⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lordhermes]

There are reports that Atlético Madrid are close to signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona in a deal worth around £3m. A mixture of injuries and form concerns have ruined his 2022-23 season so far. So instead of sitting on the bench, I think it’s a good move for him because he has struggled this season, making just four appearances and scoring one goal across 206 total minutes.

I  hope that depay will be happy to play in the new team with new teammates too. He shall not waste more time in Barcelona.

Depay had an okay start to life in Barcelona in his first campaign. But the second season was a bit challenging for him. Much was expected of Depay when he joined Barcelona from Lyon in the summer of 2021, but he has largely failed to live up to that hype. He will now try to get his career back on track at Athletico Madrid under Diego Simeone. I have a feeling that Simeone’s setup could allow Depay more freedom in his role.

Depay struggled in Manchester United but end up been super star in Lyon. Then in Barcelona he's facing match fitness after his poor world cup appearance, I think he has to work on his Body fitness, he's getting fat and lacking control on the ball. If Barcelona wants to sell him to altetico Madrid good for him.  He will has to prove that he's fit to play again in Altetico Madrid.
To be frank ,I no longer enough Deplay game, he has lost his pace and speed.  I hope he sign to altetico Madrid and help the club bounce back to winning ways. Altetico Madrid is still struggling in the league this season.

ten Hag seems quite eager to keep Harry Maguire in the team now. West Ham's recent loan offer has been rejected by Manchester United side.

I think they did the right thing by not sending him in this transfer window. Because in that case they will need to fill his place with another defender. It is quite difficult to sign a solid defender in the middle of the season. Maybe they were going to rush things in the last days of the transfer window and make a bad move. I'm not a fan of Maguire though. I still expect him to leave at some point but it shouldn't be right now.

As far as I know, Maguire didn't perform well since he joined Man United. So, why Ten Hag really wants to keep him on Man United squad? It seems a bit strange to me, Maguire isn't the key player for Man United and having him doesn't impact significantly. If Ten Hag wants good substituted defenders, he can look for new defenders who have a more potentil future than Maguire. I don't see any benefit to keeping Maguire, he is better to be loaned or sold to another team.

Well, you are right that probably Ten Hag doesn't have enough time to find a new defender to replace Maguire position. But if he already planned it a few months ago, he must target and may sign already new defenders before this January transfer season started. It is a bit late if Ten Hag just think to find new defenders now.

Guess what? Bayern Munich already make an agreement with Yann Sommer, the official announcement is expected will be announced on Thursday. Well Yann Sommer is really a good goalkeeper even he's playing for Borussia M'Gladbach which is one of weak team in German Bundesliga.

I think Bayern Munich's fans doesn't need to worry anymore since Sommer will replace Neuer, so Bayern Munich has a good chance to beat PSG in Champions League.

Bayern Munich must think about this, because they will be quite busy in several competitions in the future, especially since Manuel Neuer has been absent until the end of the season due to a broken leg injury. Yann Sommer was purchased as an option to replace and cover Manuel Neuer, as Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has explained on several social media previously. Yann Sommer is considered suitable to temporarily replace Neuer, because the goalkeeper also has good quality at Borussia Monchengladbach and the Swiss national team.

Yann Sommer needed a bit of adaptation to be in Julian Nagelsmann's squad, so he was able to play well and be able to provide positive results for Bayern Munche in the future, because if he failed then his career would be at stake.

Maguire doesn't seem to be more than just backup for Ten Haag, so he's only being kept at the club just for emergency purposes, I understand that Harry Maguire have been nothing but extremely awful at Man United, but he was and is a better player when representing the England national team, so he might turnout to be just a good defender that he used to be, if he should leave the club.

Ten Haag seemed to have found a better defensive partnership with pairing Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane at the centre back, but it is to be seen if that partnership is better off than one with Linsadro Martinez.

Depay's performance was going down with the goes of time. It has been happening since he was coming to Barcelona around 2020. So many expectations were coming for him but since Barcelona was changing its coach and then depay looks like a useless player in Barcelona.
He was rarely getting regular time to play in the main squad and the new coach like xavi abandoned him and then, he has no choice other than to move from Barcelona to another club to make sure he will still continue his career rather than wasting his time to stay in Barcelona.
He can't compete with Lewandowski and that's main reason why depay shall go to the new club rather than think to stay even longer in Barcelona.

I hope this report will become a reality, considering that actually I am very sorry to see Harry Maguire now because he is only sitting on the bench and that cannot be separated from his poor performance when he appeared in Manchester United's starting line-up. If West Ham United are interested in borrowing Harry Maguire, that's pretty good, at least he can get a main place in the West Ham squad later and can correct his mistakes at the start of the season.

I learned that Harry Maguire may move to West Ham obviously he is not worth Manchester United bought him. Despite this, he has the chances of still being a fit as good defender in some other teams. Since he moving to West Ham on loan, I think there may be like an option to buy him. However, I feel that until Manchester United gets a replacement for him, he is not going anywhere just yet.

Indeed, there is currently no replacement for Harry Maguire, as far as I can see, even when Lisandro Martinez is absent, sometimes Erik ten hag prefers to install Luke Shaw at center back and Tyrell Malacia will become left back. Even though there are other options such as Lindelof, it seems that Erik ten hag is doubtful about his performance, especially now that Manchester United are fighting in the top 4 of the standings, so he really avoids small problems that will interfere and have an impact on the performance of his players.

Harry Maguire is set to be sold by Man United in the summer. As long as Maguire goes and new center backs are brought in, Man United are on the right track. A number of clubs are interested, including West Ham. There is a report that West Ham is interested in loaning the €87m Man United defender. Can both parties benefit from this deal? However, I wish him the best of luck in his next chapter.

Maguire have fallen down the pecking order in Manchester United's defense due to his decline in form and concurrent mistakes. He’s become a master of memes and ridicule. Ten Hag should let Harry Maguire go, it will do the team a lot of good. Harry Maguire was kinda untouchable in the team but it seems Ten Hag got the balls to make it happen. Too bad for Harry I'm sure he will prefer a move than staying humiliated at Old Trafford. I wish him all the best if this deal goes through.

I had wondered why Maguire was chosen to captain the team. Perhaps he has some qualities of a captain I wasn’t aware of. While Maguire may have the ability or capacity to play good football, I don’t think his future career lies at Old Trafford. The last manager seemed intent on giving him a lot of playing time which actually didn’t turn out so well for both the player and the team in general.
Ten Hag on the other hand, had identified the weak link in the form of Maguire and has cut his playing time, trying out other options that is seemingly now working out well.

Manchester United could let Maguire go and wouldn’t feel a thing.

I don't think it's strange because this season they just throw money away in a hurry and this is not the first for Chelsea because previously Mudryk wasn't the same as they were spending money fast. Don't know what the obvious reasons are at this point but indeed they are always in a rush to spend money especially when Todd is in the Chelsea squad.
On the other hand I think as long as they are always like that for now with too much rush then indeed this will get worse for them.

Everything with Chelsea was working well until the section, So the major problem to Chelsea now really started from the sanctions on Russia due war which the sanctions later affected the Russian Oligarchs and former Chelsea owner Roman Ibramovic.

That sanction led him to sell Chelsea to the current owner Todd, which Todd later started making some changes with the Board members and later don't have good relationship and confidence in Thomas Tuchel with his then style of management that led to his sack. Since then Chelsea team hasn't gotten their form back.

I don't think things like that are important anymore because it has already happened and can't be changed anymore.
Todd has the authority now but the problem up to this point is he needed very hard for Todd to change this and his too hasty nature like some of the transfers now has made this backfire for real.
Everything needs a process but Todd wants to make it instant with money even though it can happen it still has a little impact and that is proven by their current situation.
They have burned their money a lot this season in transfers but it has had an ups and downs with their performance which can be said to be mediocre.

even before there was a war between russia and ukraine chelsea was already going through bad times because tuchel went to make a lot of changes in the team, for example he took lukaku and the same lukaku did not score goals and see that even with lukaku leaving chelsea for the inter he never went back to being the same good player, there are several chelsea players from tuchel times who left chelsea and did not go back to being the great players they were before joining chelsea

in my opinion this new chelsea coach is doing a good job, he made excellent signings that will bring good results next season, because it takes some time for the players to get used to a certain team and for the coach to create a strategy with the new players

Arsenal are back in the hunt for new signings for this season's transfer market and Leandro Trossard is a new target for Arsenal who will be brought in from Brighton. After failing to recruit Mudryk from Shakstar Donetsk, Mikel Arteta didn't seem to be silent and immediately looked for a replacement. Leandro Trossard is a good winger and with Arsenal's current style of play I think he will fit in well.

Harry Maguire still has the trust of Erik Ten Hag this season, this is supported by Manchester United's decision to reject West Ham United recent offer. Indeed, in several matches that have been played by Manchester United, Erik prefers to play Martinez because from what I see in their game, Martinez seems to be better than Maguire.

However, the important options are all in the hands of the player. If he feels that he has been eliminated from the core squad, he has the right to make a valid decision to stay or choose to leave in order to get more playing minutes. apart from west ham, Aston villa has also secretly raised their interest in Harry Maguire.

The problem is which team that in demand to sign him? I think that ten hag wanna see him go out of the club as soon as possible but the problem is there's no club that interested with him since he has become a very popular player with so many blunders that even made his team mates became frustrated with him. There's no choice other than to loan him to another club and once the club that takes him will be interested to make him permanent, ten hag may agree to let him go out from the club permanently.
Meguire was such a useless player in united right now. he has no choice but to play in the starting line up. Ten hag didn't trust him anymore.

I disagree with this narrative, yes Maguire has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United but it is nothing related to his form or mistakes because Maguire has had an excellent season so far including a good performance at the worldcup too. The only reason why maguire is struggling is because Ten Hag prefers to play a left footed player at the lcb role; which leaves maguire and lindelof as back up to Varane (who has surprisingly stayed fit all season).

Importantly, Maguire is not leaving anywhere on loan this season.

When you watch Trossard play, you will know that he is not a panic buy. It was a clearly thought out plan. He was part of a plan. He has everything the Arsenal recent buys have except age. He can dribble, can run, can shoot and has eye for goals. He plays with both feet and that’s a very good thing. He’s more experienced in the EPL and that alone is good for a team that wants to win the EPL title.

Maguire is still quite valuable for Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag even rejected West Ham United's offer to make a loan.
Maguire is still needed for a backup position in midfield. Maguire, who has made 15 appearances in all competitions this season, is now trying to get into the starting lineup.

The 29-year-old has played the full 90 minutes in just two of Man United's competitive games since the resumption of club football after the World Cup break.
Although Maguire has fallen down the Old Trafford pecking order, Ten Hag has decided to keep him as club captain.

Since joining Manchester United in August 2019, Maguire has provided 7 goals and 5 assists in 159 appearances and he is under contract until 2025 with an option for a further year.

I don’t understand why people are struggling to see that Maguire is not the defender he once used to be, and Ten Hag got it right by keeping him away from the playing 11. Furthermore I strongly feel that he should be sold off in the summer transfer window, because there’s no way that he’ll be playing constantly for Manchester United again but I feel that he may offer some value to other team’s hence he should leave once the summer transfer window opens.

Since Erik Ten Hag joined the team, Harry Maguire hasn't gotten much game time, and that is in line with the desire of many people, especially Manchester United supporters, to make himself sit on the bench. Harry Maguire is a good player, but at the time of his appearance with Manchester United he couldn't show that he is a good player who keeps making mistakes when he plays. The previous coach had always entrusted Manchester United's defense to him, but since the arrival of the new coach he has mostly sat on the bench, because the new duo created by Erik Ten Hag has played better.

When you watch this Trossard play, you will know say the guy is not a panic buy. It was a clearly thought out plan. He was part of a plan. He has everything the Arsenal recent buys have except age. He can dribble, can run, can shoot and has eye for goals. He plays with both feet and that’s a very good thing. He’s more experienced in the EPL and that alone is good for a team that wants to win the EPL title.

Rumor has it that Trossard already has an agreement in advance with the Gunners. according to some news media that I have read, Arsenal have opened talks with Brighton regarding a move for Leondro Trossard in the transfer window this January, as reported by football.london.

If we refer to his track record in the Premier League, at least he has scored 7 goals with Brighton. Trossard can also be an option to replace Nketiah, or vice versa. at least, if Arteta is serious about wanting a trophy this season. Automatically, he has to increase his ammunition this January.
To be honest, I don't really know how Trossard plays with Brigthon. however, if Arteta is serious about signing him this January. it seems, he is a player who is ideal enough to be brought to the Emirates Stadium.

Maguire is not as poor as you described above. He had a decline at a point but it wasn't only him. It was a team decline. Almost every player in the club  then lost their form. In the case of Maguire is that he lack pace and that was why Ten was finding it difficult to play Ronaldo because he believes in pressing football.
It is obvious that Maguire has lost his place in the team, he should find a new club to avoid further ridicules.
