⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pulsar77]

Steven Gerrard is also speculated to become the new manager of England national team.

As you know he has recently been sacked by Aston Villa after getting bad results at the begining of the season. They were still underperforming and the board finally decided to sack Gerrard. As Southgate is likely to leave the national team after the World Cup there are many rumours going on for the position. Maybe his luck wasn't much good with Aston Villa but Gerrard might do better with the national team who knows. He knows the players very well. The problem is that he doesn't have any management experience with a big team before. He will work with the biggest English players there. It is hard to predict how good he can deal with the team for now.

FC Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić announced that the club won't be very active during the upcoming winter transfer window. He announced that the FC Bayern already bought players for the "whole season" last summer. There is currencly no need for other players.

Salihamidžić: "We've done a lot this summer, so I think we're very well prepared for the whole season. We will not be active in the transfer market in winter"

Concerning a new striker - especially Harry Kane, Salihamidžić said that he won't talk about other players who currently have a contract with a different club.

Too bad, I had hoped that Bayern would sign another striker in the winter.

It will not be very difficult for Real Madrid to get Bellingham if they wish to get him. It is not always a problem for Madrid to get any player they want before they have the money and again they cannot be seen as the biggest club in Europe which every player will like to play in for prestige and fame. Bellingham himself will be happy to play on the big stage of Madrid.

I am not so sure if Real Madrid really is the most desired club for Jude Bellingham. Yes Real has won the Champions League last year which was a really great achievement, but we also have to admit that they had a huge amount of luck to win that title. They were the weaker team in all 3 match-ups against Paris, Chelsea and also against Manchester City but they always managed to go through with very late goals.
So even though Real is probably the club with the biggest and most glorious history i don't think that it is the best club at the moment. I think ManCity, Liverpool and FC Bayern are stronger at the moment for example. Also Bellingham is english so i can imagine that he wants to play for an english club.

I assume that Bayern Munich won't really go for a striker then. However I think that they definitely need one for the Champions League especially.

Maybe it isn't much problem for the Bundesliga as they are doing wonderful recently there. They are still the number one contender for the league title and it looks like they will have the lead back soon. However the Champions League will get much more difficult for them in the later stages. If they have a reliable striker in the attacking line then they would be more assertive for the title in the Champions League as well. But maybe they might change their mind later on.

The England national team job will be a way big for Gerard.
If he is to take up the England national team coaching job he should at least be tested with another club even if it is not a top club.
Gerard need to prove that he is a good coach more than what he did at Rangers before he could be trusted with the prestigious England National team.
Bringing him from a failed Aston Villa project to the England national team will not go well.

Aston Villa have sacked Steven Gerrard and right now he doesn't have any team, actually less experience with trophy earn except at Scottish League with Ranger and I doubt if England try to give manager position for Gerrard. Likely the rumor about new England manager actually after World Cup ended and achievement got by Southgate, if success give well performance from England I think he will get extended contract several years later until next time tournament from Euro until next World Cup again.

Not any experience have by Steven Gerrard I doubt he will be new manager for England national team, actually he was totally failure with Aston Villa and he leave position just few match begin in this season, seems he doesn't have capacity to be new England manager for replacing Southgate.

[Docnaster]

Will Aston Villa give Aaron Danks a permanent coaching role?...

Aaron dunk first appearance as a caretaker coach of Aston Villa has immediately brought fortune for Aston Villa. In the first half of their match against Brentford, Aston Villa is already leading with three goals.
This is wonderful and unexpected of him, he was an assistant coach to Kompany in Aderlect, and an assistant coach of Gerard, could he have learnt much?

Will Aston Villa given the chance to be their head coach if he eventually wins this match with upto 4 to 5 goals?

Dortmund always creates its best players as happened to Erling Haaland who comes from Dortmund is also the best attacking player for now and next from Dortmund produces another good attacking player named Jude Bellingham and If Real Madrid want to have him then they have to move quickly so that when the transfer market opens at the beginning of the year he will not be bought by another club.

Dortmund was always getting the best players. The fact that if lewandoski, haaland was coming from dortmund. This club is very competence to get a new player with so many potential. I don't know what method being used by dortmund to be able to get the best player like that. So many big name was also coming from dortmund. Real madrid wanna get him as a replacement for benzema in the future. that's why he was in a competition with chelsea to get that young talented player.
Im feeling madrid will agree to pay lots of money for him to the dortmund.

Perhaps I am a little out of date on the news, but as far as I know Liverpool have been cited as favorites to sign Bellingham in their desperation to supply reinforcements to the midfield sector. Real Madrid are also targeting this player and would even be the most likely destination for the young Englishman. However, it seems to me that the one with the most real chances of signing him is Chelsea.
I read in “The Sun” that Chelsea put the player as a priority for the next transfer windows and even knowing the very high cost that will probably involve the negotiation, this doesn't seem to be a problem.
Borussia Dortmund set a value that exceeds 100 million euros to start negotiations for the midfielder, and I think Chelsea are in a position to supply that amount.

You're right Dortmund does admit that the players they sell to other clubs will have quite ideal roles. But not only that when Haaland showed his qualities as a Dortmund graduate, but it was also more than enough to consider other clubs who would definitely be eyeing the new seeds that Dortmund would sell. Then there is Ajax which is also famous as a club that has produced many shining players out there. Ajax dropouts are no less great. Ajax also has a special football school that has been established for a long time.

Chelsea might still be in search of another striker to transfer in January. However I don't think they are thinking of bringing back Lukaku at all indeed. They are speculated with Ronaldo for now but we will see.

Ronaldo is already very likely to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He isn't wanted by Erik ten Hag clearly and this is the best thing to do for Ronaldo as a result. Chelsea are actually after many strikers according to some reports but signing Ronaldo on a free transfer might seem more favourable for them. But his salary might still be quite big though.

If this transfer happens, both Chelsea and Ronaldo would have made a good choice. Actually, winter transfer window is not an efficient period for transfer. In this transfer period, I think it would be a great gain to transfer a football player like Ronaldo for free. It is almost impossible for Ronaldo to continue his career at Manchester United. Chelsea will also create an escape route for him from Manchester United. There is an agreement here that will make both sides happy. In fact, a successful manager like Jorge Mendes shouldn't have made Ronaldo unhappy. They could have fixed this problem earlier.

Selling players to other clubs is a business that is quite profitable for a club, apart from the income sector, of course there is pride for a club if you see their alumni can develop and become the mainstay of other clubs, but apart from that, the club will get a loss because it will be very difficult to compete with other teams after their star players leave, as well as fans who may be sad and even lose faith in the club because they are more concerned with business than trophies.

[terrorJR]

The problem is we know that apart from the many big clubs who are interested in this player, there is another thing, namely when dealing with Borussia Dortmund, it is clear that this will not be as simple as buying ordinary players because it reflects on several previous players and the latest is Haaland, it took City a few seasons to get it right. really being able to bring in this player so it won't be as easy as Madrid had hoped.

It will be the best deal ever for Dortmund
All they have ever cared about was grooming players to sell
How many have they sold in the last year's, Jude better takes the chance at a young age to play for madrid

As I said before, it won't be as easy as you think. Jude's contract at Dortmund is still quite long because until 2025 and Dortmund must have a lot of ways to hold this player before they are released at the same price as Haaland before.
There are even some news that say they are currently trying to renew the contract with Jude.
Although it is true that in the end he will definitely be sold but it is clear Dortmund will make the most of this.

Any player would be very honored to receive an offer from Real Madrid. Money is not the main factor for players to go to Real Madrid, but because it is easy to lift trophies makes it very difficult for players to refuse offers from Madrid.
As one of the big and most successful clubs in Europe, it is very easy for Real Madrid to get targeted players, not all players can be successful when they join Real Madrid because the competition in the main squad is very tight. One example experienced by Hazard, before moving to Real Madrid Hazard was an important player in the Chelsea squad, now he is only a bench warmer due to not being able to show his best performance like when he was still at Chelsea.

I would assume that they are doing fine with what they have right now and no need to overpay for someone during winter. If they tried to get a good striker during the winter transfer window, that would send a message saying they are not really doing well, and they NEED a striker, which means teams could overcharge for their strikers. Whereas if they wait, they could either find players that would be end of their contracts and get them for free, or they could at least get someone that is looking to move up to a better team.

This is how they are getting cheaper players, because all the players that they bought, got there cheaper than what they are worth this way.

At Madrid, players are full and Bellingham might find some playing but there is no guarantee. Regarding Hazard, he is not performing so yeah Bellingham will also get the same tratment if he doesn't performs. I don't think it's only Madrid, there are many clubs who also bench players when they don't perform. Take Nunez at Liverpool for example or Ronaldo at United. The question is where he will find good amount of playing minutes. With Bellingham, I think he has better amount of chances at Liverpool rather than at Madrid.

I don't think Hazard situation at Madrid was due to performance but rather fitness issue. Hazard had an injury problem during his first season there and in the second he while getting into the team he suffered a recuperation of same injury. Before he could get back Ancelotti became the manager and already had his team. So It was hard for hazard to get into team. But if you watch his games in Belgium you will see he still has that class


Sincerely players are privilege to play for Madrid so it's hard to turn them down. Man United should just hurriedly extend Diogo Dalot's contract because Real Madrid's interest in him can be tempting to him

[LittleBitFunny]

FC Bayern is interested in signing Konrad Laimer and currently has the best chances in the race for the Leipzig central midfielder. Julian Nagelsmann is a big fan of the 25-year-old and already wanted to sign him in the past.

At the moment, Bayern are leading the race to sign Konrad Laimer. Julian Nagelsmann wanted him in 2021 and in 2022 and he’s pushing for Laimer as a priority in 2023. English clubs have been in touch with his agent but it’s still early stages.

In addition to FC Bayern, several English clubs are also interested in signing Laimer. Especially FC Chelsea. Transfermarket is showing the following probabilities:

IMHO, I don't know exactly what to make of a transfer of Laimer. FC Bayern is already extremely strong in midfield and instead of a new midfielder I would be in favor of signing another striker. What do you guys think?

Konrad Laimer transfer news update:

Currently, Liverpool is also looking for ways to sign this player. They have also joined the race.


https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2022/10/21/liverpool-in-contact-with-konrad-laimer/

Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and now Liverpool. This 25 year old player is being pursued by several high-end clubs. But Bayern Munich is still leading the race.
So far, I don't know if the player has expressed an interest in moving to any club. I think it will eventually come down to which club pays the most for him.

Obviously this is very good but whether Dortmund drama will continue here because even though they are always looking for profit by selling their young players who have above average performances but when you look at some quite long transfers like what happened to Haaland it is clearly still difficult to see if Dortmund will just let him go.
Jude is one of their potential players and when they can't keep this player certainly making several offers to be bigger is definitely Dortmund's best option.

Hazard situation in Real Madrid had only taught me one lesson which is where ever you are a king and you are treated well and you have a good relationship with the people in that club, continue to play for that club because you wouldn't know how your next destination will be,  the people over there will be to you how friendly the weather over there will be to you and you're playing chances .

Hazard was a king in Chelsea and he was being worshipped by the fans, his pay was not small and he was having everything he wanted yet he left for a bigger challenge. It is unfortunate that he could not meet up the challenge.
