The best possible Juventus starting lineup following Randal Kolo Muani loan transfer

Although Tottenham, Manchester United, and other big clubs were very much involved in the Randal Kolo Muani transfer sweepstakes, the French striker ultimately preferred to join Juventus above the others. Juventus are candidates to win the Serie A title again this year, and while they are currently outside the top four, they remain undefeated after drawing second-placed Atalanta 1-1 on Tuesday night. Kolo Muani was likely attracted to Juventus because of the fact that they are currently in the Champions League, are in a position to reach the Champions League again next season, have a rich history, play in a league that is friendly to attackers, and have a talented striker he can work with in Dusan Vlahovic. Right now, Kolo Muani's deal is only a loan move for six months, but the b...

Manchester City may have already made the best signing of the January 2025 transfer window

Manchester City are being aggressive in the January 2025 transfer window out of necessity, as their collapse since the injury to Ballon d'Or winner Rodri has been so catastrophic that not even their biggest haters could have predicted such an abrupt demise from a team that was the most dominant in their league over the last five years - even above Bayern Munich in Germany. Pep Guardiola has stood shocked at the state of his squad, as a poor summer transfer window in which Manchester City made an aging and rapidly declining midfield even more inadequate with the addition of Ilkay Gundogan has come back around to bite them badly. There are issues all over the squad. Manchester City don't have a supplemental goal-scorer alongside Erling Haaland, their midfield is too old, and their defe...

The best move for Aston Villa to make in the January 2025 transfer window

Aston Villa were one of the most active teams in the January 2025 transfer window, but the upgrades in midfield haven't helped the Villains move up in the Premier League table. After 20 mtatches, Villa are only 8th in the league, and while their game in hand could push them up as high as sixth, the club have failed to make progress after their surprise Champions League qualification last season. Already, Aston Villa have brought in Donyell Malen to provide them a key option on the right wing, but they are still in the pursuit of more upgrades across their squad, including at right back. But the best move for Aston Villa in the winter transfer window will actually be at center back, and it involves a dual move that can bring a legitimately world-class center back to their roster, w...

Liverpool reject massive transfer offer for star forward

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been actively linked with a move outside of Anfield for over a year now, as frustration with his poor finishing and lack of progress since his megadeal worth over 80 million pounds. Although Nunez is a great athlete who creates havoc and a sense of danger in the attack, he is a poor finisher and has not shown that he is at the level of a starting striker for a team competing for the Premier League title. If anything, the No. 9 position has been the only weak link in a Liverpool squad that has been carried by Mohamed Salah and now Cody Gakpo from a goal-scoring perspective, with even winger Luis Diaz offering a bigger goal threat than Nunez. But Nunez is still young and talented, so there is hope that he can latch on somewhere else. Lately, the Sa...

West Ham find another striker transfer target that is exactly what they don’t need

West Ham are busy looking at possible options at the striker position in the January 2025 transfer window after losing Niclas Fullkrug for three months with an injury against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. So far, most of the options are flawed, as the dream targets, like Jhon Duran, are undeniably impossible reaches for the Hammers budget or simply not available at all. West Ham probably want to sign someone who is proven, has some future upside, costs under 50 million pounds, and doesn't come with an extensive injury history; they already have enough of those. According to a report from Claret and Hugh, West Ham's data analyst has been recommending names to the club for possible January 2025 signings, and one well-known player he brought up is RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva. In 2...

Liverpool considering ill-advised swap deal to acquire a potential Mohamed Salah replacement

Liverpool superstar right winger Mohamed Salah still remains without a new contract and could leave the Reds for free this year, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League circling the waters. Salah has been the best player in the world during the 2024/25 season, firing important goal after important goal and shining as brightly as ever as a playmaker for a Liverpool side that is first in both the Premier League and Champions League. Despite the fact that Salah is at the top of his game and expected to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future, Liverpool are doing their due diligence when it comes to identifying potential long-term replacements for the Egyptian icon. One of those players is Bournemouth breakout star Antoine Semenyo, who is capable of playing anywhere in the front thr...

Aston Villa want to rescue one of the best players in LaLiga

Aston Villa are always going to be linked to talented players in LaLiga because of the connections Unai Emery has to the league, as he won the Europa League as a coach for both Sevilla and Villarreal. The Villains have found major success with a signing from LaLiga, too, as Emery brought over star center back Pau Torres from Villarreal, and he has proven to be an asset and one of the top center backs in the Premier League, too. For the most part, Villa's LaLiga transfer targets in 2025 have focused on the right back position, with a possible reunion between Emery and Villarreal right back Juan Foyth on the cards. Now, Diario AS are linking Aston Villa to their biggest transfer target in LaLiga yet, as the Premier League top-four contenders are reportedly interested in signing Brai...

Brighton in the lead to sign talented Liverpool forward this January

Brighton sit in 10th place in an increasingly competitive top half of the table in the Premier League, but because the margins are now so thin at the top, the Seagulls find themselves a mere five points back of Bournemouth in seventh for a Conference League place. After reaching the Europa League in the 2022/23 season under Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton are determined to get back into European football under Fabian Hurzeler, who could prove to be their best long-term manager yet. After signing promising talents like Georginio Rutter and Brajan Gruda to bolster their attack this past summer, Brighton are still in the market for some more buy-low young players with massive upside. Their focus has turned to Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott, who has fallen out of favor at Anfield and coul...

West Ham have mutual interest in a very talented striker with even bigger red flags

West Ham are quite obviously in the market for a new striker signing in the January 2025 transfer window after losing summer 2024 addition Niclas Fullkrug for three more months to injury after he went down almost immediately upon his return in the FA Cup vs. Aston Villa. There are slim pickings on the winter market at striker, as teams understandably don't want to part ways with proven goal-scorers or up-and-coming stars who are key to title races and battles for European places in the second half of the season. According to a report from French outlet L'Equipe, West Ham are now zeroing in on Marseille striker Elye Wahi, and they are ready to make a deal with the Ligue 1 giants for a loan deal with an obligation to buy for a reasonable 25 million euros. And L'Equipe add that Wahi ...

Monchi is aiming to bring a secret superstar to Aston Villa for under €30M

Aston Villa are one of the best teams in European football at proactively utilizing the transfer market to enhance their squad weaknesses and bring on players who can be a part of their club's identity for years, such as Pau Torres. After qualifying for the Champions League last season to cement their rise under the former great Sevilla duo of Unai Emery and Monchi, Aston Villa have found themselves in a bit of a predicament this season in a more competitive Premier League. In order to secure another top-four finish, Aston Villa are going to have to make some major signings this winter, and while they are on the precipice of acquiring players to fill their biggest team needs at right back and right winger, they could use additional difference-makers elsewhere. Aston Villa may be h...
