⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Dortmund are interested in signing Chelsea's 20-year-old left winger Callum Hudson-Odoi. But it is said that Tuchel wants to keep him at the club. In the last season, he played in 37 matches in total. He got 5 goals and 5 assists. He is still very young and he still seems to be in Chelsea's plans. Chelsea maybe want to see him developing there and after that they might think of selling him for a really high price in the future.

It looks like Dortmund are really close to announcing Callum Hudson-Odoi deal soon. Chelsea are really close to accept the loan deal by Dortmund. When it comes to continuing to improve, Dortmund are one of the right clubs for him. So, I hope that he can continue to improve himself and go back to Chelsea much better in the next season.

In my opinion, Arteta's big mistake was selling Ozil to Fenerbache, although Ozil is not the type of player who is strong in defense but we can see if Ozil has an important role in Arsenal's midfield in providing pretty good passes and making it easier for the attackers to score goals.
I think lokonga is still not able to show his quality in the arsenal midfield and from the 3 matches that lokonga has played, I don't think he has a big contribution and loses the ball too often when confronted by players who have big bodies.

Ozil was horrible there, he barely played during his last few years at Arsenal. He was on a huge contract and they can consider themselves lucky they were able to get rid of him.
He is one of Arsenal's biggest mistakes in recent history, with Alexis closely following him. I have a feeling extending Aubameyang's contract might be on that list sooner rather than later.

If you think that ozil is a mistake for arsenal, you seem to be very wrong, not playing ozil in a few years is not because ozil is playing badly, but there is a bad relationship between ozil and arteta during this time and it ends with ozil being reserved all this time by arteta and the case almost the same as tevez and mancini problems at that time, so that tevez continued to be substituted by mancini when he coached manchester city, I think that arsenal now even suffers a loss because have sell the best assits  player

Ozil has never been a bad player from the start , whoever says ill about Mesut Ozil is totally wrong, he had a whole lot of ball loss at those moments, and the work of the defensive midfielder is to cover him up, but that wasn't handled, maybe he's already at the last days of he's career and we shouldn't have expected much from Ozil.
Now dey lack a whole lot of creativity during English premier league matches, the back line of the Arsenal defense needs improvement as well.

I think the main reason for this surprising transfer is the fact that the owners of Manchester United, after the fiasco with the Super League project, could not allow another big failure and cause renewed hostility and indignation from the fans, which would have happened if Ronaldo had gone to City.
In this way, they satisfied their fans, they bought more time at the club and the fiasco from the super league will be forgotten.
Ronaldo in this story is just a means to cover some other important problems of the club and personally he will not help the club much because his time has passed.

I don’t think Ronaldo’s time has passed, of course he’s not as fast as before, but he doesn’t have to play center forward and compete in speed with defenders. He can return to the role he already played in Manchester United as a midfielder, in addition, when playing set pieces, he will be dangerous as in his best years (due to experience).

It is not about Ronaldo not being good enough, he is great but if he is the most paid player in your team than there is a big problem because he definitely doesn't deserve to be the most paid player on your team, he should be maybe 3rd or 4th but that's about it.

It is not about the talent, it is about the age, and if you have a player who you rate 80/100 right now but 23 years old, and have Ronaldo who you rate 90/100 even right now but at this age, I rather pay the young kid a lot more money, even double, why? Because, I can use that player for 10-12 or even more years whereas Ronaldo will play at United for probably 3 seasons max, that's all I can see him doing, after that he either retires or he plays at a much lower level team or benched at United or goes to Qatar or something. There is no way a 40 year old Ronaldo would be a starting eleven guy at a serious club who wants to win.

Manchester United brought Ronaldo to the club due to pressure from the public and fans, and all other reasons are less important here.
They just couldn’t let Ronaldo go to Manchester City.
In the long run, such a decision will disrupt relationships between players in the team and this will have an impact on the club’s results.
A very bad decision and the future will show it.

have you missed the new contract extension with Xhaka? I can't see any justification for that.
Aubameyang is their best player in last years, I could understand that, to keep him a little longer.

Hahah, you might be right here. He almost got sold and then he signed a new deal - they really are a rollercoaster club.
Auba is on a huge contract, he's got only speed and that gets lost with age. I thing he will age horribly and will be another really expensive mistake.

If you think that ozil is a mistake for arsenal, you seem to be very wrong, not playing ozil in a few years is not because ozil is playing badly, but there is a bad relationship between ozil and arteta during this time and it ends with ozil being reserved all this time by arteta and the case almost the same as tevez and mancini problems at that time, so that tevez continued to be substituted by mancini when he coached manchester city, I think that arsenal now even suffers a loss because have sell the best assits  player

Ozil is one of the laziest players that ever stepped on the football pitch. Technically he was great to watch but modern football does not tolerate players like him. That's why he did not get minutes at Arsenal and why they could not get any fee for him so they gave him away to Fenerbahce. Good players demand high fees, horrible players you barely manage to get rid of. Ozil is the 2nd category.

Funny how you just blast Mesut Ozil like that. He is a top player, a pro when it comes to football. Dude has been magnificent and exceptional over the years both at the club and national scenes. After Real Madrid bought him from Werder Bremen, he came in and made his name. He provided so many assists for the Real Madrid forwards then in the likes of Christiano Ronaldo and huguain and Benzema. Even on the National level, he played his best for Jurgen Low and has always provided double figures when it comes to assist. unarguably, Ozil is a versatile midfielder. He can play on the flank or the deep attacking midfield role. His creative ability and attacking prowess is compared to known. Just you should know, Ozil is a kind of player you wont find this days.

It is said that Real Madrid have pulled out of negotiations to sign PSG striker Kylian Mbappe. The reason why is of course that PSG didn't accept even an offer worth €200m. They made a huge mistake I believe. Because they will have to let him go without a transfer fee in January or in the next summer. In fact, they would have made a lot of profit by selling him for €200m as they bought him from Monaco for €145m. They are also aware of this of course but I still think that it is a big mistake.

[tyz]

Still one and a half hours to go util the transfer period is closed. So far, there seems to be no big surprise left. Neither Erling Haaland nor Kilian Mbappe seem to leave their clubs yet. Maybe it was just a trial for both of them to prepare the actual transfer during the winter break.

On the last days of the transfer market, arsenal had terminated willian contract and it was reported that willian would continue his career in brazil with the Corinthians, arsenal deteriorating condition seemed to be the reason willian agreed to terminate his contract with arsenal even though he still had 2 years left on his contract, in addition to willian Arsenal will reportedly also sell 6 other players, namely Hector Bellerin, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sead Kolasinac, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Alex Runarsson.

It was a great move for Arsenal in the final days of the transfer window. Arsenal should be able to get some good players to improve their game after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. Arsenal should also consider terminating their current coach Arteta's contract and try to find another coach. But selling some players who do not contribute much is the right move for Arsenal so far. Curious where Hector Bellerin will anchor next after he was previously interested in Barcelona.

It is currently reported that Arsenal are approaching several players namely Takehiro Tomiyasu (Bologna centre-back) and Andrea Belotti (Torino striker) in the last seconds of the transfer market this season, it seems only Takehiro Tomiyasu is likely to be realized before transfer market closing  this season with a fee of 17.2 million pounds plus a bonus of 2.5 million pounds.
Arsenal are currently in talks with Real Betis to negotiate the sale of Bellerin.

We do need some good CB's to strengthen but wonder if a young CB like Takehiro Tomiyasu is enough. Haven't seen him play but hope that these buys Arsenal are doing gives them result. Arsenal have become one of the busiest PL club in this transfer window and still struggling with that will make them look like a joke.

Bellerin is a good player. Still recall when lot of us used to appreciate his efforts and pace but now all has gotten down as we so less of him in Arsenal matches.

Good luck for them signing new players in the last hours before the closure of the transfer market... They have a lot work to do to guarantee the survival of the team after all this season.. Otherwise, I still wonder if there will be a last minute transfer surprise!

edit: tomahawk9 was few minutes faster... but have also listed other deals

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal are desperately in need of a midfielder to partner Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in that midfield position.Lokonga was brought in to be a substitute to that position,but it seem the Germany international is really impressing Arsenal to push for a start.

Arsenal also needs an experienced defender, I don't know how they buy young players with 50 M even Varane only 42 M to MU. that's bad things strategy from Arteta. Lokonga is a good player when I see him same as Kante on Chelsea, he has a good tackle, but he must help defense too because they have a weak defense.

Arsenal should reorganize the whole team. Otherwise, good performance is not possible by them. They need not only an experienced defender but also an experienced striker. They have not scored a single goal in three Premier League matches, on the other hand, they conceding nine. If the whole team is not rearranged, their performance will not be good. Moreover, their management is not good. It seems that there is a lot of corruption inside the club, otherwise, they are not experienced. Arsenal's management needs to change.

It's too late to reorganize the whole Arsenal team it will absolutely be counterproductive, they just need gradual fortification of all the departments, if they did it once they might face relegation, I think both their midfield and defence are not really performing, those areas need urgent turn around, no dependable defensively midfielder to cover up their porous defenders, likewise Leno has been conceding cheap goals also needed to be replaced, above all Arteta had been very poor tactically both in player selection and changes.

[Woodie]

Tuchel also wants to sign France defender Jules Kounde before the window slams shut but Sevilla have rejected what they have described as an "unsatisfactory" offer.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have agreed an £17.2million deal to buy defender Takehiro Tomiyasu from Bologna. Hector Bellerin has completed a medical at Real Betis ahead of a loan move to La Liga. Ainsley Maitland-Niles is staying at Arsenal after holding clear-the-air talks with Mikel Arteta.

Today, Manchester United made it official that Daniel James has been signed by Leeds for around 25 million pounds. It is a five-year contract for the 23-year-old player. Daniel James played for 2 seasons at Manchester United. He got 3 goals and 6 assists in 33 games in the 19/20 season. And he didn't get too much chance in the last season but he didn't play very good when he got chances also. I guess that Manchester United didn't see a bright future for him and wanted to sell him as long as they got a nice offer.

[cryptofrka]

Come on man, that was 10 years ago! Ozil was great early on, yes, he's technically always been great but at some point he decided he will not play seriously anymore. I can't believe we're discussing Mesut Ozil as a top player, I really cannot.

It's like you say that PSG should sell Mbappe and buy Bale for 150 mil because he was great 5 years ago.

________________________

Back on subject, Saul to Chelsea seems complete. Loan with an option to buy, Atletico really wanted to get rid of him. Chelsea needed an extra man in midfield, I don't really like Saul but a good deal for them this late in the deadline.

[coinlocket$]

The transfer market session ended in Italy, a disappointing session but quite normal since there is no money here.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been officially sold and he can keep the number 7 since somehow Cavani can change to 21 even if Is not clear how to me.
