⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pandu Geddon]

How long laliga have been started? if that was almost at the end of la liga and you can sure about that but it's only a few match since la liga has begun. that means if the chance for benzema to compete with lewandowski will always there.
There are so many matches remaining for both of team. The real competition will be started during mid until the end of la liga. Im not feeling doubt about this too. I think that you shall not underestimate benzema. He has a big chance to be the same as lewandowski. In my opinion if this case is not only about the personality.

It's only 5 weeks and there's 33 weeks more, the difference between Benzema and Lewandowski goals are just 3 goals, so there's a high chance Benzema might overtake Lewandowski in the future. If Benzema really want to become the top scorers, it's hard for him since he need to fight with his teammates e.g. Vinicius and Rodrygo. While Lewandowski is more easier since there's no other his teammates can compete against him.

I hope the competition for top goalscorers this season doesn't make them so selfish in scoring goals.
Lewandowski became a target to score at Barcelona. of course his productivity will be better than Benzema. the most important thing is to think about the team's victory, not an ambition to be the top scorer.

The transfer clause for Antoine Griezmann is likely to be reduced from $40M to $25M between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. As On and Off the Field, Atletico have proven to be the masters that Barcelona thought they could outsmart. Whenever Atletico trades with Barcelona, it gets the best deal. It is possible that the agreement will be reached at the end of the 60th minute substitution.

Both are also of the same age but Benzema is currently injured so he is not showing a good performance, in contrast to Robert Lewandowski who has very good strength because he always keeps his game to play relaxed and his body condition is always fit and does not get any injuries, at least they are at the top of the world of football.

Karim Benzema was very fortunate that last season was a fantastic one. He might be able to win the greatest footballer award; the Ballon d'Or. This is because age is really catching up with him and it might take a longer time for him to recover from injuries. Robert Lewandowski should enjoy and use this golden period in Barcelona. He has the best midfielders and an outstanding attacking partnership made up of talented young players. Maybe, it might be his chance to win the world best that he was deprived of the last time.

Robert Lewandowski is currently at the peak of golden age, it is unexpected that at this age he can still have full stamina and strength, moreover he is well received at a big club, meaning that Robert Lewandowski is a player with skills that are above average. At least this should be maintained and as much as possible to be improved again because it is very difficult to find players with skills like this Robert Lewandowski.

we have seen how age makes all players of the goalscoring machines dim. Lewandowski and Benzema are at their best and in the next few years when they get older their performance will decline and not be as sharp as what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Besides that, football is a business so don't be surprised if later (in the next few years) Benzema and Lewandowski will have cheap values and play for small teams.

That is very true, the fight for the golden boot will be tougher for Karim Benzema because at Real Madrid there is more competition amongst his team mates when it comes to scoring goals. Vinicius and Rodrygo are also contenders in the race so the focus on who to score goals for Real Madrid is been shared amongst these three while at Barcelona, Lewandowski has bigger chances of winning the golden boot because he is the key player for scoring goals in the team and when they attack he is the centre man who all passes are targeted to.

The competition of the highest goal scorer cannot make either Benzema or Lewandowski to be selfish in the pitch. Both players are experienced and high profile players and not like Mbappe of PSG whose ego and money has turned into a selfish footballer.
The good thing about the rivalry of Benzema and Lewandowski is that they will revive the vibe and excitement in Laliga which Messi and Ronaldo left, especially during El Clasico matches. And the good thing is that both players are on the end of their career and still giving out their best.

Recently, Diego Costa has not been performing well in terms of his performance on the field. During the last season, he played 26 matches and scored seven goals in that time period. Still, I do not think he has been completely washed of all his sins. In spite of this, I still think that he has the potential to play a good brand of football.

I believe he will be able to perform well at Wolves, but the problem with him is that he is going to have to compete against a lot of competition in the English Premier League. In the era of Haaland, there is no space for Diego Costa. In the glory days of Atletico Madrid, you know, Diego Costa was a key member of the team. My opinion is that with him being a part of the Wolves team, the quality of football within the team is going to improve as a result.

He has long been in the levels of "go to out of big 5 nations" type of player if you ask me, even was last year, and he definitely is this year as well. Going from teamless to Wolves is a big deal, dude found himself another chance to prove that he can still play, and he is only 33 years old, these days player can go a lot more, so if he plays well then he may find a few more years of contract here and there to make very good money, if not then he could look for the same type of money all from another team outside of the 5 big leagues, and he could get paid as much as 3-4 million at least if he plays in the leagues like Qatar or USA because they really pay a lot for this level of talent.

And that's what's mandatory for every club and team. Scoring goals is a nice feeling not just nice but great feeling watching the club and team taking all three points is the best feelings as that builds confidence to a total higher level.
The league ajs a long way to still go but, in terms of creating chances, Barcelona are doing more,so if he can covert those goals in, I think he has a better chance of topping the goal standing ahead of Karim Benzema. Lewandoski also has the capabilities of winning Ballon d'or that's only possible if he gets discipline by demanding more from himself.

Juan Mata and Mario Icardi moving to the Turkish side, Galatasaray is really a nice for them. The club will welcome new players in their games and they will adapt sooner than later for the new sides. Juan Mata deal will be valid for a year while Icardi deal is a long time deal. The two players have something in common, for Mata, he had already been left out of the United squad due to his age and the premier league is difficult for men that have pass their required strength to play. Concerning Icardi, he fall out of favour in PSG, having so many keyplayers in the club at the moment, his chances of playing games is very narrow, so making a move to Galatasaray is perfect for him.

Juan Mata and  Mario Icardi's move to Galatasaray  is a good move, at Galatasaray they will get much playing time and the league seems to be easier which gives gives them greater opportunity to play and strive in the league and I think it will also be easier to adapt quickly in the league. Hopefully they will be able to strive and maintain good performance in this league.

Kante has been injured for a month. Chelsea will be curious about how strong he will be able to play from now on. If this injury affects his performance badly then Chelsea might not think of extending his contract. Kante has always been an important part of this team so far. However they can find a solid alternative to him too in the end. Kante will need to convince them not to do so by his effort. Normally I don't doubt him but this injury period has been quite long. Let's see what he can do after his return on September 15.

Kante is a very good player, I mean his contributions in the team day in and day out has been marvelous, what baffles me most is his work rate, like Kante is like the engine box of the the midfield. I believe his presence is greatly missed and so far the available option - Jorginho have not been good enough and reliable so they will be looking to get a replacement probably in January to fill in for Kante.

Let's see what he can do after his return on September 15.

Sure. Getting injured for a long time is very possible to affect a player's performance. It depends on how the effort of Kante to play again with his best form. If Kante has a strong intention to perform again at his best level, I think it is not impossible to see Kante play again in his previous form. As far as I know, Kante is a hard worker. He is a typical player who always pushes his performance to the next level. Because of this, I am not afraid that Kante will play again at his best level. And I am pretty sure that Chelsea will extend his contract as expected.

If I know correctly he is going to make a comeback pretty soon. He was supposed to be injured for three/four weeks if I am not wrong. And he is a classy midfielder. There are very few players who are as good as him. And I also agree with the fact that he is a very hard worker.

So I think he is going to come back strong. But at the same time, it is going to be a little hard to make a comeback after coming out from an injury. And it is also really hard to find CDM like Kante. So there is no question that Chelsea is not going to let him go. The contract has to be extended.

Diego Costa had a fairly good record of performance with Chelsea in the past before finally deciding to leave for Atletico Madrid in the 2017/18 season.
At least that's one of the reasons for Wolverhampton bring him back to the EPL after much deliberation, other than that Wolverhampton has a slight advantage because before Diego Costa signed his move to Wolverhampton he doesn't have a club which means Wolverhampton not have to spend money to bring him to the Molineux Stadium.

Yes, an experienced striker. He should have been able to keep Wolves afloat in the EPL. Or at least they'll end up on a better board. Although he is old, his experience as a striker will certainly allow him to perform effectively. Not running much and using the opportunity to the maximum will certainly make him able to play effectively. After the move to Atletico indeed he did not feature so much before finally having no contractual ties to a professional club. So if he is able to perform well, certainly a big advantage but I think buying him is also a bet.

My opinion is that with him being a part of the Wolves team, the quality of football within the team is going to improve as a result.

English Premier league of today is different from what we saw few years ago. It will be difficult for Costa to make ground breaking impact in English Premier league presently because he does not have the energy anymore. The coaches in England are playing more of strength football and anyone that produces the better strength and energy wins the match.
That is why Liverpool is suffering now. Mane that produces majority of Liverpool's energy is out of the club and Thiago Alcantra that produces midfield strength has been injured for a while. Now Thiago is back, Liverpool will win more of their matches. If Costa doesn't produce enough energy he cannot compete with the likes of Haaland, Jesus Gabriel, Harry Kane etc.

He has long been in the levels of "go to out of big 5 nations" type of player if you ask me, even was last year, and he definitely is this year as well. Going from teamless to Wolves is a big deal, dude found himself another chance to prove that he can still play, and he is only 33 years old, these days player can go a lot more, so if he plays well then he may find a few more years of contract here and there to make very good money, if not then he could look for the same type of money all from another team outside of the 5 big leagues, and he could get paid as much as 3-4 million at least if he plays in the leagues like Qatar or USA because they really pay a lot for this level of talent.

Going from termless to Wolves is a very big deal.  It could be that Costa believes he has some more things to prove in the world of foodball and that is why he is still remaining in the 5 big leagues. 33 is not too bad for a striker, the likes of Benzema and Lewandowski are still performing.
CryptoBuds, remember that before Costa made name in the Spanish league, he already did in Chelsea. He still has idea of what English football looks like and he wants to try out.

I have said on several occasions that Ten Haga for me is a coach who has not done anything positive for Manchester United, the stars do not like his treatment, letting CR7 play only 6 minutes is a lack of respect for the career of he is underestimating it and I think it's not good to do that to anyone, what I see in Manchester United is a total hatred on the part of Ten towards the team, he doesn't want the best, and Ten can't play anymore, he can't either He leads the team to ruin, I don't really know what he is looking for? and it seems to me the height of all, that the Man United directors still believe in him, if they continue to do that mismanagement they will be very badly unemployed in the tournament.

I think Ten Hag is finally getting to understand the team and the league better and now that the club is finally bringing in new signings it will make it easier to work with the team and drive them towards improvement. I still have  faith in Ten Hag and I think with time he will turns things around in the club and try to bring out the best in the available players he has. I expect Ronaldo back in the starting 11 soon once Ten Hag has understood the game and the league.

Well I know that people must adapt to the leagues and the players, the bad thing is that while he adapts he is crushing the team and sending it straight to the ground, and by doing that it is a loss of money for the team, the truth is a little more radical in soccer, I am one of those who think that if he has lost more than 3 games and they extend it to more than 5, that coach is no good, he is not up to the task and they should throw him out so that he does not bring the team down team to a lower league, that's what I'm talking about and for the managers of Manchester United they are blind, it's as if they don't see the reality of this, Man United has history and for Ten he doesn't see the weight of this.

Without a doubt, Diego Costa wants to write better stories in the PL with the Wolves, he is a very good player, a 33-year-old striker who still has a lot to show us in football, his transfer is free, and if many have their hopes saved for this player, I think he will do a good job, some fans will welcome him with open arms, I think Wlves did not hesitate for a second to be able to make this type of transaction, I think he will bring them a lot, this player has not played professionally since 2021 , according to some figures in his statistics, when he returns to the PL, one of the things that Wolves fans will be able to see is the genius he has for scoring goals, he is a specialist up front.

Although Costa does turn 34 next month, let's not doubt the impact could have on Wolves. His CV speaks volumes: 52 goals in 89 Premier League appearances with numerous trophies to back his stats.

Hopefully he can play well here because at his age he can still compete but with this tough temper that has ruined his career a bit.
He might be able to improve the performance of Wolves as long as his eccentric behavior should be reduced a bit because he should already know what the EPL is like so when this opportunity comes he should not waste it.

Diego Coasta is one striker I love so much,back in his days at Chelsea,how he was a very good fighter,good goal scorer,and good finisher he was,and I still believe in his abilities till now.He will do well at Wolves,their coach believes in him that is why they bought him,and because of the trust they have in him,I think he will want to make the fans happy by proving himself and scoring goals for them.It is indeed good that EPL is going to be much with good strikers and good finishers.

Lewandowski and Raphinha's arrival this summer has stimulated the improvement of Ousmane Dembele, his performance has been superb this season and his contributions have been outstanding. It seems Lewandowski and Raphinha have that chemistry and they have been performing very fine playing together, the pair will do very well this season and make Barcelona attack formidable.

Lewandowski and Raphinha came to Barca to to help them win trophies.Ever since Raphinha and Lewandowski came to Barcelona,the club has not been thesame,they have been winning matches back to back making them strong contestant to the Lalliga tittle and the champions league.They will really be tough this season because the way they are scoring goals is alarming, Lewandowski has been so good this season,and I tip him for the Lalliga golden boot.

The lost against bayern must become a very bad situation for barcelona and it seems like if this team is not yet ready against bayern. it can be seen from how bad the performance that has been showing by barcelona. Im not feeling doubt if this time barcelona may not be able to go to the next round. The performance is so weak compared with bayern. Look at lewandowski can do nothing against bayern munchen. The bayern munchen have all of quality players on its team. That proves that just lewandowski is not enough to defeat bayern munchen,

No one doubts the skills or ability of Diego Costa, he is an experienced and strong striker. But he is well known as a temperament striker who often makes unnecessary behavior during the match. It sometimes makes him absent (doesn't play) in some matches because of punishment. If he can't handle his bad behavior, he can get difficulties playing consistently in EPL. But if he can control his emotion, I believe he can be successful with Wolves.

Diego Costa was indeed quite successful when he played for Chelsea, in the 2014-2017 period Diego Costa was a striker who was respected
by the opposing team. Even Diego Costa not only scored many important goals for Chelsea, but his contribution was very big for Chelsea,
because he became one of the key players while still strengthening Chelsea. Diego Costa helped Chelsea win 3 trophies, and Chelsea fans
liked Diego Costa back then. Although Diego Costa is quite a controversial and very emotional player, but it must be admitted that Diego Costa's
ability to score goals cannot be doubted. So it's a very good move by Wolves by bringing Diego Costa back to the Premier League. Even though
he's not young anymore, Diego Costa has the experience Wolves need. I can't wait to see Diego Costa's performance with Wolves this season,
hopefully Diego Costa can help Wolves rise to a much better position.

He brings 2 premier league titles and 1 FA cup for Chelsea which I think he creates an amazing achievement. but for his age, I doubt he can do it again for Wolves. As we know premier league competition is very tight where a player like Ronaldo or prestigious has fall already among the young player. however, it's reasonable if wolves recruit him, because it's free, it could be the next Lukaku when wolves succeed to manage him.

The Chelsea now is not the Chelsea it used to be, Chelsea used to have good strength, but now they often lose and struggle to reach number one at the top of the table, Wolves have a very low position and they must be able to work as a team well to increase points by win the game, but it looks like it will have to be done hard considering the opponents they found are very strong and very professional.
