⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Swordsoffreedom]

I would say Nagelsmann should change his formation. But it seems he won't do it. Because after the formation change, the team also needs some time to stabilize. So maybe Nagelsmann will decide to change the position of Sadio Mane in the next match. I think he will probably use Muller as the main striker. Sadio Mane is more likely to be on the left wing. Probably will keep the same position as Bayern Munich played against Barcelona.

The Leverkusen team is not strong this season I know it too. But this team's performance is erratic. I don't think Bayern Munich can win if they don't play well. Bayern Munich must perform very carefully in this match.

So inevitably Nagelsmann must target several main strikers in the next transfer window to improve Bayern's performance going forward. however, currently bayern munich have to play with existing players.
I'm not saying that their overall performance has decreased greatly. it's just that they don't have a finisher striker as the main Target Man like when there was Lewandowski.
so let's see, what strategy will Nagelsmann apply in that match. but I assume, Mane will still be the main striker.
As for Leverkusen, many people assume that Bayern will have a hard time in this match, but in fact it is Leverkusen who really need a win to rise so they can not fall to the bottom of the Bundesliga. I predict Bayern will win the game with a score of 2-1.

Not sure what strategy Bayern Munich will play yet. But I think they will play the same strategy against Leverkusen as Nagelsmann did against Barcelona. Because they were able to beat a strong team like Barcelona 2-0. Sadio Mane played the main striker role against Augsburg in the next match as well, but Bayern Munich lost the match.

Since the opponent is Leverkusen, it is very difficult to guarantee that Bayern will win this match. Leverkusen is not in good form right now, but they continue to try their best to get back on track. It is always difficult to win against such a team.

Even if Lewandowski stayed at Bayern, it would not change the problem that the club would be forced to deal with the problem of his departure. Well, if he left a year or two later (due to age) - I don’t see any fundamental differences. Top clubs solve the problem of leaving their stars in advance, for example, Real got rid of Ronaldo long before he passed his peak (or at least an acceptable level of play to be in Real) and nothing tragic happened to Real.
But of course it's funny that everything is shaping up so that in the end Ronaldo can be the savior of Bayern in the winter.

While you are correct in that it is counterproductive to talk about the past, I think you have a really great perspective on Cristiano Ronaldo joining Bayern Munich and I think you are really right. Since last season, CR7 has been wanting to get out of Manchester United as he has learned that United are not the team that will be able to compete in the Champions League, and he really wants to play in the Champions League. In my opinion, this could be a great option for both parties as Bayern Munich will be able to get a good striker for the next one or two years and Ronaldo will be able to play again in the Champions League.

Rather, not for a year or two, but for half the season and, at best, the next season. It seems that United were ready to release Ronaldo on loan, provided that Ronaldo extended the contract for another season. The idea was to bring him back if United won a ticket to the Champions League. Now the situation has changed, but a lot still depends on the results of United this season.

United is still having a chance to win a ticket to the champion league for the next season as long as this club can consistently winning the match against big club like city. United able to defeat arsenal and it was also able to do the same with city. MU has a big chance to make it happen. We know that if some big clubs like liverpools are starting to face difficult time to get full points in EPL. Remember that menchester city was also loosing against liverpool.
MU has more than enough to enter into the top 4 if the club will not face another lose or bad situation like early season.

I don’t think that this transfer is going to happen, unless Bayern have a new coach in place who badly wants Ronaldo to come and play for them. Furthermore it’ll also depend if Ten Hag wants him on the bench as the season progresses, hence it’s not in Ronaldo’s hand because as far as I know Bayern don’t want him and Ten Hag may not let him leave.

[Smack That Ace]

Bayern Munich has always been the Champion in Bundesliga , it is possible for Bayern Munich to win the trophy in the Bundesliga.  Their present performance  will be solved in short time.  Bayern Munich needs some time to come back strong.

Bayern Munich still has time to improve its performance to be more consistent in the upcoming matches, the defeat to Augsburg is an embarrassing tragedy for Bayern Munich because based on predictions and the quality of the Bayern Munich team it can easily win the match, but what happened on the field was the opposite, Munich had to swallow the first defeat of a team they should have been able to beat.

Julian Nagelsmann must be able to bring Bayern Munich to catch up 5 points behind Union Berlin who are at the top of the standings, however if Julian Nagelsmann fails to live up to the club's management hopes of seeing Munich back at the top of the table then his position will be jeopardized. A change of coach could be done if Nagelsmann failed to do his job, the Munich management could appoint Tuchel as the new coach because his current status is not in charge of any club.

Bayern Munich is not performing well right now and there is no excuse for that. They will obviously have to improve their performance. And I really don't understand what is not working. The team itself is really good. The players are very good individual players as well. So, there is no question that this team is still the best in Bundesliga.

And after that obviously, the finger is going to be pointed toward the coach. After all, the management can be the only reason why the team is not working as it should be. So I think the job of Nagelsmann is under a big threat. Unless he can improve the results of the team with some changed strategy.

It is definitely true that Bayern said multiple times now that they are not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course they respect him as a player and there is no doubt that he is still a very good striker that can help every team, but it just makes no sense for Bayern to pay a lot of money (transfer fee + a very high salary) for a player that is already 37 years old. It also seems like the rumors about Bayern Munich being interested to sign Harry Kane after this season could really be true. This will probably be a very expensive transfer for Bayern so it would just not make any sense to pay 30 or 40 Milion € now for CR7 for only half a season.

Actually, Harry Kane does not seem to have expressed and does not show a fervent desire to move to Bayern Munich. On the contrary, judging by the latest information, the player is going to stay and continue his performances for the club. However, I think that in this matter a lot rests on the figure of Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte. It's no secret that the player has excellent communication and understanding with the current head coach of the team. For Conte, there is such a trait as a tendency to change places and clubs and a possible repetition of the situation with the same Inter, when the coach was not satisfied with the efforts and transfer policy of the club. Therefore, if Conte leaves Tottenham, then I would not guarantee that Kane will not want to change the situation at another club. But also I would not guarantee that the priority option in this case would be the option with Bayern Munich.

Everything geta better off your comfort zone, I'll be much paranoid if this deal doesn't get sealed, that would be the best decision he has ever taken in his career honestly, he should have moved to Manchester City some seasons ago but too much of the price couldn't get that sealed.

I know very well he's been professional, but I must say he deserves a better and bigger team than Tottenham Hotspur. They're my hot pick foe the premier league though, but you can keep silent to Bayern Munich this way when you see they lack a number nine and you can fill in that space with your eyes wide shut!

I would be so happy to see another British player doing well with the likes of Sancho and Jude Bellingham who's doing it already.

I think so too, because if both parties don't come to a good agreement on something, then obviously any transfer will never happen. Especially if they both have different ideas by not wanting Ronaldo's arrival to Bayern and also by not having the intention of releasing Ronaldo from Ten Hag. So it's true that it's probably not going to happen to either team in terms of transfers for a certain amount of time

[CryptocurencyKing]

I see no good reason why Lukaku would want to return to Chelsea after a very disappointing performance at the club. I think Lukaku prefers to remain at Inter Milan where he feels at home and feel loved. His performance in the Seria A cannot be compared to that of the premier league. I strongly doubt Lukaku would want to play for Chelsea anymore judging from his fall out with the previous Thomas Tuchel.

Agree. Inter Milan is a very suitable club for Lukaku.
And I don't think Lukaku is the player Graham Potter wants either
Potter prefers young players, and the age of the players is something Potter is concerned about
Returning Bayer Leverkusen's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Brighton's Levi Colwill was a more logical choice for Potter.

Honestly from how the transfer season went and the way Lukaku was pushing for a move to Inter Milan, I think Lukaku will interested in extending his temporary deal in Inter Milan. But who knows with Tuchel now removed, the equation could change for Lukaku, raising his chances of being in Graham Potter’s plans. It all depends on the Manager and the player. If they can talk and assure him a change in system to suit him, he’ll definitely return after this season loan.

Lukakus play style does fit in very well with Inter Milan but sooner when management feel his slow for the game they certainly will dispose him as soon as possible! But overall he still has a lot to offer for the team and I see him leaving a good name for himself there.

[Velvet78]

Lukaku doesn't want to return to Chelsea no matter what. I don't think that Potter's arrival will change anything because Lukaku's problem wasn't with Tuchel actually. He just loves to play for Inter and he likes to live in Italy. In the circumstances it is too difficult for Chelsea to convince him.

I know that he is a temporary player at Inter for now but he would do his best to convince them to sign him permanently. As he is coming back from an injury soon we will see how passionate he is to stay.

I disagree with you, there is a possibility of Lukaka returning to London to play for Chelsea because his problem at Chelsea was the playing pattern of the then-Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, now that Potter is in charge there could be a chance to bring the striker back since he doesn't have a permanent deal with Inter Millan.

Talking about his love for Inter Milan, I think every player makes this statement because the club and country you are at the moment becomes your new home you don't expect him to say shit about his club knowing what the fans will say after that, Lukaku will love to come back to England because of his style of play matches with that of Chelsea and he has a good relationship with the club and also the players.

His situation at Chelsea does not appear to be improving, he admitted. His goal is to return to Inter as soon as possible as a permanent role. It would even be acceptable for him to lower his salary in order to make a return to Italy a reality. Inter Milan, however, refused to meet the Blues asking price due to their spending restrictions. Since it's impossible to let players leave, Lakuku won't leave.

Lukaku's problem was majorly with Tuchel, Tuchel made Lukaku to struggle, play him off position and benched him when is was inform. Tuchel has a problem in his coaching style, he defend alot and makes defenders to get goals even more than attackers. His style of play is not healthy for any striker.
If Potter can convince Lukaku, he will return to London to play for Chelsea. But the chances are very slim.

MU has more than enough to enter into the top 4 if the club will not face another lose or bad situation like early season.

In the Premier League, there is a huge pool of teams claiming the top 4, so even as a United fan, I'm not particularly optimistic here and cannot make any predictions (forecasts this season are especially random due to the World Cup that will break the whole season). And I would not compare Arsenal and City, I hope the Arsenal fans will forgive me, but for me Arsenal is the same clown club as United - they can win against anyone, and then lose to a clear underdog. City, unlike Arsenal, is much more stable.

[Ayers]

I still wonder why the much delay
Thomas Tuchel is jobless also Pochetino the former spurs coach.
Conte is so passionate about winning the premier league again.
But was not a bad player

What delay do you mean? If you mean Juventus is rather slow in signing a new coach, it must be caused by some considerations. Signing a new coach isn't as easy as you think, there should be a strong reason to do that. I'm sure Juventus has contacted all the potential coaches to replace Allegri, but they may have a little obstacle. It can be about the personal agreement, may be related to salary or other things. So, just be patient to wait for good news from Juventus management.

I always believe that it is better to wait and make the right choice rather than to rush into something and then regret it later on. Juventus is making the right choice by waiting until the right time to make the right decision, in my opinion. After all, Juventus are not going to appoint new coaches every day right? It will also be necessary for them to think about Dominique as well. I think we all need to remember that if the new management doesn't work out, the club will have to pay the total amount of the contract to sack the coach. So, it's better to make a voice decision by waiting and not rushing into things.

Lukaku can't perform so well and that's why chelsea didn't like him. I think he has taken the best choice. In my opinion if he was facing a problem on his performance caused by he can't adapt with the club. There are so many pressures when he was playing on chelsea compared with intermilan. I would not be surprised to see him was saying like that for chelsea. I will think the same thing like him too.

Juventus management still calm and waiting for several match result and keep fully believing Massimo Allegri for proofing he can be extended for several match later with Juventus, except all fans hope management as soon possible sack him from Juventus manager after several bad result achievement not only in domestic league but also Juventus got bad result on UEFA Champion League. Settle in 8th position standing won 2 of 8 games I don't think enough reason why Juventus management keep try believing with Massimo Allegri.

Actually if Juventus sacked Allegri before his contract ended have to pay all amount depending how long contract left with Allegri, I don't see this serious problem for each team when try sacking their manager, still remember with Chelsea ex manager Thomas Tuchel sacking before his contract ended and Chelsea need to pay bigger fund for him.

[crunck]

Selling Lewandowski is a thing of the past - there is no point in talking about how good it would be if he stayed or something like that. Now Nagelsmann has to work with what he has - either change the game plan, taking into account the fact that Bavaria does not have a center forward, or endure until the winter transfer window and buy Ronaldo (this will be the only option in winter). I don't see any other options given the state of the market and the frugality of Bavaria.

Every player has their own personal opinion; once they intend and make their decisions, they will live only to suit their desires, regardless of how good or important they are to the team.
It will be advantageous for Bayern to keep Lewandowski this season as they sign Mane and other players; however, they are still good, and I hope they sign a suitable replacement for him by January.

Even if Lewandowski stayed at Bayern, it would not change the problem that the club would be forced to deal with the problem of his departure. Well, if he left a year or two later (due to age) - I don’t see any fundamental differences. Top clubs solve the problem of leaving their stars in advance, for example, Real got rid of Ronaldo long before he passed his peak (or at least an acceptable level of play to be in Real) and nothing tragic happened to Real.
But of course it's funny that everything is shaping up so that in the end Ronaldo can be the savior of Bayern in the winter.

You have made out a good point. I think buying Cristiano Ronaldo can be a very good option for Bayern Munich. Obviously, Nagelsmann has to change the game plan because otherwise, they are going to keep losing. They are really feeling the need for a prolific striker in the team. I think even though Cristiano Ronaldo is not playing very well in Manchester United, he will be able to perform better in Bayern Munich because they will have a lot more trust in him. Never thought I would be saying this but I think till then they will have to play defensively.

[jostorres]

AFAIK Bayern said clearly and more than once that they have no intention to bring CR7. This is mainly due to his salary and his age. BTW that was said before he drops much in performance.. so why would they took him now while they can pick another young talented player? In World Cup we might discover some of them.

It is definitely true that Bayern said multiple times now that they are not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course they respect him as a player and there is no doubt that he is still a very good striker that can help every team, but it just makes no sense for Bayern to pay a lot of money (transfer fee + a very high salary) for a player that is already 37 years old.

This will probably be a very expensive transfer for Bayern so it would just not make any sense to pay 30 or 40 Milion € now for CR7 for only half a season.

Few weeks back Bayern Munich officially announced about this they are not interested in Cristiano Ronaldo, and they have no intention to sign him in near future but few media persons creating this hype just because of Bayern Munich current form which could be settled in coming days because they are trying on few strategies which is surely going to be set with all will be ok for them until end of this season.

Harry Kane is surely currently their target no one with his quality and skilled, but he is currently committed to Tottenham and Conte just because of this no one can give any prediction about this future if this season Tottenham going to have good result then surely he will try to stay here with Conte in any other case he can leave this without any trouble.

I see that too. Lukaku can't play so well like he was in inter for lasts seasons, After moving to the chelsea and i guess the pressure is too big for him. he was not able to resist from it. It was affecting his performance until he was moving to the intermilan. I would not be surprised to see him having  a hard time wtih intermilan like when he was also in chelsea. he must solve it as soon as possible.

[rahmad2nd]

You're right about that. Picking young talented player is far better rather than bringing an old player to the munich. Sadio mane needs more time to adapt with bayern. It seems like bayern must use its available resource for now to compete with another team in the bundesliga.
I know how hard bayern without pure striker that can act like lewandoski but the season is always still running no matter what happened with club

Yes that's right, it's too late for Bayern Munich to glance at CR7. like it or not, Nagelsmann must maximize the performance of his squad with existing resources. especially placing Sadio Mane in a position he likes to maximize his performance.

this situation is clearly not favorable for Bayern, they are experiencing a downward trend in the Bundesliga and will likely have an impact on matches in the champions league.
As for the pure strikers they need going forward, in my opinion, there are a lot of young players who should be given a chance instead of bringing Ronaldo to the Allianz Arena.
