⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TheGreatPython]

Many players who are not big in stature play in England but they are successful as Foden is the main player in the Manchester City squad. Thiago Alcantara who strengthens Liverpool and Antony who will shine with Mancherter United.
It is not impossible that Bellingham will become a player who will be successful if he plays in the English Premier League.

The EPL is known to be tough and difficult for new players to join to adapt, but all of this has been proven by players who joined from clubs outside England several seasons ago that this is not 100%.

I agree that the way Jude is right now, he would be good enough for premier league already next season, but also he will keep growing there as well. Lets not forget that this kid is just 19 years old. This also means he will have a chance to play 10+ years in premier league if he is good and that is going to give him some benefits as well, dude will grow and train and gain experience there and overall become a better player.

You think Ilkay was this good when he was 20? Or Silva? Not even De Bruyne was this much of a big deal at 20 if you ask me. So Jude could play with City and gain experience and become a great player for them if City actually buys him.

Ferran Torres to Barcelona was a shocking transfer to me, I didn't see it coming and until now I still wonder why Manchester city opted to sell Ferran Torres to Barcelona knowing how good he was playing for Manchester City. Too bad he is struggling for games at Barcelona, I bet he will be wishing he had stayed back and remained at Manchester city where he was getting enough game time. Good news for him, Arteta seems to be interested in Ferran Torres as a prospective replacement for Gabriel Jesus.

Ferran Torres is a precocious player, but the truth is that he was not getting enough playing time in Manchester City, back then Pep even opted to play without a striker, sending Ferran Torres way down the pecking order at City, he saw an opportunity to move to a club like Barcelona and he took it, City saw the money Barcelona were offering and they had to take it, both parties were happy. Mind you that when Ferran arrived at Barcelona, the club didn't have many of the players they have now, and he was playing regularly then, but last summer Barcelona bought quite a lot of players, including striker Lewandowski, and Ferran now has to manage a place on the bench as he mostly comes on as a substitute.

Having said that, if Arsenal are interested in him, then he could grab the opportunity and come back to the EPL, quite a lot of attackers have been linked with Arsenal this January, including Athletico Madrid's Joao Felix, i'd prefer the Portuguese sign for Arsenal rather than Ferran Torres, he is a better player imo, but the window will open soon and we'd see the new faces that would arrive at the Emirates.

I wouldn't blame him for moving though, If he wasn't getting enough playing time at Manchester City as you say then it is enough reason to accept a move away especially to an elite club like Barcelona. With the top competition in the Barcelona team a move to Arsenal would be a good move because he is likely to flourish at Arsenal and get more playing time.

If another player is going to make a top transfer, then we have to look at the defender of Croatia, Guradiol. He played a great World Cup. In the match against Argentina it may have been a bit less, but the pressure was enormous. And also only 21 years old. The midfielder of Morocco has also done well. He will also leave Angers fairly quickly for probably a strong team in Spain or perhaps England. Although English football is very physical, so I don't know if that would be the right choice. Furthermore, I have not seen many striking performances at the World Cup, so many other sensational transferers will not come.

Some, thanks to their performance at the World Cup, will only move on to other clubs in the summer, at least that is the suspicion. On the other hand, it makes sense because it's not so much unethical as uncomfortable to leave in the middle of the season. Bayern have a problem with the so called choice at the moment, more interesting how their story will end, as to them do not want to return a rented player

According to rumors here and there, the Premier League teams are pushing for Amrabat from Fiorentina after the great world cup he played.


He will probably leave in January for IMHO 30ish million.

[arallmuus]

According to rumors here and there, the Premier League teams are pushing for Amrabat from Fiorentina after the great world cup he played.

This guy was spectacular though but playing in Premier League is a whole different story. He might be great in World Cup but he might be motivated to play better because he is playing for his own country so imagine if he flops in EPL as before the World Cup, there isnt anything outstanding about him at all and he is just a completely decent player

[karabiber]

It created a great player viewing environment for the world cup transfer season. So much so that Liverpool are ready to pay a large amount of money for Enzo Fernandez. Fernandez, on the other hand, showed an effective performance for Argentina in the World Cup held in Qatar and attracted the attention of giant teams in Europe. He is applauded for the football he played in the World Cup. I think Fernandez has more than enough potential to be Argentina's greatest post Messi player. He will dominate the coming years. Liverpool certainly sees the future and has turned the money taps on for Fernandez.

I don't think Manchester City are looking for specific players. They lacked a real finisher at the forefront, and they now have it with Haaland. The rest of the positives are all well occupied anyway. I don't think they want to spend any more money on that. And they already have a decent bank at City, you would win many a league with that. But if the opportunity arises, they will still get strong players if the price is right. And often strong players are still contract bound. Maybe they want to buy Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona.

I think Manchester city do not really need any player again,except they want to replace Raheem Sterling and Zinchenko,since Gabriel Jesus has already been replaced.Manchester city is the most complete team in Premier league in my eyes,they are good in all the wings,and don't really fall shot at any position on the field.
They brought in Haaland to replace Gabriel Jesus,and ever since he was brought into the team,he has been doing well,scoring most of their goals,and he's currently topping the highest goal scorer list in the league.so if they should still look for players,maybe I don't know,but to me,I think they are very much complete.

[terrorJR]

But in this case, I think there are other considerations, Neuer's old age is an important point in this matter because indeed I still feel that at this age and with the current condition of his long-term injury, this can be used as momentum if Livakovic wants to join Bayern because regardless of anything in the end it is performance that determines whether he will perform better or not but if he does make a mistake then this will end up being a backup for Livakovic.

But according to Plettenberg on his social media accounts, internally, not everyone is really convinced that Livakovic is the perfect replacement for Neuer.
Die Roten will continue to look for a suitable replacement for Neuer as soon as possible, several names of candidates have appeared but there is currently no agreement on who to choose.
The general description of Neuer's injury is that he broke his leg while skiing on holiday after Germany failed to qualify for the 2022 world cup knockout phase he has undergone surgery and is reported to be out for the rest of the season.

Actually in this case they wouldn't really know until they tried I guess. but it is quite natural for Livakovic because apart from his slick performance in the world cup for his own league, he did come from Zagreb (if that happens), then this will definitely be doubted because in terms of competition they are below even though the HNL might be the league that good there but the comparisons are stark enough for the bundesliga so I'm not too surprised by the doubts.

The sensational transfer gonna happen when there will be a club that wanna pay high price amount for a player and i don't even think the big clubs gonna paid high price for those good performers in the world cup. they have good perform in the world cup but they were worst when they were playing in the club just like morocco's goal keeper which was playing for sevilla and his team was almost on the relegated zone. That proves that world cup can't become a good parameter to buy the new players. That's why there will be no sensational transfer to happen.
A few might make it happen but it's not all.

Agree with this because indeed the attack line at Manchester City has actually been filled at the moment. Not only Haaland but there is also Alvarez who, although now he is only a rotational player but I think this player is also very good and promising so why do they add more positions in this case but it is indeed a possibility for the defense maybe they will start looking for someone new although for now it is not really necessary.

[Velvet78]

He is not good enough for United he may be hyped around all because of that three goals he scored

Man United need a better player than that, Martial is good United should pray and hope he shines with the new week and second round of the Premier League.

Goncalo Ramos is hyped he will not leave up to the amount and score as many goals, Ten Hag is a good Coach what I know is he will make the right introduction for sure.

Actually he isn't all about that hat-trick at Portugal. It has helped him to be realized by more teams indeed. However he was already a good performing player before the World Cup as well. He has scored 14 goals and made 6 assists in 21 games so far at Benfica. He is the current top scorer in the Liga Portugal.

I think he is a promising striker now. His market value is only 24 million euros for now. This might be seen as an opportunity for some teams including the Red Devils to make a move for him soon. But I don't know how eager Benfica would be to sell him.

Manchester city investment predicted going stuck as they are looking for a shortest ROI , buying and selling players went successfully profitable for them at the monent they might continue it but no more spending huge money on a single player , they have spent billion in players under guardiola himself.

A champions league win could end the syeikh mansour era in city crazy transfer window as they have acquired the main goal.

Indeed, if City win Champions League, some changes in the club might occur.
For the moment, City will take a good reward from FIFA for the participation of their 16 players in World Cup. They are planning to enlarge their stadium to get over 60k spectators and adding some commodities there.
Otherwise, I read that Haaland father's said that his son might leave City in a year or two since he might want to play in several clubs / leagues!

But in reality Manchester City only depends on Erling Haaland who has the nickname Walking Robot because indeed Erling Haalang's expertise when on the field is able to control the ball and control the ball quickly and if there is no full supervision then Erling Haaland will score many goals, the defense of each team is indeed there will always be the potential to be penetrated by opponents, all that needs to be done is good teamwork to strengthen the defense.

...
The midfielder of Morocco has also done well. He will also leave Angers fairly quickly for probably a strong team in Spain or perhaps England. Although English football is very physical, so I don't know if that would be the right choice. Furthermore, I have not seen many striking performances at the World Cup, so many other sensational transferers will not come.

Izzeddin Unahi performed well in the France match, but I really liked Sofyan Amrabat's tournament performance. I likened him to Patrick Viera. Sofyan Amrabat is a determined and strong football player like Patrick Viera. He has the qualifications to play in the English Premier League without hesitation.

...
Maybe he had big problems against Messi but I'm seeing it normal.  ;D  Gvardiol is still very young for a centre-back but he is showing how big potential he has now. He is a fearless centre-back who likes to support the attacks by carrying the ball to the midfield as well.
...

Oh yes, that position! In that position, 20 million euros of Gvardiol's transfer fee was vaporized. He had an estimated cost of 100 million euros before the match, after that position his estimated cost was reduced to 80 million euros. :)

I don't think that position is anything important. Anyone in his place would have had the same problems. Opposite him was a madman who was determined to go to the final. :)

I actually think that Ronaldo CR7 being in Real Madrid training ground today will mean something in coming future. At this point , I'm sure that Ronaldo will accept being on the bench for Real Madrid as if I were Ancelotti and I had to chose between Hazaard and Cr7 , I would go with Cr7 to be my prime substitute. Nevertheless , Florentino Perez seems very open to let Ronaldo training as long as he needs so that's maybe another hint that he will be officially with Real until summer.

If I'm not mistaken in the news from a few months ago, Real Madrid's management doesn't need a player like Cristiano Ronaldo because he is old and his performance has decreased a lot but is it possible to recall Cristiano Ronaldo out of pity? considering that Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of services for Real Madrid, it might happen if that's the case, seeing Ronaldo back training with the Real Madrid kids.
I think Ronaldo still has a positive effect on encouraging his friends with the passion he has Florentino Perez probably decided to make Ronaldo a motivator in the team even though he was given less time to play and more on the bench.

https://amp.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2022/12/14/639a070bca47418a1e8b45bc.html

So apparently Cristiano Ronaldo has requested to train in the Real Madrid training, ground himself. Still, no link has been found between him moving to Real Madrid. He was also training far away from the main squad. So far, this is just an attempt from him to stay in shape apparently. I know that Real Madrid does not need someone like him right now. But who knows maybe that decision from Real Madrid might change! And this is very recent news.

As far as I can remember Goncalo Ramos made two appearances for Portugal in the 2022 world cup and against Switzerland he scored the hat trick. Actually I don't know much about this player, but according to the statistics you gave he seems very good as a striker.

This market value should not be expensive for several big clubs if they want to bring him in later, especially now that Manchester United also need a striker, he has friends from Portugal like Bruno Fernandes and Diego Dalot of course that will make it easier for him to adapt, but if it's true it looks like the red devil will be interested in him later in the transfer market.

haaland is a striker who is very unpredictable in the EPL this season, he is still the top scorer in the league, so it's no wonder why haaland has other big ambitions to be able to play at a big club besides man city, some time ago haaland was linked with real madrid, but Madrid dismissed the news because it looks like Madrid is still very ambitious with Mbappe ^{(although madrid continues to avoid admitting that)}

The lack of training equipment he talked about mist have been part of the issue
It is good thing he has good relationship with the world biggest club
Chelsea are starting to talk about his arrival

[Minecache]

It looks like Ten Hag after the departure of Ronaldo found a new victim who will blame all the failures in the club - this is Sancho.
He sent him to train on an individual program, as Sancho's physical form is allegedly very bad and he needs a reboot. Maybe I'm wrong, but Ten Hag continues to inflame the situation in the team and it will end in a global conflict.

Still not okay with the treatment as I consider it not fair, could be for the player's benefits, we'll see how this separate training works with Sancho, if he improves or definitely get worst, that might see him leaving the club or sitting more on the bench.
Erik Ten Hag wanting Cody Gakpo send another message to my head, guess y'all know what that means for Sancho already, he's got nowhere in the starting eleven.

But if this works fir the growth and increase of Manchester United in the Premier League and Champions League football, I'm down backing and supporting the management with the action.

The thing is as long as he can bring in the results that everyone wants, the positive results, players saying something should not cause any problems. If he is bringing in good results, he is going to bring them regardless of whether the player being on the team or not. But he will have to make sure that he brings in good results. Otherwise, his stay in Manchester United as a coach is also going to be short-lived.

Actually, Manchester United will have to fix all these things between the management and players. That is if they want to be successful at least. Because if the players are not happy in the team, they are not going to play well. That will eventually hurt the team.
