⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shinratensei_]

well yeah, since France is out of his options, and a club is could be his goal, i would probably guess and say PSG if he wanted to coach in France, probably New Castle can convince him and he might accept the challenge and coach in England, or perhaps Bayern Munich if he wanted to coach in Germany, so far that's all can think of that seems kind of reasonable for me.

Paris Saint-Germain's performance this season has been quite good under Christophe Galtier's coach, this will be a consideration in continuing to provide opportunities for Galtier to train PSG.
Meanwhile for Bayern Munich, it is possible that there is still a place for Zinedine Zidane there, considering that Julian Nagelsmann has not been able to bring Munich better as Hansi Flick did the previous Bayern Munich coach.

PSG is having good performance under nagelsmann but i think that it's not enough for PSG to win the champion league. I mean let's take a look at the fact that if nagelsmann didn't have impressive statistic with bayern. I think that bayern is a big team that has potential to win the UCL but it seems like that bayern needs to get a good coach that can bring it to the champion league like zidane.
Nagelsmann was not so bad but the fact that if nagelsmann is not so good for me. Others may have different opinion about him and that's fine.

It often seems that goalkeepers will get their chances at other clubs again and again. A good example is Loris Karius from Liverpool. A lot of people thought that his career might be almost over when he failed so badly in the champions league final against Real Madrid. But now he was even able to sign a new contract with Newcastle United. Who would have expected that? Whether one likes it or not, but Newcastle is climbing up the letter in the EPL right now and if things work out for him one day, he might perhaps even be playing in the CL again...

Newcastle United is obviously doing well and it is going to be good for the career of the gk Loris Karius as well. His career has obviously taken a turn for the best. And that way Newcastle United is being able to perform right now, I don’t think he has too much to worry about. I am quite confident that he will be able to play in the Champions League next season.

What's the point of this contract? I was surprised when I saw that name in your post, went to google when he last played and I don't even see him in the Newcastle game bids... Also looking at his transfer history it's not even signed anywhere that he signed with this team, it seems strange to me... He's not a very good goalkeeper either, he's conceded 270 goals in 217 games in his career, not a very good indicator...

This season de Gea has kept eight clean sheets. I certainly think that is good. But at the same time, he has also conceded 20 goals. And the thing is Manchester United is slowly improving. So, I think we also might see an improvement from him as well. And we all know that he had a bad time with Manchester United, especially when Harry Maguire was regular.

[Silence Scream]

Chelsea have been doing these types of things too much lately. They are investing quite a bit of money in a player who probably does not deserve such a large amount of money in the first place.
Regardless, I do not think he has shown the type of performance that would be adequate to earn him a transfer fee of $13 million, no matter what.

Have you watched him play? If you haven't then go watch some highlights before you come here criticizing Chelsea move to aquire him. While Chelsea has wasted some money in the past but they have all given the club something in return. Our last big move signings won us the champions league and FIFA club world cup. The Chelsea current active players lacks so many things and we can see it when they play. They barely win games so the management are scouting and buying up any available player so we can get a shot at winning something this year.
Andrey Santosis a central midfielder with 8 goals for club last year and we don't have any midfielder capable of scoring or assisting goals apart from Mount which have been off form lately. He's also a Brazilian and we know how good this players play when they get sign into a top Europe club. I also think the fee was decent. Chelsea is a top club and you don't expect other clubs to sell their players very cheap to us when they know we can afford any price they give and we're desperate.

I have seen him play. I absolutely do not think that he is some wonder kid who is going to do something impossible for Chelsea. Some people just see a kid play well these days and start throwing money to get him in the team. I do not believe that he is worth the money that Chelsea gave for him. If this was around 8-10 million, I think even that would have made sense. But 13 million is too much.

Now that football is seen as a business, it is now considered very normal to give such money to young players who are a little promising.  These funds could be transferred well 10 years ago, but now they are seen as "simple money at risk".  If the player does not meet the expectations, the team can be very upset.  Chelsea is a great team.  I think they can bring more important young people to the youth academy.

he's still very young, maybe Chelsea is looking at something that might become big business for them in the next few years. we will not know what will happen in the future. if he has the luck and the skills he deserves to be in Europe's biggest league competition. then we will all see his skills later. if he can't compete then it was a mistake Chelsea made the purchase.

Well, I will give him that, he is very young and he has a lot of potential as well. I do not agree that he was worthy of so much money. But if anyone thinks that he was worthless, it is also going to be a mistake. This kid has a certain flair in him. He can be a very good player. But he will have to work hard. I don’t think he deserves that much money, but it is also going to be very entertaining for even me to see him prove people like me wrong.

I have nothing against young players. I am someone who is always very anxious to see a player perform well, especially if he is young. But I also hate it when people overheat a young player, and after that, he is burdened with expectations.

And that way Newcastle United is being able to perform right now, I don’t think he has too much to worry about. I am quite confident that he will be able to play in the Champions League next season.

For a while Newcastle is enjoying the pleasure of being ranked third in the EPL standings, but all possibilities can still happen because the EPL still has many matches left. The only way that can be taken by Newcastle to appear in the Champions League next season, they have to bring in classy players in the transfer market.

Newcastle position is not completely safe in third place, Manchester United, who have performed well in the last few matches, can threaten Newcastle. Tottenham are also looking to get back into the top four, a single mistake by Newcastle would see them drop out of the top four as Tottenham are only two points behind Newcastle. Returning to play in the Champions League is the dream of Loris Karius and all Newcastle players. To get there, Newcastle must spend money to strengthen their team with top players.

Football basically a business. The billionaires will not try to acquiring the team if they are thinking owned the football team will not be so profitable. So many parties are also even seeing football as investment just like when some fundings companies were joining to our the team with so much money. Anythng is always related with business. So many parties would not wanna try to join or watch the football.
Football = business, business = football. That can't be argued

I remember when barcelona wanna try to sell aubameyang and depay last year but both were abandoning it caused by they wanna stay even longer in barcelona. Aubameyang has been changing his decision about that but depay try to stand with his decision to stay in barcelona and he takes a big risk. Mu already published by daily mail if the club was interesting to sign depay but depay didn't wanna move from barcelona.

I don't think Depay will be suitable to play for Manchester United, so it would be nice if Manchester United looked at other players if they wanted to buy players.
I actually hope that Manchester United can promote their young players instead of buying players from other clubs, which is what they used to do in the past. Or they are looking for younger players that they will coach later to become great players. Because I see that several player transfers carried out by Manchester United lately seem to have failed, not all but most of them don't contribute much to the development of the club. We can see from Garnacho, yes they can bring in a potential player like that.

Manchester United needs a forward and I think it's not right to promote their young players at this time, Manchester United needs a leader or a star label player for their front line to make it better, after failing to get Cody Gakpo now Manchester United is rumored with several other players, one of them is what I think is good for their team, namely Joan Felix.
and for depay, I don't think this player will develop anymore, he tried at Manchester United a few seasons ago, but he failed to show his best performance as well as at Barcelona, this is a player whose career is fading.

Depay is not going to be ideal for Manchester United at all. It will be better for Manchester United to actually play a young player as the main forward instead of playing Memphis Depay. At least the young players will improve.

Manchester United needs to get a good striker. A striker who is almost like a star. I do not know what they are thinking. But I think Victor Osimhen can be a good option for them. I don’t know what is the status of Osimhen's transfer right now. But I want Manchester United to at least try to get him.

[Pokapoka124]

i guess he is not even worth 150m. i will prefer to get some potential players rather than only focusing with one player which is over priced like him. Pogba was a good comparison at his age but if there will be a club will be paying 150m and that club must be so stupid as fuck. he is not even stronger than pogba prime. it seems like that jude was an over priced player at this moment. there are better players than him. im not sure real Madrid was willing to pay such amount to the doertmund for him.

I still don't know why Pogba still has value now, as I know he's an injury specialist, he is rarely played and always plays on the bench. So if any club still wants his service at a higher price, I think the club must fire the agent and talent search. So, Pogba time is over, the golden age of players like pogba is finish, he is different like Ronaldo, if he's not sharp anymore and old, Ronaldo still have Million Social media follower where still have market for merchandise, stadium ticket and television.

Pogba's decline has been seen in recent seasons, especially after he spent a lot of time recovering from injuries. It does seem strange when players who can no longer show their best game and don't even contribute much to the team are still very valuable. Maybe there are other ratings for some people, but for me personally I don't find any advantages so the price is very expensive.

Pogba is an influential player, his time at Manchester United and Juventus was successful and has made quite a good name for himself probably that is why he is still valued for a huge sum. Paul Pogba is not so old and can still offer some level of experience and talent in the midfield for any teams he eventually moves to.

I highly doubt that De Gea would leave United. If they do not want to resign him then I would understand looking for other goalkepeers but Jack Butland is at most a bench player level, he is not unites main goalkeeper level talented player. I would highly suggest checking that Croatian goalkeeper, he made a name for himself at world cup, and should be cheap.

However, none of that should matter, De Gea would most possibly be ready for whatever they would offer and United could offer a decent money and they could keep him for another few years, a 3 year deal would be fine, he would be still at a good age when that's over and meanwhile they could look for someone younger to replace him.

De Gea is still interested in extending his contract at United which he has clearly stated where is loyalty lies on several occasions and at this point I think De Gea will be ready to accept whatever Manchester United are willing to offer him to remain at the club. Manchester United needs a younger goalkeeper as backup for De Gea if he remains at the club.

[harapan]

Have you watched him play? If you haven't then go watch some highlights before you come here criticizing Chelsea move to aquire him.

Highlight can be misleading. Stats too can be misleading. You have to watch a player to know if he is good or not. Even me can have a very good highlight because those are my best moments on the pitch. Because a midfielder scores 10 goals doesn't also make him a good player. Don't ever judge a player by his highlight and stats unless you've watched him consistently. Watching a player ones or twice too does not qualify too. The two days you watched him might be his bad day or good day. So before you judge a player try to watch him consistently.

I have seen him play. I absolutely do not think that he is some wonder kid who is going to do something impossible for Chelsea. Some people just see a kid play well these days and start throwing money to get him in the team. I do not believe that he is worth the money that Chelsea gave for him. If this was around 8-10 million, I think even that would have made sense. But 13 million is too much.

In todays market 13 million for a kid is not much. I have not watched him but since you said he's not a wonderkid then the price is fair. If he was a wonderkid his price would be around 30-50 million in todays market.

Arsenal FC are hoping to upgrade the squad in this January transfer window with talks linked to a £60 million or more for Mykhailo Mudryk.

It is said that the position he plays and his contribution to Shakhtar Donetsk and Ukraine is the main reason his price tag is high.
Arsenal could also be handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Joao Felix and Tammy Abraham as the Gunners eye a potential deal, too.
Lets hope Arteta gets them in time to maintain stands on the top English table, and other games.

It is not going to be a good deal for Manchester United at all. But it is going to be good for Barcelona because they are really trying to get rid of the players that currently do not provide any value to the team. And obviously, Memphis Depay is one of them.

It’s basically free money for Barcelona if they can sell him. But I am not sure that Manchester United is actually going to get him on the team. Because right now, even though Manchester United does need a striker, I highly doubt that Memphis Depay will be able to provide what Manchester United will be asking from him. And remember he was already a flop once for Manchester United.

It looks like Arsenal will have a lot of options in the winter transfer market. Mykhailo Mudryk is also rumored to be being approached by Chelsea. it is a negotiation battle for Arsenal and Chelsea.
it looks like Arsenal will have to burn quite a lot of their money in the winter transfer market if they want to form a very tough squad. especially for efforts to maintain the position of the standings while. maybe Arsenal won't get enough players, but what they get is the best for their squad.

You're right, but how ethical is that?  Football is a sport, football players are also athletes.  Where does the old spirit of football stay when they see it as a business or even as an investment?  Making money may be important, but astronomical numbers should be put aside in football now.  Football is love.

Chelsea have signed a couple players this january window .. there is datro fofana a striker from molde , andrey santos from vasco da gama and benoit badiashile from monaco . Murdyk are indeed approached by chelsea in the past few days but it seems chelsea stepped down the interest.

Arsenal are the leading race to sign him now.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Atletico Madrid are demanding a £9.5m loan fee and a commitment to buy for £70m from Manchester United as negotiations continue for Portugal forward Joao Felix, 23. Atletico are really asking for a lot of money for Felix, will the clubs reach an agreement in the end?

Its not really alot though considering that he was signed for €126 million on age of 19 and he is still a decent player though but if it wasnt Manchester United then this would be a perfect signing but at the moment, Manchester United doesnt really need any other player on that position. They really need a proper striker up front as of now

Joao Felix is a young player with potential, even though it looks like Manchester United for now doesn't really need a Joao Felix but for the long term it feels like it needs to be reconsidered. I think the price is quite high and very difficult to reach a deal. Here, Joao Felix's position requires a club that is indeed suitable, for example, Chelsea or Arsenal as rumors are circulating.

What Man United needed was a pure sticker because that's how the Ten Hag played its strategy. Although Joao Felix tends to play as a second striker but he is still a good option for Man United, especially if Man United can sign him at a competitive price. Considering that Joao Felix is also not the main choice at Atletico Madrid, then Man United has a chance to get Joao Felix at a good price. However, if there are other teams who are also interested in Joao Felix, so there will definitely be the price tug of war, and this could be an advantage for Atletico Madrid.

The French national team head coach Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until 2026. With this, Deschamps would have managed France for 14 years. The power of Didier Deschamps in French football will force Zidane to return to club soccer. It would be wise for Zidane to just forget about coaching France because he would then have to wait another 4 years to coach the France National Football Team, but he would not be guaranteed to succeed.

I don't think Zidane is waiting to be manager of France, maybe he is just taking his time before he makes a decision on his next club or country. Didier Deschamps has been doing an excellent job as French manager and there is no reason why France should do away with him, he has taken them to back to back world cup finals, winning one in the process and coming out runner up in the other one, that is an amazing feat, and i expected his contract as manager to be extended, except if he personally didn't want to.
Having said that, there is a Euro tournament coming up next year and it is expected that France are going to be amongst the favorites for it, i'm pretty sure Didier Deschamps is looking forward to it. If actually Zidane is looking for the French job, four years isn't too long to wait, because i am not sure Didier Deschamps would stay longer than 2026, Zidane could even get himself a job with a club side whilst he waits.

Personally, I do not believe Zidane is interested in coaching the French national team, as I think that he would be better off working as a manager for a club in my opinion, rather than coaching the French national team. In fact, he has proven that he is an excellent club coach while he was at Real Madrid, as he helped them win the Champions League multiple times during his time there. Another thing is that coaching an international team is a hectic job because the coaches do not get to train the players far enough time to bring out the best tactic.

De Gea is a really good goalkeeper. Manchester United wins matches thanks to his saves, especially if he has a good day. I think they will give him the necessary value and sign a new contract. His age is also more average.We saw the goalkeepers play for a long time.De Gea is 32 years old. It will continue to play successfully for 3-4 years.

Another thing is that coaching an international team is a hectic job because the coaches do not get to train the players far enough time to bring out the best tactic.

With Deschamps continuing on it's pretty much done that Zidane have to wait but I don't think he is incapable of managing an international team. He did great job at Madrid so I think he can handle national team job. Possible that he will need a bit more time to adjust but I believe that he will adjust into his role perfectly eventually.

I think 70 million is a lot of money for a player like Joao Felix. I get that he is a young prospective player but I do not think that he is a really consistent one. What Manchester United needs right now is a perfect number nine who can score on a regular basis and Felix is not that kind of a player in my opinion. Maybe something around 40 or 50 million is the perfect range for Joao Felix.

[judas]

Jack Butland is a done deal for Manchester United on loan.

Dubravka's loan contract expired on January 1 and left the team. They must have wanted to fill his place with Butland. There have already been rumours like they were going to bring a new goalkeeper to the team. De Gea has also been speculated with leaving the team by the end of his contract in this summer. But it looks like they just want to keep the quality of goalkeepers as high as possible. Butland isn't a bad goalkeeper normally. He hasn't played in any matches this season so far. But hopefully he will stay fit and be ready for duty when the time comes.
