⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TastyChillySauce00]

Chelsea are starting to become active again in the transfer market this winter and this time they are trying to bring in an experienced striker and Chelsea's efforts are to be able to get one of these players between Benzema and Firmino. I think Chelsea's steps are quite right by recruiting a good striker with undoubted experience and as a finisher in front of goal, Benzema or Firmino should be a solution to Chelsea's difficulties in scoring goals.

We know that the current options at Chelsea are not very good and most of them are not very consistent. Let's see if Chelsea can bring in one of them and if Chelsea succeed then they will probably be able to finish in a better position this season and can reduce the risk of falling to the bottom of the table again like the previous season.

Aren't they stupid?

Both Benzema and Firmino were from top clubs in their respective leagues, if both of the clubs didn't want to extend their contracts, it means their career is over. They're not good as they used to be, they won't survive in Premier League.

Chelsea need to change their scouters, they can't hunt a young potential player because they always looking for popular player.

In case of Firmino I think it was him who wanted to leave or not extend his contract and I think he would still have the quality to play on a good level for two years, but Benzema would never be worth any money in the Premier League. He can't even fulfill the expectations in the Saudi League. But it would be scandalous if Chelsea now repeats the same mistakes for the third time in a row and buy players that can't add quality to the team. I don't know how many transfer windows and hundreds of millions they now misspent, but it is time for them to finally do the right things.

Firmino was not feeling good anymore to play in saudi pro league. He was feeling the same thing like his team mate in liverpool, henderson. There's no something wrong with it. Chelsea may potentially to hire one of them as a loan and it will not cost the club a lot.
Im only doubting ittihad to let him leave from the club since benzema was an important thing. He has been involved in the latest conflict against the management but it's not also denying the fact that if benzema was one of star players owned by saudi pro league this time.
Chelsea will be obviously gambling when the club will be realizing that idea to bring benzema from al ittihad to the chelsea. I can't even believe it and i also try to ask myself who the fuck is initiating this idea and told pochettino about that.
Even thought this probably a rumor but chelsea is possible to taking benzema as a loan from al ittihad. There have been many complaints regarding how benzema was deactivated his instagram account and many speculations are appearing.

I agree with you that bringing in Benzema is not the right solution for Manchester United to overcome their front line crisis. Even though he is no longer young, it is difficult for Benzema to appear competitive, let alone playing in the Premier League, which is known to be very draining. It is true that in this second transfer window it is very difficult to buy quality players, but at least Manchester United might be able to borrow several productive strikers with the option to make them permanent at the end of the season.

Looking at the quality of Manchester United play, they are actually not experiencing a crisis in their front line players and of course what they really need is defender who can be relied on to block the opposing team attacks.
Just look at against Wigan in the FA Cup and against Tottenham in the Premier League, Manchester United managed to score a goal and of course it would be much better if Ten Hag brought in a player in the defender position.
Maybe loan option for Benzema wouldn't cost as much as buyout but it would just be waste of budget and Manchester United would still have a weak defensive line.
If they can have strong defensive line then there is big possibility that losses can be minimized and of course the strength of their front line is still worthy enough to score goals and win.

But who knows what the coach was actually thinking that he had the option to bring in Benzema.
I sure that Benzema arrival will not change the situation and Benzema arrival will also become an uncomfortable topic of conversation.

The rumor about manchester united has not yet stopped. The club is now being linked to the olise from crystal palace. I personally think that olise was far better compared to the antony. That's the best thing to sell antony for olise.
Wan bissaka may be sacrificed by manchester united for this transfer.

As Erik ten Hag struggles to solve United's goalscoring woes, it was reported that the Red Devils have taken an active interest in Olise and are prepared to offer Aaron Wan-Bissaka to further sweeten the deal. The 22-year-old has been in sensational form for the Eagles this season and boasts of scoring five goals in nine league appearances, despite sitting out the initial phase of the campaign with an injury.

I don't know why but i quite agree with what the article said above if manchester united needs olise to strengthen its attacking line. Antony was really underperform and it's the time for manchester united to replace him with a better player like olise.
Ten hag needs to revamp the club started by the defenders. The quality of the current defensive line was very weak. Selling wan bissaka has become one of the good decision as long as money raised from selling him is going to be used carefully.

Ten hag needs to leave from his previous mistake before he will try to buy the new players. Manchester united needs to overhaul the club as soon as possible. Ten hag needs to be sacked first and this will make the club able to rebuild its squad again.

It is difficult for Manchester United to level the deal of Benzema given by Al Ittihad. Furthermore, it does not work out either because Benzema is now old or not in a similar condition as his time with Real Madrid. However, there are signs that Benzema is dissatisfied in Saudi Arabia, and he may consider a shorter, more manageable deal to bring him back to Europe. In addition, Benzema already has a lot of money like Messi, he might think about small deals and stay out of the desert. With a bearable deal, Benzema stays appealing to any clubs in Europe. Chelsea is also in the news ready to talk with Benzema for a shorter deal.

Instead of spending time, energy and money to bring in Benzema from Al Ittihad who is no longer able to play optimally due to his increasing age. It would be better for Manchester United to devote their energy to finding players who are easier and more productive in scoring goals. Manchester United really needs a striker who is hungry for goals, his inconsistent performance and very blunt front line requires Management to think more rationally in transfer policy. Bringing in Benzema is not a solution to overcome the crisis that Manchester United is currently experiencing, he cannot be relied on any longer because of his increasing age.

Ten Hag struggles with managing big players. Bringing in Benzema won't benefit Man United. The club's focus should be on scouting young, talented players who are hungry to grow and strengthen the team. Opting for older players like Benzema seems odd. Man United requires a quality striker in their prime, not one nearing retirement. Securing top strikers for Man United is challenging, and the risk of signing players towards the end of their careers is high.

Nah both Sabitzer and Weghorst weren't successful, Manchester United should have extend their contracts if they're successful. There's no reason to include Benzema into the squad, they have Rashford, Hojlund and Martial, more than enough if one of them is injured.

Manchester United need to search new center back player since they're don't have good defenders.

Sabitzer was ditch as a result of him being always injured then but I will say Manchester United made a mistake because he should have been signed after recovering. Sabitzer was a central midfielder that can play any of the role in the midfield and Manchester United was lacking such players and they later went on to sign Mason Mount who to me isn’t a central midfielder but just an attacking midfielder. This shows that Manchester United do not have proper recruitment team if not you can’t leave a player that has your similar qualities and go for another player who is more expensive and play him out of position.

As for a striker yes Manchester United need one, the three players you mentioned above only one is a proper striker. Martial has been with united for over 5 years and he can’t play consistently and that has really affected Manchester United, I think it is the right time to sell him. As for Rashford we all know he doesn’t play well from the striker position as he likes to play from the left wing and he is only deployed as a striker when there is injury crisis. Now only Hojlund is a striker but since his arrival he has failed to leave up to expectations and that was expect because he is so young and a new striker will relive him some pressure.

As for a new striker I don’t think they need to go for Benzema because is just a short fix and going for him will be a waste of time and funds to me. They missed the opportunity of signing Harry Kane they just need to go for another long term fix. A player like Serhour Guirassy is up the market for just around $25M

[Pesona1]

Man United's transfer policy is unlikely to include Benzema in the transfer plan. His age and large salary do not seem to have much advantage in the short or long term. I'm very happy with this decision because that's what I've been thinking since the beginning of the Benzema transfer rumors. It seems that Man United can't transfer freely due to FFP rules and they also learned from last season with Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst. They were both successful loan players last season.

Recruiting defenders is the main focus that Ten Hag should be doing right now, their poor defense is quite clear in some of their matches, Lisandro injury has had a significant impact on Manchester United and even currently Varane is not in good form, while several players Manchester's other centre-backs such as Maguire, Lindelof and Evans have not been able to show adequate capacity as central defenders, currently there are several rumors that say that Ten Hag is approaching several defenders and one of them is Ronald Araujo who is the current Barcelona defender, Araujo performance is brilliant  with  barcelona are of concern to Ten Hag who are currently in need of a new defender to strengthen their back line and I think if Manchester United dare to bid high then it is not impossible that Araujo could be theirs, especially now that Barcelona needs money to stabilize their finances.

[makishart]

Benzema to Chelsea could make sense, he is still not "that" old and he could help them for 1.5 years, or even 6 months if he wants to. That way everyone wins, Chelsea gets a striker they need, and Benzema gets out of the situation he is in right now. That should be an important situation for him because it looks like he is not going to be all that happy where he is right now and I believe that he is going to end up with something that has to change on the long run.

It will be worthy enough as long as benzema will agree to go to the chelsea as a loan. The main problem if this guy may also reject it. Manchester united has been denied the news said that if benzema linked to the club.
There are several clubs strongly linked to him but since benzema was not even making confirmation regarding this and im not even trusting this too. Benzma can try to play in the EPL for the first time with chelsea.
Pochettino may also see him as a good striker as well but people being contradicted with his age. I do agree with them if his age was also the problem since it will be also affecting his stamina too.
I would prefer to get a good striker other than him but he has so many experience play in the real madrid. Will benzme join in chelsea? let's see.

I know that we are not going to end up with something all that much, we are going to end up with a situation that would benefit everyone all the while better. I know that we can see Benzema struggling there too, but it looks like it would be worth a try.

He was struggling in SPL caused by he has not got a good club to play. Ittihad was rich, but it was not as good as al nassr or al hilal. Benzema can perform differently when he will be entering the EPL league.
It will be also interesting to see him play for chelsea in EPL. I do support the decision to recruit him as a striker. The junior striker can learn a lot from him. Chelsea can use benzema indirectly as a mentor for all of young striker especially jackson.

Firmino was not feeling good anymore to play in saudi pro league. He was feeling the same thing like his team mate in liverpool, henderson. There's no something wrong with it. Chelsea may potentially to hire one of them as a loan and it will not cost the club a lot.
Im only doubting ittihad to let him leave from the club since benzema was an important thing. He has been involved in the latest conflict against the management but it's not also denying the fact that if benzema was one of star players owned by saudi pro league this time.

But then there is something I really don't understand. All of these players go to the Saudi Professional League for money only and for nothing else. It is all a lie when someone leaves European football and asserts that they do it because they want to grow Saudi Arabian football. That's just not true.

Now if they sign these highly lucrative contracts over $100m, which is what Benzema's salary is I think, what happens to these contracts when they leave those clubs and go to the Premier League? They would never do that if there are no hidden deals somewhere. Benzema wouldn't go to Chelsea to earn $10m a year when he would get $100m a year in Saudi Arabia. There is just no way this can be true.

Hi guys, I heard some news that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has decided to sack Xavi at the end of the season because he has such poor performance status at Barcelona this season. He lost almost 70% of his matches of his entire career under the coaching of Barcelona. By status, if we look at the current 4th position of Barcelona in the league table, despite the fact that Barcelona has a lot of good players, they don't have any potential to carry on the club like La Masiha's players. So first, Barcelona needs to bring some good innovative players like Halaand or Mbappe because their attacking players are not doing well. But anyway, no one else knows that this is the problem of the Manager or player.

Moreover, now Xavi has the opportunity to win any trophy this season, like the Copa de Rey or the Champions League. So maybe possibly Barcelona should keep Xavi for next year; otherwise, there is no more waiting for him to keep him as a coach. From all above, Xavi has lost the clasico 4-1 to real Madrid. It was not a classico but a super cup and a final. So, because of the defeat of 4-1, Barcelona was very embarrassed because in the rivery of Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, it is not seen what the progress is in the match, but the coach emphasizes the quality of the classico.

I think so too. Benzema can no longer keep up with the tiring and fast pace of the Premier League. Manchester United, who sent Ronaldo, who is still very good at his age, from the team, would receive a lot of criticism if they transferred Benzema to solve this problem. I think Ronaldo is still better than Benzema. When he joined Manchester United, he was criticized harshly, but he was the team's top scorer during his time.

It sounds logical to spend this period by taking players on loan. Manchester United could not get much benefit from young player Hojlund in the tiring pace of the league. Even though Hojlund played effective matches in the UCL, he was far below expectations in the league. However, he found too much time. That's why they started looking for an effective striker. Maybe they can bring back one of the players who could not keep up with Saudi Arabia on loan.

[Cookdata]

It is impossible for Manchester United to be willing to pay a high price for a player who is already 36 years old, he can no longer maintain his performance like he is still playing for Real Madrid because he is getting older. The Premier League relies more on strength and speed, Benzema is no longer able to run as fast as before and his strength is also decreasing due to age. Bringing in Benzema with an expensive dowry was a blunder by Manchester United because previously they had parted ways with players who were considered old.

Wasn't Ronaldo 36 when he last played for Manchester United? He was due 37 when he left the club and was doing well until the rift between him and Erik wasn't coming to the end he left the club and went for Alnasrr where he is now enjoying his life. But Manchester United will not accept Benzema because the type of players they right now is not the kind of Benzema, to me he has finish football and is either he continue to play there or he should protect his legacy and retired with dignity.

Chelsea are starting to become active again in the transfer market this winter and this time they are trying to bring in an experienced striker and Chelsea's efforts are to be able to get one of these players between Benzema and Firmino. I think Chelsea's steps are quite right by recruiting a good striker with undoubted experience and as a finisher in front of goal, Benzema or Firmino should be a solution to Chelsea's difficulties in scoring goals.

Chelsea will always amaze me foolishly, if this information is true speculated then I'm afraid to say that they are not ready to live that place they're in the table. What as are they looking up in Benzema that are not in European players, I'm very sure there are more good current players inform than what Benzema is doing in Saudi Arabia League. What I want to see Chelsea do first is to get rid of Pochettino but they aren't ready to do that isn't? I'm ashame of Chelsea Board adviser.

Chelsea looking to recklessly spend more money on transfers? It’d be good if they actually decided to coach the £1,500,000,000 signings that they have already made.

I predict they will be in deep trouble at some stage with FFP. They are making a mockery of the whole transfer situation.

Firmino and Benzema have been true legends of the game but they are past their peak.

Mourinho has left his job at Roma. Maybe Mourinho can return to Chelsea one more time and make things right. His second adventure at Chelsea was not so good, but he is the best manager in Chelsea's history. I think he should take charge of Chelsea once again and try to bring Chelsea back to the old days. They spend money on transfers but they don't have someone who can manage the team. I think Mourinho could be the right person for them.

Erik Ten Hag's general problem is that he does not get along with the players. It doesn't matter whether he is young or old, this is his general problem. Manchester United is an important team. The coach who will manage them also needs to be a more important coach and be able to manage the players in the best possible way. Manchester United cannot be successful with Ten Hag. I think it's time for him to be kicked out of the team.

[Adams0001]

I feel like he could have won that at PSG as well if he was that good enough, he wants to go to a team that could already win without him, so far in the past 6 or so years Real won 4 times, not sure if it was six or seven, but they won a lot and they have built a great young squad as well.

So what Mbappe wants is not to go to Real Madrid and help them win, what he wants is to go to a team that would already win, and just be there when they do. He could stay at the bunch and they would still win it, I am not saying they are going to, but with this squad and players? I am pretty sure that they are going to win one eventually anyway, and that is without Mbappe, if you add Mbappe then he will get one thanks to other players there too. That's just what he wants, an easy title.

PSG has money to create amazing team. They had Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, one of the best trio but they lacked good midfielders, they make choices that benefit their marketing and not the actual strength of the team. I think it's not only that Mbappe didn't win champions league in PSG because he is not good enough, the problem lies in their management.

Actually, you are true, Real Madrid has such an amazing team that they don't really need Mbappe to win. Also, I agree with you when you say that Mbappe wants an easy title but I still think that it will be a waste of time for him to stay in PSG. There are tons of benefits that he gets besides easy titles in Real Madrid, he is a very talented guy and the competition in La League and Ancelotti as a coach, will help him to move on another level.

Exactly, PSG has crucial players, but the biggest issue is the coach, and I am confident Mbappe will not win the Champions League if he does not change clubs, because they have had the opportunity to win the last two years with the Goat Messi and have refused to upset Real Madrid. Mbappe needs to switch teams if he wants to win many trophies and awards in his career; France League 1 has no competition. PSG used to win the league any season, and I am very convinced even this season, they will still win the league championship. They can do very well in the league, but when it comes to the Champions League they can't compete with the rest, the coach need to get another players to the team because I don't think psg lack money to buy players.

Real Madrid can win the Champions League without Mbappe, but if Real Madrid gets Mbappe, the team will be balanced, which is why Ancelotti needs Mbappe to the team, and if Real Madrid gets Mbappe, I don't think they will be a team that can win Real Madrid easily because even without him, Real Madrid is performing great, I think Ancelotti will try his hardest to bring Mbappe to the club next season, experts say he renews his contract with PSG, and I believe he can do so,  Luis Enrique will not want to lose this talented player from the team.I feel they will not be able to replace Mbappe with a better striker because if he departs the clubs, they will have too many obstacles in the competition.I believe they will try to increase his wage in order to get him to renew is contract. We'll see what will happens at the end of the season, whether he renews or transfers to Real Madrid.

Securing top strikers for Man United is challenging, and the risk of signing players towards the end of their careers is high.

This happened because it started with Ten Hag's self-confidence and egoism.
He is actually quite capable of training big players, it's just that his attitude is not very good and looks as if he wants to be flattered by players and when there is a player who doesn't suit his heart then he will try to get rid of that player which makes Ten Hag unable to make the team better.
The way the game can still be but it is not supported by his attitude that seems authoritarian and considers players who are against him a mistake that makes this a little complicated for Ten Hag.
There's no need to mention actual examples because we seem to know that there are some players now who are starting to try to disobey when if he's a good coach he should be starting chemistry not making things worse.

Bringing in Benzema with an expensive dowry was a blunder by Manchester United because previously they had parted ways with players who were considered old.

Manchester Utd must think carefully if they want to buy Karim Benzema at a high price because this player is no longer able to play in the EPL considering that he is no longer young and most likely his stamina is not as strong before when he was at Madrid. However, it seems that Man Utd is not the only one interested in bringing in Benzema because PSG also intends to return Benzema to the European league so this will be hot transfer news if that really happens, we'll see which team succeeds in bringing in Madrid's mainstay player, will the team that brought him in not regret that Benzema's transfer fee is very expensive considering that he cannot be used as a long-term investment for the team.

Benzema is still a good player and I still believe in what he can bring to any team,he was very outstanding while he was at Madrid,and even if he is aging,he can still do what he was doing then while he was at Madrid.Man u currently need another top striker with experience,but I don't think a striker is what Man u should be looking at now,I think their main focus should have been their midfield,when the midfield is not functioning effectively,there is no way the striking unit will be effective,they need attacking midfielders that can make the team liable to get goals when ever they play.Their defence is another unit they need to improve,and untill they improve it,they won't have a good result.

Firmino and Benzema have been true legends of the game but they are past their peak.

Chelsea do not care about spending a lot of money when there is a striker who is wanted will definitely be bought. No Chelsea only want instant and already famous players at any price will be bought. Lol

Yes this player has become a legend. Benzema for Real Madrid and Firminho for Liverpool as legends, now there are many teams who want his services maybe he only utilizes the rest of his career on loan because this will not require high costs.

[QueenVera]

as a result of him being always injured then but I will say Manchester United made a mistake because he should have been signed after recovering. Sabitzer was a central midfielder that can play any of the role in the midfield and Manchester United was lacking such players and they later went on to sign Mason Mount who to me isn’t a central midfielder but just an attacking midfielder.

Martial has been with united for over 5 years and he can’t play consistently and that has really affected Manchester United, I think it is the right time to sell him. As for Rashford we all know he doesn’t play well from the striker position as he likes to play from the left wing and he is only deployed as a striker when there is injury crisis. Now only Hojlund is a striker but since his arrival he has failed to leave up to expectations and that was expect because he is so young and a new striker will relive him some pressure.

As for a new striker I don’t think they need to go for Benzema because is just a short fix and going for him will be a waste of time and funds to me. They missed the opportunity of signing Harry Kane they just need to go for another long term fix. A player like Serhour Guirassy is up the market for just around $25M

Sabitzer would had been a good signing if not for Injury that caused him to lose his form in the club, if you noticed he left United and went to play for Leipzig and he's doing well over there currently. Manchester united were impatient and needed quick action, they didn't need another Injury prone player that would make the team more weaker, however I wonder why they went for Mason Mount that's in same situation to Sabitzer and has been battling with injury since he came into the team, we're yet to see the best of him.

 The Striker position is something Manchester united shouldn't joke with in this ongoing window, they need a good partner for Hojlund so as not to be stressing Marcus Rashford to play that position, Martial is not a serious play and should be in a team like united, there's a lot of reasons why I think he shouldn't be in that team,  and they should either stick with getting an experienced Benzema or fight hard to get young and very vibrant Guirassy.
