⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rdluffy]

I had also read similar rumors about Jorge Jesus for a while. However, Brazilians have some strict unwritten rules about national team coaching. They want the coach to be a Brazilian. If I'm not mistaken, there are one or two non-Brazil coaches who coach the Brazilian national team. They have really strict rules about it.

Ramón Platero 1925
Joreca 1944
Filpo Núñez 1965

In fact, they are not so unfair in their attitude. Because they have so many football legends. It's normal for them to assign a mission to one of those legends.

I think Jorge Jesus is not an option anymore, brazilians from CBF put 4 coaches on top tier list (Zidane, Ancelotti, Luis Enrique and Mourinho), but not Jorge Jesus.
Flamengo fans love Jorge Jesus, but he's not the fist choice to other people.
People from Brazil think it's not necessary to bring a foreigner coach, there's some barrier.
I know you post about 3 foreigner coaches, but first one only did 4 matches, the second did 2 matches and third one only did a friendly match, so people from Brazil said the team was never managed by a foreigner 


Personally I think it's good to have a foreigner coach, specially one like these four, because it's hard to deal with brazilian players, Neymar in special, maybe they will respect a coach like Ancelotti.

From brazil, I don't know who's the favorite one right now but people are talking about: Dorival Jr, Cuca, Mano Menezes and Fernando Diniz, but again, there's no favorite and any choice will be contested by the brazilian fans.

There's some curiosity, this year brazil have a record of foreigner coaches in clubs.

Brilliant midfielder at this age, it's either he leaves for Real Madrid or  Manchester City, Jude Bellingham should make decision that would be suitable for him also for long term. I wouldn't advice a move to Liverpool. ( Not because I fan red devils though ).

Jude Bellingham should never be a Dortmund player. And he is supposed to reject the offer from Dortmund. He should understand that he's not going to get anything done in Dortmund. He should move and I believe he also realizes that very well. But Manchester United might also not be the best option as well. Real Madrid can be the best option.

Ziyech to Barcelona ? Since he played very well at Ajax, I'm pretty sure he can still cook good football at Barcelona, he should be used right behind those strikers. Kessie is physically sound, he'll adapt to the premier league real quick.

I personally do not think that Hakim Ziyech for Frank Kessie is not going to happen. This deal simply does not look realistic to me. But if Barcelona can actually get this deal done, it is going to be a very good deal for Barcelona in my opinion.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Will Retire from the world of football.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Will Retire from the world of football.

There have been new rumors about Ibrahimovic set to end his career in football this summer. The 41-year-old striker is still undergoing the recovery process after sustaining a knee injury and having to undergo surgery.

At first it was predicted that Ibrahimovic would play in early 2023, but then news emerged that he would hang up his boots this summer and would take the position of Ambassador at AC Milan.

The conditions are enough for him regardless of anything at the moment he is one of the best and he is doing his job well at Milan. Actually the retirement option has existed since the end of last season and he won Serie A but he forced one more season.
Even though he didn't have any matches due to his injury, his role as a keeper of motivation is still very good and it's time for him to go now.

It's like it's been a while I followed this page or thread. I was surprised when Trossard was introduced today from Arsenal. I was like what really happened to Brighton.
It was then I discovered that it's been a while I was here.

I was actually a little surprised by this because indeed from a few months ago Arsenal had actually tried to approach but several sources said that Trossard was not too interested in Arsenal but when they focused on looking for a striker there was news about this.
He has already made his first debut and even if he doesn't score he is good enough to play this time of course the first 3 points for him at Arsenal at the moment.

[cytpoway121]

Manchester united new guy Weghorst was honestly not in the Manchester United football mood to help the club. He is pushing me to make bad judgment of him

I think there is no reason to be disappointed or upset about the signing of Weghorst; he is simply fulfilling his role as a stop gap cheap striker due to the incessant injuries to Martial; and unavailability of top striker this window and the owners nonchallant attitudes when it comes to improving the team.

Let us analyse how some of the new transfers (loan and permanent transfer) in the EPL has been just from the few games they have played and how their future is looking.

For Arsenal, For the few touches that Trossard had in the game, he looks a great fit for us.

For Chelsea, Felix and Mudryk in their first games already proved that they are bringing something different to the club, they will do great.

For Manchester United, Wout Weghorst has been very disappointing, too slow for their counter attacks, Manchester United will still want another player.

For Liverpool, Gakpo has been disappointing too, looking like he will just be another player in Liverpool and will not be able to live up to the expectations they have of him just like Nunez this season.

Which other players have I missed?

Finally, we heard the news about Ibrahimovic retirement.  
He is already 41 years old, it is the right time for him to retire as a player. He is better to focus on a new career as a coach, he can start a new career by being an assistant of AC Milan coach.

Yep, he already often got injured, it is not a good sign for a player. This indicated that he is no longer in good physical strength to stay playing as a professional player. It is the right decision to retire soon.

I am sorry if this sounds a little bit harsh, but Marco Reus can't provide anything to United at age 33. He was a good player back in the day there is no doubt about that, but United already has a good roster right now, and the only position they need is a striker.

If they could get a superstar there, then they do not need any more players at all, from the other 10 players on the field to even bench players, they are all perfect and should be fighting for a title if they keep this up, I mean if they started the season better, they would have been fighting against Arsenal right now, that bad start caused them to be not fighting for a title, so a striker and they could be fighting for a title next year for sure.

I have not seen the news where they said Man United is interested in Marco Rues. If its true, then questions need to be asked about United recruitment policy. Aside the fact that Rues is 33, he's also injury prone. As a younger player he was always getting injured, talk more of now that he's 33.

United need a striker quite alright, but saying that's the only position that needs filling would be incorrect. They need a creative midfielder. Bruno is not creative neither is he a play maker. They need a CM that is both a playmaker and is also creative. That aside, Antony is not a player you can rely on as a winger so they should better be hunting for a better right  winger.

<snip>

Note, there is a particular manager who will come in to handle Chelsea players in there right now and you will be shocked to see how good this players will be playing

It’s not all about signing new players, if you ask me I will suggest taking Thomas Tuchel back because he has proven himself to be one of the best coaches that have coached Chelsea in recent seasons. I'm saying so because Tuchel understood the team, the league and his tactics proved to be productive. I still think he is a good candidate for the managerial job for Chelsea.

Chelsea is not a club owned by a community or group of persons. Chelsea is a personal business and as such can always take a decisions at anytime. It wouldn't have been so easy to sack Tuchel after such effort and sacrifice he paid just to see Chelsea in the level it was. Abramovich impatient management couldn't give Tuchel the slightest chance to make adjustment and chose a better strategy that suits the season. I quest right now it's too late to seek the return of Thomas tuchel, let's just pray Porter turn things round.

Congratulations legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Sometimes he talks alot but does what he says
The big man will be missed scoring beautiful acrobatics across Europe, the back to back injuries are much, he must have been adviced by the doctors to end his career.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Will Retire from the world of football.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic have come a long way in football, at 41 years old he has achieved so much and going into retirement he has built a legacy that will live forever. Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic have impacted positively in the world of football and will surely be missed. I cannot forget the joy and entertainment enjoyed in his prime as a young footballer.

I am sorry if this sounds a little bit harsh, but Marco Reus can't provide anything to United at age 33. He was a good player back in the day there is no doubt about that, but United already has a good roster right now, and the only position they need is a striker.

Marco Reus will be a crazy choice for Manchester United to make. At his age, his only contribution to the team is experience. Ten Hag’s target should be young and vibrant players who can add value to the team. Right now Manchester United are in need of a good striker, Weghorst cannot take up that position as the kind of striker for United.

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic is about to end his career in the world of football, at least he already has a lot of experience and a lot of results to open a new business with the capital he had when he was still one of the world's best players with very high fees, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has several places and facilities sports and other businesses that will still bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic a lot of money. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will still love football but at an old age he has to reduce his contribution on the field.

Reportedly Ivan Fresneda, Real Valladolid wonderkid has started to enter the list of names of players targeted by Arsenal. This player is only 18 years old and starting to gain the trust to play in Real Valladolid's main squad, since then he has been able to attract interest from several clubs including Arsenal. Not only Arsenal but even Liverpool had already taken an interest in this young player. Arsenal need a stock of right-backs to back up their main players. And their effort I think is good because it prioritizes young players, it's good because young players like this can be a future asset for a club.

Tottenham is also rumored to be interested in Ivan Fresneda. young people with great potential for big European careers. but indeed what is very strong at this time is that Arsenal is serious about recruiting him.
besides Arsenal this season performing well, I'm sure that if the deal goes through, Ivan Fresneda will consider playing in one of the clubs that are candidates for the Trophy.
but for his long career, of course, Ivan Fresneda also has to think about a regular place in the main squad.

Amongst the many names that’s been mentioned and linked with Arsenal in this transfer window, Ivan Fresneda, a young player from Valladolid is one that has been frequently mentioned lately. I also hear Tottenham are also interested in the player but I think considering the fact that Arsenal are in fine form and currently have a better chance at qualifying for Champions league next season I think Ivan Fresneda's choice will be influenced by this and he will pick Arsenal to Tottenham.

After this season, Tottenham Hotspur will part ways with Antonio Conte! He is nearing the end of his contract, but the Spurs have not talked to him about a new contract. This isn't a surprise, rather I expected it. However, he still has the option of signing a new contract. Conte may not stay, but who will replace him? The team's form does not improve when new managers are brought in every other season. It's not just about the coach. It is also important for them to look beyond that because a new manager will face the same challenges and make the same promises.

I totally agree with you, the tenure of Antonio Conte is threatened and he could be up for sack sooner than later and it won't come as a surprise because with the level at which the team is performing, it is normal for the club to want to seek better coaching services to give positive results. The question now is who will replace Conte if he leaves. Many people are already suggesting Thomas Tuchel to take over as Spurs manager, we shall find out what decisions Tottenham will take in coning weeks.

For Liverpool, Gakpo has been disappointing too, looking like he will just be another player in Liverpool and will not be able to live up to the expectations they have of him just like Nunez this season.

In the previous match I was left behind to see Mudryk's debut because I didn't see Chelsea play against Liverpool but for Gakpo it seems a bit difficult.
As for Weghorst he is quite tall but seeing from the 2 matches he has played he has lost more duels which makes this a bit funny. On the other hand, with Weghorst, it actually made Manchester United slower when counterattacking, I think.
We know at Manchester United they have a pretty quick wing there and when looking at the counter-attacks when they played Crystal Palace he struggled to keep up with Rashford's pace.
For Joao at Chelsea a red card on his debut was definitely a blow and of course it's a credit point minus in my opinion.

[Velvet78]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has had an amazing career and I wasn't even expecting him to play until this age. He is doing a good thing by retiring from football actually because after a point strikers start to get unproductive. He was still a good leader for Milan but it looks like it is time he is ending this journey. Maybe we could still see him having a role at Milan but we will see.

I see Zlatan among the best strikers ever. He has many unforgettable goals in his career and the well-known goal he scored with the Sweden jersey is definitely the best one.

It is also important for them to look beyond that because a new manager will face the same challenges and make the same promises.

looking at tottenham i would say that the problem lies with the coach who did not know how to make good signings that could have improved the team's defense, tottenham has good players there is no reason for them to remain a mediocre team that cannot reach the second position , we can see the case of newcastle for example, they managed to buy good players but they are only winning games and they are in a good position because they have a good coach, there are rich teams like chelsea that are worse off, so that shows that one team is not enough have a lot of money, you also need to have a good coach

Brazil has had a bad national team football experience in recent times and coach Tite took the right decision when he resigned. There is speculation that Jose Mourinho is also interested in the coaching job. A former Porto player Carlos Alberto stated that the "Special One" has contacted him to become his assistant in Brazil.

Also, the well-connected Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario has offered to search for a suitable coach for the Seleção Canarinho.
The former Spain coach Luis Enrique Martinez currently has a better chance of clinching this top job. But there are also speculations that he is currently targeting club coaching.

I think the Brazilian national team has nit be living up to expectations in recent years. I have always known Brazil to play very fine and entertaining football but that has changed, now they struggle to make it to the finals of the world cup. The search for a new coach after Tite's resignation should be to improve the team and restore back the glory days and shouldn't be an exercise of politics.

It is good to see De Gea staying for Manchester United. Because there is no meaning in leaving his team at this point.

It looks like Manchester United are also aware of how important he is for the team now. He is still making very important saves for the team and making a big impact on their matches. They don't need to find a new goalkeeper yet. De Gea is still young for a goalkeeper actually. He can play at least a few more years and continue to perform like this. This performance level deserves the starting eleven undoubtedly.

De Gea continues to show his loyalty and commitment to the club. I have known De Gea as a Manchester United goalkeeper for as long as I can remember and up till now he still has so much passion for the club and wants to continue saving the team from conceding goals in their matches.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

England midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to reject a new contract offer from Borussia Dortmund, with Manchester City feeling they are leading the chase to sign the 19-year-old. Real also want this player and see him as a perfect replacement for Modric. What will Bellingham decide in the end, England or Spain?
Chelsea would also be willing to swap Morocco winger Hakim Ziyech, 29, for Barcelona's Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie, 26. Interesting deal, but how realistic is it that it actually happens?
Manchester United and Spain goalkeeper David de Gea, 32, is willing to take a pay cut if it secures his long-term future at Old Trafford. It seems to me that this would be a perfect deal for both parties.
Manchester United have been offered Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, while Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been made aware about the 22-year-old Serbia international's availability. Many clubs want Vlahović. How will this football saga end?
Former Spain boss Luis Enrique, 52, is one of the options being considered to take over over as the new manager of the Brazil national team. How realistic is it that the Brazilians will hire a foreigner as a coach?
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says 20-year-old France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who has been linked with Arsenal, will not be allowed to leave the Spanish club as "he's untouchable". So everything is finally clear about Camaving. Or maybe not after all?

Jude Bellingham have been linked to Manchester City for quite some time yet no official bids have been made by Manchester City to Dortmund in regards to their interest in signing Bellingham. We have just few days before the transfer window closes, we shall see the end of this speculations.

Yes, it is going to be better for de Gea if he stays with Manchester United. At this point, it is going to be bad for him, if he does decide to go to another club. I'm sure that it will be hard for him to find his place in a new club. But in Manchester United, if he can improve a little bit he will be a regular goalkeeper for sure.

Luis Enrique seems to be the best bet for Brazil right now. You know, the other big names are either already managing another team or not available at this moment. So, I do not see any other coaches being better right now compared to Luis Enrique.
