⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rahmad2nd]

Following Karim Benzema's masterclass performance against Manchester City, Ballon d'Or talks begin. There is no one more deserving of the Ballon d'Or than Karim Benzema. It's not just because he scores goals, but because he is the perfect player who leads his team to victory. No player comes close to Benzema's achievement in this individual award. Since the World Cup is still a judge's role, he's a strong contender.

No doubt with Karim Benzema for Ballon d'Or with fantastic performance last night and all match with Real Madrid keep consistent scoring goals, but always depending with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo what ever bad performance and failed totally on champion league always both player dominance on Ballon d'Or candidate player. I think most terrible on FIFA and UEFA if still give Ballon d'Or for Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo with bad achievement in this year.

I thought that PSG were going to sign a deal with Zinedine Zidane for next season. But Conte is a strong candidate to be brought to the job as it seems. But I wonder what Conte is thinking about these rumours. He has done a good job with Tottenham so far. But if they don't qualify for the Champions League, then maybe he would also think of leaving Tottenham to join PSG seriously. PSG would do much better with a solid management of course. However I think that the main problem of the team this season might not be only related to their manager.

I believe it is more about who they can convince. I mean if its Zidane they want, which would be awesome, then they need to convince Zidane. It is fairly known that Managers do not earn as much as players, but this is a guy who managed for a quick few seasons and got 3 UCL in a row which should be proof enough that he is a magnificent manager.

If PSG offers something silly, something unreal and totally overpaid, like for example 50 million a year, then Zidane would be crazy to turn that down and wouldn't even doubt the decision and just take the job. In that case, they should just hope for the best for the next few seasons that they can build a roster, and Mbappe doesn't leave or even if he does, they get someone else.

Zidane is smart, the PSG job spells trouble imo and Zidane won't be ready to dent his managerial career with a possible failure. I think the team is great and he would get the maximum support and backing from the club as long he is able to deliver the champion's league trophy for them. Conte is a possible option but I think he won't do any better, he has no success in the UEFA Champion's League and he is that type of manager that seems to have fall out with big players in club.

Arsenal do have to bring in new players at the end of this season, especially the position of strikers should be Arsenal's top priority. Actually, earlier
this year Arsenal had tried to bring in Vlahovic to replace Aubameyang who moved to Barcelona. But because Arsenal's reputation is still inferior
to Juventus, Vlahovic prefers Juventus to Arsenal. But if Arsenal this season can be in 4th position and next season can play in the Champions League,
it will make it easier for Arsenal to recruit good players.

Actually, many players have been linked with Arsenal, therefore I am also optimistic that Arsenal will buy quite a few new players at the end of
this season. In addition to strengthening the Arsenal squad, bring in new players as well to replace several players who are likely to leave Arsenal
at the end of this season. So there will be big moves from Arsenal in the transfer market this summer. And I believe in Arteta's choice, because
so far Arteta has brought in the right players for Arsenal. So whoever new players will be brought in by Arteta, I believe these players will have
a big effect on Arsenal's performance next season.

First of all, Arsenal needs better attackers. Otherwise, I don't think they will be able to win matches at the top level. And that will also solve the problem of them lacking behind top teams in the English Premier League.

Like I said Arsenal will most likely bring in one or two players that would help to raise collective standards. I am not sure there’ll be a massive investment on transfers in the next window but plans are being drawn up to get important additions on board. Now Mikel Arteta is now in the process of guiding that squad towards a potential top-four finish, and Champions League qualification would make it easier for them to chase down the top targets that are currently being identified. Here’s the thing, Arsenal are now working with a competitive squad, there’s a few leaks in the squad, a striker, and another midfielder. I think that’s where they are to focus more on. Because bringing in first team starters and putting them on the bench because the team already have their winning team is pointless. So they should invest on the leaks more.

By the looks of things it actually seems like Arsenal is going to make big transfers in the next transfer market. But, yes it can be just because they are trying to find out which one or two players are going to be the best for the team at the moment and save the rest of the money for now.

It must be sad for Manchester United to hear that Pogba is leaving this summer. PSG and Real Madrid are the most seriously interested teams to sign him now. As Manchester United have had a really problematic season so far and they are most likely out of the Champions League for next season too, I think it is one of the reasons why Pogba wants to leave. And they are going to lose him on a free transfer which is even worse. His market value is still 55m euros so they would have made a good profit at least.

Paul Pogba has not lived to the expectations Manchester United had in bringing him from Juventus back to Manchester United for that world breaking fee then but I think when it gets to Pogba the rumors are on the high. Today, we would hear Pogba said he want to leave United, at noon another rumor will have it that Pogba is heading for Juventus, before day dark we hear PSG or Barcelona are keen on signing him. I honestly can't wait for the summer to come so all these rumors will be laid to rest.

It's not just because he scores goals, but because he is the perfect player who leads his team to victory. No player comes close to Benzema's achievement in this individual award. Since the World Cup is still a judge's role, he's a strong contender.

I think it is still a little bit too early to pick who is going to win the Ballon d'or next year, Benzema has been in majestic form, and if he continues this way, wins a couple of trophies, performs exceptionally in the World Cup, then he would be a strong contender for the award, for now he and his team have prolly only secured the Laliga title, they could be knocked out of the CL by Manchester City and that could bring a whole new perspective to the discussion.

But having said that, Benzema has been superb, with the amount of goals he has scored and how well he has carried this Madrid team, he really deserves an awful amount of credit, i would hope he continues like this all the way to the end of the year, he deserves to win a Ballon d'or award at least once before he draws the curtain on an illustrious career.

I think Benzema has shown fabulous form this season and even though it does feel like a little too early to talk about who is going to win the Ballon d'Or next year, I think Benzema is surely going to be in talks for it. The way he is performing right now seems to be like he is in his prime and the truth is he is 34 years old. And I really don't care how old he becomes. If he keeps performing like this he can play for Real Madrid even if he is 50.

Marcus Rashford faced bad situation with Manchester United in this season trough less minutes played, but he have on listed name for player selling and arrived Ten Hag not guarantee with his position on Manchester United. I think better moving to other team give minutes guarantee playing actually few months later have World Cup event, without got chance play with club will difficult for him because England player will join on FIFA World Cup 2022. I believe Marcus Rashford is potential player but difficult for him how to get more minutes playing trough Ralf Ragnick manager.

Yeah World Cup is around the corner and with England having pool of players Rashford has to show something to Southgate to make him pick for the England squad and that obviously need chances which he is not getting at United... Nice point @rahmad2nd . There were reports of Barca interested in the player not sure how it is true but they do definitely need a striker desparately. Aubameyang is good on wing and not on strike so they still need someone leading the attack and Rashford should be a good one.

But, I heard that Barcelona is looking for Robert de Lewandowski to bring in as the main striker. I don't know what is the current situation of that but if they could bring him in I think he would have been better.
The money that Barcelona needed to spend to bring him into the squad was a little higher in my opinion. I think, at this moment Barcelona need to spend their money very wisely.

I'm surprised Barcelona will be going after Lewandowski when they have the likes of Aubameyang. I'm not comparing the experience Lewandowski has with that of the young, vibrant Aubameyang but I think Barcelona do not need Lewandowski at this time.

Karim Benzema deserves to be in the domination of the Ballon d'Or award but the competition is not over. In my opinion, Karim Benzema can get the Ballon d'Or if he is able to bring Real Madrid to the Champions League title.
For La Liga, Karim Benzema has helped Real Madrid to win the title because they only need 1 more point.
We'll see if Karim Benzema is capable or the Ballon d'Or award this time will be the same as yesterday between Lewandowski and Lionel Messi.

I honestly can't wait for the summer to come so all these rumors will be laid to rest.

To be very fair with Pogba, he should not be blamed for not living up to the expectations of Manchester United. To start with, who has lived upto the expectation of Manchester United in Manchester United?
Martial: was a very brilliant, energetic and skillful teenager when he came to Manchester United. Can you remember he was a golden boy? What finally was the outcome of Martial.
Memphis Deepay: Do you know that the expectations was that Memphis could replace Ronaldo in the Manchester United team. We all know what Deepay was before he came to Manchester United. Did he live upto the expectations?
Alexis Sanchez: was a monster and the talisman of Arsenal. He landed in Manchester United with the expectations of consolidating Ronaldo's legacies in Manchester United. With fat weekly wages and all, where is Alexis today? Did he live upto his expectations.
How about Coaches: Moyes, Mourinho, Ole etc, did they live upto the expectations.

Manchester united should summon Alex Ferguson and discuss the way forward, since he left Manchester United, it has never been the same.

I'm surprised Barcelona will be going after Lewandowski when they have the likes of Aubameyang. I'm not comparing the experience Lewandowski has with that of the young, vibrant Aubameyang but I think Barcelona do not need Lewandowski at this time.

Lewandowski who has just succeeded in bringing Bayern Munich as the champion of the Bundesliga this season, is indeed a target for Barcelona to be brought in next season, Lewandowski future is not clear in Munich of course causing a lot of speculation about his move in the transfer market later, even though he is no longer young but there are still many clubs who want to sign him including barcelona, ​​I think even though now Xavi already has aubameyang and ferran torres but the arrival of lewandowski will probably make the barcelona front line even more dangerous next season, apart from that as a club of course barcelona must have a second striker who does not lose dangerous from their main striker and if Lewandowski arrival is realized, I think Lewandowski will be Barcelona  main striker and Aubameyang will  plotted as a second striker to back up Lewandowski if injured or absent.

[Iranus]

Pochettino has been officially sacked from the coaching chair by PSG, but the problem is that until now there has been no definite decision on who will replace Pochettino at PSG, a number of big names have been pocketed by PSG to manage PSG next season, their main target is the league champion, Zidane's name is indeed at the top to fill the vacancy of coaches, because Zidane has not coached any club now after leaving Real Madrid, there is also the name Ancelotti, but I don't think Ancelotti will ever want to coach PSG, because Ancelotti is enjoying the beauty of being with Real Madrid. Madrid, Antonio Conte could coach PSG next season, because Conte is also not happy with Tottenham, because the club doesn't want to bring in players like Conte wants, reports circulated that Conte has contacted the PSG club to say he is interested in coaching PSG next season, he also said he was very happy to be able to coach PSG next season.

I actually think it is a good decision to get Pochettino sacked, he clearly can't get the job done. It is quite unfortunate that players can’t be sacked easily cause Marquinhos and Kimpembe should have followed him for bottling the UEFA Champion's League this season and some home games in the ligue1 this season. I think the right fit for the job will be the likes of Ancelotti and Guardiola not Conte, Conte won't be able to handle the egos in that team for long.

I think it is good for PSG but the problem is they need to find a substitute for him really quick otherwise there will be bigger problems for them. I really think PSG needs a manager who can be really dominating otherwise things are not going to work out well for them.  I expect someone who can manage the team with authority, who generally knows what he is doing, and has good experience in managing a squad with great players.

Personally, I think Barcelona's move to bring in Lewandowski is a very good move, even though Lewandowski is not young anymore, but Lewandowski has extraordinary experience, and can increase his attacking power on the front lines, even though he is paired with Abumayeng I'm sure Lewandowski is able to play consistently I will see how Lewandowski plays for Barcelona next season.

It would be a smart move for Barcelona if they really aim to bring Lewandowski to the team this summer. Lewandowski is very likely to leave the team soon as it seems. He is still showing an insane performance and he would strengthen the Barcelona lineup very much. Aubameyang has contributed to the team very well since he joined them. But it would be much better for Barcelona to sign a top striker like Lewandowski to be much more effective in scoring goals. They would like to play bigger next season in the end.

[Zackgeno96]

Now that Erik Ten hag is the new coach of Manchester United, it seems that he really wants Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. Many people underestimate the power of this player. Erik Ten Hag has worked extremely successfully with Frenkie De Jong at Ajax, if possible United will buy him from Barcelona. I just think that a sky-high amount will have to be paid, probably somewhere around 110 million. Whether he is worth it I do not judge, but United will improve a lot. And Rashford would then go to Barcelona in an exchange.

Because bringing in first team starters and putting them on the bench because the team already have their winning team is pointless. So they should invest on the leaks more.

Arsenal are playing very well, of course, sometimes they play badly and start to lose points, but I think Arsenal need to define an objective like:

in the next season what do they want?

do you just want to be in 4th position or do you want to be champions?

if they have ambition, they can start signing players with that goal of being premier league champions in mind.

It would be a smart move for Barcelona if they really aim to bring Lewandowski to the team this summer. Lewandowski is very likely to leave the team soon as it seems. He is still showing an insane performance and he would strengthen the Barcelona lineup very much. Aubameyang has contributed to the team very well since he joined them. But it would be much better for Barcelona to sign a top striker like Lewandowski to be much more effective in scoring goals. They would like to play bigger next season in the end.

if barcelona manages to hire Lewandowski, they will be able to solve all the problem of lack of goals, because currently the biggest problems of barcelona are in attack and a little in defense, but in defense they can solve with time, in attack they need to solve it urgently if they want to dream of being la league champions next season. and if barcelona have more ambition something like they want to win the league of fields then they would need to sign more players besides Lewandowski. one thing i heard on tv was that barcelona are not going to spend a lot of money on hiring expensive players to avoid being bankrupt, i wonder how they will manage the funds and have good players?

After a great start, it seemed certain that Aston Villa will make Coutinho's loan permanent in a 40 million euros transfer. However, his performances have dropped by a lot in the last 2 months and considering the big fee and a huge salary that Aston Villa would have to pay, it now seems like the deal might be off.

Aston Villa needs a creative player though - and since there is no real interest in Coutinho it might also be their strategy to drop down the price.

One of the worst transfers in Barcelona's history for sure - no matter the outcome here.

I think a player of Coutinho quality should have never played for a team like Aston Villa at this stage of his career if he never ran out of luck at Barcelona. He seems to be playing well when loaned out, he was decent at Bayern Munich and now at Aston Villa. Maybe Aston  Villa should grab the opportunity of signing him permanently as they are still seeking to have a creative player. Newcastle United have been showing interest in the player too, it's best for Aston Villa if they can act fast.

I agree with you, countinho should have thought clearly when he made the decision to join aston villa when arsenal also offered to borrow him in the transfer window yesterday, his desire to move to aston villa obviously surprised everyone, because countinho is actually a pretty good player and can be the team's attack motor when playing, but I think now he has regretted moving to Aston Villa because no matter how good he plays, of course he can't help the team to win without being supported by other quality players.

English players are always scared of making a move to Spanish league's, the only olaywr I can relate with that made a possible move was Beckham David.
Rashford will go nowhere next season, as he will become a man utd legend. If the new coach arrives he shouldn't do with what the class of 1992 Set, if they feel they can do better why don't they go get the job, at least Xavi is doing so at Barcelona. He so should b in charge of who comes and who stays.
De Jong to Manchester I don't know how true but let's be a little patient.

If the Ballon d'Or were to be awarded now, Benzema would certainly get it even if there were such great competitors as Lewandowski and Mbappe. But in fact, the World Championship will be decisive. During it, if someone performs very brightly, then everyone will forget the current performance and that player will be the favorite who will successfully perform at the World Cup.

Manchester united should summon Alex Ferguson and discuss the way forward, since he left Manchester United, it has never been the same.

I think even Sir Alex Ferguson cannot solve Manchester United problems. When big SAF was boss; and today, Manchester United has always had a recruitment problem. The poor recruitment was overshadowed by David Gill and SAF fearless signings (atleast one turns out great). Manchester united replaced Keane with Carrick, replaced Tevez with chicarito, replaced CR7 by signing Valencia, Young and agey Michael Owen.

The same has happened under Mourinho, Van Gaal and Ole, with poor recruitments policy, no team can develop. This is why Ole is appreciated for his committment to taking MUFC to the top; Ole revamped the academy protocols and improved the structure of Manchester United which the team now benefits from. With Ralf, Arnold, and Fletcher; the team will only get better

The future is bright

I think most terrible on FIFA and UEFA if still give Ballon d'Or for Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo with bad achievement in this year.

Karim Benzema is literally the best player in the world this season. I think he is a strong contender for the Ballon D'or, I don't think any player in the world come close to him at moment but like I always like to point out this is a world cup year and the performance of players in the competition will be rated over other competitions. Unless there are no exceptional or brilliant display of other players in the world cup then there's no way Benzema won't get the Ballon D'or.
