⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Franck Ribery retired from football at the age of 39. Together with Robben at Bayern Munich, they were like parts of a great machine; one on the right wing, the other on the left wing... As someone who watched his prime period, I was a little emotional about this statement.

After all, Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery announced on his official Twitter account that he ended his active football career at the age of 39.

The ball stops. The feelings inside me do not. ✨
Der Ball ruht. Die Gefühle in mir nicht. ✨
Le ballon s’arrette mais pas mes sentiments pour lui. ✨
Il pallone si ferma. Le emozioni dentro di me, no. ✨

Thanks to everyone for this great adventure. 🙏🏼

Robben and Ribery were a joy to watch in their prime. I can recall Bayern Munich was my favorite team playing PlayStation two and three. Both players used in the left and right attacking role gave pace and creativity in the attacking they were the the deadly piece in the Bayern Munich attack, they scored so many goals and contributed to goals also and helped the team win lots of trophies. I really miss this players and sometimes I wish they never had to grow old and retire.

Since then, Bayern have not slowed down and are the same machine for destroying their rivals. At least it was before this season, on the plus side. For example, that there will finally be a new champion in the league, because 10 years of dominance is not very interesting to watch, the league becomes very boring

The Real Madrid squad already has many talented and young midfielders but Real Madrid always looks at young players who are playing well of course the goal is for the long term and also to be able to replace several other senior midfielders in the future, but it's also true that it won't happen there was a big big transfer made by Real Madrid on the other hand Dortmund also didn't want to sell Jude Bellingham who was on fire, now even though many other top European teams are also hunting for this young player I think Dortmund can keep him.
Except Jude Bellingham's desire could be key to leaving unless he wants to stay focused on Dortmund.

Surely this is the best strategy by the Real Madrid as they are bringing young talented players and using their skills which are surely helping them for increasing their quality and giving best results for staying at the top in Spain and Champions League now their next target is already in rumors for few clubs but most chances he will be joined Real Madrid because without any doubt this is the best place for this young kid and his future where he can do his best and trophies are also falling here for good time.

Borussia Dortmund is doing this for many years, and they have never been interested in trophies, just having their own strategy which is helping them for having more funds through selling these quality youngsters to big clubs in Europe.

Ronaldo is really leaving in January as it seems.

Because the source says that Erik ten Hag is leaning towards letting Ronaldo go in January. He stated many times how good striker and how important he is for the team. But he is still insisting on not giving him much chance in the starting eleven.

The January transfer window will be the best time for Ronaldo to join a club that is playing in the champions League, which is something we all know he has been wanting. Erik ten Hag knows that Ronaldo is only still in Manchester United because the transfer he needed during the transfer window was unsuccessful. Ronaldo is still a very good striker but let's be fair, he hasn't quite yet fit into the ideology of Erik ten hag and there's no need forcing it. If Chelsea are planning a move for him, it is definitely not to keep him in the bench, Aubameyang and other players in front will have to fight to remain in the first eleven.

Unai Emery has just been appointed as head coach of Aston Villa, he takes over from Steven Gerrard who was sacked just a couple of days ago, it is an interesting move to say the least, i would have thought Unai Emery would be comfortable staying in Villarreal, but i think he loves the competition in England and that is why he has agreed to move to Villa.

The former Arsenal boss will have quite a lot of work on his hands, Villa aren't in a good position on the table right now, but i think with his experience as a manager, especially with the trophies he won in European tournaments, he might actually be the man to take Villa out of the precarious position they find themselves in.

[Minecache]

It's not clear he might leave in the winter transfer because there isn't any club that has made any offer and he is still contracted to united till the summer. Ten Hag on the other side hasn't made a public word about not having in his team.
Ronaldo wages is actually a big problem why he has not gotten offer. Second thing could be his attitude and how he left his last two clubs. Third thing might be his age, many big clubs prefer to build there team around younger players and Ronaldo's likes could hinder there progress

Ten Haag wants the player this season as he said that when asked in press conference but now the thing is if Ronaldo is gonna happy with ten Haag decisions. He knows ten Haag will again make them sit out if he finds Ronaldo not finding any impact and that is somewhat unacceptable to Ronaldo. I would say if things stay like this then very likely Ronaldo will move. Yes his wages is gonna be a problem but player can always adjust and I think right now to get a regular playing time it is possible that he will adjust. Lot of clubs will be monitoring this and will be interesting to see how things changes but right now it all depends on Ronaldo alone. I wouldn't blame ten Haag even a bit as he is doing the best for the club and setting the standards. It's same for everyone whether it be a world class player or a young player.

In my opinion, a cut in wages should not be the main problem for Cristiano Ronaldo. I think the main problem for him is going to be finding a good team. Not many teams are interested in him right now. And I think a big reason for that is the salary. If he can take a decent pay cut I think he will be able to find a good team. I think if he prioritizes salary right now he is not going to get a good team.

Erik ten Hag probably did what he needed to do. He wanted to bring in good results. And he was ready to go to any depth to do that. So, I don't think I can say that he made a mistake. And obviously, it was also not the mistake of Cristiano Ronaldo to taking the decision not to leave Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo hope that everything will be alright with Manchester United and him at the time but that time never came.

Because the source says that Erik ten Hag is leaning towards letting Ronaldo go in January. He stated many times how good striker and how important he is for the team. But he is still insisting on not giving him much chance in the starting eleven. I mean the Premier League matches of course. He is part of the starting eleven only in Europa League matches recently. This must have made him really frustrated as a result. Chelsea seem like the most serious team to sign him for now but it is a rumour for now as there isn't any official statement from their side.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/cristiano-ronaldo-erik-tenhag-manutd-28309720?_ga=2.265421836.264187833.1666560788-1995434566.1666560773

I was really happy when Cristiano Ronaldo came back to Manchester United, but this comeback did not turn into a successful story as Manchester United were not at his level. Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo understood this at the beginning of the season. So, he tried to leave Manchester United and go to another team, but he failed. It seems a little difficult for him to transfer to one of the competitive teams, but he wants it. Otherwise, he will come across many offers from which he can make a lot of money. I have absolutely no doubt about it...

Whatever happens, when evaluated in terms of transfer expectations, we can say that he experienced the worst and most unlucky period of his career. We are watching a season full of regrets for such a great career. I think we have a sad image in front of us from the point of view of everyone.

cristiano ronaldo is one of the living legends of football, who doesn't know him but I am also very concerned about him because he is going through the worst phase of his career. If you look closely, MU and Ten Hag seem to be punishing Cristiano Ronaldo, they seem to say that management is above the players. I would be very happy if I saw cristiano could move to chelsea as is being rumored, he would definitely be appreciated there and may can retire in peace there.

What are the odds of Klopp being sacked from Liverpool?
I know he is a goat but in Premier nobody is immune, too much money in the game.

Klopp is such an experienced coach, I think Liverpool still have a lot of faith in him to try and get the team back in order and bring them back to winning again. IMO it will be a huge loss to the club if they decide to sack Klopp at this stage because there are not many coaches of his caliber in the world, I suggest they give him a little more time to find solutions to the poor performances.

Klopp is a good manager. With basically the same team he has achieved a lot for Liverpool. But for some reason, his tactics are not working well this season. I also think that Liverpool is going to be patient with this coach because he has achieved a lot with Liverpool.

Arguments can be made that Sadio Mane not being on the team is a big difference. It is obviously not enough for a team to play as badly as they are doing. Liverpool only lost two matches in the last season. And in this season they have already lost 3 matches. Things really don't look good for Liverpool. I don't think Klopp's job is under any threat, yet. But things can obviously change going forward in the season

This is a very good agreement between both sides, emery gets a new challenge and higher pay; while Aston villa gets a good manager to oversee their team. Aston Villa could attain Europa league spot this season if emery is able to get the villa players up to mark tactically. Its another new top manager for the english premier league. Exciting weeks ahead.

Emery first and second game in charge is against Manchester United

[Smack That Ace]

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.

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.

Whatever team Bellingham ends up with, he is going to be a target for many teams in the next transfer window that's for sure. I think the best place for him would be to go to Real Madrid. Modrid and Kroos both are aging and Real Madrid have already started to sign their successors and Bellingham might be the last piece of the puzzle they need.

If Bellingham goes to Real Madrid, he might be rotated now and then but he might get guaranteed first-team action if he chooses any Premier League team like Liverpool and Chelsea.

reading the news about aston villa signing uni emery for a big price took me by surprise but i'm sure aston villa would be better off with uni emery than steven gerrard

In the last 12 matches played by Aston Villa, they have only won 3 times, Aston Villa's ambition to be able to raise Aston Villa's ranking in the standings is very large, with Uni Emery dealing with Aston Villa, they will definitely be successful

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Chelsea are interested in Denzel Dumfries also. He can play as not only a right midfielder but also a right-back. They must be thinking of him as a right-back. Azpilicueta might leave soon maybe and Reece James will stay injured for around one month.

Hopefully this isn't just one of those rumours and can actually be real this time around because we're lacking a proper right winger, I still don't understand why Thomas Tuchel didn't buy us a player for that wing with all the money he was given. Why depend on just one players when last season we saw how dangerous that was. We went into the market and got a Chilwell competitor but didn't get one for James. Seems he forgets how easily James can get injuries.  For the January transfer window, one wing I will love the team to go for is a right winger and even when James recover, both players can compliment themselves just as Chilwell and cucurella are doing.

In other news: Chelsea are eyeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and their scouts are impressed with him.

According to Calciomercato.com (h/t Daily Mail), Chelsea are eyeing the possibility to sign 23-year-old Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and their scouts were left impressed by his match-winning performance against AS Roma on Sunday.

Osimhen scored a fantastic late winner to keep Napoli three points ahead of second-placed AC Milan in the Serie A. Despite missing a few games due to a hamstring injury, the 23-year-old has been in good goal-scoring form, with five goals in nine appearances in all competitions so far.

That was unexpected for me , unai emery is one of the top manager!

And aston villa seems really mean it by triggering the manager release clause making unai emery have to leave the current job at villareal , he will have a huge impact at the club , at least i expect aston villa to get the europa league ticket start from the next season. Not battling the relegation.

Unai Emery is really taking charge by November 1. But it is an interesting choice of him to leave Villarreal and decide to start managing Aston Villa instead. I know that Villarreal aren't doing well recently as well but it feels like he would have still been more successful with Villarreal.

Aston Villa are entering a new phase and they reacted very quickly to the manager change. They got a 4-0 win over Brentford right away even before Emery comes here. Emery is one of the special managers and I expect him to do a better job than Gerrard with Aston Villa. Maybe they can finish the season in top 10 this time.

[Pokapoka124]

For some reason, I feel like Jude Bellingham is going to be a better fit for Liverpool instead of Real Madrid. Because I don't feel like Real Madrid needs a midfielder right now. If Real Madrid does have any problems I think it is in the defense. But when we talk about Liverpool the first thing we need to know is where they don't have any problems? I feel like Liverpool can utilize this player a lot more right now compared to what Real Madrid can.

And about the form, it is obviously not even a question that if Jude Bellingham does not perform he will have to warm the bench. That is not only for Real Madrid. In any team, if he does not perform he will have to sit on the bench. But that probability is less if he moves to Liverpool in my opinion.

I think Jude Bellingham will be a good addition for Liverpool, his playing style suits Liverpool as he will improve the squad with his pace and ability to dribble and cut through defenses and create chances through square plays and crosses. Real Madrid are balanced in their midfield at the moment and are not looking to additions soon apart from some shaky defense that needs little adjustments.

Aston Villa is a good team that annoyed top ones several times. Its problem is inconsistency as most of the teams everywhere. The management changes could make the team better indeed but it might require recruiting some new players to make things move faster and better.

If I was to be among the board members of Aston Villa Football Club or I am a top decision-maker of the club I would not welcome a new coach for now.
Since the interim coach of the team get a 4:0 win in his first assignment, I would have given him an opportunity of next two matches before I will go ahead to hire a new manager. Football coaching is professional and love, if the team loves you, you will succeed naturally.  No doubt Emry is a good coach.

Unai Emery proved with his work at Villarreal that he has not lost his coaching skills and can make the most of the limited resources available. It is clear that he became too cramped within this club and wanted big challenges. Let him not succeed in working with top clubs, because this is a rather specific issue, often having little to do with coaching. In the case of Aston Villa, he may well expect success, because there are not so high expectations. Moreover, he has experience and knowledge of the realities of the Premier League. A well-known insider Fabrizio Romano claims that Aston Villa will pay 6 million euros to Villarreal as compensation for the transfer of the coach. And the coach himself will receive 7 million euros a year in Birmingham.

Aston Villa has very basic team, they don't really have any shinning one put of them or a player that is so good that other teams want, in this season they are just playing to avoid relegation it seems, and their chances are very very low to do something other than that, no players to achieve something, they need to sign some decent names.

If it is true that Ten Haag did not include Ronaldo in several of Manchester United's matches, then I believe Manchester United will find it more difficult to win every matches. After all, you still need Ronaldo, even when he doesn't score once. If Ten Haag pretends to be arrogant by rejecting Ronaldo, I believe this can be a boomerang for him self, because MU staff and board need Ronaldo for business purpose  .

Yep. Ten Haag will realize it once Rashford can't perform well, or Rashford gets injured. No CF will be available to use because Martial often gets injured for a long time. Ten Haag may consider Eriksen or Bruno Fernandes as a false nine. But I doubt it will be effective, no other players can replace Eriksen or Bruno's role in the midfield line. Also, they are not strong enough to play as CF because they are not familiar with this position.

On the other hand, surely once Ronaldo is leaving the club, Ronaldo fans won't support Man United anymore. There will be a decrease in merchandise sales. Man United seems to have an impact on the club's income.

However, I assume Man United don't care about the impacts because they think Ten Haag is everything.
Ten Haag >> Ronaldo..
