Getting frustrated that Liverpool haven’t signed another striker yet. The transfer window closes on Monday, seems we are having to wait for Newcastle to get a replacement before we can bid for Isak again.

They are totally incompetent and nobody wants to join them so I think we may have to move on now and get somebody else.

It looks like Liverpool and Isak have promised each other since last season. Isak did not want to play for Newcastle again because he wants to join Liverpool, and Newcastle just signed a new striker from Stuttgart. Newcastle needs a striker, and since Isak wants to join Liverpool, they have decided to sign another striker. It is up to Liverpool to sign Isak for the sum Newcastle wants to sell him for. Newcastle wants 150 million, which Liverpool believes is too much. Liverpool is willing to pay 120 million, but Newcastle wants more. Newcastle will stress Liverpool before allowing Isak to leave the team.

Xavi Simons is planning his future.
He is in London according to Fabrizio Romano.
He wants to leave for Chelsea but also Spurs are interesting in the player.
More news will probably come out during the day.

Chelsea is interested in Xavi Simon, but Chelsea has not made any concrete moves because the clubs have not reached an agreement with each other. Tottenham is serious if Xavi Simon is willing to join them. Tottenham are now targeting many players as Manchester City has blocked the move of Savinoh. Joining Tottenham will be better than joining Chelsea for Simon because Chelsea has many players and he will need to play well to be a starter, but if he joins Tottenham, he will be a starter.

I laugh when Arsenal fans complains that Trossard is not a good player, but I still remember how many times Trossard has scored for Arsenal with the little minutes he has been playing for the team. They already have Martinelli and Trossard in that wing adding Rodrygo will be a disaster and unless they sell one of them but so far there's no news about Arsenal willing to sell any of them.

The main issue with Trossard lately has been his fitness level ^{[specifically endurance]} while also becoming susceptible to different injuries ^{[unfortunately]}... Martinelli has been underperforming for the past two seasons and I really don't think he's suitable for the LW position ^{[IMO, Arteta should rotate him with Gyökeres instead (Martinelli played well in that position before and at the start of Arteta's era)]}. In other words, Rodrygo will get enough time ^{[if we sign him]} on that LW position ^{[even with those two remaining in our club]}.

Here we go Garnacho to Chelsea is done!! The most interesting thing is that Chelsea gets him a bit less than £40m. It means they have pretty big discount from MU's asking price, which is around £50m. He agrees for 7 year contract, but his salary is not yet disclosed, but i believe a slightly improvement happen. Wish him luck by wearing the blue shirt!!!!

Not many will agree but Garnacho was overpriced by MU, Chelsea bought at a fair price, let's not see it as a discount because the player isn't supposed to worth that much based on his performance level. Hopefully he matches the energy at Chelsea,  Chelsea has a big target this season, in the Champions League and Premier League, the club needs players with that exact energy, with the current squad Chelsea are already pulling great performance, Garnacho better be of significant benefit.

The Manchester United player has now found a club, in fact his only goal was Chelsea, which may have already succeeded because we can see that the club has signed a seven-year contract with the Argentine player. It is largely correct that the Blues are already having a fairytale season as they have now become extremely dominant in most matches, they have even recently added a strong talented player to Man United, which will further strengthen the foundation of this team. Right now we can see that two young Argentine players can create synergy together at Chelsea Football Club because Enzo Fernandez has been with this club for a long time and he won the Club World Cup with Chelsea.

The Rodrygo deal is not even close; higher wages and high asking fees and his future at the club is still uncertain, he hasnt been playing since Xabi came in and also he seems not to be too bothered about moving elsewhere.

Wasn't Maduake signed to fill the LW position?  I saw a number of Chelsea games before he moved to Arsenal. I told some Arsenal supporters that Maduake isn't going to address their LW problems because he has a weak right foot and prefers to cut and shoot with his left foot, which can only be done from the RW position.  At Chelsea, he was a liability on the LW everytime he moved there.

In addition to Milan, I have heard of some other European teams also being after Akanji recently.

Actually Galatasaray has already been in talks for him. They have reached an agreement with Manchester City too but still no green light on the player side...

I wonder, what is taking him so long?    He isn't a starter at his team anymore and not much time left for the end of the transfer window for European leagues.

After spending a significant amount of money to bring in Victor Osimhen and several other players, I thought Galatasaray would end their involvement in the summer transfer market. However, it seems that what they have done is not enough to strengthen the depth of their squad, and Galatasaray are still trying to compete in the transfer market to bring in Manuel Akanji. The decision now rests with the player, but from what I've read, Akanji has outright rejected Galatasaray's offer, before AC Milan came along to tempt him.

Akanji is now truly torn, but if he wants to continue playing in one of Europe's top five leagues, he could move to Serie A and join AC Milan. However, if he wants to compete in the Champions League, his choice is to join Galatasaray. He must make a decision quickly before the transfer window closes; otherwise, he will only be a benchwarmer at Manchester City, as he is clearly not Pep Guardiola's first choice at the moment.

Some players and clubs want to use the transfer window until the last minute. This is because last-minute transfers are either too expensive or too cheap. This may be the reason why many transfers fail to be completed. Galatasaray reached an agreement with Manchester City for Akanji, but there is no agreement with the player yet.

Galatasaray has made and continues to make very expensive transfers. They are strengthening their squad, but when several star players join the same team, managing them can become difficult. Okan Buruk is a successful manager and I believe he can overcome this. Galatasaray could acquire other players before the transfer window closes.

I doubt any team will eventually sign Rodrygo looking at his recent performance and then matching it with his wage demand and club transfer fee.

Noni Madueke can still do well at Arsenal but expecting crosses from him should be less, at least he can add some threat to their attacks and if he is not being greedy improve team play.

Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea, deal done!

This is good boost to Chelsea’s forward lines, I hope he gets to play better here than he did during his time at Manchester United. He was a good attacker but later faded in performance, hope that zeal reignite more again in Chelsea.

Liverpool is ready to go all in for Alexander Isak, another massive deal incoming.

This is one of the deal I’m really anticipating that it works out. Now that Newcastle have gotten a green flag to sign a new striker from Stuttgart, they can now feel the need to let Alexander Isak go, since he’s also not interested in playing for the team again after a better offer came from Liverpool.

A lot of deals are close to be done since market is closing soon.

When market are closed, one can easily tell how a team is going to perform in the new season. Analysis can be done based on the current players on the team rather than having to guess like one did before. Looking forward to see how all team squad depth looks at the closure of the transfer window.

[Alpha Marine]

Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea, deal done!

This is one of those deals I'm so sure will be a bad deal for the player. I don't know what Garnacho is trying to prove but he won't make it in Chelsea. He will just be another player that will be sold after a season or two for big money. Thats if he can generate more money. Chelsea don't need the player. I heard he rejected Bayern Munich for Chelsea, a decision he might regret.

Nick Woltemade to Newcastle

Once I saw the Woltemade news, I knew it will have a ripple effect on Isak. I eliev Newcastle just wanted to guarantee a replacement before they let go of Isak. If Liverpool submits an improved bid, Newcastle may be forced to accept. I hope they accept because Isak will fit in perfectly to Liverpool and I would like to watch that.

I'm certain that if Alejandro Ganacho move to Chelsea he will do wonders there at least we've seen it in most of Manchester United players when they are at Manchester United they play rubbish but when once they move to another team you will see the best of them I don't just know why it's like that, Rasmus Hojlund deal to Napoli might be a good one for him as he will face less pressure than that of Manchester United, and for Liverpool I think what they should be looking at right now is how to strengthen their defense because with this few matches played I can clearly tell that their defense is nothing to write home about, so if I'm to be Slot I will look more on the defense line then maybe January transfer window he can buy Alexander Isak.

[slapper]

In fact, I believe that the delay is intentional. Check the trend: Guardiola does not include him vs Spurs but youngsters such as Khusanov are on the bench. That is a clear hint that he is surplus. Milan were in a panic following that Cremonese defeat (xGA of just 0.2 yet they still conceded two goals) and they made demands on Aug 28. Gala lost their Champions League playoff and instantly re-signed Wilfried Singo (~30m) to 2030. So their hurry simply slipped. You are Akanji, why hurry to sign a pay-cut contract with Milan when you have 10 days more in the Turkish market? Not to mention that all it takes is one injury at a large Euro club before Sept 1 and a panic buy bid comes in. He is 30, Swiss, Champions League experience, accuracy in passes 96.6, provides 3.1 balls per 90, wins about 56% of the duels. It is a stabilizer in a ready-made package. Some one will be in need of that. So the stall may not be indecision. It is maintaining the three lanes open:

(1) wait for Milan to bend wages,

(2) let Gala come up into the €10–11m gross range,

(3) stay free for a late panic move

I'm certain that if Alejandro Ganacho move to Chelsea he will do wonders there at least we've seen it in most of Manchester United players when they are at Manchester United they play rubbish but when once they move to another team you will see the best of them I don't just know why it's like that, Rasmus Hojlund deal to Napoli might be a good one for him as he will face less pressure than that of Manchester United, and for Liverpool I think what they should be looking at right now is how to strengthen their defense because with this few matches played I can clearly tell that their defense is nothing to write home about, so if I'm to be Slot I will look more on the defense line then maybe January transfer window he can buy Alexander Isak.

Manchester United reputation continues to decline, and they seem to have lost their ability to develop their players talent. Garnacho might be another player who shines after leaving Manchester United, even if he has to fight hard for a spot in Chelsea starting lineup. Similarly, it seems Hojlund will also be able to shine again once he joins Napoli. If Manchester United lets Onana go, the goalkeeper might also rediscover his best form.

On the other hand, Liverpool defense looks very weak, they've conceded four goals in two matches so far, which clearly isn't good for a title contender. Arne Slot should consider recruiting new players for the defense while the transfer window is still open. There's no point in having a sharp striker if their defense remains leaky.

I heard he rejected Bayern Munich for Chelsea, a decision he might regret.

For some certain reason I also don’t agree with Garnacho decision going for Chelsea instead why not go for other club, he will be signing a 7 year contract with Chelsea although 7 years is too long playing for Chelsea. Just wondering why every good player wants to leave Manchester United, they’re not the first to perform poorly and I’m not blaming anyone about their performance this recent times including the coach most people blame. Mainoo leaving Manchester United for a loan offer doesn’t sound right for Manchester United yet at the moment they don’t have an option rather grant Mainoo this offer, I’m more worried about the club imagine how they’ll be able to perform well.

Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea, deal done!

Now the transfer has been done meanwhile this is not the end, we might see some more shocking transfer news in the late hours especially on the deadline day. Garnacho saw something big at Chelsea when Sancho was at the club but he could have done more to convince Chelsea to get him completely, talking about Sancho, that's why I have that feeling that Garnacho did not only wanted to leave UTD but also leave them and join a club with the set of players that have same ideas and are young too. I can't just place it but that's how is suppose to be for him to continue pushing his way out from the toxic environment at Old Trafford, he can do better but my problem is the much players that Chelsea have that plays the same position as Garnacho, how can he cope?

Having been a Real Madrid player since 2015, the 34-year-old right-back finally made a free transfer to Leverkusen. The deal is valid until June 30, 2027. He will wear the number 21 shirt. Despite his advanced age, he could still be a key member of Leverkusen's defense. At least for the next two seasons.

He's a defender, but he's short. He's just 5'7 feet, most defenders are at least 5'9 feet. He often enter as a starter in Real Madrid, but his career on his national team is very low, he no longer include in the squad since 2018.
Let's see what Vazquez can give to Leverkusen, they're quite bad lately.

Yes, physically he is, but he was quite strong during his golden age. It's just that in the Spanish national team, because it's Spain, there are many talents who are much stronger there, and the competition is very tight. Yes, unfortunately, ten Hag still can't optimize his tactics significantly to improve Leverkusen's performance, but hopefully Vázquez can help Leverkusen's back line quite well.

Anyway, the VfB Stuttgart striker, Nick Woltemade, has finally agreed a deal to Newcastle, with a €85 million fee package, pending medical tests. This is considered a crucial step for Isak's progress to Liverpool, perhaps.

I agree that Donnarumma's asking price isn't excessive, but it's unreasonable to ask for such a high sum for a player whose contract expires at the end of the year. Furthermore, Paris Saint-Germain doesn't seem to be making much of a bid to renew his contract. If it were me, I'd pay him the money he wants and keep him, as he's a goalkeeper whose contribution to the team has always been top-notch.

There are many players who have a fairly high market price but if you see their appearance is not so comparable to the price. Donnarumma has done the best in Paris Saint-Germain and its contribution to the team is seen more clearly last season, with some of the success achieved by the team and the achievements of the individual, so that the price requested by Paris Saint-Germain for the team who want it at this time should not be too expensive. The contract problem will be detrimental to PSG but for other teams it should not be a problem regarding the price with the quality shown by Donnarumma.

Douglas Luiz goes as a "loan" with obligation to buy. That means, they are going to pay his salary for this year, and then they are paying 3 million to Juventus to loan him, and at the end of the season they are going to end up with a 30 million purchase instead. That is going to be a lot better for all of us and we are going to see Notthingham use him a lot better.

Of course it is not that complicated but I still wonder why he didn't worked out well in Juventus, that's a good player and he deserved to be played and if he was given enough time then we would see him play a great game if Juventus gave him any chance. But for some reason they didn't really worked out together, not sure if that is bad though, he can do great at Forrest.

This transfer is a meh and i don't like this. How the hell Newcastle is paying 70m euro for someone that nobody knows. Newcastle is literally losing their logic. Their ship will shrink with this dumb transfer. Nick is not even some inches of Isaak's performance.

Nick came from Stuttgart with fewer goals, and it's obvious he's not an exciting prospect.

Yep, his market value is just 33 Million Euros, they spent 2.5x extra just to get him.

He's only good for one season and he's not even able to score when he played for Germany, it's very expensive.

I understand Newcastle United is struggle to find a striker who willing to play for them, they got many rejections from other greater players. But, with such amount they should able to get better player.

Anyway, with this transfer, it's high likely Isak will join Liverpool.
