⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

bruno Guimaraes can be sold by Newcastle this summer.

Many teams are on the player mainly Arsenal and Manchester City. The price tag for the player should be around €90m
Meanwhile Manchester United is increasing is interest on the Brazilian defender Bremer, actually in Juventus.
The price tag should be 65-70m€ for this one.

Manchester City would be interested, Arsenal are also rumoured to be interested in bringing the lad over, some fans have said he is too this and that but one thing they should have in mind is that it is not their personal used to purchase this lad and besides he is a quality midfielder' and would blend in well if they happen to sell of Thomas Partey next season

Manchester City asides him, also has plans for Jamal Musiala and Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United.

Bremer has been so solid for Juventus this season, bit the Premier League Competition would be much difficult andbi don't know how quickly he would settle in, but ye, Manchester United would need such a decent defender. I would love to see him patner up with Lisandro Martinez.

I am not excited by this appointment but I guess I will get behind him and support him.

Hm, I agree with you. I am not really sure what to think about that as I thought they would go for someone more established. Or someone who is more similar to the character of Jurgen Klopp. Klopp can be a volcano and he knew how to get the Liverpool fans heated up and going. I can't really have any prejudices though as I have no idea who this guy Arne Slot is except for the fact that he did well with Feyenoord. I am probably spoiled when it comes to coaches from the Netherlands as the first guy who comes to my mind is ten Hag and I think he is garbage as a coach.

[baeva]

It will be very interesting to see a new coach for the first time in a long time, especially after a pretty successful season. By successful I don't mean that they probably won't win the league, I mean that it's been an incredibly fruitful season, Klopp has built the squad very well and whether Liverpool can keep the bar set and perform even better next season is up to them

Liverpool was very close to winning the Premier League again this season, if a new coach joins them next season the expectations will be very high as the standards set by the present coach who is about to leave, and the new coach will be expected to win the premier league and the champions league. Some coaches may be scared at the high expectations, others intrigued by it that they will want the Job. There are quality players in Liverpool, if a new coach joins them, he will sell some players that he does not need in the team, and buy some players from other clubs, players that suite his style. With the many changes, it may be hard for Liverpool to win the premier league in the next season.

Objectively, Liverpool have 4 more matches left, the probability of things working out in such a way that they can win this season is extremely low even from a mathematical point of view. Arsenal still have a fighting chance if Manchester city lose a match or draw with someone. They still have a pretty good chance. Although Arsenal have tougher matches ahead of them than MC, I don't see a problem in winning, as they are stronger than all the opponents they will face at the moment

[QueenVera]

I understand the Man United coaching saga. No doubt, Ferguson's departure has been difficult. Ten Hag is a good manager who hustles, but they just don't click. I think the scouts and dealmakers upstairs need to level up. United needs someone who understands that shirt's history and potential. Someone like Zidane or Conte with a track record and tactical brain can turn things around. I hate to say it, but change may unlock this team's potential.

Ten Hag may not belong at United. In football. A manager may thrive in a different atmosphere with a staff that suits them. Finding where you make the most difference is more important than ego. Trying a fresh challenge may be preferable for everyone if he can't crack Man United's code or develop a unit that fights for every win. Change benefits everyone sometimes.

Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games.

 Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

 Zinedine Zidane would be a preferable option for them even as they're aimed towards bringing the history making boss to join the team next season. Yes, he said he's done with the managerial task with Madrid seasons ago but it won't be harmful either if he opts to play a role in the English team's growth. United themselves know how much of a good impact his presence would bring and so by all means necessary they'd want to bring the tactical boss to their side. At thesame time, watch how much of a positive difference he would make for the team. It'll testifyingly be the best decision they'd ever make though so far. But let's hold on to that whilst watching if they'd be able to make the boss join them.

bruno Guimaraes can be sold by Newcastle this summer.

Many teams are on the player mainly Arsenal and Manchester City. The price tag for the player should be around €90m
Meanwhile Manchester United is increasing is interest on the Brazilian defender Bremer, actually in Juventus.
The price tag should be 65-70m€ for this one.

According to his statistics bruno Guimaraes was played 32 times during this season which mean he was being an Newcastle key player because Eddie Howe was playing him for almost every matches in Premier League and actually Newcastle previously doesn't want to sell him because they feel bruno Guimaraes is important player for them but because Newcastle fear to gets FFP sanction so they were decide to sell Guimaraes and there are several clubs who showing their interest to Guimaraes such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United or even Liverpool

It says Newcastle demand 100 millions for Guimaraes and apparently Manchester United in the front line to gets Guimaraes and they looks very serious want bought him and this summer they will attempts to make a bid for Guimaraes and why Manchester United is really want this player because Ten Hag feel Guimaraes is very suitable as the replacement of Casemiro who possibly will leave Manchester United and go to Saudi Pro League besides that Guimaraes already know the atmosphere of Premier League so it's not difficult for him to adapt with Manchester United later

Although Arsenal have tougher matches ahead of them than MC, I don't see a problem in winning, as they are stronger than all the opponents they will face at the moment

Liverpool’s performances in their previous matches is the main reason why people gave up on them this season, if not they still have slim chance of winning the Premier League title just as Arsenal and Manchester City have.
Mathematically, if Arsenal and Manchester city can lose match while Liverpool win their next match, they will have another chance to see if they can win the Premier League title, but I don’t think Arsenal will afford to lose any match now. Manchester City and Arsenal will try everything possible to win almost all their remaining matches in the Premier League, but we all know that there is a tendency for any of them to drop point along the line, and anyone of them that drop point along the line, they should just say goodbye to the Premier League title this season.

Although Arsenal have tougher matches ahead of them than MC, I don't see a problem in winning, as they are stronger than all the opponents they will face at the moment

I agree that the chance for Liverpool to win EPL title is smaller now. Liverpool has wasted the chance for 3 points in 2 matches. They are defeated by Crystal Palace and Everton in the last 3 matches. I don't understand why Liverpool could lose full points in these matches. Liverpool may too underestimate their opponents, so they choose the wrong lineups on those matches.

Arsenal and Man City are competing for the title now. I think Man City has a better chance because they are more experienced team to deal with this situation. I just hope both Arsenal and Man City won't do the same mistake as Liverpool.

Anyway, this should be in EPL thread. 

It says Newcastle demand 100 millions for Guimaraes and apparently Manchester United in the front line to gets Guimaraes and they looks very serious want bought him and this summer they will attempts to make a bid for Guimaraes and why Manchester United is really want this player because Ten Hag feel Guimaraes is very suitable as the replacement of Casemiro who possibly will leave Manchester United and go to Saudi Pro League besides that Guimaraes already know the atmosphere of Premier League so it's not difficult for him to adapt with Manchester United later

The market value of Guimaraes is only around €85m. I think it is too expensive if Newcastle expects for €100m. Man United must think again if they want to sign Guimaraes with €100m. It is better to keep Casemiro than signing Guimaraes with €100m. Although Guimaraes is a top player, he still can't prove it with trophy in his current team.

I had way different candidates in my mind honestly. So I must say that I'm surprised to hear about Liverpool's choice. Arne Slot has had a good run with Feyenoord so far. However he doesn't have any Premier League history.

It is really difficult to predict what he can do with Liverpool for now as a result. It isn't easy to fill the space of a coach like Klopp. However I don't want to be prejudiced. There are some Dutch players in the squad too so maybe they can help Arne Slot adapt quicker.

Arne this season did a very good job at Feyenoord which might be a consideration that he could be a good replacement for Klopp but honestly for this time as long as I haven't seen him at Liverpool I am still quite doubtful about his abilities.
Honestly I rarely see the Eredivisie except for a few matches and indeed a good situation in the Eredivisie does not necessarily end well in the EPL because the competition is still quite different in terms of quality but indeed when Liverpool have made their choice then we only need to see if Arne can really be the answer for Liverpool next season.

In addition, talking about the coach, it is certain that this will also not be separated from the news of Salah because if I remember correctly Salah allows extending the contract if his position is guaranteed and he must know who his future coach is. Now the future coach has been answered for Liverpool. the question is whether Salah will continue to extend the contract or look for new club options where he is also still in demand by clubs in the SPL.

I think this decision so early by Liverpool to me is perfect, they were actually after Rúben Amorim the Sporting Lisbon manager but his signature is looking to be a headache for them as even the likes of West Ham United also interested, I love the way Liverpool switch which stretching much in there and possibly end up wasting their time. Arne Slot has done a great job at Feyenoord but he will definitely be under pressure to manage Liverpool. This is in no way associated to the reason that he hasn’t managed any premier league club before even the Klopp himself who left a legacy here came without any premier league experience with Dortmund his biggest club managed. But yet he delivered with the support he had.

So right now what Liverpool fans need is to give him their support and not put him under any early pressure for success it might be a bit tough at first because he also coming to meet a shattered team that needs rebuilding

[len01]

even though Ten Hag had to be fired, actually expecting Xavi to join Man United is impossible and maybe you missed the important news that Xavi will officially stay for another season with Barcelona.

No, I didn't miss that news. I have read and said that coach Xavi's choice to continue to stay in Barcelona was a mistake. Xavi forgot all the pain and pressure that Barcelona caused him. I'm afraid that pain will continue next season when Barcelona's situation is not optimistic. I'm sad for a talent like him, and I'm afraid Barcelona will ruin Xavi's life as a coach. He is both a good player and a talented coach. But his love for Barcelona trumped his wisdom. Let's take a look at the legendary coaches. The first thing to invite them to coach that team, of course, is to give him a considerable amount of money to spend on player purchases. Being a good coach, of course, requires having ace players in hand.

MU's opportunity to get Xavi is not yet over. Or recruit him and give him some money to buy players. It's just as simple as that. Let the talented Xavi take care of everything else.

however, this has been a wise decision that has been made by Xavi and in fact it is very sad to see that Xavi, a coach who is intelligent and has excellent skills in managing players on a popular team, has to continue to support himself in a team that can no longer develop due to problems. financial.
but what Xavi did this time should really open all Barcelona eyes to admit that Xavi should be respected and considered a hero for Barcelona.
the efforts that Xavi is currently making only feel depressed if he sees that Barcelona is going down the drain of losing such a reliable coach and decides to wait for Barcelona to get a new coach who is equal to Xavi.

Instead of having to wait for Xavi, Man United could still get another experienced coach and without me saying, we have all speculated that Man United would at least try to find an alternative like Mourinho.

[coinlocket$]

It is not yet clear which team Antonio Conte will be on next year.

Various rumors say he has done so at Napoli and many others still say he is in negotiations with Milan Juve Napoli and Manchester United.
He will probably go to Napoli but according to others Napoli is closing for Pioli who will almost certainly leave Milan.

It's fun to be a sports journalist, you can say news and maybe faking them without anyone being able to say anything against you.

[Queentoshi]

Instead of having to wait for Xavi, Man United could still get another experienced coach and without me saying, we have all speculated that Man United would at least try to find an alternative like Mourinho.

The coach Mourinho may not be interested in becoming the coach of Manchester United because he has already had a taste of the premier League and may be more interested in trying other leagues where he will not have to go through much stress.
Manchester United can seek and consider options from other clubs, coaches who are doing well and are willing to take the job to return Manchester United to successful ways.
Arne Slot from Feyenoord will become the coach of Liverpool from next season, Manchester United can start looking for choices now.

I don't think Liverpool have a big interest in Amorim considering his tactical display is quite different to how Liverpool have been building tactical foundation. Amorim likes to play 3 Center Back at the back line, while Liverpool don't play that way. If Liverpool hire Amorim, they will need to rebuild this tactical foundation, and this will cost the academy players who have been developing with that Liverpool's tactical foundation.

Arne Slot suits Liverpool comfortably with his ability to build a squad at Feyenoord and develop it to the top achievement. He has energic gesture and speaks english fluently. These are some important criteria to be Klopp successor. Anyone replacing Klopp will be under pressure to match what Klopp has achieve, and he will inherite a great squad, unlike Klopp, when he came to Liverpool, inherited an average squad.    

[temple]

If I understand his statements correctly, he is not going to extend his initial contract, but he revoked his decision to terminate the contract early. So in concrete terms he will stay until 2025 and if you think about it, an extension wouldn't have made any sense for any of the parties involved. Xavi is going for that year, I guess he sees potential in the team especially with the two younger guys who are playing as if they were part of the team for half a decade by now. And at the end of the next season he is in the position to choose whatever he wants. He might get offers from other clubs and at the same time, if  he plays a successful season, he can ask for a better contract with Barcelona. But still I think it is like kindergarten to announce you are going to step down because you freak out at a press conference (he also said that there is no going back from that decision) and now everyone is friends again.

From what I have heard from various news and rumours, Xavi is no longer interested in extending his contract with Barcelona. And so far this seems to be the most convincing.

Xavi became Barcelona's coach at a time when the team was in dire straits. Koeman turned this team into rubble. Barcelona had to fight hard to win even against weaker teams. After Xavi became the coach, Barcelona's performance became much more stable and Barcelona also won the La Liga title. Barcelona had a fantastic performance last season. But this season the condition of the team is not good. Their performance is erratic.

Barcelona must now rebuild the team. This squad is neither strong nor experienced enough. Barcelona need a more experienced coach as well as bigger funds to strengthen the squad.

Couldn't agree more, Koeman was a huge mistake and I never liked him in any regard whatsoever. I didn't like his coaching, I didn't like his interviews and I didn't like his attitude altogether. He made weird player choices and he never really fully connected with the team, at least that was my perception. But anyway, part of the truth is that the team fell apart and it wasn't possible for them to replace all these stars that worked so well hand in hand. When you lose Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar, Messi, Suarez, and many others that were an integral part of this amazing team when they were in their prime, I think any coach taking over would have an incredibly hard time to be as successful as before. Therefore, Xavi was doing ok, but I don't consider him one of the best coaches despite winning La Liga.

It's not about manchester united but it's about how united's management does even treat him so well. Did you remember that when mourinho gave united europa league but he has been sacked by the club easily and it was also making mourinho learns if he shall not go there anymore. Especially, mourinho was also rarely linked to this club which means that if the club is not performing quite well this season. The better for newcastle to sign mourinho rather than other coach. Mu has been listing its own candidate soon. It means that if clubs are trying so hard in making the situation even better than before. I strongly believe that mourinho has prepared a plan to continue his career

Manchester United can seek and consider options from other clubs, coaches who are doing well and are willing to take the job to return Manchester United to successful ways.
Arne Slot from Feyenoord will become the coach of Liverpool from next season, Manchester United can start looking for choices now.

It's sometimes really questioning me what's the main point to not take mourinho as a coach consider he has a bunch of experiences in coaching the club. he has helped roma to win the trophy after a few decades without trophy. It's really questioning me at this time.
I meant that if this is also the main problem owned by the club too.

When compared to other coaches, Mourinho is indeed a quite successful coach with Man United after the era of Sir Alex Ferguson. He did fail to win the Premier League trophy or even the Champions League but he managed to get the Community Shield, League Cup, and Europa League trophies. That may not be considered an achievement with high prestige, but at least these 3 trophies are enough to make the owner of Man United smile, especially since Mourinho won it in his first season.

It was quite difficult for Mourinho to continue to stay with Man United because he had conflicts with the players and officials and it seems like the Man United Board doesn't really like Mourinho's style of play and strategy.

[shinratensei_]

Mauricio Pochetino don't forget isba failed manager, who couldn't win nothing with Lionel Messi, Neymar Junior and Kylian Mbappe as Paris Saint German Manager.

Mauricio Pochettino titles won when he was PSG coach:

1X French Champion

1X French Cup Winner

1X French SUPER Cup Winner

source: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauricio-pochettino/erfolge/trainer/9044

Many people criticize Pochettino, but before Pochettino there were good coaches at Chelsea who were fired, so what is wrong with Chelsea? because chelsea has been making ridiculous signings since the times of mourinho that chelsea started to fall, that's because in mourinho's time he added a lot of african players and made chelsea have a different style of play than what people were used to see, a style of play in which the most important thing was not to play well, but to come out of the game winning and when Chelsea weren't achieving good results, they fired Mourinho and other coaches who came to Chelsea, they didn't have much time to make big changes in the team. team that could create a good way for Chelsea to play, on the contrary, Chelsea's problems got worse because after Mourinho's departure they started making strange signings and spending a lot of money

Chelsea needs coaches like Xabi Alonso who can get good results even with teams that don't have big budgets, if Chelsea had managed to hire the Feyenoord coach for a long-term project, something like 5 years, they would have made a better choice at that time. but liverpool is already close to closing a deal with the Feyenoord coach.

There's nothing special from pochettino's trophies above. Those trophies are coming from the french competitions which is far easy compared to the other league competitions. Don't you forget how PSG totally owns the league even since a few years ago? So, are you blaming mourinho for this? Look at how many trophies given by mourinho to the chelsea.
You can also compare his contributions to the chelsea which is still remain the biggest one to the chelsea. Incapability owned by other coaches shall not become his responsibility. Blaming him was not even the right thing.

You're right about Mourinho and United. He won some trophies, but it wasn't all roses. Remember player conflicts? The boardroom fights over team management? I understand why he wouldn't want to return to that shark tank if things went wrong

The time has come for United to experiment. Liverpool signing Arne Slot is huge. It suggests large teams are finally looking outside the usual suspects for new blood, and United should join them. Someone like Slot, a knowledgeable, exciting manager, may help them get out of this rut. This is about finding someone who fits now, not rehashing prior relationships. United needs a coach who can handle pressure, unite the team, and create a long-term vision

Therefore, Xavi was doing ok, but I don't consider him one of the best coaches despite winning La Liga.

If Barcelona appoints a new manager to their club and if they can give the new manager financial freedom then maybe the manager can do well in the transfer market by signing several players with Barcelona but it is very difficult for a new manager to do well with the current team. Xabi is a Spanish footballer and he is a former Barcelona player and he has been able to perform quite well with this team. All the players under him are very used to Xabi's tactics, so if a new manager is appointed now, the team's performance may be worse because of that manager's different tactics. Maybe considering all these aspects, Barcelona extended the contract with Xabi for one more season. Although the contract period has been extended till 2025, this period can be extended later.
