⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DU18]

Ronaldo is still the best footballer of all time despite the situation at Manchester United there is still no argument that he is the best. I know he's aged and his performance level has dropped but that should be normal right? Too many critics these days against Ronaldo for a player who loves the club but is only watching out for himself as he has just a few years left under his belt before retirement.

Actually, in this case I still see that it is not the performance that has been criticized lately and even that is not criticism in my opinion because it is still in the context of discussing the future that he will do.
We know that he is one of the players who is still above average now despite his age but this does not mean that he is a bad player with the quality he is now.

Antony arrival to Manchester will automatically make Ten Hag have a mainstay to spearhead the front line and judging by Ten Hag deteriorating relationship with Ronaldo, of course Ronaldo will be removed by Ten Hag later, now the transfer market has entered its last day and there is no clarity on the future of Ronaldo certainly makes us quite curious, but I personally really want to see Ronaldo can collaborate with Antony later in Manchester, whether it happens or not of course only time will tell

Antony's transfer to United has finally been completed today. 100 million. That is really a lot of money. I don't mean in society specifically, but especially when you consider what the top strikers in the world would cost right now. Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe.. Would Antony belong in that list do you think? Ronaldo and Antony together in the striker, I wonder if Ronaldo is still hungry for that, even though Antony is a winger. Is there actually anything known about Ronaldo? The deadline is getting closer and closer. He seems to be in a split. He wants to leave United, but no one else can pay his salary. United are still one of the richest clubs in the world.

There is very little left before the transfer closes, maybe there will be some surprises or maybe not, we'll see.
As for prices, you can roughly look at a case like Mbappe: he was originally bought for 180 million (annual lease + transfer upon its completion). Then he extended his contract with PSG, receiving a signing bonus of 150 million, a salary of 57 million (after taxes) and the opportunity to receive another 150 million in bonuses. Thus, from 2017 to 2025, PSG spent/will spend 480 million on Mbappe without even a salary. If you take into account the salary, then the amount will be close to a billion.

Ronaldo no longer has a future as a football player, but it is possible that he still has a future as a football coach, as has happened to some football players who have an old age they usually retire and choose to become coaches, but with a bad side Ronaldo at the end of his adventure in football made many big clubs think more about attracting him.

I think you misjudged Ronaldo, he is an extraordinary player and he still has the physical and stamina that is still fit at his age. it's just that his desire to leave Old trafford made his performance unstable. in fact, until now the management of man united still maintains ronaldo until the end of his contract ends.
I'm sure, Erik has a plan and strategy for Ronaldo and the newcomers. Currently, Erik has brought in several new players who are predicted to help the Red Devils' performance get better.
So let's see, if erik can bring the red devil squad in a better direction or not.

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.

Now, a coach brings in Antony from Ajax with a fantastic transfer, and for sure the Ronaldo position is so vulnerable,

Ronaldo is a center forward (CF), while Antony is a right-winger. So, how can Antony make Ronaldo's position vulnerable?
Martial and Rashford are the competitors for the CF position. But these players can play at some positions, so Ronaldo should be the first option if he can maintain good performance.

By the way, Man United now can have the formation of young attackers (Antony-Sancho-Rashford). Looks very convincing for Man United future.

Ronaldo was originally a winger but now he has transformed into a goal machine with a position as a center forward, so both Ronaldo and Antony can play together at the same time. Despite the complexity of the current situation between Ronaldo and Man United, I think the trio of Ronaldo, Sancho, and Antony seems to be the most promising composition. Sancho and Antony are wingers who have speed and they both have good dribbling and penetration movement, while Ronaldo can be a target man because he still has a sharp goal-scoring instinct.

@abhiseshakana I believe that Martial will be the main striker and not Ronaldo, and Sancho and Anthony will support him and at this stage I’m not even sure where Rashford fits in. Furthermore Ten Hag need quick player’s, and therefore I don’t think that Ronaldo can be in the starting lineup and even if he stays then he’ll only be used as a super sub or he’ll only make it to the starting lineup in case Martial is unavailable.

His agent was still trying various effort to attract chelsea to buy ronaldo. I saw that how hard his agent was trying. The problem is chelsea may also in hurry to bring back another striker from another club as well. The chance for ronaldo to join with chelsea is very small at this moment.
Im feeling doubt if that's gonna happen with ronaldo. How difficult ronaldo to get a new club. Sporting lisbon can also become the new club for him as long as he will be in free transfer which is impossible for now.
Ronaldo has no a lot of options for this. Many clubs have been rejecting him in a row.

This is perfect. This is exactly how it's been played inner my head this is how I picture then playing, then, in case of injuries they can Introduce whoever Marcus Rashford, Antonio Martial and Elanga possibly Garnacho.
Antony and Sancho are both good creative player's, one on the right and the other left, it'll be difficult for opposite side to get hold of the game, if both ways are not working then you see Bruno Fernandez and Erikson cooking long range shot's into goal. I've been waiting all long for this kind of team.

I'd really be grateful if they can also get a back up player for Diego Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, coz as for me, Luke Shaw not even sure enough to be a back up player.

But in the last few games that United have run, Ten Hag's focus is still on Rashford, not Martial or Ronaldo.
At the moment it seems Ten Hag is quite comfortable in its 4-2-3-1 scheme which in the last few matches has gone very well and can win the match.
But maybe next week's match will be different because Antony is already at Old Trafford, so the possibility of 4-3-3 will be an option.

Manchester united is not good in doing transfer business, they always buy players at over high price and let them go free when they are worth less. It is not only Manchester United that is in this bracket, every other clubs in England are victims of this. It was only Arsene Wenger of Arsenal that understood the business and it was going fine for him.

Manchester United are that way for two reasons, one is that the transfer market in football this days has gone abslolutely crazy, clubs now place an outrageous valuation on their players, in a bid to make sure they get the most out of them, and two because Manchester United are a deperate club, they have not won the league in a long while, they have changed managers a lot in the last couple of season, and now they are just 'ticking every box' in the hope that one works out for them, and when it doesn't, they are left with egg on their face and they sometimes have to sell the players for very less.

Having said that, you can't compare what Wenger was doing at Arsenal then, with what the situation of the market is now, if you take that approach, i'm afraid you'd not win any trophy, and would prolly struggle to even finish in the top four, this days you can't even get average players for a cheap amount, you have to spend money to stay at the top, that is the reality mate.

Here I will be blame only Ronaldo because few weeks back there were few chances and Manchester United was also ready to allow him for joining any other club for one season with option he has to join back them if they qualify for next seasons Champions League this all was settled, but sadly he was not cutting his salary which is also the biggest problem for many clubs like AS Roma and Napoli they refused to play salary which is currently Manchester United giving and same happened here in Atletico Madrid with they were ready to give Antoine Griezmann but again here salary was issue with them as they finances were not allowing them to pay this salary and Ronaldo not cutting salary which is surely a big blunder from him for moving to any other club for playing into Champions League into this season.

I'd really be grateful if they can also get a back up player for Diego Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, coz as for me, Luke Shaw not even sure enough to be a back up player.

It seems like ten Haag is pretty much convinced with Shaw. I think he is the backup option on the left hand side. I also agree not a good option but seems like ten Haag is convinced he can work out with him. On the right hand side, there is Wan-Bissaka for which United are working out on selling him but haven't found any potential buyer. There are also rumours of Dear to United but for that to happen Bissaka needs to be sold out.

Despite being on the bench more often and also not getting many playing opportunities, United doesn't seem to be selling Bissaka. I don't know what made Ten Hag put him back in his ambitious plans this season. but Ten Hag should give more chances to players he rarely plays. If it's not in the plans I think United can sell him instead of thinking about the players' salaries.

Erik ten Hag feels confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window, although in recent days talks about a move have been discussed between Napoli and Ronaldo's former club Sporting CP.

It will be interesting to wait for the formation or game scheme that will be applied by Erik ten Hag after the arrival of Antony from Ajax, whether Ronaldo will still get playing minutes even as a substitute.

What is clear is that Erik ten Hag really needs quality players to be consistent in every game in order to compete with the top teams in the Premier League this season.

Last day on summer transfer window utilized by Fulham to get new player and they successfully get Brazilian player who has no clubs currently Willian and according to the news Willian will get short term contract with Fulham and about his career most people know Willian is former of Chelsea player and he has experience playing at Premier League although he is not young anymore but Fulham manager Marco Silva hopes Willian will help Fulham to survive in Premier League

Wesley Fofana: Chelsea sign 21-year-old French defender from Leicester City for £70m
According to bbcsport Chelsea had finally completed the signing of Wesley Fofana from Leceister City in a deal worth £70m plus add-ons. I believe his presence in Chelsea squad will boost their weak defence and with age on his side and a long term contract agreement, I believe Tuchel will norture and mould this guy to a world class defender he is very young with a bright future personally I think his sign-on looks too expensive to me, just like when Man Utd signed Maguire from the same club, I hope he delivers for the club

James Garner, a potential midfielder owned by Manchester United, has a £15m transfer deal with Everton. After an impressive 2021/22 season at Forest, it looked like Garner would find a chance to prove himself at United, but now he is close to joining Everton for the season.

Although personal terms need to be finalized, the Toffees and the England youth international have agreed a fee of £15m which includes the extra. Although Southampton and Leicester City have both expressed interest, he is expected to accept a contract with Goodison Park.

[yudi09]

David Moyes made a great transfer to strengthen the West Ham United squad by signing Lucas Paquetá from Olympique Lyon for a confirmed €43m guaranteed fee plus €17m add-ons. The Scottish coach who is considered to be Alex Ferguson successor when he was chosen as Manchester United coach could use Lucas Paquetá as Bowen's partner in building attacks at Wesh Ham United.
Speculation where Edison Cavani will land has been decided. Valencia has officially become Canavi's new club which was obtained on a free transfer. The player who earned the nickname El Matador while strengthening Napoli will strengthen Valenci for two years.

It is a very good signing for West Ham United. I thought Arsenal would be the one to make this deal because Paquetá joining will add more power to our midfield but unfortunately West Ham United got the deal. Good move by Moyes I can't wait to watch West Ham games with Paquetá playing, he will definitely strengthen West Ham and add talpent and experience to the midfield.

Lucas Paquetá probably knew if he played at Arsenal it would be difficult for him to break into Arteta's starting line-up, which led Paquetá to choose West Ham United.
Martin degaard, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have all been in form since the start of the season and Arteta will certainly not replace them in the starting eleven to help Gabriel Jesus in the lone striker position. It is very likely that if Lucas Paquetá lands at Arsenal, he will be their substitute.
In contrast to West Ham who still have the opportunity to get his position in the main line-up. Moyes can still play Paquetá as a playmaker above Tomáš Souček and Pablo Fornals who plays as a central midfielder.

Although personal terms need to be finalized, the Toffees and the England youth international have agreed a fee of £15m which includes the extra. Although Southampton and Leicester City have both expressed interest, he is expected to accept a contract with Goodison Park.

Manchester United took a quick decision to let go of James Garner, having both Casemiro and MacTominay around means there will be lesser game chance for him, so it wouldn't be nice sending him off for a loan but rather to sell him.
He has room to improve, he's shown top class from championship along with Nottingham Forest but they have some ins already so bidding for him seems dump. Good luck to the young man on his new path.

Tottenham also have increased their interest for the Welsh international James the former Leeds United and Manchester United player. It's the last days of the transfer windows as we'll see some shocking moves.
As of Ronaldo, Ten Hag has confirmed he is untouchable and a top priority for Man United. Wan Bi Saka also won't be sold as he'll be around till whenever Manchester United needs improvement.

[wiss19]

From this list I think only Manchester City, Barcelona and Arsenal transfer that's really successful because they're improved a lot with their new players.

Honestly PSG didn't even need to sign Messi and Neymar because in Ligue 1 there's no clubs that can compete them, PSG could win easily with Mbappe, Di Maria, and Ramos. But they're just want to create a fan club, so they sign a popular players and it make PSG become very popular club. However I think even though they spent a lot money, they're already generate more money from advertisement and marketing.

I am feeling completely opposite of you because if PSG not signed Mbappé and have Neymar and Messi with few other players they can do much better instead of having Mbappé which is creating problems for France National team and PSG as well his attitude is surely going to be his biggest enemy in near future as we have too many complaints which are clearing saying he is selfish player and have no respect for others which is surely issue and this is hurting PSG badly in last few seasons.

France National team is having Benzema which is much better than Mbappé, and they can handle this all easily here in PSG if they follow stick rules and give all players same protocol then surely they can achieve better results instead of current which are surely going to be big issue right now for them in Champions League.

[dezoel]

AC Milan have done well in their transfer dealings this summer to strengthen the squad. I'm positive the new players will make good additions to the team and it seems like they are not done yet, they are still aiming to add one or two more before the window closes which in my opinion will really boost the squad for the rest of the season until January. I heard they are chasing Wolfsburg's Aster Vranckx as well

In this season we are going to have tough challenge for title race in Serie A with many teams are strengthening their squads for better results and AC Milan is defending champions which mean they have to face them like Roma, Juventus and Inter all are in good shape Napoli and Atlanta are having tag of Dark Horse which mean life is not easy in this season just because of this they are doing good things even having some finances issues but still good enough because with these changes they can do better than expectations which are good.

Even defending title is not easy for them but trying their best and specially trying to stay into top four is another challenge for them which need hard fought and skilled players as well, hopefully with these transfers they can achieve this all in this season.
