⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Google+]

Well, Chelsea has faced a lot of challenge since the beginning of last season, this has affected the club's performance and event team motivation, if I could remember the club owner have been sanctioned and the change of ownership have been the top challenging task for the club and how the club could get the footings is the major challenge for the management. So this also balls down to the transfer market new players that want to make an impression and showcase their talent, will not want to risk going to a club that is having management trouble since that could rob on them if the problem escalates in the future.

I think ownership changes are commonplace at various clubs in other leagues, so it's not a good reason if this prevents them from getting players in the transfer window. it's been two times chelsea have had to lose to compete with barcelona to get their target player, one of which is Raphinha and the second maybe kounde. Well in this case the target players for Chelsea are indeed more interested in joining Barcelona than Chelsea. but Chelsea have already got Raheem sterling and also Koulibaly in this summer window. Even now, chelsea is still quite active in looking for other players after failing to get raphinha and kounde. we will see if tuchel will turn his attention to ronaldo after ronaldo was rumored to be leaving manchester united.

I have the feeling that Chelsea still want to get some reinforcements. They only have 9 days left, but they could also deliberately wait and keep it under the radar for a while. If you are going to make an offer for a player now, the receiving club still has a lot of time (9 days) to negotiate and that can work against Chelsea. You can bet that Chelsea's scouts already have some lines for new signings. I suspect they will bring it in next week. Ten Hag has given up on the transfer to Frenkie de Jong and now wants to focus on a replacement for him.

Tuchel is angry of the fact that Chelsea board has refused to give out money to use in signing quality players,and in his speech,he made mention of Totthenham  as a team that will definitely be terrific next considering the numbers if quality players they've signed.
They have recruited Bissouma, Richarlison,and Perisic to boost their squad.While Chelsea have acquired Sterling,and Koulibaly but they are not enough to be able to get a champions league or Premier league trophy.

Tuchel should not be angry with the management. He should understand that chelsea management just changed hands and are battling things and trying to put things in order. They have also made good signing more than Manchester United. They can start with what they have at the moment. He has a good team, let not Arsenal defeat demoralise them. Atleast he still has a good squad. He lost Rudiger and gain Koulibaly, he lost Lukaku and got Sterling.

Chelsea still have work to do in the transfer market with just 9 days to go before the league resumes and up till now they are still lacking in some positions, I don't know if they can get something before the start of the league but alot needs to be done quickly because with state of the team it will be very difficult to get a point against the league's top teams.

With the way things are going right now at Chelsea,I think they won't have a great season, the league will resume in a week time and their manager is in doubt with the commitment of some of his players, he does not have a striker, they have sold Romelu Lukaku, Timo Weiner has been ask to look for a new club, players like Alonso and ceaser Azpilicueta wants to go to Barcelona, Ngolo Kante has just one year left in his contract.these are not good sign for a new season.

[skarais]

That might be true but they are still a Champions league team. That in itself is sufficient to be an attractive prospect for players to join in. They did get a few good signings in including Sterling, Koulibaly. The new owners seem friendly and just threw a party which they invited all the other EPL team's owners and top executive. All new owners come with new enthusiasm and try to make a big mark at the club. Should be the best time to join the club and make something of yourself. Especially for young talents.

Chelsea's massive overhaul this season should guarantee their success at the end of the season by winning a number of titles. They are like a very optimistic team about it where they seem to be very active in the market by spending a lot of money. Sterling, Koulibaly and now they are reportedly approaching De Jong is something that looks very aggressive.

I don't know if this is all Conte's desire as a coach, or maybe the desire of the new owner to make his team better than last season. I hope it's good, but I'm not sure about the title because Liverpool and Manchester City are still ahead in my opinion.

Tuchel may be frustrated to see the current performance of their squad. It is normal if he is angry, but to blame the Chelsea management isn't the right way. Chelsea has signed two good players, Koulibaly and Sterling. It is no bad effort done by Chelsea management. They also actually have negotiated with some top players, sadly Barcelona always hijacks their targetted players. Tuchel should be angry with Barcelona, not with Chelsea management.

I think this is a very turbulent time for Chelsea FC. The biggest challenge Chelsea is facing in getting players to join their side is the uncertainty of the club. Players are yet to understand how Todd Boehly wants to run the club, no player wants to come to a team that is unsettled. This is why Barcelona are crushing them in the transfer market

Agreed, it's so different with chelsea when it's still owned by abramovich. This time it's getting even harder for chelsea to get a player. So many top players have ignored to join in this club since todd boehly acquired chelsea. The current squad is not enough to compete with big team in the premier league. So many teams have bought new quality players to the club while chelsea was still struggling with its problem. I saw how frustated tuchel is.
So many internal problems appeared since chelsea acquired by todd. I doubt this club can even still stand at the top 4 positions in the premier league.

This season will be quite hard for them especially after the departure of some key players especially in the defence. In my opinion it will depend on how much Tuchel could improve the current players quality and how efficient his tactics will be vs strong opponents that already recruited top players and still continuing to build more powerful team.
City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs will not let Chelsea get easily a spot between them.

Except things change and Chelsea is able to attract and buy more player, they would have to endure a very difficult season. The current players would be overworked and any injury on any player would be a disaster because of scarce replacement. I think it is time for Chelsea to search for quality players from their academy because that was what Frank Lampard did and got a bunch of good players that are foundational members of the first team today. The departure of Roman Abramovich would keep hunting the club until the new management stabilizes.

There are also rumours of two main defensive players of chelsea targetted by another team. I meant this time so many people have no intention to join with chelsea. This is making this time even worst caused by less players interested in it. it will become a disaster for the club. I thought that todd's acquisition will make it even better but it seems like the club has become even worst. Im feeling doubt if chelsea can compete with so many big clubs for the next EPL. So many big clubs bought so many new ammunitions for the next season but not for chelsea due to the difficult situation.

Right, give you at least the source that they are in financial trouble.
Honestly, I would like to know what the underlying reason is that the OP concludes that Real Madrid are not doing well in their financial situation. Is it because Real Madrid lacks movement in the transfer market? Or something else. And if we compare with Barcelona, I don't think it needs any further explanation.

Yes, the truth is that it is something very difficult to believe that Real Madrid has financial problems, I think that the hiring they have not done now is because they owe a lot to Benzema, to Modric, they are representative players, they won the UCL and that weighs a lot for a club, I think they can't be so ungrateful. But it is not impossible that they cannot go through a bad time, I think they are not invincible in terms of money, but for now another of the teams that is characterized by having a lot of money is PSG.

I think Real Madrid can afford to bring in players. This will be really helpful for their attack and will also be able to give them stability for at least 4 to 5 more years. But I still think they don't need it right now because they have enough players. The only issue they had was in the defensive lineup, they have also fixed that as well. So right now they don’t have to spend too much money. Probably in the next transfer market, we will see Real Madrid making some changes to the squad if anything does turn out wrong. But I think with this squad, Real Madrid will be able to win the La Liga title easily because Barcelona is still not in good form.

Yes, I also think the same, for me Real Madrid will wait until the World Cup is over to see the possible new young players who are famous, that is the style of Real Madrid, although for now they have Benzema and Modric who are being very good players. good, in fact, for me they are the best at the moment despite the fact that there are other brilliant ones like Haaland and others who are really shining, that's why for me this World Cup promises and I'm sure that the best players who are and will be seen will be very fought by Real Madrid and PSG which is where they also have a lot of money, Barcelona still have some economic problems that prevent them from buying the best.

I have also seen something like this in some news, but I have not been able to decipher if the news is authentic or fake, there are many speculations about Chelsea, I have seen news that even say that they were interested in CR7, so it is difficult, there are also some publications on Facebook who talk about news like that, and some clubs especially like Chelsea are very jealous with their information, unless a player misses something there, but in the same way they are not authorized to give information about their club and Some don't have the slightest idea what they're going to do. I don't think the defenders will leave. Chelsea isn't that bad financially.

There are rumors about Christiano Ronaldo joining Atletico Madrid, but the Atletico fans don't want him, so they have started a petition on Twitter. I totally understand them. Ronaldo scored lots of goals against Atletico in the past. He's not the player he used to be, so he can't be a leader or a top scorer anymore. He will turn into a substitute player with a big salary and this isn't what Atletico Madrid needs right now.
The rumors of Ronaldo joining Chelsea are most likely false.

Juventus finally managed to officially get rid of Ramsey.

Worst purchase in recent history, but also unfortunate.

They had bought the very promising player during the winter transfer market, Aaron broke up shortly after and never recovered his form again.

I don't know why they bought Ramsey at the first place. He is well known for being a fragile player having lots of injuries and he misses lots of goal opportunities. His career is basically over.

Ronaldo was reportedly seen at Manchester United's headquarters in a training session after Manchester United's pre-season match. I think Ronaldo's big potential is to stay at Manchester United until his contract expires. Losses may be obtained by Manchester United if Ronaldo does not want to extend his contract with Manchester United, but the rumors circulating at this time are still unconfirmed. The new Manchester United coach has spoken that he still needs Ronaldo, and that would be the answer for Ronaldo who will stay at United, at least until his contract runs out and he can start retiring.

When viewed from the number of players released or bought, Chelsea are still very short of new players next season, so far they have only signed two new players Eddie Beach and
Raheem Sterling while almost 9 players have been released this season, then if you look at the squad for next season, they will still rely on old players, this will have an impact on competing in the top standings, if the transfer market closes, Chelsea will not get some new players, then surely they still rely heavily on old players

Dembele must be maintained in the Barcelona squad, because this player also has good quality.

Did you know that Dembele always missed games with Barcelona at the start of the season due to a prolonged injury? Dembele faced many obstacles, so when Barcelona had to focus on continuously improving performance, the solution was not to rely on this one player to enter the main squad. Barcelona must also have other alternatives. Xavi knows they won't give Dembele much hope if he continues to have knee reactions for some time.

It was precisely because of an injury that Dembele did not play optimally last season, but did you know that this player had good quality before?
that's why big clubs need some substitutes, if one of them gets injured then there are still substitutes to play, I think when Dembele can stay fit and not injured all season, this player will be able to play well, because he has quality and skill who is qualified, only the problem of injury must be considered, so that Dembele can play regularly throughout the match

I haven't heard much progress with the transfer of De Jong to Man United. In fact I read the news that they have an alternative to buying the Lazio midfielder. Milinkovic Savic, 27 years old. He is not bad, during his time with Lazio he made 11 goals in 37 games.
For the other, Liverpool got an offer from Juventus for Firmino. Juve bid at a price of 23 million Euros.

Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

I came across Gary Neville's comments on the De Jong's situation and I totally agree with that. How come the club that released a statement that they are going through financial crisis are still able to sign top players like Raphinha and Lewandowski and not be able to pay player wages that's not proper and needs to be addressed. In my opinion, De Jong should leave Barcelona because it's obvious they don't value him at all in the club and he should make a move elsewhere.

I fully respect these valuable comments from a great player about a club which is right now having deep financial issues but still buying very high price players and not giving player's wages and creating feud about this as well here now De Jong should leave Barcelona, and he can go against them in court because they are doing the worst things which can create more mess up in future if they fail to have required results in coming season on the field.

Manchester United were desperate to sign him but due to these wages issue now they are not having any serious statement about this all hopefully in future we will have some development which will be acceptable for player and Barcelona.

I don't know why they bought Ramsey at the first place. He is well known for being a fragile player having lots of injuries and he misses lots of goal opportunities. His career is basically over.

It prolly is, Aaron Ramsey has struggled for fitness for quite a long time now, to be honest i do not blame Juventus at all for terminating his contract with them, they bought him with a lot of hope and optimism, and made him one of their highest earners in the club, i think Ramsey was earning around £400k every week, thus when a club pays you that high, you are expected to deliver for them on the pitch, and that is something Ramsey did not manage to do at all; even when he was pushed out on loan to Rangers, he didn't perform too. I do not know what the next chapter is for Aaron, but i think he will prolly move to a smaller club, so that he can get enough playing time and see if he can revive his career. I would love to see him in the EPL again though, maybe the recent 'money-club' Newcastle can sign him.

Unarguably there has obviously been some uncertainties over Chelsea for months now concerning transfers and they haven’t been impressive in preseason. Now they have been able to bolster their squad with just Sterling and Koulibaly having lost some players already. And it does look like more will want to live either on loan or leaving entirely. Honestly they’re trying to bring in some names but they have found their efforts stymied by Barcelona. We can see that a lot of clubs are reinforcing and if Chelsea delays to do the same, the season ahead will be unfriendly to them.

[cryptofrka]

After missing out on Kounde, it seems like Chelsea's targeting Leicester's Fofana.
To be honest, I feel that Fofana is a great CB in the making and he's been below the radar so far. I think he'd be a great addition to any PL club.

In other news, Atletico's president Cerezo strongly denied all rumors regarding Ronaldo's transfer, basically saying 'no chance of happening'.

But at this time Chelsea are still hunting for some new players to replace the players who have been sold by Chelsea now. I just see that Chelsea seems to have made a small mistake by releasing a lot of players first while he himself hasn't got so many new players. But at this moment Chelsea still have time to get more new players before the transfer window closes.

Newcastle are just unable to attract players who are world stars now. They still need time to prove themselves to that kind of players about how much they are passionate to be successful. The only way that they can do this seems like that they need to bring players like Draxler who is better than average. Sven Botman, Matt Targett and Nick Pope are the only transfers so far. Therefore Draxler would be the best signing now directly. They still have a long time to sign more players so I hope them to stay active.

No offense but Newcastle was never really a big team, not even in EPL. The only way is if they could offer their target players huge amount of salary, since they have new rich owner. Though I still doubt they will easily get a star player with only offering huge salary but at least they can compete with the actual big team with that. Newcastle hasn't done anything significant in this transfermarket until now, I expect them to make some big announcement next month.

I agree about it of course. Newcastle had really nice times in the distant past when they had Alan Shearer. However they don't have championships in the Premier League now. On the other hand they are trying to rebuild the team to be able to reach the level of the biggest contenders of the league title. This is a really long road of course no matter how much money you have. Because for example they can't attract the attention of the best players in the world much now.
