⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[slapper]

Agree. I see no reason that Rudiger will leave Real Madrid. Rudiger experienced a good season with Real Madrid and he can play regularly. There is no bad issue about Rudiger and Real Madrid, too. So, Rudiger should stay in Real Madrid and won't be interested in Tottenham offer because he is already in the best club in the world now. Ancelotti also will try to keep him because Ancelotti knows that Rudiger has a good role in Real Madrid squad. Rudiger is a strong CB and rarely gets injured, it is difficult to get his replacement if he is leaving.

Real Madrid's achievements are even greater and Rudiger can become even stronger with teamwork at Real Madrid. So maybe Rudiger hstud will first consider the offer made by Tottenham, Real Madrid also of course won't let go of one of their best teams easily. because right now they are playing great with Barcelona to win in La Liga.

i don't think Rudiger will leave, he's playing at one of the best teams and he's doing a decent job, and i don't think Real Madrid would want to get him off of their squad, i'm pretty sure he will keep playing for a couple of years at least with Real Madrid.

I agree with the commenter who says Rudiger will stay with Real Madrid. Let's face it, he's a defensive beast, and with his teammates and Carlo Ancelotti's direction, he's nearly unbeatable.

Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid? They're a world-class team! Rudiger has excelled under Ancelotti. He's an essential teammate.

Will Rudiger leave Real Madrid soon? No way, buddy. I'm excited to watch his and the team's future successes. Real Madrid's chances of winning major titles are greatly increased with Rudiger. Sit back and enjoy some genuine sports excellence.

What do you think if Potter already try so many times to find the best player in each position, but in the end Chelsea is still lose? of course the main problem is Potter itself. I don't think Chelsea have similar case like Manchester United where the curse is from the player e.g. Ronaldo, after Ronaldo leave, Manchester United is win streak until now. In Chelsea there's no one have a power, so there's no be a personal problem there.

Perhaps this question is most of all now worries Potter himself. I see different publications are already starting to predict the date when Potter will be fired, but Bowley does not want to be like Abramovich and change coaches every six months, and he said that the coach should have the opportunity to prepare the team in the offseason. Therefore, Potter will most likely have the opportunity to stay in the team until the start of next season, and then everything will depend on him.

Just because of the Graham Potter problem and Chelsea many people have forgotten that Liverpool is performing woefully this season.
They forgotten that Liverpool is nowhere close top 4. They have forgotten that Liverpool my likely not go to Europa. everybody is now talking about Graham Potter and Chelsea. It is not only Potterthat is having problem, the English football clubs this season are very unpredictable and everybody is having the test of their own tea. Even the mighty Manchester City that used to be at the top of the league is finding it difficult to climb.
Arsenal that is at the top is not resting for a second.

Is it possible that you are missing a tiny little, yet significant detail why everyone is talking about Graham Potter and not so much about Klopp?



With a net transfer spending difference of literally half a billion Euro I think it is ok to discuss Chelsea more than Liverpool! If this is not a statistic that is worth the discussion the way it goes, then what is? Keep in mind that this is just for the season 22/23. Oh and first column is players bought, second column is players sold. Chelsea bought 24 players at an average price of close to 23 million Euro. Is that the highest spending per season in the history of soccer? I don't know, but if such a team then is ranked 10th and only won a single game out of the last five, something must be wrong.

Ronaldinho's son, Joao Mendes (17 yo) is set to sign with Barcelona's youth team. There are no game statistics from the previous club Cruzeiro. Not much information about him, I tried to find his appearance on Youtube, and found this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK2Bm9a5QBQ

Is it possible that Joao Mendes will be able to compete with other Barcelona players as a starting XI, or will he be loaned out more often than played with Barcelona? What do you think?

This is hard to say but it is fun to observe how the kids of some GOAT players are actually doing. Just in terms of the sport, it must be hard to be the son of Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and the like. Usually you can't win, but only lose. Life still isn't bad of course as you are rich like hell and do even get the chance to show your talent to reputable soccer clubs whereas unknown kids don't even get the chance.

A bit off-topic, but in Formula 1 the son of Michael Schumacher tried his luck and even though he was convincing in Formula 2 and 3 I believe, he still couldn't make it (yet).

Does anyone have a good example from the top of their head where the son of an outstanding soccer player had a similar or even more successful career?

It has been rumoured that Gvardiol has been linked with chelsea. It's caused by his friend Nkuku was joining with chelsea. that makes gvardiol interested to do the same thing as nkuku. Chelsea has been rumored to be included gvardiol in the list of transfers for upcoming season.
It was giving advantage to chelsea to get him. There must be so many players need to be terminated or sold by chelsea first.

Well for me this is just a rumor without much substance to it. At the moment almost every player is linked with a possible transfer to FC Chelsea because their new owner does not really know what to do with his money and he also does not know how to build a successful team. It should be obvious by now, that just buying a lot of players that are individually very good does not automatically mean, that this team will have success. I have to say i liked FC Chelsea under Roman Abramovich way more, they have also spent a lot of money back then but at least they spent it relatively smart on players that made sense. Now they are just throwing away their money without any thought behind it.

The latest on the transfer rumours is that PSG are monitoring 3 forwards from the Bundesliga club. The first is Kolo Muani from Frankfurt, the other two players are Marcus Thuram and Manu Kone who are players from Gladbach. All three are still quite young and it looks like this will only become a reality if Neymar does leave PSG in the summer transfer window.

Marcus Thuram was into Chelsea and Inter Milan radar even he almost moved to Chelsea this winter but i don't know why Chelsea preferring to prioritize Mykhaylo Mudryk over him because i am sure Marcus Thuram quality doesn't below to Mudryk and in Monchengladbach he can playing with different position as a winger or striker and as the player who from mediocre team i think his goals records very impressive that from 20 matches Thuram has been scoring 11 goals during this season

His contract will be expired on summer this year because apparently Monchengladbach has decide not too extended his contract and if the rumours is true then PSG has joined the race with the teams i mentioned above so very interesting to see which clubs will be his destination

Marcus Thuram is one player I really admire especially after seeing his outstanding performance in the world cup, I love his strength and ability to force through defenses and create good chances. I expected Arsenal to go for him when we lost the race for Murdryk in January, I don't think Chelsea will be interested in Thuram after making all these signings in January.

I don't think Chelsea will act for Thuram either. I see Thuram next year in the Premier League, but I don't know which team will transfer. If, as a surprise, he manages to make it to the champions league, Newcastle could bring him to the team. It should not be forgotten that he is only 25 years old and has a promising future. Whoever wins Newcastle or any other Premier league team, I think Thuram will be successful.

What do you think if Potter already try so many times to find the best player in each position, but in the end Chelsea is still lose?

Potter did more than 10 games with chelsea and mostly the result of these games were loses. Potter has gotten so many chances but chelsea's managements were so stupid but let him to be a coach even longer. Todd is also the most stupid owned i have ever seen.Everton's owned is far better than todd.lol i don't know the way todd was thinking about his club.

of course the main problem is Potter itself. I don't think Chelsea have similar case like Manchester United where the curse is from the player e.g. Ronaldo, after Ronaldo leave, Manchester United is win streak until now. In Chelsea there's no one have a power, so there's no be a personal problem there.

I do agree with it. Potter must be sacked. Potter recently claimed that the main problem was not him but the players itself. It can't even be accepted. Potter has also become the worst coach in the history of premier league. This can't even be accepted. Potter didn't have mentality to coaching chelsea. I vote for zidane, enrique or mourinho to be a new coach for chelsea but not for potter

Is it possible that Joao Mendes will be able to compete with other Barcelona players as a starting XI, or will he be loaned out more often than played with Barcelona? What do you think?

When looking at the video it seems that Joao Mendes is very dominant using his left foot, in contrast to his father who is dominant using his right foot. I think it's pretty good considering he's still very young and joining Barcelona. But there are indeed indications that later he will be loaned to another club before he is truly mature to enter the Barcelona first team squad list.

To go or not to go? Chelsea risks relegation with their consistent poor performance week after week if Potter stays. Alot of fans have said things like "he is not ready for the job," "Chelsea needs a top manager that can salvage the situation," "he is a mid-table manager,". The fans are so impatient, and I understand.
However, they should remember that Arsenal's Arteta faced the same situation at the beginning of his management in Arsenal but look at him now and the team he has built up.

[Zaguru12]

He is explaining things always in general , nothing specific and keep clapping even embarassingly lost. I can't see a great attitude come from potter , he cannot deliver what the fans wanted not even once , nothing special even worse the players looks confused with his strategy and often losing ball easily in a game.

The rumor has it , potter backed quite strong by boehly but also some big names popped up to fill chelsea space in case potter did get fired suddenly.

Boehly had himself put into this tight situation when he offered a rookie manager a mega contract of five years. Had the contract be less it will be easy to sack him. Now they need to pay him off that wages of five years before he is sacked. The best they could do now is to make him see off the season. But that could come at a cost because many top managers might have gotten a new club. Recently it was reported that PSG are in advance talk to bring back Tuchel to the club and that could be bad news for Chelsea in the long run. Could act fast now or miss out on these managers

Even though Chelsea's current condition is very bad but talking about the relegation I think is too much for them.
The current conditions are still very far from being in that zone, it's just that at this time their conditions are still very below the standard for a big club.
It's still very possible to be in the middle standings but when relegation with the current conditions I don't think so because it's too far.

They have to make a decent breakthrough at this time Potter is clearly threatened even though I still believe he will be in his position until the end of the season, but for next season I have doubts about that.

Apart from that, we also know that Rudiger's contract at Madrid is still quite long because he has only had half a season at the moment so there is really no reason for him to leave so soon with the condition that he is a mainstay for the club.
Even though he really wants to, I don't think Madrid will let that happen because they are in a condition that can be said to be not doing well at the moment.

Since the failure that Chelsea received, Graham Potter has received so much criticism from Chelsea fans who are dissatisfied with the results achieved by the blues. Potter was only able to give 1 win for Chelsea and even then at the start of his debut if I'm not mistaken. Dna now doesn't know what makes the Chelsea team keep it while the English Premier League giant clubs improve their performance. Only Chelsea was far behind, this should have been a final warning for Potter not to waste himself at Chelsea.

Todd wants to avoid the legacy of Ibrahimovic in sacking coaches at every slight mistakes. I think he wants to undoubtedly give Potter chances to the end prove himself to the end and I am in support that he should be given to next season to use the new signings to do good works. Every coach doing well has been given good time before they start performing well.

For Real Madrid, Rüdiger is an important player and a newcomer to the team.  We will still watch many matches with Real Madrid jersey.  I also think it's successful.  I don't think Real Madrid will let him go easily.  If Anthony Rüdiger wants to leave the team, of course, this may change.  I honestly think this possibility is unrealistic.

Whoever the manager who handles Chelsea, will not necessarily bring Chelsea to significant changes. what happened to Chelsea, the same as the situation with Liverpool. the difference is, Chelsea brought in a lot of newcomers. while Liverpool, only brought in Gakpo. but for sure, both of them are in their worst phases. there are many factors that become obstacles, apart from the many injured players. mentality and spirit of the players, is dropping. in essence, Klopp and Potter are both trying to get their teams back on track. but it's not easy, there's a process they have to go through, trying to rebuild the bond and chemistry between the players, plus, the coach. everyone involved must work together, not just put all the blame on the coach.

Nevertheless, I believe. if Potter is not able to bring change to the end of this season. then his career with Chelsea, will end.

Nevertheless, I believe. if Potter is not able to bring change to the end of this season. then his career with Chelsea, will end.

There were many considerations when Chelsea wanted to fire Graham Potter as coach, because Chelsea's owner Todd Boehly was quite satisfied with Potter's performance off the field, Potter made your team's training a pretty good analysis. He also has a calm personality and rarely expresses emotion on the field. And when he is off the field he dares to express his complaints in front of the players, he does this so that the players can correct their game.
Another reason why Chelsea didn't want to fire Potter was related to team building. If Potter is fired then team building will stop, rather than looking for a new coach which of course takes time and adaptation, it is better to retain Graham Potter.

Since being handled by Potter, Chelsea has played in 27 matches in all competitions. However, they only managed to win 9 wins under the British manager. The rest, Chelsea had to settle for 7 draws and 9 defeats. In fact, the most recent was a 0-1 defeat to bottom team Southampton in the Premier League.

Chelsea's declining performance has knocked them out of the FA Cup and English League Cup and is stranded in 10th place in the Premier League standings. In the Champions League, Mason Mount and his colleagues also suffered a 0-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the round of 16.

It's been so long since they scored that I can't even remember. I don't want to compare Chelsea's case to Arsenal's, but Chelsea's is worse. It will soon be time for them to pay Potter off with huge sums, but he still has to prove his worth. It's embarrassing to be a Chelsea fan right now. There is a lot of depression about Chelsea's poor PL position. Potter and Chelsea need to bounce back strongly. A Chelsea fan must be patient so he or she can experience it. Because Potter was hired to build a team, the process takes time.
