⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LUCKMCFLY]

Arsenal really need a sharp attacker that can play as a central nine,because none of this current attackers can really deliver them when they need him the most.In the champions league yesterday, Barcelona got a 1:1 with Napoli,and it was their two attackers that scored the goals because they are reliable.Osimhen and Lewandowski got the goals for them to show how important a central nine is.
If Arsenal should be able to get a sharp attacker like Vampersie of those days,then they must have gotten a complete squad.

It's true, they need a striker who is daring and goes up and makes disasters, a striker who can make a difference and who doesn't give any importance to any defender, someone who has the Irreverence of a Messi, a CR7, someone who doesn't stop him. Come on, but that's Difficult, I could think that there are many players, but I don't know what would be the approach of an Arteta who didn't know how to read Porto's intentions well, who in the end left them there without advancing anything, this means that now The second leg in England has to go out from Minute 1 to look for that game, that is, Leave everything on the Field, and Porto knows that they are going to go after them , they have to have a very strong Defense system.

The game will undoubtedly be very close and the arsenal will open to see where it can come in, this means that when it is in full force anything can happen , I Believe and sense that Porto will come out with a very defensive line. big and will bet on going with a big counterattack, all the wear and tear will be done by Arsneal, they will all go up, that's what I think it can be.

Of course, another thing is that Porto is going to look for the Match because they want to secure it, but they are in the condition of visitors, they can't do much, they can feel uncomfortable, this is something that we must see,  I don't know if in another aspect it is possible that Things may be more in their favor , but I think that Arsenal will go all out in that match, in fact they should do so and since they don't have another attacker right now, they will have to change the game plan, because it is already known that You read it, the scheme has to be more Focused on the Attack.


Lack of Champions League experience cost Arsenal: Arteta

A lack of experience in Europe’s top club competition was a factor in Arsenal conceding a late goal in their Champions League game at Porto on Wednesday but manager Mikel Arteta said the north London side will learn from the 1-0 defeat.
Arsenal failed to get a shot on target all night despite having the majority of possession in the first leg of the round of 16 tie, with Galeno’s 94th-minute winner condemning them to defeat. Wednesday’s match at the Estadio Do Dragao was Arsenal’s first Champions League knockout game under Arteta and came six seasons after they last competed in Europe’s top-tier competition in 2016-17.
“We really dominated the game but we lacked purpose, especially in the first half, to have much more aggression, to break lines, to play forward, to generate much more threat in their backline,” Arteta told reporters. “In the second half there were much better things and we generated a lot of situations without really creating much from it, but we’ll learn from it.”
When asked if Arsenal’s lack of Champions League experience could have been a factor in conceding the late goal, Arteta said: “It’s only the last ball. If in 94 minutes we didn’t have the naivety in that one, I think it’s a bit cruel to judge it but it’s true that it’s had a big impact on the result. A lot of other things that they’ve done for the first time here, it was very good.”
Arteta stuck with the same starting line-up for the third game in succession following his team’s 5-0 demolition of Burnley at the weekend. But the Gunners failed to register a single shot on target as their recent goal spree came to a shuddering halt.

According to this, could this team include someone like Haaland? or a forward of this style? One of these transfers could make a difference, but for now I think that at the end of the season is where they can make a move or at least on Loan.

If Arsenal should be able to get a sharp attacker like Vampersie of those days,then they must have gotten a complete squad.

Arsenal would go into the transfer market for a striker this summer, there are rumors that they might try to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford. Thomas Frank has already said it would be nearly impossible to keep Toney at the team after the end of the seadom, though Arsenal might have to pay a huge amount of money if they are to get Toney.

Having said that, i don't think Arsenal should be too desperate for a striker, they have been scoring a lot of goals in the EPL lately, and if they are scoring nobody talks about a new striker, but on a day that they don't score, everyone talks about recruiting a new striker.

[coinlocket$]

It's still a rumor, right?

Yeah, still a rumor bouncing.

We have many great coaches free this summer, like Conte, Zidane, Tuchel and Nagelsmann for example.

This january Arsenal have been linked to several players just like Joshua Zirkzee and Ivan Toney but none of them who bought by Arsenal seems Arteta has telling the truth that last month he said Arsenal won't but new striker this January because they have not enough money to bought the player but indeed Arsenal almost get Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna even the rumour says Arsenal almost make a bid but Joshua Zirkzee has unique release clause which make Arsenal was unable to bought him from Bologna

Even so with Ivan Toney actually Brentford are willing to sell him but Brentford only want not less than 100 millions which Arsenal think this price is too expensive for Ivan Toney and for this summer i am sure Arsenal will give their priority to find new striker because Arteta confirmed front lines is being an Arsenal weaknesses in the last several season and Arteta too admitting one of the important factor why Arsenal was failed to gets Premier League trophy last season is because Arsenal have no sharp striker and this summer i am sure Arteta will bought at least 1 high quality striker to strengthen Arsenal squad however Arsenal might be will joining the race to gets Osimhen from Napoli

I think it was still January when I read that Arsenal were looking to invest heavily in that transfer window, at the time they were targeting Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, Ivan Toney from Brentford, and Evan Ferguson from Brighton... none of these contracts were completed.

Now, two months later they are again in a desperate search for a good striker... certainly prices have gone up and options have dwindled.

Just so you're aware, Chelsea is also interested in Ivan Toney, so if Arsenal still want him in their team, they'll have to fight for it.

There is a possibility that Xabi will become Tuchel successor next season, but for now Xabi seems to interpret Bayern interest as a disturbance to his team. As we can see, Xabi is focused on bringing Leverkusen to the Bundesliga trophy, Bayern interest could disrupt his team motivation to maintain their level of play for the remainder of this season.

The possibility is there and it is wise that he has chosen to want to remain focused on winning the Bundesliga with his current club than giving ears to these speculations that can be distracting. The season is not yet a done deal for Bayern Leverkusen so there is a need to remain focused. Maybe at the end of th season as well, we may still see these clubs that we expect to be the next place for Xabi, we may see them bring other experienced managers even from other clubs, it is difficult to predict because Xabi is not the only candidate for any availiable job opening.

Gunners are among the favorite team to win the English Premier League title this season, they just need time to make things work according to their plan this season. Perhaps an elite team like Gunners ought not to fail because everyone looks up to them to keep delivering consistent job. Wait a minute, are you saying Mikel Arteta doesn't have a complete squad for matches this season? The evidence we need is already lined out there, Gunners are in the race for the EPL title race this season, and watching them nailing tough and weak opponents in the EPL this season.

Talking about the good old days were we would watch Thierry Henry and Van Persie earning accolades st Emirate stadium due to the credibilities and ambitious goals to achieved, Gunners was among one of the very best team in EPL. Stop doing the comparison because Arsenal are entirely different from other clubs, I've watch them gaining good three points in matches and their defeats against Porto is merely a minor setback but that doesn't mean Mikel Arteta and his outstanding squad won't take the game serious, they will fight with everything they have to ensure they're back on track to face oppositions.

Sure, gabriel and nketiah were not even scoring in the last games. I don't know what's their main job, it's caused by they have no good performance. What i have seen that how they are being so wasteful. This is also making the situation even more difficult for arsenal. The club totally peg with some players like odegaard and martinelli.
It was making the situation even more difficult. Arsenal needs to find someone who is now capable enough in helping club to score. The club needs active striker and i think that arsenal is not having good good striker. The club needs to find a new solution as soon as possible.
I hope that everything will be alright for arsenal. Arsenal needs to buy new striker in summer transfer season. things are going very well. The club has been trying so hard to perform even better than before. The club used attacking midfielder and winger as its foundation to buy a proper attacker.
Im feeling so damn good with winger of arsenal. This thing is going perfectly right now without good striker. Arsenal needs to get its gooddays again. Im sure that many people aware about how poor the striker of arsenal is now.

At Lewandowski age, he's not the kind of striker Arsenal need at the moment to solve their striking issues because it's almost impossible for him to to still deliver the kind of performances he was having as at the time he was playing for Bayern Munich and that's why Victor Osimhen will definitely be a better option than Robert Lewandowski if Arsenal finds themselves in a situation that they would have to chose from any of the two strikers.

Lewandowski currently players for Barcelona but is very likely to leave the Catalan club at the end of the season but I don't think he'll be joining another European club because his current age and fitness level will not let him to manage the expectations that comes from playing in European football. The Poland striker have been linked to a transfer to the Saudi Arabian League at the end of the current season

I see Xabi Alonso as the favorite for Liverpool. There is no reason for Xabi Alonso to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Whether he makes Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga champions or not, I think he will go to a better team. Liverpool is one of the best options for him. Some people are creating Barcelona rumors about him but I think Liverpool is a more realistic rumor.

Liverpool management may target to hire Xabi Alonso as their next coach. But Bayern Munich also wants to target him as their coach for the next season. I think it won't be easy for Liverpool to ensure Xabi Alonso. Moreover, we have another rumor about the interest of Barcelona to try negotiating with Xabi Alonso. Well, it is not impossible because Xabi Alonso won't go to Real Madrid because Ancelotti still becomes the coach.

It is very interesting that many top teams are interested in Xabi Alonso. But I ever read an article that Xabi Alonso considers to stay with Leverkusen because he wants to achieve more titles with Leverkusen. So far, there is nothing clear about the future of Xabi Alonso. It depends on what his dream in the next season, whether to get new challenge in a new team or to stay with Leverkusen for more achievements.

Just so you're aware, Chelsea is also interested in Ivan Toney, so if Arsenal still want him in their team, they'll have to fight for it.

Ivan Toney only has a contract until June 2025. Brentford will find a way to keep this striker at all costs. However, it will be challenging to retain the English player in the future, especially when Ivan Toney is desperate to find a new, better quality place to compete for the title. Brentford stood by his side during difficult times, so Ivan Toney likely wants to stay until the end of the season to help the club avoid relegation. Ivan Toney has long been in the sights of many big players in the Premier League. From Arsenal, Man United, or Chelsea are ready to offer high prices to convince Ivan Toney to leave. Until Ivan Toney's fee is determined, Arsenal will still give this striker specific attention. If Brentford asks for 100 million pounds, Arsenal can abandon this deal.
Besides Toney, Victor Osimhen is also said to be the top target that Arsenal aims for.

If Arsenal should be able to get a sharp attacker like Vampersie of those days,then they must have gotten a complete squad.

Arsenal really needs an attacking player who must be able to really play well and be able to help in the attack line more sharply, so far there has been no attacking player who can make big contribution by becoming goal machine for Arsenal.
In the UCL competition, all team have their own mainstay attacking players who can really play very well and are able to become goal machines that can be relied on to win every match they play.
If only Arsenal could have attacking players like this then it is very likely that they would still have the opportunity to win the title every season, but they are team that is not as interested in bringing in great attacking players like some other team.

Napoli vs Barcelona draw was completely unpredictable and if you look at the line-up, each of them has mainstay player, such as Napoli has Osimhen and Barcelona has Lewandowski.
It just that for the UCL this season, Barcelona seems like team that is not too strong to be able to become strong competitor in the race for the title, they experienced quite significant setback and it all started with various defeats and draws in La Liga.

In fact, in the middle of this season, when the transfer market opens, it is an opportunity for every team to improve their squad by bringing in various players, but it seems that only few team are really busy in this mid-season transfer market.

Well, it is not impossible because Xabi Alonso won't go to Real Madrid because Ancelotti still becomes the coach.

Regarding last update from Fabrizio Romano about Xabi  Alonso transfers there are not any significant progress yet he will accepts offer as Liverpool or Bayern Munich manager. Both teams linked their interested for showing Xabi Alonso become their manager after leaving by previous manager but Alonso said he still as Bayern Leverkusen manager and he doesn't has any update to share with possibilities become Liverpool or Bayern Munich manager for next season.

Actually Xabi Alonso more prefer focus with his team right now Bayern Leverkusen get great achieving in this season become the winner, he doesn't get close more speculation will be Liverpool manager due Bundesliga has many matches left. Not only Liverpool but also Barcelona without manager for next season after leaving by Xavi Hernandez has announced their interested for signing Alonso and make interested which one teams success sign Alonso as manager.

Victor Oshime I think would be a little bit difficult to get right, he's after elevating his club, maybe during the transfer window we can take a good look at that, but him moving to Arsenal would make sense right now, they have all it takes in that team for him and all that matters now is for these winger's and midfielder's to work the ball and give to Victor Oshime.

For me personally, I feel like he is the perfect man to replace Didier Drogba, after Drogba and Diego Costa, Chelsea haven't really had a good number nine for them.
Benjamin Sesko and Evans Ferguson are player's in think won't blend in immediately into the team. The name Ivan Toney, I have come to be fond of this very season. He would fit in very well,but we have to consider his age.

Besides Toney, Victor Osimhen is also said to be the top target that Arsenal aims for.

He won't going anywhere, Toney is already a matured age, so it should be his peak performance in football career. However his peak performance isn't that good and Brentford will demand crazy amount of money to any club who interested to sign him, it makes other clubs better for looking other players.

Believe me, Mbappe will join Real Madrid and Osimhen will replace Mbappe's position in PSG.

If Arsenal should be able to get a sharp attacker like Vampersie of those days,then they must have gotten a complete squad.

Could be the reasons they've been chasing Dusan Vlahovic? They want to create almost the same squad like they had seasons ago?
Having no central forward I believe has to be correct,  they've been able to score goals in the premier league regardless but it'll be definitely difficult in the champions league.  We all saw Porto denying them that.
Arsenal should get Ivan Toney,  since they have some good sums to spend, they shouldn't splash off on the big man eith outrageous amount but he will do a better job than all these names I've seen.

For Victor Osimhen,  I was happy to see him returning from the African Cup of nations and scoring a goal just  to mark his register that he was present. Still not certain they'd win enough games to qualify for the Champions league,  now they have to work harder.
Robert Lewandowski has been able to score good goals and silenced the critics. He will also score again during the weekend against Getefe.

if the target is Dusan Vlahovic, it's still not ok. especially if it has to be redeemed at a high price. because Dusan Vlahovic is still not productive create goal. if Osimhen is bought from Napoli, it will be more stable because in addition to being productive, his body are very muscular, very suitable for playing in the English league as well as Drogba and Lukalu. and Osimhen is still young. currently still 25 years old.

DeZerbi is the main target of Liverlpool as coach after Klopp.

Klopp also will skip 1 year, he needs to rest.

When Klopp announced he was leaving Liverpool he said he was running out of energy. Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi have been mentioned in the press, but I think Steven Gerard could be Liverpool's manager in a surprise move. He is the manager of the club El Alliance but if he gets an offer from Liverpool I'm sure he would accept it anywhere in the world. He is a Liverpool legend. If the top managers like Xabi Alonso or Roberto De Zerbi don't come to Liverpool, he would come to Liverpool immediately.

Still just a rumor, we don't know for sure who will come next season after Jurgen Klopp's departure. Young coaches are now getting a lot of attention, we call it Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen who managed to perform well during this season, so that might be a consideration for Liverpool to sign him immediately.
Time is still long enough for Liverpool to consider everything, but they also have to move quickly because if they want to bring in a quality coach they will definitely have to compete with other teams who also want to bring him. I don't know who is the closest coach to Liverpool at the moment, maybe they are still conducting an internal aproach process to the coach they are interested in.

I think only Xabi shows great promise in this "young managers" camp, Gerrad failed at Villa and doesn't manage to improve on his new job as far as I know. Other than them, who else? Tuchel, Lampard? Eh, I don't think Lampard is gaining the right attention IMO. If a club has some common sense they wouldn't hire somebody just because people are hyping them up, they'd scrutinize their tactics, etc and decide whether they are suitable for them or not. As legendary as Gerrad was for Liverpool, I don't think hiring him is a good move, he needs to prove himself first IMO. They don't want to become another club with failed romanticism, do they?

Liverpool will not suffer but continue to excel in their EPL matches, a bold start for this elite team. Liverpool board have been working on the crucial replacement of their current coach, Jurgen Klopp is leaving and this is purely bad news for the Reds. But that doesn't mean they will relent but keep working on making the team remained formidable as they are this season and over the decades. Jurgen Klopp have clear his mind and he's keen on exiting Anfield. Liverpool will turn out to be like Napoli in Italian league because their prominent coach is leaving at the end of the season and this have become something to worry about.

Yeah Liverpool's players are mostly dominated by B class players, but they can perform because of Klopp. If Klopp left Liverpool, Liverpool will back to a mediocre team, just like Chelsea. Klopp isn't only become a manager in Liverpool, he's control everything. So if the new manager only work as manager's job desk, there will be a chaos since they need to change the system or the manager need to work hard like Klopp.
