⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[crunck]

It is rumored that Erik ten Hag wants Wout Weghorst. He didn't have a good season at Burnley. He does not have a successful Premier League adventure. But since Erik Teen Hag made very accurate transfers, it is said that the managers of Manchester United trust him and they can sign the player he wants. I think they will solve the center forward problem with Wout Weghorst. Especially when the game is jammed, he can enter the game later and turn many matches thanks to his dominance in head shots. Erik ten Hag sees and trusts Wout Weghorst as an effective weapon in my opinion.

Erik ten Hag needs an additional striker to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, Weghorst was brought in on loan to navigate the 2022/2023 season. Weghorst was deemed unsuitable for Manchester United because he was unable to compete in Burnley main squad. The club's spending budget is so thin that Ten Hag has to find a solution in attack, Manchester United is in the process of changing ownership of the club which makes Ten Hag movements very limited in choosing the players he wants to bring in.
Previously Ten Hag had said he only wanted to bring good players to Old Trafford to strengthen the Manchester United squad. The agreement that occurred with Burnley for Weghorst transfer was not very effective, Weghorst was not a top player, especially since he would occupy the position left by Ronaldo. I think it will be a frantic transfer for Manchester United after several names failed to land.

The current situation at Ten Hag is that the team needs a lethal striker. As far as I can tell, he is targeting strikers like Joao Felix and Weghorst, who aren't clinical and lethal strikers, who are as far as I am concerned are not capable of providing an adequate service. In the long run, this might prove to be detrimental to them. In my opinion, they should really scout out some good strikers and look into the possibility of signing them.

Former Wales, Tottenham and Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has retired from professional football aged 33.
Bale said: "After careful and thoughtful consideration, I announce my immediate retirement from club and international football.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/09/gareth-bale-former-real-madrid-forward-retires-from-football-aged-33.html
Gareth Bale has announced that he is retiring from football. He is only 33 years old yet. Even if he didn't play in the top leagues, I think he could continue to play football in other leagues. I think everyone agrees with me that he left football a little early. Especially when I look at stars like Ronaldo and İbrahimovic, I definitely think he left football early. His career has seen many ups and downs but he will be remembered for his three goals against Inter in the Champions League while he was playing for Tottenham.

There is no doubt that this is a very sad decision made by Gareth Bale. The player was at the peak of his performance when he was at Real Madrid, but injuries caused him to suffer a lot for a short time. As well as providing assistance to his international career, he has also contributed significantly to Real Madrid's success. The stats that he has in his career will allow you to conclude that he is one of the most decorated players in the history of Real Madrid.

Yes, I agree Manchester united team needs a good striker, it must have continuity. Al-Nasr removed Vincent Aboubakar, who was a good striker, from the team because of the foreign quota, this player's name was mentioned with Manchester united, I came across it very often in the news. I think Vincent Aboubakar is a striker with the capacity to score against the Manchester united forward in any circumstance. This transfer will be enough for halftime, I think it can be a good try for half season.

I think Manchester United should find someone who will be good for the team for a longer period of time. And someone who is not going to be a coin toss for Manchester United. They should get someone who will actually be reliable for the team. By bringing a player into the striker position, Manchester United will have to make sure that they are getting what they want from that player. Now, if they bring in someone who is not performing well right now, they cannot complain later, because it was their choice to bring in someone like that, and not someone who is currently in good form.

Manchester united needs a good striker that can Replace Ronaldo. I'm very sure ten Hag is good in bringing players that is full of much quality .if Manchester United decides to sign on Vincent Aboubakar I don't think it will be bad for the club,  Vincent still has some good qualities.

Transfer rumors have come from EPL players. The Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is reportedly set to join Aston Villa in this transfer market. Although it is still unclear, it seems that Aston Villa really wants the services of this 29-year-old player, we know that his declining performance at the Red Devils has made him always on the bench by Erik ten Hag. What do you think, will Harry Maguire stay or move to Aston Villa?

The last few seasons have not gone well for Maguire at Manchester United and in fact he has received criticism more often than praise so it is better for him to leave especially with Varane and Martinez now his position has been replaced from Manchester United but on the other hand this is also a failure for Manchester United because we know how expensive Maguire was when he was signed before.

[emrecemsan]

According to Bild, Newcastle are interested in a summer move for Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby now.

https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/bayer-leverkusen/bayer-leverkusen-schnellster-liga-spieler-im-glueck-moussa-diaby-ist-wieder-papa-82466310.bild.html

He is naturally a left winger but he has played on the right wing nearly all the time so far in the season. He has had really impressive stats there as well - 16 matches; 8 goals, 3 assists. He is a really skilled youngster (23 years old) and this would be a good move for Newcastle indeed. His contract expires in 2025. After this news Leverkusen might try to extend with him but I don't think Diaby would rush anything for now. I think he would like to listen to a serious offer by Newcastle especially while Newcastle are doing a great work these days.

What do you think, will Harry Maguire stay or move to Aston Villa?

If it is valid news, Man United players should be very happy. 
Harry Maguire has made so much trouble since he came to Man United, he also rarely played now. So, Man United actually doesn't need Harry Maguire anymore, they have strong Center Backs now (Varane-Martinez). For Harry Maguire, moving to Aston Villa will be good for his career. I am sure he will play regularly there, he won't sit on the bench anymore.

[CryptoPanda]

Yeah there was a sudden spark of this rumor but Fabrizio Romano tweet said that there is no talks ongoing between the club for the defender : https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1612170873204772865 . It would have been well for United if happened in my opinion, but ten Haag feel that he is important to the squad. Although he has fallen out of his favour for first team lineup but he still thinks he can make into top level if he tries and improves. Well, lets see.

Then the possibility of moving from Manchester United is very small for Harry Maguire. But it's true that Erik ten hag still needs him in the Red Devils squad, but the problem is that as you said there are some main players who don't like him. Apart from that even though he is on the bench, when Erik ten hag needs him he is also willing to enter the field. However, if Harry Maguire suddenly wants to leave Manchester United, it seems that this is also quite good for his future career.

Maguire is a player for England's main national team and it's been a while since every English player has always been the priority at Manchester United. But the arrival of Erik Ten Hag was considered brave so not a few of Maguire's matches were postponed. In contrast to other coaches, before Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United, Maguire performed poorly and was always used as the main player. So I saw a firmness in Erik Ten Hag, he really controlled Manchester United for the sake of mutuality. Moreover, even if Maguire leaves, I don't think it will have too much impact on the stability of Manchester United's game.

Harry Maguire has been a key player for Manchester United for some seasons now, guarding the defense line until last season when he started experiencing what I will describe as one of the worst times in his career. He has been a topic of ridicle for been prone to mistakes which resulted to sitting on the bench for most of the games since October. I still wonder how he manages to put up good performances for the English national team and flop at United, I'm not sure if they will retain Maguire or not but for what it is, it wouldn't affect the team if he leaves.

I have read about Bale's interest in golf in more than two blogs and this is also a confirmation of it. I also heard that most times golf used to interfer in his career when he will  chose playing golf over training. I really doubted that report and now you said it again whether as a joke or not, it really shows that Bale has love for golf more than football
[/quote]
More than Madrid to be exact
[img width=300]https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/17/blob675837c4922c047d.jpeg[/img]

However he explained that it was a joke after Madrid's legend Mijatovic blamed him for too much playing golf. But still it was just not the right timing for that joke since he was playing poor for Madrid at that time. Though only childish fans who don't consider him as Madrid's legend. He really deserves it along with other legends such as Casillas and Xabi Alonso.


[quote author=Swordsoffreedom link=topic=1877785.msg61569445#msg61569445 date=1673294567]
It goes without saying that no one will ever forget the legendary goal that he scored against Barcelona during his career. There is no one I am aware of who has such a type of heat map. There was no doubt that he was a legendary player. In my opinion, if he had not been injured, he could have played for a longer period of time.

While he was in his prime, he was one of the most dangerous men his opponents faced. To be honest, it is not very surprising that he has decided to retire from football. As we look back on the last few years, especially in light of what has been happening to him, it is easy to understand why.
[/quote]
Cant disagree on that, it's all started when he got injured. I actually didn't hope much on him after his ankle injury on 2016 but somehow he rose and score sick goals in 2018 UCL Final. In the next year, Ronaldo left to Juventus and I was very sure that was a perfect moment for him to lead the team, but another injury hit again and he didn't play better since then.

[SatoPrincess]

He is not even getting that regular spot so far. Its either Martial up front with Rashford playing behind him or Rashford up front followed by 3 attacking midfielders. So far, the last news was that they are still targeting Cody Gakpo though but I dont think they'll going to be able to sign him and there isnt that many options left for January transfer

Cody Gakpo signed for Liverpool already, he had his debut this week in the cup vs Wolves - so no way he'll sign for United anytime soon.
The transfer was worth a bit less than 40 million Euros, so a great piece of business by LFC - at least at first glance.

It is rumored that Erik ten Hag wants Wout Weghorst. He didn't have a good season at Burnley. He does not have a successful Premier League adventure. But since Erik Teen Hag made very accurate transfers, it is said that the managers of Manchester United trust him and they can sign the player he wants. I think they will solve the center forward problem with Wout Weghorst. Especially when the game is jammed, he can enter the game later and turn many matches thanks to his dominance in head shots. Erik ten Hag sees and trusts Wout Weghorst as an effective weapon in my opinion.

Weghorst who has played in the Premier League for quite some time with Burnley and wasn't successful there. Probably Erik Ten Hag sees potential in him that we don't see and maybe he is convinced that he will be able to coach him and bring out the best in him if he eventually signs for Manchester United. For the level of trust Ten Hag has in the player we should also give him benefit of a doubt that he can make the situation good with Weghorst.

[S A KHAIR]

Wout Weghorst is like he has discovered his skills once again after joining Besiktas on loan. He is very productive by not only scoring goals but also making assists. 8 goals and 4 assists are pretty impressive statistics in 16 games in the Turkish Super League. Of course he isn't playing at a level even near the Premier League's now. But it is still good for him because this is increasing his self-confidence once again. Because he wasn't a bad striker in the past also.

His times with Wolfsburg are still in my mind. Especially the 2020/21 season in the Bundesliga was amazing for him as he was the third most scorer with 20 goals. Burnley wasn't the right place for him and let's see how he will perform at Manchester United if he goes there. This transfer would push Rashford and Martial to play better also I guess.

Wout Weghorst is playing well. He is currently being able to show good performance. But I think we have to remember that this is the Turkish league. And probably as soon as he gets back to the English Premier League, he will start performing somewhat badly once again.

So, I think it will be a bad decision to start thinking that just because he’s performing well in that Turkish league, he will be able to perform well in the English Premier League as well.

There's a sad news Hugo Lloris announce his retirement on international football career, so he wouldn't play for France anymore. At least he already feel become a world cup champion on 2018, although it just need one step more to become back to back champion on the previous year world cup. Well it seems Lloris is still playing for Tottenham, but I think his performance will constantly dropped since he's wouldn't trying very hard like before.

France seems already have Lloris replacement, it's Areola aka West Ham's goalkeeper. While Tottenham need to hurry up to find a good replacement since currently the other goalkeepers are have poor performance.

Instead of become the most important player in the club and meguire has been destroying his own club since he was moving to the MU. So many MU fans were feeling disappointed once he will be playing for MU. Mostly of MU fans didn't like him. That's what you have called that as a key players for MU. Meguire got so many fans who hatred him. The best choice for him move from united as united didn't need him anymore.
He just like a burden for MU. Ten haag has been taking the right decision by try to sell him as soon as possible.

According to a Spanish online news Chelsea had agreed a verbal agreement to sign Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid despite offers from Arsenal and Man Utd, I think Chelsea needed the service of the youngstar at this point in time when majority of their key players are injured, Joao Felix is a very talented player who plays No 10 position very well thus brings more options for Graham Potter side and a good move by the club to build a future formidable team with the present young players in their squad provided that club owner Boehly gives Graham Potter more time to rebuild the club.

Chelsea has lost several their forward players because of injured and with the arrival of Joao Felix this might be can solved their issue and before this news Joao Felix was rumoured and linked to Manchester United even he almost reached an agreement moved to Manchester United at that time and a bit surprised if Felix has decide to choose Chelsea instead of Manchester United and it say Chelsea have to spend 10 million euro as loan fee and he will be at Chelsea until end of this season and actually Ten Hag really interested to this player but i was wondering about his feeling now after Chelsea hijack Felix and first Cody Gakpo and now Joao Felix that Manchester United has been lost 2 target players this January

[Avirunes]

[...] I'm not sure if they will retain Maguire or not but for what it is, it wouldn't affect the team if he leaves.

Yeah exactly, wouldn't affect the team even if he leaves. But ten Haag feels like he can make use of Maguire or maybe Maguire still has potential to perform at top level. Well given his performances so far he has given reasons to doubt him only. Anyway seems like he won't be leaving United anytime soon so let's see if we can see him performing a top performance for United in next games.

Despite previous transfer interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea are now set to clinch a loan deal. I think the challenge was with the loan fee and taking of of his wages for the 6months loan. Atletico Madrid are looking to release a hefty wage from their salary bill in the second half of the campaign, to potentially allow Felix to rediscover his spark, without losing him permanently. Honestly it does look like a good addition for Chelsea. He will improve the team significantly. For the meantime it’ll find a solution to their injury prone players.

How sad is this new one? I'm not sure how you people feel about the sad news of retirement. Did you wish he would keep playing? Lloris has been France's top goalkeeper for many years and has won a world cup with his nation. Because of his advanced age, he believes he can no longer mix club and international play. Because France helped him realize his dream of winning the world cup, he has earned the right to take a break from international competition.

It's an honor for Lloris and France, and not a sad development, please, because France already has good goalkeepers.

Former Wales, Tottenham and Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has retired from professional football aged 33.
Bale said: "After careful and thoughtful consideration, I announce my immediate retirement from club and international football.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/09/gareth-bale-former-real-madrid-forward-retires-from-football-aged-33.html

Gareth Bale has announced that he is retiring from football. He is only 33 years old yet. Even if he didn't play in the top leagues, I think he could continue to play football in other leagues. I think everyone agrees with me that he left football a little early. Especially when I look at stars like Ronaldo and İbrahimovic, I definitely think he left football early. His career has seen many ups and downs but he will be remembered for his three goals against Inter in the Champions League while he was playing for Tottenham.

It was unexpected to hear Gareth Bales will be retiring so early in his career, although it is understandable, at this stage of his career he is not getting the kind of play time as he would have wished for and probably he has decided to embark on a journey with a different career other than football, he’s decided to hang the boots now to pursue his plans and other endeavors. I wish him all the best, he has impacted positively to the game.

When the news about Bale's retirement was flying I thought he retired from international football which could be after non excellent world cup outing.
It was when I paid much attention that I understood that he retired in football I total.
I am not pleased with that when player like Iniesta is till playing football.
Bale would have chosen another club to pay for more 3yrs before retirement.

Same here I also thought he was retiring from international football only to be hit with the news he was retiring from professional football, it is still a shock to me at age 33 most players are still playing for top clubs and still keeping good performances and form for their various teams. We can only wish him all the best in whatever journey he takes on from here.

After the noise of Ronaldo move to AL-Nassr, Funny news I have read today. Al-Hilal, the historical enemy of Al-Nassr are preparing an offer for Messi to play for them after he ends his contract with PSG, the news was puplished in the most popular source for football news in Arabic language Kooora, and it said that the offer will probably be higher than Ronaldo's offer. I don't know what these people are trying to do, but I believe they have enough money to bring every player they want to play in their league.

Since al hilal was making noise by introduce messi's jersey and it could be a signal if al hilal has an intention to bring messi to the arabian pro league. Messi has become the main rival for ronaldo. I guess that if al hilal will be also offering very big salary for messi to compete with ronaldo in al hilal. The problem is messi may reject it as messi would still able to play in the EU.
that's pretty interesting to wait for how much offers that will be made for messi by al hilal. Al hilal has been motivated to bring messi to the arabian pro league caused by al nassr that already bought ronaldo.
If messi will be going to the arabian pro league and the name of league will be blowing up.

This is exactly how market works in football competition and rivalry.  As Ronaldo and Messi are two top players in Football and if Ronaldo is in Al Nassr an Arab league , someone will try to bring Messi to the competitive league with more the money and perks. But realistically Messi is right now on top of his career and life as he has recently won fifa and he'll look for any option like this right now because he is in demand in   Europe too.
And these Arabs Sheikhs have alot of money they think they can buy anything and anyone with money which is some how true too but let's see what comes next.
