⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DU18]

The Tottenham press service announced the appointment of Antonio Conte as the club's head coach.

The contract with the Italian specialist was signed until the summer of 2023 with an extension for one more season.

It looks like Manchester United fans must now be ready to cry  , previously Conte was constantly rumored to be the coach of Manchester United, but Tottenham who moved quickly finally managed to convince Conte to coach Tottenham this season, a few weeks ago it was reported that Conte chose to coach Manchester United if he returns to the Premier League, but it looks like the opportunity that Manchester United gave Solkajer made Conte change his mind and choose to manage Tottenham now.

According to "Gazzetta dello sport" Pogba has given the priority for his next club: Juventus.

Pogba to Juventus is definitely something we heard for at least a few years now. He was happy there I believe and he will want to be there for a long time as well. This doesn't mean that it will happen, I still feel like Real Madrid with Mbappe next season could be much much better for him. However if he goes to Juventus that would be better for him as well.

There is rarely any pressure there, at least not at the level of United and he could simply just focus on serie a and winning the title again next year and that's it.

In the last Manchester United match, the fans were not happy with Espirito santa and they showed their reactions, I understood that he would go in this match, the new coach Conte is a coach with a high technical capacity.

Tottenham have real powerful guns I hope they can use them well in the next matches Conte.

I think they did the right move to bring Conte. If he accept this earlier this season things would have been much more different for Tottenham. Nuno Espirito Santo was a decent manager but Spurs needed something bigger. If they finish in top six this year that would be an achievement. Agreement is for 1.5 years, so we should expect better performance for next year after Conte make his target transfers. Right now he has to use the squad they already have.

Real Madrid has been a  long admirer of him and maybe even he himself knows that. And with Real's midfield trio getting older (Kroos, Modric, Casemiro) they will need reinforcements in the middle of the park and Pogba could be the perfect candidate in my opinion. Although a return to his home - Juve doesn't also seem like a bad option. Maybe better than staying in United as Ole seems like he is staying. And Ole hardly gives him the minutes and his preferred position. So yeah, a return to Juve is not so bad after all.

Paul Pogba has been a long time target for Real Madrid,and I do think if Pogba should make that move it won't be a good one for him because he has mastered the English pattern of football,and moving to Spain might make him fade,especially going to a club like Real madrid.

We've seen that most of the premier league good playersthat move to Spain are not too successful except for few,but someone like Eden Hazard had not done well ever since he made the move Bale have been flopping as well.So I don't see it as a good move for Pogba.

Spurs were performing below average recently under Former Wolves Coach, and as it is heard that Antone Conte is now highered   by Spurs to take over,and we all know the kind of man Antone Conte is,that he is a success himself.
He is a coach that most of the teams in England were actually looking out to seeing in their team.Arsenal is one of the team,

I think this Tottenham owners have been biased against Nuno from the beginning. Especially the Director of football. Why didn't he convince Daniel Levy to give Nuno this money to buy the players he wanted? Now he wants to give Conte £150m. Of course this will help Conte perform better than Nuno.  He set Nuno up to fail so he could get his preferred coach. The fans didn't see this. This is unethically wrong. Poor Nuno, he was doing very well in Wolves. Now, these guys have stained his excellent profile. Hopefully another EPL club will hire him and he will deal ruthlessly with Tottenham when they meet again.

You kinda always plan like that. If you do have a budget, you give a bit less money to a coach you aren't really certain about. I don't really feel that Rodgers could have influenced the Liverpool's board the same way Klopp did when going for Van Dijk and Alisson, the same thing is now happening there. Nuno was unproven and was given a chance to earn that 150 mil budget, whereas Conte is a proven winner with trophies behind him and the Spurs board will have more confidence in the players he will choose.

According to Todofihayes, the management of the Catalan “Barcelona” intends to buy the attacking “Real Sociedad” Alexander Isak. According to the source, the deal will take place during the winter transfer window.

The current contract with the Swedish "royal" is calculated until 2026, and the footballer is estimated at 40 million euros.

Barcelona really need a striker who is really able to help them get out of adversity, but seeing Barcelona's current financial condition is quite deteriorating, I have a little doubt that they will want to spend that much money to bring Alexander Isak from sociedad in January.

The truth is, I do not know which will be the best option at the moment to buy Alexander Isak, although he is an excellent player I think it is a strategy to have him up his sleeve due to the possible departure of Kun Aguero who is in very poor health, however What I think the most is that the financial situation of Barcelona is not very good for the team in general, although we take into account that they left Messi because they could not cover the salary despite the fact that Messi cut his salary himself by half, They could not achieve results with one of the best in the world, for me, it is not the time to buy but to trust those players who have trained from the quarry.

[Vdecso]

Some sources claim that Harry Kane will decide not to leave the team after Konte's joining the team as the new manager. But it doesn't seem very realistic for me. We don't even know whether Konte will be successful here. Let's say he became successful, then Kane still would like to win the league title this season to give up on his intention to leave the team. So I think that Manchester City will still be able to sign him.

Yes, I agree with you. Conte and Nuno don't have the same profile. Conte is way higher profile than Nuno and thus he can more influence the board to give him more money. And also the board will be interested to do as Conte wants because they know that if they do so, Conte will have a higher chance of bringing success to them. So, I think that this is fairly normal.

Yes agree with you, but now barcelona is starting to experience a forward crisis after Aguero is confirmed to have to recovery due to his heart problem and reportedly he will be out for 3 months, so inevitably barcelona must be able to get a player who can replace aguero and I think Depay and Fati certainly can't be used as mainstays at this time, maybe now Barcelona need to orbit one of the players who plays as a striker in Barcelona B to the main team to be able to become a back up for the other two Barcelona strikers.

What about Luuk De Jong, I know he hasn't made that of a spectacular debut for Barcelona ever since he came and has been missing some easy shots but he is a good striker in my opinion. He had scored quite some good number of goals for Sevilla when he was there. They can use them for now as a temporary patch and hope he performs as it is a good chance as Barcelona are having problems with not much fit strikers.

Let's see how upcoming manager(most likely Xavi) selects his squad.

PSG joined the chat!
Pogba was linked indeed to Juve but if I am not wrong even PSG is trying to sign him and convince him to join the parisian club once his contract expires with ManU. If we talk about money then PSG is more interesting, yet Serie A is a lot better to play in

Barcelona are reportedly very serious about repatriating their legend Xavi to replace Koeman. Rumors are, Barcelona director is going to Qatar to negotiate a move for Xavi from Al Sadd. If these negotiations go well, Barcelona could just announce Xavi as their new coach very soon. Barcelona fans will be very happy if this happens, it's just that Xavi will have a tough task, because he has to coach a team that is currently in a bad condition, Currently on 9th position in La Liga standings, of course it's hard for him to give a good performance this season, because he need more new players while barcelona currently on financial crisis.

^ The first time Bale moved to Real from EPL, he was a totally worth it signing. This second time he's not doing so great because he has aged and injuries have somewhat finished his career. So I would say that EPL players do badly in Spain, especially Madrid. Another example is Xabi Alonso. He came from Liverpool and was an integral part of Real. Another example is Cesc Fabregas, who came from Arsenal and was a star in Barcelona. So I think that Pogba coming to Madrid is still a very good option for both parties.

When he was back in Juvenuts his mother said "Paul will never go to PSG".

I think is a thing related to Marseille I can't remember why they said it back in the days, but we know money can easily change everything.

Qataris are not going to make concessions to "blue garnet"

According to AS, the leadership of Al-Sadda is not going to give up the amount of compensation for Xavi, which is one million euros.

Also, the Qataris demand that the deal is handled personally by the president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta. Recall that earlier the Spaniard was going to fly to Qatar, but later abandoned this idea.

According to a source I've heard, Tottenham's brand new manager Antonio Conte will be going after Milan's young and talented midfielder Franck Kessie. And he is thinking of making an offer for Inter defender Stefan de Vrij too. He is thinking of both transfers for January. Kessie will have only 6 months left on his contract. So, Tottenham can sign him without paying a transfer fee. de Vrij still has one more year left on his contract and his market value is €50m now. But I don't think that Tottenham will have problems on signing him anyway.

Being a new club that is rich, but currently newcastle is precisely having difficulty finding a new coach , after being rejected by Conte and zidane, now Unai Emery is also doing the same thing by saying  is not at all interested in coaching newcasle, with this rejection automatically newcastle has only a few the choice to get a good coach this season and of course there will be a lot of new speculation popping up about who will coach newcastle later.

Not quick to finally slip by Tottenham who are much more aware of the advantages that Conte has to build Tottenham players to be more aggressive in running the game. Leaving Manchester United feeling down and left far behind. IMO Tottenham realize Conte must immediately contract for the next few seasons for the sake of Tottenham survival.
