⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

The transfer window closes in two weeks, there will probably be a flurry of activity as clubs panic and try to improve their squads. Some of the big deals are usually done late on in the transfer window so should be an interesting time.

Still Liverpool have signed nobody, I still hope we bring a couple of players in but for now the most important thing is to win against Ipswich tomorrow.

Two weeks is a lot of time for clubs to compete their deals and also start negotiations with their targets. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle United Manchester City are still in the market trying to complete this deals.

Liverpool are yet to bring in a player. The recent negotiation with the Real Sociedad Midfielder, Zubimendi didn’t materialize. I know really know the story behind it but I believe they have other options and it’ll be wise they bring in some reinforcements before the deadline day.

Arsenal also haven’t gotten the deal of the Spanish midfielder, Merino done with. It seems they need to balance the books before they can make another signing.

There are several clubs that are currently chasing deadlines to complete their currently pending transfers, such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea and several other clubs that are still in fierce negotiations to complete their transfers, two weeks in my opinion is not a long time to complete the transfer of a player because there will be a lot of processes going on and it will take quite a long time, just like what happened between Arsenal and Merino, in fact the transfer took place several weeks ago and even now Real Sociedad has actually got another player as a replacement for Merino, however, in fact, when the rumored agreement was only one step away at that time it has not yet been realizedz, so it shows that negotiating player transfers has not been an easy thing so far.

Liverpool is a club that so far has not brought in any new players to their squad, although currently their squad is quite balanced by relying on last season squad, but Arne slot should move quickly to get new players, especially for the midfield sector and also their defense line which looks a bit fragile. We all hope that in the last two weeks there will be moves made by Liverpool and several other teams to recruit new players to strengthen their squad, so that in this way we will see very competitive competition between teams in the league next season.

European football is seeing more and more talented coaches, with increasingly modern and intelligent coaching and management styles. Let's discuss who is the best. I will name 4 coaches that I want to discuss: Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso, Erik Ten Hag, and Xavi Hernandez. Personally, I think Arteta is the best, he has built Arsenal in an upward direction, with good control with a higher pressing style of play. What do you think?

Ten Hag is the best, he's the only one that can find the strongest player which is Antony. He also sign both Onana and Mount, two of them are second best players than Antony, they can fight against Real Madrid.

He's also know Ronaldo is a worst player and Sancho is over, that's why he don't mind to argue with Ronaldo and give punishment to Sancho.

If I were The Glazers, I would offer lifetime contract to Ten Hag because I don't want him to move to other team, it will be a disaster to Manchester United.

I feel your analysis is biased because I don't know how come you are using being able to sign players to rate coaches. In my opinion Arteta should be a better coach than Ten Haag based on their performance last season. Despite not winning the league last season, Arteta have been able to transform Arsenal  by making them a more attacking team than they have ever been. Through his initiative, Arsenal was scoring goals at every given opportunity unlike when we know them as romancing the ball with no result to show. Don't forget that he almost won the league if not that they ran out of luck.

The possibility of a trade is of course the best option for both teams, but will Osimhen want it? Maybe he will prefer to stay in Napoli for another year instead of playing for Chelsea, who will not play in the UCL. Napoli has a very good history and with the right tactics they have a chance to win the Scudetto again. Conte may want to keep Osimhen in the team and want to win the championship. I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

If I'm not mistaken, Osimhen through his agent is reluctant to be loaned. besides, I didn't read the news about the player exchange option. but it could be the best option for Osimhen, Napoli, especially Chelsea as a club that wants to use his services. well, some rumors have been reported that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli in this summer's transfer window, that's why Conte didn't include Osimhen in the pre-season match and in the Coppa Itallia. so I doubt Conte wants to keep Osimhen, especially since he had stated that he wanted Lukaku. unfortunately, Osimhen's release clause makes it difficult for teams that want his services to be brought in. considering that this summer's transfer window is getting closer to closing, I'm pretty sure either Napoli or Chelsea will find a way to make this deal happen. however, lately Chelsea has also been rumored with several other players who might be their options to find an alternative to Osimhen. it's very unfortunate, even though Osimhen is one of the best strikers who can be relied on in the front line. Let's just wait, there is still one week left for Chelsea and Napoli to complete the deal. or, in the end Osimhen will stay with Napoli.

Chelsea like you rightly said aren't gonna be playing in the UEFA Champions League this season but let's also not forget that Napoli also failed to qualify to play in the Champions League but will rather play in the Europa League competition which is one step higher that the Europa Conference League competition that Chelsea will be participating in this season. That being said, I think Victor Osimhen needs that swap deal that'll see him join Chelsea while Romelu Lukaku join Napoli more than anyone involved in the deal because Napoli boss Antonio Conte have already said that Osimhen isn't in his plan for the new season and should Osimhen fail to leave while Lukaku joins Napoli this summer, Osimhen will likely spend most of 2024/25 season on the bench.
