I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.

This news is fresh out of the oven and I think Arteta should stop his interest in Osimhen. It just ruins the atmosphere in the dressing room which is so harmonious and I don't think he wants that to happen. If Osimhen comes to Arsenal it will only mess up everything he has worked so hard to build and many players will feel uncomfortable with his behavior.

I also heard that Osimhen has parted ways with his agent and he blames his current situation on the agent's poor handling of his transfer. However, if you want to be a star then you don't need to complicate your own future and focus on fixing your less than professional attitude. When Osimhen returns from Napoli I'm not sure the offers will be as abundant as before.

I think the management will extend his contract.

I believe the decision lies on Guardiola's hand. I mean there are history of him leaving successful clubs like Barca after he wins so many trophies, and I doubt money is the issue. I also heard that some players more or less said that this season is their last dance together with him. Not sure if that's what they explicitly told us, but many journalist to report the same thing. I don't think the club can do much to change his mind if if he's truly exhausted like before.

Of course we cannot know what is happening inside the club. We only know the football played from the outside and what is reflected in the media. If he has a problem with the club, Guardiola can show it to us by not renewing his contract. Because I know he does not want to stay in a place where he is not happy. What is important from now on is if you leave Manchester City. I wonder which team can convince him. He has the potential to easily take part in any club in the world right now and I think he is the best technical director alive in active football. The club that wants to convince him should pay a lot of money and offer them a lot of opportunities, just like Manchester City.

I think Manchester City is not in any problem with everyone in team management, so there will be no main reason we can know about the future of Pep whether he will survive with contract extension or leave by spending his contract this summer.
During his career as coach also showed that Pep was coach who had handled several big European team such as Barcelona in few years and Bayern Munich until the Manchester City from 2016 to the present, we could see quite number of titles and success he had gotten for each team he trained.
Besides, Pep is also not very old, so there is an opportunity for many big teams to be able to have an interest in working with Pep and giving confidence to him, but it will be very unfortunate if Pep has to leave Manchester City this season because Manchester City itself is also deep in very good performance.
Everyone certainly hopes Pep to survive and truly extend his contract with Manchester City.

Victor Osimhen is rare gem in football and his market price was too high for an EPL side to afford, instead they sort out other alternatives to grabbed Osimhen's deal but couldn't accomplish them. Osimhen is Galatasaray player on a year loan from Napoli, its brillaint choice for the Nigerian because sitting on the bench since Napoli excluded him from the fiest team would mean unwise decisions and challenge for him. He always dream of playing for an EPL side but his dream wouldn't be accomplished this season. Arsenal are in stable form, they do not need any presence of a top striker, a hyped one as that which will definitely cost them a fortune and we know Arsenal board, they barely spend significant amount on players in the transfer window.

Mikel Arteta view, he has the necessary players in his frontline, having no complaints at all. Mikel Arteta implementing the 4-3-3 formation for league games which is absolutely running smoothly for the Gunners, because having Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in the frontline, they're executing their attacking role effectively. So bringing in another top nine will mean unclassified sectional role and ruined the good chemistry going on within the players.

Filip Kostic's name was mentioned with Galatasaray, but last night news came that Fenerbahçe had rented the football player from Juventus for 1 year.
Osterwolde was injured and Ferdi went to Brighton. Fenerbahçe, which was going to have a problem with the left back, solved its left back problem with a good football player.
What I'm really wondering is: Why do these Turkish teams always seek the same players? This situation happens almost every year. This is what happened to Zaha last time. Galatasaray bought Zaha and sent him on loan to the Lyon team this year without seeing any contribution.
Turkish teams have a serious scout problem. This affects their economy badly. If two teams are interested in the same player, the price increases. They need to solve this problem.

Pep Guardiola's contract will end in the summer of 2025 but until now there has been no sign that he wants to extend his service at Manchester City. I wonder if the previous rumors about Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season will really happen because the coach has also created a long history with Man City so far, Pep Guardiola must immediately make his decision because finding a coach like him is not easy for the big club.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.

As if City didn't spend enough under Guardiola 
But in fact you are right - I saw information that the club plans to allocate 300 million to the new coach for transfers. But still, the most important thing is how the League vs. City case ends - if the League wins, then sanctions will be imposed on City and Guardiola will leave, if City can get away with it again, then he will stay and continue his dirty deeds.

What do you mean by dirty deeds? Why are you already passing judgement without any proven evidence, pep Guardiola is not going anywhere he is still going to remain the head coach of Manchester City beyond this season and you can keep yelling for all I care. Which club doesn't spend enough in the premier league? Why is it that when it comes to Manchester City you all don't hesitate to cast the first stone, why? Money don't play football hope you understand that. The league won't win any case against Manchester City because Manchester City has done no wrong. Whatever cases you are hoping that will go against Manchester City will be dismissed and all those waiting for Manchester City to be sanctioned will be disgraced.

[Fiatless]

I wouldn't believe SPORT if I were you. They have a knack for reporting false news all the time. Most of the stuff they report all the time is false and I'm almost certain this is false too.
There was no real interest in Osimhen from Arsenal. If there was we would have known of it and other news channels would have reported it too the same way we all knew about the interest from Chelsea.

Having anger issues is bad, but I feel it's actually exaggerated a bit. Aside from Finidi, I have not heard of Osimhen having or causing any issues in the locker room or disrespecting his managers. If a club really wanted him, I don't think that would be an issue. People like Diego Costa, Arder Turan and Balloteli were still employed

You would have simply said that you are not aware of Arsenal's interest in Osimhen. A quick Google search would have help you to see that the news received headlines in some news outlets.

Regarding the striker's disagreement with coaches, he had one with former French Napoli coach Rudi Garcia. The Nigerian reacted angrily at the coach when he was substituted.

The reason for the post is not to criticise the player but to derive some lessons. Some of the players you mentioned would have achieved more if they were well-behaved. Every coach will not sign a disrespectful player if they have other options.

Chill bro, we're a few days away from the start of the hearing by Manchester City. We will know what's gonna happen with them.

A few days ago, the Premier League lost to Leicester City in the court. Also, Chelsea got PL's approval to sell their hotels to their sister company. This was to lower their PSR lost below the limit. Those cases can motivate City to fight harder against PL over the alleged 115 breaches by them.

Let's see how oil money will play out in this battle. And nothing surprises to me if they get light sanction.

I got this believe that the case would be in favor of City and if it requires them to spend heavily to get away with the charges then they're very much capable of doing so since they're backed by oil rich owners. Well whatever the case may be I think it's not going to stop Pep Guardiola from leaving City soon my reasons are that he's achieved everything achievable in the league and has set lots of records so he'll want to try another experience which is coaching a country team and winning trophies like the World Cup or so and even though Pep Guardiola decides to continue at City after this season, I doubt if he'll stay more than a year, he'll definitely sign a year contract then probably win another EPL trophy then resign like Klopp did but come to think of it, 300 million is more than enough and a great advantage to any coach that succeeds Pep but City should take their time when it comes to selection so they won't make same mistake Manchester United did after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

I think that rumors should stay away from football, it's a shameful thing that these people here who are profiteers without mercy should still be allowed to keep football in their hands, regarding Osimhen I would say that when he returns to Naples the offers won't be exactly like before seen and considered the player's behavior!

[Pokapoka124]

Everyone is thinking the same like you. Turkish league could be an easy place for him to beat, but sometimes, Reality tells us the harsh result. He moved to a less competitive league. But, he will have lower quality teammates. This doubts me if he is gonna score numerous goals for Galatasaray.

About Osimhen goes to Arsenal, it's unlikely to happen. Napoli has sent them an offer to sign him in June, but they refused it due to the non sense price and expensive wages. Also, it's no way for them to recruit someone as problematic as him and his agent in their squad.

Arsenal did the right thing not to sign him from Napoli.

I believe the news is fake. Osimhen’s transfer is hot news right now, sports media are probably making things up to increase their ratings. Chelsea and Arsenal could not sign Osimhen because of the expensive contract, if Osimhen had accepted a paycut from either of these clubs, he would be in the premier league.

Osimhen is going to score a lot of goals at Galatasary. The team is not a weak side, their attack is very strong. Yesterday, they won their match against Erokspor with a 8-3 scoreline. Scoring goals at Gala will not be a problem for Osimhen.

[Pandorak]

[...]

This is obviously a loss for the club as Dani Olmo is injured playing in the national league with his country Spain and if Olmo is injured for a long time Barcelona will certainly be hit hard considering he is an important player for the club who has scored two goals in two matches.
Now we want to know how the medical tests went with the results, of course we hope it's not so severe and he can be out for a few weeks but if it's a long time it's a loss for Barcelona.

If Olmo is out for an extended period, Barcelona’s title ambitions could be significantly affected. While the club has depth, losing such a creative force will undoubtedly hinder their offensive capabilities.

Clubs must be cautious when managing player health, especially with busy schedules like Barcelona, which includes La Liga, the Champions League, and other competitions. Balancing international duties with club commitments is always tricky, but ensuring proper rest and recovery will be crucial for Olmo and others to avoid further injuries.

Hansi-Flick will need to rethink the team's formation and tactics. Olmo's creativity and fluidity in the midfield are difficult to replicate. This may lead to a shift in playing style, potentially leaning on other players to step up or changing to a more defensive approach in upcoming matches.

Liverpool is very interested in getting Chiesa in the squad and the deal is almost done as Chiesa has agreed on 81000£ per weak as he was on a contract with Juventus. Let's hope the deal should get close soon as LFC's new boss praises his Professionalism.
A 12 M deal for a Liverpool and in your thoughts who did a good business?
As rumors are coming Chiesa faced some serious injury problems nowadays.

Congrats to Fenerbahçe! I think it is a good signing but I hope Kostic wouldn't play unwillingly. Because you know, he did his best to stay at Juventus instead. He wasn't thinking of leaving. By the way a Galatasaray official made a statement on Kostic talks like they found he was injury-prone and that's why they didn't push more. I don't believe them. Osimhen is much more prone to injuries. But Kostic has had only very small injuries during his career.

van Dijk wants new deal from Liverpool. He has turned down Saudi offer. He is 33 now but still can contribute a lot for at least a few more years.    I think Liverpool should absolutely keep him.

It's done. He's at Galatasaray now, so let's move on. Osimhen's got talent but the kid's got some growing up to do. The drama with Napoli, the agent issues - it's a mess. He wants the Premier League, fine. But Arsenal? Not the right fit right now. Arteta's got that attack humming. Saka, Martinelli, Jesus - they're clicking. Throwing Osimhen in there could screw up the whole chemistry. Plus, the guy's gonna cost a fortune. Is it worth the risk? I don't think so

Arsenal's on the right track. They don't need a flashy signing to mess things up. Stick with what's working, build on that foundation. That's how you win titles, not by chasing every big name that comes along

A good news coming for Dutch player end and a captain of LFC in my opinion his contract should extended until 2026. He is 33 and still at his best and doing good for Liverpool in all aspects so their is not any solid reason to not extend his contract. Let hope Van Dijk gets its desired contract from Team management of Liverpool.

Van Dijk is an excellent player and deserves the renewal so the news should be absolutely valid, then it dismembers me that after the purchase of Federico Chiesa they really aren't joking so they have done more than well with the renewal, then he is a player who can do defensive department alone so it is right to renew the contract of a player who can still give a lot

[lizarder]

This is good news for the Liverpool fans because after the clash between Salah and Jurgen Klopp, it looked like Mo Salah time at Liverpool would be cut short. I thought Salah was going to leave the club when Saudi came knocking but that didn’t happen. Klopp was the one that made a move away from Liverpool. Mo Salah seems to have a great relationship with Arne Slot. Watching Liverpool games this season and seeing how well he has been performing shows he is very happy playing in the Liverpool shirt, he deserves an extension.

Mo Salah has proven his loyalty to Liverpool and he is willing to stay at Liverpool until his contract expires. The presence of a new coach has made the atmosphere more fluid and Mo Salah is back in Arne Slot's plans. That trust was not wasted by him and Mo Salah has proven that he is still in top form. At first I also doubted that he would stay at Liverpool and as time went on he was linked with a move in the transfer market then everything changed and he ended up staying at Liverpool.

A contract extension is something he wanted because he had offers to move to other clubs but he stayed at Liverpool because of his love for the club. It is only right that he is given a contract extension and Mo Salah's performance has also been quite good in the previous few matches.

[Luzin]

Bayern Munich actually wants a Leverkusen defender. But this transfer season Leverkusen did not let him go. He is Jonathan Tah, he has been with Leverkusen for 9 years. His contract with Leverkusen is until 2025, in his explanation he will not extend his contract with Leverkusen. Currently he is 28 years old, he wants to try his hand at another club and maybe Munich is his goal for next season. Of course, de Ligt's departure will leave 1 slot empty. It seems that Kompany is interested because Tah played well during Euro 2024 with Germany.

I also doubt the authenticity of the news and if Arsenal have shown interest in Victor Osimhen it must have leaked somehow even if it was just a rumor. When teams came for Osimhen we all knew about it even when Saudi teams came it was everywhere, i doubt if Arsenal was willing to pay that much for Osimhen, they are known to be a team that can’t pay much for players.

There are certain levels you reach as a player that you will react to some coach decision and what transpired between Osimhen and Finidi, i think the player was disappointed and hurt that he couldn’t hide his frustration despite giving all for his National team. As a coach the way you address your players is how much respect they will give in return. Osimhen might have reacted to some coaches but they were all out of frustration and i don’t think he is that kind of a player and that shouldn’t be a reason why a team would not want his services.

Regarding the striker's disagreement with coaches, he had one with former French Napoli coach Rudi Garcia. The Nigerian reacted angrily at the coach when he was substituted.

The reason for the post is not to criticise the player but to derive some lessons. Some of the players you mentioned would have achieved more if they were well-behaved. Every coach will not sign a disrespectful player if they have other options.

Reacting angrily when subbed off is common among big players, Ronaldo have done it, Messi too have done and so many star players so Osimhen case is just being exaggerated.

Compared to Ballotelli and the above mentioned players i don’t think Osimhen is as disrespectful as any of them and that was why Chelsea didn’t hesitated when trying to bring him to Stamford Bridge, his anger is a controllable one.
