⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Breaking news: This just came in, Carlo Ancelotti has been sacked by Bayern Munich because of the disappointing result at their Champions League match against PSG. The loss against PSG was the last straw after Ancelotti managed to have a very bad start in the Bundesliga Season. If you want to know more about the issue, you can head here to read more about it.

This news is very surprising to me, I did not expect Ancelotti will be so quickly fired by Bayern Munich. I know this season Ancelotti did not start well, the trouble in the Bundes Liga, the big loss from Paris Saint Germain is a result that Bayern Munich should not get but I think the season is still long and that should not be the club desperate to fire him.

The fact of the matter is though, Bayern did not really strengthen their side compared to the lineup that PSG has. They have kept almost the same squad. Besides, that lineup that lost against PSG was missing Neuer in goal. It's like Atletico without Oblak, Chelsea without Courtouis or Spurs without Lloris. That's how important Neuer is between the sticks for Bayern.

Leonardo (a few years ago coach of Inter and Ac Milan, and Sports Director of Psg)
 is the new coach of Antalyaspor who has among his players Menez, Nasri and Eto'o!
He signed a two-year contract.

Real Madrid have renewed contract Marco Asensio he has extended his contract duration to summer 2023 and as always for Madrid his deal will contain a buyout clause of €700 million. He is the seventh player to extend his contract with the capital club they are now only waiting for Ronaldo to decide either to renew or not after a some rumors before when he was convicted of tax evasion he wanted to leave it's now the matter in Florentino Perez hands to decide whatever he still wants the Portogues star for more seasons to come so we still have plenty of time to see the end of it.

Hi everyone)
Real Madrid shows us again how much is a perfect system, he is can protect 7 of his players when he renews contracts of them in short period.
He renews a contract  Benzema, Marcos Llorente until 2021 and contracts Marcelo, Isco, Carvajal, Varane until 2022 and today protects he is a gem Asensio with a contract until 2023.
I think others clubs should start to learn from Real Madrid how to protect your players with a long contract.

You can't blame Rummenigge. Bayern was playing much better and more attractive under Guardiola.

This was way too harsh, I remember Guardiola suffering a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena but he didn't get sacked, all he could really do was to win the Bundesliga and that's the same trophy that Ancelotti won in his first year at the Club more time should have been given because without doubt he was going to turn it around eventually.

Some people and players were unhappy of Bayern style very defenciveto much italian,it is not just of one game.But Bayern need to rethink how thay manage club,with Ancelotti or without thay can have trouble in Bundesliga

Hey guys, I was planning on locking this thread since the transfer window has gone but I changed my mind and made this the sort of official transfers odds and information thread.  So I changed the title to 'Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions'.

Seems counter intuitive to make a new thread every year.  But I will change the OP every transfer window to keep it up to date.

Ernesto Valverde is hoping to restructure Barcelona squad in the winter transfer window and it's expected from him to off-load Arda Turan and Vermaelen as both player's didn't feature for a single minute in the Champions League or La Liga this season so no doubt that they wouldn't be seen as Barcelona players in February Andre Gomes possible to see him go I was sure that they would easily find a club that willing to pay them what they spent on him in summer we could have seen him go to any of the top premier league teams every single one showed interest but didn't go all the way through but it will be interesting to see who they gonna bring to help the team get back at his best.

Arda Turan has been a flop at Barcelona and while it hasn't been his fault entirely he wasn't able to adapt to the style that Barcelona plays and i believe that he should have stayed at Atletico Madrid who clearly needed him most. Though Vermaeleen is a competent defender, injury alone has been his downfall, both players should be let to move so that they can have a future somehow.

One exciting scenario that could happen on the summer transfer window of 2018.  This could be a little too farfetched but bear with me...

Messi still hasn't signed Barca's new offer and his most likely destination if he leaves is Man City to reunite with Pep.  And what would be Mourinho's answer to this?  They will bid for the other Argentinian who's dubbed as the 'next Messi':  Dybala.  With Man United's financial power, I think they could acquire him.

What do you guys think?

I think Messi is an icon of Barcelona and should end his career with Barcelona.
He will reach the 100 goals in the champion's league(96 goals scored at this time) this year and I am convinced he will also reach 500 goals in Liga( 360 goals scored at this time).
If Messi goes away, Barcelona will reinvest the money for Dybala,
so we will hardly see both of them in Manchester, though it would be really intriguing.

Messi has been icon for Barcelona while other player come and go but Messi still remain in this team even other teams had an ambition to bring Messi out from Barcelona and in my view Barcelona has too stupid if they losing Messi and indeed extended contract still main issue between Barcelona and Messi although Barcelona offering high salary but seems Messi deliberately to delay but if Barcelona get Dybala on winter transfer maybe Messi will change his mind

[joebrook]

In other news, Andres Iniesta has signed a lifetime contract for the Catalan side and indeed i see it as the best and only way for him to end his footballing career. I am sure that he is going to be offered a managerial position at the club if that's what he really wanted.

Messi at the moment is divided on whether to seek new challenges elsewhere or continue with the Catalan side, he must have heard reports that he would be of that much influence if he played elsewhere and from the looks of things, he wants to prove all his critics wrong and to me that's why he doesn't want to renew his contract.

[AlexandrInt]

Age Messi did not allow him to play at the level at which he played several years ago. Therefore, it is better to stay in Barcelona and sign a new contract with this club.

Looks like it's official.  Jupp Heynckes will manage Bayern Munich til the end of the season after the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti one month ago.  All the clubs in the CL better watch out.  This guy is a tactical genius.  And look at those beady eeeeeyyyyyeeeessss.

tokeweed LOL. Beady eyes have been the bane of many an underestimating competitor. I know everyone called him the Tinkerman and brushed him off as an experiment but when Claudio Ranieri took over at Leicester City, I was probably the only one who noticed that he wasn't quite the same affable fella he might have been at Stamford Bridge. Those eyes man, they'd become beady and calculative. Dilly dong and pizza after victory were just a long drawn out smokescreen. And guess what happened after they won? The beady eyes left. Beware the beady eyes. Heynckes will emit blue Aryan hellfire from those beads.

It was official but now I doubt with the ability of this old grandfather to keep the success of Bayern Munich. Become a club manager as big as Bayern Munich at the age of 72 years? Looks like a panic movement from the club. He may have experience, but I'm not sure his experience can compete with the current Bundes League which is likely to be a much tighter competition than when he was still manager of Bayern Munich.

So do you think messi has ended I see he is still the same like a few years ago that differentiate only now he does not get the support of a great midfielder like Iniesta, xavi hernandez.
