⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Docnaster]

Erik Ten Hag has been able to transform the team mentally, physically and tactically. He has also been able to help improve some of the players who have been performing poorly, players like Darlot, Rashford and Fernandez have been playing alot better in the past 4 games so are commend Ten Hag's efforts. Ronaldo's situation I believe is just for the main time and in a short time everything will fall in place and he will get back his position in the starting eleven.

Ronaldo is part of Ten Hag plans actually. But for some reason that makes Ronaldo want to leave Man United and he throws a tantrum to make his wish come true (he left the stadium when the match was not over in the pre season match), this makes Ten Hag choose to bench Ronaldo. After all Ten Hag is the boss and it's right that he should teach Ronaldo a lesson. If Ronaldo can do some introspection and showing good progress, I don't think there is any reason for Ten Hag not to choose Ronaldo as a starter.

I am happy for Manchester United and and I am happier for their coach Erik Ten  Hag. Within a short time, he is able to transform the club mentally and tacktically. The players which use to be laxy are now working their ass out there and they can charge football unlike before they stroll in in pitch. the winning spirit of Manchester United is restored in the players. That is a good work done by the coach, the club is able to face any other football club now.

 The problem of Ronaldo is a different, Eric is not punishing Ronaldo for any reason, in fact in the beginning of the season he gave Reynaldo some chances but the team failed to win. It is obvious that Ronaldo is not fitting int the coach strategy. The coach is playing high-pressing football and Ronaldo is aged to play that kind of football that is why he has to come in second half to complete the game, when the team must have gotten a win. Same with Casemiro and Maguire.

Chelsea don't have a sporting director, the main reason they don't have quality players in the team. Imagine signing a barren attacker, Pierre Aubameyang. The gabonese will find it difficult to score because in Chelsea, you are the one that will work for your goal unlike Barcelona, where he was been spoonfeed with assists and scoring goals in games. The players over there makes it easier for him to score while in Chelsea, their own pattern is entirely different. Chelsea working on to sign Christoph Freund as there new Sporting Director. He's one of the good director I've seen in football and he have pull out so many contracts and he's behind top deals like Keita, Mané, Upamecano and Haaland. Hoping for him to come to over to Chelsea and do the wonders for Todd Boehly.

Chelsea are just passing through a tough phase, but one thing I know is that, each club have their bad moments and victory period. Chelsea suffering due to the new era of ownership and really hard for the new people put incharge to deliver. Todd relieving some essential persons from the board, like Thomas, Marina and Peter all demotivate the team and performance. Pierre Aubameyang facing critical time in his new team as fans are still waiting for his first goal in the club. Graham Potter style of game is entirely different from Tuchel's own and players tends to adapt the strategy of the new boss.

It seems like there will be a bidding race for Borrusia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham in the 2023 summer transfer window. At least that's what the German sports magazine Sport1 reports: Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC and Manchester United are said to be interested in signing the Dortmund player and to want to invest up to €114m in a transfer. Such a sum would make Bellingham one of the top transfers in Bundesliga history.

The summer is still a little way off, but according to Transfermarkt, Liverpool is currently ahead by around 35%. Whether the transfer will really take place remains to be seen. Personally, though, I can already see Liverpool having the best chance of a transfer.

For the Bundesliga and of course Borussia Dortmund, Bellingham's leaving would of course be a tough loss. What do you guys think?

How can one speak of "unknown reasons" when on the surface there are several reasons why this transition was unprofitable for De Jong? Debts that Barcelona owe him + demotion in class (I'm a United fan, but now moving from Barcelona to United that doesn't even play in the Champions League is a demotion in class) + his girlfriend who prefers Spain.

De Jong is playing very well right now. I think the reason why he didn't leave Barca was because of his love. This could be an expression of his love for Barcelona. Also, if he goes to Manchester United  at this point, it will take him a long time to adapt and there are doubts whether he can play in the first XI. These are my personal opinions.

If De Jong moved to United he would have a guaranteed place in the starting line-up - he plays well + he is promising due to his age + no one will understand buying a player for a huge salary to sit on the bench. Maybe next year, if United get a place in the Champions League, negotiations on this transfer will resume. Barcelona have a big problem with the payroll and will try to cut it down.

Todd Boehly's promise to Graham Potter to bring in the sporting director seems to be coming true soon. Christoph Freund, who is the top candidate
to become Chelsea's sporting director, has reportedly given verbal approval. Whereas initially Freund repeatedly denied that his communication with
Chelsea was not related to the Sporting Director's offer. But eventually Christoph Freund admitted he was interested in becoming Chelsea's sporting director.
An official announcement will probably be made early next week at the latest.

Even though Freund still has a long contract at Salzburg, it turns out that Salzburg is willing to let Freund go to Chelsea. After all, the recruitment of
Christoph Freund was not one-sided, at least Graham Potter was also consulted and it turned out that Potter approved of Freund's recruitment as
sporting director. Because Graham Potter needs a sporting director to help with the transfer process. Moreover, as you said, Freund's experience was
quite successful in doing top deals for several star players, therefore Freund is expected to help Chelsea get good players.

I have no doubts about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's ability. After being out of the field for a long time, he came to Barcelona and played brilliantly. Barcelona has had decent enough performances from Aubameyang in times of their trouble. Now if Chelsea doesn't get a good performance from Aubameyang then I'd say it's their failure. Their strategy is not good. Chelsea's performance will improve if the strategy is good. And if Aubameyang is able to fit in well with the team, Chelsea's performance will be even better.

Personally I think Liverpool is the best choice or place for Jude Bellingham instead of Real Madrid that had already filled his position, infact according to some news reports Liverpool had made some moves to sign him in January, the likes of Elliott, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Henderson and Tiago has not live up to expectations this season in the midfield thus there is a need to beef up that area with the signing of Jude Bellingham, recall how he played brilliantly in their match against Man City in the UCL, I was impressed with how he controlled and took charge of their midfield even as a 19 years old, he has a lot to offer with age in his side.

You are right Liverpool needs jude Bellingham than real madrid.  Real Madrid is already balanced and their performance is not poor. Since the season started Liverpool have not made any impression performance,  their quality in football is dieing off. If jude Bellingham should be signing in Liverpool their maybe change.

This is actually a good move for the Red's ( Liverpool ) they should have brought the young talent and exciting brilliance in but Borrussia Dortmund tagged him untouchable this season.
He once had a chance to join Manchester United, bit he rebuffed the idea by choosing he german side over Manchester United, since then he has blossom in all league games for Dortmund been so outstanding, supporting ex-teammate Erling Haaland and the club in the chase for the German bundesliga.

Real Madrid must have seen the potential in him, I think he'll be a perfect Luka Modric replacement. Every British player would want to come back home when a big club like Liverpool comes or either of the Manchester sides. So I think, he'll make the switch to Liverpool over Real Madrid. The disadvantage bout not joining Madrid is that, they come for a player once in a while and if he doesn't picks the call, they'll never come back hunting and chasing. Good example ( Kylian Mbappe )

I think it's not only Aubameyang who has to play optimally, all his teammates must work together to improve Chelsea's declining performance. it wasn't easy, especially now that they had to adapt to Potter's style of strategy.
Aubameyang was brought in from Barcelona with a facial injury, after the robbery incident that happened to him. so Aubameyang's debut wasn't in great shape, moreover he was required to wear a protective face mask. so it is very natural that Aubay did not contribute much at the time of his first debut.
Well, our concern is for Chelsea's next game. I would love to see their performances in the Premier League under the leadership of Graham Potter.

[minairia3]

The coach has to do what's right for the club in terms of fitness and appropriate selection. When he starts scoring then it'll all be on the winger's to sit tight, benching Ronaldo is way useless

Manager has to do the right thing for the team and ten Haag is doing that for the team. He is measuring players equally based on what kind of performance a player puts on the team. That requires guts which earlier managers didn't had. I don't think they will bench Ronaldo completely as they are out of attacking options and I think ten Haag plans is to use him as a striker in attacks at later stage maybe a bit with change in attacking strategy so I think somewhere there is a role for Ronaldo still. The thing is how Ronaldo is handling this situation as he obviously want to start and complete the game but manager always wants the best for the team and so at the moment he is not in starting picture right now.

Erik Ten Hag has been able to transform the team mentally, physically and tactically. He has also been able to help improve some of the players who have been performing poorly, players like Darlot, Rashford and Fernandez have been playing alot better in the past 4 games so are commend Ten Hag's efforts. Ronaldo's situation I believe is just for the main time and in a short time everything will fall in place and he will get back his position in the starting eleven.

They managed to win four out of six matches that they played. In terms of quality, I'm not willing to say that is stellar, but that is certainly a step in the right direction.

At this point, I don't think any Manchester United fan will complain about what Erik Ten Hag is doing for the team.
The fact that he is not giving enough importance to Cristiano Ronaldo is going to make a lot of people like me feel uneasy.
There is no way for me to tell if he is doing the right thing or if he is doing the wrong thing by doing this.

However, if he is able to get the results in favor of Manchester United then I believe that he is doing the right thing, and he should be commended for what he is doing. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's career is being severely damaged at this time.

Aubameyang played very well at Barcelona, but after being very active in the transfer market, there is no place for him in the team. La Liga is more suited for him, to a scoring game, or perhaps it was Arteta's strategy that didn't suit him. Now Aubameyang will go to Chelsea and who knows if he will be able to score goals again, this is a return to the Premier League.

The opportunity to score a goal is still very big for him, especially at this time because we know that even though he is not young anymore, I don't think this is a big problem for him, especially if he is given more opportunities.
He is one of the flexible players in my opinion because even though he is a targetman, it is not uncommon for us to find him picking up the ball.
Currently Chelsea will definitely make him a top priority so the opportunity to score a goal is clearly still there.

Lukaku departure made the target man position at chelsea automatically vacant and that's why Tuchel at that time really wanted Aubameyang to be able to fill the void even though no one expected Tuchel to be sacked after Aubameyang arrival, but even so, I think Aubameyang is now guaranteed to be able to filling the front position under Potter coaching, as a former arsenal player of course Aubameyang really understands the character of the English league game so he no longer needs to adapt and actually Arteta really like Aubameyang style of play who is diligent in search the ball and often helps the defense line when the opponent is attacking, however, during this time his indiscipline made Arteta have to throw him to Barcelona before Chelsea recruited him.

Despite the current crisis at FC Bayern Munich, coach Julian Nagelsmann is not up for debate. He continues to have the full confidence of board member Oliver Kahn and president Herbert Hainer. The German newspaper TZ is reporting on the topic:

I would have been pretty surprised if FC Bayern had rushed to sack a promising coach like Nagelsmann.

IMHO, Nagelsmann will get the situation under control and we can expect FC Bayern to start winning again. For now, the speculations about Nagelsmann's future should be over.

The news about the Bellingham transfer is quite interesting, and Chelsea also don't want to miss the opportunity to get Bellingham's signature in the transfer market next year

madrid always see potential young players to continue to maintain the balance of their playing pattern so that this time they will not succumb to liverpool and chelsea in the race for bellingham

madrid have a much more attractive offer than chelsea or liverpool and that will surely tempt Bellingham

I don't know, Jude Bellingham is probably one of the best young defensive midfielders in Europe at the moment and Real Madrid have lost Casemiro to Manchester United before the start of this season. Casemiro was a starting player for Real in almost every important game as far as i know, so they definitely have lost quality there. So Bellingham could be a 1 to 1 replacement for him, which would totally make sense in my opinion.
Of course at the moment it looks like that Liverpool is more in need of new players than Real because they had a very weak start into the season for their standards so far, but this can change very quickly.

It looks like the rumors about Bellingham's departure will last a long time as happened to Haaland especially in this case Bellingham's contract at Dortmund is still quite long because until 2025.
We know that Dortmund will continue to try to keep their players at Singal Iduna Park because apart from increasing the selling price, they also really need him for now so even when the big clause is passed I think Dortmund will still try to hold back. the same as with Haaland a few seasons ago.

Speaking of disciplinary issues actually for now he has slowly changed the way he is I think especially when he was at Barcelona so now I think he has changed in terms of discipline.
Currently he is still very useful depending on how Potter's scheme is now whether he can maximize the abilities of his players or indeed get worse than Tuchel.

Chelsea suffering due to the new era of ownership and really hard for the new people put incharge to deliver. Todd relieving some essential persons from the board, like Thomas, Marina and Peter all demotivate the team and performance. Pierre Aubameyang facing critical time in his new team as fans are still waiting for his first goal in the club. Graham Potter style of game is entirely different from Tuchel's own and players tends to adapt the strategy of the new boss.

It's amazing to me that Barcelona let him go, as if to give the player a boost, to refresh him and give him a chance to start shining on the field again, but at another club. Yes, Barcelona has new players, but is that a reason to let a player go like that? I thought it made more sense to keep him at the club for a season and give him a chance to play, especially since he played well at Barcelona.

I think that their current situation has nothing to do with Nagelsmann. He is managing the team in the way it must be.

The main problem of the team is not getting any striker after selling Lewandowski. Bayern Munich have been accustomed to playing with a forward who can do everything in the attacking line for years. After selling him they are like they don't know what they are doing. Nagelsmann tried Sane - Mane duo as forwards against Augsburg but this formula also didn't work at all. They even lost there. This scoring problem can be solved by only signing a striker like Lewandowski. When we think of the alternatives, Harry Kane is the only way out for them. However Tottenham would be stubborn about not selling him. Kane might also want to stay as he is having really good days with Conte.

I also have no doubts about Aubameyang's abilities but the problem now is the current form of the team. When the team performs well it is most likely that the  players will also improve and when the team is declining it is also likely that some players will also perform poorly. If Chelsea as a team continue to play badly it is like that Aubameyang will also not play and perform as expected.
