⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[KTChampions]

So they can rename this session as "only the Premier League will do something in the market".


They really need to change the state of football in Europe. Nobody can spend except them.

But if I'm not mistaken, Barcelona leads the club in player spending. PSG are also in the top with their spending (even if you take Mbappe separately). Real bought Tchuameni for 100 million. Top clubs from other countries successfully compete with clubs from the Premier League, but you are right that in general the Premier League is in the lead in terms of income and if you take smaller clubs then the Premier League clubs are out of competition.

Chelsea Fc is going through a lot, Fans are not excited about the current situation, it is no more news that many wants Porter out. But some couple months ago, clubs like Newcastle, arsenal even Manchester united was also in the same situation as Chelsea but they never sacked Eric Ten Hag, and He's now doing well today.. Though the condition has been the same for long, if we assume the late happenings to be a result of injury,  it will be fair to give porter a chance to at least make use of the newly confirmed players. I think Chelsea will be better again

Jaou Felix Is a 23-year-old player in the laliga this season he scored 4 goals 3 assists from 14 matches. So far this has been pretty good, everyone hopes that Jaou Felix will make a very good contribution as an attacker and be able to score goals in Chelsea matches.

Chelsea needs a striker, who can score goals. Felix is a talented player, but he doesn't score a lot of goals.
Also paying 11 million euro for a player, that will stay in the team for about 4 months seems stupid. Felix probably won't have enough time to adapt to the English football. Chelsea is making so many costly transfer mistakes, after buying Fofana for 70 million and Marc Cucurella for 56 million pounds. It seems that the new Chelsea owner is printing money. The blue team from London acts really desperate on the transfer market. The best transfer for Chelsea would be singing a new manager and replacing Graham Potter.

It’s a little bit understanding that Chelsea have been struck by an injury crisis in recent weeks and that made them to act quickly to get Felix's deal done. Although he has had an inconsistent spell for Atletico this season, registering just few goals and assists from his 14 appearances. But his performances during the World Cup, contributing one goal and two assists suggests there is more to come from a player who was once so highly touted. If suited perfectly in Chelsea, with his abilities, I don’t see anybody stopping him.

It seems like the Weghorst to United deal is all but complete.
A logical and cheap option, Weghorst is a decent player that won't have a problem waiting for his chance from the bench.

He's technically quite good for a tall striker and United will use him in the games in which they plan to cross a lot. This makes sense to me, although it won't get the fans excited.

Weghorst has a good finishing as a striker and maybe that's what Erik ten hag needs to fill Manchester United's attack line. True, the price is also relatively cheap compared to strikers at other clubs and at least saves the budget to shop for players in the current transfer market. With this at least the red devil squad is able to operate properly and there are no more obstacles.

Weghorst has already scored 8 goals and made 4 assists, so it's strange why Besiktas decided to let him go. It's definitely good news for Manchester. Quite a stable striker with a good realization, if partners will help him, he can and will succeed in Manchester.
In general it's strange, Ronaldo went to Al-Nasr, Aboubakar to Besiktas, and Weghorst to Manchester United. It's an interesting turn of events.

Besiktas did not want to let him go, but he wasn't their player. He was on loan there and they had the option to keep him until the loan ends. But United decided to pay something to Besiktas just to terminate the loan now instead at the end of the season.

Weghorst is good striker, but he isn't good enough to play for the biggest clubs in Premier League. But we shall see soon enough.

Felix is worth the price that was paid for him. Even if he has not had many goals for Atletico Madrid, Chelsea can be different for him.  His presence can add some influence to the way the other Chelsea players in front are playing. A lot of attention will be on him, in the coming days for Chelsea to see how well he will adapt to his new team. Chelsea have spent a lot already, but they still need some more players to occupy key positions.

I think it’s is no longer a secret that Manchester United wanted a No 9 and Weghorst would represent an option they have not got in the squad, that physical presence as well as a strong scoring record at club and international level. Although it’s a loan deal but the move is thought to be Manchester United's focus before revisiting the position in the summer when there will be more attacking options available.

Chelsea was fortunate to sign Joao Felix because they desperately needed a young player like him in their attacking line after Sterling and other players in the squad were injured. They could have missed out on signing him if they had waited too long because Arsenal was in talks with Atletico Madrid.

I hope the player does get fit into the team and brings victory back to Chelsea because the club is out of form and needs to start winning games in order to compete for a Champions League spot or even the Europa League because, as far as I can tell, the top four spots will be difficult for them to achieve.

The player himself considered the move a great one and doesn't want to miss out on the chance of playing for Manchester United and also working with Erik Ten Hag. Saw some good finishings a video of him at Wolfsburg with good finishing qualities, would Sancho be back soon to offer to crosses into the box for him, I still wait for the English man to return. According to the coach he is not match fit but would be back soon. Agreement between Burnley and Besiktas is all that he awaits, he must've had a complete agreement with Man United already. With his fighting spirit from the World Cup, he deserves representing Manchester United.

"Here We Go"

Reported from Fabrizio Romano about João Félix have reached verbal agreement and move to Chelsea with loan option and earn €11m all amount pay or converted by Chelsea. I think good option and agreement deal reach both team between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea due João Félix have contract left until 2027.

Good news for Chelsea fans as Joao Felix arrives at Stamford Bridge. I think the arrival of Felix is their attempt to fill the gap in the squad due to injuries to some of their players like Raheem Sterling, Cristian Pulisic and Aubameyang.

Bad news for Manchester United and become second time in this window transfer compete by their rival, last week Cody Gakpo sign with Liverpool and today João Félix prefer choose with Chelsea than Manchester United, beside about salary and offering from Chelsea more excited than Manchester United, I think problem with playing at Europe League and Champion League become reason why priority with Chelsea tan Manchester United.

In this regard, is there no other more appropriate reason behind Joao Felix's decision or joining Chelsea other than because Manchester United only play in the UEFA European League?
It seems that the reason is deliberately made because the reason is not necessarily true coming from every player targeted by Manchester United.
For us, choosing not to join Manchester United is not bad news. We consider it a normal thing in the player transfer competition.

Nice!  He was quite the prospect back then but why hasn't he really reached his full potential under Simeone and would it be different under Graham Potter?  I feel like this signing could be more for the commercial value, aka shirt and jersey sales, than for giving real value to the squad.  Dunno... 

And how is he gonna be used?  As a winger, forward or an attacking midfielder?  Chelsea needs a little more depth in the midfield as a few of their guys are injured.

Chelsea has sealed a loan deal for Joao Felix worth 16 million euros, Chelsea's decision to recruit Joao Felix was the right decision after several of their attackers were currently injured, I think the arrival of Jaoa Felix is ​​at least good news for Chelsea fans who are currently starting to feel sad regarding Chelsea performance which is getting worse, but whether Jaoa Felix will be able to adapt well at Chelsea  or not of course we still need to wait to see him in action at Stamford Bridge later, the decision to borrow Felix can be said as an alternative for, because difficult for Chelsea to get Mudryk who is indeed  is currently valued quite dearly by shaktar donetsk, but by getting Felix, Chelsea automatically opens the door wider for Arsenal to get Mudryk from Shaktar Donetsk  .

Wout Weghorst is a target for Manchester United, however Besiktas will only agree to a deal if they find a replacement for him. However, there is good news in that Wout Weghorst did not train with the team today, according to reports. It's like he leapt out of nowhere to gain attention, but it's really his profile that fills the void temporarily. According to my observations, the transfer process is becoming increasingly complicated.

Yes, I have read the news on social media, indeed Besiktas said they would not let Weghorst go if they had not found a replacement. I wondered whether Weghorst's role was that important for Besiktas? Why is it difficult for Besiktas to find a replacement? It looks like it will be a little difficult for Manchester United to get Weghorst's services.

Many considerations have been made by Manchester United before deciding to bring in Weghorst. To be honest, I don't really follow the appearance of this player, but if you look at his statistics on the several teams he has defended, I think I can conclude he is a player to rely on at Manchester United. We'll see under the direction of Erik Ten Hag, will he become a wild player or even become an unsatisfactory transfer.

We know that Erik ten hag's interest in players who have Dutch nationality is very high, so it's no wonder why Erik ten hag likes him. But on the other hand, it is possible that this agreement will be slightly delayed because the government may want to keep it and I hope that both parties will immediately decide on the best option for the future of Wout Weghorst.

Joao Felix is a very talented young star. He can come back to life by playing half a season in the English Premier League. I think Diego Simeone's solid defensive game system has blunted his star a bit. At Chelsea, he may have a chance to present himself again to world football. Also, there are reports that Diego Simeone will leave Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. When Joao Felix returns to Atletico Madrid next year, he may have the opportunity to work with a new manager with a modern understanding of football. I think this transfer is a very correct transfer in terms of his football development. On the other hand, Chelsea really needed this transfer. Because their position in the league is very bad.

Ten Hag has said that Martial cannot shoulder that physical load in the attack in the way him wants his team to play. I’m thinking Weghorst is the right player for Ten Hag to fill that position for now until they get a proper option in the team. For sure his sheer physicality should help Manchester United. He's also got an excellent eye for goal and is rarely wasteful in front of goal.

João Félix is still young and he is one of those young players who will do well if he is given enough minutes to make the most of what he has. João Félix will be a new hope for Chelsea to be able to become the solution they have been looking for all this time. As we see today, Chelsea is in a bad situation and continues to lose. They need a lot of players who can bring change and fresh air to their game. Monotonous, yes, that's one word I would say when looking at Chelsea's game. I don't know who was wrong, whether it was Graham Potter who didn't have a good strategy or the players he had couldn't implement the strategy he was directing.
Last season they lost only 6 of the total Premier League matches they played, and now they have lost 6 of 17 matches, a very distant comparison.

Chelsea and arsenal in the race to sign mudryk from shaktar Donetsk have been highly competitive for the both english clubs, although the winger ultimate decision is to join the gunners, he have always dream of playing for arsenal and his country teammate, Oleksandr Zinchenko played a major role and creating awareness why he needs to join arsenal. On the other hand, João Félix loan deal to Chelsea is one of the necessary things the blues needed and they're in such a tight corner on the table with poor results in a row. The blues need players because most of their keyplayers are injured, making them prey to teams in the premier league to use them grab easy three points.

Joao Felix is indeed a talented player but he doesn't have a good attitude towards simeone, that means he is the type who doesn't want to hear directions (almost the same as Cristiano Ronaldo when at MU) so I doubt whether he will be able to work with Potter, who is currently trying to adapt to Chelsea's playing pattern. players who have problems with coaches, must have bad ethics.

Ten Hag has said that Martial cannot shoulder that physical load in the attack in the way him wants his team to play. I’m thinking Weghorst is the right player for Ten Hag to fill that position for now until they get a proper option in the team. For sure his sheer physicality should help Manchester United. He's also got an excellent eye for goal and is rarely wasteful in front of goal.

Weghorst is another phenomenal target for MU, even many people criticize that MU's style of play will change if MU buys Weghorst, he is known to have a fairly high height but the issue is Weghorst; is a ten hag strategy for games that rely on long passes.

I don't know why Manchester United has much emphasis on the goal. In the history of Manchester United the club is known for producing good goalkeepers do that should not give Manchester United headache when De gea is still active.
Manchester United I think has a good goal keeper that is on loan and they also signed a goalkeeper last year

I totally agree. I think that Manchester United has one of the best goalkeepers in their squad already with De Gea, so there is not really much need to act here in my opinion. De Gea is also "only" 32 years old, which is not really an old age for a goal keeper. Manuel Neuer still plays great at 36 years old and Gianluigi Buffon is still playing with 44 years of age. So i think that Manchester United does not really need to think about getting a new goalkeeper for at least the next 4 or 5 years.
I think that Manchester United has other positions where they should look for new players instead, like in the central offense.

It's true De Gea is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, I wouldn't look any further, age doesn't matter, besides, 32 years old doesn't mean he's old enough, what they should look for quickly is strikers, strikers who are what the triumphs, but honestly in my personal opinion, the one who is doing everything wrong is Ten Hag, as long as he is in charge of Manchester things will not go very well, I think that this is something that could be the core of all the bad things that have happened . Of course, it's just my personal opinion, others may have their point of view, but seeing everything that has happened, I would change the coach from now on.

I have read about Bale's interest in golf in more than two blogs and this is also a confirmation of it. I also heard that most times golf used to interfer in his career when he will  chose playing golf over training. I really doubted that report and now you said it again whether as a joke or not, it really shows that Bale has love for golf more than football

More than Madrid to be exact


However he explained that it was a joke after Madrid's legend Mijatovic blamed him for too much playing golf. But still it was just not the right timing for that joke since he was playing poor for Madrid at that time. Though only childish fans who don't consider him as Madrid's legend. He really deserves it along with other legends such as Casillas and Xabi Alonso.

It goes without saying that no one will ever forget the legendary goal that he scored against Barcelona during his career. There is no one I am aware of who has such a type of heat map. There was no doubt that he was a legendary player. In my opinion, if he had not been injured, he could have played for a longer period of time.

While he was in his prime, he was one of the most dangerous men his opponents faced. To be honest, it is not very surprising that he has decided to retire from football. As we look back on the last few years, especially in light of what has been happening to him, it is easy to understand why.

Cant disagree on that, it's all started when he got injured. I actually didn't hope much on him after his ankle injury on 2016 but somehow he rose and score sick goals in 2018 UCL Final. In the next year, Ronaldo left to Juventus and I was very sure that was a perfect moment for him to lead the team, but another injury hit again and he didn't play better since then.

The truth is that a legend like Bale leaves a lot of nostalgia. I remember when Bale was going to arrive at Real Madrid, it was a total scare, everyone was hallucinating with his arrival, I knew that the Welshman had a lot of speed, now with everything that is happening there are many people who say that most of the players are about to to leave and it's a shame, some say we won't have Messi anymore, CR7, now Bale, it's all a matter of waiting, hopefully the most influential players won't be made by the teams they play for, they leave and they have enough willpower since CR7 had to leave a club in another region of the world, where they want CR7 to recover the joy that was taken from him at Man United.

Welsh soccer legend Gareth Bale, who helped LAFC to first MLS title, retires at 33
losangeles

January 9, 2023 / 3:51 PM / AP

Gareth Bale announced his retirement from soccer on Monday at the age of 33, ending the career of one of Britain's greatest players after winning five Champions League titles and finally getting to play in a World Cup for Wales.

Bale was once the world's most expensive player when he joined Real Madrid for $132 million in 2013 and, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, was a devastating forward capable of surging runs and brilliant goals with his powerful left foot.

He was a European champion with Madrid in 2014, '16, '17, '18 and last year, before finishing his club career by helping Los Angeles FC win the Major League Soccer title.

The former Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino has the opportunity to return to the EPL and manage Chelsea moreover he is in free.
I don't think Tuchel will return to Chelsea because that would prove that sacking him was a big mistake.

Pchettino was not so good as manager. Totenham didn't perform so well under him. Brendan rogers were also the worst choice from the list. Mourinho seems a bit better but zidane will become the best choice for chelsea. Zidane being hunted by so many clubs in the world. Even some big countries have been offering him the job to be a coach for their football team but zidane has been refusing it. That will be far better to see him to be a new manager for cheslea. Tuchel is focusing with the international career.
Todd was making a mistake and he shall not repeat it again by signing tuchel back and sacked him for second times. I think that lampard must be included in the management not for the coach.
