⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Franctoshi]

I am very much surprised at those that are mocking Ronaldo
for making his all right choice that will give him peace of mind and happiness and especially that will give him more money. There is nothing you can tell me about humanbeing apart from making more money even as rich As Ronaldo is he still needs more money to continue to maintain his standard and level take care of his family and extended ones .

I see no reason why Ronaldo should be criticized by some fans base on his decision to move to Al Nassr, he's a full grown adult entitled to make personal decisions which he knows will favour him and that's what he has done.

My very concern about his move to the club is only base on if he will be able to deliver on the job due to his recent poor performance in his last games played So far, So as much money is in involved there's also much expectation from him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is BANNED from making his debut tomorrow for Saudi side Al-Nassr because he still has to serve a two-game FA suspension for smashing an Everton fan's phone.His new club Al-Nassr, who are reportedly paying him £175 million a year, have sold all 28,000 seats for the match against Al Ta’ee and were set to see him kick-off his Arabian venture amid huge fanfare.
The incident has been reviewed by the FA who have Now Ronaldo has been handed with a £50,000 fine and a two-match suspension Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been hit with a £50,000 fine and a two-match ban by the FA after smashing a fan's phone earlierthis year.
Following Manchester United's defeat to Everton at Goodison Park last season,  Ronaldo appeared to slap the hand of Jacob Harding as he stormed down the tunnel, damaging the boy's phone.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11461261/Cristiano-Ronaldo-hit-50-000-fine-two-match-ban.html

Well that’s was a bad move from Ronaldo as a professional player and had no excuse to smash a very young fan’s phone no matter what the reason he had, beside that on the last update on that incident i heard some news about Ronaldo denying the whole thing and just accusing the innocent boy and his mom for at least an excuse for what he did but he made things worse and it’s good that the case went to higher authorities. Two matches suspension is deserved by him to act better next time.
The absence of Ronaldo for the first two games he will have with Al nassr team will not effect the team anyway imo. And for a new player to reach the good level and get use to the new team game player also a new champion which is a Saudi Arabia champion that Ronaldo never player before will take probably months for him.

Why criticize the condition of him who is comfortable with his choice. it's really funny because it's as if the fan wants to control which team he wants to visit.
He's now reaping quite a bit of profit and even fame for this league and has been the subject of much media talk over the past few weeks as if he's pushing himself back for the better.
Currently, as fans, they should support the decision made, not criticize it.

Manchester United are still pushing for signing Joao Felix. But their intention seems to be a loan deal for now. Their latest offer is said to be like 4 million euros. However Atletico Madrid's expectation is like three times this amount. In this case there is no way there will be an agreement between these sides. I can understand Atletico Madrid that they don't want to lose him for a small amount.

But Manchester United might lose their interest in a loan deal after this enquiry. They can actually sign him on a permanent deal if they are really serious about this.

Haters gonna be hate, Any critics would be so good as long as that was contructive. Ronaldo itself has been waiting for a month to get a new club but since he was not able to find that and ronaldo has no choice other than accepting the proposal that already sent to him by al nassr. He was getting a great welcoming ceremony from al nassr. that was also making so many people amaze about how respect his new club to him.
He has just become the most favourite player in al nassr. I heard that al hilal was also trying to take the advantage from messi as he was a rival for ronaldo.
Ronaldo was just abandoning any critics. His decision determine his life

This happened only because Arsenal do not have good players in the substitute bench. If Arsenal had good players on the bench, I think Arsenal could win the last match against Newcastle United. But obviously, that did not happen. Arsenal needs to bring in some new players so that they have better options on the bench. Otherwise, they might have to see the same thing happening which happened to them in the last match. And a coach cannot make good replacements if there are not good players who can be brought in on the field as good replacements.

At least Arsenal have tried their best to shoot at the opponent's goal and it is a pity that Arsenal were unable to penetrate the defense of Newcastle, this is very unfortunate but it is better to get a draw than to lose and reduce Arsenal's points.

I think Simeone's dislike of him this season is one of the reasons this can still happen. Only 6 out of all La Liga games has he started even though he did quite well in the games he did when given the chance but he has always been unfair in my opinion this season.
It is now reported that Joao will be seeking a loan move until the end of the season but there has been no response so far.

I think Arsenal had similar issues with Nicolas Pepe, that’s was before Arteta came in. He knew Pepe wasn’t suitable for his style of play. Since he got into the club, he’s had made the management know the kind of players that fits what he wants to practice in the club. Now they’re targeting young players that can play in multiple positions in case of injuries and change of tactics.

Like when Arsenal faced Newcastle, coach Mikel Arteta seemed confused in the second half to put other players into the attack line and that made Arsenal's game very deadlocked. Only one player entered in the second half for Tomiyasu to replace Ben White, maybe Mikel Arteta was hoping Tomiyasu could make the difference with a quick attack down the right, but that doesn't seem to work and Arsenal need to get a young player soon who can fill in some a position in the attacking department of the current transfer market.

And a coach cannot make good replacements if there are not good players who can be brought in on the field as good replacements.

Yes, this is very reasonable considering Arsenal want to maintain the top of the standings but are constrained by the lack of options for their players to meet the club's needs. One of their target players, Mykhalo Mudryk, does not seem to be moving closer to Arsenal, in fact, now the player wants to join Chelsea. In my opinion, Arsenal need refreshment in the attack line and hope that Mikel Arteta will find these new players soon.

Arsenal played well against Newcastle and we didn't get all three points not because we didn't have players that did their best, or players to sub in, but because their defense was very good and their goal keeper kept him concentration throughout the whole game.

Chelsea are trying to hijack Arsenals move for Mudryk, I don't know where you saw a statement from Mudryk that he was more interested in Chelsea now, I think it is a false statement. Mudyrk deal for Arsenal is still uncertain but Arsenal remains the best choice for him, he fits the profile, and if his club has not been demanding some more money for him, it would have been a dine deal by now.

-snip

The Gunners should have won the game vs Newcastle. it's just that their players can't convert every opportunity well and make it a goal.quite a hot match, there were a lot of fouls in last night's game and the Gunners had lots of chances. at least, they had 4 shots on target from 17 total attempted shots.

lucky for Newcastle. Newcastle's defense is very disciplined, so that Newcastle is not embarrassed by the home team. even so, it's a shame that Newcastle did not dare to play open they even tend to defend.

Anyway, at least the good news is that Arsenal are close to getting Mykhaylo Mudryk. Mundryk, has reportedly agreed personal terms with Arsenal. only one step away from bringing him to the Emirates Stadium, namely the matter of the transfer fee which has not yet found common ground with Donetsk. and what is certain, Arsenal will not only bring in Mundryk in this transfer window. it seems, there are several other players who are still on the radar and their targets are to be brought to the Emirates Stadium.

How many top teams defeated Newcastle United this season? Arsenal played them to a point they couldn’t maintain their tactics. Newcastle United is a very good team this season. They’re defensively solid and that has been their strength. If the VAR and Referee were impartial, they would have given Arsenal the penalties they didn’t checked. It was all Arsenal’s game and the win were in their face throughout the game. At least a point is better than no point.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I was thinking Chelsea will fight back to gain a position in the top by the second half of the season, but it saddens my heart that their second hope for a central attack; Armando Brodja will be out of the remaining half of the 2022/2023 season due to an ACL injury. Aubameyang is not as productive as expected and this has become a very big challenge for Graham potter's side. I Just pray he succeeds in bringing in David Fofana.

Without a doubt, Aubameyang is a high-calibre player, and he can make a difference, but it is what I have always said regarding these players, if a player who is a star, the technical director must direct his stars and team very well, it is Saying if the team plays to make a star shine can make them win many titles, you just have to remember Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, how the other players played for Messi and won many titles, then for selfish clubs where their coaches are not so good like Ten Hag who doesn't understand that, or as happened to Portugal next to Santos, it's a mirror of what shouldn't be done, I think Potter should understand that, even if he gets whoever he gets if they don't do something like that they won't stand out .

This is what a sportman like Ronaldo deserves this respect,  this welcome the world has seen how Al Nassr welcomed him with all the glitz . Ronaldo has taken a very risky step by joining Arab league but he'll definitely accept this challenge and make the most out of this opportunity . All thw world is looking out fir him

Joining Al Nassr is notvjust about money for Cristiano , he wants to test his football in a totally different world from Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo not only took a risky step when he received an offer from Al Nassr, but his decision invited many pros and cons and I even heard people say his career as a footballer was dead by leaving the European leagues. Yes, of course there will always be those who contradict this, moreover he is one of the superstars in football, so his decision is used as material for news about him, whether those who agree or disagree with the steps he is taking.

I've been watching on social networks, and the truth is I still don't understand how there are so many people who try to discredit one of the best players in the world like CR7, CR7 is already sharing with his teammates, and here in that team he is the famous goalkeeper of the Colombian team, one who was an icon of Napoli, Ospina, and believe me that a goalkeeper like him and a forward like CR7 will be very difficult for them to beat them, for now there is also the possibility that they can transfer CR7 to Newcastle , since the owner of Al Nassr also owns Newcastle, it is an ace he has up his sleeve.

Here all the details about CR7:

When will Cristiano Ronaldo make his Al-Nassr debut & what are the live stream, TV & highlights details?

Check out the possible fixture dates for Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr debut, plus details on where to stream live and watch on TV in the UK and U.S.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was officially unveiled in front of thousands of fans at Mrsool Park on January 3 after penning a two-year deal that will reportedly see him earn £173 million ($209m) a year.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has signalled his intention to make his mark in Asia by helping his new club "achieve success" and he expressed a desire to play as soon as possible.

Actually, Mudryk's rumors were originally linked to Arsenal, but with quite tough negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk, there was one club that was interested in him, namely Chelsea, even this rumor had been heard since 5 days ago and the last time its valuation rose by around 24%. Even though these two reports are still rumors and there has been no further confirmation, it seems that the two clubs can still compete for Mudryk, but again the decision lies with Mudryk and Shakhtar Donestk.

Exclusive: Chelsea official proposal for Enzo Fernández was never €120m or €127m. The final proposal made to Benfica was €85m fee. Chelsea have never discussed €120m release clause. There’s NO agreement at all after new meeting in the afternoon, as revealed earlier.
As things stand, Chelsea & Benfica have not scheduled new meeting after talks collapsed.
Rui Costa always said: €120m [clause] or no way. Chelsea verbally discussed that with Benfica then official bid was €85m. No deal.
Source: Fabrizio Romano

I think I'm the happiest Chelsea fan right now, frankly speaking that amount that was circulating all over the web of Chelsea wanting to pay for Enzo Fernandez was too much and might put Chelsea into financial crises in the sense that we wouldn't be able to buy any more players in this transfer window or the summer meanwhile we have problems at our right back due to Reece James not be available and we need a replacement as soon as possible.

€120 is too much for a player that was never under any radar in the last few years but just because of winning a world cup he's no been hype to that amount. We suddenly forgetting that the Argentina team were impressive around and when that happens it makes everybody looks good. Benfica should accept Chelsea bid of €85 as that's even too big for a player like Fernandez.

It's very selfish for a coach when what you say is true. Joao Felix hasn't had many chances so far, although I see he deserves more trust than Diego Simeone. But it seems coach Simeone's thoughts are different from what we think. There is no other choice for Joao other than he has to find a new club that can give him enough playing opportunities. So far several Premier League clubs are interested in signing him, but until now the rumours have never developed into serious talks between the two parties to get an agreement.

It seems like that simeone itself that must be sacked from atletico madrid. So far there was no improvement that happened with the club under him. I meant we must also aware with the fact that if the performance from atletico under him was getting degrade anytime. I think that simeone must be the problem in the club. Felix itself already got an offer from MU. MU was giving a very cheap offer for him and it seems like that atletico madrid was feeling dilemma right now whether the club wanna try to let him go to the another club or he will stay with atletico.
I hope that felix will be getting the best thing for him

The draw that Arsenal just got is not a bad result for Arteta's team, their failure to penetrate the Newcastle defense indicates that Arsenal must look for a striker who can act as a differentiator. A typical striker like Benzema needs to be brought in while Jesus is injured, Arsenal must move in the transfer market to maintain performance in order to maintain its position in first place in the Premier League. Arsenal are also the top team in the Europa League due to their good performances since the start of the season, Arteta needs to find a strategy to deal with teams that are more dominant in defense to continue the positive trend.

Both teams performed well in that match. since they are now in good shape. Yes, Arsenal needs a strong striker, but there were other factors at play in the Newcastle game as well. In the league, Newcastle United features some of the best defenders. Arsenal made an attempt, but they were unsuccessful.

Gabriel Jesus, a striker who can breach any defense, was injured in the match, and Arsenal really missed him.

Arsenal needs to acquire a backup striker during the January transfer window. Beneze will not fit in at Arsenal. Arsenal needs a strong striker like Napoli's Osiemeh. Arsenal needs a striker of such caliber.

[CryptoPanda]

Anyone who criticizes Ronaldo for making a move to the Al Nassr is not a fan because this is indeed a huge progress for Ronaldo. This is indeed a historical move that will go down in history. Ronaldo has achieved everything he wished to achieve in Europe and there is nothing left for him to accomplish. There’s no better time for this move. I only expect a return to Europe on managerial appointment. This will take his mind of the disastrous half season with Manchester United.

[Pokapoka124]

Ibrahima Konate has into Real Madrid radar and they will attempts to hijack him from Liverpool although Konate has long duration contract with Liverpool until 2026 but Real Madrid are taking possibilities to bought him this summer and reported Ancelotti has been talk with Madrid management and this summer he want this player will arrived at Madrid however since arrived to Liverpool on summer 2021 Konate performance has been showed good progress and with Van Dijk he can performing well on Liverpool defense so it's not easy to gets him because i am sure Liverpool wouldn't sell him easily

Ibrahim Konate is an important player and a key member of Klopp's defensive line despite not starting many games for Liverpool but he has done so well as a backup centre back been played in big games for Liverpool, I doubt Liverpool will be open to selling him to Real Madrid, he has barely played complete two seasons for Liverpool. If Liverpool sell Konate that only means they will have to sign a new centre back so I doubt Liverpool will sell Konate atleast not in this window.

[CryptoPanda]

I think the ability to sign good players is one of the most needful features of a good coach. Most coaches may figure out that a particular arm of the squad needs an overhaul but they find it difficult to get the right player to fit in. I see this to be Mikel Arteta's advantage over other England coaches. He doesn't spend too much on the transfer market yet he gets what the team requires. With Murdryk's arrival, Arsenal now has an option on how to manage Gabriel's injury while expecting mac Allister. Compared to other contenders in epl and the Europa league, I think Arsenal is more prepared for the challenge ahead

Signing a new player is pretty much the same like gambling with our luck. You can see that how chelsea was signing lukaku after it has been performing so well in intermilan but after lukaku gone back again to the chelsea and he was become useless players again. There are lots of aspects that make the players can be very beneficial to the club or not.
Arteta was lucky enough caused by he has made so many successful transfers unlike its competitor chelsea which was not so lucky in buying the new players.
It's not all about the price but it's about how good the player that can adapt with the situation in the club.

The sole purpose of signing new players is to strengthen the team and boost team performance but sometimes the factors considered before teams make signings don't fulfill the sole aim of making these purchases. Chelsea have had issue with most of their signings in recent years, now Chelsea have to be more specific and focused on criteria marked out for making their targeted signings not just signing players for the records and for jersey sales.
