⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DIA7]

A lot of movements today...Deals/rumours:

- Kepa (Atheletic Club) to Chelsea almost done deal. He will become the most expensive GK, transfer fee will be around €80m (release clause).

- Kovacic close to signing with Chelsea on loan (1 year), no option to buy (for now).

- Joe Hart to Burnley confirmed.

- Adama Traoré (Middlesbrough) to Wolverhampton for €20m confirmed.

- According to rumours, Fekir is close to signing with Chelsea.

- Kalinic (AC Milan) to Atletico Madrid almost done deal.

- Pjaca (Juventus) and Mirallas (Everton) will sign with Fiorentina.

finaly some good news for Chelsea because the situation for Sarri was even worse then Mourinho the Media was focused on Manchester and Sarri didn't drawn attention to his problems as well know he yet to know the future of goalkeeper and first star Hazard are still unknown and only one player thry signed in all summer that was Jorginho, has been bought.

Biggest one Arsenal has new owner
Stan Kroenke’s £550m offer to buy outright ownership of Arsenal is accepted
£550m very cheap price for just one Naymar was over 220 mln euro
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/07/arsenal-stan-kroenke-offer-buy-club-outright

it's only 30% it's the share of Russian shareholder the total worth pf Arsenal is £2.3B close to squad of 11 Neymar.
From what i'm hearing is that Kroenke now have 90% of Arsenal shares the rest 10% is owned by fans he intend to bye the rest and remove Arsenal from the stock exchange and transform the club into a private company.

Transfer window in England is closing in few days so we will be bombarded by press news
Last one is from The Times
Pogba to Barca for 224 mln euro i really can't believe all that hype

Wow. Pogba to Barca? All this while people were all about Pogba going to Juve.

Fun fact: Tottenham Hotspur hasn't signed anybody in the whole Transfer Window and is the only team in the Premier League for not having signed anybody.

Some last hour goalkeeper transfer rumours I found quite interesting: Chelsea are looking for a new goalie before the transfer window closes on Thursday. Allegedly they are trying to sign Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid as their number 1 priority and if that deal doesn't go through they will try getting Jack Butland from Stoke City instead. Thibaut Courtois is likely to join Real Madrid if Chelsea let him go.

I hope Chelsea don’t sign Oblak, he’s a top class goalkeeper. Yeah, let them sign Jack Butland instead.

fourfourtwo.com rank him the best goalkeeper in the world right now 

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ranked-10-best-goalkeepers-world

Chelsea doesn't seem to be interested in Oblak ,now that they are almost too close to signing Kepa for 80 Mil and news also state that Kepa would be arriving in London tomorrow.

Looove the Adama Traore signing by Wolverhampton.  He's worth every penny imo, watch.  The guy is very quick on his feet and loves to take on defenders.  His decision making could use a little bit more work but nothing some experience under a good coach couldn't fix.

He'll be playing in a big club one day...

That's not fun if you're a Tottenham fan LOL but I'm sure they'll make some surprising signings tomorrow...right?

He's a great player, fast, dribbler, strong...Too bad he didn't make a good impression in Barcelona, only played one match and it was only for 16 minutes. But 20m for a 22yo with experience in the EPL is a bargain, especially in the current market.

And Wolverhampton are killing it with cheap and good transfers this summer: Jonny Castro (on loan from Atletico), Joao Moutinho (£5m), Raúl Jiménez (on loan from Benfica), Rui Patrício (18m), and now Adama. Also, there are rumours that Wolves want to sign Zinchenko (Manchester City), though I think it's going to be difficult since Pep really likes this player. They're also looking to sign Dendoncker from Anderlecht for £12m.

So there is possible to create good team without spending fortune

Last plots Boateng is going to stay with Bayern Pogba wants to leave because he doesn't like Mourinho but Manchester wants him to stay
Last 48 hours in England is coming so will be crazy

I am not sure if Boateng will stay with Bayern. I would be glad if so, because I'm a fan of Bayern. But I think ManU is playing poker. The offered transfer fee was comparatively low. I think ManU will again make a higher offer. Bayern and Boateng have signaled to be interested in an offer.

Well, its a good thing that I am not a Spurs fan.   Surprise signings, hmm, I reckon they won't.

Boateng personally phoned Mourhino and told he is not going to Manchester United.
Its official, Thibaut Courtois is the latest player to join the Real Madrid squad for around 35 Million Euros.

It has been confirmed that he really did phone Mourinho to tell him that he is not joining united. Too bad indeed, I was hoping Boateng could join him. I dont even impressed with any deal from real madrid. Basically they could almost sign any player that they want to. The only news Im waiting for now is another exclusive major deals coming from premier league

Well, you got to applaud the guts and confidence in Boateng.

Last year Perez was all like"I won't sell Ronaldo even if they weigh his value in gold." Well, look what happened.

Kepa to Chelsea for 71 Million Euros confirmed. He will be the highest signed Goal Keeper ever. I am disappointed that it was him and not someone to get such a title.

it's 80M euros if it was 71 Alisson would have stayed the highest fee paid for a GK Liverpool paid 75M Euros also i heared that Keppa had only 20M realease clause and they bomped to 80 when they renewed his contract that move gained them 60M they are now thrilled with that the only problem will be  finding a good Basque keeper will not be easy.
Manchester United dreams of signing Meguire have been boosted as Leicester are getting two defenders before window closes Filip Benkovic have already done his medical coming from Dinamo zagreb for £13.5M and turkish defender Caglar Soyuncu coming from Freiburg for £22.5M.
west Ham are about to complete the signing for the 29 spanish forward Lucas Perez from Arsenal, he will cost them a some of £5M.
crystal Palace and fulham want to buy swensea striker Andre ayew from swensea the Ghanian forwaed is refusing to stay in Championship and dose not want to train with the club.

[LTU_btc]

So, Th. Courtois now is Real Madrid player officially. I hardly can understand this transfer because Real already have great goalkeeper Navas. Why they need to have another top class goaleeper.

Kepa to Chelsea for 71 Million £ confirmed. He will be the highest signed Goal Keeper ever. I am disappointed that it was him and not someone to get such a title.

Kepa is good goalkeeper, I watched many of his matches in Bilbao, but he isn't something special and 71 million € for him is way too much. Anyway, I don't think that he will have title of most expensive goalkeeper for long.

[Wendigo]

Thibaut Courtois was sold to Real Madrid, because he refused to go to Chelsea team trainings unless he is transferred to the Spanish team so they transferred him. Also, Keylor Navas is 31 years old while Courtois is 26, and I think Real are investing in the Belgian goalkeeper for the future as their first choice player. Looks like Chelsea had no other choice but to get rid of him.

Courtois move imminent it was only a matter of time, he's been cosying up to the idea of playing as the No 1 stooper of Real Madrid, and it's a win situation for all three parties, definitely he's the No1 keeper now, somewhere in this transfer Manchester United have won the biggest assect their No 1 stooper De Gea needs not to go anywhere.

Kepa is good goalkeeper, I watched many of his matches in Bilbao, but he isn't something special and 71 million € for him is way too much. Anyway, I don't think that he will have title of most expensive goalkeeper for long.

Indeed Kepa has safe pair of hands, but the price of 71$ million is overrated, but then this is the post Neymar era, all transfer prices are inflated.

Manchester United are trying to get Godin a 32 year old defender to solve their problems, I hardly see it as a solution to their problems, I do not expect any more signings what do you'll think.

Yup.  I actually thought the Spurs would be making big signings since Levy said they're gonna take 'huge risks' during this transfer window.  Poch even met with him after the season ended to decide on his future, and since Poch signed a new contract to stay at Tottenham, I assumed it was a big transfer budget that made him stay.  Lol.

And yeah...  The Wolves will certainly be entertaining to follow this season.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Been a quiet transfer deadline day in the PL, not many big deals. Quite boring, I’ve spent all day watching Sky Sports News waiting for big deals to go through.

Kepa is good solution for Chelsea. He is young and excellent goalkepper. The future is front of him.
Godin is a good defender but he has 32 year old and I think that he isnt a good solution for MANU. They can find a younger defender, for example Nikola Milenkovic. For now Yerry Mina signed to Everton.

Everton get mad in last hours
Done deal – Everton agree to sign Andre Gomes from Barcelona
Done deal – Everton agree Mina deal with Barcelona

West Ham will announce the signing of Carlos Sanchez soon
Done deal – Everton sign Bernard

looks like Spurs will stay with nothing

[tomahawk9]

It's been a busy deadline day in the EPL. Some of the most important transfers so far:

• Yerry Mina (Barcelona) to Everton.
• Andrés Gomes (Barcelona) to Everton on loan.
• Sergio Rico (Sevilla) to Fulham on loan.
• Lucas Perez (Arsenal) to West Ham.
• Carlos Sáchez (Espanyol) to West Ham.
• Dendocker (Anderletch) to Wolves on loan.
• Kepa to Chelsea confirmed. Kovacic (Real Madrid) also joins Chelsea on loan.
• Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk) to Everton.
• Kalinic (AC Milan) to Atletico Madrid.
• Federico Fernández (Swansea) to Newcastle.
• Luciano Vietto (Atletico Madrid) to Fulham on loan.
• Jordan Ayew (Swansea) to Crystal Palace on loan.
• Mensah (Man Utd) to Fulham on loan.
• Danny Ings (Liverpool) to Southampton
• Frank Zambo Anguissa (Marseille) to Fulham
• Montoya (Valencia) to Brighton

I'm done with updates. I believe those are the biggest signings of the day, especially in the EPL.

I believe Tottenham becomes the first club in the history of the EPL to not make a signing during a summer transfer window.

Everton is really aggresive on the last hours, it seems they are trying to be aiming the top four spot this season or perhaps the fifth spot. I wonder what will manchester united be doing. The top highlight will always wether the top tier team will be able to get some massive deal or not, so until it really close this will be a hot topic for the coming hours

Fuck me, I meant Pounds. So at the end, nor was Pogba sold, nor did Man United acquire Maguire? I am wondering what Mourhino is going to do now. He had issues with the board regarding their spendings.

I found it quite funny when Mourhino was all like," Its Liverpool, they are buying all the best players." But then you realize that Mourhino has spent twice the amount of money than Klopp from the time they have been managers. So Hazard never left? Didn't he want to leave or something?
