⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

These are bar chat, the fact that Motta is not doing very well is certainly true, but in my opinion Juventus by purchasing XAVI goes bad to worse, in the sense that to make a team turn well there is a need for time and Quiesto Thiago Motta did not have it, changing the coach so soon you risk ending the team in a disaster, it is already a squra with several problems if we also add a coaching. disastrous, so I don't think it will happen

Why is it said to be bad for Juventus under Motta? Even though Juventus is currently in the top four of the League and still has the opportunity to catch Atalanta in third place in the Serie A standings. And if you look at the results in the 27 matches that Juventus have played, the team has only lost once in those 27 matches, which means that Motta has been able to make the Juventus team have a very balanced strength this season. So if just because they are still in the top four, Juventus is not grateful and feels great to change coaches again in the near future, I think it could be the wrong step because the team is too greedy to be able to have a good appearance under the guidance of another coach.

I have always said that Manchester United holds major part of the problems the team is facing because how else will you explains that a player flourishing in hos club moves to Manchester United and after few months begins to decline in performance and become a flop after few months or the first season. The energy and aura at the club contaminates anything that comes in and when this players leave they begin to flourish again, how can you explain this.

It is a bit more complicated to fix Manchester United and maybe as we have said before the club are not trying to turn the team into a title contender. It is unfortunate that players who were previously quite good lose their form after playing at Manchester United and vice versa when they go to other clubs they can develop so much like some of the players that are there. There are a lot of mistakes that could have been made and if they are not fixed now then Manchester United will become just another club in the Premier League and there may be nothing special about them anymore.

I definitely say YES with this. I meant replacing Motta with Xavi is very worthy decision for Juventus. I know some might be disagreed, but i personally think that if Motta is already failed in helping the club.

Juventus is not even a competitive compared to the Napoli and Intermilan, though they also spent a lot of money on summer last season.

If Juventus is willing to see its club to be back competitive again, they have to sign Xavi and sack Motta.

There were no contacts between Juventus and Xavi, and Motta is promised that he will remain as head coach next season, so it seems that everything suits them. Although I am also inclined to think that Motta is not the best coach for Juventus, in essence he is no different from Alegre, very similar manners and strategies, maybe the only difference is that Motta is younger and more reserved on the field and in transfer demands.

the news that i got, xavi rejected juventus' invitation to become juventus coach because he wanted to take a break from coaching, so the rumor about xavi who continues to be linked with juventus seems to have been stopped.

besides that manchester united has also recently been linked with xavi, i don't know what the next news is, lastly inter miami which is currently messi's place of play is also linked with xavi, we'll just see how this all goes, which team will xavi choose.

Manchester United is starting to realize their strikers are not good enough. They're eyeing Mateta from Palace to be signed in summer window. I know people might be rarely heard about his name, but he scored 12 goals combined with 2 assist. This is far better than hojlund (2 goals/22 matches)/Zirkzee (3 goals/27 matches).

This is smart move, selling Hojlund/Zirkzee, which was flop, then replace it with Mateta. Mateta is good enough as a striker, and has huge potential to be explored.

Seriously? Manchester United, a huge and popular team, is interested with unknown player?

He's not even able to reach France senior team, even though he's already playing with Crystal Palace for 4 years, it's a proof if he's just a mediocre player. If Manchester United want to buy a player, buy the top 20 players instead of mediocre or one season wonder.

I think Mateta can have such high goals because of Eze.

I just weak hearing the rumour about Mateta to Manchester United from Palace,  its just adding another average player to the squad player that won't be consistent for two seasons. Though he has been a top scored for Palace, last season he scored  16goals in 35 appearance, he has 12goals in 27 appearance this season.  He's a good striker both his not  good enough to play for a team like Manchester United. Manchester United doesn't have a good striker to rely on and buying Jean Mateta is another big mistake for the club. Hojlund and Zirkzee are total frustration they can't create or convert chances.  Instead of adding Jean Mateta will matter worse.

It is strange how some months ago Motta was the praised manager and the best choice for Juventus and suddenly he’s not good enough and already been called out for a possible sack. However Xavi is a good candidate if Juventus decide to part ways with Motta. I believe Xavi is capable of reviving the team and return them to winning ways.

It would be very nice decision for Juventus to replace thiago Motta with Xavi Hernandez. It is very obvious that Motta who replace Massimiliano Allegri allegri has not been able to stabilize the team since he took over as head coach at the club, he has a record of drawn matches which has impacted the club negatively as regards their position on the league table, I think it's time for a change and Xavi Hernandez is the right candidate for this job, he has a very unique philosophical in his reasoning and the experience of handling a team like Juventus haven led Barcelona to win the league title in his first season as Barcelona's coach, I think he would deploy his wealth of experience and also bring in good players who will help Juventus challenge for the title next season if he is given the opportunity.

Some have criticized Xavi as not been the best choice for Juventus if Motta leaves. He is been rated based on the quality of his performances prior to leaving Barcelona as the manager some season’s back. Managers are not suppose to be rated in that manner anymore, been poor in a particular team doesn’t mean they will be poor again in another team. Most times, change of teams is what helps propel the career of many of this managers. He is worth trying as the head coach of Juventus if Motta leaves, I’m sure he’ll be a good replacement for the team.

That's human for you, they are too quick to judge. It's not only Xavi that this has happened to. I could remember when Bayern hired Kompany, we heard similar critics, but Kompany shut up their mouths. I believe if Xavi is hired, he will do his best for Juventus to make sure that they're back to form.  Xavi was successful in Barcelona, because he won the title for them two seasons ago.

Mateta is a physically strong player. I'm sure he will do a better job than the strikers currently at Manchester United, but for me he is a player who is not good enough. He's had a superficial career and for a big club like Manchester United, this type of striker is not suitable. If Manchester United have a plan to save the day, they can consider him, but if they want to rebuild, they need to build a squad of world stars. For me, the best striker for Manchester United is Osimhen. Osimhen's ambition, the way he looks at the game, his agility and his finishing are just right for the EPL. If they insist on Osimhen they will be in a better position in the EPL next season.

who doesn't know mateta? dude was a beast at the just concluded Olympics with France. after watching him play at the Olympics, i fell in love with the energy and tenacity with which he attacks. people might call him average but if you work well with that dude, he can stand almost close to the level of Halland with time. the issue is not just about him, the united themselves are not even a good team that can manage an attacker or help bring the best out of him. even as we see this as a life for mateta, Manchester united can still make a mess out of him and he becomes an average to no performing attacker in their hands. all these transfer news that ends up working is getting annoying, if they can't get osimehn or a very good attacker, they should go for anyone and just add something to that attack that is currently nothing too special to write home about.

Mateta was not unknown player. Mateta was quite popular, and importantly, he's not bang average compared Hojlun or Zirkzee. Mateta's current season total goals is far greater than Hojlung + Zirkze combined goals.

I'd rather pay Mateta if he has priced only 20 millions instead of wasted almost 100 millions for two average strikers from serie a.

There's a rumor Xavi will replace Amorim, but Manchester United need to fulfill Xavi's request. Xavi request to sign De Jong and Araujo, this is really hard. I understand why Xavi ask such request because he know Manchester United need to replace the play maker which is Bruno and having a captain to control the players.

If Manchester United can fulfill this request, they might able to end this curse.

We haven't see Manchester United hijack a captain and replace Bruno with another worthy player

I hope it’s just a rumour because I don't understand why Manchester United would consider replacing Amorim with Xavi Hernandez. I have said it time and time again that the club's poor performance cannot be blamed solely on the coach. The management deserves a larger share of the blame. Even if they hire Xavi Hernandez and meet his demands, he will likely struggle to implement his tactics effectively and achieve the desired results.

I am sure this is just a rumor circulating that Manchester United will replace Amorim too quickly, replacing Amorim with Xavi Hernandez, Manchester United must have a more professional principle, the season is not over yet and Amorim must at least be given more trust in managing a more solid team in the remaining matches. Xavi Hernandez has his demands to come to Manchester United on the grounds that he can recruit De Jong and Araujo to design a strong team and I think Man United is not a little difficult with this demand.

Don't overhyped Xavi Hernandez, he's one of the best managers to lead Barcelona but he was quite unfortunate after poor stats was recorded. The team's management grow impatience with the whole dormant system of Xavi Hernandez during his regime at Camp Nou, they had to make a best decision that was good for the club, Xavi Hernandez was strip off his managerial duties in style, this is good thing for the club?

Looking at Manchester United, they're always the same despite signing new managers every season. They quickly make crucial decisions without running a background check on their actions. Manchester United headcoach, Ruben Amorim is not exceptional, he will be given much time just like the others. If Ruben Amorim gers dismiss from Old Trafford, it means the system didn't give him fair trial and chance as they did to Erik Ten Hag.

In my opinion, I'm not sure Amorim is Manchester United's present problem.  When Erik Ten Hag was at the club, everyone was stating that Manchester United's problem was with the coach, so they fired him and hired a new coach, yet some people are still moaning about Amorim.  Manchester United's primary difficulty is that they need to sign new key players for the team, and Amorim only joined the club this season, so he needs to balance very well before he can bring in new players who will help the club.

Next season, I believe Manchester United will be better than this season because Amorim will buy players who will be able to play the pattern he previously utilized in Benfica or he could adjust his plan for the club net season. Because Manchester United is not doing well this season and Amorim needs to find a solution, he should simply strive to win the Europa League so that he can qualify for the UCL next season, and Amorim will add new players to the club next summer.

The two trophies he won for Barcelona (La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup) prove that he is worthy of being considered as Amorim's successor because these successes were achieved when Barcelona was experiencing financial problems. I think he should be given a chance and the management needs to support him in all policies including bringing in players and selling players who are not in his plans.

Looking at Manchester United, they're always the same despite signing new managers every season. They quickly make crucial decisions without running a background check on their actions.

The philosophy used by Xavi is not much different from that used by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, perhaps he will end MU long search for the right coach. Amorim should be given a chance until the end of the season, if he fails in the Europa League and is unable to secure a ticket to European competition next season, I think changes should be made immediately to end the bad trend with the previous coach.

I don't know where the rumours about amorim sacking started to develop at this time, because basically it is precisely manchester united that has not given a statement that hints at amorim's future so far, besides, in the last few weeks I have seen in this thread if xavi continues to be linked with several teams including juventus and now manchester united even though we know that so far he prefers to take a break from coaching for a while, if xavi wants to return to coaching a team of course he is already coaching a club at this time, because at the beginning of the season many clubs wanted to make him a coach but instead he refused, the arrival of amorim has not give an impact on manchester united but I don't think management will sack him within half a season of his coaching.

All Manchester United needs now is to focus on avoiding relegation because they might end trophyless this season. The team is in bad shape because of low-performing players, injuries, suspensions, and financial problems. It would be unfair to sack Ruben Amorim because he needs more time to put the team in shape. Although the expectation was high when Amorim was signed after he had a great experience in Sporting Lisbon it is not turning out well. But I think he needs one more season to prove his worth.

Even if they hire Xavi Hernandez and meet his demands, he will likely struggle to implement his tactics effectively and achieve the desired results.

The players not the management deserving large share of the blame. From the records under the management of Amorim, Manchester United are not doing well, the management will be worried with different thoughts ringing inside their minds, replacing coach will come to mind which we won't agree is the best thing to do right now even if with a better replacement that they claim to know about, Manchester United needs time, they don't need to rush the perfect result they want for the club, continuously changing management only cause them more harm to do with because the players keep trying to adapt at those intervals, they might be getting it right but to be the best they need perfection in tactics and discipline on the pitch.

Manchester United needs to check their squad, they are not having the best eleven players to help compete in the league, they should not  follow just the worth of player when making transfers but check how the player fit's to their game, allow the coach to bring his own players that he wants into the club, managers are always there with own tactics and knows the kind of players to fit in and that is what Manchester United needs coming season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Moreover, the team that wants him is Real Madrid, clearly it is an even easier thing for Alexander-Arnold to agree to it because Real Madrid is team that is clearly better than Liverpool.

Well, what I think is that it is very necessary for him to go to Madrid, because the defense is the team's biggest weakness, that player is needed, but we can only think, because if the player doesn't like Madrid, then he would go to another team, unfortunately that happens, there are very few who have said No to Madrid.

If it is not this one, it should be another, but a defensive player is urgently needed for the Merengue team.

I think Ruben Amorim needs at least one more season. Because he hasn’t been able to change anything properly since he came to Manchester United. He looks at the players’ adaptation to the team and playing according to his tactical formation. He will acquire the team’s formation and the necessary new players in the summer. I think he should focus on the European league right now. I think they will be one of the most active teams in the summer transfer season. They will be a team that we will hear about frequently in the transfer market, both in terms of those leaving Manchester United and in terms of players coming to Manchester United.

If Erik Ten Hag used almost 3 season before he was been replace, then I think Amorin has more time to spend in Manchester united because he came when there is alot of damages, he has been trying different patterns to put the team in the best place as possible but it has not been working. I think if nothing tangible comes out this season, he has next season to prove to the management that he is the right person for the job, if nothing changes later, then replacements is imminent.

Sporting was really bad some times back but he was able to transform the club that's even the basis why he was signed that time. If he is serious, there is definitely going to be some money available by the end of the season and there is going to be recommendations of players that are going to be sold and even if he doesn't get any, he sees the players that are not good for the team and the once that need to be sold, he can make arrangements for his starters against next season.
