⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

with Chelsea spending so much, and when they haven't had a great run of results this season. Of course, it's not just an evaluation, maybe the Chelsea owners have to act quickly to save their club.
it's not just about achievements and good team play. this is also part of the business. and without achievement, the business they run could be bad.

If you look at the history of Chelsea's transfers, you will see that they have always spent very large amounts, I recently read an article that their spending over the past two years has approached half a billion. So they always spent a lot, it's not because Potter came, it's just because the Chelsea management has a lot of money and can afford it. Only now the results do not correspond to these expenses, being in the middle of the standings is not what they expected.

[$crypto$]

They looked panicked. So they buy players at a very high price in my opinion. Perhaps this is Potter's request, because indeed he is the coach chosen by the new owner of chelsea. Although I fondly remember him not having had any major achievements coaching the club.
So with the current state of the players they should be able to improve and get into the top five at the end of the Season. If this does not happen, Potter should be evaluated.

Chelsea's total spending is quite a lot and it is clear that Chelsea wants to return to a better team. I can't believe that the money spent is not in line with expectations, but right now Graham Potter must be able to make more solid efforts for the new players who are brought in so they can play more impressive with his new team adapting faster and bringing Chelsea to a better ranking.

Indeed, he should be able to enter a proper standings until the end of the season, although this is not an easy task I think Graham Potter's challenge here, can he bring Chelsea to the top again in the sense of being in the top 5 or top 4?

I want to see how Mudryk and Felix work together and in midfield with Enzo Fernandes.

It looks like they have too much money. Hakim Ziyech don't join Paris Saint-German because Chelsea sent the wrong documents...three times. SG failed to register Ziyech at the French league association LFP. The correct documents were sent after the official transfer deadline and Ziyech was rejected as a new PSG player. So when there is so much money involved, they don't make mistakes like that.

The club is passing through hard times presently but with the arrivals of new players, they will start winning games with multiple goals. Graham Potter will be familiar with his new players and pick the best player at his peak. Chelsea are mapping out tight position to strengthen this season with Todd boehly making good chances of every little opportunity he has in the transfer market. The blues flex their muscles on the last day of the transfer market with signing Enzo Fernandez and other players on their rader.

Thomas partey has been  part of the team, and there's no way jorginho Will replace him immediately, I think Arteta has a lot of decision to make in the team starting up.

Jorginho was brought in to help ease the workload off Thomas Partey in the Midfield. The number of times that Sambi Lokonga has been tried, he has proved not yet worthy to share the load with Partey which Elneny was doing. With Jorginho we now have an experienced midfielder that can be depended on in the case that Partey cannot play, or he is removed from a game, or a game where we need our midfield to be solid, the coach can play both of them as said already. My biggest hope however for him is that he adapts well to the club.

We have really spent less this Transfer season, but made good signings in some key positions. We got Trossard for 21million Euros, Kiwior for 17million euros and Jorginho for just 12million Euros, just a total of 50million Euros. We have done good business again.

I won’t lie, I wasn’t expecting him to sign for Arsenal, it’s better to sign someone than bringing no one, Jorginho is an experienced, proven player who’s going to bring something in the dressing room and on pitch. He is an addiction to the team and not necessarily Partey’s replacement. Arteta has always lauded the importance of getting another midfielder before the window closes because Mo Elneny is out injured while Sambi Lokonga hasn’t been performing really well in that role. Arsenal need some experienced legs to sail through the remaining part of the season.

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal signing jorginho can as a surprise to me , but the coach Arteta knows what's he want,  Youri Tieleman would have been a better signing than Jorginho because of what he brings to the team defensively, arsenal are leaving no area of the squad unattended to as they are improving every aspect of the squad with quality additions, Jorginho will try and settle things in midfield in the coming games.

Arteta wants to have a quick replacement for Thomas Partey in the defensive midfield position because Partey needs a substitute, which is the main Arsenal problem because Sambi Lokonga has been loaned out and Elenny, who is supposed to be his replacement, is also injured, so the signing of Jorginho will help because Partey will be able to rest in some games.

He becomes a worthy replacement, especially with the ability and experience he has, this is clearly very profitable for Arsenal. On the age side, he can still be counted on because regardless of anything, 31 years old is still very capable of competing.
They did lose a few players in recovery and this is a very good addition of course for Arsenal.

Now we just have to wait to see if Arsenal will sign another player as the rumors of an upcoming midfielder for Arsenal still exist at the moment for the nearest.

I understand that Jorginho is the wrong side of 30 and cannot replicate Thomas Partey’s role. But with Mohamed Elneny facing an extended injury layoff, and Sambi going to Crystal palace, Arsenal remain short in holding midfield. It’s not really a replacement for Thomas Partey, but bringing in another midfielder to thicken the depth. Honestly, it’s a good signing, €12M for a proven EPL player that brings in depth and experience to this squad isn't too bad. And it's only a short term fix as the contract also suggests.

Arteta is building a title contender team, with the jorginho arrival to the team is a boost to the team.Arsenal is playing impressive game and a team to  beat, Thomas partey will partner with jorginho in the midfield, Arteta can adopt two defensive midfielders using Thomas partey and jorginho.
Thomas partey has been  part of the team, and there's no way jorginho Will replace him immediately, I think Arteta has a lot of decision to make in the team starting up.

Jorginho was signed by Arsenal to add depth to their midfield and bring his wealth of experience to the team infact he has a bit better records than Moises Caicedo though older than him and far better than Elneny who is out till April, however Arsenal will play Europa matches thus Jorginho will have opportunity of playing those matches while Arteta rest either Thomas Partey or Xhaka for the league, I think this is best short term option for Arsenal till summer transfer window, the race for the title is hot and Arsenal wouldn't afford to lose this golden opportunity of winning it this season.

James Maddison seems to be a target for Manchester City according to rumours. But not for the winter of course. They are reported to be planning a move in the summer.

Leicester are already likely to lose many of their significant players in the near future. This horrible season must have made those players really disappointed. They can't waste their career there in the end while there are better options. Maddison would more likely be a substitute player at Manchester City though. But it all depends on how he will perform when he has the chance. Maybe he can be a permanent member of the starting eleven later.

[sokani]

This is quick decision from Ten Hag because before Eriksen got injured Manchester United has decide to stopped buy more players this winter but everything was change after Ten Hag seeing Eriksen recent condition which is probably he will be absense until May early

And i have to say Marcel Sabitzer performance during with Bayern was not so impressive even this season he has 15 times to play with only a single goal and he has lost to compete with other players on midfielder position and my question is could he will be able to takeover Eriksen position and performing well because i fear this is only panic buying because Manchester United have no more time to find another players because of deadline winter transfer will be happened today

Christian Erickson's injury is a blow to Manchester United as he has settled in very well in the squad and has contributed about 3 goals and 10 assist so far in all competitions this season. Marcel Sabitzer will not have an automatic shirt but will have to fight for his place in the squad just as every other United midfield players. ETH during a press meeting has urged Fred to step up and fill the void left by Erickson which I still think is a mind game.

Yes I agree with you. On the other hand, Arteta is really Wenger's true successor, doesn't want to buy expensive players. Buy cheap players as needed, don't want price wars, Jorginho's transfer is really cool. He is a top player, a genius in the middle, cheap, good at penalties and experience.

But it all depends on how he will perform when he has the chance. Maybe he can be a permanent member of the starting eleven later.

would be a terrible signing for Manchester City. Maddison is a good player but he is similar to Jack Grealish that he will cost a lot of money to sign and he is not good enough to start for Manchester City. Instead he will warm the bench on big wages and end his career. Arsenal is going for Youri Tielemans and I worry that Manchester City will swoop in instead because he could start for them and would not demand as many wages as Maddison.

So when there is so much money involved, they don't make mistakes like that.

The owner of Chelsea seems to be building the team for next season. He is accumulating good players for next season because I am sure that it will be difficult for these players  to blend with each other and with the team this same season.
I don't know whether to say that Ziyech transfer mistakes were deliberate or what. It could be what you said that they have big money.

Even though there was an agreement between the two clubs, it failed to materialize because Chelsea was late in sending back the requirements for player registration needs so that they could also be validated before the deadline for the transfer window ended.

So the move ended in failure and there might be a factor The Blues turned their attention to racing against time to further complete the transfer of Enzo which seemed to be his priority which ultimately led to an official deal.

I don't know whether to say that Ziyech transfer mistakes were deliberate or what. It could be what you said that they have big money.

I do not think it was deliberate. this are the simple issues with deadline transfer night where everything happens so fast and in a rush. The Chelsea team sent wrong documents to psg 3 seperate times; it must have been an error considering they were to complete enzo deal before deadline elapses. I also think its PSG fault, Ziyech was up for grabs for over 6 months now and nthey got so late to make a decision

Good chance for Ziyech to remain in the squad; and he might get his summer dream move

[LUCKMCFLY]

There are reports that Arsenal are near a deal to sign 22-year-old Polish central defender Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. I think he’s the left-footed Center back Arteta was looking for. Never heard of him, but then again, Tomiyasu was an unknown at the time too. They’re spending wisely. Kiwior is a very good signing, a tall lad with great composure on the ball, very calm and a very good passer of the ball as well. Arsenal knows that they need squad depth as they enter the critical stage of the season.

I have never heard of this player either, but considering that Mikel Arteta has always liked to hunt young players for Arsenal, I have no doubts about his capacity to buy players. Jakub Kiwior is a central defender, maybe he will be a good coating for the arsenal squad in the hunt for the regular competition title or even the European league which will soon start in February. In my opinion, the player's price is still reasonable at 30 million euros according to Fabrizio Romano's report.

At this moment it’s obvious that Edu and Arteta are gunning for versatile players and from the short clips I’ve seen already about Kiwior, I’m excited about the deal. Gabriel will have a good competition now going forward and be able to rest for some games. They’re preparing for the series of competitions they’ll participate in next season and at the same time, getting players with the right age and the right mentality. 

Well yes, what happens is that Gabriel Jesúis is an essential player, and at the same time I think that the team needs another way of seeing things, until now I like how they have been playing, if they are in full view of other players, I think it's fine, for now these games that Gabriel Jesus won't be in need someone who has the same level of effectiveness, the team cannot be neglected in front, although we see that the team has an excellent midfield, they cannot be trusted, they always do It lacks a striker who is daring and who can give better results, and that is the reason why Gabriel Jesus must recover quickly.

Liverpool are thinking possibilities to gets N'Golo Kanté from Chelsea and his status will be free transfer this summer because possibly Kante will not gets contract extension and if Chelsea gets Enzo Fernandez from Benfica i think there is no reason for him to stayed at Chelsea and Liverpool indeed currently lack of midfielder but i don't know Kante will be the right solution for Liverpool or not because he was often to gets injured and indeed Kante used to is great midfielder but with his injured history some people are very doubt Kante will performing well again and i wish Klopp will considering this factor before bought him this summer

I think that the question can't be answered. I meant chelsea also wants to give him a new contract. AFAIK, it's not only Liverpool. Real madrid has been reportedly interested in kante too. Kante is such a great player for Chelsea. Kante has been getting so many trophies since he was coming to Chelsea. I think that kante is very close to fully recovering from his injury. I hope that Chelsea will give him a new contract since he was very important to the club. Kante is as good as reece james.

Well, personally I think that Chelsea right now should not leave any player, they have been buying very good players, and for things in life they have not had good results, sometimes things are like that, so I think that for now they should leave these players and form their strategies well to be able to do things better, they already have the material, now what remains is that they can direct them well, and there it is something that they must exploit within their club, and take advantage of the advantages that They are giving the club to be able to do things better, however we have to see many things, how to quickly adapt new players to a style of play and sometimes that can get complicated.

Chelsea still ‘in Lisbon’ for ‘definitive meeting’ to conclude Enzo Fernandez deal

t’s the question on everyone’s lips, but the saga has become very frustrating and annoying now in my view, and the reports have been constantly up and down and contrasting.

We have reached the end of the transfer window now and we are racing towards the end of deadline day. If Chelsea want this one done then they are going to have to pull out all the tricks now in current negotiations with Benfica, that are reportedly happening right now.

Chelsea are still in Lisbon as they look to try and complete the Enzo deal, and it has been described as a decisive meeting this afternoon.

But let's be honest, those who took advantage of the transfer windows the most were at Chelsea, the Ziyech thing was something they missed, however I don't think this will delay the team, whether they are preparing for the next season or not, they should take advantage of these players quickly, because they were not free, so don't give up for now, the numbers don't matter, something we have always seen is that anything is possible in football, and as I have said, I think that many of us learned the lesson in the World Cup in Qatar, where very unexpected and very unusual results occurred.

Milan and Roma hope Besiktas don’t do Ziyech deal with Chelsea

PSG are furious at Chelsea for reportedly ruining the Hakim Ziyech loan move with the wrong paperwork, but Milan and Roma now have to hope that a deal is not clinched with Besiktas before the summer.

Ziyech has long been linked with a move to Serie A, with Milan and Roma eager to take him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

They were never able to agree terms and instead Paris Saint-Germain appeared to swoop in the final 48 hours of the January window on a dry loan for six months.

However, the move collapsed when PSG blamed Chelsea for sending the wrong paperwork three times, therefore forcing them to miss the transfer deadline.

What a mess with the Chelsea administration for delivering the papers too late. Of course you can also be difficult about everything. But it's still messy. I don't understand PSG's anger. They are not at all dependent on Ziyech, especially for the player himself it seems very annoying to me because he is almost always on the bench at Chelsea. At PSG too, but they have a little more potential to compete for the big prizes than at Chelsea. And salary would also be a lot higher in France. It's a pity for Ziyech. Unfortunately, the transfer from Amrabat to Barcelona was also canceled at the last minute for him.

Honestly I have imagined him with Partey and Zinchenko controlling the ball in the middle of the pitch, I guarantee it would be the safest place in the world. But it’s not feasible because Arsenal do not play with two holding midfielders. Jorginho is a cover for Thomas Partey and is much better than Sambi Lokonga. He starts on the bench for as long as Partey is fit. Besides they’re still in the Europa league, so he will definitely get more minutes there while Thomas Partey rests.

[Zaguru12]

would be a terrible signing for Manchester City. Maddison is a good player but he is similar to Jack Grealish that he will cost a lot of money to sign and he is not good enough to start for Manchester City. Instead he will warm the bench on big wages and end his career. Arsenal is going for Youri Tielemans and I worry that Manchester City will swoop in instead because he could start for them and would not demand as many wages as Maddison.

If we compare the wages of Tielemans and Maddison, the later is more expensive on two grounds because he is English and also younger than Tielemans. But if we look at quality both of them possess it. Even if City gets Maddison he would be a great acquisition because he is a proper attacking midfielder and with only Debruyne there out to out Attacking Midfielder and he needs rest. Moreover Maddison is younger and can be a better back up to Debruyne.

I do not think it was deliberate. this are the simple issues with deadline transfer night where everything happens so fast and in a rush.

Good chance for Ziyech to remain in the squad; and he might get his summer dream move

It might not be deliberate but submitting a wrong document three times seems like a careless attitude and also a disrespect to both Ziyech and PSG. Now the player has to come back to without any hope of seeing more minutes and this can dampen his career

[naira]

He starts on the bench for as long as Partey is fit. Besides they’re still in the Europa league, so he will definitely get more minutes there while Thomas Partey rests.

I think precisely with Jorginho's presence at the moment it is to serve as a cover for Partey especially with the current conditions it seems that this season Partey has not gone too smoothly in his career considering he is very prone to injury.
Currently he has to return to recovery after playing against City before. luckily said this wasn't too bad.
With Partey's condition like this, Jorginho's arrival is definitely something good for Arsenal's midfield and he can be a good booster in the midst of accompanying Odegaard and Xhaka.

[herurist]

I don't know whether to say that Ziyech transfer mistakes were deliberate or what. It could be what you said that they have big money.

It's very funny when something like this is unintentional, considering that they sent the wrong document, not just 1 time, but some reports said that 3 times they sent the wrong document. They are professionals and can't get it wrong 3 times in a row.
This is clearly a bit detrimental and even said that Ziyech was already in Paris to undergo medical tests there.

[Asiska02]

Thomas partey has been  part of the team, and there's no way jorginho Will replace him immediately, I think Arteta has a lot of decision to make in the team starting up.

Jorginho's arrival does not pose a threat to Thomas Partey's position; rather, the duo will form a strong midfield. Arsenal is indeed building a title-winning team, and I believe they will do so this season. Jorginho is extremely fortunate to have joined Arsenal, who are currently in first place, from a team that is currently in tenth place. I believe Arsenal now has the best team to win the league this season without much difficulty.
