⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

But I doubt that these players can help Barca much.

Yeah, it's not like the lack of goals is the main problem...Barcelona are simply a one-man team, that's the real issue.

^  I heard...  Is he really good?  I don't really follow Dutch football.

Ziyech? You haven't seen him in the Champions League? He's like Mahrez 2.0, left footed, extremelly skilled, great ball control, passing...40M is a bargain, Chelsea are signing a top-class player.

Potential target for Liverpool, Timo Werner.  If LFC acquires that guy then Mane - Werner - Salah would be one of the best (or could even be the best) front three in Europe.

Can you imagine the counter attacks? The three of them could very well run the 100 meters in less than 10 secs

There is only one problem with that. How many teams will be willing to go out attacking against Liverpool? They will always have their chances from high pressing but that is not a conventional counter attack and maybe speed is not crucial factor.

I actually quite like Firmino in top of Liverpool attack, he brings a bit of different class and magic to their play. In other words, Werner is a great player but I think he looks for similar kind of open spaces like Salah and Mane and there could be problems with that. Mane and Salah are so good because Firmino is willing to drop back, stretch the defensive line and clear more space for them while simultaneously feed them trough balls.

@tomahawk9 I’ll agree with your analysis about Ziyech as he’s a top class player, and I’m completely shocked as to how did Chelsea get him for such a bargain price. Also I’m sincerely hoping that Liverpool do not get their target, because they’re unstoppable at this moment and if they get Werner then they’ll become completely invincible. According to various news reports Jack Grealish is keen to seal his transfer to Manchester United, and this is exciting news for Manchester United fans.

And Klopp would def love him.  He loves to run.  

Ziyech is an amazing player and he is a great signing for Chelsea.
In my opinion, he is what Chelsea needs, a young and talented midfielder with attacking preferences in his playstyle.
I watched some Ajax's games this season and I can say that his crosses are deadly!

Eredivisie isn't really that competitive compared to other European leagues we have, you'll always see Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, and AZ on the top four since there is really no competition going, that's why these teams can sell their top players all the time since they know what they have is enough to maintain their spots in the league. For Ziyech moving to Chelsea I don't know why he agreed to it in the first place since I don't think he will be one of the main guys for the team considering that they already have a lot of good players in the position he main plays. If he don't do anything to become the real deal for the club his playing time and role would diminish quickly and he won't be that top prospect that other teams will be targeting.

The eredivisie can indeed be a less competitive league, but with Ajax and Ziyech perfomances in the champions league, i can say he is a quality addition to the chelsea squad.

With Ziyech being a wide forward, Pedro Ageing, Willian Uncertain, Barkley average. it is the right step by chelsea and Lampard

Ziyech was brilliant in Ajax’s run to the semi final of the CL last season. He’s been good this season too, without a doubt he’ll improve Chelsea.

There would have nothing to worry about if it was Pedro and Barkley but Willian is playing quite well. Now I think about it , Willian's contract is about to end this season and Barcelona are keen on getting him.

German newspapers are rumoring that Liverpool FC might focus on the 23 year-old center-forward Timo Werner, currently playing at RB Leipzig. What do you guys think? In my opinion Timo Werner would perfectly fit into Juergen Klopps system. He could really make a good addtion to Liverpools squad. His current market value is about €75m.

Timo Werner's desire to join Bayern has dropped massively after the latest statements of Salihamidžić and Hainer. Liverpool currently lead the race for the player who knows that his playstyle fits them perfectly and that he can achieve his dream of winning the CL [SportBild]

Holly shit, it seems the news are real, I found few more articles on same topic
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/14/sports/soccer/manchester-city-champions-league-ban.html
https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/man-city-banned-from-champions-league-for-two-years/mt2cdd0s9w1i1ol86vr4xhasu

This will have big repercussions on City if true and stays like this. Best players in the world (and arguably one of top coaches) will not be so keen to play for team out of Champions League. I expected a money fine but two years without CL is really gonna hurt them. Of course, City still has the right to appeal and I have a feeling they will manage to reduce the fine to maximum one year without CL.

Edit: Few more links, all sources write pretty much the same stuff and probably copy from each other but maybe some of you value these ones articles more.

@Trofo, @coinlocket$, thanks for the info. Crazy stuff for Manchester City. Imagine if this means the top players leaving the club? holy crap, Florentino and Zizou, get ready to buy De Bruyne!!

Well, Pep is 100% leaving at the end of the season, I mean, the board brought him to win the CL, and i don't see him doing it this season, so...Oh, and PSG, they're coming for you    

@tomahawk9 I’ll agree with your analysis about Ziyech as he’s a top class player, and I’m completely shocked as to how did Chelsea get him for such a bargain price.

I'll be interesting to see if he can adapt to the fast-paced style of the Premier League. Hopefully he does because he's exactly the type of player Chelsea needs, an offensive playmaker.

No idea, if someone already posted it so far, but this is just gold.. hahaha

Momblano said it 8 months ago, about the 2-year ban.

And if he is right this is only the beginning since he said: "City will be banned for 2 years for facts of 2014".

Now the fun part, if this is true they will be investigated for

2015
2016
2017
2018
2019
2020

Good Luck.

It has now been confirmed that Ziyech is a Chelsea player

According to the German newspaper Bild it's very unlikely that Pep Guardiola is retuning to FC Bayern München. Its very interesting, that he even wants to fulfill his Man City contract. I honestly did not expect that after the recent Champions League ban. What do you guys think? Do you think Juventus Turin is still an option?

Pep Guardiola's name has circulated in Munich as a potential new coach. However according to his entourage, Guardiola doesn't want to return to Munich and FC Bayern for him is a closed chapter. Guardiola wants to fulfill his Man City contract [Bild]

As a FC Bayern München fan, Manchester Citys recent Champions league ban should be "great news". The signing of Leroy Sané surely gets more likely now.

On the other hand, Manchester City's Champions League ban means Leroy Sané's move to Bayern is getting closer again [Bild]

I still don't think Pep's gonna leave after the season's done tho.  He'll see out his contract til 2021...  Again, out of respect for Ferran Soriano and Txiki Berigistain.

I don't like the fact that Guardiola is only a coach to top clubs.
He went from Barcelona to Bayern and then Manchester City.
I want to see him in another club, apart from Juventus which is the best club in Italy right now, such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Napoli or any other team that is not in a top performance right now.

Not going to happen, Guardiola style of play is only suited for top clubs. He doesn't know how to park the bus and wait for counter attack. He will always try to make his team play a sort of tika-taka football with high possession and shitload of passing. From the clubs you mentioned I could maybe see him at Napoli since it is a good club, with players who could maybe follow his ideas.

Juve will test Pep’s will to stay at City. We’ll see what happens, City can still appeal but if the ban stands then I think he will leave.
