of Sancho, Bruno he's hardly getting the minutes. So a loan-to-buy deal would be a good option for Everton as they'll have a season to see how he performs. He performs well with them then they can consider buying him.

As Manchester United manager Solskjaer's place is on the rocks, there are some speculations about a probable new manager for them. And the biggest candidate seems like Antonio Conte. Now, Conte has no club to manage. His last team were Inter and he had a great season with them. They managed to become the champions in the Serie A. I wonder whether he can be successful at Manchester United.

They should consider trying out Lingard in place of Sancho for some time. Maybe that changes thing and bring goals for Man United.

Also really Lingard should push things to move to some other clubs. Manchester United is really not respecting him atm by not giving him good playing minutes. Loan to permanent is a good tactic for team to test and I have no doubt regarding his contribution if he arrives at Everton.

[cryptofrka]

Sancho has really started badly. But replacing him with Lingard though? Not really something they will consider since Lingard will be sold soon and they have quite a bit of forwards ready to jump in with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood all looking for more minutes.

Lingard is more a central player anyway, I think even Diallo would be preferred to him. Not sure if the rumors with Everton are true as well, I don't really see how and where he'd fit there.

According to Mirror, Paulo Fonseca could be the new manager of Newcastle after their sacking Steve Bruce a few days ago. Fonseca's last club were Roma. And Roma didn't have a very good season before this one. But Fonseca is still a decent manager I believe. But I would prefer to see Gerrard or Emery here rather than Fonseca. I believe that those options would be better for Newcastle's future. Especially Gerrard knows Premier League teams much better.

Yes, now the future of Solskjaer is still a question mark for everyone, the inconsistent game of Manchester United this season, making many people speculate if Solskjaer position this season at Manchester United is just a matter of time, and there are even rumors that Solskjaer future will be in evaluation by the management of manchester united after the match between manchester united and liverpool tomorrow, in addition to conte, zidane is also rumored to be a strong candidate to train manchester united and Ronaldo also recommends Zidane to the management of Manchester United.

No way, Newcastle will have to aim to the top - it's way easier to get a good manager to commit to the club than a good player when the team is bad. Fonseca has shown some good patches as a coach but I highly doubt that he's the kind of profile that Newcastle will be looking at.

City again with 3 goals tonight, a statistic just popped up online - they scored 3+ goals in 42% of the games under Guardiola. A truly amazing achievement.
They are also the only PL team still to concede a goal in the 1st half.

The management of Real Madrid have their eyes on RB Leipzig fullback Nordi Mukiele, reports Todofichajes.

According to the source, the footballer does not intend to renew the contract with the “bulls” and wants to leave the team in the summer.
RB Leipzig is well aware that in this case, the player will have to be released, since his contract is valid until June 2023.
At the moment, the "Royal Club" is the main contender for the footballer, however, there is interest in Mukiel from other European clubs as well.

Barcelona is still trying to renew the contract with Dembele, however it's his agent who is delaying the renovation, because from january 1 on he will be free to negotiate with another teams. By doing this, Dembele can receive better paying offers from another clubs, as Barcelona is also trying to decrease his wealthy wage for the next contract.

The main speculation I've seen is that Newcastle is a potential destiny for Dembele, as his agent has already made some contacts with the club regards this matter and also because Newcastle has very propitious financial conditions right now to afford a player like him much more than Barcelona which is suffering serious financial difficulties.

Money rules the world... However, despite the fact that he may lose the opportunity to play in Barcelona, which is probably already falling apart little by little, he will move to a new, promising in the future club. I am sure that in the summer Newcastle will buy properly and most likely will start to show a new level of soccer by the standards of their championship, and of course will surprise everyone

I know Newcastle are now rich, but it still doesn't automatically make them a big club, I understand your point and I'm pretty sure Newcastle will hope they can start buying world class managers/players, but that would not happen immediately, they'll have to start from somewhere, just the same way other clubs which experienced take overs by multi-billionaires did (City for example), they will still buy and sack a couple of managers before they finally get it right, so Fonseca might actually be a good option for now, mind you that they do not have the quality of players that can attract a world class manager as of yet.

City again with 3 goals tonight...

The interesting part of City's impressive goal scoring form is that for the most part of last season and thus far this season, they have been lining up without an orthodox striker, that's amazing and I'd not be surprised if they do not go after any striker in the January transfer window.

It doesn't make sense if it's true that Barcelona want to bring in Mbappe, until now Barcelona is still experiencing a financial crisis.
Therefore they have to lower the salaries of some of their players, it is impossible if they want to bring in Mbappe who definitely wants a high salary.

Yep, that's why I doubt that Barcelona really wants to compete with Real Madrid to sign Mbappe. We know that Barcelona is struggling to solve their financial problem, they even let Messi move to PSG because of this situation. How can they try to sign Mbappe that possibly bring the worse situation in Barcelona financial? I don't see a chance that Mbappe to go to Barcelona because of this serious problem. We can say it is only a rumor, won't to happen.

If Solskjaer were to be replaced, I'd go with Erik ten Hag. I do not think Antonio Conte is the right candidate for Manchester United.

I seriously doubt that Barcelona really wants him, sure they might be in the mix in order to keep Madrid pay more, right now Barcelona got rid of griezmann and messi contracts so they could technically afford to pay Mbappe a lot, but not to get him, they can "offer" a fake deal, which Mbappe and Barcelona both would know that it will not be a real deal, but at least Mbappe will be able to tell Madrid that Barcelona is offering a lot.

In that method Madrid will be forced, if Madrid ends up offering less, then Mbappe could stay with PSG if nothing else works, and Madrid would basically make a world star guy who wants to join very unhappy by not offering more than anyone else. So, it is a tactic by Barcelona to get Madrid spend more than they have to.

I agree with you too. Barcelona might  not even be interested in signing Mbappe for sure a high fee but are just doing it to keep Madrid away from signing him. I recall one them when the vice president of Barcelona said they won't be signing any big name player for at least another 2 years when their financial debt is kept under control. I'll be keeping a track on this to see when Mbappe will eventually end up. So much drama and talk about it for over 2 seasons now.

Yep that's not going to happen at all and Mbappe's desire is to go to Real Madrid for a fantastic salary so there's a strong chance he'll definitely go there if PSG keep him.
What's important later is who dares Mbappe's high salary, he will definitely stay even at PSG, which makes the option of a contract extension for one more season, so Mbappe's desire is to be in a big team with a high salary.
Then Barcelona's efforts will be in vain looking at the financial crisis, of course it will have an impact on cutting the salaries of existing players.
And this is indeed still an unlikely rumor in my opinion.

What's these rumours am hearing about mbappe bitterness in mind about the g.o.a.t joining them in thier team?
I don't really know how true it is though but that's it.!
Neymar isn't playing  along side with Mbappe anymore since messi arrived the team and for these reasons,coupled with the fact that mbappe never wanted messi in the club at first..i think these is why he is planning to terminate the contract with the french club PSG

There is too much speculation about Newcastle's manager (I heard about Marc Overmars too). but like Guardiola said to build a team not only a manager for needed but all squads must be fixed. Newcastle has to lot of squad problems, all line. Jones as interim coach, only able to play draw vs Crystal place, Newcastle still on Degradation zone without any winning. if they aren't available to buy any players on winter windows transfer, the new owner will have a big disadvantage, i.e. playing on division 1 on the next session.

Newcastle to become a strong team does need a lot of changes in all sectors, in addition to the coach and players that must be improved,
Newcastle must fix other sectors including management and directors. Marc Overmars is a strong candidate for director of football, and Paulo Fonseca
as strong candidates to fill the coach. If these two great men succeed in bringing in Newcastle, I think it will make a big difference for Newcastle.
We know how Ajax's performance is currently so extraordinary, it is not only the contribution of Erik ten Hag as a coach, but also the role of
Marc Overmars as director of football for Ajax is quite large. Then many people doubt the ability of Paulo Fonseca, even though if we look at his
overall track record as a coach is quite good. Indeed, when he became coach of Roma did not give any trophy, but when he was coach of
Shakhtar Donetsk for three seasons he managed to give 7 trophies for Shakhtar Donetsk. So if Fonseca becomes Newcastle coach that's a good thing,
I believe Fonseca can get Newcastle out of the relegation zone.

[Avirunes]

But I would prefer to see Gerrard or Emery here rather than Fonseca. I believe that those options would be better for Newcastle's future. Especially Gerrard knows Premier League teams much better.

Both Gerrard and Emery are happy with their respective teams and have achieved some massive feats  for their teams. Gerrard with Scottish side Rangers have helped win them Scottish Championship and they enjoyed quite a flawless run in the league last season and are also taking part in Europa League this season. As for Unai emery he helped Villareal to win the Europa League last season against Manchester United in finals . So both are very good managers had a massive break last season. I doubt they would leave the club since now they are this committed.

Newcastle is a good example of the dirty money that involves the world of football, we see another Saudi Arabian fund owning an English team and the premier league simply "closes its eyes" on the origin of the money.
What matters is profit.

Dirty money isn't lacking for them to hire great players, I just don't know if they will have enough technique to build a good team... because money alone is not enough.
