⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I do agree with it. Potter must be sacked. Potter recently claimed that the main problem was not him but the players itself. It can't even be accepted. Potter has also become the worst coach in the history of premier league. This can't even be accepted. Potter didn't have mentality to coaching chelsea. I vote for zidane, enrique or mourinho to be a new coach for chelsea but not for potter

To go or not to go? Chelsea risks relegation with their consistent poor performance week after week if Potter stays. Alot of fans have said things like "he is not ready for the job," "Chelsea needs a top manager that can salvage the situation," "he is a mid-table manager,". The fans are so impatient, and I understand.
However, they should remember that Arsenal's Arteta faced the same situation at the beginning of his management in Arsenal but look at him now and the team he has built up.

Whoever the manager who handles Chelsea, will not necessarily bring Chelsea to significant changes. what happened to Chelsea, the same as the situation with Liverpool. the difference is, Chelsea brought in a lot of newcomers. while Liverpool, only brought in Gakpo. but for sure, both of them are in their worst phases. there are many factors that become obstacles, apart from the many injured players. mentality and spirit of the players, is dropping. in essence, Klopp and Potter are both trying to get their teams back on track. but it's not easy, there's a process they have to go through, trying to rebuild the bond and chemistry between the players, plus, the coach. everyone involved must work together, not just put all the blame on the coach.

Nevertheless, I believe. if Potter is not able to bring change to the end of this season. then his career with Chelsea, will end.

There were many considerations when Chelsea wanted to fire Graham Potter as coach, because Chelsea's owner Todd Boehly was quite satisfied with Potter's performance off the field, Potter made your team's training a pretty good analysis. He also has a calm personality and rarely expresses emotion on the field. And when he is off the field he dares to express his complaints in front of the players, he does this so that the players can correct their game.
Another reason why Chelsea didn't want to fire Potter was related to team building. If Potter is fired then team building will stop, rather than looking for a new coach which of course takes time and adaptation, it is better to retain Graham Potter.

Since being handled by Potter, Chelsea has played in 27 matches in all competitions. However, they only managed to win 9 wins under the British manager. The rest, Chelsea had to settle for 7 draws and 9 defeats. In fact, the most recent was a 0-1 defeat to bottom team Southampton in the Premier League.

Chelsea's declining performance has knocked them out of the FA Cup and English League Cup and is stranded in 10th place in the Premier League standings. In the Champions League, Mason Mount and his colleagues also suffered a 0-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the round of 16.

Since the failure that Chelsea received, Graham Potter has received so much criticism from Chelsea fans who are dissatisfied with the results achieved by the blues. Potter was only able to give 1 win for Chelsea and even then at the start of his debut if I'm not mistaken. Dna now doesn't know what makes the Chelsea team keep it while the English Premier League giant clubs improve their performance. Only Chelsea was far behind, this should have been a final warning for Potter not to waste himself at Chelsea.

It's been so long since they scored that I can't even remember. I don't want to compare Chelsea's case to Arsenal's, but Chelsea's is worse. It will soon be time for them to pay Potter off with huge sums, but he still has to prove his worth. It's embarrassing to be a Chelsea fan right now. There is a lot of depression about Chelsea's poor PL position. Potter and Chelsea need to bounce back strongly. A Chelsea fan must be patient so he or she can experience it. Because Potter was hired to build a team, the process takes time.

Even though Chelsea's current condition is very bad but talking about the relegation I think is too much for them.
The current conditions are still very far from being in that zone, it's just that at this time their conditions are still very below the standard for a big club.
It's still very possible to be in the middle standings but when relegation with the current conditions I don't think so because it's too far.

They have to make a decent breakthrough at this time Potter is clearly threatened even though I still believe he will be in his position until the end of the season, but for next season I have doubts about that.

Chelsea are still 11 points ahead of West Ham who are in the last relegation zone. The player material that Chelsea already has, it is impossible for Chelsea to fall into the Relegation Zone. Chelsea need a new manager to improve their quality for the rest of the season, Potter who was shown to replace Tuchel has not been able to bring Chelsea out of pressure. The presence of a new coach is expected to improve his performance, Chelsea must immediately rise from adversity to improve its position.

We all know Potter couldn't use all the team's potential and he could perform well enough but still, there are many games left from this season and Chelsea should play many important games so I don't think they will fire Graham Potter before this season ends, however, they can even have other chance to him for the next season because they are buying many superstar players and buying these stars can probably be enough for changing Chelsea situation to achieve the goals for next season.

[SquallLeonhart]

Real Madrid's achievements are even greater and Rudiger can become even stronger with teamwork at Real Madrid. So maybe Rudiger hstud will first consider the offer made by Tottenham, Real Madrid also of course won't let go of one of their best teams easily. because right now they are playing great with Barcelona to win in La Liga.

i don't think Rudiger will leave, he's playing at one of the best teams and he's doing a decent job, and i don't think Real Madrid would want to get him off of their squad, i'm pretty sure he will keep playing for a couple of years at least with Real Madrid.

This is of course depending on money. If there is a team out there willing to pay a lot more than what Real pays him, then he could end up playing somewhere else as well. But right now? He is playing in a very good team, and playing a very good way as well, which means that he has no reason to leave and he will probably stay.

This is why I believe that there won't be a situation where he will leave, and I really doubt anyone else would pay him more to get him neither because Real is a rich club and they must be paying him more than anyone else, would not make sense to pay someone more than Real pays them, that means you are basically overpaying for them.

When looking at the video it seems that Joao Mendes is very dominant using his left foot, in contrast to his father who is dominant using his right foot. I think it's pretty good considering he's still very young and joining Barcelona. But there are indeed indications that later he will be loaned to another club before he is truly mature to enter the Barcelona first team squad list.

Does Joao Mendes is Ronaldiho's son? I have been watched on Youtube about his skill and actually most familiar with Ronaldinho skill despite most dominance using left foot and difference with Ronaldinho with right left foot.

Barcelona have bad experience with young age recruitment because last several time failed with highest expectation, any one still remember with young superstar young recruitment by Barcelona Alen Halilović? he come to Barcelona with highest expectation as young player but at the end most his career spent with junior team only without get chance move up as senior squad for La Liga and Champion League competition.

Potter thinks he isn't the main reason for Chelsea's bad run now. But I really don't know about this. It still feels like Tuchel would have made this team better if he was given more time. Chelsea should just find a fitting manager for the team before seriously thinking about sacking Potter. The right manager should be an experienced and successful one as well. Potter doesn't have a career in which he worked with big teams mostly. He just had a great time period with Brighton and impressed people.

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Leeds United have announced Javi Gracia as their new manager. I think it’s a decent appointment. He did well at Watford then unfairly treated like most temporary managers there. He led them to an FA Cup final and their best Premier League season. He took over Watford in a much better position than what Leeds are in now which might make his job even more challenging. But he could still do well as Leeds have some good players who might suit his style of play. I'd like to see Leeds stay up.

[Leviathan.007]

Ronaldinho's son, Joao Mendes (17 yo) is set to sign with Barcelona's youth team. There are no game statistics from the previous club Cruzeiro. Not much information about him, I tried to find his appearance on Youtube, and found this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK2Bm9a5QBQ

Is it possible that Joao Mendes will be able to compete with other Barcelona players as a starting XI, or will he be loaned out more often than played with Barcelona? What do you think?

When looking at the video it seems that Joao Mendes is very dominant using his left foot, in contrast to his father who is dominant using his right foot. I think it's pretty good considering he's still very young and joining Barcelona. But there are indeed indications that later he will be loaned to another club before he is truly mature to enter the Barcelona first team squad list.

Joao Mendes can have the chance to become the next superstar because unlike his father he got all he needs to grow up. Barcelona's youth team is very famous for raising stars and helping them, show themselves also his father is the famous Ronaldinho who can help him whenever he needs. So, if Joao Mendes is 17y old right now he can start thinking about how to start his professional creaser on a famous team in Europe if he is talented enough, there Barcelona can also hold these players and invest in him for the future.

[LUCKMCFLY]

In my very personal opinion, I would love for Messi not to stay at PSG or Barcelona, but in Arab fútbol.

Messi is one of the star players who has had a pretty good football career and there is no need to doubt his playing ability.
If messi joins the arap football team won't it affect his career.
Because he is a star player and certainly wants to continue to join a big, well-known team and can further boost his career.
So that the skills and career he has achieved are not in vain. So it seems unlikely that Messi will join an Arab football team.

If you talk about career decline, then it's already downhill when he went to Paris Saint Germain. After all, he's no longer young either, so what's wrong if he decides to go to the Arab League.
I have no doubt that Messi is one of the best players in the world, he got what he wanted by winning the World Cup some time ago. So it's not impossible that he will leave Europe to find peace at the end of his career.

Well, I say about Messi not to make it something like the end of his career or bury it, I say it because he has achieved all kinds of titles, the ones that every player dreams of having, Messi has achieved them, so why not try a different football? eventually he would be covering almost the entire world with his continents dominating him and showing that he is the best, I think he doesn't have to show more, there are players who are satisfied just being world champions and for them it is completing their career with a great success, he has won leagues, UCL, so why not try in a team where they will pay him very impressive amounts of money and apart from that he will be highly recognized, in that aspect is what I say.


On the other hand, something or a signing that can be a complete bomb is also from Chelsea, since it is said that they are looking for the great zizu! And if he agrees to go to Chelsea, it will be one of those bigger bombs than Enzo himself, and like every fan of good football, I think he would support Chelsea much more, a Graham doesn't do badly, but Zidane is on another level That is my perception, and I think that many will become a Chelsea fan if this happens, I clarify, I saw this possible signing on one of my social networks, it is not an info that has an article or something to support the information, it could be told like a rumor.

This makes much more sense what you just said and saying Messi's career went down the hill when he went to Paris Saint Germain is at best half the truth. The entire club of Fc Barcelona was on the decline. Now when you only refer to the attractiveness of Ligue 1, I agree. But going to a club in order to play with Neymar and Mbappé isn't necessarily a decline anymore and their objective has always been clearly defined, which was to win the Champions League. I doubt that Messi really bothers about Ligue 1 that much.

Maybe Manchester City would have been a better option from a fan's perspective, but seeing PSG compete in the Champions League is quite fun as well. I doubt I would have done anything differently and as LUCKMCFLY said, cashing in impressive amounts of money while still being able to compete with the best of the best is a totally acceptable move. It would be said if he went to Saudi Arabia while he is still at this level. I wouldn't like that.

Well, if I am sure of one thing, it is that Barcelona is not going to leave, because Messi's brother has just left him very calm, he even said and emphasized that Messi's mother told him many times that the Spanish are very ungrateful and that It was very probable that he left Barcelona like they took Ronaldinho out, and honestly without anything left inside, I think he left Barcelona like that, they didn't know how to value him and they didn't know how to give him his position, the fact that Messi saw that he was leaving Barcelona and his tears, for many it was a reason for ridicule, something that I did not like or I am not a big fan of him, but I know that he is a formidable player. I don't like injustice either and what was done to him fits into the greatest injustice in the world.

Actually, 34 years old is still good enough if he wants to go to a Ligue 1 team or a Bundesliga team, but not as a main player but more as a second tier player, at least he still has a one-season contract duration if he goes to one of the teams in the league above. But I really think that the left fullback position really requires a lot of stamina because you have to often help attack and defend. Is it possible that Marcelo will follow in the footsteps of his best friend in the Middle East League? I think it's a pretty good option if there is an offer from a club from that league.

Marcelo was one of the best defenders at his prime. Any club that gets his services will enjoy his wealth of experience. He will be able to groom young defenders and make them understand how to defend. For now he should consider moving to the United States or the Middle East like most players in his level. He could also consider embarking on a coaching course that can certify him to get a coaching job in the nearest future. He can also retire and decide to go into other businesses and spend good time with his family and friends.

Indeed, there are so many options available to Marcelo, only he will decide his future. But I think he still looks like he wants to play football and it looks like in the near future there will be a club that will want his services. But I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon and can continue with the sport he loves so much.

Well Marcelo is a very good player, he also has a lot to offer any team, he is one of those players who can make a great move at any moment and end in a goal, it is not common for him to be a striker, but he is one of those defenders They eat up the entire field and they can do something to you, something like what Roberto Carlos did.

If Marcelo goes to the Saudi League it wouldn't be a bad decision, in fact it would be a smart decision, any famous player who goes to the Saudi League will make that football continue to grow, before I didn't see that league, now the games are broadcast on TV , at least those of Al-Nassr.

[shogun47]

I think that Rudiger would definitely want to stay and Real Madrid will be fine with it. Even if they are planning to make their squad younger over the coming years, you usually want to have some balance between older, experienced players and younger players especially in the defense lines. Experienced players do have a couple of tricks up their sleeves to shut down a strong offensive opponent. I would say that very young defenders are more prone to mistakes in certain situations.

Agree. I see no reason that Rudiger will leave Real Madrid. Rudiger experienced a good season with Real Madrid and he can play regularly. There is no bad issue about Rudiger and Real Madrid, too. So, Rudiger should stay in Real Madrid and won't be interested in Tottenham offer because he is already in the best club in the world now. Ancelotti also will try to keep him because Ancelotti knows that Rudiger has a good role in Real Madrid squad. Rudiger is a strong CB and rarely gets injured, it is difficult to get his replacement if he is leaving.

Yes and he is also a regular player in the Champions League as well. There isn't really much reason for him to leave the club. He is now 29 years old and his absolute prime, and for as long as he is a regular player who is not very often sitting on the bench, why would you even consider leaving the club? If I researched correctly, he is earning close to 15 milion EUR per year right now and money can't be the problem either. He had like 6 million when he played for Chelsea. There is no other club who would pay more and who could offer him better perspectives in terms of winning titles.

The salary must be about right for Rudiger with close to 15 million. I just looked up the salaries for Kroos and Modric and obviously Real Madrid is paying high salaries in general. Kroos is around 21 million and even Modric at his age still gets close to 20 million. I would say that is a nice pension for a player who is going to turn 38 this year.

[makishart]

For Real Madrid, Rüdiger is an important player and a newcomer to the team.  We will still watch many matches with Real Madrid jersey.  I also think it's successful.  I don't think Real Madrid will let him go easily.  If Anthony Rüdiger wants to leave the team, of course, this may change.  I honestly think this possibility is unrealistic.

Real madrid will not even try to put him in the sale list. Rudiger was also most successful transfer from chelsea. Rudiger's performance is always good. Ancellotti likes him so much to be in the main squad and there's no chance for totenham to get him.
I don't even think that rudiger will be willing to play in the mediocre team like totenham. It will be a very big degrade for his career. totenham was just a club that was rarely getting trophy. Rudiger could be ended to be the same like harry kane.

Played so long with the club but only get a few worthless trophies. Rudiger will never even interested with totenham's offer.

[logfiles]

Does Joao Mendes is Ronaldiho's son? I have been watched on Youtube about his skill and actually most familiar with Ronaldinho skill despite most dominance using left foot and difference with Ronaldinho with right left foot.

He is, he even carries part of his Father's name "de Assis Moreira"

That was before. I think Xavi is doing a very good job with the Youngsters. Just look at the current Barcelona squad, except for a few old players like Lewandowski. But what the Son should do is just be him in order to avoid the pressure of trying to be his father who was a Barcelona great

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.

The arrogance of Tuchel dismissal carried out by Chelsea new owners is now starting to show a real impact, Chelsea performance under Potter coaching is no better than Tuchel and even after spending a lot of money in the transfer market Potter has been unable to make a significant change in Chelsea performance, so far Potter has indeed has managed to train Brighton well but I think his job at big team like Chelsea has failed miserably at this time so Potter is just waiting for the time for his dismissal to be carried out by Chelsea especially now that the Potter Out hashtag is starting to resonate.

[Coyster]

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.

I honestly doubt that a third stint/spell for Mou in Chelsea is possible, after his first spell as Chelsea boss from 2004-2007, and with the trophies he won at the club, he was adored by the fans, they loved him, and that gave him the opportunity to return again as head coach from 2013-2015, and even though he won another EPL title in his second spell as manager, he didn't quite leave on good terms with the fans and the Chelsea board (though it's a different hierarchy right now).

Having said that, remember that afterwards Mou has coached both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, both of which are Chelsea's rivals, and if i remember correctly he had somewhat of a clash with the fans when he returned to Stamford Bridge as Manchester United's manager, all of these makes it quite difficult for him to come back to the club. Anyway Mourinho is currently enjoying his time at Roma, and i think if he is to move from Italy, he would prolly go and coach PSG.

[X-ray]

I reckon if tuchel was laughing so hard at todd. this owner was losing his brain by replacing diamond with silver. I don't even know how todd was thinking about the performance from potter right now. Even potter didn't even admit if that's his fault that was making chelsea was performing so bad like that. I think that chelsea has no time anymore to use potter as a coach. It's better to sack him before it's too late.

Pochettino already rejected an offer from chelsea. It's caused by chelsea already being destroyed by potter. Pochettino was taking the right decision. Chelsea needs to find an alternative solution for that.

Potter can't be used as a coach again. it has been destroying chelsea. Chelsea may go to the relegation zone if it keeps performing like that.

Emi Martinez 'will be made available for summer transfer exit, the defeat to Arsenal where he made a fatal mistake especially for Arsenal's fourth goal which made Villa look very bad at that time was the trigger but I suspect his inappropriate celebration during the World Cup victory celebrations also became one of the triggers why he will not be retained by Aston Villa https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21461435/emi-martinez-aston-villa-summer-transfer-unai-emery/

Emi was getting star syndrome. The blunders against arsenal was really bad. I know that if he would like to help the team in the last minute but yeah it likes a charity goal for arsenal.

Emi Martinez reportedly wants to swap Aston Villa for a Champions League club in a deal that would make him one of the world’s most expensive keepers.

https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/emiliano-martinez-most-expensive-goalkeepers-aston-villa-argentina-transfer-champions-league/blt5c4a92bb82091465
World's most expensive goal keeper? That sounds non sense for me to be honest. I would like to call him a lord that was making blunders. He might be lcuky enough to help barcelona to won world cup but not with aston villa. His performance against arsenal can be categorized as a bad performance. The fourth goal may not happen if he will stay.

He just lucky enough for blocking Kingley Coman's shot during final World Cup match and he's really self confidence if he's the best goalkeeper in the world. Courtois, Neuer, and De Gea just unlucky to have a not good teammates, they're far better than Martinez. I don't think any big team will want to sign him after he show very bad performance in Aston Villa, I think he might joined a team which only play in local league.

It seems that even if a big club wanted to sign Emi Martinez, most of them would doubt it because he only performed well in the 2022 world cup, while for the club he didn't perform well enough. Speaking of league competition, of course, every club needs a goalkeeper who plays very well and is also consistent in every season, while for international competition it seems that this is not a good enough benchmark for each club to go through all the matches in every season.
