⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Frankolala]

The only reason I feel Xavi can do something good is because he was able to begin the revival process for Barcelona even though he didn’t completely accomplish it but he did set the foundation that Flick is enjoying today so hopefully he can do the same with United. Someone needs to save United from this decline before they hit relegation level because it is no longer funny.

Manchester United were not Patient with the likes of Van Gaal, and you think they won't fumble again with a person like Xavi? Xavi might not be so different from Amorim by the way. Just because they performed so well in other local league does not mean they can instantly change things at Manchester United.

Maybe what need to change at Manchester United first is the ownership, and then the new ownership would try to restructure everything at the club.

Several coaches have come to United and failed likewise, some players too. I feel that it's an internal problem and not about the coaches or the players. It seems that United is adding too much pressure on both the coach and the players to provide them with instant results which is not possible. Sir, Alex Ferguson spent quite some years with United before he could build the team and won almost all the trophies that United had.

Looking at Manchester United today, I also think their problems aren't simple. Many issues arose after Sir Alex's departure. I even conclude that United's current problems are also due to Sir Alex's failure to prepare for a new generation before leaving.

After Sir Alex retired, Moyes took over as Manchester United's manager. We know he wasn't suited to coaching a team like Manchester United at the time. This transition caused United to lose confidence and even become a laughingstock. This is what has prevented United from recovering, despite a succession of coaches and players.

Manchester United's current problems are about mentality and trust. Therefore Manchester United needs a coach not only skilled at strategizing but also one who can inspire the players' passion. It's pointless to have a good coach but a declining mentality.

As far as I know, the Xavi rumours are based on "if" they fire Amorim, it doesn't say anything about them firing him yet. Xavi is available, and seems like will stay available for a while longer, which is weird considering he won La Liga with Barcelona and ever since he was fired nobody hired him, I have a feeling that people did asked him and he declined because I reject the idea that for 1.5 years nobody asked him.

So while I agree that United decided to keep Amorim, there is a possibility that if we see the mend up with a bad result, and eventually fire him, then Xavi is the one they are thinking, otherwise it is not going to be like just fire Amorim for Xavi for changing sake, it's about results Amorim gets and being ready for a possibility.

The rumor about sacking Amorim, and signing Xavi already denied by Ornstein. He says Amorim's position is safe, and fully backed by the minority share holders in MU. Expecting Amorim to leaves even when his team have terrible performance is too good to be true.

Yeah, those are just rumours and for now according to Manchester United board, they are not yet ready to fire Amorim as of now. If they fire him now or sooner of course they would have to pay him off and I think it's around £12 million. So technically, the club wouldn't want to pay they huge amount of money for sacking a coach only to employ another that they will start paying again.

What do you mean by instant pressure? Every club is expecting good results from the players and the coaching staff, should they expect less?
Maybe you've forgotten how much was spend during the summer window to ensure changes to be made in the team. Mbemo and Cunha were Premier league proving. Only Sesko was bought in outside the league.

I just want to see Reuben Amorim suffer after talking trash against the previous managers and on the players the sent out of the club.

I believe you have been following up on the issues that is surrounding the performance of Manchester United if you have you should know better that pressure is not the reason why the coaches that has managed the team and left could not get a good result for the team, firstly the team was having wrong players who couldn't perform well for the team but right now the problem is the manager because he is using a formation that his players are finding it difficult to adapt and during the team of Sir Alex Ferguson the club believed in him due to his relationship with the management and how he was changing the team gradually not like the modern day coaches that blames their players when they fail.

But in any case, this season is entirely at Amorim's disposal.

This won't go down well with some Manchester united fans, Lol.
And the crazy thing is, Amorim always finds a way to win certain games, especially when it looks like the media has been discussing alot about him. Just imagine allowing Amorim to continue as the manager for remaining 34 games, when they're currently sitting at 14th position with just 6 games played so far. It's going to be a long ride for United honestly.

Maybe he might eventually get a few games right as time goes, who knows. But he doesn't look like a long term manager for the club. I honestly hope the fans have the courage to bear with him if he eventually stays for the entire season.

Manchester United have sacked too many managers and have never had the chance to build up with a manager. Now, Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos are currently backing Ruben Amorim just the same way Liverpool management did when they backed Jurgen Klopp during his hard phase. But what I expect is the some your best players being axed out completely. I'm alsoa expecting a positive impact when they host Sunderland later today at Old Trafford. This game should be three points for us before the International break.

We must be sincere with ourselves, Manchester United problem started when their began to sack their managers at regular intervals, and giving new managers targets goals and winning to meet and unable to meet that can lead to their sack also, this thing is what affected Manchester United performance for a very long time now, and from the recent actions, is as if Manchester United is not ready to change from that pattern until now even though their are making some positive changes in performance their need consistentcy to stay ahead.

I'm not expecting anything different... At least that's from my own personal standpoint. I've always said this and I'll still say it again -- you can't expect to see changes in an instance, even if Pep was called for the job.

 Xavi had a good season with Barcelona, but what's the guarantee of doing the same with united? Zero. They got way different players, with very different abilities to play, adaptation skills etc.. so he would also need time to blend in with these players. Let's just hope the deal gets completed and we all get to see the outcome.

It’s true, Sir Alex Ferguson also had a difficult start before eventually leading Manchester United to great success. Keeping a manager for a long time offers a greater chance of winning trophies, but in today’s era, that’s very hard to do because club owner and fans lack patience. It seems that everyone wants instant success right after overhauling the squad and replacing the manager.

Overall, most elite clubs today appear to follow the same policy, they will sack the manager if he fails to deliver a trophy within one or two seasons, especially if the club suffers a serious decline. Of course, this is understandable, as clubs spend large budgets in the transfer market and expect success to come as quickly as possible.

Yes the longer the manager stays the more he becomes use to players and can fixed them in match properly to deliver the expectations of the clubs, but after the few success, sir Alex happens to be one of the last Manchester United most stable manager before the constant and rapid changing in manager and coach started rolling so high with Manchester United, this led to the poor formation and performance already.

Recently, I heard rumors about Man United that Zidane is ready to return to coaching. According to rumors, he is prepared to replace Amorim, because Manchester United's performance has not been improving. Zidane wants Manchester United to have a complete squad and a stable environment. Besides Zidane, it seems that Xavi Hernandez is also rumored to be ready to take over Amorim's role. Indeed, both coaches currently do not have contracts binding them to other clubs. I think if Amorim does not quickly improve the team's performance, he might be fired soon.

Even if Zidane has decided to return to coaching I don’t see any reason he will want to dent is shining career by coaching Manchester United, that club pulls down everything that comes in contact with it, I love Zidane and don’t wish that for him. I also sense sack for Amorim coming soon if things do not change quickly.

According to media reports, Xavi is the first choice for Manchester United. It’s hard for anyone to bring the club back to where it belongs, but i believe Xavi could do it. If Amorim doesn’t get 3 points against Sunderland, he has nothing left to hope for. The Manchester United board must think carefully about whom they will appoint.

€200 million for what?
It’s way too big for the player like Julian Alvarez because he is just coming up and never got that hype he deserve to get such market value; his market value should be around €85-100 million because of the club he is playing for and the nature of league.

Liverpool and Newcastle United were not on the same page because Newcastle United never wanted Isak to go, but since Liverpool insisted they decide to put high amount and stocked to the amount to discourage Liverpool, but they paid because they wanted the player in their team.

Unless if Alvarez get a bid from more than two top teams across Europe and he should have scored at least 30 goals this season, if not, his market value will never be up to €120 million.

Besides them, Barcelona is also the one who to keeping an eye on Julian Alvarez for a possible Robert Lewandowski replacement. Robert Lewandowski has already expressed his opinion that he will leave the club at the end of the season. So that's why Barcelona is looking for his replacement. Barcelona is still trailing with financial criticism, and I think it's would be hard for them to sign him permanently...

Thus far, Atlatico Madrid is also demanding high price the which and Barcelona probably wouldn't have that money to sign him permanently as a Robert Lewandowski replacement. But personally Julian Alvarez is big fan of Baraca and now it is up to him does he sacrifice his value for Barca or does he prefer a big price tag.
