⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Tumanggor]

Zidane has a very good record in his coaching career especially in his time at Real Madrid, a record of 3 straight Champions league wins is remarkable and if he decides he wants to coach again now a lot of big teams will come running after him. Speaking about Manchester city, this is a team a lot similar to Real madrid team and Zidane seems to know how to manage big clubs I have no doubt that he will also make history with this Current City team.

although zidane has not been a coach for a long time but I believe he is a brilliant strategist and very suitable to be a replacement for guardiola at man city in the future

but man city doesn't seem to be interested in zidane, I see the owner of man city really likes guardiola, he will not betray guardiola. it's better for zidane to try with a mid-table team first and prove himself again, maybe the owner of man city will glance at him

That moment when Mane moved to Bayern but didn't find completely his forms, when Lewandowski went to Barcelona, yet they failed in CL and in EL Classico, when Mbappe extended his contract with PSG and regretted it and ask to let him leave, it is exactly that moment when Benzema made a magnificent year, being injured and come out to score the first goal vs Barcelona and to be honoured by the Ballon d'Or!
Well merited trophy for the captain

The choices that have been made are not too worthy to be regretted and the players you mentioned now inevitably have to be in their choices without having to make unnecessary regrets
Currently Benzema is in a slightly different condition from last season but he is still quite comfortable in Madrid so there is still a chance to record a good performance again this season, especially the season is still quite long and he still has quite a lot of time.

They should have taken advantage of that. But right now the world economy is threatened with the problem of recession. Do they have good finances later this year? I hope the club is able to survive and can afford players. Especially Juventus they were so bad earlier this season. They can't perform constantly with their best game. After Dybala's departure, Vlahovic has not been able to court a striker who has performed consistently.

Maybe they will try to buy someone in the winter transfer window, but then you have to plan and negotiate now with the agent of the player they want to try to buy. I therefore have my doubts that they will be able to buy anyone before the summer.... I have my doubts they will have money problems, and it might not be that big a deal.

haven't heard which player Juventus really wants, it looks like they are still satisfied with the squad they have now. I still think that the best thing for Juve to do in the January transfer window is to look to other top coaches, there is no reason to keep Allegri, he will not be able to bring success to Juventus.

You may be right, but the squad will also have to be replaced if a new coach arrives, I think it cannot be avoided. Whenever a new coach joins a team he adjusts the squad to his needs, so that he can work comfortably. In rare cases all players in the starting line-up will stay in the game permanently, many will go to the bench

From the departure of several players such as CR7, Paulo Dybala, Matthijs de Ligt, it was the beginning of the fall of Juventus' heyday in the Serie A competition, and it has been 2 years that they have not received the trophy that they usually subscribe to every season, if you look at the game this year Juventus have really lost their confidence and coupled with the tactics used by the coach Massimiliano Allegri who always gave a formation that was so unclear, made Juventus' game a messy mess, plus games like Alex Sandro, Juan Cuadrado, like stalling for time who always passed backwards Juventus' defense, that's the cause of the problem Juventus' game declines in every important match..

When talking about the issue of Massimiliano Allegri's dismissal, Juventus founder Andrea Agnelli couldn't help but refrain from firing him because they would pay crucial money from a contract that had been determined from the beginning of Massimiliano Allegri's arrival, because from the start many did not agree if Massimiliano Allegri returned to coach Juventus , the person who first refused was the vice president of Juventus Pavel Nedvěd, who argued several times with Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, when Juventus lost in important matches or met lower clubs, and that was often caught on camera arguing...

I think they also have another problem regarding the dismissal of Allegri. Suppose they do dismiss him. But who do they bring in after that?

The high-profile causes are not going to be interested in managing Juventus right now, especially with the form that they are in. Not to mention the problem with money that they are going to face as well.

So, I don't think keeping the current manager is a very bad decision at this moment, to be honest. At least when we think about the later outcome. I think it will be better if they wait for some time and try to at least have all the players available. If the coach is not being able to bring the results even after that I think that might be an okay time to fire him.

The season is still young. We don't expect Lewandoski to adapt to Barcelona immediately neither do we expect Mane to perform wonders at Bayern so sudden, Karim Benzema has just recovered so more is yet to be seen this season to be frank 4 goals in 6 matches is a good start i am not even moved by lewa's goal so far afterall he has featured more in the laliga compared to Karim Benzema and as for Mbappe he made his choice and i doubt he is regretting it.

I assume that Mbappe has put an end to the speculations about him to leave by making this statement on the link below.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/kylian-mbappe-responds-to-psg-exit-rumours-french-striker-still-linked-with-real-madrid-move/view/news/412353

He refuted all the rumours about him to leave PSG in January above all else. He stated that he was completely happy there. It looks like there is not even one time Mbappe asked PSG for his departure from the team in January so this has been all about rumours then. I also found the January claims not very realistic because I mean what must have happened that could affect him to decide to leave at the earliest opportunity? But I'm still not sure about the summer. Because it might depend on the success of the team. More importantly, it might depend on how much PSG take Mbappe's recommendations into consideration until then.

In my opinion, there are a number of factors at play in this situation. In an article I read, Mbappe was promised that PSG would sign another striker, that the striker would play left wing and that Neymar would be left out of the team. Since PSG have not bought a striker to replace him, he has been playing as a central striker, which he does not like since his preferred position is on the left wing. The other possibility is that as he has been given some administrative powers, he is having some problems with other players, a situation that seems quite normal as no player should be given administrative powers in the first place.

There is a more epic coach on the market - Zidane. It's Mr. "Get the Champions League as many times as I want". I think one way or another they will be able to persuade him to lead the City. In addition, Mourinho seems to be regaining the status of "special one" and if he spends this season with Roma again successfully, then they can invite him. I'm sure the sheiks won't wait forever and give Guardiola endless chances.

Zidane is definitely one of the winner managers in the world. Just look at this record of him with Real Madrid in the Champions League I mean   :

Zidane has a different method for its team and that's why he was need his team to fully trust him. His record in the champion league can be considered as a thing that never be achieved by another team before. I meant winning UCL three times in a row that proves him is the best coach for real madrid so far. It's kinda different with pep. It doesn't matter how the team was paying good or bad as long as the team can effectively making score to win and that's more than enough to win any match against another team.
Playing beautiful football means nothing if you can't create a goal. you will never be a winner forever.

I believe the rumor was ture , he was not happy at psg since a couple months after he signed a new deal and given that unusual power at the club , it's indeed become one of many factor why he feels unhappy .. uncomfortable etc , the other players must be fuming.

But now things a bit clearer that mbappe has been calm down , he could have still leaving psg though.

This is my guess and it is based on the subtle wording that Guardiola gives in interviews when asked about the future.
As for dominance in the Premier League, for us ordinary fans it looks like a cool achievement, but the sheikhs are ambitious guys. They created literally the most expensive club in the world but have not been able to get the main trophy for so many years. Do you really think that their patience is endless?
It seems to me that they do not care about statuses, reputation, etc. the most important thing is the result, at the moment it is not there and if it is not after the purchase of Haaland, then Guardiola will be fired.

Speculation about the future of Guardianola in Man City seems to arise because of Man City's draw with Copenhagen in the UCL and Man City's defeat against Liverpool. I personally see that this is a normal thing because so far Man City's achievements at UCL are still good. we have to give guardianola another chance to prove himself capable of giving the UCL trophy to man city. Guardiola will have a long future at man city.

i don't think we will see Guardiola leaving Man city without winning the champions league, he probably is staying there for that reason, and i'd guess and say that even if they don't win it this season, he won't leave, probably Man City managers won't let him go too.

Zidane is surely an amazing coach. He doesn't only have great achievements in UCL and La Liga, but he is a charismatic person and a good motivator as well. Also, he is a legend who becomes an inspiration for all modern football players nowadays. No one doubts his ability to make proper tactics, Zidane proved it when he and Real Madrid defeated many top teams in the world. He is a perfect coach for a big club like Man City. However, the problem is, Zidane is a typical coach who is very difficult to negotiate. He refused Man United and PSG offers, so it is possible that he may refuse Man City offer as well. But it deserves to try make an offer to him. 

About Mourinho, I don't think he is better than Pep Guardiola. I doubt if Man City owner (Sheikh Mansour) wants to hire him. He is a typical coach with an eccentric style, which doesn't fit with the characteristic of Man City squad.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Bruno has been fantastic this season, his performance is brilliant so far, I hear many teams have been scouting as well as making enquires about his availability but I don't think Newcastle will be open to selling him anytime soon, he still has some years left in his contract and the club will not be open to selling out in January. Newcastle will be willing to keep him more than this season.

No doubt, Bruno Guimaraes has been a key player for Newcastle since arriving  in January. Since his arrival, he’s been performing for this Newcastle side and he’s proven to be a top player. As a midfielder, even playing more defensively, he has scored about 7 goals in 23 Premier League games across the past two seasons and brought an excellent work rate to Newcastle. I am hoping for Newcastle to offer in a new contract as there are many big clubs interested in him.

Sometime a team can also lose against another team but if the team was always getting lose streak and this can be considered as the worst situation, so far manchester city has not yet been facing lose streak. I think he is still capable enough to handle manchester city.
As long as this team will not got more and more lose against another team and im sure that if guardiola will not be sacked at least not for now. I personally think that if guardiola needs to work even better than it.

Manchester city is one of the biggest teams in the world, with their defeat by Liverpool in fact the city's game is very good but maybe it's just unlucky in terms of scoring goals, in my opinion the city coach will not be sacked because in terms of changes from year to year it turns out that in terms of sharpness it is sharper this season, that's why it's impossible for a shift right now if it's just one defeat

The career of Gonzalo Higuain has come to an end. As a spectator, it was enjoyable to watch him play. A great deal of respect is due to you. It is impossible to deny that you were among the greatest strikers of your time. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, my favorite striker! I wish you a happy retirement, Gonzalo. However, the hatred he faced is unimaginable. In the WC2014 final he missed out on a chance, but after all this is a game and mistakes are bound to happen.

[tygeade]

I still think that the best thing for Juve to do in the January transfer window is to look to other top coaches, there is no reason to keep Allegri, he will not be able to bring success to Juventus.

I believe that dude is a great manager, and he has brought so much success to City so far, as long as they keep winning the title, he should be kept. Yes, I know that they want the UCL, but that doesn't change the fact that they are dominating the league, and that’s not an easy league to dominate, they make a good amount of money from it. They literally turned into the best club of the entire league thanks to him (and spending a lot of money).

If they win UCL along with it one year, that would be awesome, but if they can't, that’s still fine. I can see this team being the only team that ever wins 7 titles in a year, but it would be very difficult to do that.

We have to look realistically about a club and also a coach, it is very difficult or it can be said that it is impossible for any coach to always lead his team to victory. draw with Copenhagen in the UCL and defeat against Liverpool is the spice of Man City journey this season, so far Manchester City is still doing well. A draw from Copenhagen did not make Man City thrown out of the UCL, and a defeat to Liverpool did not make Man City out of the way of champions.
Guardiola can still be relied on to bring Manchester City to be even better, now they are trying to achieve a dream that has not yet come true. I think Guardiola will still be in charge of Manchester City for the next few years.

So, how long you will be waiting for city to win the champion league? Last year this club was loosing against chelsea. Chelsea has been getting champion league again. Just because it has haaland and it doesn't mean if it can win champion league. Pep has become a coach for city since a few years ago and so far it never won champion league. Will you wait for another decade again to see him goes to the final and then lose again? I personally think if he was not capable enough to become a coach for city and he must be replaced. yeah city was winning EPL but you must remember if champion league is the most important league.

I still don't get it, what's the main reason behind his retirement as it make no sense to me to retire at a time like this that Argentina is playing good football and has a shot at winning the world cup. Even though he didn't play but provided he was in the squad (still an Argentina player) that won the world cup would had been a big flex. Gonzalo Higuain did have an excellent career so I believe he isn't retiring with any regrets.

Him scoring 366 goal while having 127 assists in 785 senior appearances is definitely a decent career and lets not forget he won 14 trophies during this time. My best memories of him is his time at Chelsea, I wish that move would had worked out for him as he was a brilliant striker but unfortunately it ended so quick. I wish him the best asbhe move on to other aspects of life and wish him more success in life.

Bruno is a fantastic player making Newcastle good to watch again

Bruno Guimaraes is under contract until the summer of 2026, but Newcastle United is reportedly ready
to offer a new deal that would make him the highest-paid player in their history.
Newcastle United set to hold talks over record deal ‘in the coming days.

So do you mean that Pep Guardiola is incompetent, just because he didn't get the title in the champions league. you should realize, that the domestic league requires more effort than the champions league. imagine, they will play 38 matches in the domestic league.
then they have to divide their concentration on other competitions, a very busy schedule makes the performance not always good all the time. as for their defeat in the last champions league final, you need to know that in 2x45 minutes anything can happen. In the end luck plays an important role.

Pep Guardiola is a very extraordinary coach, not necessarily if Man City can become defending champions in the domestic league if he is not the coach. I think that with Haaland, Man City's chances of winning the champion's league are still greater than the other teams participating.
