⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[webtricks]

So, it's official - Griezmann is leaving Atletico Madrid after this season. And guess from one time where he will move now. I'm not sure why, but as a fan of Barca I'm looking a bit sceptical towards him. I have fears that story of Coutinho can repeat again...

Coutinho was magnificent in first half of La Liga this season. But later on after injury, he paced down and started doing mistakes. This concentrated performance pressure and he dealt horribly with pressure. Now he is completely off-play. But that doesn't mean he didn't suit to Barca style.

Griezmann on the other side has completely different story. He is a smart attacking player but he always need one more player in front of him to create space for him, let it be Giroud in France team or Morata/Costa in Atletico. But in Barca, he won't get this service. However, I think Griezmann can fit in Barca style if Dembele changes his role. If he can make those long runs from left side and create spaces, Griezmann can surely lead counter attacks from middle with Messi on his right. In current system, Suarez and Coutinho are too slow for counter attack. But after Griezmann arrival, this department might get better for Barca.

I don't know how many more star players need for  Barca.They already have the best player in the world, Dembele, Suarez, Malcom, Vidal, Jordi Alba, Pique, One of the best Goal-keeper T. Stegen  and more.But still they got bottled up in UCL.Griezmann will be very good option for Barcelona.But I think Barcelona shouldn’t focus on names rather on match winners.

That is the problem, most if a player moves to a rival club will certainly be said to be a traitor. I found the news and the news was not necessarily true only the rumor was a possibility. That there are 3 clubs that might want to receive services from Griezmann namely Barcelona, PSG and Manchester United. And many also say that Griezmann is not suitable in Barcelona.

I also doubt he will shine in Barcelona so long as Messi is still the main Focal point there. He will be very average there just like most of Barca's recent signing.
Griezmann has been thriving in Atletico because he was the main man forward. Also, Most of Atletico's Penalties were also taken by him which helped raise his goal tally. Imagine going to Barcelona well almost all Pens are given to Messi 

I think PSG would be a good place for him now that Cavani is slowly fading off and Neymar is always on clutches.
Manchester United? Very very bad idea for now 

That's why maybe Neymer moved to PSG, because he wasn't the main one. Always messi messi and messi, maybe that is also a bad thing if Griezmann but Barcelona. If we speak the combination may be very suitable for him there, but this may remain messi which is the main spear of Barcelona.

We don't know where Griezmann will really move, I hope not to move to Manchester United. as you say that moving to Manchester United is a bad thing.

Since when Neuer is playing for Barca? Maybe you mean ter Stegen lol . And I hardly can call players like Malcom Vidal as stars. But I agree with your opinion, I don't like Barca transfers policy in recent years - we saw huge money paid for players like Dembele, Coutinho, Paulinho and they not always brings expected result. It will be interesting to watch how Griezmann will perform.
But there is one thing - buying star player for a big money is less risky than buy some unknown playees as future prospects. Offcourse, we also have some nice exeptions. It's Arthur, I'm not sure how many people heard his name before Barca bought him, but he had very solid season.

If Griezmann leaves Atleti there is no way Man Utd is a realistic team for him to join. They are crap, no CL football & no hope. It’s going to take years for them to compete for the big trophies.

I agree with you, Atletico Madrid obviously seem a better place for him than Man Utd, except if the money influences his decision, I don't see why he would leave Atleti just to Man Utd, who has been less competitive over the years.

Griezmann never learns, he wanted to do the exact same thing he did last year, make a documentary where he was announcing his departure from Atletico.
The guy is not very smart, he got lot of negative reactions from this last year. Atletico forced him to announce his departure in a more regular way this time.

Big teams like Barcelona and Madrid do not get players just because they want to play them, they get players because of two reasons. One is they have so much money that they have to spend it on something eventually, they don't think like other clubs to get 10 million dollar Wonderkid that will change their lives or something, they outright give 100 million to hazard and be done with it because they rather do that then actually find stars.

On the other hand they also want the opponents not to have those great players, hazard and griezmann are both great players that should not be on another team and even if you bench him its better he is on your bench then on other teams starting eleven. You can't really deny the fact that these teams can spend 200 million a year and still profit insanely and then not spend money crazily on these players, any one of us would do the same as well.

Paulo Dybala could leave Juventus this summer according his brother;

“There is a big chance that Paulo will leave Turin, he needs a change,” Gustavo said in an interview with Radio Impacto show Futbolemico. - Source: Goal.com

Will he be a perfect replacement for Atletico Madrid's exit bound Griezmann ?

M. Neuer was superb this year for Barcelona. He had amazing season in Camp Nou and I hope he wins Ballon d'Or for his extraordinary performance for Barca.
He doesn't even play for Barcelona! How difficult is to distinguish between two Germans? LoL.

You said 'best player in the World'. But you mentioned:
Dembele (not even World Cup starter for France)
Suarez (old and almost done)
Malcom (still young and not even among the Top 20 wingers of the World right now)
Vidal (always the second choice to Arthur in team)

So I don't feel these players are best talents currently. Barca need a striker like Griezmann for more prowess in attack!

I think yes, it will be a very good purchase for Atletico. Paulo lost himself in Juventus after Ronaldo's arrival thus it would be a good choice to change a team.

I don't want Barcelona to go for Griezmann, it's going to be another failed signing! Barcelona needs a center forward, Antoine Griezmann isn't one! Neither is he a winger, he's best position is to play behind a center forward, Barcelona style doesn't need a player for that Arthur could do that effectively, Messi does that. Just sign Jovic and/or if necessary a winger.

Have you seen this? Max Allegri is leaving Juventus.

How do you think it will affect club's transfers? Can we expect some big names coming to Turin?

There were a lot of rumors about Juve's transfer offensive, they should only increase in upcoming weeks.

Who do you see adoring an Old Lady this summer?

I meant T.Stegen, my bad, both are from Germany and was thinking about M.Neuer, so in flow I made a mistake.

You should notice I have puted a comma between all the players I mentioned, who is the best player in the world? Do I have to mention his name? I don't think so, be a smart  ass.Suarez scored 24 goals with 10 assists.He is one of the best IMO.Malcom is very talented and scored crucial goal against Real Madrid, I am very fond of this guy.Vidal has the dedication Which I didn’t found any of Barca players.

I don't think there will be transfer spree due to this, I think he's time is indeed over at Juventus, he should take up another challenge.

It seem Allegri will not be the only Coach out of a job as the summer approaches as Bayern Munich are said to be parting ways with Kovac after the end of the season too.

^  I wanna see Mou take over...  Just to shake the cage in that part of the world and give them a bit of controversy.  It makes for good TV. 

[Naida_BR]

There are rumors that Mauricio Sarri is already sacked and Chelsea just waits the Europa League final to be finished and announce it.
After the transfer ban that has been posed from FIFA he doesn't want to continue on Chelsea because they he will not be able to ask for new signings. Bad news fors the club. Maybe a former player like Frank Lampard may sign as new coach.

[kenzawak]

Former LB Sylvinho (Arsenal, Celta, Barca...) could become the coach of French club Lyon. He used to be the assistant of Tite in the Brazilian national team. He has never coached any club before.

^  I wanna see Mou take over...  Just to shake the cage in that part of the world and give them a bit of controversy.  It makes for good TV. 

For real! I've missed Mourinho managing a football team, most especially he words and quote against the press or other managers. Derbies are not the same without Mourinho on either sidelines.

I doubt he'd be appointed at Bayern though, because of Bayern's tactics and philosophy would definitely have to change. He'd have a better shot at managing PSG than Bayern, That's just my view anyway.

[kenzawak]

Griezmann's lawyer is supposed to be in Barcelona for the next 3 days to seal a transfer of the French player.
But Barca will probably have to wait until July to sign Griezmann because then his release clause will go from 200 to 120 millions Euros.

Have you seen this? Max Allegri is leaving Juventus.

I also saw this earlier on today.
As soon as Juventus failed to make it in Europe even after spending lots of money on the Champion's League Maestro Ronaldo, i knew it was time for him to leave despite impressive work in the local league.

The Summer spending may also be massive given that Juventus are really yearning for European success
