⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I do not know about the managerial career of him. I know that he was a very good defender back in the day. I also know that he is currently the coach of Burnley. And Burnley just got relegated. So I do not think it is going to be a very wise idea to actually get him as the coach of Bayern Munich. They should look for someone who has already been able to prove himself. And I do not think he is that guy.

You know, he has not coached big clubs so far. The first somewhat big club or decent club that he has actually taken up the coaching job for Burnley and they got relegated this season. So I do not think Munich should consider him as an actual candidate. I think Munich will be better off with the coach that they have right now instead of getting Kompany.

Pochetino and Chelsea next season will be hot.He tried towards the end of the season,trying to come to play European football.Chelses is one team that is supposed to be like Arsenal because they are full of young talents.Almost all of them are age brackets,so they should be able to do well and qualify for champions league football.I will look at where they will finish next season,and if they can finish in the top four,the Pochetino will be the real man for the job,but for now,if he is to stay,he must prove to them that he can take these boys to champions league next season.

One of the most successful transfers of this season's transfer window can be said to be between Mbappe and Real Madrid. The rumors have been going on for a long time and Real Madrid have been unable to complete a deal with Mbappe despite the prospect of a deal being very strong several times but it happened this season. Mbappe is the best player and Real Madrid is the best among European clubs. When a best player goes to a best club, the individual performance of that player will be good as well as the team performance of the club. Mbappé is going to win a big tournament next season and maybe he will have a good chance of winning the Ballon d' personally.

Madrid wait has finally been realized after a long period of speculation between Madrid and Mbappe, in recent seasons Mbappe has continued to be linked with Madrid and as you said even before Madrid was only one step away from getting Mbappe but what happened instead was that Mbappe chose to stay in the PSG after he got many privileges from PSG, the money and facilities offered by PSG at that time changed Mbappe steps so that in the end Madrid only got a very big disappointment, all this time Madrid kept trying and did not give up on getting so this season and they finally got it for free.

Honestly, the thing that irritates me the most is PSG all this time, all this time PSG continue to hope for Mbappe to stay at the club even though they know that he really wants to leave and even PSG refused very big money at that time, whether stupid or too rich but what is clear is that PSG prefer to release mbappe for free rather than get a lot of money,  At the moment of course PSG have suffered a big loss because they have to lose players who are worth almost $200 million.
With the joining of Mbappe to Madrid of course next season Los Galaticos will have quite great squad depth and of course their front line will be a very dangerous attacking line for teams in La Liga and Europe in my opinion.

I definitely appreciate Mbappe's decision because if he didn't make the right decision this season and if he stayed at PSG because of the money, it would have been the biggest mistake for him. Because in other seasons he stayed at PSG even after negotiating with Real Madrid and Real Madrid waited for him but if he had rejected Real Madrid's offer this season then Real Madrid would not have waited for him. If he could not have gone to Real Madrid, he would not have had a personal achievement as well as a team achievement next to his name. Mbappé has realized something that we realized long ago, but I would say he definitely made the right decision to come to Real Madrid.

Don't be too happy with it. The future of Poch in Chelsea is still uncertain at the moment after i was reading some news said that if boehly dislike him. I meant that the club is still reviewing his performance this season. Chelsea could still sack him. As far as I know, Chelsea's owner behaves like a dictator and this is the main problem owned by chelsea.

Poch requests that management give him more freedom in developing his dream club which is getting disallowed by todd boehly. The future of Poch may be decided tomorrow. Let's see what happens to him. Im hoping him to stay but the worst thing can happen anytime.

It would be extremely unfortunate if Chelsea fired him after he had made slow progress again. I'd prefer to keep him for another season. Tod Boehly is at the root of Chelsea's problems.

Todd is a loyal owner, which is true, but it is because he is willing to transform Chelsea into a business club rather than a club that is constantly winning competition.

Chelsea experienced a decline in their performance and quality as title contenders after the change of ownership, Chelsea's current demise began to become something surprising after previously they continued to be at the top of the rankings, the change of coach from Tuchel to Pochettino certainly gave great hope for fans to see the revival of Chelsea, but this season Chelsea actually experienced a fairly difficult journey even to reach the Conferrence League on In the middle of this season, but slowly Pochettino was able to lift Chelsea game performance to be even better even though it was quite late but finally Chelsea were able to end this season to be able to play in European competition next season.

So far we know that Chelsea rely on experienced players and often they spend a lot of money to buy star players, but for now it seems that Chelsea are starting to turn their project into a long-term project by recruiting young players, I think now Chelsea are starting to build the same team foundation as Arsenal which is relying on young players and it is evident if Chelsea start targeting many young players to be recruited in The transfer market,  like the agreement that has happened between Chelsea and Estavao Willian now.

After previously being linked with Bayern Munich, now the latest news links Ronald Araujo with Aston Villa and maybe this could be a real solution for Barcelona to get fresh funds in the summer. Barcelona's financial problems will never be resolved as long as they do not sell their players at high costs and therefore they must do so if there are offers from other clubs.

Araujo is overpriced, his market value is 75 Million Euros, while he play like shit. He made a fatal mistake for giving dirty tackle against PSG in early minutes, which result in red card and that's the reason why Barcelona lose against PSG.

If Aston Villa want to sign Araujo, they need to make sure that they only spend up to 40 Million Euros, higher than that it's overpriced.

The price is too expensive for a defender who often makes important mistakes and this cannot be justified. I think it is true that his market value exceeds Araujo's quality and perhaps it could be said that he should not get that much market value.

Maybe Aston Villa knows they won't be in Barcelona's game if they are interested in recruiting Araujo and they have to negotiate properly if they don't want to feel cheated by Araujo's quality. However, sometimes Aston Villa certainly sees something good in Araujo despite the mistakes he made and that again, if Barcelona persist in asking for a large fee then this transfer will be close to failure.

Keeping someone that barely has over 50% win rate in his managerial career so far in Chelsea? thats crazy. In fact, he only maintained 51% win rate with the club because Chelsea has a decent squad to begin with. If you let him handle a club ranging from 8th to 14th place, he would have less than 50% win rate for sure. Obviously unless Chelsea has someone better than him right now, there is no reason to boot him out yet

Mauricio Pochettino has made quite poor and good decisions for Chelsea this season. The coach should not only share the blame for the poor performance of the team but also the owner, Todd Boehly for failing to recognize potential talents and signing average players.

Look at Arteta during his first season, there were huge challenges and the vast majority of Arsenal fans chanted him out but today, look at the tense improvement in the Emirate stadium for the Gunners. They've been consistently following up Manchester City for the EPL title race and there's hope and opportunity for them again next season.

This is not going to be possible anymore because Pochettino has been sacked by Chelsea. Sky sport has reported that Mauricio Pochettino leaves Chelsea by mutual consent after just one season in charge. I do not see this as a surprise because Pochettino did not convince the fans and the board that he was the right man for the job. Without Cole Palmer this season, Chelsea were not able to win games and they receive alot of disgraceful scoreline from their opponents that they have not received before. All season Chelsea were playing like a mid table team and not like a top 6 team that they are. Chelsea has alot of young players and they need a very good coach that can help them to build their talents and become top players.it was a good decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino.

Toni Kroos has announced his retirement from football after EURO 2024 competition, his club side Real Madrid confirmed his decision today 21-05-2024.

Toni Kroos who is currently playing for Real Madrid was signed into the club in 2014 at the sum of €25million and ever since then he has remained Madrid's most valuable central midfielder and has shown a lot of commitment to the Madrid team and has won about 22 trophies while playing for the team but the German international footballer is just 34 years so i wonder why he chooses to retire at this time when he still have more years that he can still cope to play perfectly before age comes up with him but however, no matter the reason for his decision, it ought to be respected so i wish him well in other endeavors of life after his retirement.

Awwww maaaaaan! I really hoped to see his later years as well, I knew that his time at Real Madrid was coming to an end, it was obvious that they got so many midfielders to get themselves ready for when Kroos and Modric leaves, so it was about time but I assumed he would be like at Saudi league or something to make it possible for us to see him dominate once again, he would turn the clock back and be a superstar there again.

In any case, I thank him for many years of joy he brought, along with Modric of course, those two were amazing and they definitely showed the world how two midfielders should be and they did their best, winning so many league titles and champions leagues together. I hope we can say good bye with another one.

Anyone who expected Pochettino to stay at Chelsea after this season is either they didn't pay attention to what that guy actually presented to the team this season or they aren't a fan of the club who love mocking Chelsea and trolling their poor performance or the person doesn't watch most of Chelsea match at all. If not for the fact that Chelsea has done a lot of mistakes by sacking some coaches during the half way season, he should have left before now because I don't see any difference between him and Lampard.

They literally slept in the 10th place for weeks before they digress to where they are, win matches with a lot of attention especially when they met with Manchester City but loss what would have bring them to the top of the table and all Pochettino has to say is the team this and that, the team is trying to do this, they tried their best but every time nothing works meanwhile Palmer was there to utilize all this while but he didn't until it in the end but it was too late. He should go and never come near any English league again.

I don't see any reason for Chelsea letting Pochettino go, he might not have got them to the top 4 as expected due to some circumstances of which any real Chelsea fan knows why, but then finishing in an Euro league spot is not bad for the team. It took Pochettino till almost the end point of the league to figure out the problem and fix it and even took them to the position they finish which wasn't expected by lots of fans. If you noticed many of his players started to understand his game plan and began to perform at their best, such players with same gameplan and additional players to the squad could've helped Chelsea secure a Champions league spot but a new coach with new gameplan might take them back to their previous state which would be very bad for the players and club entirely. I think those are the things Todd Boehly should've considered instead of wanting to terminate his contract, Poch needs a 2nd chance.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Chelsea are a crazy club man. Pochettino was starting to get Chelsea looking like a good team again. He wasn’t responsible for most of the signings that haven’t gone that well. I think they should have given him time.

And now I see that the Ipswich manager is favourite to take over?

Crazy, crazy club.

Gossip: Postecoglou wants three summer signings

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c722xejky53o

That is a good decision. The player is 25 years old. He can still be a very good asset for any team that he actually goes to in my opinion. I think at this day and age where it is very hard to get a decent player without spending a fortune, he is a player that a team could look at without spending too much. But with all the top-level teams that are interested in him,  it is very much possible that his value is going to be higher. At least higher than what the teams expected to be initially.

But again, the player is about to enter his prime if you look at his age. So I think if the player ends up performing well, the investment is going to be worth it.

Pochettino has officially parted ways with Chelsea, ending a tumultuous season, and that has been confirmed on the club website. Club officials saw Pochettino performance from a different direction, the man from Argentina had been equipped with an expensive squad, but failed to bring home the trophy. Besides that, Pochettino could not convince the club officials by bringing Chelsea to finish in 6th place in the standings, it was not enough for save his job, and once again the club officials saw that a ticket to the Confederation League was not worth the budget they spent in the transfer market. Pochettino ultimately had to part ways, after being evaluated by club officials.

Chelsea started with a poor performance, almost inconsistent throughout the season, fortunately towards the end of the season Chelsea experienced improvement, which ultimately led them to finish in the Confederation League zone. Meanwhile, Pochettino dismissal did seem unfair, because many assumed that Chelsea would retain Pochettino, at least for the next season. The policy has been taken, Chelsea management will enliven the transfer window to look for a new successor to replace Pochettino. There is no news yet about who will replace Pochettino next, but the club must ensure that the next manager is able to manage Chelsea to compete with Man City and Arsenal.

I do not know about the managerial career of him. I know that he was a very good defender back in the day. I also know that he is currently the coach of Burnley. And Burnley just got relegated. So I do not think it is going to be a very wise idea to actually get him as the coach of Bayern Munich. They should look for someone who has already been able to prove himself. And I do not think he is that guy.

You know, he has not coached big clubs so far. The first somewhat big club or decent club that he has actually taken up the coaching job for Burnley and they got relegated this season. So I do not think Munich should consider him as an actual candidate. I think Munich will be better off with the coach that they have right now instead of getting Kompany.

Vincent Kompamy tried his best for Burnley this season but they lack quality players that can survive the Premier League which is the reason why they get relegated back to Championship; but if we rate his performance as a coach, he have good tactics that will be useful for big teams that have quality players.

Bayern Munich have good set of players that are capable of winning several trophies; I see him as a good coach but teams like Munich is too big for him especially as Alonso has set new record and is making the Bundesliga more interesting.

Pochetino and Chelsea next season will be hot.He tried towards the end of the season,trying to come to play European football.Chelses is one team that is supposed to be like Arsenal because they are full of young talents.Almost all of them are age brackets,so they should be able to do well and qualify for champions league football.I will look at where they will finish next season,and if they can finish in the top four,the Pochetino will be the real man for the job,but for now,if he is to stay,he must prove to them that he can take these boys to champions league next season.

Pochettihnho has already part ways with Chelsea FC. Chelsea need to start afresh with another manager next season which to me is not a wise idea because  Pochettihnho is about to recover all the lapses and will soon make the team proud, but it seems like the owners are not patient enough to keep waiting.

Crazy crazy indeed. Actually, I didn’t see that coming and it came as a shock this evening when I saw the notification pop out out on my phone. Chelsea are very controversial team since the days of Abramovic, I thought it was over but it looks like it’s all in their blood and they’ll all behave the same.
There are some views that it was part of an agreement they’ve made with him earlier and since he couldn’t fulfill the requirement needed to keep his job, he has to be sacked after one year with them which in the contract, may be extended after review. They followed the agreement, but for a coach that has finished in a better position than last season and still has the potential to build the club better, he should have been given another chance.

I think Chelsea will keep Pochettino apparently now in internal talks several coaching candidates but indeed he wants to choose a young coach he said according to the news, this is really strange,,, but Chelsea wants the VfB coach as the main candidate but he still wants to be at VfB somehow Chelsea will spend a lot of money again.

That Chelsea has a lot of money it won't be crazy for him haha. even if you think about it with Pochettino's current situation it might be better for next season because he has started a pretty good journey even though his win rate is still low this season.

[TopT3ns]

Bayern is now in a difficult period, they are considering many candidates, I see names such as Kompany and Falk, but until there is any official announcement, these will just be negotiations between the team and the candidates. So in the end we may see some unexpected result, as happened in Liverpool. So far, of those whom Bayern is considering as candidates, it does not inspire optimism, for now they have time, but soon they will need to prepare the team for the new season, so there is not much time to find a new coach.

Bayern Munich in last season's matches had a less than stellar performance. This must be corrected immediately and perhaps by replacing some of the players above that you mentioned has the potential to improve Bayern Munich's performance condition. But Bayern Munich must add one attacking player or midfielder who can be used to penetrate the opponent's defense. Make sure they buy players who have above average skills.

Truthfully, we all saw how these players fought for the manager and also defended him but then, who am I to tell them what to do? I've seen Vincent Kompany has been listed amongst the coaches mentioned to replaced Mauricio Pochetino. I agree with you, and also some of these players have been Injured since they was signed up for the club.

I don't even know who that is. But they should be careful who they bring in. Some of these dump fans are chanting for the return of Thomas Tuchel. I believe that's pure bullshit.

Congratulations and Godspeed Toni Kroos ahead of his new path. In the future, maybe he will consider becoming a coach and I'm sure he'll be a top quality coach with the good knowledge of football he has.
