⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[izsara]

Besides Newcastle should look for bigger transfers especially if they manage to qualify for the Champions League. They will have all the things they need to sign top players in that case.

Newcastle champions league, wow wow are we not getting ahead of ourselves... Is this also the part where those clauses of Cristiano Ronaldo coming to Newcastle come in as well   tbh top 4 won't happen there is too much history at stake here Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea all will find their MOJO to fight for that spot being occupied by Newcastle.

Seeing some of the progress made by Liverpool and Chelsea which is quite slow I think with Newcastle's consistency now it is still possible.
Even though we know for sure clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham can still make competition.
But on the other hand it's actually interesting to see Newcastle's transfer. They are still sticking with players who can be said to be normal in my opinion for a very rich club.

[herurist]

Memphis Depay is still talented and experienced player, a very important characteristic that will be needed in every team. Before the world cup I would have doubted this news but after putting up a good performance at the world cup with Netherlands what would you expect. Atletico Madrid seem to be very interested in the player judging by the number of times and places I see this headlines. Depay will fill in for Joao Felix if he joins.

Even so, he was eliminated in the end. Depay's condition is not too good for a big club because indeed he has failed at Manchester United, he also failed at Barcelona at this time even though his condition as a striker is actually not too bad. Now it's just a matter of waiting whether Barcelona will actually auction off this player or not because from a readiness perspective it looks like Atletico are ready with Depay.

It is actually going to be very good for Arsenal if they can get Mykhailo Mudryk. Arsenal is already performing really well this season and he can improve the quality of the squad more. And I am also hearing that the deal is very close to being done.

Chelsea have hijacked the deal and have reached an agreement with his club for a €100million  deal. Arsenal were very close with €95million. He is more likely to be unveiled as a Chelsea player in a few hours.  Very unfortunate for Arsenal, we were really expecting that we would be able to get him to join us on time before we face Manchester United.
Chelsea on the other hand have really spent a lot of Money on transfer this season and are still spending.

I don't know why chelsea was buying him for lots of money like that. It seems like that chelsea was seeing a player that being bet by arsenal as potential player? So much money being spent by todd instead of making its team become efficient in the transfer and todd was wasting more money to buy unneeded player. The current squad is not good but it doesn't mean todd must buy any player with non sense price tag like that. it seems like that mostly of small team was fooling the big team by giving a very big price tag.
Let's see whether the final deal will be made or not. 100m was a lot of money just for him.

They brought back a player like him even though this player was really wanted by Arsenal.
But hey how much money have they put in transfers this season I think Todd really wants to complicate things now because with so many players now when they fail to be in a decent position at the end of the season this is going to be quite the subject of criticism big for them.

Honestly, I think that is going to be the case in the end. It is likely that they will not be able to finish in a favorable position on the table in the long run. There is no doubt that they will face a lot of difficulties and a lot of people are going to point fingers at them for it. In line with what was expected, Chelsea fans are also not happy with the decisions that are being made by the club. I just hope that this does not turn out to be another deal like the Romelu Lukaku deal.

I think Chelsea doesn't want to let Arsenal to become a champion in Premier League, Arsenal really need striker in this month and next month because Jesus will back after late February 2023. Arsenal currently only have Martinelli, Saka and Nketiah, if one of them injured, there's no way for the other striker to replace them since the other substitution player is very bad.

But I tend to agree it's too much for Chelsea to spent 100 Million Euro, Arsenal only offer 40 Million Euro with adds on.

I think Chelsea will follow Barcelona path where they will suffer huge debt since they're keep sign a new player and pay too much.

Now it's just a matter of waiting whether Barcelona will actually auction off this player or not because from a readiness perspective it looks like Atletico are ready with Depay.

What's next? Depay has not yet gotten regular time to play. he was become a useless player in the barcelona. If he will be still continue to follow his ego and he will miss opportunity to play actively in another club like atletico madrid.
Atletico madrid was also a good team. atletico was rarely absent from playing in the champion league. He must not follow his ego to stay even longer in barcelona while lewandowski has always become the main choice by xavi.
It doesn't make sense if he will still try to stay at barcelona. I think that depay must try to be open minded player. He can get more experience in another team

[Docnaster]

I would say Chelsea has already gotten all that it wanted. Todd Boelly should now focus on Graham porter to see if actually the fault is from him. Already He has spent a lot on signing Joao Felix, Fofana, knunku, and Mudryk, all of which are attackers, what is the essence of bordering about Madueke when the team's right-back and central midfield also need more creativity? I wonder why it's taking him so long to dictate the deficiency in The central midfield. Bringing in Madueke will be a complete waste of money.

After releasing Joao Felix to Chelsea, Atletico Madrid are trying to find players to fill the position just left by Joao Felix. Atletico Madrid have taken an interest in Depay who has received little attention from Xavi, Simeone team will try to bring Depay on loan until the end of the season. I think this transfer process will go perfectly, Depay needs to prove his quality with other clubs and Atletico Madrid are ready to accommodate him.
Barcelona could speed up the process of Depay transfer to Atletico to ease the wage burden on players who are rarely used.

He had been at Chelsea for a long time when he came to replace Thomas Tuchel, so he should have no reason to recognize the character of the player he has. Plus, now a few players came over from his coaching period, so it should suit the characteristics of the game he has from a player. If Graham Potter still can't make changes after several players coming in this transfer window, then maybe the problem lies with him.

Chelsea has pretty much burned their cash in the summer transfer market. and they also spend in the winter transfer market. but what Chelsea showed was not something big.
Previously fans had talked about being dissatisfied with Graham Porter's performance. fans see the problem is not in their squad but the Chelsea coach who just doesn't fit in.
I think if Graham porter doesn't put in a better game by the end of this season, Chelsea can finish with Graham porter and start a new season with a new coach.

The club is in a state where it hasn't been for a very long time. Tuchel didn't lose to this extent but his contract was terminated, Morinoh, Conte and the rest other top Coaches were all sacked after losing more than expected, even with the fact that they won the club a trophy, so I think porter is really lucky. Maybe he wouldn't be if it was in the ownership of the Russian businessman. Toed Bolly really wants to grow the club with him so I suggest Chelsea be a bit more patient.

Saturday's transfer gossip:
Chelsea could sign France forward Marcus Thuram for as little as €10m (£8.86m) this month with 25-year-old's Borussia Monchengladbach contract expiring at the end of the season. A very good price for a great player.
Manchester United have received serious takeover interest from the Middle East, Asia and America and are poised to invite formal bids from them by next month's deadline. British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also expected to bid for the club. In the end, who will bid the most and take over the club? The Saudis again?

At times I feel like he's not just the one to take Chelsea to another level, but the management has given him more time than we all expected, some names I'll love to see em ( Chelsea ) the blues parting ways with would be, Loftus Cheek, Jorginho, Azpilicueta, Aubameyang, Mendy since he's not really ready to play for the club. Ngolo Kante inna way since he's been Injury prone player. Callagher can be given some time.

It'll be so painful for Arsenal fans to see all of these recent drama, this would be as a result not having enough funds to back the players movement to Arsenal. I won't lie, I'm a bit disappointed seeing this lad going the other way. Shakhtar Donetsk should have completed this deak with gunners. Though, good luck to him ahead as he takes his medicals today.

The Glazers haven't really been good owners who has disappointed the fans and club numerous occasions, it's best they get this sale done once and for all. Thanks for the information.

they did not just give something not big, in my opinion they did terribly so far, not so long ago they won the Champions League, and now with all the new transfers they made they are even far from qualifying for the CL next season, this not a good look for them at all, they have pretty good players to perform well or at least better, but probably Tuchel had something to do with their success before, and his replacement doesn't seem to do any good.

Chelsea will continue to struggle until they sack Potter Graham, he's not good enough to manage big club like Chelsea. Yes he did well as Brington coach. Potter Graham has no Excuse not to perform, he had good players and team to succeed.but he's lacking confidence and experience to manage the team.
Chelsea management should look for an experienced coach to hire before things get worse.
With Potter Graham,they will not finish top four and probably may not play europa.

[naira]

Once again Chelsea made a waste by cornering Arsenal who had tried to bid on Shakhtar players. Chelsea dropped €100 million without a second thought. I don't know if this is excessive or not, because Chelsea seems to be doing this kind of action many times in the transfer market this season. Mudryk talent who has never had a track record in the European caste but is successfully priced at a high price. I wonder if this is just a price game that Arsenal are deliberately building with Shakhtar to bait Chelsea.

Chelsea made a decision too quickly when sacking Tuchel to bring in Potter, Chelsea performance under Potter was no better when Tuchel was still Chelsea coach. Now Chelsea must accept the consequences of their decision, even though they have brought in new players, Chelsea performance has not shown any improvement.

The issue of Potter dismissal began to blow, Chelsea was impatient with Potter performance. Under the leadership of Potter, Chelsea did not look like a big team, now it is increasingly difficult for Chelsea to move from the mid-table standing.

They have the money to splash, but it's a big gamble to buy such a player for such an amount, in my opinion. I doubt if Chelsea's woes are about to end with this January signings. There might be a much bigger problem at Chelsea.

Bad news for Arsenal, but I think they will have to search for another alternative. Chelsea has pretty much hijacked most of their deals for potential forward back-ups. What Arsenal currently have is a thin squad, which might have trouble towards the end of the season with so many games coming in.

 Chelsea are just rushing into signing players onee they see other clubs are going for that player, like Arsenal has been linked with Mudryk but the bid wasn't accepted so Chelsea didn't even had any second thought and now he's heading to play for the blues.
 The blues are now becoming Barcelona for Arsenal, first it was Jaon Felix and now Mudryk both players has been hijacked by Chelsea, will these players change the way they play or even elevate there style of play and bringing them to winning ways?

Chelsea looks so aggressive but it will not become a successful transfer at the end. i don't even know what has been thinking about chelsea. Chelsea will be let around 4 - 5 players from the current squad to leave from the club.
It seems like that the massive bought that already made by chelsea was actually panic buying. A bit surprised that chelsea management was even commenting to the mudryk as a new mbappe lol.
that looks so hilarious to see that the management of chelsea didn't even think for the second time. it seems like that shakhtar agreed with chelsea's offer. All of transfers that happened with chelsea look so weird.

You have a point. The management has given him more time than expected, That's because they believe in him more than we fans do, U may not know their reasons for that. Speaking of Loftus cheek, jorginoh, Kante, Gallager, and Mendi, have you compared these players with the new players that Chelsea bought, try to do so, then u will realize that you have succeeded in selling Chelsea's first goalkeeper, and all the surviving central midfielders, and get ready to face the danger of playing with attackers only.
