Rashford is expected to be back at Manchester United soon. His future is still not certain. He was actually a really good rotational player for Barcelona this season. He made a 28 G/A in 49 matches in total!

That's hard to overlook you know... I don't know why Barcelona didn't want to keep him like a joker. They bluffed like they didn't have money. However they have just signed Anthony Gordon for €80m instead.  

Manchester United wants Barcelona to trigger the buy out clause of Marcus Rashford so he will not be back at Manchester United but as Barcelona are not ready to activate Marcus Rashford's buy out clause he will be back at Manchester United but Manchester United are going to sell him to any club that is interested in Marcus Rashford for higher fee. Marcus Rashford was really a good player for Barcelona he helped Barcelona win the la liga title, and i was expecting Barcelona would easily activate his buy out clause but i do not know what they are waiting for to sign him.

Rashford agent will probably be finding offers outside in order to get his man out of the club. Although, this might be more likely after the world cup or during it, I expect him to even give his all there since that will be a major factor of his move and United will appreciate such since that will help them to cash out something good.

I hope Barcelona make their stance more clearer in order for him to know what's next for him, trusting Barcelona management word as a loanee is the last thing that any should believed.

Tottenham barely saved themselves from relegation this year. This time things went much more serious for them compared to the season before.

This should be more than enough for them to start recovering somehow. De Zerbi move is good. I like it in the end he is the one who saved the team from a big danger!

Now he is in charge of transfers... This is also a good deal between the board and him. Just give him time and let him build a decent squad to bring back their old days in the league.

After surviving that relegation battle Tottenham are now preparing for next season alredy, so far they have been able to pull out 2 good free transfers. They have secured Robertson and senesi, These 2 players have are premier league experienced players and would bring in quality to Tottenham especially that back line. I believe De Zerbi will do a very good work at Tottenham next season.

Tottenham want to have a very good season next season and with at that I think a lot of players will be leaving the club and new ones will come in. Surviving the relegation battle was a miracle now they need to step up an act like a team we really know them to be.

Tottenham is trying to build a team that will not make mistakes that will make the club to want to get relegated next season, Tottenham make a good signing from the beginning of this season but unfortunately injuries and changing of coach affect the club and make them lose form to the extent that they nearly get relegated, Tottenham need to sign experience players not players that will come from another league and will not be able to perform well as the club is expecting from them.

If Tottenham is a good club and what to build the club they should never think of sacking De Zerbi, he has help the club when the club need him most and I believe if it was some coach they will not accept the job of becoming Tottenham manager, De Zerbi has coach many teams and he has built them and letting him do what he want is going to help the team to become of the strongest in the premier league.

Senesi to join Tottenham! That’s a transfer I’m not really excited about, not for Tottenham’s sake but for the players sake. I feel Bournemouth is a much better team than Tottenham at the moment and for Senesi to have being in agreement with such deal, well next season could be really different for Tottenham else, Senesi is a good player that should be where he would be nurtured good and to me, Tottenham isn’t that clubs at the moment.

Iraola is leaving Bournemouth this summer. Therefore it is difficult to make sure they would stay as the same team next season. It is up to who they bring for the manager seat.

As a result, I can't be sure of them to finish ahead of Tottenham next time. Yeah for 2 years, Tottenham have been in a big mess.

But now De Zerbi is in control of many things. The signings are also made according to his demands.

Tottenham may not have played well this season, but it's possible they could be much better than Bournemouth next season. What Tottenham needs to do is fix some of the issues that have arisen and bringing in some promising players next season will make the team much better. A team overhaul is needed, along with finding a new manager who can maximize the strengths of the players they have. Senesi's addition to the squad could improve Tottenham's strengths and we hope Tottenham can be even better next season.

Manchester United isn't a bad choice if fate decides to push Rashford back to his original club. Manchester has strongly improved following Carrick's management last season. If Barcelona fails to acknowledge Rashford's contribution to the team this past season it is best he returns back to where he can earn his merits in full other than hide under shadows and pretense.

Returning to Manchester United is not a problem for Marcos rashford, the only problem that makes him so desperate to remain in Barcelona is that he is being targeted at Manchester United anytime the team is not doing well.

The fans, pundit and ex players of Manchester United always finds a reason to make him an escape goat since he is one of the teams top earner, so it's because of that he doesn't want to go back to Manchester United, because he found peace at Barcelona, because he is not to be blame for anything that goes wrong at the club, unlike Manchester United. But since Barcelona has shown that they are not willing to sign him on a permanent deal, he will have to go back to Manchester United and see what fate have kept in store for him.

Marcus Rashford is not being targeted at Manchester United anytime the team is not doing well, the reason Marcus Rashford desperately wants to remain in Barcelona and never come back to Manchester United is because he used to arrive to Manchester United training late when Ruben Amorim was managing the Manchester United team, so Ruben Amorim decided to kept him on the bench to discipline him, Marcus Rashford could take the treatment he was receiving from Ruben Amorim and he granted an interview, he said shits about Manchester United in the interview, the interview was the beginning of Marcus Rashford down fall in Manchester United. Any day Marcus Rashford returns to Manchester United he will be sold.

Manchester United ex players and pundits are used to criticising players, Marcus Rashford is not the first Manchester United they are criticising for Manchester United poor performance. Marcus Rashford should have put any criticise he received from ex players of Manchester United or pundits behind him and focus on his career but the moment he said shits about Manchester United that is where he got it wrong, when Barcelona were knocked out of the champions league by Atletico Madrid, Barcelona fans blamed Marcus Rashford for their loss to Atletico Madrid, so do not say March Rashford is not to be blame for anything that goes wrong in Barcelona.

I don't think that a change of manager is needed at Tottenham Hotspur because too much of instability has made the team to struggle even more than necessary, so for them to stay competitive next season, they must prioritize stability, which is what they have lack in the past few years.
As for bringing in new and quality players, I agree with you on that. They need at least players that can improve the team, not players that will come in and start seating on the bench. It's only that way they can be competitive to the extent of making it to europe, as they have done in the past. And finally those players that are not adding value to the team should be shown the exit door, because they can't be earning much and be giving out little or nothing. So all these are needed for them to get back to the level they once were.

If Tottenham management wants to change their situation  then they will have to make big changes in their  squad. Tottenham management will  have to create big funds to buy players. Tottenham has no chance of improving unless they strengthen their squad. Tottenham's attack and defence are both weak. They have scored only  48 goals this season and conceded  57 goals. So unless they  make big changes in the squad and add talented players, tottenham's performance will remain erratic and weak next season as well.

On every year any premier League team is on the Europa you shouldn't expect low quality from them or if some team that was below them would take form than them because it doesn't present all time, so it will even be luck for Tottenham Hotspur to see Europa when they come back, so actually next season would be an excellent continuation of Bournemouth, and if there was some struggles under management this season for Bournemouth they will not be careless to manage it on the Europa, so any team that is giving this chance of Bournemouth would be looking for how the league would become there own, do you remember Tottenham Hotspur the year after they came were Bournemouth is?, they became strong by force, so perhaps in two season ahead is when you should expect it from Tottenham Hotspur to have this form than Bournemouth.

This is because Tottenham's situation has been quite fragile at the moment and if they do not make a good effort to change this too, they will suffer a lot in the next season. If they can spend money on their team, it can become a very big team and it can be very beneficial for them in the next season. For this, they will have to strengthen their coach and some players with new experience because their team has saved itself from the zone with great difficulty and now they should be able to make it to the top 10. For Tottenham's performance and strength, they should add good strikers and defenders so that they will score goals more easily and it can be easy for them to win. Now either they want to promote Tottenham, then they will have to pay something for strength this season and that is the funds they have.

The current squad of Tottenham Hotspur is filled with quality players yet they putting out average performances in most of their games this season. Signing new players that fits the tactical approach of Roberto De Zerbi will be good way to improve the team so they'll not end next season fighting for survival in the English Premier League like they've done in the last two seasons.
Apart from signing new players, the club management will also need to allow the manager take decisive decisions without interfering. Some of the past managers of the club have bitterly complained about some of the club management's actions. They should fully back De Zerbi to succeed.

it will do them well if they are able to fix that club because, like you said, no one will want to be relegated again because they already know what it feels like to be relegated and how it feels. and am sure they are already doing something about next season because, at the beginning of the season, they are always active but find it very hard to maintain consistency. and that is because they dont seem to have committed players; they need to build the mindset of there players for the greater good.

If Tottenham is a good club and what to build the club they should never think of sacking De Zerbi, he has help the club when the club need him most and I believe if it was some coach they will not accept the job of becoming Tottenham manager, De Zerbi has coach many teams and he has built them and letting him do what he want is going to help the team to become of the strongest in the premier league.

have not even heard just checked now and if sacking De Zerbi will help the club improve, then i dont see anything wrong with that because even in the first place the main purpose of him being there is for them to get results. and since they are not getting the result, then it's going to be a different story because as it stands, it takes commitment in football and they have appointed a new coach already so we should be hoping they will get a new result next season.

[jaberwock]

While there is a lower chance of Rashford going to Barcelona now, because they got Gordon, I still do not think that they are going to keep him for the season. There is a reason why he has played in other clubs for the past two seasons and I think they are going to keep doing that until his contract runs out.

I do think they want to sell him, they have been meaning to sell him for years now, but nobody is willing to buy so far. So if they can find someone to sell him, then they will, if they can't then loan again, but there is no way that he will be playing at the club. That bond between the player and the team got broken years ago, even while he was there, so there is no logic of them getting him back and playing him.

The players who carried over from last year haven't performed well enough. Perhaps it's time to replace the players who have been with the team for two years. A major change is needed among the players. The Premier League demands it. The Premier League is a tough place, and Tottenham always seemed like a top contender, but for the last two years they've been one of the teams teetering on the brink of relegation. If they want to return to their former glory, a major renewal among the players is necessary.

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

With all that poor performances from Liverpool in the champions league and the premier league which was a miracle how they were that lucky to save for themselves a champions league slot for next season.

It was simple to predict that the club may not need Arne Slot services for the next season after a poor second year with the club after coming in half way in his first season to win the premier league for Liverpool.

Andoni Iraola, is he a suitable choice of replacement for Arne slot? Were Liverpool in a haste to sack Slot, not giving him much time?

Slot had good intentions for Liverpool but the players he bought last season disappointed him with poor performance, being unfit and constantly being injured which really affected their game play, although they were lucky to qualify for the Champions League but it's understandable for the board to notice that it's not the standards they need and see reasons to change him.
 Andoni Iraola had a good season with Bournemouth especially in big matches, it couldn't be unnoticed that's why Liverpool has included him as one of the options for Arne Slot's replacement, I don't know if the kind of players Liverpool has would suit Iraola's tactics but he's a good coach and deserve to manage a big club.

I think Liverpool were already late in sacking him. Liverpool assembled a much better squad this year, but they finished far from the desired success. They failed to achieve their goals in both the Champions League and the Premier League. Mohamed Salah had a poor season. Many players fell far short of expectations. I liken it a bit to Manchester United's past. The players have performance potential, but they can't translate it onto the pitch. A change of manager will probably solve the problem.

Is this some kind of irony? Liverpool should have sacked Sloth much earlier, he completely ruined the entire season, and even with five Champions League tickets for the Premier League, Liverpool miraculously qualified for the Champions League the following year.
It should be noted that the dismissal of the head coach on the day of the Champions League final is most likely a deliberate move - they certainly do not want to attract too much attention to this event and are trying to avoid discussions since everyone will be busy with other things.

Liverpool are full of quality players, but having talented individuals doesn't automatically guarantee good performances. It takes a manager with the right approach to build chemistry and bring all those players together as a team.

I don't put all the blame on Arne Slot. He's always been known as a calm manager who isn't overly harsh with his players. However, with a squad full of star players, that kind of approach can sometimes make it difficult to build a truly strong and disciplined team. In my opinion, Liverpool need a modern manager who can combine tactical flexibility with stricter discipline. So from that perspective, parting ways with Arne Slot might have been the right decision for the club.
