⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DaNNy001]

Of course, he should have known that a lot will ne expected from him for going to a big team like Liverpool. I hooe that hw can cope soonest with the team game pattern in order to avoid critics from people because when much is expected from you and you're not meeting up to expectations, the fans will start complaining.

It's understandable that many had high expectations given his high price tag, but Isak performance didn't match that price tag. And I don't think Isak is the only one struggling at Liverpool. Writz and Ekitike are also struggling. Perhaps it's not just adaptation that's the factor. I suspect Arne is having trouble managing these players because Liverpool performance is so different compared to last season.

When defeats hit valuable players and coaches were questioned, regarded as unable to control or rather everything did not match the expectations of the audience, this criticism often arises when a team experiences a sudden decline Ekitike, Wirtz, and Isak began to be raided in several losing matches, 4 consecutive losing matches, even Arne Slot was affected it was very natural, just like what had happened to Manchester United before when performing poorly, people's views will still criticize.

I don't know if it's too early to conclude that Liverpool are currently heading to that lane of struggling to win games because the spree of loses is unethical and I don't see this Liverpool team to be that weak. Now the most important question all Liverpool supporters should be asking is where problem is coming from because with the kind of squad they have they would be unbeaten in the league and probably also in the champions league but look at where they are now.

Messi seems to be doing fine at MLS, he doesn't "need" to retire yet , and he is still playing fine, Ronaldo is the same. I do not think either of them will retire anytime soon, I think there is at least one more year for them to play. Messi is at playoffs right now, so I think one more season is quite possible, and Ronaldo just started his, which I think won't be his last.

These are old players I agree, and I am shocked that they are still playing so well, that's true, but at the very least they are looking good. None of them shocks me as much as Modric though, because both Messi and Ronaldo was out of Europe at that age, whereas Modric is still at Milan, trying to win titles there, which is a huge achievement.

Messi might play one or two more years and that might be it. I think he will retire in his childhood club for sure and not in Inter Miami. But still Messi gives Inter Miami so much quality and he still plays really good. On the other hand i think Ronaldo will play 3-4 years more for sure. He wants to break all of the records plus he looks fit still. Modric as i see dosent care about money and he wants to play the highest quality of football and thats why he is in Milan

[Donneski]

I would like to talk about especially Isak here...

He missed pre-season training and didn't play in many games at Newcastle first. This had a big affect on getting ready for the new season. He still has 0 goal scored at Liverpool in the Premier League and Champions League.

And now he is suffering an injury due to adductor pain and I don't know the return date.    They paid 145 million euros for him and so far he is a disappointment. Just like Wirtz still is.

I've said it timelessly that some players just needs to understand that they'll easily not live up expectations again the moment they leave the club that brought them to limelight — that's not because they aren't good enough to still perform at top level but because the new club's style of football might be very different from that of the club they were giving world class performance week in, week out.
Alexander Isak was considered as the second best striker in England after Erling Haaland up till the end of last season but immediately Liverpool came calling, he lost his focus at Newcastle and wanted the deal to happen by all means but right now, even his replacement at Newcastle Nick Woltemade is having a more productive campaign than him who's yet to register a goal in his new club. For a player like Isak that I love his style of football, I'll love to see him score multiple goals again but I think his situation should serve as a lesson to other players.

[Fiatless]

This is not the Isak of Newcastle that we know. He thought that coming to Liverpool will make him shine better but look at what's happening to him. He hasn't found the back of the net since he came to Liverpool. If he was in Newcastle, he should have scored more than one goal by now. How will Isak feel with his new club. Too many professional players and too many unexpected losses.

The entire Liverpool team is going through hard times. They have struggled to coordinate games and create chances.  Only Alexander Isak cannot change the poor performance of the club. He is just coming into a new team, and he would need time to get used to the pattern of play. Kylian Mbappe is not having a good time in Real Madrid, but he was heavily criticised when he arrived because he was playing below expectations. Isak is a good player, but he needs the support of other players.to give his best.

TUDOR gets SACKED!!!

This is the latest news i hear from Romano. Juventus seems lose their patience after they suffer lose streak, and sacked him immediately. I know he has been so shite in the last games by unable not winning his club three points, but i think it's too fast to sack him.
They obviously do it in the wrong time.

There are two candidates to become his replacement

1. Spalletti
2. Palladino

None of the names above makes me interested in, but still worthy to try consider there is literally no best coach available at this moment. if i were to choose between those names, i'd go to the Spalletti instead of Palladino. More exp and ever won a scudetto.

Firing Tudor sooner would be better for Juventus right now, especially since under Tudor, Juventus hasn't developed as well as it should. But I must honestly say, before hiring new coaches like Spalletti and Palladino, Juventus must first improve their management structure. Besides Tudor another real problem is management.

Without solid management Juventus hiring a good coach won't change anything, as the problem lies within the Juventus organization and the players. Hiring Spalletti is a good choice so no one can say he doesn't know how to coach. If Juventus continues to perform poorly, they will eventually discover the real problems, starting with substandard players and poor management. Because management has so far been unable to execute a successful transfer campaign, Juventus has become a mediocre team and ultimately fired the coach. Without a top midfield and attackers, Juventus remains a soulless team, even with Spalletti as its coach.

Writz and Ekitike are also struggling. Perhaps it's not just adaptation that's the factor. I suspect Arne is having trouble managing these players because Liverpool performance is so different compared to last season.

Jeremie Frimpong has also struggled to adapt, and overall, the new players have yet to perform up to expectations, especially considering their rather high price tags. Van Dijk and M. Salah have also started to slow down, and at certain points, they seem to deeply miss the presence of Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander Arnold.
I think the chemistry between the players hasn’t been established properly yet, and the new signings still don’t fully understand what Arne Slot wants from them. As the season progresses, Liverpool might eventually manage to bounce back, although we know it won’t be easy. Liverpool will face a tough stretch in their attempt to recover, with their next five fixtures being quite challenging, against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest.

Ronaldo challenged in Europe's diffrent major leagues... On the other hand, Messi played for an unrivaled team in France after being part of a great team at Barcelona, and now he has gone to a farm in America. Undoubtedly, Messi is a great talent, but he also has a beautiful destiny. Ronaldo is someone who shaped his destiny by fighting against natural circumstances...

I'm used to statement like this, it is not a surprise when you don't like a player. Ronaldo and Messi are very good players, everyone has their preference on who they think to be the best, i won't be little the effort of one and praise the other. Messi have records that Ronaldo didn't break, likewise Ronaldo creating records that still stands and Messi is yet to break even if he plays till 2028. Both are the best to have ever played the sport and should be respected equally.

Ronaldo and Messi made us loved football and how they've been really consistent this past years. I believe we all have choices to selects from and seen the vast majority taking the sides of Cristiano Ronaldo and also another vast number tagging along for Leo Messi. No doubt these players have made name for themselves and have become straight forward in ensuring they're reaping every coin while they're actively playing for their perspective clubs.

When we all thought we've seen the end of an era for Ronaldo and Messi, these legends didn't hesitate when they're offered contracts and decided to continue playing football. Ronaldo and Messi are great players in Europe, we're opportune to watch these players competing against each other in European football, a memorable events we won't forget in a hurry.

Let's us remove emotions and sentiment, Alexander Isak was overrated because this is a player that Liverpool broke the bank just to sign him to the squad. I could remember how his contract to Liverpool caused some misunderstanding between him and Newcastle when the club was demanding for a higher fee. When he came to the squad, we expected to see that high spirit he showcase at Newcastle but he is really playing below the way he played for them. After 8 games he could only score 1 goal and you say we should not criticize such a striker and give him more time to adapt? the only reason why Isak have not received a heavy criticism is because they team is still on a losing streak in the EPL, had it been that they are in good form and Isak was not able to align with the squad and score goals, that's where he would have received it hot from fans.

The most surprising thing that going on now is that the new signing at the Newcastle is actually filling the shoes that Alexander isak left which shows that for sure isak wasn't all that special as he has failed to impact in anyway whatsoever and till now he is still struggling and there is not much to be said about him too since he can't be given time to adjust like player who are coming from outside the premier League because he is already familiar with the league and all the clubs too.

I do not glory in people's predicaments, but to some certain extent I am happy about this Alexander isak situation. I don't know who advised Isak, but he was inconsiderate and his decision against his former Club Newcastle was not done in a good faith. His decision in one way or the other is setting the club back and him himself is even set back. Just imagine that Isak was still with Newcastle, they should automatically be in top for now doing very well.

Even if Alexander Isak will come back to his good form, at least it should not be this season. You should struggle through a decision to teach other players lesson to be okay and respectful to the club that brought them to the timeline

alexander Isak and Hugo ikiteke should be played together. And Mohamed Salah has been underperforming this season compared to last season. Forcing underperforming players will only lower the team's overall performance. When Salah was suggested for the Champions League match, Liverpool won convincingly away against a fairly strong Bundesliga team with a score of 5-1.

[Coyster]

alexander Isak and Hugo ikiteke should be played together.

Arne Slot would have to change his formation to accommodate these two strikers, he'll prolly have to play a 4-4-2 formation and i am not sure if he would fancy that. I think his favorite formation is the 4-2-3-1. That said, it is obvious that something has to change, Slot has to find new ideas to bring Liverpool out of the situation they are in now.

This is the perfect time for Slot to prove himself. Since he joined Liverpool, it has been smooth sailing for him, it is interesting to see how he recovers from this poor run of form.

This decision was hash, he had a very good start of the season which think he will recover after some matches because even the players are contributing to these poor form of the team, but the management will just put all the blame on managers and can’t be patient enough to see how the poor form will end, they do always make quick decisions on sacking managers just like that without warning or given them second chance.
Nottingham Forest did the same last week and now Juventus, I don’t think any of these listed candidates can do more than what Igur Tudor did for the club.

I don’t know why some of these club owners are not been patient again, they do always believe that they can’t just be losing matches after knowing that football is all about win or lose. Club owners before don’t do this, they give coaches time to restructure the team and some of them do get it right.

Manchester City of last season went ten games without winning a single match under Pep Guardiola and they kept him and they are now better, if Juventus can be patient, the coach will do well provided he had a great start this season.

Definitely these two is the beauty of football, like they are the artists... I really love to watch them Iike I am just obsessed with their style of play. Lionel Messi already said in the press conference that he wants to stay 2 years more. Like officially he is extending his contract and this extension will keep him with Miami til 2027. If we talked about his physical strength, he would still be much better than many players.

On the other side Cristiano Ronaldo is still quite good like his finishing competency is still quite good. He also can play for few more years. His current contract is till 2027 and maybe he won't be interested in extending it more.

That only happens if either one of the strikers is push to the wing or push to the no.10 role to play behind the other. This also means sacrifying Gakpo or Wirzt to accommodate both strikers in the team. Tactically it's not a good idea and I've never seen Slot play 442.

Liverpool problem is unusual i don't even know what's wrong with Liverpool team with their good squads, they did well last season and where also winning games when the league started of a sudden this team started losing games as if they have playing with 10 men against 11, not even that they will win one game this week and loss the next week rather they are losing back to back even with their good signings this season.

It's unethical seeing Liverpool losing with any team they have played against in the last 6 weeks both the games they played at Anfield and away apart from winning the German side 1:5 in the UEFA Champions league.

But let's not conclude yet that they are going to the lane of struggling to win games, but am surprised that can't even get a draw from those games they lost in a row.

Liverpool decline in performance has been a major surprise so far, even though everything seemed to be going according to expectations at the start of the season. Four consecutive losses indicate that Arne Slot squad is facing serious problems, and it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Broadly speaking, I assume that the new signings are struggling to adapt, while at the same time they carrying the burden of high expectations due to their hefty transfer fees.

However, I don’t want to say that Arne Slot has failed to manage the squad transition properly, especially after spending a significant budget to build an ideal squad. There is still time for Arne Slot to prove that the squad he has assembled this season can deliver the expected trophies, but of course, they must bounce back quickly and start winning in the upcoming matches.

Undoubtedly, Messi is a great talent, but he also has a beautiful destiny. Ronaldo is someone who shaped his destiny by fighting against natural circumstances...

I mean I do find both of them great, but just because Messi was loyal to one team doesn't mean Ronaldo played for some terrible teams. When Ronaldo played for United, that was the team that won UCL, so he played at a great one, when he played for Real Madrid, that was the team that won UCL 3 times in a row, when he played for Juventus, they were the team with 10 years in a row win, so whenever Ronaldo went to a team, he went to the best team too.

Messi may have picked PSG after playing at Barcelona for so long, but Ronaldo never picked a low level team neither, only maybe second stint at United but we all remember ow that one ended. So it's quite easy to point out that these are both awesome players, which is why best teams get the best players, it just makes sense.

I am a fan of giving coaches at least one full season to prove their worth. But most big clubs are not patient enough to wait that long because of the huge investment and pressure from fans. Big clubs have a massive fan base that could mount pressure on the club management and force them to make swift decisions. However, an eight-match winless run is too much for a big club like Juventus.

Igor Tudor, unfortunately, has to go but the listed replacements don't look good to me. Luciano Spalletti was a hero in Napoli but his last job was not impressive. Juventus needs a high-quality coach who has modern tactics. Let's see what Massimo Brambilla will do with the club as the interim coach.
