Postecoglou nearing departure after poor Spurs hand Chelsea a ‘catalyst’ with £5m Sancho decision enticing

Ange Postecoglou appears to be in a dire situation, as the Europa League rescue seems improbable following Spurs’ absence against Chelsea, who ought to cover the costs for sending Jadon Sancho back to Manchester United...  Chelsea's lackluster display against Arsenal raised doubts about their desire to win, as Enzo Maresca's team seemingly let their London competitors secure a comfortable victory.  This poor performance resulted in Chelsea having the same points total as Manchester United since their pursuit of the Premier League title began to fade in mid-December.  During this period, Spurs have fared even worse since only Championship-bound Southampton, Leicester City, and Ipswich Town have garnered fewer points in 2025 than Postecoglou’s team in the Premier League.  Tottenham’s injury issues are a relevant factor, but even their makeshift squad has significantly underachieved and failed to show up in far too many matches this season.  Their injury concerns h...

Manchester United adds RB Salzburg's winger to their transfer wish list.

By Damerex -

According to reports, Manchester United has started preliminary discussions over a potential deal for Nene Dorgeles, a forward for RB Salzburg.

At the beginning of 2021, the Mali international left Guidars FC in his own country to join the Austrian powerhouses. The left winger with the right foot started to establish himself in Salzburg's first squad after three loan stints in two and a half years.

Nene has been a mainstay of the first squad this season after a season of adjustment that nonetheless resulted in five goals in the top tier. Despite Salzburg's miserable season, which resulted in manager Pep Lijnders' quick dismissal in December, Nene has already eclipsed his goal total from the previous campaign.

Manchester United has expressed interest in the 22-year-old after he finished 2024 with five direct goal contributions in three league games, according to Fabrizio Romano. 

Nene has apparently been added on the Premier League team's transfer shortlist; a move in January or next summer is both possible. Initial discussions over a transfer price have already taken place between the two teams.

Salzburg's asking price will determine United's future interest in Nene. Since taking over as 'Head of Global Soccer' in January, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been in charge of the first club in Red Bull's football empire. Klopp has a history of selling their young players.

To mention just three, former Reds forward Sadio Mane, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, and Manchester City's Erling Haaland all attended the Austrian training camp before joining the Premier League.

Trophyless XI of players pursuing FA Cup success includes English duo Eze and Watkins

Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace are seeking their first trophies as they compete for FA Cup triumph in 2025. But what concerning the players without pots? We have you supported with a lineup assured to secure sixth place in the Premier League.  GK: Bart Verbruggen [Brighton] Netherlands' top player Verbruggen kicks off our trophyless XI, as his Brighton team gets ready to face the Premier League's third-best squad, Nottingham Forest, in the FA Cup quarter-finals this Saturday.  Brighton aim to get back at the team that scored seven against them and Verbruggen on February 1. Verbruggen allowed all but two of the attempts that Forest directed on goal, resulting in the Seagulls facing their worst league defeat since the 9-0 loss to Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 1958/59 season in the second division.  Verbruggen is among the top young goalkeepers in Europe yet couldn't secure any titles during his three years at Anderlecht, which is regrettable giv...

Man City predicted to be ‘dissolved’ following FFP ‘private prosecutions’ with Haaland suggested for a move to Forest

By Damerex -

Man City could confront being 'liquidated' due to 'private prosecutions', while a potentially 'humorous' alternative 'resolution' might trigger Erling Haland to Nottingham Forest.  The true ‘greatest’ influence of Man City FFP…  Acknowledging all the warnings, I believe that everyone is missing the main issue if City is deemed guilty. You have listed five penalties, but the greatest effect will likely come from the private prosecutions, which I think have been retained by Man Utd, Liverpool, and Arsenal. United clearly have the greatest need for funds, thus the absence of prize money, sponsorship, and commercial opportunities is an issue they will be eager to tackle concerning titles and trophies. Liverpool and Arsenal will also be bold in pursuing compensation, and we then look at the European teams that have faced disadvantages.  I have made this argument previously, but this could be crucial for City as a club. The club cannot sustain this without the...

Arsenal supporters charged with ‘arrogant self-importance’ and far worse allegations

By Damerex -
Image
Are Arsenal supporters the most unbearable? That is the hypothesis. Liverpool sporting a ‘hollow crown’ has not been well-received.  Now regarding Real Madrid…  My forecast was that the sole way this Arsenal team could defeat Real Madrid across two matches was to secure victory in the first and remain solid in the second.  This is due to our inability to dismantle a team that parks the bus, which will happen at the Bernabeu if we drop the first leg. Especially not a second game at their location. I honestly can’t envision us pulling off a smash and grab like Thierry did previously.  I believe a draw in the first leg has a similar impact, as they'd be clever at home and wait for an opportunity to score.  Nevertheless, following tonight, the 'keeping it tight' aspect is in shambles with the London Colney treatment room bustling once more (does each squad member have their own table?). I was counting on Saliba and Gabriel to understand their French and Brazilian of...

Identify the sole two players in the Premier League with star quality

Did you believe that Bukayo Saka or the current Ballon d’Or winner possesses 'star quality'? As though it makes a difference regardless...  ‘Is the Premier League experiencing a shortage of superstars?’ is an opening line from Sam Wallace in the Daily Telegraph that stems entirely from the absurd situation of the international break concluding with an FA Cup weekend lacking any of England's most popular clubs.  You realize you are drifting into middle age when you begin to ponder where all the true superstars have disappeared to; wasn’t it more enjoyable when you could leave your door unlocked, men were men, women were something unspecified, and the Premier League overflowed with star talent? The issue? It never truly was.  In the latest Forbes ranking of the top-earning athletes in 2024, which generally aligns with the most renowned players globally, the Premier League features three individuals: Erling Haaland, Mo Salah, and Kevin De Bruyne.  In 2020, the Premier L...

Bukayo Saka makes a perfect comeback, but Arsenal's 24/25 season comes to a premature conclusion after another injury setback

By Damerex -

Bukayo Saka shone brightly with a goal in his comeback during the 2-1 victory against Fulham, yet Arsenal may soon see their season come to an abrupt halt following yet another significant setback...  In reality, Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title concluded prior to the international break.  The slim chance of something amusing occurring during what is poised to be a rather tedious conclusion hinged on Mikel Arteta’s team defeating Fulham on Tuesday night and Liverpool prolonging their ongoing two-match winless streak against Everton on Wednesday evening.  Arsenal delivered on their promise, though they didn't do so entirely convincingly…  Even with Saka's positive return to the bench following his hamstring injury, Arsenal's ongoing issues persisted, and one could easily believe – particularly during the first half – that the Fulham match felt like a meaningless fixture as a minor hurdle on the way to summer break.  As they have throughout mu...

Two Manchester United transfer choices revealed by merciless Nottingham Forest after baffling £90m decisions

By Damerex -
Image
Manchester United’s decision to sell Anthony Elanga for £15m while rating Alejandro Garnacho at £70m illustrates the kind of errors that define their transfer missteps.  Manchester United are terrible at signings. That is no surprise. Their terrible history of post-Ferguson acquisitions is painfully familiar. However, they are arguably inferior in every facet of player sales, and insufficient emphasis is placed on how that disastrous failure has been more persistently harmful than subpar recruitment to their prospects for a significant rebuild.  They have never earned over £100m in a single season from player sales (four Premier League teams achieved this in just one season). They are the sole Premier League club whose highest sale happened prior to 2011. They still consider David Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid in 2003 as their fourth-biggest sale ever, and two players ahead of him – Angel Di Maria and Romelu Lukaku – were sold at a loss compared to their initial signing fe...
