What's Newcastle doing lately by the way? Weren't they bought buy rich people?    They aren't taking much action as for making big signings. Clubs managed by rich people always aim to build a strong squad normally.

They are at least good with selling players for good sums this summer. As far as I can see, they have made 76 million euros from Elliot Anderson and Minteh until now. As for signings, Lewis Hall and Odysseas Vlachodimos are the only names I see.

I know they aren't very successful so it is also a factor for big names not to lean towards a deal with them. But they can still attract many other skilled players with paying nice sums to improve the squad.

[Oluwa-btc]

- Casemiro
- Lindelof
- Maguire
- Eriksen
- Antony
- Sancho

They are already looking for alternatives for these players. There isn't much time to go for next season to be underway so they had better make their plans efficiently.

Casemiro didn't do so well last season but, I do not think he should be amongst the names leaving Manchester United this season, he is a leader and I'd love to see him around until the season ends. Having him in the first team again would be no good idea, hopefully, they wrap up the deal for Manual Ugarte from Paris Saint Germany before the Premier League Competition kicks off.

Victor Lindelof can leave even for free, it seems like Jose Mourinho is doing everything possible to get him back together at Fenerbache.

Harry Maguire is no good example of a modern day defender, not even a typical Manchester United player. Imagine taking 190k for a fourth choice defender for a big club like Manchester United? I don't think Manchester United will have him around within the next two seasons truthfully. I don't know if he'll be on the move this season but we'll see.

Christian Eriksen has something to give but, you need a vibrant defensive midfielder behind him because he doesn't have the energy to track-back and defend balls.

Antony is a dead player but, oke last chance this season to revive his career. If the right offer comes in for Jadon Sancho, they should cash out. You'll be wondering if he'll be third choice winger behind, Antony, Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and then Garnacho next season.

Aaron Wan Bisakka and Scott MC Tominay also should be on the list but I don't know what's cooking. Erik needs a possession base squad, some players do not fit in for that.

When Newcastle was owned by the rich man Mohammed bin Salman,  at least at the time of the statement that they would not  rush to make major changes to the team. Thus, it seems that this is really happening because eventhough Newcastle has good finances, but they also only buy players who I think are ordinary. If so, then ofcourse it will be difficult for Newcastle to be strong in the standings to have an achievements.

Because after all, if the team does not have a guarantee to be able to compete strongly in the title race, then ofcourse the team will have difficulty getting good quality players. With that,I also do not really understand what Mohammed bin Salman's concept is in owning Newcastle, because until now Newcastle has not made major changes to be able to make the team have above average quality.

It's high time Manchester United begin to make younger talents  their priorities over older ones like the likes of Casemiro who's major contribution to the team is more of Leadership than hardwork, Casemiro might be very experienced but he's becoming weak and could hardly fall back after a high press, the team needs a younger and quicker player, someone that would be very active on the pitch like Rodri and Manual Ugarte is the right man for that job, he'll make the work of a pairing with either Bruno Fernandes/Kobbie or Mason Mount more easier for them, so United should hasten with that deal or rather resign Soyan Amrabat. As for Lindelof, Eriksen and Maguire, I think their time is up at Manchester United, they need to be cleared, to make room for new signings and selling three of them especially would go a long way to sign one to two more players. Talking about Antony, he's a good player but in case he's not sold or loaned out, he should work on making sure he makes up for his mistakes in the previous season, many United fans, would be wishing they keep Sancho for another season but it's the boards decisions that matters mostly and they want to sacrifice the sale of Sancho to be able to afford new players. One player that would be really missed is Aaron Wan-Bissaka, He's one of the players fans love mostly and would wish he stays for another season, but then let's not forget that Erik Ten Hags tactics at Ajax require a right back that could perform very well in attack whereas Wan-Bissaka is more good in defence with few knowledge of attacking and crossing. Scott Mctominay is a good player but I'll prefer they sale him.

Manchester United have always been a very big team, right now they have a very good team, I think they have enough material to be champions, even if they don't find more players I think they're doing great

I don’t really understand you, do you really mean Manchester United have a very good team right now? I don’t really think so, because if they have a very good team, then they won’t have ended last season in the position in which they ended it. I am sure it would have been in a better position. and I don’t thing with the players that Manchester United are having currently, they are going to perform well next season.
 
If Manchester City wants to perform well next season, then there are some things that are supposed to be done. If Manchester maintains their last season squad, then they are still going to disappoint most of their fans because they won’t be able to achieve anything serious by next season. Ten Hag really has lots to work on.

[Smack That Ace]

Donny van de Beek must be one of the biggest regrets for Manchester United by the way. Because they signed him for 39 million euros in 2020 but they sold him this month for only 500 thousand euros... 

From now on, this team will really need to be more careful with their signings. Like I said, for now INEOS is doing a good job. Ugarte was on their radar but still not progress as far as I can see. PSG is about to make Joao Neves deal official soon. I think it should be easier to agree with PSG on Ugarte signing after that but let's see. I'm curious who else is going to leave the Red Devils this summer too. There are candidates but no action yet.

Well, it seems like Erik ten Hag really doesn't have a good choice when it about to buying and selling players because after all, Donny van de Beek also came from Ajax before and it's possible that Erik ten Hag brought him too at that time. But in reality, Donny van de Beek was also a loan player until he was actually sold at this moment to Girona after previously Donny van de Beek was loaned to Everton and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Thus, it seems like it would be better for Manchester United not to involve Erik ten Hag in plans to buy and sell players in this transfer market. Because after all, if Erik ten Hag is still fully involved in choosing the players who are bought and sold, then I think mistakes will still occur which will certainly be detrimental to the team.

If Manchester United actually wants to improve financially, the coach of Manchester United will have to think about bringing in other players instead of players from Ajax. I understand that he had a good success with Ajax team and he probably has a emotional connection with that club. But just choosing players from Ajax is not a good idea for Manchester United right now as this same idea has proved to fail Manchester United very recently under the same coach. The current financial situation of Manchester United is because of the failed transfer decision of the coach Ten hag. That is why Manchester United is having to sell players for such less money and for such a loss. and let me not get started about Antony. I also think that Manchester United actually spoil some players that they bring in. I don't know understand how a young player can get so arrogant in a club like Manchester United. of course this indicate to the Incompetence of the managerial job of Manchester United.

I rarely hear about Newcastle in the transfer market this season, maybe I don't follow them too much, or maybe because they don't make many moves to get big name players, even though financially they are actually able to do that. If they don't do that, at least there are other processes they do such as regenerating and accommodating more young players, but they didn't do that either.

There was hope when they managed to be in the Champions League last season, because the previous season they managed to finish in the top 4 of the English League. However, in the Champions League they performed disappointingly by only being able to be the bottom with only collecting 5 points. Yes, even though I know they are not so lucky because they have to be included in the group of death which includes Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint Germain and also AC Milan. And 2 of them managed to reach the semifinals and even reached the final.

Liverpool are yet to make any signing this summer transfer window and that has been a surprise to many considering the fact that the club now have a new manager after their former manager left the club at the end of last season. The club's new manager two days ago revealed that he's very happy with the current set of players at the club and might end up this summer transfer window without bringing in a new player. For me, I don't think it'll be a good for the club but since the manager is okay with that, then we'll keep our fingers crossed and see how things pans out at the club next season.

Manchester United's team is not that bad, but what I just observed from the side is that they don't have a good head coach. If Manchester United can use that squad to defeat Liverpool and Manchester City in the final of the FA Cup, I believe that the squad is not bad. Do we know that the standard quality of players that Manchester United has? Aston Villa, which ended the season in the top four last season, did not have players up to the standard that Manchester United has.

If Manchester United can get a more tactical and talented head coach, all those quality players that are not performing well will start performing well. As for me, I still believe in Manchester United's players; they can do well next season if the head coach can be more disciplined with them. I can't say much, but even if Manchester United gets some more quality players with this head coach, they still might not improve that much.

After Newcastle's change of ownership I thought this team would probably transform into another Premier League giant. And we have seen an unprecedented change in Newcastle's overall performance since the change of ownership. Newcastle qualified for the Champions League for the first time. So we almost all thought that Newcastle management would probably surprise everyone this time by adding star players to their squad at high prices. But we don't see anything like that in the last two years.

Newcastle management are very cost conscious. And I don't think they have any desire to dominate the Premier League at the moment. They want to improve slowly. If Newcastle's management plans long term, then maybe we will see some stable performance from Newcastle over the next few seasons.
