Wait, isn't Jackson a striker and Garnacho a winger who plays mostly on RW and sometimes switches to the LW position! So what similarities does these two players have in common that Manchester United is looking at replacing Garnacho with Jackson? I just wonder what they are thinking. Jackson that hasn't adapted all these while even with the kinds of players Chelsea has, it's that same Jackson that Manchester United wants, lol. If the club doesn't know whom to buy anymore, they should just rest and wait till the season resumes

The long awaited Here We Go, is finally year.
Sporting accepted Arsenal's last bid of €63.5m + €10m according to Fabrizio Romano. It was a tough battle between both parties, but Arsenal has been much calmer in this window, thereby putting those that they are buying from in very tight corner.

I believe Arsenal fans are very happy at the moment, and Gyokeres should be far more excited to join the gunners. It's going to be a very tough season ahead considering the fact that the top big teams are recruiting good strikers. Let's see how Manchester united respond to this in the coming days.

So, what can we expect from Eric Ten Hag? He hopes he can return to the pinnacle of his coaching career and achieve the same success he achieved during his time with Ajax Amsterdam. This isn't just his first season coaching Leverkusen, but it's also his first coaching a Bundesliga club. He does have considerable coaching experience, but he lacks the experience to coach a Bundesliga club. And if, with ETH, Bayer Leverkusen can't maintain its status as a title contender, then hiring ETH as Leverkusen's new coach would be a poor decision by the club's owners. It's still too early to judge ETH, but the signs of Leverkusen's decline under ETH are already evident.

I didn't expect Manchester United to draw against Leeds. Right from this pre-season, I am expecting good results from Manchester United to show how serious they would be in the main season. I didn't watch the match but as you said, if Manchester United can play with their full squad and still draw against a team like Leeds, I don't really think they have a strong enough squad to compete in the main season.

It looks anyhow for a full Manchester United team to play Leeds without scoring any goals, it’s really bad to me. But let’s wait and see how the rest of the pre-season matches go. I know pre-season is not all about main season form, but I am expecting Manchester United to start showing that they are ready for the season. At the very least, they should give fans some hope by trying to win most of their pre-season matches.

It's getting more interesting, as Man City is back in the hunt for new players in this transfer window. They are currently targeting Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa, whose current market value is around €40,000 million, but Man City is reportedly bold and has submitted an offer of around €60 million. Diogo Costa is Portugal's mainstay goalkeeper, and his performance so far has been very promising and strong, making several crucial saves. And his height of 1.86 m is also quite helpful. Now, we are waiting to see how they are able to win the negotiation.

Even the Chelsea fans seeing this news they'll have to laugh about it because this player of theirs doesn't worth half of the amount they are tagging him with, unless they are just trying to scare clubs away which I feel is a terrible way to do so, for a player that doesn't know what next to do with the ball in a one on one situation, that's if he has a clear one on one chance of about 10 he will miss 8, hit 1 on the goalkeeper's body and score 1, he is that bad for to me honestly, a striker that lacks improvement to start with, I hope is just a rumor...does he worth that amount £80m-£100m?

Ronaldo is known from the early days of his career to have had some level of influence on his clubs and national team. He sometimes influences the players and coaches that the club management hires. This is also the case in Al Nassr. It is believed that he was behind the sacking of coach Stefano Pioli and the replacement with Jorge Jesus. He also used his reputation to influence the sacking of the club's CEO Majed Jamaan Al-Sorour and he also made sure the club replaced him with his close friend Jose Semedo.

Former Saudi Arabian Football Federation Spokesman, Mohammed Al-Sheikh, has frowned at this excess power given to the Portuguese captain. Al-Sheikh appreciates Ronaldo's positive contributions to the SPL but he thinks that his powers should have limits.

A sports news outlet football.london claimed that Barcelona is also interested in signing the Brazilian international. Rodrygo said he respects Real Madrid and wants to remain in the club. But it seems Xabi Alonso prefers other strikers, as shown in the FIFA World Club event.  So he might want to leave for a place where he would be appreciated more. Real might be open to let him leave for €100m (£85m), and it might be hard for clubs to afford that amount, except there are other agreements, like player swaps.

The people judging Erik Ten Hag by the defeat Bayern Leverkusen conceded against Flamengo U20 should know that Erik Ten Hag winning his preseason matches doesn't justify that he will do well at Bayern Leverkusen next season; they should wait until the new German Bundesliga season starts, and if Erik Ten Hag fails to do well at Bayern Leverkusen, they can start judging him.

I have heard that Bayern Munich is after the youngster Nick Woltemade (23). He is a SS mainly but can play as CF and AM as well. However there is a problem...

They made a huge offer like 55 million euros + 10% sell-on clause to Stuttgart. But it was still rejected.    His market value is 30 million euros. However it seems like they have an abnormal price tag in their mind.

Is he really worth that much you think? He had an average season the last time. He started to play in the main squad of German national team too. But I don't think he is worth a huge amount now.

Tottenham have also hired Thomas Frank as their new manager, and with the addition of a squad overhaul, Tottenham should be able to perform even better next season. Tottenham actually have a significant burden on their shoulders next season, they must first repair their reputation in the Premier League, while hoping to advance further in the Champions League. Thomas Frank certainly understands the club priorities and the intensity of competition in each competition. Expectations for Tottenham are not particularly high in the Champions League, but I believe they can once again enliven the competition in the European zone.

Here we go! Marcus Rashford to Barcelona. Finally, what he wanted is coming true. He's only a few steps away until he will able to wear Barcelona's jersey. There's no concrete talk about how much Barcelona's offer for him, but i've heard they wanted him for intermediaries loan + option to buy.
That's obvious he must be working harder to win Flick's heart to keep stay in Barcelona once he successfully join there. Wish him luck!

What makes you think Roma will be significantly better this season than last? They also have some of the same players. Neither player is a player, so it won't directly impact their performance on the pitch, unless Roma brings in some quality players to significantly strengthen their squad. Let alone aiming for the Scudetto, finishing in the top three will be much more difficult for Roma if they rely solely on their current squad.

Roma is indeed one of the strongest teams in Serie A, but the rise of Napoli, Inter Milan, and several other teams will make it difficult for them to compete for the title. I only predict Roma will aim for a top-five finish next season, as chasing the Scudetto is no easy feat.

Currently watching the Manchester United vs Leeds game, first half 0-0 as expected   And as things stand United not a full squad just seeing how the new signings like Cunha fit in but of course can't tell because youngsters are playing here today as a mixed team...but when all players are back for duty, we should expect to now see how well the team will settle in and hope it's for the best after reinforcements..but the defense needs a few bolts to make it better.

This reminds me of the time when Zidane coached Real Madrid and they won the UCL three times in a row. Many said Zidane wasn't a genius coach, but he was lucky to coach Real Madrid alongside the prime Ronaldo. His passing tactics to Ronaldo became a topic of conversation on social media at the time. But what's not known is that teams with star players usually have big egos. Everyone wants to be the main character, and that's what can make a team with many star players fail. But Zidane was able to overcome each player's ego so they could play collectively. Real Madrid currently also has many star players, especially in the attack. Mbappé and Vini are two of the best strikers in the world today. They have big egos to score goals, become top scorers, and win individual trophies because they have the ability to do so. This will be Xabi's first job: to make Real Madrid play more collectively as a team, rather than individually.

I'm just curious, how come we haven't heard of this until of recent about Thomas Partey? For 4 years now no issues has surfaced about this rape allegations that's coming up now. His a free agent now after he asked for salary increment before signing a new deal and Arsenal refused that increment. All of a sudden the rape case has resurfaced and his now even charged. Could it be that Arsenal has been the ones shielding this case and preventing it from coming to light? Could it be that as him and Arsenal are no longer in the same camp that's why this case has resurfaced again? Hmmmm!
