⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lannakosa]

Since Xavi is again about to leave Barcelona there are some coaches who are all linked to Barcelona.
Even in the past during this season when Barcelona got bad results in some matches, Barcelona was about to get Xavi fired from this team and now it seems because of the bad relationship between Xavi and Laporta they want to stop working with Xavi and use another coach for the next season.
Hansi Flick is currently the closest one for Barcelona however there are some other options linked to this team like Roberto De Zerbi and even Tuchel.

Everything happened after Xavi said that without additional strengthening of the team, it would be impossible to compete with Real. Of course, Laporta was disappointed by such words, because if Xavi is allowed, he will constantly demand strengthening of the team. But if we look at the results of last season, Barcelona, with the same squad (possibly with the exception of Dembele), was able to achieve this.

Perhaps Barcelona is currently holding negotiations with Flick, but there is no confirmation of this yet. How quickly everything changes, just recently Xavi was asked to stay in the team, and now he is again one step away from being fired. And now there is more choice among coaches, there is Pochettino, Tuchel and even Flick, whom everyone has already forgotten about.

Chelsea has succeeded in changing about three coaches within a 2 years interval and it's a really poor management from Chelsea owners, just when the team are getting better then all of a sudden either they sack or the coach is being compelled to leave due to how his being treated. Chelsea earlier deserves Tuchel, Potter should go but Pochettino is really one good selection to manage Chelsea and letting him go too easily is an awful decision. Who knows who they are in talk with, I lately over heard about bringing Mourinho.

I also feel disappointed with the decision to fire Pochettino, are they blind? Chelsea has slowly improved from last season when they only finished in 12th place, but now they are in 6th place. Chelsea is starting to have the seeds of great players. If they change the coach, the potential that Pochettino has just built will be in vain. It's quite annoying what Todd Boehly thinks, as if he's just using the club's finances for himself. What about Jackson and Palmer who are starting to feel comfortable at the club. I'm worried that in the hands of a new coach the concepts and strategies will actually affect the team's performance. Give Pochettino another season and I'm sure this club can get back on track.

Todd Boehly feels he has a lot of money so he will reshuffle what he wants. lol This is not something strange because Chelsea often change coaches if they feel they are not suitable but of course this is a lot of criticism for not giving much time to the coach even though it has started to improve with Pochettino.

What I think is that maybe with Chelsea changing the new coach then he will repeat the same badness as Potter, Lampard and Pochettino and the next coach.
Is it possible that the owner of Chelsea wants them to win instantly with a new coach?
Well maybe when Poch was at his worst many called for the sack but when he started to recover he wanted to be kept but that was the club's decision.

Flick annoumced interested to be Barcelona manager for next season after sacking Xavi Hernandez, but both side not reach persona verbal agreement yet and Barcelona fans expected waiting longer time to see their team manager for next season.
Actually Flick is good reputation manager after success winning Champion League tittle with Bayern Munich but not easy to make Barcelona get any trophies next season because has problem with financial condition.
Just waoting will Barcelona has better performance next season if Flick reach agreement deal to be Barcelona manager?

Just heard that Chelsea has parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season. I didn't expect this and never thought the club would push him out. Maybe it was Pochettino's choice? Anyway, it might be a regrettable decision. Now they have to start fresh again. There might come a time when no manager wants to coach Chelsea!
The club's leadership treats their managers poorly. Chelsea finished above United and lost only 2 out of their last 16 games. Pochettino just got them playing well, and they turned a corner in the second half of the season. It's a bit harsh, especially since they seemed to be finding their form. This is yet another example of the poor management by Chelsea's owners.

Finishing in 6th place in the Premier League standings does not guarantee that Mauricio Pochettino's position as Chelsea manager will be safe. Pochettino and Chelsea agreed to end cooperation early even though there is still one year left on the contract. Mauricio Pochettino is now officially no longer coaching the Blues. Interestingly, there were no dismissals or resignations, both parties agreed to end cooperation. Pochettino became Chelsea manager on July 1 2023, until finally leaving on May 21 2024.

 Chelsea has been inconsistent since the start of the season. In fact, they were stranded for a long time in the middle of the standings. However, Pochettino proved that he knows how to encourage the team to rise. Chelsea's performance has improved in the last few months, they were even able to wipe out the last five matches with consecutive wins. As a result, Chelsea finished in 6th place in the final Premier League standings this season. Specifically in the Premier League, Pochettino led Chelsea to 63 points from 18 wins, 9 draws and 11 defeats.

The decision to dispense with Pochettino's service is not bad, in this PL it was very difficult, a 6th place for a club like this is not pleasant, a club like Chelsea should always be among the top 4 places and always compete for the UCL However, things in football are like that and you always have to see things from the point of view that is pleasant for many, I see Chelsea as a strong team, I don't see any kind of debiodald, however a change of coach can refresh some. strategies and look for players who do a superior job or who help current players, and above all move forward.

Chelsea are now interested in hiring ‘the ultimate leader’ as their new manager

Vincent Kompany of interest to Chelsea

According to The Guardian, Chelsea are interested in bringing Vincent Kompany to Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian has, of course, just endured quite a poor season with Burnley that finished in relegation, but, back in the 2022/23 season, Kompany was seen as the next big thing in management.

Indeed, his Burnley side ran away with the Championship that year, losing just three out of 46 games and racking up 101 points in the process.

Pochettino was not to be blamed for Chelsea misfortune. There was nothing much he could have done, given that the senior players were constantly hit by injury crisis throughout the season. His squad was full of young players who are still playing together for the first time, pochettino did his best to manage the club to the 6 place finish, how many managers could have done more than he did at Chelsea at same situation of the squad? When his players started turning up at the later half of the season they were producing excellent results which facilitated the 6 place finish and are finally going to play in the European competition next season. I am not in support of Chelsea decision to sack pochettino.

Actually, this is a complicated situation faced by Barcelona and with Xavi's dismissal, I don't think they are actually ready to find a replacement. I wonder what Laporta was thinking when he fired Xavi considering that he had asked him to stay and now he has changed his mind to tell Xavi to leave the coaching chair.

Personally, I would have liked Xavi to stay, but he might not be what Barcelona needs right now. Barcelona are in a difficult situation and they need a manager that can make them compete against Madrid and Europe with what they have. They need a different approach to the game. They need a manager that can constantly attack, because if you look at it closely, you'll see that Barcelona have quality players and they shout playing better than they did this season. What Barcelona lacks is squad depth, but their first 11 is solid.

With all the names I'm seeing to replace Xavi, Hansi Flick is the only one I'll pick over Xavi. There's no point sacking Xavi for a manager that doesn't have more experience and plays better football than Xavi.
Flick knows how to push his players to the last, he knows how to manage them and bring out the best from them. The problem is, his patter of football is very draining and requires a lot from the players so it's either the players don't adapt or they do very well this season and be too fatigued to do it again the next season. I believe that was the problem he faced in Bayern Munich.
Let's wait and see if Barcelona would fire Xavi at all before we can speculate.

Well maybe when Poch was at his worst many called for the sack but when he started to recover he wanted to be kept but that was the club's decision.

As a result of firing coaches too often it will leave a bad impression on Chelsea, Todd Boehly will have difficulty finding a great coach if his ideology is always expecting something to happen instantly. The coach needs time to form his squad to be more solid, Pochettino has almost completed his task after successfully making Chelsea finish in sixth position. Todd Boehly should be more realistic in assessing Pochettino performance, Chelsea is better than Newcastle and Manchester United in the standings. Now that Chelsea is busy looking for a replacement for Pochettino and will start a new project with a new coach next season, the increasing competition in the Premier League will make it difficult for coaches to achieve the expectations of club officials in a short time.

Agreed. That is most likely the same situation as Bayern is currently facing caused by chelsea sacked its coach without even having a well explanation for what the club sack pochettino so easy. I have read in several media outlets that Bayern is having difficulty finding a new coach and the club is still trying to get the suitable coach to manage it. Bayern has also made offers, but they have been turned down by the coaches. Even Bayern attempted a U-turn for Tuchel, but it failed as tuchel still stand on his choice to leave from bayern munich after disrespectful treat received by him.

I have a feeling the same thing will happen with Chelsea soon. To be honest, Boehly is a dictator owner and he is the root for all of problems in chelsea. He will always kick anything that does not follow his instructions. Poch is good, but not with the owner of Chelsea. This is why the difference of philosophy between poch and todd has made chelsea to sack poch. Poch sees playing football to get a trophy, while todd sees football club as a way to make money from developing then selling the talents.

That's why many people are upset about it. And i think theer will be so many chelsea fans will not be also being respectful to the blues. The chelsea investors group shall have sacked boehly for his non sense decision.

This is yet another example of the poor management by Chelsea's owners.

How would it be Pochetino's decision? I look at them and wonder whats them motive for the new season. Mauricio Pochetino was already beginning to settle down well in the squad and the players backing him up as well. It can't be Pochetino's choice truthfully. I don't know too much about this club of late, i haven't followed them up closey. The thing right now is to get a good replacement who can compete with the top clubs

Mauricio Pochetino did well after his slow start, spending weeks below tenth position on the Premier League Table for a very long period of time. Finally it gladdens me to see that he raised them up again with the help of these hardworking players who helped fought for him as well.
We will see the plans they have for the new season. But making moves for Vincent Kompany makes zero sense to me. As for the case of Erik Ten Hag, he's yet to make no decision neither had the management of Manchester United said shit. Rumours if him moving to Chelsea are not valid.

[Josefjix]

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.

How is the fans wishing to have Tuchel back bullshit? He was the fan's favorite and won them the last major titles, stood by the club during sanctions and never left them despite the club struggling to pay for expenses as of that period. He had good offers but still stuck with Chelsea throughout the hard period and got sacked the wrong way.

If the fans want him back I don't see anyone problem with it, he's better than the ones shortlisted at the moment.

Chelsea are looking for dynamic manager, several candidates are being discussed internally with owners and directors involved.
Thomas Frank among names mentioned internally; also Kieran McKenna but still all open.
Seb Hoeneß, highly rated but fully focused on Stuttgart.

At least it is good to see that Chelsea are actually looking for a coach and not keeping the current coach any longer.
Yes towards the end they were able to perform really well. Maybe better than they have performed the whole season. But that does not mean in the next season they are not going to suffer. So the decision that they have taken is very good in my opinion. And it looks like they are actually looking for a coach who will be able to handle pressure and also handle such a big squad like Chelsea as well. That is something we have seen many coaches fail to do in recent times. I have also heard that Chelsea is not going back to the previous coaches that they have brought in recently. I am talking about Jose Marino, Conte, and Tuchel.

People that are saying they are surprised by Pochettino quick exit from the club are the ones even surprising me because if Chelsea club happen to be there own club, I'm not sure if they are going to allow him stay after this poor season. The beginning was too poor, middle was as if they weren't even in the league and the end was fair but the over all performance was below average, let's not sugarcoat the conference Europa League, they can actually do better.

There are many people that can handle the team better and more effectively but I don't know why they settle for him but if it's because of the budget, the have gotten result for what they settle before the season but this time, they better take their time.

Mauricio Pochetino did well after his slow start, spending weeks below tenth position on the Premier League Table for a very long period of time. Finally it gladdens me to see that he raised them up again with the help of these hardworking players who helped fought for him as well.

There was a time it became normal, the fans accepted their faith as a losers until towards the end when things start to get better. They played match for more than a 5 weeks without any win, just draw and losses and that was tiring and exhausting to see one of the best club in the England to become this worst than Tottenham that hardly get to the top of the table.

Perhaps Barcelona is currently holding negotiations with Flick, but there is no confirmation of this yet. How quickly everything changes, just recently Xavi was asked to stay in the team, and now he is again one step away from being fired. And now there is more choice among coaches, there is Pochettino, Tuchel and even Flick, whom everyone has already forgotten about.

Laporta seems to be getting hot with Xavi words so he closes his eyes and ears to all the achievements Xavi can give so far to Barcelona, Xavi words that are considered controversial for Laporta certainly make Laporta want to fire Xavi without caring about the effects that Barcelona might get later, seeing what Xavi said that we can indeed say is a fact of course Laporta should respond wisely and even in the match Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano a few days ago instead Barcelona fans continued to shout their support for Xavi with the words Xavi Yes, Laporta No, and it indicates if the fans fully support Xavi with his statement.

Xavi came to Barcelona with his love for the club after he got all the luxuries as a club coach in Qatar, the first season he was able to win the championship trophy even without an adequate squad and this season he stated he wanted to step down from his position, but after Barcelona had difficulty getting a new coach and with various considerations finally Xavi chose to stay at Barcelona,  But now he will be sacked just because of his criticism of Barcelona finances, Isn't that a pretty stupid thing to do by Barcelona later if it is true that they sacked Xavi?
Flick, Tuchel and even Pochettino are experienced and accomplished coaches, but whether they would love and build Barcelona without good financial support, of course not in my opinion, I think there is no coach who loves Barcelona more than Xavi and even Xavi is willing to get out of his safety zone in Qatar and also not taking the rest of his salary this season just for the sake of seeing Barcelona bounce back, will Tuchel, Flick and Pochettino do as Xavi did? Of course not..!!

It is very difficult to recover Barcelona at this stage. There will be players who will leave the team, but if Flick has expressed this desire, he has probably made a plan of his own. For Flick, Barça will be like a duel. Because there are differences between teams. While Bayern has very good facilities and players, Barça currently looks like a team struggling with financial difficulties. It is more difficult to be successful with Barça than with other teams. Xavi actually had good success, but I think he will now embark on a new adventure.

Pep Guardiola has been awarded as the premier league manager of the season after he was nominated alongside Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Andoni Iraola and Jurgen Klopp. Pep Guardiola is one manager I like so much because he is always full of energy and makes sure he wins a trophy for his club and his coaching skills is also admirable so he deserves the award after fighting a good fight and won at last. Congratulations to him on his well deserved award at least it isn't easy to win the premier league trophy 4 consecutive times so he really dida great job for Manchester City.

https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/pep-guardiola-premier-league-manager-of-the-season-63851906

success that Guardiola achieved during his tenure as Man City coach was initially doubted by fans but Guardiola managed to prove that he was successful in delivering the first EPL title when Man City managed to lead the EPL at the end of the season several years ago and after everyone studied what made Guardiola so great success with Man City and the reason is quite easy, if Guardiola has very good principles and strategic approaches with the players.
this approach is like generating teamwork to build strong performance and we can all see how Guardiola unites new players with old players who can quickly create chemistry that can help the team continue to be the strongest team in the EPL.
since Haaland arrival, Guardiola has become increasingly confident that Man City can become a team that will dominate the EPL and all the intelligent coach's dreams have come true this season.

It is very likely that if Guardiola can continue to help Man City dominate the EPL in the next few seasons, it looks like he will continue to be retained with Man City with the aim of continuing to make new history that can improve Man City reputation in the future.

Finishing in 6th place in the Premier League standings does not guarantee that Mauricio Pochettino's position as Chelsea manager will be safe. Pochettino and Chelsea agreed to end cooperation early even though there is still one year left on the contract. Mauricio Pochettino is now officially no longer coaching the Blues. Interestingly, there were no dismissals or resignations, both parties agreed to end cooperation. Pochettino became Chelsea manager on July 1 2023, until finally leaving on May 21 2024.

 
The decision to dispense with Pochettino's service is not bad, in this PL it was very difficult, a 6th place for a club like this is not pleasant, a club like Chelsea should always be among the top 4 places and always compete for the UCL However, things in football are like that and you always have to see things from the point of view that is pleasant for many, I see Chelsea as a strong team, I don't see any kind of debiodald, however a change of coach can refresh some. strategies and look for players who do a superior job or who help current players, and above all move forward.

Despite being tired of Chelsea's traditional and inpatient way of firing their managers too early, but I'm in agreement with the club's sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, because I see Pochettino as a coach who had no plan of taking Chelsea football team to nowhere, he lacked a wining strategy because it was obvious seeing Chelsea concede goals in almost all their games, and where Chelsea under his watch had no defensive mechanism, it was worst ever weakest witnessed Chelsea defensive line over a decade plus if not more than.

It's never an easy job for managers who come to Chelsea. We can criticize and say that they could not bring Chelsea to a good place, but it is really very difficult to bring Chelsea to a good place in the league. The high level of competition in the league causes some teams to be unable to keep up with this competition. Chelsea is one of these teams.

Constantly changing coaches means that a new era begins in the team each time. Time must pass for the team and the coach to be compatible, and a quality squad must be given in order for the coach to achieve what he wants.

[tusandii]

What??? he's just 34 years old, Pepe already 41 years old and he can still playing for FC Porto, it's too early for Kroos to retire. He's still very good right now, I don't see his performance decline. He might think his football academy already make more than what he get paid in Real Madrid, but he forget if business has a risk to bankrupt. Kroos isn't someone who have a really big name like Griezmann, Neymar, Kante etc (I mention their names because comparing to Messi and Ronaldo is too much).

So if he's not successful with his business, not teams want to hire him with decent salary, he will get paid less.

Indeed, 34 years old is too early to retire from football, even Real Madrid still want to keep him at the club because he is very smart when playing ball with strategy and he always helps Vinicius Junior to create opportunities even if Real Madrid wants to sell him he is still accepted at the Arab club Saudi Arabia accommodates older players from elite clubs. I think Saudi Arabia is also interested in recruiting Toni Kroos if he is interested in going there. We see that many older players are still staying at the club. Lewandowski is 35 years old but he is still staying at Barcelona. Ronaldo is 39 years old. still playing in the Saudi League and has not decided to retire because his love for football makes him reluctant to retire.

After I read a lot of opinions of others here who said about Toni Kroos and it turns out that it has become the right decision for him to retire and run his own business.
We never know what will happen to his business in the future but we must accept the fact that Toni Kroos is a reliable and famous soccer player who always has a very wise decision.
If later the business goes bankrupt, it will not be possible because we don't know how much money he has made so far to continue to run his business without having to go bankrupt.
We cannot compare Toni Kroos with other star players because in the level of popularity it is far different.

Everything happened after Xavi said that without additional strengthening of the team, it would be impossible to compete with Real. Of course, Laporta was disappointed by such words, because if Xavi is allowed, he will constantly demand strengthening of the team. But if we look at the results of last season, Barcelona, with the same squad (possibly with the exception of Dembele), was able to achieve this.

Perhaps Barcelona is currently holding negotiations with Flick, but there is no confirmation of this yet. How quickly everything changes, just recently Xavi was asked to stay in the team, and now he is again one step away from being fired. And now there is more choice among coaches, there is Pochettino, Tuchel and even Flick, whom everyone has already forgotten about.

If I had to choose based on my personal opinion, it looks like Barcelona needs a new coach who is more competent to handle Barcelona. I know, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona this far with very limited financial conditions.  However, as a Barcelona supporter, I am not satisfied with Xavi's performance, especially this season. Apart from the number of injured players who have been in the treatment room one after another, some of the systems he implemented were not ideal for me. one of them, the decline in the performance of Barcelona's back line. It is possible that if Barcelona is financially healthy, Xavi can be given the freedom to bring in the players he wants. Thus, at least Barcelona will be able to compete much more competitively. that's why, even though I don't really like the system that Xavi implements. but still, I really appreciate it.

To be honest, I haven't tried to track any developments regarding the coach and player rumors for this thread. Apart from that, the news that Flick was linked just disappeared. For current developments, I have not updated. So, please understand if I don't have much information. Regarding as you said, whether Xavi will be fired for his statement, Xavi should remain consistent in following what he said to end this season in charge of Barcelona. However, somehow we'll see how it develops. As for the names of trainers mentioned in this post, Flick is the most ideal for me. Anyway, this is just my personal point of view as well as a Barcelona supporter.

We don't know if sacking Pochettino is a good idea or bad idea. It depends on the result of the next season when the new coach is managing Chelsea. If it is worse than Pochettino, sacking Pochettino now is the wrong decision.

Well, I'm a bit surprised with this news. I see Chelsea got great performance, they won all the matches recently. We must admit that Chelsea became a solid team in the few last matches of this season. I think it is the sign that Pochettino will be safe as a Chelsea manager. But it is wrong, Chelsea sacked him. Even Chelsea finished in a better position this season.

I think it is not easy to bring back Chelsea to top 4. Just take a look Man United! The team even can't return to the top 6. It is not easy to rebuild a team like Chelsea and Man United. Chelsea management should understand that Pochettino did not a very bad job this season. Most of Chelsea players are new players, it makes sense if they need time to adapt with the new team and coach. Lately, they showed that they already adapt well! They showed a good progress by winning all the latest matches. IMO, Pochettino deserves to get another chance.

However, Chelsea already sacked him. Now, who will be the next coach?

Chelsea are now interested in hiring ‘the ultimate leader’ as their new manager

Yep, I heard a rumor Chelsea is interested to sign Kompany. TBH, I don't think Kompany is better than Pochettino. Kompany has lack of experience and he doesn't really know Chelsea. Kompany was a player of Man City, not sure if he is capable to handle Chelsea players. If Chelsea really wants to finish in a better position, it is not enough by signing Kompany. Why don't plan of hiring a more experienced coach?  

[bering]

Bad news came from the city. Ederson is considering leaving the club at the end of the season and he may be interesting to get a new atmosphere to play in the different league. It appears that he is satisfied with his achievements while playing for Manchester City. Some Saudi professional league clubs have targeted him.
There is no explanation as to whether he will leave the European continent or remain. He could still receive numerous offers from the big club considering he has a successful career in the manchester city.

There is no explanation for his departure from Manchester City and on which club that will be taking it as his next destination. It appears that Pep is also looking for a suitable replacement for Ederson as soon as possible considering that if manchester city will lose one of its best goal keeper but this may be taking more time consider it's not easy to find the best one for city. City can start to consider chelsea's goal keeper kepa. He is coming back again to the chelsea after real madrid decides not to make him as a permanent transfer.

I'm hoping he'll continue to play in European competitions rather than the Saudi Pro League. Ederson can still have bright future.

Ederson was transfered from Benfica on 2017 and at that time Manchester City have to pay with expensive price to gets him but Ederson performance never dissapointing and very consistent so that's why since he moved from Benfica to Manchester City Guardiola always be trust him as main goalkeeper of Manchester City and indeed Ederson have already to achieve almost every trophies with this team so he was thinking to leave Manchester City because Ederson want to look for new challenge and currently Ederson is 30 years old and i think he is not too old so with his performance i think Ederson still decent to playing at Europa but indeed some of clubs from Saudi Arabia has putting him into their radar and probably after summer transfer window opened they will make a bid and for Manchester City they don't mind if Ederson want to moved from this team as long as the offers is very decent to be considered and if this rumour happened i think it's not a big deal for Manchester City because i am sure they can found the replacement of him
