⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Coyster]

He's facing a tough time ahead, but there's still a chance for him to come back stronger and better. Otherwise, this might be the end of Paul Pogba's football career. After four years, he won't be involved in football anymore. It's sad to think we might lose one of the most talented midfielders.

This is a very sad period for Paul Pogba and those who are close to him, though he has said today that he is definitely going to appeal the decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sports, and if he wins the appeal he might see his suspension reduced or completely overturned. Having said that, if Pogba fails in his appeal and the ban stands, that is prolly the end of his professional football career, he is already 31 years of age, and i can't imagine the club that would offer him a contract four years from now.

Yes there are speculation is in Media that ETH will be leaving Manchester United after this season. Though nothing is certain at the moment. But if Manchester United sack ETH and go for Graham Potter then I think Manchester United is making a grave mistake, just like Chelsea did with Potter. Manchester United is a big club who are used to winning trophies and bringing an average coach won't help them revive anytime soon. There are good coaches out there that they can go for. Antonio Conte won't be a bad option for them if you ask me.

if MU chooses Potter to replace Ten Hag, it won't be much different. what happened was a repeat of this season's poor performance, even when this rumor circulated, many fans and observers already condemned the rumor. Maybe they think that next season if that happens MU will perform worse.
Club management must open their eyes if they want the club to achieve success. Not only bringing in good players, but the coach is the main key to whether the team will play well or not.

Managers linked to Manchester United:
Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi
Zinedine Zidane, and now Potter. .
Why can it go from good to bad in just one day? Chelsea will laugh at United. lol

Manchester United still has some players with big egos, so United needs a strong manager who has experience working in a hostile environment and will deal with egos. Potter doesn't work well in big clubs. Potter is a small club coach.
And I don't think Sir Jim Ratcliffe will decide things alone.
That's why he gathered people like Omar Berrada and Ashwort.

This is a very sad news for the star player who has not really injoyed playing football for a very long time since moving from Manchester United to Italy to play for Juventus, I think it is very difficult for Pogba to escape the 4 years ban since he's contract with Juventus has been terminated because they believe that the information is true without supporting the player to get the right justice or even helping him to appeal faster hoping to get a reduced ban or bee cleared from all the allegations against him but they left him to fight alone very sad. Looking at the age of Pogba he's not yet 31 he is currently 30years now even if he's to serve the 4 years ban he will be 34years when he returns to football I believe he will be free from injury ad he can still be signed by good club or he will probably go to Saudi Arabia where he will likely make more money and play more easy football too but that's if he will be willing to play again after all the pains he's going to face in the 4 years ban.

Coach is the key to a squad because there is motivation and how the coach takes care of the players performance, and the skills that the coach is supposed to use should be different if they want Manchester United performance to be back. I observe that they are not ready to change their manager, even with the tough time this season, so in my opinion, even if they change some of their players or spend money on players, if they don’t have a good manager, there is no way the team will be back because their manager is the main problem for Manchester United, from my own view. However, I don’t think Manchester United are going to choose Porta over Erik Ten Hag. If they do, I think it is just as if they take the team to where they were performing poorly last season because Manchester United's performance this season is better than last season.

BREAKING:

Pogba has been banned from football for four years because of doping. It's really unfortunate how he ruined his career at the theater of nightmares.

He's facing a tough time ahead, but there's still a chance for him to come back stronger and better. Otherwise, this might be the end of Paul Pogba's football career. After four years, he won't be involved in football anymore. It's sad to think we might lose one of the most talented midfielders.

A four-year suspension at 30 is hard to imagine. Its hard for any footballer to return at 34, especially in the top division of European football. His will to fight back is questionable. I think he should embrace this hard truth and maybe look beyond playing. Consider the suspension and the mental and physical toll this absence may take on him. I've seen players recover from less, but this? This is huge. The whole issue makes you question athletes' decisions and pressure. Despite the odds, I hope Pogba finds a path ahead, whether in football or otherwise.

This is sad one to read truly. Four years ban from ala football activities is crazy. There is more than one side of every story, and I'd love to read and hear whatever Paul Pogba would have to say before I criticize him.
Till date and whenever, he'll always be one of my favorites footballers and I'm so fond of the french international. I defend him countless occasions like he is my brother.

I see he will be making advances further in the court of law to appeal for this ban, one thing I do hope for is for everything to go well in his favor. Roo much of these black players are always targeted, what's with the others?

Seriously I was not happy with the outcome of This sanction it seems too hefty to me, when the whole investigation started it was actually said that a two years ban was all that was going to be sanctioned on him and now we are at four after also wasting one good year for the investigation, he will be turning 31 next month and that leaves him to at least 35 before he plays again. From indications it seems Pogba did took something to induce his pain before the game and that’s bad and corrupt but the charges is just too heavy.

I could remember Onana facing similar case that ended his Ajax Carrier and it was a mistake by him because according to the findings later it was revealed that he actually took his wife pregnancy drug mistaken it for a malaria drug and his sanction later was reduced after his Ajax contract had expired. I hope Pogba gets same treatment and hopefully it was not a deliberate act.

He is also my favourite player too. To me he is someone that is close to a complete midfielder to me but he messed something that was supposed to be a beautiful Carrier due to his life style. A less social Pogba will have conquered the world and go on to be one of the greats due to his talent, ability and skills

Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi
Zinedine Zidane, and now Potter. .
Why can it go from good to bad in just one day? Chelsea will laugh at United. lol

I don't think Man United has a chance to sign Zinedine Zidane. Man United already tried to sign him, but Zidane refused it.

Potter? do you mean Graham Potter? What is special with this manager? I don't think he is suitable to the manager of Man United. He failed in Chelsea, I think Man United management won't consider him as the candidate for Man United next manager.

Roberto De Zerbi is linked to Barcelona. I don't know whether is a rumor only or not. But if Barcelona makes an offer to him, he must prefer to choose Barcelona over Man United.

I think Man United only has 2 options, Tuchel or Nagelsmann. I think Tuchel should be a better option for Man United next coach.

Manchester United still has some players with big egos, so United needs a strong manager who has experience working in a hostile environment and will deal with egos. Potter doesn't work well in big clubs. Potter is a small club coach.

Agree. Graham Potter seems hard to handle those players with big egos. They need a charismatic manager who can deal with egoistic players. Actually, Zidane should be the ideal coach to deal with that kind of players.

Damn I wanted to see him perform again but the problem came because of his doping case.

Even if Paul Pogba appeals against the whole suspension he has been in poor football form in recent seasons due to injuries so I'm not so sure he'll be optimal if he gets off scot-free.

Pogba's professional career might be ruined or is this his own doing? It's like he was undisciplined in the use of drugs so he was caught by the football federation.

So far, I haven't exactly followed United's future developments along with the names of potential replacement coaches for Erik Ten Hag. although I'm not sure whether this news is true or not. however, recently, it seems like Ten Hag's future with United is in question. some of the ones you mentioned might be suitable to handle Man United. like Zinade for example, it is possible that Thomas Tuchel is more suitable and capable of leading United than when he managed Bayern Munich. because the coach's problem is not only about repetition, but whether he is suitable or not will also be a problem, IMO. several other names such as Nagalesmann are potential young coaches, but it seems that he is not suitable to manage United with the condition of his players. De Zerbi, I have doubts about this coach even though he is quite good at managing Brighton. As for Potter, it seems he is more suited to managing a mid-table team.

Of all the names mentioned, IMO, I'm sure none of these coaches will become United coaches, let alone Zinedine Zidane. as you say, United have some players with big egos. plus, the lack of discipline of the United players. in fact, Ten Hag is known as a strict coach. Well, whoever United coach replaces Ten Hag, if they are unable to fix United's main problems, it is doubtful they will be able to bring United to its glory days. moreover, IMO, this season the situation is not at all in Ten Hag's favor. starting with conflicts between players and coaches, disciplinary problems, key players being injured and most crucially mental problems. Well, I wonder what Sir Jim Ratcliffe will do in making his decision.

Honestly, that's sucky, bro I am so sad that Paul Pogba will ban from football. 4 years is too much he is already 30 years old which means that he will not be able to play until 2027 after which the ban will be completed, and when he returns, Paul Pogba will be turned into 35. I am so sad that he will not be in the world of football. He is a very good and talented player. His style of play is joyous to watch but unfortunately, he will not be able to even play a single match of football until 4 years later, in 2027. After his ban, Paul Pogba will be 35 and no club will offer him a contract even possibly Juventus could also terminated his contract because they have already They reduce his salary and if he spends 4 years banned, there will be no chance to sign him again for Juventus.
 
I heard NEWS that Paul Pogba is going to appeal against the case maybe be possibly the court could reduce his suspension so maybe 2 and a half years. But this case is serious, and there is no more ways to get the chance of getting back.

Oh Fuck!

For the case of Real Madrid Endrick and Kylian Mbappe, to have nothing to worry, rather they'd both work together very well for the club. It'll be hell for whoever Real Madrid faces next season.

I'm shock that some people are shock to receive this news but I was even thinking judgement has been pass for him and that's why we haven't heard anything from him. I never knew brother case was still under investigations which I first see at Fabrizio Romano page, it seems bro career is going to end here because I don't k ow which club that is going to have back an ex convict that didn't follow the fifia rules and regulations

This is might be tough one for the fans and the close pals but it's a lesson that most of of them need to lewrn from, just because yonare having a shiny moment but underground they do dopping, they should continue until one day when they don't expect them to be caught, that's when they will be pick and tested. If Fifa should investigate thoroughly, it's possible to have many of these players doing the same.

Luis Enrique said he doesn't know who Rafa Leao Is  .

Besides that's should be a big lie do you think they are interested on him?

He is a French players so he must be a good fit to take Mbappè spot.

[KTChampions]

Talking about Xabi Alonso, as I said before I don't think they allow him to leave the team easily. In fact, Leverkusen got awesome results so far with Xabi Alonso, and obviously, any team will try hiring this Spanish coach but Simon Rolfes, the managing director of Leverkusen started talking about their coach.
Teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even Real Madrid are currently linked to Xabi Alonso but Simon Rolfes said there are many news and rumors in the market about any coach or player but it doesn't mean all this news is true.

The compensation is quite small (compared to the compensation paid for football players), so any top club will easily hire Xabi if there is mutual interest. The question is what he will choose. I would be interested to see him in Liverpool, there is room to grow there and there is a hegemon that needs to be overthrown (almost like Bayern haha). If Xabi goes to Bayern, it will be boring - I think he will easily win the Bundesliga 5 times in a row, the only interest will be how successful he will be in the Champions League. I wouldn't want everything to be so boring.

I'm any of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich really want Xavi Alonso, I don't think there's much Bayer Leverkusen can do to stop the deal from happening. The deal won't happen only when Xabi Alonso himself says he's not going.

I saw reports a few days ago that Xabi Alonso and Bayern Munich have agreed on a deal. I don't know how true that is. The idea of coaching either Madrid or Munich is too enticing it would take so much more to keep him at Leverkusen.
I would prefer him to stay at Leverkusen for a longer period. I want him to play the Champions League with Leverkusen so he can get the Champions League experience in a team he built before going to a bigger team.

Alonso is a good coach, but I don't think he has been tested. The pressure of coaching a team like Madrid is much greater than coaching Leverkusen. If he loses the league to Munich this season with Leverkusen, he won't get the same backlash he'd get if it was Madrid. He needs to understand the pressure that comes from a Madrid or Bayern Munich job before making his decision.

He is a French players so he must be a good fit to take Mbappè spot.

If you look at Rafael Leao statement where he said that he would stay with AC Milan for a long time. so there is no chance for another team to sign him in the summer transfer window. Although his decision may change but I think he got everything he wanted in AC Milan. Moreover, he is the player with the highest salary in the AC Milan squad and he is always the first choice in every match, therefore I believe he will stay with AC Milan for a long time.

It is true that several big teams are starting to look at a number of players to become their targets in the summer window. Even for PSG, they want to find the right replacement for the position left by Mbappe because Mbappe is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid after it was reported that he had reached a verbal agreement. Thus, the summer transfer market will be quite hot due to the transfer of star players from one team to another.

He's facing a tough time ahead, but there's still a chance for him to come back stronger and better. Otherwise, this might be the end of Paul Pogba's football career. After four years, he won't be involved in football anymore. It's sad to think we might lose one of the most talented midfielders.

There's this question that keep popping in my head anytime I come across news linking to Paul Pogba. During the Frenchman time in Manchester United, did he involved in doping? We can't never tell because he was so good on the pitch and play with possession of strength. It's terrible and disappointing to see Paul Pogba convicted for doping in football. Why will the player in question take in drug when he's fully aware of the repercussions if caught in the act. Paul Pogba football is crashing down gradually. Giving him four years suspension from all rounds of football. Its pure conviction for Paul Pogba.

Juventus might terminate his contract. Football is not for the weak, it's mainly build for the strong and they're the only ones that survive and excelled in football world. Paul Pogba cases is detrimental and other players that are hiddenly anticipating in doping will stop. I was thinking for FIFA to reduce the years, despite Paul Pogba been faulty but I'm a fan of the Frenchman. He was so good with the ball when he was playing for Manchester United, enjoyed every moment watching him on the pitch, incase where he's present to give crucial passes.

This is no doubt, a major blow to his career. This would have a telling effect on his future in football: that is if there’s going to be any when his match ban is lifted.
I saw this news while going through Twitter earlier and I thought this would be really damaging. Saw an old video of when he was at Man United and got random roping tests just after getting off the field from a game. I had thought that perhaps, he was suspected then.

After four years, I don’t know if he would make a comeback or if he even could. Could this be appealed in the hopes of getting a lesser punishment?

Xabi Alonsi to Liverpool would literally set the premier league as well as other leagues this great team will play in, on fire. He would make Pep and Ten and Arteta go back to the board just to think of new tactics to use in winning Liverpool. It really makes sense because to keep up the performance and current moral of the team, no better person to thank than the manager, Klopp.

Too bad he has his mind set on leaving, but only a great coach like Klopp can maintain the team and possibly do better. Otherwise, we might see a decline in the squad performance, which means other teams still has better chances of toppling the giant that Liverpool has turned out to be.

Sometimes I wonder why players that are referred to as professionals acts awkwardly in some cases, like are we going to say he doesn't know the implications of doping? Of course they're aware of the consequences but yet they seem so adamant about it. Imagine being banned from football activities for good 4 years, isn't that the end of his career? I do wonder if some players actually feel like they're too big for them to commit offense regardless of the repercussions. It's really a sad news for the France international maybe rather than being idle he can go join a basketball team and start playing basketball because I don't think he would still be in a good fit when he returns after four years.

Pogba has just said that he is going to appeal, there are more to what is reported by Fifa but guess what. Just cheked Fabrizio page On X regarding Pogba doping and I can't find any tweets again, could it be that he deleted it or there are things that we are not seeing. I think this issue is clearly more than what we think because in the other tweets Fabrizio posted about Pogba, he clearly says they area about to ruin his career and he has never done any substance to boost his body in any form.

That dude shouldn't have left Manchester United in the first place but what do I know, if he is not happy with Erik then I don't think he owes anyone as a free agent but the fact that this was done and quick could also be a set up but since he said he is going to appeal, let's see what the future hold for him if he is going to win.
