⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[gabbie2010]

premier league promoted nottingham forest has signed another left-back. from spanish club atletico madrid comes the brazilian Renan Lodi, who was recently still criticized by coach Diego Simeone. the 15-time international has some international experience and is on loan for one year.

Good one from Nottingham Forest the club has an option and backup in all the areas of the team, injury to their first team left-back a perfect replacement in Renan Lodi is already available and each of the position will be very competitive, thus no room for any complacency by any of the players, Steve Cooper their manager doesn't want to have any excuses afterall the club board had provided all the needed funds to buy or get players on loan, the club having worked hard to gain promotion to the elite league  wouldn't want to get relegated in their first season are now in 14th position on the table.

Lol that is the truth , manchester united are trying to bring back the glory days where they managed by the greatest sir alex ferguson with that kind transfer policy ... splashing money every year to get the best player available on the market to get in but most of the times failed.

Haaland for instance , they failed to land him and looking for alternatives ... so they bought random players with millions dollar in the proccess.

They don't have any choice, all leagues already started and if they're looking to sign an active player, they will need to spend a lot money. So it's make sense why Manchester United want to spend 85+ Million Euros. I'd say even though Antony isn't a top scorers or assists, but if you watch him, you will see his performance is really good since he's performance is stable.

Looking from the strikers position, it's true Manchester United is lack of Right Winger. Rashford will play on Center Forward, Sancho will play on Left Winger, Ronaldo would be a substitute player.

a very high price to be paid by United. but it is their big ambition to make the team perform better. hopefully, Tan Hag's choice is not wrong by bringing the Ajax striker at a high price.

but there is still news that Tan Hag is still hunting for several other players to complete his squad before the transfer window closes. United seems to make a massive purchase at the end of this transfer window.

[cryptofrka]

After selling Antony to United, Ajax are looking to bring back Ziyech on a permanent deal.

Chelsea look willing to sell, and the asking price is a very reasonable 30 mil. euros. It would be a good replacement, it sounds like a good deal to all parties.

_______________

In other news, Napoli seems interested in Cristiano Ronaldo.

[DU18]

Fabrizio Romano is saying that the deal for Antony is done - the fee is 100 million euros.
I still can't understand why United overpaid so much, I don't feel he's such a good player to command one of the highest transfer fees ever paid.

Fantastic business from Ajax though, they brought him in 2 years ago for 15 million euros.

what I see is more criticism and also memes about Anthony's transfer to MU than praise lol.



MU doesn't need to pay directly, but if Anthony 'flops' then MU is wasting that much money. MU is like playing gambling, many fans really hope that Anthony can shine like the money that MU spent.

Manchester united and Antony can breathe a sigh of relief after the deal finally happened, because previously Ajax had said NO to every offer that came in to Antony and kept Antony at Ajax, I don't know if Antony could be Manchester best purchase or the high price would be become a nightmare for Manchester United later, indeed we admit that Antony is a good player but will he be able to adapt and compete in a competitive league as competitive as the English league later?
Glazers, who are now constantly being pressured to sell Manchester by fans, have spent quite a lot of money in the transfer market this summer seems to silence the manchester fans.

The problem is that everyone blamed Glazers for not spending enough money at all, and then they ended up spending way too much for players that did not deserve it. It just doesn't make sense to me that they would end up buying Antony for 1000 milliion or even 80 million to be fair. They always pay way too much money to convince people to come to United. If they spent like 30 million on Martinez, then like 35-40 for Antony, and like 40 million for casemiro, they would have handled all of that in 100 million total, maybe a bit more or maybe a bit less. So that is what I care about the most, not transfers themselves.

[KTChampions]

But the fact is that it happened because this deal has been agreed by Manchester United and this is indeed a very fantastic and profitable price for Ajax who sold Antony.
Maybe it was because of Ten Hag's desire to bring in Antony that whatever his management did but at a price of 100 million euros is a very crazy price and we can only see how Antony can make his Manchester United debut later.

Will this be a player according to expectations at his price or become a regular player?

On the one hand, it is sad that Ajax is being dismantled and there is not much left from last year's team, so their results will also fall. On the other hand, it's a super good deal for them and it's likely they were only able to get that amount because United were in a dire situation and willing to spend the extra money. It's hard to say how Anthony will perform in the Premier League, but for these money he should be more than just an regular player.

[Woodie]

I still can't understand why United overpaid so much

Unfortunately, this 100mil is not all going to Ajax, Santos has a 20% share from this deal which happens to be the mother team of this deal, so Ajax was being smart on this business deal knowing another team has a stake in this, which makes this a big win for them.

I don't feel he's such a good player to command one of the highest transfer fees ever paid.

On this one, I blame United for putting in some last minute effort into this deal...and with Ajax smelling the desperation from United and their previous poor performance, Ajax had the bargaining power which forced Uniteds hand to dish out the 100million and this has to go over this amount by the way because there are taxes to be considered in this deal...

Fantastic business from Ajax though, they brought him in 2 years ago for 15 million euros.

This is more than a good business deal, it's a rip off for someone who isn't a proven product... to make matters worse a 22 year old??? Anyway, all that is left is to welcome the lad to the most competitive league and hope he makes a name for himself and the club...in a good way

Manchester United are one of the teams that have made the highest signings this season.They signed Casemiro,for a huge price and now they've signed Anthony for 100 million.This looks crazy in football and the way I'm seeing,it looks like they will still sign more players before the transfer window ends.Eriken is one of the players they have signed,and with these signings,Manchester United is supposed to have elevated to a greater heights.
Nevertheless,let's wait to see whether with the addition of Anthony,they will be tittle contenders.

100 M Euros? Are you serious? Is Anthony really that valuable? I agree that he is a good player, but 100 M Euros? I don't think he will be that valuable. It doesn't make sense for Manchester United to pay that much. They could have bought some good players with that money instead of Anthony.

But the fact is that it happened because this deal has been agreed by Manchester United and this is indeed a very fantastic and profitable price for Ajax who sold Antony.

Man United has really become a source of income for Ajax in this summer's transfer window. After successfully getting 57 Million euros from the sale of Lisandro Martinez, now they will get fresh funds again because it seems Ajax has agreed 100 Million euros deal for Man United to sign Antony. I think Man United is quite reckless and too extravagant in spending because I don't think Antony is worth more than 60 million euros. He did play well at Ajax but the Premier League is on a different level to the Eredivisie. 100 million euros is a very fantastic transfer value and it can become a burden if what is expected does not match expectations (as happened to Maguire).

[FanEagle]

Go check players like Grealish are they worth the big money move and decision I don't know why when it's not English the media criticize them for such big fee's. Wesley Fofana is another one, Maguire of Manchester United rather they protect this players at all cost because they own the Media. Last game against Southampton, Rashford was more like a ghost no where to be found he is only found against big clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea, since the start of the season how many successfully dribbles and chances created has he had ?
Let the young player be, Antony is not over hyped and priced for me, he just have to come and prove a lotta people in the premier league..

I think it is not about "overpaying" for these type of clubs. They are paying because Ajax wouldn't sell to United type of clubs unless they pay so much. Let's assume Dortmund offered 50-60 million, they may have accepted, or maybe Lazio offered 30 million, they may have still considered it. Look at Bayern, they are a big club too and got Ryan for so much cheaper, because it was a legit offer and all they could offer, Ajax knew this so they had to either accept or reject.

United however could offer this much, they have the finances for it and that is why Ajax got away with 100 million number, they are capable of offering this much and Ajax wanted that much for that reason, not because how much Antony is worth.

That is whopping some amount of money (£100 Million pounds) for signing such a player like Antony and I guess much expectations will be opon him, I hope he delivers on the job. However if the signing could turn things around for Manchester united at this point in time on their efforts to bring Man United back to glory better for them and I have no problem with the price. In my general opinion with the number of players they've signed this season, if this current squad aren't able to turns things around and reposition Man U to where they're supposed to be, then they will be having a longer way to go than this.

we will see how MU changes in the next few weeks. if they make a good purchase, I think positive results they will get.
MU has spent quite a lot of money this season. Of course, there will be big targets for Tan Hag to meet. otherwise, I think we will see Manchester United coached by Tan Hag for at least half of the season. MU must get better results than last season. now their squad is much better.

[Raflesia]

I haven't seen anywhere recently about him wanting to go to Sporting. he did say he wanted to return to the club that made his name but at the moment he is still very ambitious to play at the best level and when you see that there is really no reason to play at Sporting for this season.
He will be back there I think but now is not the right time to go.

"The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Sporting de Portugal is a reality," the Spain-based media wrote.

"Contacts for Cristiano Ronaldo have already started and Sporting de Portugal can close the return of the Portuguese player."

I read about this in the news, I was not so surprised because CR7's ambition is to establish his personal record in the UCL, it's huge especially at this time Messi is still playing at PSG and is productive in terms of scoring goals

less than 3 days left and this season's transfer window is closed, let's keep an eye on the end of the CR7 and MU drama

In fact it was news a few days ago but he was still playing for Manchester United in yesterday's game so this hasn't happened yet and is still a rumor I think.
But I still believe he will stay at Manchester United despite the news like that.
Because if you look at this time, actually the news about Sporting CP is not the only one, but Ronaldo's news with Napoli has also resurfaced.

I still think that Manchester United overpaid for this player. There is no way he should be worth €100 million. We have seen Manchester United overpay for a few players before as well. And that did not end very well for Manchester United. I really hope that Manchester United knows what they are doing. Otherwise, this is going to be €100 million lost for Manchester United just like the 80 million loss for Harry Maguire. Taking a look at the current Manchester United team, it's hard to find a player capable of standing out.

But the fact is that it happened because this deal has been agreed by Manchester United and this is indeed a very fantastic and profitable price for Ajax who sold Antony.

The newest youngster who is going to be at Manchester United if everything works out well is a 22 years old player. Obviously, he has time on his side. So Manchester United will be able to work with him for a long time.

But the problem is there is no way he could be worth a hundred million euros right now. Probably in the future if he was a more complete player this deal could have made sense. However, it doesn't make sense right now to pay this much money for him. This is going to be a very good deal for Ajax.

It's just too much fee Chelsea are putting on for Ziyech way past his best day's not saying he is a bad player but the transfer fee is just too much. Ajax have to agree with the fee and bringing Ziyech back won't cost them much.
Mendes doing he's job behind the scenes to get Ronaldo out of Manchester United really fast. Hudson Odoi should Also be at Germany to complete a loan switch should be a done deal already.

[Slow death]

In other news, Napoli seems interested in Cristiano Ronaldo.

man it would be a good choice for cristiano ronaldo to go to napoli because napoli will play in the champions league but napoli is also much better than manchester united, if we compare napoli's style of play with manchester united's style of play without a doubt what to choose napoli is the best option. I think that if I were in cristiano ronaldo's place I would even accept to receive a low salary to be able to play in napoli but it seems to me that cristiano ronaldo is greedy and doesn't want to lower his salary to the point where many clubs are able to pay him. I hope he manages to move to napoli before he ruins his career at manchest united where he's not even playing regularly

In fact it was news a few days ago but he was still playing for Manchester United in yesterday's game so this hasn't happened yet and is still a rumor I think.

apparently it is something very serious and in the next few days he can be presented in sporting, in my opinion in the next days he will go to napoli or he will go to sporting. but it is certain that he will leave manchester united, if i think that if he goes to sporting he will not make it far in the champions league, that is a fact

[kro55]

Man United agree €95m deal for Ajax winger

I think signing Antony for 95 million is a waste of money. It is a huge amount. It's not even that Antony is an important player for Ajax or that he's scoring goals regularly. In the 2021–22 season, Ajax managed to score just 8 goals in 23 appearances in the Eredivisie League. I'm not saying that Antony is a bad player. He is a player with considerable potential, and if Manchester United were able to sign Antony for £40m I would say it would be a good deal.

The Ten Hag are probably not interested in keeping Ronaldo in their squad. Antony's inclusion in the squad will further reduce Ronaldo's chances of being in the starting XI. We don't understand why Ten Hag keeps a talented player like Ronaldo on the bench.

He is a potential young player, regardless of the price given, it is clear that Ten Hag knows the capacity of this player.
He was one of Ten Hag's trusted players when he coached at Ajax. On the other hand, he played an important role in Ajax's performance last season.
On the other hand, it seems that Ten Hag feels that instead of looking for chemistry with other players, it is only his foster children who have been caught like Martinez and Antony who were brought to MU.

I will not argue whether Antony is a promising player. Maybe he is a potential player. He may perform better in the future. But he is still not a good experimented player. Haaland was Dortmund's key player. But Antony is Ajax's main player? I don't think so.

But Tan hag stayed with Antony for a long time. He probably knows this player very well. And maybe Ten Hag could use Antony well. Still I'd say 95 million is too much for Antony. But Manchester United has plenty of money. They need better gameplay now.

Maguire's phenomenal purchase will be hard to forget because the world's most expensive defender, currently only on the bench lol. I'm sure that Anthony's purchase was the desire of Ten Hag and reportedly that's what made Cristiano a little annoyed with the decision to buy the players recommended by Ten Hag.

it's only a matter of hours until the transfer window closes, and we'll see if this expensive player (Anthony) will bring in a lot of trophies for MU lol.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Reportedly the two teams have indeed agreed verbally on the transfer of Jude Bellingham, but Dortmund and Liverpool will reportedly realize the agreement in the transfer of January, Dortmund who this summer have lost Haalaand of course do not want some of their players to leave at once, Dortmund have set a price high for Jude Bellingham and Liverpool are even ready to pay 100 million pounds to bring Jude to Anfield in January.

What the mistake made again by Dortmund if agree selling Jude Bellingham although transfer agreement on next window transfer at January, I think Dortmund have losing Erling Haaland after joining with Manchester City and right now loss potential young player like Jude Bellingham make Dortmund not will be favorite for Bundesliga trophy. I doubt with player composition in this season guarantee Dortmund can finish on top fourth position standing. How ever Dortmund have play on UEFA Champion  League, then losing Jude Bellingham make Dortmund not really as stronger team again. I think with 100 million pounds make Dortmund want to sell Jude Bellingham for Liverpool, but still can't guarantee for him will get regular position with Liverpool.

You are right for me, Dortmund has done very bad business, I would never have let Haaland go, for me he is a player who can solve any game and on any occasion the Viking can do what he wants on the field of play making the best plays , assists and scoring goals, if Dortmund wants to sell Jude Bellingham it will be another mistake, I don't know, but I think that even Dortmund rejected CR7 and this is a player who could contribute a lot, more at the moment they are going through, the things don't look good and they have the luxury of turning down good opportunities, this is something they may regret in the near future.

Well Anthony is a good player, although I don't consider him the best defender in the world, I think that transfer has already been made, right? Ten's arguments for me are very superficial, he is putting together a team that is not bad, but he doesn't take advantage of his best players either, if he is so bad with CR7 why won't he sell him? an Italian team is interested, but things are not going well for CR7, for me this year we will not see CR7 in the UCL, and it is a pity, even though he is a player who always has something good to show, however we will see a lot emotion, especially on the part of Barcelona, which has the moral duty to win at any rate.

[GiftedMAN]

It's just too much fee Chelsea are putting on for Ziyech way past his best day's not saying he is a bad player but the transfer fee is just too much. Ajax have to agree with the fee and bringing Ziyech back won't cost them much.
Mendes doing he's job behind the scenes to get Ronaldo out of Manchester United really fast. Hudson Odoi should Also be at Germany to complete a loan switch should be a done deal already.

I don't think Chelsea is asking for much fee for Ziyech,  United just paid a whopping sum of £100 million for Ajax player Anthony which I feel it's a good deal but a waste of money because Anthony is not worth that huge amount so I expect Ajax to pay Chelsea for Ziyech and don't complain about the fee since he's going to cover the space of Anthony.

For the case of Ronaldo, Ten Hag is trying to frustrate every effort that's going to link the movement of Ronaldo out of Manchester United I guess Mendes is just wasting his time with the secret moves cause Ten Hag want to keep Ronaldo in the bench for a reason I don't understand. Hudson Odoi will certainly move but it's not a done deal yet I believe.
