⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Will Barcelona still be able to make player transfers in January?

With the current condition from the barcelona's financial and im feeling doubt barcelona will able to buy lots of players. As far as i know that if barcelona was not only aiming for two players but six players being targeted by barcelona in january.
Barcelona was trying to get more funds by creating new sponsorship and extending the sponsorship that will expire very soon. Barcelona was always selling the players at loss. This club rarely making profit from doing activities in the transfer market.
I doubt that if all of players who targeted by barcelona will be able to be bought by the club. Barcelona has lost potential income from champion league. I remember when barcelona wants to sign free transfer players only

Barcelona can still bring in players in the transfer market with a note that they have to sell several players to balance the club's income and expenses. The arrival of new players is still needed by Barcelona, but with the financial crisis that is currently befalling the club, Barcelona must carry out its transfer policy properly.
Barcelona's main squad is already very solid, they only need one or two new players in the transfer market. In addition, Barcelona must open the exit door for several players who rarely get minutes to play to cut a number of expenses that can ease the club's burden.

But we continue to try to convince Amrabat that Liverpool is the right choice ...

I wonder why Arsenal are not fighting to sign him too considering how prone to injury Partey is and how we cannot rely on Sambi to do the job. Amrabat is about the right age for the team, Just 26years of age, he can reduce the game time for Partey who is 29years of, reducing his game time will also reduce his frequency of getting injured.  I think Arteta and Edu need to get to the race too and consider him as they look to sign a winger and a center forward.

Apart from Partey, Arteta may still have Xhaka, Elneny and Sambi Lokonga in the defensive midfield position so his focus is on players in attacking positions. It is also possible that Arsenal have approached Amrabat but secretly so that the media does not publish to the public like other clubs.
If Liverpool want to get it because there are not many players in the DM position so the option when there are injured players like Henderson and Thiago then the focus is only on Fabinho.

Apart from Amrabat's ability that has been seen while defending Morocco, Liverpool's efforts to bring him to Anfield because there is not much money to be spent at a cost of around £30million. If this materializes, then the process of bringing Sofyan Amrabat is the same as when bringing Thiago from Bayern Munich.

I think Manchester City does a good job. Because they rely on Erling Haaland only for goals. The others supply the ball to him and he is trusted to do the finishing job. And he’s doing the job quite well. I think Manchester City have excellent teamwork. The problem is that during certain matches they are not being able to perform as they should. Just like the match against Liverpool. Liverpool was not in very good shape, but Manchester City still lost against Liverpool.

I also agree that Erling Haaland is the most successful or at least one of the most successful transfers that Manchester City have made recently. At least this is far better compared to what they did when they brought in Jack Grealish for 100 million.

Manchester are a good team far better with Guardiola as the manager. I think they are doing a really good job putting together are very sophisticated and strong team in the English league. Erling Haaland's introduction has also strengthened their attack even more as he gives them that confidence and sharpness going forward which he executes so well. When the money is there it is easier to put the team to preferred standard to compete at all levels and win trophies.

I read last month that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Nkunku on a deal to join the Blues, with fees all agreed including medical completed. This is a very good signing for Chelsea and I can now see that the new owner has a project in sight and a standard in which he wants the club to be playing on which is very impressive. Surely Chelsea will have a much better attack with Nkunku, Rahim Sterling and Zakaria. The new owner has good plans for the club.

I didn't see Hakim Ziyech in your mention even with all his incredible performance at the world cup which same sterling I saw you mentioning didn't have any impact in the world cup. Just like you, the manager needs to start tapping from the incredible skills and play of Hakim Ziyech, we're killing a player here by not playing him and if Chelsea let this one go just as we have done to future stars in the past, it's going to be a lost that we would regret in the future. Hakim isn't that young neither has he gone passed his prime.

In regards to the strengthening of the attack, I think Chelsea should push more for Rafael Leao, he'll be vital at the right instead of sterling, with Rafael leap at the right and Ziyech at the left with James and Cucurella both playing wingback, I think Chelsea has a strong attack that can create chances for our goals. I believe after the January transfer window, Chelsea attack will be back in form.

Oops I did, didn’t I? Hakim Ziyech was one of the standout players in the tournament this year, he did put his heart and everything into this tournament and helped his country go as far as the semi finals in this world cup so he deserves praises for his immerse effort in the team. He shut critics and shown that he is still able to perform at top level and deserves a chance again at chelsea which at this junction I expect to be given to him when the league resumes.

For his position at Chelsea, the most ideal is a striker, considering that Chelsea doesn't have a striker who is dangerous at the moment, choosing Nkunku is the right choice for Graham Potter.

Actually, Chelsea has a strong striker, Aubameyang. Unfortunately, Aubameyang seems hard to show his best in Chelsea, he experienced a difficult adaptation to Chelsea tactic. That's why Chelsea needs another quality striker, Chelsea needs a striker who fits with Chelsea game style. Having Nkunku in the squad will make Potter to have more options/alternatives in Chelsea attacking line. He can play with 2 strikers (Nkunku-Aubameyang), or choose Nkunku as a the striker if Aubameyang can't play effectively.

Every coach should have a fairly broad view like Graham Potter, he buys players who can fill in several positions and not just one position, so when the match feels difficult he can set a strategy by entering players who can fill these various positions and Nkunku is the best option so far, but I don't think chelsea will be satisfied with just one player, they will definitely buy more players in the future.

[W Jr.]

I still can't believe that he is not moving to Al-Nassr, those guys offered him 500 million euro for 2.5 years, that is 200 million a year, how could anyone reject that? I get that he likes his freedom and being in Al-Nassr would mean that he would have to follow their culture or it would be a big trouble for him, all of which means even his family would be pressured into living the way they live unless they want risk, so that type of thing is a scary thing or could be at least and I understand that.

However, we are talking about FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS! that is good enough to literally do whatever you are told to do, just way too much money to reject.

I saw that Cristiano Ronaldo did not care about money, rejecting this offer. While it was almost impossible for a football player to earn that money, it was unthinkable for Cristiano, who did not accept the best deal of his career even at the end of his career. No football player could easily refuse this. An incredible offer. 500 Million Euros. I can't even imagine the size of the money. For a moment I thought I wished he had accepted.

it is difficult to get players who can play in several positions at this time so when Chelsea managed to bring in Nkunku of course it was a fortune, being able to play in various positions would certainly make it very easy for the Graham Potter to formulate the right strategy for Chelsea game, the arrival of Nkunku I think will be able to replace the position who was left by Lukaku or maybe Potter will prefer to play Nkunku in a midfield position later, while playing at Leipzig Nkunku has played a very important role and I think next summer he will give the same thing to Chelsea later.

I have a feeling Manchester City are much more interested in winning the Champions League this time. That's why I believe they are a few points behind in the English Premier League table. Honestly, they are not that much behind because the point difference between them and Arsenal is not that much. I predict Arsenal will lose a few matches and Manchester City will be able to catch up with Arsenal during that period of time.

You know, Arsenal has a few tough matches coming up, especially against Tottenham and Manchester United. I suspect Arsenal is going to drop points in those matches. And that is going to be the chance for Manchester City to get back to the first position on the table.

You know, the Premier League Trophy is just as important as the Champions League Trophy. and that also applies to Manchester City, even though they always target to win the Champions League trophy. the real fact is, Manchester City slipped in two matches out of 14 matches. they have two draws, and 2 defeats against Liverpool and Brenford. and I guess, not something on purpose.  because of that, Arsenal was able to keep their distance from The Citizen.

In short, Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League standings even though it is only 5 points adrift with Manchester City. not something that is difficult for City to overtake, because after all the Premier League schedule still has a lot of matches. moreover, currently the Gunners are in trouble. The loss of a central striker meant that Arteta had to move quickly to find a ready replacement in Grabriel Jesus' position. I am still optimistic, if Arteta brings in a suitable newcomer this January. Arsenal still have a big chance of winning the Premier League trophy.

The champions league has eluded Manchester City for long. They have won the premier league four times in just 5 years and currently the defending champions. They have pretty much dominated the epl, they have their eyes set on the champions league trophy as well as the premier league trophy this year. The only competition they have in the EPL right now is Arsenal. Arteta will have to bring in new signings to strengthen the team for them to maintain the number 1 position in the epl. I think Arsenal have been extraordinary this season and their fans will be hoping to win the premier league or the Europa league.

Barcelona may able to sell some players but im not sure if barcelona will be getting lots of funds from selling some of its players. Barcelona has a very bad history in the football business and that's the reason why this club has so many debt compared with its competitor real madrid. Barcelona was alwasy buying new player with high price but the team will always be selling with the cheapest price. That makes me feel doubt if barcelona can get fresh fund from selling the players.
Remember that some players will be leaving the club in the free transfer status. I thought that if barcelona may not able to buy lots of players again in january

Are you kidding me ?! LOL ..... I don't know why I find it funny that you settle for less and player's who must have lost them forms. Damnit, did I just write they must have lost them form ? They're completely dead player's and should leave Arsenal with immediate effect.
Sambi Lokonga ? Elneny ? Laughable. Of them all, Granit Chaka is the only better player amd currently plays an advance role for Arsenal.

If Arsenal eventually qualifies for the FIFA World Cup, having both Partey and Amrabat would make lots to of sense.
Liverpool already have Fabinho, someone tell me they're already planning for his exit, hmmm ?

But then, since Naby Keita and Chamberlain would be out that gives them an energetic and energized player to back Thiago Alcantara, Henderson, and Jude Bellingham just if he'll switch to the red's in the future.

Cristiano just denying the rumor about he is going to sign for alnassr.

It doesnt mean he reject the offer though , just to cooling down the transfer rumor about him so he will have a lot of offers coming to him to pick , about cristiano recently at real madrid training ground ... it was cristiano asking for permission to florentino perez to use the traing facility along with his son after the worldcup , nothing agreed yet with any club he still free to sign!

the world cup is over, Ronaldo will get a club. For the moment he's training in Madrid to keep fit, and I don't think he will accept club from Arab he wants a completive club as a Goat he is. But if Madrid bid for him it's cool for him.

Some Chelsea players have a flexible position, such as Kai Havertz, who can play as a striker or second striker, but it seems that Nkunku here will be paired up front with Armando Broja, we know that Aubameyang's return to Chelsea will only put him on the bench. So whatever strategy graham potter will concoct, we should wait later, the opening match for Chelsea will only be presented on December 28 against Bournemouth and after that match there will be a transfer market next year, of course graham potter will be hunting for defenders this time.

No football player could easily refuse this. An incredible offer. 500 Million Euros. I can't even imagine the size of the money. For a moment I thought I wished he had accepted.

between money and a career where if ronaldo accepts an offer from al nassr then he will be the footballer with the highest salary. For now there is no certainty about the answer from Cristiano Ronaldo whether he will reject or accept the offer from Al Nassr. If we judge Ronaldo, he is already at the end of his football career because he is old and his physique on the field is not as strong as before. So I agree with you he could take a lot of money over the next few seasons before he decides to retire. other players rarely get this fantastic offer so I think Ronaldo will consider this offer before he gives an answer.

The transfer market is getting closer, the big EPL teams are moving faster come near to the players they are targeting in January, Arsenal and Manchester United will be too busy looking for players in the transfer market this season because they need new players to strengthen team.

I think you are too exaggerated to link Ronaldo's family who must follow the custom there. After all, there are many choices for Ronaldo if you only understand the way of life and the style of the people there. Too narrow to relate trivial things, so this is Ronaldo and he is not following the amount of money or luxury things that are offered by Al-Nassr. So far what he believes is that it is still ideal to play in a European club and while that is still possible then there is no option for Al-Nassr in his mind.

[Woodie]

I still can't believe that he is not moving to Al-Nassr, those guys offered him 500 million euro for 2.5 years, that is 200 million a year, how could anyone reject that?

We can't understand Cristiano at times but if he rejected this move then probably its not about the money any more... Maybe the man still wants some silverware in his trophy room to leave his mark and is hoping for a match more competitive league than Saudi Arabia.

I get that he likes his freedom and being in Al-Nassr would mean that he would have to follow their culture or it would be a big trouble for him, all of which means even his family would be pressured into living the way they live unless they want risk, so that type of thing is a scary thing or could be at least and I understand that.

Very valid point, and having to adapt to a new culture is a big ask tbh and these guys do follow their rules to the latter and Cristiano might not want to risk his freedom.

However, we are talking about FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS! that is good enough to literally do whatever you are told to do, just way too much money to reject.

His been in the business for quite a while and made his money and btw I thinking moving this side he might miss out on several sponsorship deals which might have contributed to not moving to this club... besides this 500mil isn't free money he has to put in the work.

There's no latest news whether ronaldo will get a new club or not. I meant look at how so many clubs were still rejecting him again and again. Jorge mendes as his agent was also feeling headache with his decision to leave from MU.
Mendes has been trying so hard to get a new club for him but since ronaldo was an old player and none of club interested with him. I hope that ronaldo will try to consider play for al nassr rather than he was not getting any club until the end of transfer season.
It seems like that ronaldo has been using al nassr as backup once he will not able to get a professional club until the end of january. Ronaldo was also getting so many blame from messi fan.

The customs and religious orientation of the society is very important when considering a club or country to play for. Some player become frustrated when the cannot cope with the values and beliefs of some societies. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic nation that forbids so many things that is legal in Europe and America. Most of these footballers like clubbing and other social activities that is perceived as anti-Islamic behavior.

His family might not enjoy the freedom they enjoy in other parts of the world while staying in Saudi Arabia. But he might decide to keep his family in Europe while he remains in Al-Nassr, because he can afford to fly frequently to any part of the world to visit his family anytime. I dont also think that considering his current level of performance, Ronaldo might be able to get a full and guaranteed first team football in any top flight team in Europe. He should consider moving to Al-Nassr and make more money that can enable him to own a club.

I think it is time for Arsenal to recruit some top-tier players as for the past few seasons, they have been heavily relying on medium players in my opinion.
Yes, I have to say that Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny are decent players but I do not think that they are enough for Arsenal to win the league.
As a result, I think Sofyan Amrabat could be a good addition to the squad.

And if we talk about Liverpool I think they have a decent midfield but I think another addition could be great for them as squad depth is very much needed in order to do good in the league in the longer run.

Since the arrival of Antonio Conte on November 18th, Tottenham Hotspur has displayed a shocking performance this season. I think they could end up in the top four at the end of this season. But It could be difficult for the club to keep the fire burning if their key man (harry Kane) doesn't have a well-to-do backup before the remaining half of the season begins, seeing that he features in all their matches. It will be a good thing if they could confirm the signing of Zaha on a free transfer or Mac Allister, as reported by the media.

Tottenham already have Harry Kane, Richarlison and Son Heung min for forward lines so if Zaha left Crystal Palace and moved to Tottenham i don't think he will be first choice for Tottenham because Conte will more likely to playing these players as starting lineup than Zaha unless Zaha are willing to spend his time on the bench so probably he will accept Tottenham offers
And for Mac Allister because he performing well in Brighton that's why Argentina manager was decide to used him to defend Argentina and apparently Lionel Scaloni has made right decision because Mac Allister has successfully to bringing Argentina to gets world cup trophy and indeed Tottenham management was allowed Conte to bought Mac Allister from Brighton but that's won't be easy considering Tottenham have to compete with several clubs such as Inter Milan to gets him
