⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester United preparations I'm confident for the winter transfer market. it will open in January next year. It has been reported that Manchester United is one of the clubs that will be very aggressive in the transfer market next year.

Well, i don't think Manchester United will be big spenders in the 2023 January transfer market, it is very difficult (not impossible) to sign players of top quality in that time of the year, and not only that, Manchester United have spent a lot of money this summer already, i am not so sure if they will be open to spending big again, just few months after. The acquisition of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez cost the club a lot of money, so they will prolly be reluctant to spend big again.

Manchester United haven't been lucky with lifting trophies in the past season despite their gigantic spending in transfer window. The board and fans are much contended with the players they have signed this summer, I'm not saying that they wouldn't sign when the January transfer marking open, but opening bids amount will reduce as they wil only go for few players. Erik ten hag really did a good job by landing some of his priority players this season and he's doing well for the team. Manchester United have won their key games, like Liverpool and Arsenal.

Winning trophies and winning games isn't just about luck, even when you are lucky you still need a good performance to push that luck to yield good results, Manchester United have been very poor throughout last season we all witnessed the poor form until Erik Ten Hag came in and it looks like things are finally turning around for better so we shall see if they can maintain this form and push their luck this time.

[RILWAN]

you should not attribute winning to only luck alone because the players may have put effort and the coach also would have paid a lot of prices to see the team win.
If you see most of the clubs that are performing better this season have spent a lot of money on players and also trained a lot to see them play at the best to secure tgey winning.

I don't think Ronaldo will be staying after this season in Manchester United, it is time United start searching for a suitable replacement.

Ronaldo is not a problem to Manchester United,  they don't really depend on him, so if he likes he stays or leave Manchester United won't be affected.  Manchester United are doing well in performance presently not even because of Ronaldo's. Ronaldo has only score 1 goal for Manchester United in the Europa League and has not score any goal in the premier league this season. Manchester United has other good stars who are contributing alot for the club to come out best this season.

Ronaldo surely was not the problem at Manchester united and is not the problem, we shouldn’t point fingers at him as the cause of the overall failure of the club. The problem of the team was generally lack of team work, togetherness, good tactics and presence of average performing players who were not even ready to play. I can’t  forget that Ronaldo was the one that put Manchester United on sixth position last season helping them qualify to play European football this season.

Your right and I agree with you about this, Ronaldo has been accused several times of being the reason for Manchester United's setback but looking at his performance with the team last season Ronaldo was the highest goal scorer for United last season and he was also voted as the best player of United that same last season but I wonder why they keep blaming the star as the problem of the team. Apart from helping Manchester United to quality for Europa League this season, Ronaldo suggested that Manchester United's captain Harry Maguire should be benched because a lot of errors that led to goals were noticed as a result of his poor defending believe that is one of the reasons why he is hated in the club today .

Considering that Bellingham is expected to ask for a move in the winter transfer window, Dortmund have issued a statement regarding his availability - and he'll be allowed to leave for 150 million euros.

That would make him the most expensive Englishman - and 3rd highest transfer overall. Smart move from Borussia, they know they will lose him in the summer so they have put a premium on his price that some clubs might be willing to pay. Not Liverpool though - this is way out of our league.

Maybe Real Madrid or Manchester City might be eager to sign him for a huge price like this.

Real Madrid had bigger plans like bringing Mbappe and Haaland at the same time. Maybe they failed but it wasn't due to financial issues of course. I think this was a proof that they had very high amount of money in their budget. Bellingham has been under their radar for some time. Considering that they were quite silent in the last transfer window this might be their biggest planned move. When it comes to Manchester City they might want to increase the alternatives for central midfield position. But Bellingham would need to fight really hard for his place in the starting eleven.

It might be a little easier for him to do this at Real Madrid maybe.

Nagelsmann doesn’t need to worry too much yet. Bayern will probably still win the league despite their bad form. There’s only really Dortmund as a proper competitor & they have lots of young players who could choke as the season goes on. Bayern know how to win the big trophies, they have a lot of players with bog experience.

The Bundesliga is the worst league in Europe.
I think that in the last 20 years 90% of wins went to Bayern.

I still don't get why fast there are so much passionate to a league where you can't win.

Bundesliga create all the time many players that will shine / continue shining in the other leagues especially EPL.
There is also some randomness in games there. You never know how a match will end even if the opponent was a big team playing vs a weak one.
The problem with Bundesliga is the teams that fail to compete Bayern, not Bayern itself or any other thing.

Trusth be told Bayern Munich has dominated more than any other club in the German Bundesliga and that makes the league less competitive but I think the fault has always been from the other clubs in the league because they find it difficult to sign good and quality players that can compete with the players of Bayern Munich to fight for the league title rather they keep signing average players that cant for the trophy with them. So far this season I think the league is becoming more competitive with the recent form of Dortmund, Union Berlin and Freiburg I think Bayern is going to find it difficult to dominate again.

[makishart]

Well it's a fact, Bayern does need a new attacking partner, for me this has many variants, if Bayern had hired CR7 things would look different, because despite everything CR7 is an athlete, CR7 has no problem with help in the defense or cover any position besides that he can resume a game at any time, apart from that he would have been a good friend of Muller, they still have time to acquire him, Mane is very good, but if they can help with someone who is like CR7 I think that Bayern would assure there if a UCL, it would not be bad, but what the managers think is something else, and everyone has to stick to that.

Attacking partner? Bayern needs a pure CF. Yes, Ronaldo is one of the good options for CF position.

I don't even think about him to go to the bayern. So  far only udinese that was giving a chance for him to go out from MU or even EPL. It's impossible for him to go to the bayern. You must aware the fact that if bayern already rejected him. That proves that of ronaldo is not so good as people think. His performance has been analyzed by so many team whether he has a chance to be bought or not. Bayern said no for ronaldo.
This time there's a rumour about udinese has been giving an offer for him. That's pretty interesting if he will be going back to the serie a

Rumors of Ronaldo's move to Bayern have indeed been denied several times by Bayern's management, meaning that it is impossible for Ronaldo
to move to Bayern. After all, Bayern prefer to pursue Harry Kane as a center forward, but it will not be easy to get Kane, because Man City alone
last year failed to get Harry Kane. According to rumors Bayern will try to sign Kane next year, Then regarding the rumor that Udinese wanted
to bring in Ronaldo, it really surprised me. Maybe because Udinese have performed very well this season by successfully in 3rd position, and also
Udinese managed to beat Roma and Inter. So they are confident enough to try to bring Ronaldo to Udinese, but I'm not sure Ronaldo is interested
in moving to Udinese. Besides, I also doubt whether Udinese has the strong finances to be able to pay Ronaldo's very high salary.

The Bundesliga is the worst league in Europe.
I think that in the last 20 years 90% of wins went to Bayern.

I would say that the Bundesliga is the third strongest league in Europe (and therefore probably in the world) after the english premier league and the spanish primera division. Of course it was kind of boring in regards to who will win the Bundesliga title in the last 10 years because it was Bayern Munich all the time in those years but that definitely does not mean that it is the worst league in europe.
You can also not blame Bayern for their success. They don't have any debts, like Barcelona. They don't have a sheikh or oligarch investor like ManCity or PSG and still they are among the favorites for the Champions League title. Bayern is just doing an amazing job in regards to the management of the club.

Ronaldo might not be the whole problem for Manchester United but he was part of the problem. We must understand that he is an influential player and his actions and inactions can affect the club positively or negatively. Openly criticizing Harry Maguire led to the factionalization of the team, making some players to become loyal to a particular group leader.  And this really affected the team's performance. His insistence to leave the team with a one-year contract remaining to seek champions league football really distracted the club. The focus of the team shifted from how to maximize the transfer window to how to persuade him to stay.  

Rumors of Ronaldo's move to Bayern have indeed been denied several times by Bayern's management, meaning that it is impossible for Ronaldo
to move to Bayern.

There were speculations that Bayern Munich was targeting Ronaldo during the transfer saga period. Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic also confirmed that the club spoke to Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes. But the discussion never progressed to a concrete decision to sign the player. Currently. I don't think Bayern is still interested in signing the Portuguese captain.  

[Velvet78]

Manchester United don't need Ronaldo anymore actually. They have been on a really great run in the Premier League recently and Ronaldo hasn't been in the starting eleven for some time too. Rashford has done a really good job so far. Manchester United should find a productive striker to replace Ronaldo I think. They can surely find a good striker instead of paying a lot of money for Ronaldo. I know how important he is for the team considering their history but I think it is better for them to part ways at the end of the season.

Cristiano ronaldo seems to have been quite frustrated to see that the transfer window has closed and no team was able or interested in concluding the negotiations.
I believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will have no choice but to complete the remainder of his contract at Manchester United, and obviously this must be quite exhausting for the player and also for the team as a whole.
And it would be hilarious to see Cristiano Ronaldo accepting Udinese's invitation

[minairia3]

In my opinion, there are two factors that are working against Ronaldo right now.
One of them is his age as the guy’s 37 right now and his body can only do so much for himself at this top level of football. As a matter of fact, the Premier League is an extremely physical football league right now, so playing there at the age of 37 and expecting the best out of him is a no-go.
Another factor could be the fact that he would like to play in the Champions League but is unable to do so. As a result of the fact that he wanted to leave United because he wanted to play in the Champions League and now he is not getting the opportunity to play, his morale has dipped and is affecting his performance.

Regarding the first factor, the age problem which has reached 37 years is indeed old enough for a football player. but ronaldo's stamina is still above average because of his healthy lifestyle and good at keeping his body proportions. but it can't be denied anymore, the problem of age also results in a decrease in body condition that can't be avoided because Ronaldo is not a robot.

and the second factor about him continuing to want to play in the champions league is certainly the reason ronaldo rejects many clubs from outside the champions league. but some football clubs that play in the champions league do not dare to bid on ronaldo because the salary that ronaldo pegs is still very expensive. that is the main reason why he is still at Man United, even though Ronaldo doesn't want to be at the Red Devils club. ronaldo is in a dilemma about his future and where to play.

You are correct. I think that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the fittest players in the world of soccer. Despite being 37, he is still in better shape than many of the younger players today. At Cristiano's age, it is rare to see so many players perform at this level with such consistency. And I also agree with the fact that his high salary has become a big problem. This is because if I think about it from the POV of a club, I would rather buy a younger player than pay a 37 year old Cristiano Ronaldo.

...

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best player we have in our present football age and he have gigantic trophies to his name and gallery. He is big name and playing in the Europa league this summer doesn't gurantee him a single title because that's no match for the G.O.A.T. Cristiano Ronaldo is still active on the pitch and can deliver his team Manchester United. There's no time in his side as he would reduce his actions not to get injured, I think his time is near for retirement and this is probably his last world cup he will feature for his country Portugal.

I'm pretty sure it's in his last world cup to play against Portugal.  He is 37 years old and will be 41 in 4 years.  He will probably never see the world cup again.  He will show all his strength with Portugal to become the champion, but his opponents are very strong.  On the other hand, I am confident that Manchester United can rise to an important position in the European league.  They can see semi-finals or finals and Ronaldo can be an influential name here.

I think that Cristiano Ronaldo still has about 2 years of peak form for football. So, I think you are right that this might be his last World Cup playing for his nation, Portugal. He will not be able to play the way he does now when he is 41 years old. I just hope Manchester United can support him in getting a better position in the Europa League. I have to say that Portugal will face fierce competition in this World Cup as there are many talented teams this time around, including France, Germany, Belgium and so on.

This shows that Ronaldo has no self-respect because of his unresolved problems. This should be a very important lesson for Ronaldo to change his character. Rumors have it that Manchester United in the upcoming market are also eyeing a player named Gonçalo Ramos, if that's true then it's a very good choice and very appropriate because they can get a striker who is still young.

I doubt that Man Utd don't need Ronaldo anymore, as far as this season is concerned, there will weeks after weeks where he'd be required to lead the squad attacking line, and that could even be as early as after the international break during the Manchester Derby, Rashford, in whom Erik Ten Haag seemed to have trusted to fill that position has reportedly taken a knock which could keep him on the sidelines on that day, while Anthony still remains unavailable too, so Ronaldo could be the best option for them going forward. I understand the fact that he's pretty much on a high wage deal, but Ronaldo have remained professional enough in the game his being on the bench, cheer the team up and not giving unnecessary negative gestures.

[Marvell1]

In my opinion, Real Madrid is the perfect place for Jude Bellingham. We can already see that Real Madrid are trying to rebuild their midfield as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have become older and Casimiro has left the club. Over the last few transfer windows, they have already bought a number of young players, for example, Edoardo Camavinga and Tchouameni, and they already have Fede Valverde, so Bellingham will be an excellent fit for them as well.

However, since Real Madrid already has Tchouameni, Camavinga, and Valverde, Jude Bellingham's chance to be the main player won't be so high. He must compete with those quality midfielders to be the main player of Real Madrid. It can be different if he moves to another team that has fewer quality midfielders. So, it can be good if Bellingham is looking for a competitive team. But it seems not a really good place if he wants to play regularly as a main player.

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.

@nurilham In my opinion, Real Madrid is one of the teams that rotate their players in such a way that they are able to keep everyone happy with the team. When you look at their defense right now, you will see that they have so many players. They have been rotating Rudiger, Alaba, and Militao well enough in order to make sure that everyone gets enough playing time so that they are all happy.

Therefore, I believe that if he joins Real Madrid, it won't be a problem for him to get playing time. Based on my opinion, I believe that Real will be able to rotate Fede, Camavinga, Tchouameni, and Bellingham effectively enough.

His performance might bcome main consideration from manchester united about him. If he was not showing bad performance and MU may still use him. There are so many rumous about the new players that already aimed by manchester united. The only problem is this team has been spending so much money without getting good result. Is there something wrong with the club? this gonna be a problem for sure even if you spent billions of money but you still get nothing as a return.
yeah this is showing how strong manchester united to buy the more players for its club.

This is a very important issue for Ronaldo because if you look at his performance, of course he has changed a lot because his playing age is not the same as when he was young, it should be as he grows older he should be able to work as a team well and create a good relationship with his team so that on the field he doesn't have to waste a lot of energy because his friends will definitely help him if Ronaldo doesn't have a bad attitude.

[Ayers]

Yes, I very much agree with this, what I have also seen that many teams have closed the doors to CR7, I think this is something that does not add up very well, I know that the players partly affect the whole team and CR7 without doubt always gives a lot to talk about, from what I see he will stay in Manchester next to Casemiro, at least I see that he has a friend there that when they were at Real Madrid, but Manchester is already a team of a very high level and it is necessary for them to be able to get out of that crisis, if the team in general is in a bad way from the directors they will not give good results, I think that the best thing here is that they change the coach, because as I see things they will not obtain good results.

Manchester United is not handling anything well, and the authorities of Manchester united are a joke, they got Ronaldo on the team but they didn't do anything to help him
whatever they did, didn’t work out for them and Ronaldo always found himself alone in whatever he did, last season Ronaldo actually carried the team alone
but still, all the blame went to Ronaldo, and now the authorities are not even considering him as a starting 11 player
and this starting 11 situation is the same with Casimiro as well, i feel like they might actually end up destroying his career as well

It's a shame, because he is a player who has always been forged under his own efforts, if he were I would leave, I wouldn't care if I went to the UCL or not, what I would concentrate on is trying to win the cup no matter what. of the world of Qatar, because only that is what he needs, he would even have that honor and take it away from Messi, I am sure that if something like this were to happen, he can afford to say to the media that those teams that rejected them, they can realize that they rejected a world champion and I think that if he would hit all those clubs in the Ego and with that alone he would bury all the clubs and all the technical directors that rejected him, in part I would like that that could come true.

already i've said you before,

once again, the biggest problem for him was that if he had not stayed at Manchester United he would surely have had to move to a team that is not playing in the Champions League and that was going to be a big downgrade

that is the only reason he stayed at Manchester United otherwise he would have surely left Manchester United

having said that, at the moment it feels better to play in a team that won't play in the Champions League than to stay at Manchester United since Manchester United wouldn't get any better results

and already this season, the English Premier League has been very unpredictable, i really do not believe that Manchester United will be able to get back up on the table, and i am also quite sure that a lot of people are looking to blame Cristiano Ronaldo for that as well
eventually, i believe Cristiano Ronaldo is not having a good end to his career because of Manchester United's authority and management

[hashrateproducts]

This is a very important issue for Ronaldo because if you look at his performance, of course he has changed a lot because his playing age is not the same as when he was young, it should be as he grows older he should be able to work as a team well and create a good relationship with his team so that on the field he doesn't have to waste a lot of energy because his friends will definitely help him if Ronaldo doesn't have a bad attitude.

Cristiano Ronaldo have always been known for his pride when playing on the pitch and he's aggressive too. when he was in real madrid, he feature in a game and was given a yellow card, then he push the referee and his match ban increase to like 7 games. So he attitude now, doesn't surprise me and I fully hope he gets settled when playing with his teammates in manchester united. As we all know, he's older and we don't expect him to be doing all the up runs and down runs for the team. He's a great player, no doubt about that and he can achieved titles to his gallery.
