⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Yes, if Barcelona fired Koeman, of course Barcelona would have to pay a large compensation to Koeman, of course I also realized that , Barcelona now really have to save on their expenses this season, apart from the financial crisis they are facing, of course there are many debts that are currently in arrears be a big problem for Barcelona now.
In my opinion, Koeman opportunity to improve Barcelona is to bring in some new players in the January transfer market and signing Van Beek might be an alternative for Koeman to improve their squad which is too weak this season.

Barcelona now has two options. The first is to give Koeman time, he will experiment more with the team. Try to stabilize the team. And the second is that Barcelona can bring a few more new players to the team. Which will make the team stronger but requires money for the second. Barcelona does not have enough money. And they would be wasting a lot of money if they wanted to fire Koeman. So Barcelona will not think of expelling Koeman now.

Barcelona are in bad place because their finances are 1 of the worst in the La Liga. They signed Koeman who has never been a great manager and now he is losing them games. The lower they finish in the league and the sooner they go out in the Champions league means they get less money. They will have to pay compensation to Koeman if they fire him before his contract is up but if they are going to lose money by finishing lower in the league and champions league it is probably worth firing him and getting a better manager to manage the team. I think Conte at Barcelona if they can afford him would be the best option for them.

Haaland decision in December over the holidays Christmas? Until then, a few more offers should be received, or optimized. His consultant makes the best deals in soccer. It is only about the best offer and special payments / one-time payments for consultants and player. It will be set high and the best part is, haaland will definitely want a big one time payment… who does not want that? Maybe for Christmas a big deal…

I have heard that Real Madrid's number one target now is Chelsea's 28-year-old defense player Antonio Rudiger. As we all know already, Real Madrid have a weakness in their defense and they have sold Raphael Varane also. They need to reinforce their defense line to be better at defending. They are very good at offense and scoring. But they must be much better at defense too. Otherwise, they can continue to have a tough time against some of their opponents.

News speculating about a possible move for the former Barcelona legend and midfielder Xavi Hernandez, I don't know how true this is,but I believe a sack will be soon.
Xavi asking for the signature of Paul Pogba,once he get the Barcelona Job at hand.

I think he needs to wait to be appointed as head coach before he can ask for a player to come. Laporte currently has faith in Kooman but i would have sacked him a long time ago. Kooman just isnt Barcelona material and is destroying them with every game currently.

The material of good players in a team without an architect who makes accurate strategies will not make the team sharp.
Newcastle has been very bad in the league this season. they need a big revolution in the team. and the first is the architect to formulate the right team composition.
at least they have to prove it in the middle of this season and continue the rest of the season better.

Since Newcastle are a weak team. Newcastle are one of the weakest teams in the Premier League. Now they are the richest club in the League. If they want to rule the Premier League, they have to change the whole team. New, star, and skilled players need to be brought into the team. Since Newcastle is not a renowned team, not all-star players would be interested in coming here. So now they have to spend a lot of money if they want to rule the Premier League.

Antonio Conte has been one of the candidates to be Newcastle's new manager. But it seems like he will be rejecting the offer. There are still candidates like Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. These managers both are legends of the Premier League. Newcastle would really like to sign one of them in this case. Lampard couldn't do well when he was Chelsea's manager but this time maybe he can fit Newcastle, who knows.

Here are the odds for Newcastle United next manager after the oiler take over:  https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/newcastle/next-permanent-manager

From those names I like the favorite, Conte.  Eddie Howe, but I don’t think they’ll go for a young manager still trying to make a name for himself.  They’ll want an established manager with the experience and the clout.  Graham Potter is also ok but no name like Howe.  I really like Zidane and I hope that happens if not Conte.  And Roberto Mancini, he built Man City into a power house after an oiler take over of its own.  I can’t see why he couldn’t do the same at NUFC.

actually I'm still surprised by this maneuver about newcastle, they seem to be making a major overhaul in terms of coaches and players.
apart from that I think they both will find it difficult to move to this team, especially when they were players, they were one of the loyal players between lampard at chelsea and gerrard at liverpool, would be a mockery of the fans when they played there.
but on the other hand newcastle is now rich, as long as there is money everything can be obtained. it's the same as city and PSG when it was bought by billionaires everything can be bought and there's no way even Newcastle will be like this

It's impossible and Barcelona will still keep Koeman in order to save money and like it or not, Koeman must be able to prove it with a strategy that emphasizes Barcelona to be better, even though Koeman is also a Barcelona legend so of course he knows how to apply strategy in this era recently.
But by bringing in several players what about the arrears that have not been paid off? will this be a violation of regulations again or did they bring in players in the transfer season? What is clear is that this requires consistency from a manager who provides his tactics.

Who knows, maybe the players will be inspired by Lampard's personality and will train hard to achieve results. Maybe Newcastle will make a couple of top transfers, the club owner can afford it, his fortune is over 100 billion dollars, and his family fortune is over a trillion, so he will not be poor if he spends 200 million on transfers)

Strong players will not go to Newcastle even if they are offered a lot of money. It takes a couple of seasons and a good game to gain a foothold among at least the first 5-6 teams in order to motivate strong players to move to the team. This may take several years.

I second that, the overhaul of the team will definitely take time, and all those expecting big players to start flooding to Newcastle will have to wait awhile before that becomes a possibility, just like with Manchester City, it took quite a few seasons before they could put together a formidable and winning team, there was a lot of wrong buys, they wasted so much money on many players, but it was all just for a better future and now they can attract the best players to their team.

That would prolly be the case with Newcastle and I do hope they can be successful sometime in the coming years, but their fans will have to wait as that success wouldn't definitely not come overnight, for now Newcastle would gradually start buying quality players, then after awhile they can they start attracting top quality/world class, but definitely something big is going to happen in Newcastle in years to come.

being a legend and having shined in barcelona doesn't mean you can train well too
and I would agree more when Koeman is replaced with a coach who fits the barcelona game because I think Koeman's strategy is very inversely proportional to the barcelona characteristic (tiki taka).
but the problem of compensation that must be paid when releasing Koeman I think will greatly disturb the current management of the club.
Even though there are lots of fans who support and make petitions about Koeman's dismissal, the club management still believes in him under the pretext of believing in the process.

Of course Newcastle need a lot of time to prepare their team thoroughly as a respected team in the Premier League after the acquisition to the new owners. Is Newcastle interested in Zidane? There has to be a process and timing that will get them into the top 4 of the table, but not sure if they will do that this season without signing a new coach. Newcastle need new players, but they also need new coach.

[bitgolden]

I'm not sure if Newcastle will quickly become a strong team (I mean, strong enough to qualify for titles), in my memory the only rapid progress after receiving huge investments happened with Chelsea, but it coincided so that they were coached by the genius Mourinho and he has everything it worked. At best, we'll see something like City - years of hard work before big titles are won.

They do not need to be contenders this season, everyone knows that you need to have a good off-season getting players before you can fight for something and yes they will have a ton of money for the midseason transfers but I am sure they will get some players who will be obviously good and not good like they would be part of a plan just yet.

I believe they need a manager first then they need to do "alright" until end of the season and the real test will come next season. They will get so many new players during the next summer transfer window that it will look like they are doing something criminal (which they sort of did to get that much money) based on how many awesome players they can afford. They can easily afford PSG levels of players, the new owners have 10x more money than what PSG owner has, think of all the difference that could make.

When it comes to Haaland's next club, it might be Real Madrid. Because I have heard that Real Madrid are planning to sign Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland both at the same time. As they won't be playing any transfer fee for Mbappe, they are going to be able to buy Haaland also financially. But it shouldn't be against the financial rules of the league too. If Real Madrid don't sign him, maybe we can see him in the English Premier League too.

You heard?
Would you please mind sharing a link of any credible source of information you got this from?

I am a fan of Real Madrid, but one player I am sure they could sign is Mbappé.I haven't seen them bid for Haaland.

As they won't be playing any transfer fee for Mbappe, they are going to be able to buy Haaland also financially. But it shouldn't be against the financial rules of the league too. If Real Madrid don't sign him, maybe we can see him in the English Premier League too.

They are capable of signing Haaland to next summer transfer  if they wanted, but I haven't seen any news about a bid for Haaland like it has been for Mbappé.

It may not be this year but when Newcastle United start playing in Champions League almost all players want to play there. Imagine having unlimited amount of money to spend, you can rebuild Los Galacticos with that. I don't think many players would reject to play for that kind of project team. You can hire world class manager and become Top 4 teams in 3-4 years. It won't happen overnight but remember Arabs bought that club, not rent it. I'm sure they have a good vision for long term success.

It is clear that this season will be completely preparatory for the team, at the moment the top players have already found good places for themselves and will stay there until the end of the season. The difficulty lies elsewhere - in order to recruit superstars, Newcastle must secure a spot in European competition (ideally in the Champions League), as for star players, participation in the top tournament is of the utmost importance. How Newcastle can achieve this this season is unclear.
