Romano reports that France is getting closer to sign an agreement with Zidane. So i hope it's getting completed asap. It's enough to see Deschamp coached France in the same way like he did since a few years ago. So i think the decision to bring in Zidane will give a joy and refresh club's spirit.

Zidane is also seeing this france coach as a special spot for him. He's even rejecting all of applications came to him since 8 months ago to take this job.

I hope he can help France to sort out their midfielders problem asap.

8 months?   I think it was irony from Fabricio, since everyone knows that Zidane has been waiting for a place in the French national team for several years. He'll finally be coaching the French national team, which is good news for French fans. Deschamps was good, but he didn't go above and beyond - he was delivering the expected results. Zidane is something else - he's more ambitious, and I think under him the team won't show the same lackluster performances they did against Spain.

I think Zidane had been wanting the France manager’s job for at least three or four years, now there’s a generation of absolute stars, and in four years’ time they will all be at the peak of their technical and athletic abilities. Having won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, if he were to win a World Cup or a European Championship with France as well, we would be looking at one of the very best managers in history in terms of the ratio of matches played to trophies won.

Everyone knows that Zidane is going to be France head coach since the former coach announced that he will leave after the World Cup, the former coach tried his best and he also deserves his flowers for what he has done for France, he has help France to win a World Cup and some trophies, Having Zidane as the next coach is the best because I believe he is the best for the country, France is his country where he has won many trophies with and leading the young generation will help the players.

Zidane has been offered many chances to coach many teams including Real Madrid and he rejected the proposal because he believe that he will coach France, according to many sources is that the agreement is done and the only thing remain is to sign and they are planning to give him a huge salary that will be the best coach in ghe world, i can’t wait to see Zidane in action as a coach.

Another signing is on the way by Aston Villa... They are going to compete in the Champions League next season in the end. They need to keep the squad solid after departures as well.

Tielemans has already left for Manchester United and they wanted to fill his space with Joao Gomes. Do you believe he is a good replacement? He is 25 which means he is younger than Tielemans.

But let's see whether he will manage to perform at least the same as him. 

Aston Villa knows how to do business and also know how sign players, i always admire them with the way they sign players and build them, Unai Emery has built many players from their young age and made them become one of the best, i remember when they sign Roger and Onana with just a low price and now those players are very important for Aston Villa, signing a player from Wolves is a very good move because many top players in the team will want to leave the club after relegated.

Aston Villa will only sell Tielemans because they have another target in their list if not they will not sell him because the player is very important to them, they are playing Champions League that is why they will not want to sell some of their best players, Arsenal also want to sign Morgan Roger and it looks like Aston Villa don’t want to sell because they are asking for more than 100 million.

Did you know Hernández Cascante Rodri is one match away to complte football?

Since Rodri has been a crucial part of Spain's triumph, and if Spain wins the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He will be part of the players that have completed football in terms of individual honors and major trophies.

FIFA World Cup (incoming)
UEFA European Championship (Euro 2024) ✔️
UEFA Champions League ✔️
Premier League ✔️
FA Cup ✔️
EFL Cup ✔️
FIFA Club World Cup ✔️
UEFA Super Cup ✔️
Community Shield ✔️
UEFA Nations League ✔️
Ballon d'Or ✔️

Sunday will determine his fate 

And even if he fails to win the FIFA World Cup Competition, he'd still remain an elite midfielder.

He will always be amongst one of the greatest midfielders to play this game of football.

Atlétic, Physical, Technical, A leader and also a goalscorer.

The 2010 Spanish side was fortunate to win it with Sergio Busquet, hopefully they can do same with Rodri.

In fact, even without winning the World Cup, Rodri is already one of the best midfielders in the world. However, it would be the perfect achievement if Rodri won the World Cup, as he would become the first Spanish midfielder to win every major trophy and individual award.

Spain has indeed been blessed with many great midfielders, and we’ve seen that over the years. Now Rodri is one step away from achieving his dream of winning the World Cup trophy.

I think Zidane had been wanting the France manager’s job for at least three or four years, now there’s a generation of absolute stars, and in four years’ time they will all be at the peak of their technical and athletic abilities. Having won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, if he were to win a World Cup or a European Championship with France as well, we would be looking at one of the very best managers in history in terms of the ratio of matches played to trophies won.

Zidane will have players who are at their peak performance for the next few years. We know the current French squad is also the best, even though they eventually lost to Spain. But with Zidane in charge, there’s hope for the growth of the French national team in the future. Still, Spain might continue to be tough. They also have talented players.

I can't for a fact say that because there haven't been any serious club attraction on him and neither did he reje t any because of this fact, if I can remember correctly.

Zidane is really strategic and technical coming from his break to remind everyone why his short spare as a manager is always impactful.

The France squad are often with generational stars especially in the attack and midfield, we know this will benefit Zidane greatly and things will more likely be more exciting under him, and yet not disrupting Deschamps impact.

A very good performance with Argentina in the World Cup has made Julian Alvarez highly sought after by big teams. There are rumors that Arsenal will replace Gyökeres with Álvarez. But Arsenal has to compete with Barcelona, as Atletico is offering a transfer of more than €150 million. This condition is certainly a lot of money for Barcelona, they still seem to be financially struggling.

The new season approaching with the speed of light and the defending Champions are running up deals so they can compete hard enough for the new season.

After the sale of Trossard to Besiktas, Arsenal already came to agreement with the Belgium side Club Brugge over the signature of the Greece international Christos Tzolis for 40m euros. He is officially the newest Arsenal player and a here we go has been agreed. I am yet to see him play, but we will see to that eventually in the coming weeks.

Zidane will ultimately coach France given his repeated rejections from several clubs we finally realize his goal is to coach the national team. And yes, Zidane arrival in France marks the beginning of a new era.

Of course, France having consistently had a strong squad for a decade, will never run out of talented players. Furthermore with Zidane now in charge he's proven to be a coach capable of bringing success as he did with Real Madrid.

It's safe to say that with Zidane's current squad, France likely won't run out of ammunition anytime soon, especially players like Mbappe, Doue, Olise, and Dembele. If they all remain at their best these four players still have the potential to appear at the 2030 World Cup, as Doue will be 25, Olise 28, Mbappe 31, and Dembele 33. In fact it is not impossible that some will survive until the 2034 World Cup.

Argentina's impressive run in the FIFA World Cup I don't think is the reason why Julian Alvarez value or demand has increased. Even before the FIFA World Cup, it's been reported that different big clubs in Europe like Barcelona and Real Madrid are trying to sign him.

About the rumour that Arsenal wants to replace Victor Gyokeres with Alvarez, I don't think it's true. Gyokeres is still a quality striker, so if Arsenal really want to sign Alvarez, they simply want to improve their options and quality not to replace a player that's still regarded as kne of the best strikers in England at the moment.

But will Arsenal pay such amount for Alvarez? I actually doubt.

He is officially the newest Arsenal player and a here we go has been agreed. I am yet to see him play, but we will see to that eventually in the coming weeks.

Trossard is a very good player, in fact, as an Arsenal fan, since he joined Arsenal from Brighton, he has been in good form and was my best finisher in Arsenal attacking line, his goal scoring ability was very intense because he is an intelligent and an experienced player that knows exactly what to do.

Arsenal team as a whole will really miss him, he helped the team won the league because he scored some important goals towards the end of the season; therefore, we will miss him, and we wish him the best in his career.

I never expected this caliber of player to be Trossard replacement, I was expecting a very high class winger with Champions League experience to replace him so that the team will be better and will not miss Trossard that much, but it’s still not bad and I wish Christos Tzolis did well at Arsenal.

Spain has indeed been blessed with many great midfielders, and we’ve seen that over the years. Now Rodri is one step away from achieving his dream of winning the World Cup trophy.

Rodri is a great midfielder. He is very experienced. We may not see many goals or assists from Rodri. But he has the ability to change the entire scenario of the match at any time. He did not score or assist in 7 matches of the World Cup. Even then, his presence was fully visible in the match. He is one of the most important players in the Spain squad. Let's see if he can touch the World Cup.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Joke aside, Garnacho is not a bad player, he just needs a good coach to make him fit into the system.

This player is very good, but he needs to be given confidence. I think he fared badly when he went against Messi and preferred CR7. For me, this is the kind of thing I don't like. The player is very good, but I think it's what you say: he needs a good coach to shine more. He scores good goals, he adapts, but they have to polish him a little more. He needs it. For me, it was a mistake to bring in Lautaro and not Garnacho.

[Fiatless]

But with Zidane in charge, there’s hope for the growth of the French national team in the future. Still, Spain might continue to be tough. They also have talented players.

This was Zidane's expectation; that was why he has always rejected offers from clubs. The former Real Madrid coach has been successful both as a player and manager. Coaching a club is a different experience when you manage a national team. We say one of the best coaches in the world, Carlo Ancelleti fail in the World Cup. So Zidane would have to be set for another competitive phase of his managerial career.

Aston Villa will only sell Tielemans because they have another target in their list if not they will not sell him because the player is very important to them, they are playing Champions League that is why they will not want to sell some of their best players, Arsenal also want to sign Morgan Roger and it looks like Aston Villa don’t want to sell because they are asking for more than 100 million.

Let’s get it clear, Aston Villa didn’t sell Tielemans or should I say they didn’t want to sell him rather what happened was that Tielemans couldn’t reject Manchester United when they asked for him through his agent and instead of entering into a bid way with another club Manchester United just paid the release clause and by doing so once the player accepts the parent club doesn’t have any right to not accept and this the reason why FIFA wants every player to have a release clause in the contract in their new rules so some clubs don’t hold the player to ransome even though the player wishes to move. But what I think most clubs will be doing now will be to actually put a very unrealistic fee as release clause on their players. During contract signing I will say player need to start looking at this certain details before they commit themselve somewhere for ever.

About the rumour that Arsenal wants to replace Victor Gyokeres with Alvarez, I don't think it's true. Gyokeres is still a quality striker, so if Arsenal really want to sign Alvarez, they simply want to improve their options and quality not to replace a player that's still regarded as kne of the best strikers in England at the moment.

But will Arsenal pay such amount for Alvarez? I actually doubt.

I wouldn’t argue about Gyokeres which you tag one of the best strikers in the premier league i accept because he is one of them but definitely very low in the ranking.

Yes I don’t think Arsenal will be making such a financial mistake of including Viktor Gyokeres in Julian Alvarez deal but Arsenal definitely needs this Julian Alvarez because he can definitely play any in the attacking positions which will be one of the best assets for squad depth most especially with Trossard already sold and that means they lack options upfront.
For the fee 150 million is huge but i wouldn’t rule out anything from the transfer market and Arsenal are actually with money and under Arteta they don’t Shy away from spending big. We saw them break transfer records with the notable been Rice for over 100 million.

Julian Alvarez is a very good player, but I don't think that he has performed to well in the world cup. Concerning interest from Arsenal,  I really think that it's a genius one, but I don't think he is worth €150 million. If Arsenal really want to spend that much on Julian Alvarez,  I think they should rather try to get someone like Vinicius Junior,  because I think he is a player that will definitely improve the team immediately compared to Julian Alvarez.  I also don't think that it's a good deal to include Gyokeres to the deal. It will be better if they can have both in the same team, because they are two different kind of strikers.

It would be a very foolish move for Arsenal to force Alvarez's transfer fee, especially considering Gyokeres's reliability. Furthermore, Barcelona has been very interested in signing Alvarez since Lewandowski left the club and has been searching for a replacement with comparable talent. So, it's possible Barcelona will be determined to sign the player.

But this is just my speculation.

[Finebone]

In fact, even without winning the World Cup, Rodri is already one of the best midfielders in the world. However, it would be the perfect achievement if Rodri won the World Cup, as he would become the first Spanish midfielder to win every major trophy and individual award.

I believe that if he can win the world cup, he is going to surpass the likes if xavi Hernandez, andre iniesta, bousquet and xabi Alonso, because none of these players were able to win the ballon d'Or during their playing days, so it's only the world cup trophy that is not part of his achievement so far, but if they can win the world cup trophy on Sunday against the Argentine, he may go down as the greatest midfielder in history of Spanish football.

His playing career took a quick turn for the better the moment he made the switch to Manchester City under pep guardiola. Since then he has became a monster in the middle of the pitch in the colours of Manchester City and in the Spanish national team, so winning this world cup will be the perfect send off party he is going to have in the Spanish national team.

Furthermore, Barcelona has been very interested in signing Alvarez since Lewandowski left the club and has been searching for a replacement with comparable talent. So, it's possible Barcelona will be determined to sign the player.

But this is just my speculation.

There is also a point of interest in Alvarez. As far as I know, Alvarez is interested in going to Barcelona, ​​so Barcelona will have the most opportunity to move this player to the team. But Barcelona's financial crisis has become the biggest obstacle to this deal. However, in any case, Arsenal may not succeed in taking Alvarez to the team, whether he will return to the Premier League or not is a bigger question! We will get the final result about Alvarez only after the World Cup is over, does Alvarez stay at Atletico Madrid or does he go to a new club, and which club will it be? We will see the answer to all of this after the World Cup is over.
