⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Avirunes]

Rangnick is prolly one of the most important figure in German football, if not the most important.  Klopp is influenced by Rangnick and so is Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and a couple of other German managers.  Rangnick is also the originator of the ‘Gegenpress’..  Look it up and read about it then watch Liverpool matches and see it in action.

But yeah I get it.  He’s relatively unknown to people new to football.  But I’ll take Carrick to take over too and take it a notch higher...  Make him permanent manager for the entertainment value. 

Wow , guess I am new to football then  . That's amazing to know how influential he has been in german football. Now I would say it would be huge for United and hopefully that will improve performance of Manchester United after he starts working. Still I am still confused why interim manager then? Or they doubt him making him as in for more strong role? Zidane said that he would be taking a break for now so are they targeting him afterwards?

He was very close to joining Milan last year. He has for sure the Ferguson manager style. Let's see he can survive at Ronaldo.

After all, he only has to outlive Ronaldo as coach for half a year After that, by all accounts, Rangnick will be a top consultant for the club for two years. I think that was the original intention of ManU. Since they need a coach now, they have also hired him as an interim coach. Rangnick is certainly not as well known internationally, but he is very well connected. After all, it was he who made the Red Bull clubs so successful worldwide in the background and developed them into a money machine.

After all of the major speculations relating to the signature of Pochetino, Zidane Laurent Blanc, Valvadre, and Ajax current coach after the sack of Ole Gunner,Ralhf Rangnick was appointed as the interim coach of Manchester United.
Will he be able to improve the boys ??

Le Parisien reports that PSG managed to persuade Zinedine Zidane to become the head of their club. According to the source, the French specialist is ready to sign a contract with the Parisians in the summer of 2022.

In Paris, they are not happy with the game of their team under Mauricio Pochettino, so they intend to get rid of the Argentinean. Besides, he is interesting for Manchester United.

Earlier, PSG received a refusal from Zidane, but the Frenchman accepted a second offer from the club, on better terms.

From the start Zidane loved PSG and coincidentally his wife wanted to stay at Frances and didn't give him permission to go to Manchester United. So it is not strange when in fact Zidane will sign a contract with PSG. And on the contrary, Pochettino, who is being proposed by Ole, enters Manchester United. What will happen after this is really done? nothing else is worthy enough and Manchester United's reputation is on the cutting edge of choosing the right coach.

Just speculation only Zidane close agreement with PSG because Pochettino has one year later contract with PSG and still not any issues about his position not safe on PSG. I think depen what happen with PSG on champion league can qualify to final stage and get champion league trophy for the first time or not? Maybe if Pochettino failed make PSG can't pass to final his position is not safe.

I'm certainly not sure if PSG will win the trophy, even though their club is already filled with reliable, quality players and other expensive players. In addition, Pochettino achievements are still in question, with a contract for the next 1 year that will only lead PSG to not find a smooth ending.

In the voting for Globe Soccer Player of 2021, the Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo currently leads. Apart from Ronaldo, Messi, Salah, Benzema, and Lewandowski are also on the list of nominees for the 2021 Global Soccer Awards. So, what is Lewandowski's position? When you look at Robert Lewandowski's position, you can see how fair that is. Does anyone care about the globe soccer awards? We are all looking forward to Monday's Ballon d'Or award presentation.

We recognize that Ronaldo and Messi are the best footballers in the world, but for this year I don't think Ronaldo and Messi deserve this award, because their performance so far at the club is far from perfect, maybe Messi has succeeded in bringing Argentina to the Copa America champions, but instead his performance at the club is still very far from expectations, I think lewandowski and benzema are more deserving to be able to win the award this year than ronaldo.
I don't know what basis is taken in determining whether or not someone deserves the award, but if it's just from the vote, it's clear that Ronaldo and Messi have quite a lot of fans compared to other players in the world.

Domination of best player in the world usually they success get UEFA Champion league trophy and I see Kante is the best choose than Ronaldo, Benzema and Lewandoski, I don't think the last name is become best player in this season because he failed make Bayern Munich keep dominance and get UEFA champion league trophy in this year beside he failed make his country qualify on World Cup 2022 Qatar. I think Kante is the best player in this year and very funny if Ronaldo or Messi keep dominance in this year.

In fact, if you look at last season, if the Ballon d'or was not postponed because of covid, I was very sure that I could win it because he was already very dominating at that time.
but even now I think he could still be a strong candidate for it.

On the other hand, actually when we talk about Ronaldo and Messi in these 2 seasons, I think Kante can be a strong candidate with Jorginho and Lewa.

Newcastle United have become the latest club to join the race to sign Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic, who is also a target for Barcelona.
According to Calciomercato, Christian Pulisic has become one of the most in-demand players in the transfer market, as clubs look to prise him away from Stamford Bridge in January. The Chelsea forward is believed to be unhappy with Thomas Tuchel for his lack of game-time and could be set for a move elsewhere.
Barcelona have been heavily linked with a move for Pulisic. However, it appears Newcastle United and Genoa have also joined the chase for the American international, as he looks to take the next step in his career.

the only clubs that can currently take Salah away from Liverpool are Real and PSG. Liverpool would never sell him to a PL team, he's not a type of transfer that Bayern is making, Juventus is a club Salah would not go to and Barcelona simply does not have the money to do that kind of deal even if Salah wanted to go there - which he wouldn't.

Real is making space for Mbappe and they cannot do 2 such transfers in 1 year, so it's between PSG and Liverpool. Liverpool wants to extend but Salah's new contract mustn't break the wage budget - and his demands are really high currently.

Last season there were talks about him leaving, however looking at how they are doing so much better this season and how he is playing like the best player in the world, I do not think that Liverpool would want to sell him no matter how much you pay them. I get that some team could come up with 200+ million and suddenly change this idea, because that is a lot of money but how do you really replace someone like Salah?

Even if you have a billion dollars, it just doesn't happen to be right there for taking, which is why I believe that they should not be selling him no matter how much a team like Madrid or PSG ends up offering, doesn't make sense to try to replace him and fail multiple times and then you are out of money.. just like how it happened to Barcelona with the Neymar situation, a lot of money but they couldn't find someone as good ever again.

According to Telegraph, Manchester City are preparing a new contract for their talented winger Raheem Sterling. He has been linked with Barcelona in the recent times as you might have heard. Therefore, Manchester City don't want to lose him that easy. And honestly, I don't think that Sterling would like to leave a solid team like City for joining Barcelona that are in a problematic condition. Sterling's current contract expires in nearly 2 years. It'd be better for City to extend his contract to secure him.

Are you guys aware yet that Manchester United have already found an Interim coach in Ralf Rangnick? So the Zidane or Blanc arguments will be off for now.

Yep, but Ralf Rangnick is just an Interim coach. This means Man United may sign another coach to hire for a long term. In my opinion, they hired Rangnick because they are no longer want to see Ole in Old Trafford. At least, there is someone replacing Ole position as a coach temporarily.

With Honesty, I don't think Zidane was ever interested in the Manchester United job and I doubt if he will ever got to United.

Why do you so doubt if Zidane can be a Man United coach?
I think it is not impossible, why not?
It depends on how the offer made by Man United management. If it is interesting, I think there is a chance of signing Zidane.

As we know in other media, there are several things that Zidane refused to do, so it wasn't in terms of an attractive offer but a rejection from himself and his family. If this is indeed the case then the management of Man United must be able to convince that the most important thing, for me, is the salary issue. will definitely adjust if there is a request from Zidane himself.

So for me Zidane still wants to rest even though it has been a long time while there is an offer that suits him, some even say in the media that Zidane is not very interested in the English league.

With Honesty, I don't think Zidane was ever interested in the Manchester United job and I doubt if he will ever got to United.

A few days ago, Zidane changed his mind and publicly expressed his interest in going to United, but I learned that the problem was not even the money, but his wife as she would have no interest in living in Manchester and prefers that the husband take a longer break before resuming his career.

I never go against my wife, I know these can bring big problems

Zidane's goal is to become coach of french national team after the next world cup in Qatar, that will match the departure of Didier Deschamps, currently french coach, also in 2022. It was also said Zidane enjoys living in Madrid and in the scenario he becomes coach of France, it's possible he continues living there without prejudice. On the other scenario, however, that he accepts the proposal from Manchester United he would need to move himself to England, what looks unlikely to happen accordingly to the news I have seen recently.

I think Carrick could also do that. Yep, they will be trying to look for a good coach at the end of season if things keep going bad, but I don't think It was going to be easy for them at the moment. Ralf Rangnick may actually not be a bad choice.

What if Ralf Rangnick makes United succeed this season. Do you think they will continue searching for a new coach?

The offer may be juicy but it also depends on the interest of the coach. There are so many factors at play... Language, culture etc
Zidane is a very tricky individual. Look how he coached Real Madrid, Won UCLs, left at his will, came back under the same club leadership, coached and left again at his will.

Of course, one should not discount such a factor as an offer that cannot be refused, but still it seems that this is not the case As already mentioned before, another reason for Zidane's refusal from the post of Manchester United head coach was a poor level of English language proficiency. Also, the opponent of moving to England is Zidane's wife, even more she does not like the fact of moving to Manchester itself. Coupled with Zidane's own plans for the post of head coach, it is difficult to imagine how much the bosses of Manchester United should offer in order for Zinedine to change his mind and become the head coach of the club.

It is rumoured that Arsenal are keeping eyes on Mancity star Raheem Sterling,who is no longer seeing matches at the Etihad Stadium.And Mikel Arteta is a huge fan of the England international.

But it is yet to be seen whether Sterling will agree to join the gunners,since they are not in European competition..If he joins,he will be a massive  signing for the gunners.

Yup, Rangnick was a highly influential figure. He even did a really good job with Leipzig not so long ago. Thing is - football changes fast - and Rangnick has been out of coaching for a while.
Don't get me wrong - United could have chosen much worse and Rangnick's experience will probably help to remedy the situation a bit. Still - United will be left with the same structural problems - but no manager could change that until the end of the season.

I wonder what happens after - Rangnick will be eyeing a role at the club, if they still keep Woodward, Rangnick will choke him one day

Fabrizio romano has also confirmed on one of the youtube channels about Arsenal interest in sterling at the moment, and reportedly arsenal has made a direct  approach to sterling, I think the current condition of sterling in manchester city is quite threatened with the arrival of grealish who has become guardiola's choice in the squad the main manchester city, and if sterling still stays in manchester city it will certainly make a setback for his football career later, reportedly besides arsenal, barcelona are also interested in signing sterling in january and now manchester city wants more than 50 million pounds for clubs who want to recruit sterling.

[el kaka22]

It looks clear to me that Rangnick is a very temporary solution to a permanent problem. They signed a 6 month agreement with a guy who didn't even worked as a manager for a while now, and they are going to get through the season with him until they find someone much better by the end of the season. I get that some people may like him, and dude studied in UK as well as far as I know, he was a manager for a long time as well so he has the experience for it, but became general manager and other positions after a while.

I assume they really want Zidane and Zidane said he will rest this season, so they found a temporary solution until they could speak with Zidane again, or see what happens with PSG and Pochettino deal. If they could at least be in champions league level at the league then they would probably have a great chance to get a good manager.

according to the spanish sports newspaper "marca", new coach Xavi is said to be interested in signing Arthur Cabral (23) from fc basel - loan in winter, buy in summer.

He's been linked down with Barcelona,but English players performance at Spanish la Liga has be poor, you'll hardly see a English player over there.
The move to Arsenal might be possible,I'm not too sure how true this is,bit this will make him playing for three top teams in the premier league.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal if this works through.
