The sins of ten Hag and Guardiola.
Last summer, the clubs nuclear submarine They were afraid of the Manchester City trial. Many teams withheld their money. Even Chelsea didn’t sell out in the transfer market. But the summer, modest compared to British habits, was marked by football errors. As always, new players can change their transfer status over time. For example, Caicedo is the most expensive footballer in history. nuclear submarinewas first on similar lists, but is now one of Mareschi’s best players at Chelsea. The coach did his best. But the guys below have disappointed so far.
Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United)
Tomorrow, the Red Devils will host Newcastle at home. He is not an easy opponent, but for Amorim, all opponents are difficult now. The reason for this is the form of his team and the actions of his talented newcomers. At 23, Zirkzee failed to surprise England with his freshness. From a person, the position of “eight and a half” required too obvious work in the role of “nine”. Manchester United Savings targets are necessary, and Zirkzee, even in Motta’s Bologna, has not been extremely productive. It’s a shame for the guy, he’s not joining Manchester United. May leave the team. Unsuccessful signing of Ten Hag for 42.5 million euros. But Zirkzee was terribly prepared. His absurd actions have long irritated fans Manchester United and club legends.
Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City)
There was a period of the season where Gundogan was on the successful trade list. And then came the serious crisis of Manchester City. Ilkay was unlucky to lose Rhodri. If the Spaniard had helped Guardiola’s team captain, who returned from Barcelona, then different results could have been achieved. And also other impressions of the German veteran’s game. But now the bearded Turk from Gelsenkirchen finds himself in the middle of disappointments. Additionally, Tactics Assessment works against Gundogan, although he is an excellent master of terrain movement. Flick probably saw the midfielder’s bad attitude at Barcelona. Gundogan is tired because he became a father last year and will be again? Ilkay took a break from big football.
Joao Felix (Chelsea)
We give Agent Mendes credit. A Portuguese can sell sand in the desert. Chelsea co-owner Boeli made a crazy deal. They took Felix for 52 million euros. Atlético have made the sign of the cross after a successful deal and signed world champion Julián Alvarez. And Felix became a burden for Maresca. Chelsea has a lot of strange characters. Like Sancho, he is on loan from Manchester United. Or Mudrik, who will be kicked out of football because of an injection of cow stem cells into his knee. Maybe the vet gave the cow a medicine banned in football. Felix is still there, but he is of little use. One of the best Portuguese players is absorbed in a luxurious life. Talent wasted.
Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United)
Strange defender. De Ligt makes mistakes too obvious to stay ten years at Juventus and Bayern. I arrived at Manchester United. They paid 45 million euros for the Dutchman. If Matthijs’ most expensive partner, young Frenchman Yoro, has missed matches due to injury and can still play for Amorim, the Portuguese are unlikely to have much faith in de Ligt. Let’s see what the Dutchman will show in more favorable conditions of development. But in Manchester United’s crisis, de Ligt is no longer the leader he was in his youth at Ajax. It’s a shame that such a brilliant talent – a born defender, slipped away after a series of attempts to play for big clubs. One more mistake and he will be removed.
Savigno (Manchester City)
Girona has created ideal conditions for the development of players of different styles. Savigno is still young and talented, these are his strengths. Guardiola releases the Brazilian into the starting XI. He will probably expect more notable actions from the winger. In a formation with De Bruyne and Haaland, even an average player will create goals. But if Savigno, who is only twenty years old, has not adapted nuclear submarine. Manchester City have struck a clever deal with Troyes. They took a talent worth 50 million at the time of transfer for half the price. But the trick didn’t work. At the city’s sister club Girona, the winger has been excellent. But he has not yet liked the English championship. Like Doku, Savigno is one of the disappointments of the English champions.
Mikel Merinos (Arsenal)
New European champion. This summer, Merino scored against Germany on his way to the final against England. Arteta wanted to sign his namesake. They convinced me to leave Real Sociedad. Let Mikel have experience playing nuclear submarinehaving played for Newcastle in the past, the veteran midfielder’s performance did not impress his Arsenal teammates and the Gunners’ rivals at all. Although Merino formally has all the qualities to work well in the London club’s midfield, he did not complement Rice and Odegaard. Mikel was able to find a place in different roles, as Martin was absent due to injury and Havertz was needed in attack. As a result, Merino played fewer minutes in the nuclear submarinethan another newcomer, Italian Calafiori, who was eliminated from the starting lineup due to injury.
Federico Chiesa (Liverpool)
The new Juventus coach Motta categorically refused to work with Chiesa. It is not clear why Federico did not like his mentor, but the versatile footballer moved to Liverpool. So far, nothing has worked out. Chiesa ended up in the team after a change of coach, which meant that Slot had no favorites in the lineup. The Italian is quite experienced – a European champion, but has not played in England. Federico spent 18 minutes nuclear submarine before Christmas and came into play for a few minutes in the Champions League. Chiesa was injured, but it wasn’t just muscle issues. Currently, an inexpensive transfer of a famous player – worth 12 million euros – ended up on the list of the most unsuccessful and strange transactions. Chiesa could return to Italy in winter.
Raheem Sterling (Arsenal)
Last summer was not the most successful for transfers to nuclear submarine. Striker Nketiah is not working with his money at Crystal Palace. Ugarte did not become the main supporter Manchester United. Turkish full-back Kadioglu did not get a foothold in Brighton after the brilliant Euro 2024. We do not know what he was counting on, since the Seagulls retained Estupiñan. The British pound is also on the list of failed trades. There appears to be conflict at Arsenal between owners, Arteta and Edu. The sporting director left the club at the beginning of November mid-season. Perhaps the reason was the summer offers. Then Sterling’s last name definitely came up during the feud. Rahim has not played and was recently injured. It’s bad, because Saka flew away before spring, Arsenal need wide strikers.
