⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Masplanc]

But even if you have to sack Graham Potter, it's also too soon, he is indeed fully responsible for the bad results that Chelsea have got this season, but at least he should be given another chance to cultivate the depth of the Chelsea squad, which has now also bought several new players in the transfer market. Sterling is positioned as a productive wing, it seems that even if Chelsea sells it, no one can replace him at this time.

Wrong decision if Chelsea sack Potter now. Even though his current performance is very far from expectations, firing him this quickly will obviously have an impact.
Apart from that they will lose money with the current salary and compensation they also have to be aware that bringing in a new coach in their current condition will make the players more unbalanced so it's better to trust it until the end of the season because I think Chelsea and Potter are still there though right now he was in a very chaotic state.

The problem of Chelsea is that they don't know when it is right to sack a coach, this has been one of the problems that has been affecting Chelsea.  Graham's effort is not good enough to improve Chelsea , this is not the right time to for him to be sacked as a coach.

Barcelona have often indicated their interest in retaining the Dutch man in the club which comes as a surprise to me given my reason that they barely play him and he has not even been in the team's first eleven squad. I am now skeptical that Real Madrid are so interested in signing Bellingham this season because if they are so serious I expect something would be done by now but nothing not even a bid has been made.

Memphis Depay has been playing really well for the Barcelona side so far and I do not think that Barcelona will be ready to sell one of the best players to any other club at this moment.
Moreover, I think that Memphis Depay is content at the club right now.

You know he has got more than 10 goals and he is only 28 years old right now. So, I think Barcelona will try to renew his contract and perhaps keep him for a few more seasons.

There is no clear talk about Memphis. There are those who say they will leave Barcelona, ​​and there are those who say they will stay in Barcelona. I think staying in Barcelona would be the best thing for him. Memphis is a player who has made great contributions to Barça. In the coming days, it will be clear how to take steps on the contract.

I don't know what is the main goal of Al Nassr by wanting to bring in a lot of players with European labels after they managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo, what is certain is that it will make their team better known. I won't be surprised when they manage to bring 1 or 2 more players to their club because their financial strength is so very good. I think it would be more profitable for them to carry names other than the goalkeeper. But let's see what they will do next.

It is clear they want recognition not just for the club but also for the entire league and Also help The Asian football. If you look at some of the highest spending clubs in Europe, they are mostly owned by the Arabs. Maybe they thought of it and decided to rather invest in their own league. The last World Cup showed how improved the Asian countries have become recently in football and with top players in the world playing in the league many young players will learn a lot from them. Coupled with the fact that they will gain TV rights.

The problem of Chelsea is that they don't know when it is right to sack a coach, this has been one of the problems that has been affecting Chelsea.  Graham's effort is not good enough to improve Chelsea , this is not the right time to for him to be sacked as a coach.

Chelsea seriously got it wrong in sacking Tuchel, he wasn’t performing but you have to consider your options before getting him out and at that time nobody available was better than him. Even Liverpool is having a bad season but they are skeptical about sacking Klopp because of lack of better options. Right now Chelsea are stuck with Potter and they can’t sack him too except Tuchel decides to come back

It is still a rumor, nothing is clear for sure. Since Barcelona only has Lewandowski as a CF, I assume Depay will stay in Barcelona until the end of the season. Unless Barcelona signs a new CF during this January transfer window, Depay is likely to stay. Depay was rumored many times to leave Barcelona, but he never leaves the club. I believe Depay feels happy to stay in Barcelona, especially when Barcelona is managed by Xavi. Anyway, his contract expires in June, so there is still a lot of time to consider the extension.

It is certainly not a matter of being greedy. Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to find a top club that is playing in the Champions League. So he basically had to choose the money. And we also have to remember that Cristiano Ronaldo is 38 years old. I do not understand what people expect from him at this age.

Yup, Ronaldo has no interest in joining Al-Nassr at the beginning. Even when the offer came, he didn't take it and try to find European clubs. Because his dream is to win the champions league or at least return to playing in the UCL. However, his salary is too high for a player who is considered old in Europe, so that no one can afford to pay Ronaldo's salary. Al-Nassr was an offer that came in and there was no choice for Ronaldo. IMO
Well, in Asian level i think Ronaldo still can give his best performance. Maybe now his target to win AFC Champions League with Al-Nassr.

Wherever he plays, I think it is his choice, although many consider it a career downturn when he joins an Arab league club. If it is said that he is not playing well anymore or has decreased in performance, that makes sense because he is old and that will greatly affect his performance. I don't see the same thing when star players in the past choose to join leagues that are not very popular, or even choose to retire when they are still under Cristiano Ronaldo. Maybe this is the effect of his status as one of the best players in the world who has several records.

@masulum
Although he is aged, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a very good player. I think he is not going to need to put his 100% into every match, right?
He will be able to perform well and I am also quite sure that he is going to break a few records as well.

@Sterbens
Actually, there is no choice for Cristiano Ronaldo to go somewhere else. Because every team was interested to bring in new and young players.
Cause you know, it is obvious that new and young players are going to be able to give their service for a longer period of time.

The latest transfer rumors come from Al-Nassr who seems to be interested in signing goalkeeper Keylor Navas from PSG. We know Keylor Navas was also one of Cristiano's former teammates at Real Madrid for several seasons. Will Keylor Navas leave PSG this season and join Al-Nassr? what do you think?

I don't know what is the main goal of Al Nassr in wanting to bring in a lot of players with European labels after they managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo, what is certain is that it will make their team better known. I won't be surprised when they manage to bring 1 or 2 more players to their club because their financial strength is so very good. I think it would be more profitable for them to carry names other than the goalkeeper. But let's see what they will do next.

Not only to make their team better known, The reason is that personality like Ronaldo has given the entire Arab League a higher level of popularity. As it stands now, many viewers will be subscribing to the Arab League to watch Ronaldo. The only reason why the Arab league is not well known is because of the home-ground players' rule. Arab league only permits a maximum of 8 non-Arabic players per Team, and this automatically makes the league look vulgar to viewers.

How you can expect there's a new club will want to spend a lot money to sign an inactive player and doesn't show good performance? Depay has joined Barcelona since July 2021 and he only play for 42 matches with 14 goals, also he join Barcelona is free from Lyon. I would say it's already good if a club want to spend him for 22 Million Euro since it's his market value, I would expect lower than that.

It will be hard to find a player to replace Lewandowski because almost a good pure striker has joined in top clubs.

It is going to be very difficult, in fact, to bring in a player like Robert Lewandowski to the team in the near future. I know there are a lot of other players who are actually better than him in comparison to him. The problem is that I doubt that they are as prolific a goal scorer as Robert Lewandowski is. In addition, I strongly believe that he is one of those individuals who cannot be replaced easily. Like Lionel Messi, there is no one who can replace him. However, a club should always have a backup plan in case something happens wrong. As for Memphis Depay, I believe that he is Barcelona's back-up plan at the moment.

Al-Nassr don't intend to stop at a point seemingly. They are after everyone these days.

When it comes to Keylor Navas maybe it would be better for him to make a move there. Because he is the backup goalkeeper in the team from now on. Donnarumma has been doing a pretty good job so PSG don't feel the need of preferring Navas over him. There are so many goalkeeper alternatives as well. Of course Navas is better than all the other alternatives but still the situation is like this. Navas doesn't deserve to wait in the subs as he is still a good goalkeeper. He can join a team that he can have much more playing time.

It's just a matter of time before his contract is renewed. In fact, uncertainty causes a loss of performance for a football player. This does not seem to have happened for Memphis. Its performance is still good. If the contract is renewed and he can stay at Barcelona, ​​then I think he will play football at a higher level. I like this Dutch boy. He adds a lot to Barcelona.

[Minecache]

Did anyone watch Mudryk play for more than 2 games? The guy has 50 games in total for Shakhtar, I really cannot understand how they got 100 million for him.
The initial offer Arsenal started with was 40 million, this exploded way too high and way too fast. I feel Boehly has no clue what he's doing.
To be honest, with this kind of spending Chelsea has to be looked at as a title contender - which means that they are drastically underachieving.

most people doubt this player, because Mudryk is not yet categorized as a rare player or a player who can be considered a top player. Therefore Chelsea's purchase is considered a reckless purchase for the umpteenth time by the Blues. There were no achievements that made Mudryk just a gambler at Chelsea. That could be dangerous or another blunder because Chelsea's purchases this season haven't shown much improvement at all.

I would like to give my opinion about Chelsea spending tons of money on newer players. I think the problem is they are coach Graham Porter who is not very experienced with top-tier clubs and as a result, Chelsea are having a really tough time winning games.

Chelsea have a very balanced squad at this moment and I do not think they need to spend millions of dollars to acquire more players. Chelsea have a very balanced squad at this moment and I do not think they need to spend millions of dollars to acquire more players. And what Boehly has been doing lately with the negotiations is just absurd because he is making Chelsea pay a huge amount of money.

[Velvet78]

I don't know if it is really true but it is claimed that Chelsea are ready to listen to offers for Sterling in this transfer window.

It has been only half a season since he joined the team. I don't understand why Chelsea can be eager to sell him already now. He isn't the reason of their bad form in the end. It is due to the team effort and some weaknesses in specific positions. Now they are trying to fix these by making new transfers. Sterling is still a good attacking player and he can be useful for Chelsea. They shouldn't be in a hurry to part ways with him just yet.

Actually, Sterling's performance at Chelsea is quite good, Chelsea should be able to reconsider Sterling's offer in this transfer window. This is speculation in my opinion, maybe Chelsea want to get their capital back, after they managed to get Mudryk for 100 million euros? Is the club currently in a bad financial situation? It shouldn't, considering Todd Boehly is a rich and successful man.

I don't think Chelsea need to do that. As you also said they are already very rich thanks to Boehly. Nothing has changed about it. I wonder if there is any issue with financial fair-play but I don't think so. If they were at risk then we would have seen it on the news already I assume.

I think Chelsea should keep Sterling in the team. He has been one of the permanent members of the starting eleven since the start of the season. He hasn't performed badly as well. There is no reason to sell him now.

[bitgolden]

Todd Boehly has been bossing the transfer market for Chelsea so far, pulling deals and making things happen. Chelsea management are seriously making efforts to strengthen their side and eager to turn things around. I guess Boehly's project in the long run is interesting as you say and joint with the mouthwatering offers Murdryk could not resist. I don't blame the player anyway because he had little or no choice after the club had agreed a deal with Chelsea for his signature.

It's basically what happens when someone who doesn't understand anything about football, goes into football with people at management willing to spend someone else's money for players that would be good, but not what's needed.

I mean sure go ahead and get Haaland too where you are at it, spend another 200 million if they accept it, that's not the point though. Wouldn't it be better if you spent that 200 million on 3 players that would help out more? They spent so much, more than they should, just to get good players and not the players they actually "need". Which is why they will keep being a terrible team, not going to recover, it's just that easy.

Being in 10th position at the moment does not indicate a good thing in my opinion. but I quite agree with what you said even though Sterling's previous contract was a five year contract with a 12 month option in the clause but it looks like this is still a possibility.
In addition to covering up their madness in spending money in the last 2 transfers, Sterling has actually not shown good performance so far, so I think the chance to leave with this condition is still possible.

[herurist]

About Depay.

There is a small rumor here in Italy about a potential swap between Inter and Barcelona.

Depay from Barca to Inter and Correa from Inter to Barca.

This is possible because Inter are still having difficulties in their attack line following Correa and Romelu Lukaku being injured so this is possible even though in this case they still have to work hard because there is the name Atletico who are still serious and there are several rumors about Roma and Juventus trying to approach the Dutchman .
But whatever happens the most important thing I think is that Depay goes wherever he chooses to go instead of being in Barcelona.

[CryptoPanda]

all seen when the midfield from Man City always failed to send the ball to Haaland. their midfield was interrupted by Ten Hag's aggressive strategy in midfield and managed to completely overwhelm Man City's defense.
if City wants to make Haaland more productive. yes, the only way is to lighten Haalan's burden not to go down to pick up the ball. and made their midfield very strong. or create other attack options besides putting Haaland alone up front. Regarding Sterling, in the last match, he suffered an injury that is rumored to take a long time to recover. Man City must look for other alternatives.

You are very correct, in order to get Haaland to score goals the midfielders have to be active enough to get the ball through to him in the box creating chance and space for him to do damage. Manchester City were unable to do that yesterday because United's midfield was strong and they stopped these runs and passes before they could happen. This goes to show how dependent Manchester City have become dependent on Haaland.

With money is no problem things looking interesting for the Al-Nasser specially after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo they are having good intention from media and now their fan base is also more the treble which is increasing good intention about the Saudi Arab's soccer league which will be helpful for having more investors and better things in near future.

Recently after the successful hosting of the world cup in Qatar now Gulf region countries are spending good amount on their domestic leagues and bringing quality players which will increase the quality and performance of their clubs, and they could be able to have good investors and fans intention which will help them for having good profit and solid system for the bright future of the soccer in this region.

I am quite disappointed with this news, because initially Mudryk really wanted to play with the Gunners. however, it seems Donetsk is reluctant to let go of Mudryk at the nominal price offered by Arsenal. in the end Chelsea succeeded in hijacking Arsenal's move to bring in this young winger from Shakhtar Donetsk, something quite fantastic with what the Chelsea boss had done. at least now Chelsea has several newcomers and what is interesting, will Chelsea still be hunting for other players, especially for midfielders in this January transfer window.
Speaking of Arsenal, by the way it looks like Arteta has no other choice but to sign a pure Striker this January. the reason is, Arsenal really need a striker services purely for the needs of his team. Arteta needs other options, apart from only relying on Eddie Nketiah, who has yet to prove his sharpness.

Chelsea has got good signings in the past few months which will boost up their performance in the coming weeks for sure.
But I have to say that I did not like how they snatched out Mudryk from Arsenal.

I think the player himself wanted to play for Arsenal in the first place,
and maybe his previous team just wanted to give him a way to whoever paid a bit more money and in this case that was Chelsea.
Whatever, I hope that with the recent signings, Chelsea will be able to overcome the tough phase they are going through.

About Depay.

There is a small rumor here in Italy about a potential swap between Inter and Barcelona.

Depay from Barca to Inter and Correa from Inter to Barca.

It seems to me to be a completely unfair exchange, if it does happen. Yes, he is a good player, but Depay has more advantages, besides he is already well established in Barcelona and he will not need to adapt if anything. Although the market price of both players is the same and if you look on this side, the exchange is equivalent

[tygeade]

Chelsea seriously got it wrong in sacking Tuchel, he wasn’t performing but you have to consider your options before getting him out and at that time nobody available was better than him. Even Liverpool is having a bad season but they are skeptical about sacking Klopp because of lack of better options. Right now Chelsea are stuck with Potter and they can’t sack him too except Tuchel decides to come back

Yeah, Chelsea new management done big mistake in sacking Thomas Tuchel which is now causing for the two loses one team's performance is still on decline, and they are having chance to be out of the top six spots from Premier League which could be big lost for them and with this many big players are bought by Thomas Tuchel now on sell from Graham Potter with most chances they have to suffer in money as well because mostly will be not gone on same price which were offered for brought them here, and they are not able to perform good under the new coach which is surely big setback for the club and management.

Even Graham Potter is bringing few new players but still no guaranteed to be having good results from them as well because they are going badly down and now just few weeks with big challenge against Borussia Dortmund is also coming hopefully things could be positive for them.

[Captain Corporate]

As far as I know, the player has to accept the deal as well. Meaning, if you convince the club then you need to convince the player as well to make the transfer work. If the player wants to go to Arsenal and not Chelsea, then he could say no and would either stay at his club or he will be sold to Arsenal, meaning he probably wasn't too against playing at Chelsea either.r

I also disagree with their transfers, it wasn't as good as people think it was, players they got are not THAT great, at least not as great as the money they spent, if they spent %50 of this and got these players I would say ok, but they paid waaaaay too much for the players they got and that's why it doesn't look that great at all.
