⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[makishart]

I don't know if Chelsea are going to get themselves into FFP problems because of the amount of money they have spent, both in last summer's transfer window and the just concluded January winter transfer window. Anyway i'm pretty sure the club knows what they are doing and they ought to know how to circumvent all that.

Having said that, Graham Potter is one of the few managers in the world right now that's spoilt for choice on players to select per game, it is a good thing to have, but it can also come with problems of too much rotation and struggles of keeping big players happy; there'd also be a huge amount of pressure on the manager to deliver, Potter has to ensure Chelsea finish in the top four, and then he has to win titles next season, or else he'll prolly be fired.

I don't think Chelsea will have FFP problems because in some of the news I've read, Chelsea has specified a gradual payment option in buying players in this case to prevent them from FFP violations.

Yes, Graham Potter has become the most pampered coach in this year's transfer window. Of course, there will be pressure for his task of bringing titles to Chelsea. if he failed then the consequences would be huge for his future.

Management has been thinking about that. Chelsea will not do that more than 600 milion buy if the team will be prevented by FFP. The problem is chelsea must have sold so many players that are still available in the club.
Chelsea must have paid so many players that will not be played and always sitting on the bench. It's such a disgrace for chelsea caused by the team was making mistake in sending document for ziyech for moving to the PSG.
that being said ziyech must be going back again to the chelsea. that's very sad for him.

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.

James Maddison will be a good addition to Manchester City. Maddison has proven to be a valuable player in Leicester City for a number of years which has attracted Guardiola to want to add him to his team. It is rumored that Madison has been wanting to leave Leicester for some time now, previously linked with Arsenal and now linked to Manchester City. There is a possibility Leicester may get relegated, most of their top players including Maddison would like to leave the club and remain in the premier league next season.

Yes, usually big clubs take chances from clubs that are having very difficult seasons and look at players who have great potential. Manchester City are starting to make a move, even though it's not happening right now but the possibility of it happening in the next transfer market is huge. Especially when talking about Manchester City, they are always serious in pursuing the players they want. I also see that Maddison is one of the mainstay players at his current club, so it's not surprising that a club as big as Manchester City are interested in signing this one player.

I’m surprised no one is talking about this news. For me, it’s the biggest news this week, the 21 year old English player has been cleared of all charges. What’s the fate of Greenwood’s future in Manchester United and football? Will Manchester United finally terminate his contract or will we see him wearing the reds once again

I think he will be given a chance again but it would take some time before he gets on the field again. Also it will be tough given United had already gone with Antony so it will be hard to compete with him for the starting again. Honestly I would love to see him play for United again but United might try to avoid attention for now so that things settles down and his come back to the field is smooth.

When the charges were on him his contract wasn't terminated, is it now that it seems he is vindicated that his contract will be terminated?
If he is truly free and ready to rejoin the club it will be an added advantage to ETH because his wing would be strengthened and maybe some unperforming players will transfer

I think there's not much to do with regards to Manchester United, the Greenwood charges were dropped by the police due to couple of reasons, Not enough evidences, and witnesses have refused to follow up on the case (probably because both guys are still dating). Also both parents wanted their kids out of the timeline and decided to settle the grievances between both lovers who have been together since age 6.

There are lots of moral police now on social media, and mufc will need to handle the situation on legal terms only. As a football; Greenwood obviously has been training for the apst 2 years; and would only need few weeks to get up to match fitness.

Whatever happens, i think greenwood and Harriet do not care lol (they have silently continued their relationship and followed back one another on social media). And also mufc have added greenwood back to the website after retaining his jersey number 11 over the few months.

He will be like a new signing for Ten Hag

[Pokapoka124]

I have been vote with this discussing about ''Will Ten Hag be the guy to bring the glory days back to United?", based on current standing awhile I think Erik Tan Hag have been success manager for Manchester United because bring back to top fourth standing, qualify to playoff round in UEFA Europe League, The Red Devils still exist in FA Cup on 4th round until first achievement with final stage in EFL Cup.

I think Erik Tan Hag will give first tittle for Manchester United fans trough EFL Cup against Newcastle United in final stage, still left many competition and Manchester United under Erik Tan Hag era has potential get many trophies left in this season.

I can't say if he is the man to bring back the glory days for Manchester United, it’s too early to call it but surely he has been impressive this season and I will give him credit for how well he has improved the team. I also think that since Ferguson, Ten Hag is the only manager that understands the players better and has shown how good he is tactically so I believe with the right players he can do better for Manchester United.

Real Madrid are very determined about signing Jude Bellingham in the summer. They are planning to make him their top target as well.

It looks like they will be in a race with Liverpool to sign him this summer. Bellingham's father is eager to see his son playing for Liverpool but Bellingham hasn't looked like he is sharing the same opinion. He is more likely to sign for Real Madrid for now. Maybe after the end of this season he might change his mind as well. But it doesn't feel like it would happen. Because Liverpool are having really difficult days. If they don't fight for the Champions League title at least then their job would be more difficult to convince him.

It looks like Manchester United will end his contract with Mason Greenwood, considering what he has done to make the big name of the Red Devils tarnished a little in the eyes of the world. Even though he returns to the Manchester United squad he won't get the main place because with his current players Erik ten Hag is able to give a very good performance.

[KTChampions]

Leao has a contract until the summer of 2024, so even if Milan falls out of the top 4, he will play in Milan for another year even without the Champions League (and of course, if some club does not pay compensation for him). Now Milan is trying to convince him to sign a contract until 2026, but the reality is that since they are interested in the player, they will either have to raise his salary or even add a signing bonus.

Milan will not risk keeping him this summer if he refuses to sign a new deal. Getting two numbers between € and m is always better than 0.
I agree that Milan this season is not that interesting as the previous one and this tendency is seen in every Italian club from years. After Juve dominance, no team was able to maintain the first position more than a single year.

It depends how you look at the problem  What is the best number of qualified strikers - 1 or 0? Or do you think that if Leao is sold a year before the end of the contract, then it will be easy to buy a worthy replacement for the amount received? In fact, Milan is facing a challenge where there is no perfect solution, all options have both pluses and minuses, but I think that they will try to keep him.

It is a very interesting incident. According to news, people who were accusing him suddenly decided to recuse. I still doubt he is really not guilty after all those charges first.

If I were in Manchester United's place I would still wait for some time to make sure about the truth. Because those were really serious charges and it was like this nearly ended his professional football career. If they decide to call him to the squad quickly then I'm sure people will criticize the team a lot. They had better wait for a proof to act about him. Normally Greenwood is a really skilled player and the team would like to see him back in the team of course. But let's see how this ends.

[Pokapoka124]

Graham Potter is in a position to make the transfers he wants and right now he should think about who he will bring to the team and take that step.  The choice available to Potter is incredible.  There are situations such as the ability to spend unlimited.  After spending so much money, the main goal should be to get into the top 4 in the league and build a squad that can be champion for UCL next year.

So what happened to financial fairplay? I thought that it was introduced a few years ago to prevent that a club, that is owned by a sheikh, an oligarch or by other super rich people, can just buy every good player out there. Seems like financial fairplay is already dead again, what a shame. Also i want to  add that, just because you have a lot of money to spend, does not automatically guarantee success. How many Champions League trophies has Paris Saint Germain won since it is owned by that sheikh and since they have spent hundreds of millions of € for new players? None at all. So just because Chelsea has now spent a lot of money does not make them stronger.
Also just because they have spent 130 M€ for Enzo Fernandez does not mean that he is performing like a 130 M€ player. His market value is 55M€. It's Chelseas fault alone, that they have spent way to much for him.

I believe there are certain rules which sum up as the fair play rules and if any is been defaulted then Chelsea will have to answer for them and if not then they just executed the perfect transfer window, you are also right that PSG have not won the Champions league they have been chasing even with the much spendings they have made in recent years but Chelsea could be different with the right manager. I just hope these players don't turn out to flop or overhyped.

[Captain Corporate]

I think Chelsea had a special clause regarding financial fair play because they have been just bought by someone else, which causes a bit of different calculation. I have seen in it the sun newspaper, but it was way way earlier, like on early days of the ownership, regarding how much they could spend. They could be still above that, I do not remember how much it was, but it said because of that move, they were capable of spending more than they normally could if their old owner stayed, that's the difference. At the end of the day they spent way too much and still got no results for it, which is why I doubt its really a problem for anyone, if they got a title out of it or something then people would maybe look for it, but since they suck, nobody cares really

You are right. I also think Bellingham has a very small chance to move to Liverpool. If there is an interesting offer from a big club like Real Madrid that always plays in UCL competition, it is surely a better option to choose by Bellingham. Every professional player must dream to play in UCL, and must prefer to choose the team that possibly wins the league title. While Liverpool is no longer a strong team as a few years ago, they only struggle in the top 10 now. And the worse thing is that they seem no longer play in UCL in the next season. So, no reason that Bellingham to move to Liverpool with the current situation of this team, Real Madrid should be his next destination if he wants to leave his current club.

I remember reading the news and how heartbroken I was from all the insults he received from those who may have done worse. They carried out social media trial, damaged his reputation, and assassinated his image. Now that the did has been done and the charges dropped and he has been acquitted, I ask what is his fate?How will he get himself together to function in the team. Obviously, they are already performing well in his absence. Maybe he would just warm the bench just he is sold out.

At this time, even though he has been declared innocent and has been cleared of the case that happened to him, I still think it will be difficult for Greenwood or Manchester United to bring him back.
Looking at the current conditions and looking at some of the comments from a broader perspective, we are now divided into 2 camps between those who support and those who still condemn when he was released after committing violence.

I think it's a little tricky for Greenwood and still won't be able to play regardless existing results.

[SquallLeonhart]

Greenwood had a very weird situation that he has to handle very carefully. He is a good player, definitely a great enough player that he could make millions from playing football, there is no doubt about that. However, there is two situations depending on what happened. If he did what he did, then supporting him and giving him contract or get him nike deal and all that would be a very bad decision, because he would be a bad person.

But, since the allegations dropped, does that mean he is not guilty? In that case, how fair is for him to be not playing where he supposed to play and not making as much as he could have? Do we get "innocent until proven guilty" ignorance on this case? I am not sure what is right in this case, it's a very tricky one.

But indeed at that time there was some evidence and it was supported by witnesses which was clearly one of the things that Greenwood could not deny. at this time it was reported that one by one the witnesses began to withdraw from the investigation which resulted in him being declared clean of all charges. but even so, I think it will still be difficult for him to be accepted at Manchester United and other clubs, regardless of what the current conditions are, even if he is not punished, many will still insult him because of his current condition, even if he is declared clean from a legal point of view.

I don't know if Chelsea are going to get themselves into FFP problems because of the amount of money they have spent, both in last summer's transfer window and the just concluded January winter transfer window. Anyway i'm pretty sure the club knows what they are doing and they ought to know how to circumvent all that.

Having said that, Graham Potter is one of the few managers in the world right now that's spoilt for choice on players to select per game, it is a good thing to have, but it can also come with problems of too much rotation and struggles of keeping big players happy; there'd also be a huge amount of pressure on the manager to deliver, Potter has to ensure Chelsea finish in the top four, and then he has to win titles next season, or else he'll prolly be fired.

The pressure to deliver now has just been increased for Garry Potter. I agree that having many big players and options in the team is good but most times it also comes with a huge responsibility especially rotating the squad to fit every game and at the same to keep all players happy. If Potter can get this right surely it will be massive boost in their quest to revive the season and help finish in top four which will be difficult though, but the main focus now should be getting it right cause if he doesn't that will be another problem for the club to battle with.

[Rruchi man]

]At this time, even though he has been declared innocent and has been cleared of the case that happened to him, I still think it will be difficult for Greenwood or Manchester United to bring him back.

Even though all the charges have been dropped against him, I agree with you that it will be difficult for him to become a first-team choice for the new coach of Manchester United. Manchester United team unfortunately seems to be doing better without him so I do not see the point including him right now when the team has just found their balance. If Greenwood returns to the team he would have to fight for a place to play or maybe request that Manchester United send him on a loan because the situation means he will spend most of his time on the bench.
