⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TopT3ns]

Ronaldo is still the best footballer of all time despite the situation at Manchester United there is still no argument that he is the best. I know he's aged and his performance level has dropped but that should be normal right? Too many critics these days against Ronaldo for a player who loves the club but is only watching out for himself as he has just a few years left under his belt before retirement.

Actually, in this case I still see that it is not the performance that has been criticized lately and even that is not criticism in my opinion because it is still in the context of discussing the future that he will do.
We know that he is one of the players who is still above average now despite his age but this does not mean that he is a bad player with the quality he is now.

Ronaldo no longer has a future as a football player, but it is possible that he still has a future as a football coach, as has happened to some football players who have an old age they usually retire and choose to become coaches, but with a bad side Ronaldo at the end of his adventure in football made many big clubs think more about attracting him.

Manchester United also sealed deal's for Newcastle goal keeper to as to get David De Gea some competition.

I mean this is just dumb though. De Gea has made so many saves last season when the team were doing so bad with Maguire on the field and if it wasnt because of him, we would have ended at top of 10th place for sure. De Gea is pretty much the top choice when it comes to goalkeeper, he might not be as good as his prime but he is still a top notch goalkeeper especially when you have a sucker defender like Maguire ( glad that he is being replaced for the last two games )

Buying a new goal keeper is a good decision, I think De Gea is aged and is getting weaker, we can see it in his performance last season and this current season. A lot has changed, the De Gea I know before is far better than the De Gea now so in this best interest of the club it is time for a change and time to plan for the future. Bringing in a new goalkeeper will add better options in that position and will bring competition to De Gea probably make him improve.

100 million euros for Antony is the current megatransfer and the second biggest transfer history at Manchester United. Antony himself is a potential easy player who is able to give extraordinary play to the team he is defending. Antony is in the position of Winger who will break the deadlock of the attack on manchester united. in 82 matches Anoty managed to score 24 goals and produce 22 assists with Ajax. Antony himself is Erik Ten Hag's main target because Antony is no stranger to the Manchester United coach and this is a reunion for Antony and Ten Hag at Old Trafford.

De gea is a good goal keeper and he has being the savior of Manchester United since their seasons of poor performance. I have read somewhere that De Gea has some eye problems and that is why he makes some silly mistakes. He needs a good backup. My problem is not that Manchester United is going for a new keeper, but why did they send Henderson on a loan?

That's exactly right! We should welcome changes, that's what process is all about. In the same way, no big club expressed interest in him during this summer's transfer window. In some ways, it seems surreal to see Cristiano play in the second tier of European club football, but that's just life. It is impossible to remain at the top of the heap forever. Whether you are a player or a coach, best of luck to you!

I think you misjudged Ronaldo, he is an extraordinary player and he still has the physical and stamina that is still fit at his age. it's just that his desire to leave Old trafford made his performance unstable. in fact, until now the management of man united still maintains ronaldo until the end of his contract ends.
I'm sure, Erik has a plan and strategy for Ronaldo and the newcomers. Currently, Erik has brought in several new players who are predicted to help the Red Devils' performance get better.
So let's see, if erik can bring the red devil squad in a better direction or not.

Antony arrival to Manchester will automatically make Ten Hag have a mainstay to spearhead the front line and judging by Ten Hag deteriorating relationship with Ronaldo, of course Ronaldo will be removed by Ten Hag later, now the transfer market has entered its last day and there is no clarity on the future of Ronaldo certainly makes us quite curious, but I personally really want to see Ronaldo can collaborate with Antony later in Manchester, whether it happens or not of course only time will tell

[cygan]

here are a few transfer rumors on the last day of the trasfer period:

Andreas Cornelius (trabzonspor) is about to return to his hometown club fc copenhagen
leeds united interested in wolverhampton wanderers forward Hee-Chan Hwang
Cody Gakpo (psv eindhoven) is said to be of interest to various premiere league clubs (southampton, everton and leeds)
spanish international Fabian Ruiz moves from ssc napoli to french serial champion psg
bayer leverkusen is interested in german international and left back Robin Gosens - the player is still under contract with italian club inter milan

Antony's transfer to United has finally been completed today. 100 million. That is really a lot of money. I don't mean in society specifically, but especially when you consider what the top strikers in the world would cost right now. Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe.. Would Antony belong in that list do you think? Ronaldo and Antony together in the striker, I wonder if Ronaldo is still hungry for that, even though Antony is a winger. Is there actually anything known about Ronaldo? The deadline is getting closer and closer. He seems to be in a split. He wants to leave United, but no one else can pay his salary. United are still one of the richest clubs in the world.

There is very little left before the transfer closes, maybe there will be some surprises or maybe not, we'll see.
As for prices, you can roughly look at a case like Mbappe: he was originally bought for 180 million (annual lease + transfer upon its completion). Then he extended his contract with PSG, receiving a signing bonus of 150 million, a salary of 57 million (after taxes) and the opportunity to receive another 150 million in bonuses. Thus, from 2017 to 2025, PSG spent/will spend 480 million on Mbappe without even a salary. If you take into account the salary, then the amount will be close to a billion.

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.

Now, a coach brings in Antony from Ajax with a fantastic transfer, and for sure the Ronaldo position is so vulnerable,

Ronaldo is a center forward (CF), while Antony is a right-winger. So, how can Antony make Ronaldo's position vulnerable?
Martial and Rashford are the competitors for the CF position. But these players can play at some positions, so Ronaldo should be the first option if he can maintain good performance.

By the way, Man United now can have the formation of young attackers (Antony-Sancho-Rashford). Looks very convincing for Man United future.

Ronaldo was originally a winger but now he has transformed into a goal machine with a position as a center forward, so both Ronaldo and Antony can play together at the same time. Despite the complexity of the current situation between Ronaldo and Man United, I think the trio of Ronaldo, Sancho, and Antony seems to be the most promising composition. Sancho and Antony are wingers who have speed and they both have good dribbling and penetration movement, while Ronaldo can be a target man because he still has a sharp goal-scoring instinct.

@abhiseshakana I believe that Martial will be the main striker and not Ronaldo, and Sancho and Anthony will support him and at this stage I’m not even sure where Rashford fits in. Furthermore Ten Hag need quick player’s, and therefore I don’t think that Ronaldo can be in the starting lineup and even if he stays then he’ll only be used as a super sub or he’ll only make it to the starting lineup in case Martial is unavailable.

His agent was still trying various effort to attract chelsea to buy ronaldo. I saw that how hard his agent was trying. The problem is chelsea may also in hurry to bring back another striker from another club as well. The chance for ronaldo to join with chelsea is very small at this moment.
Im feeling doubt if that's gonna happen with ronaldo. How difficult ronaldo to get a new club. Sporting lisbon can also become the new club for him as long as he will be in free transfer which is impossible for now.
Ronaldo has no a lot of options for this. Many clubs have been rejecting him in a row.

This is perfect. This is exactly how it's been played inner my head this is how I picture then playing, then, in case of injuries they can Introduce whoever Marcus Rashford, Antonio Martial and Elanga possibly Garnacho.
Antony and Sancho are both good creative player's, one on the right and the other left, it'll be difficult for opposite side to get hold of the game, if both ways are not working then you see Bruno Fernandez and Erikson cooking long range shot's into goal. I've been waiting all long for this kind of team.

I'd really be grateful if they can also get a back up player for Diego Dalot and Tyrell Malacia, coz as for me, Luke Shaw not even sure enough to be a back up player.

But in the last few games that United have run, Ten Hag's focus is still on Rashford, not Martial or Ronaldo.
At the moment it seems Ten Hag is quite comfortable in its 4-2-3-1 scheme which in the last few matches has gone very well and can win the match.
But maybe next week's match will be different because Antony is already at Old Trafford, so the possibility of 4-3-3 will be an option.

Manchester united is not good in doing transfer business, they always buy players at over high price and let them go free when they are worth less. It is not only Manchester United that is in this bracket, every other clubs in England are victims of this. It was only Arsene Wenger of Arsenal that understood the business and it was going fine for him.

Manchester United are that way for two reasons, one is that the transfer market in football this days has gone abslolutely crazy, clubs now place an outrageous valuation on their players, in a bid to make sure they get the most out of them, and two because Manchester United are a deperate club, they have not won the league in a long while, they have changed managers a lot in the last couple of season, and now they are just 'ticking every box' in the hope that one works out for them, and when it doesn't, they are left with egg on their face and they sometimes have to sell the players for very less.

Having said that, you can't compare what Wenger was doing at Arsenal then, with what the situation of the market is now, if you take that approach, i'm afraid you'd not win any trophy, and would prolly struggle to even finish in the top four, this days you can't even get average players for a cheap amount, you have to spend money to stay at the top, that is the reality mate.

Here I will be blame only Ronaldo because few weeks back there were few chances and Manchester United was also ready to allow him for joining any other club for one season with option he has to join back them if they qualify for next seasons Champions League this all was settled, but sadly he was not cutting his salary which is also the biggest problem for many clubs like AS Roma and Napoli they refused to play salary which is currently Manchester United giving and same happened here in Atletico Madrid with they were ready to give Antoine Griezmann but again here salary was issue with them as they finances were not allowing them to pay this salary and Ronaldo not cutting salary which is surely a big blunder from him for moving to any other club for playing into Champions League into this season.

It seems like ten Haag is pretty much convinced with Shaw. I think he is the backup option on the left hand side. I also agree not a good option but seems like ten Haag is convinced he can work out with him. On the right hand side, there is Wan-Bissaka for which United are working out on selling him but haven't found any potential buyer. There are also rumours of Dear to United but for that to happen Bissaka needs to be sold out.

Despite being on the bench more often and also not getting many playing opportunities, United doesn't seem to be selling Bissaka. I don't know what made Ten Hag put him back in his ambitious plans this season. but Ten Hag should give more chances to players he rarely plays. If it's not in the plans I think United can sell him instead of thinking about the players' salaries.

Erik ten Hag feels confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window, although in recent days talks about a move have been discussed between Napoli and Ronaldo's former club Sporting CP.

It will be interesting to wait for the formation or game scheme that will be applied by Erik ten Hag after the arrival of Antony from Ajax, whether Ronaldo will still get playing minutes even as a substitute.

What is clear is that Erik ten Hag really needs quality players to be consistent in every game in order to compete with the top teams in the Premier League this season.

Last day on summer transfer window utilized by Fulham to get new player and they successfully get Brazilian player who has no clubs currently Willian and according to the news Willian will get short term contract with Fulham and about his career most people know Willian is former of Chelsea player and he has experience playing at Premier League although he is not young anymore but Fulham manager Marco Silva hopes Willian will help Fulham to survive in Premier League
