Chelsea considering signing Lukaku back is useless
How can they consider such a thing that's dramatic such a big waste to the club

You are right. Chelsea has done many useless purchasing. They bring back Lukaku, but it was useless. They signed Timo Werner, then they sold him because he failed to give a good contribution to Chelsea this season. They will sign Bellingham and this player may be useless for Chelsea squad. So, Chelsea has a habit to waste money.

I think the problem is on Chelsea management, not on the players. 

Mdric will retire soon, Jude can fill up for him well

Yes. Bellingham will be a perfect player to replace Modric. Bellingham is a midfielder with big talent and he is very young (19 years old). He will have a long career in Real Madrid.

The problem is we know that apart from the many big clubs who are interested in this player, there is another thing, namely when dealing with Borussia Dortmund, it is clear that this will not be as simple as buying ordinary players because it reflects on several previous players and the latest is Haaland, it took City a few seasons to get it right. really being able to bring in this player so it won't be as easy as Madrid had hoped.

Cristiano Ronaldo's stint with Manchester United in his second season after joining from Juventus will end in the January transfer window after Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag declared enough and time to part with the 37-year-old five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Ronaldo's refusal to come on as a substitute against Tottenham on Wednesday and leave the substitutes before the final whistle, has ruled the striker out of action in this weekend's Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The question is, is there still a shortage of clubs willing to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he really wants to leave?

It's not clear he might leave in the winter transfer because there isn't any club that has made any offer and he is still contracted to united till the summer. Ten Hag on the other side hasn't made a public word about not having in his team.
Ronaldo wages is actually a big problem why he has not gotten offer. Second thing could be his attitude and how he left his last two clubs. Third thing might be his age, many big clubs prefer to build there team around younger players and Ronaldo's likes could hinder there progress

The problem with him is that he is getting older and he cannot deliver like he used to even if he wants to and he is also furious with himself for this. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is a very competitive player and he feels very bad when he is not performing at the highest level. Although he is wanting to leave the club, most clubs do not want to sign him due to the fact that he has a high salary and the fact that he is 37 years old.

Clubs would then say: I would rather sign a young player who would serve me for a longer period of time than this old guy who will come and go.

Gabriel was Arsenals best defender last season scoring fours goals last season
He should have blend in with the return of Saliba but he always has pressure issues
It's now Saliba doing most of the best defending with errors

Saliba has blended well in the current arsenal defense, playing as a central defender Saliba is able to become the center of an arsenal defense which is known to be quite fragile before , arsenal has managed to educate saliba by loaning him to another club last season so that currently he is really quite strong in defense arsenal, I think his duet with gabriel is a good option for arteta even though gabriel often makes mistakes but his performance so far is quite good, besides that if you pay attention, when gabriel makes a fatal mistake so which a goal occurs then it is not uncommon for gabriel to be able to pay for his mistakes by scoring goals into the opponent's goal or provide an assist that leads to a goal.

Willaim Saliba has been so impressive playing in the heart of the defense for Arsenal, his composure and confidence alone give so much boost to the team defensively. It excites me every game seeing him on the pitch as it gives me that confidence and assurance that we are in safe hands. I think those loan deals played a role in helping him develop and come back stronger and even better and the partnership with Gabriel is solid, Arteta finally got the kind of defense he has always wanted in this group of defenders.

Chelsea might still be in search of another striker to transfer in January. However I don't think they are thinking of bringing back Lukaku at all indeed. They are speculated with Ronaldo for now but we will see.

Ronaldo is already very likely to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He isn't wanted by Erik ten Hag clearly and this is the best thing to do for Ronaldo as a result. Chelsea are actually after many strikers according to some reports but signing Ronaldo on a free transfer might seem more favourable for them. But his salary might still be quite big though.

Franck Ribery retired from football at the age of 39. Together with Robben at Bayern Munich, they were like parts of a great machine; one on the right wing, the other on the left wing... As someone who watched his prime period, I was a little emotional about this statement. :)

After all, Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery announced on his official Twitter account that he ended his active football career at the age of 39.

Bringing Lukaku home would be the second mistake Chelsea have made, Lukaku can't develop with Chelsea. Selling Lukaku can be done as an option to bring in another striker who is more qualified and can adapt to the team. Ronaldo can be a short-term option, but Chelsea do not need to rush to sign Ronaldo. Chelsea will have to wait until Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United expires in order to be able to sign him on a free transfer.
Chelsea must make an internal approach with Ronaldo. After Manchester United punished Ronaldo for his undisciplined attitude when Manchester United faced Tottenham, it is estimated that Ronaldo's relationship with Manchester United will continue to crack. Chelsea could take advantage of this situation to approach Ronaldo to join them when his contract expires.

It will be the best deal ever for Dortmund
All they have ever cared about was grooming players to sell
How many have they sold in the last year's, Jude better takes the chance at a young age to play for madrid

Indeed, one of the most important names in football was Ribery. He had his most productive age at Bayern Munich, and he and Robben were like a dynamo. Bayern Munich won many matches thanks to them. One of football's most important wingers is retiring. I wish you success in your future career. I hope we can watch for many years as a coach.

There are some new speculations about Manchester United's possible replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. It is claimed that they might go for Joao Felix in the same month if Ronaldo leaves the team in January.

Felix hasn't scored a goal in this season yet. He made three assists in five games as a centre-forward so far. But he is still a very young player as he is 22 now. He has a bright future ahead of him but I don't know if he can reach his potential at Atletico Madrid. We should see him playing in the best European league also which is the Premier League. This is an opportunity for him also as a result. However I wonder if this is Erik ten Hag's thinking. Otherwise he can also have problems with him just as Ronaldo is having now.

I have to say he may not be the type of player they need right now. They need a goal scorer, someone who only cares about scoring as much as possible, not a complete forward, not some ball artist who can do flair stuff, they need basically a Haaland/Lewa/Mbappe/Ronaldo type of striker who will look for the goal and that's it.

This is not something available with those names, but could find lower level ones, such as Kane. Kane is not available at this moment but I guarantee you if they paid 100 million to Spurs, they could get him and he could play there for at least 5-6 more years, maybe more and that solves a huge problem they are having right now.

What are the odds of Klopp being sacked from Liverpool?

I know he is a goat but in Premier nobody is immune, too much money in the game.

Kloop won everything possible with Liverpool and even this loss i think wont effect him. So i think if there is some decenty they wont sack him. But that didnt help other coaches that won some big trophies. But i think in Liverpool is a different story and how he plays in champions league will decide

After successive wins, especially over Man City. I believe Klopp will continue his leadership with Liverpool, at least until the end of this season.
The defeat to Nottingham Forest in yesterday's match was very disappointing for Klopp, Klopp is still struggling to improve his squad's performance and is targeting as many wins as possible and trying to finish in the top four of the premier league.

if only Klopp was sacked at this time. a situation that will not be favorable for Liverpool, because they have a busy schedule plus want to ensure Liverpool to qualify for the next round in the champions league.

Here I agree with you, even if Klopp leaves now. it won't help Liverpool to win some trophies with its new coach.

How many have they sold in the last year's, Jude better takes the chance at a young age to play for madrid

It will not be very difficult for Real Madrid to get Bellingham if they wish to get him. It is not always a problem for Madrid to get any player they want before they have the money and again they cannot be seen as the biggest club in Europe which every player will like to play in for prestige and fame. Bellingham himself will be happy to play on the big stage of Madrid.

Manchester city is one of the biggest teams in the world, with their defeat by Liverpool in fact the city's game is very good but maybe it's just unlucky in terms of scoring goals, in my opinion the city coach will not be sacked because in terms of changes from year to year it turns out that in terms of sharpness it is sharper this season, that's why it's impossible for a shift right now if it's just one defeat

I can't dispute the fact that Manchester city is one of the best teams in the world but at  the time Liverpool were excellent in their last meeting and did everything right to deserve all three points. I wouldn't say City was unlucky because Liverpool were the better side in the game,saying they were unlucky sounds like they were the better side but couldn't get the goals to secure a win.

City was a bit unlucky because Alisson was having a great day.  Manchester City had a few effective offensive positions, and Allison didn't give them the chance to score, but also assisted in Mohammed Salah's goal.  He was one of the best players in the match.  Manchester City lost power, lost 3 points.  Now the point gap with Arsenal has increased even more.  Meanwhile, Arsenal got off to an excellent start.  The best start in the club's history has been this year.

Manchester city was not any unlucky. They didn't win, they don't know how to Liverpool. In all their outings like season they didn't win Liverpool and I can't remember the last time they won Liverpool. That does not mean City is not a good team. They won Balon D'or team of the year. For this reason and many other reasons, Guardiola doesn't deserve to be sacked. Unless you want to return city to what they used to be.

It's irrational to talk about the sacking of Guardiola in one match.  Guardiola is still one of the best coaches in the world.  According to Fourfourtwo magazine, it is the best in the world.  When Manchester City send him, will they be able to find a good manager from him?  I do not think so.  Also this week Liverpool took a surprise defeat and Manchester City won again.  They are still in the race behind Arsenal and by the end of the year maybe they will be Premier League winners.

Here I agree with you, even if Klopp leaves now. it won't help Liverpool to win some trophies with its new coach.

It is difficult to talk about the dismissal of Klopp because we do not know the position of management on this issue. Maybe he has a lot of credibility, maybe not. It makes no sense to change a coach a month before the World Cup, so I think that Klopp will definitely remain in his position until the end of the World Cup + a few more games in the Premier League and the Champions League. If these games are successful then he will definitely continue to coach Liverpool, if Liverpool continue to fail (and fail in the Champions League for example) then Klopp's story at Liverpool may be over.

Bellingham himself will be happy to play on the big stage of Madrid.

Dortmund always creates its best players as happened to Erling Haaland who comes from Dortmund is also the best attacking player for now and next from Dortmund produces another good attacking player named Jude Bellingham and If Real Madrid want to have him then they have to move quickly so that when the transfer market opens at the beginning of the year he will not be bought by another club.

Steven Gerrard is also speculated to become the new manager of England national team.

As you know he has recently been sacked by Aston Villa after getting bad results at the begining of the season. They were still underperforming and the board finally decided to sack Gerrard. As Southgate is likely to leave the national team after the World Cup there are many rumours going on for the position. Maybe his luck wasn't much good with Aston Villa but Gerrard might do better with the national team who knows. He knows the players very well. The problem is that he doesn't have any management experience with a big team before. He will work with the biggest English players there. It is hard to predict how good he can deal with the team for now.

FC Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić announced that the club won't be very active during the upcoming winter transfer window. He announced that the FC Bayern already bought players for the "whole season" last summer. There is currencly no need for other players.

Salihamidžić: "We've done a lot this summer, so I think we're very well prepared for the whole season. We will not be active in the transfer market in winter"

Concerning a new striker - especially Harry Kane, Salihamidžić said that he won't talk about other players who currently have a contract with a different club.

Too bad, I had hoped that Bayern would sign another striker in the winter.

I am not so sure if Real Madrid really is the most desired club for Jude Bellingham. Yes Real has won the Champions League last year which was a really great achievement, but we also have to admit that they had a huge amount of luck to win that title. They were the weaker team in all 3 match-ups against Paris, Chelsea and also against Manchester City but they always managed to go through with very late goals.
So even though Real is probably the club with the biggest and most glorious history i don't think that it is the best club at the moment. I think ManCity, Liverpool and FC Bayern are stronger at the moment for example. Also Bellingham is english so i can imagine that he wants to play for an english club.

~snip~

I assume that Bayern Munich won't really go for a striker then. However I think that they definitely need one for the Champions League especially.

Maybe it isn't much problem for the Bundesliga as they are doing wonderful recently there. They are still the number one contender for the league title and it looks like they will have the lead back soon. However the Champions League will get much more difficult for them in the later stages. If they have a reliable striker in the attacking line then they would be more assertive for the title in the Champions League as well. But maybe they might change their mind later on.

The England national team job will be a way big for Gerard.
If he is to take up the England national team coaching job he should at least be tested with another club even if it is not a top club.
Gerard need to prove that he is a good coach more than what he did at Rangers before he could be trusted with the prestigious England National team.
Bringing him from a failed Aston Villa project to the England national team will not go well.
