⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Franctoshi]

Between Nagelsmann and Pochettino I think Nagelsmann is the most preferred choice for Chelsea, Pochettino has not had an impressive stat is the past few years having been sacked twice at Tottenham and Paris Saint German but Nagelsmann was having a good run this season having carried Bayern Munich through an unbeaten run to the quarter finals of the Champions league and in a good position in the league it was just unfortunate that he had to part ways due to some misunderstandings amongst his coaching staff and cause lots of tension so I think Nagelsmann is the best choice.

I suggest that Chelsea should ensure they have their time to scrutinize the market and to come out with a better decisions over which manager takes over Chelsea,  in the person that will be able to hit the ground running immediately after he's given the job opportunity and to try getting Chelsea out of this whole mess. As for me they should be in contact with Zinedine Zidane to know if he will be able to take charge of the Blues team because I see him more suitable to the job and Chelsea's current situation. but in his absence, Nagelsmann looks to me, a more better option than Pochettino.

Messi has gotten everything while he was a soccer player, most recently the World Cup he won with the Argentina national team. The news of Messi return to Barcelona is also blowing very fast, it does not rule out the possibility that Messi will return to Barcelona uniform next season. He is still being fought over by several European clubs, it is very small then that Messi accepts offers from leagues outside of Europe even though he is lured by big offers.

Indeed, I heard that Messi wanted to go to Barcelona because of the family's request. But another factor is the pay cut from PSG and fans who are not friendly with Messi's current state. I heard Messi's salary will be cut by 25%, this is to remain eligible in FFP. But this is only a rumor. I myself find it strange if Messi comes back. They have started to come out of Messi's shadow with young players who continue to develop. Signing Messi may be an instant solution to the frontline problems but it has a bad impact for the long term.

I actually see it from a different side, Messi presence in the Barcelona squad will further improve the quality of Barcelona's game. Messi will take on a new role this time around, he will be shifted to the center to serve the attackers with his beautiful cross. He can also set the rhythm of the game well, the 4-3-3 formation can still be used with the current attacking scheme, Messi will fill in as an attacking midfielder.

Young players can learn directly from Messi, his presence in the squad can help their development. Dembele is one of the players who experienced rapid development when playing with Messi. Messi presence will not cause problems in Barcelona game, he is not the type of player who is hungry for individual titles. This time, his status as a teacher for other young players, his existence will really help Barcelona in the title race in the following season.

Chelsea decision to fire Potter was the right step because Potter was not able to make Chelsea better, at this time Chelsea made Saltor a temporary coach to replace Potter, it seems that currently Chelsea is only waiting for time to get a new coach and Enrique is a strong candidate to train Chelsea in the season left , Enrique coaching career in the Spanish league was quite brilliant but it was different when he coached outside of Spain which actually failed and I think it will be very difficult for Enrique to conquer the English league later especially with Chelsea current condition.

What many for weeks ask has now happened. And from Germany, the ex-coach of Bayern Munich Julian Nagelsmann maybe get this job. He is  available since the 24 March, on this date he has gone with the job as a coach Bayern Munich. Until now he was only in Germany as a coach, in no other country, so it would be something completely new. But there are others who want to do the job at Chelsea: Luis Enrique. No matter which coach comes, i hope Chelsea will play better with it. They have so many good players and they need a coach who win the games.

But there is something that severely speaks against it. Assuming that Chelsea does not win the Champions League this year (which I think won't happen), Nagelsmann would take on a job at a team that neither plays Champions League nor Europa League. There is also the rumor that Real Madrid is in talks about him and Ancelotti probably will lose his job and Real is planning to start a new era. If that is the case the only reason for Nagelsmann to go to Chelsea would be a big salary. Otherwise I would think twice about it in his case. It is not such a great option as it seems to be at first glance.

Why would Messi go to Barcelona? Except for the fact that the coach is Xavi right now, I don't see any other reason for him to go to Barcelona. At this age, he can easily go to MLS or the Saudi League to basically chill and get a big fat paycheck. Why would he need to go to Barcelona to prove something that he has already done?

I understand that young players will be able to learn from Messi. But there was a time when he really wanted to stay in Barcelona but the Barcelona authority basically did not let him stay. I would say he should go for the 400 million.

I'm surprised Zidane still isn't keen on facing a big club in the Premier League, and if it's Chelsea he's in charge, we can at least see a good game. Despite Zidane's disinterest, I think he prefers to remain silent. Ancelotti is still comfortable at Real Madrid and his contract is still long. Graham Potter is gone for us to mention, maybe the coach option Todd Boehly wants is someone he can control. It's not like when Tuchel was there but seeing Todd Boehly's selection of Potter should be a lesson that the results are always abysmal.

Looks like Zidane does not have interest in managing any team in English Premier league, if he had interest many clubs would have come rushing with good offers to get his signature but since he left Real Madrid we are yet to hear any rumour or official statement of a preferred destination to resume his coaching career.

[RealMalatesta]

Even their fans are always uproar on social media to fight over the "GOAT" title. lol.
I didn't think it would get there, but indeed the competition between these 2 players really felt both inside and outside the field. Precisely I want to see them become rivals again, I want to see these two players play in the same team before they leave the world of football or retire as players, it will be one of history where the two best players in the world will be in one team the same one.

I think that "is ronaldo or messi the goat" discussion benefits them the most. I mean these two players are so great that we only have their discussion and nobody else, which proves that even if you think one of them is the goat, that means the other is the second greatest player ever lived, isn't that amazing achievement?

I get that wanting to be the best is always great, and "second is the first loser" mindset works right now and that's something a bit better. But that doesn't change the fact that we do not end up with anything worse than that, it is second greatest player ever, and that's amazing for both of them. I love them both, and do not consider a competition, it is a viewing pleasure for me to see them both.

Zidane has other plans apparently. Since he will not be the manager of the French national football team for the next years, he should postulate in a top team and he will be picked for sure. Bayern would be interested before signing Tuchel. PSG would pick him. Barely all Italian teams will be interested for sure. Chelsea or Spurs are lacking good management...and the list could be even bigger.

[Distraction]

Roberto de Zerbi is another name being called with the manager job at Chelsea. But I hope they don't make such move. Because I think Chelsea just need a much more experienced manager who has worked for big teams.

For now they are thinking of the formula that they can bring Lampard until the end of the season as a caretaker manager. I don't see any problem in that though because they don't have much goal left in this season. They have only the Champions League left in their hands now. But their chance is not very much against Real Madrid which is the truth now. There is a really limited time period left for the matches also. Therefore even if they bring a top manager now he will need to take his time to adapt - unless he is familiar with the EPL or Chelsea.

Since a few years ago he has said that he will not coach a big club in the EPL. The simple reason is that he is still in a language condition because he is not free to give directions because he is indeed constrained in language. I think this reason will continue to be used by Zidane so that for several big clubs like Chelsea, for example, for now, those who still hope for Zidane will be a hope in vain.

I'm not going to conclude that quickly with the new coach Chelsea could be even better. The reason is the same thing I heard when Graham Potter was first appointed as coach. But in reality nothing has changed from their game, even worse than before. Now they are with interim coaches, and their first game without Graham Potter drew. Many coaches are now being linked with Chelsea, but until now there has been no confirmation from Chelsea, maybe they are careful in appointing a new coach again, so it will take longer.

Since he decided not to become a coach from any club, since then Zidane has been in great demand by many clubs. The brilliant achievements that he recorded when he became Real Madrid coach were indeed extraordinary, so it's not surprising that many clubs want to collaborate with this coach. But until now it seems that he is still enjoying a period like this, or maybe he is monitoring the club he will coach later. I'm so curious who will get his services, I think sooner or later he will accept a proposal from one of the clubs.

He has no plan at all and thats a fact. He is not the type of manager that would coach any team that wants him. He is the type that only accept offer from a team that has capabilities to win the league atleast which is also why he hasnt coach any team yet after Real Madrid although there were alot of speculations back then that some top teams like Manchester United wanted him

He might be interested with PSG though in case if the team wants him

Chelsea new management done mistake to fire Thomas Tuchel very quickly and bringing Graham Potter was surely the biggest mistake which bring some good mess-up in club even after spending huge funds they are unable to have required results so now having another decision which is surely late, but good one will bring better results even now next season is going to be without any European Competition but things looking positive for them in long run.

Currently, on media reports based things showing Nagelsmann is hot favourite for this spot, but Luis Enrique is also at front foot but good thing happening as Chelsea management taking time before announcing about this hopefully things could be better and positive for this club which is having the worst time in this season after taking over by new owners.

The chance for messi to go to the al hilal is quite small at this moment. It's not until messi will be thinking if his age was old enough to play in europa and then he will think to continue his career in arabian league but im not sure if arabian league will be giving him second chance again.
He will be thinking about that if he will have the same fate as pique. Messi becomes even older and this is also giving a big impact on his performance.

Seeing how bad he was in PSG makes me think that he may have faced various difficulties when he will be playing in barcelona again.

Agreed about this all with Xavi and Barcelona management are doing their best for him as they want him in this club but sadly financial situation is not good which is preventing him from joining Barcelona even with cut in salary so Al-Hilal offer is surely one of the biggest for any player, but GOAT will not accept this one and try his best for staying here in Europe.

PSG offer is also already on table for extension, but he is now interested because he already understands staying here is also not suitable for him because PSG is having issues which are not allowing them to win UEFA Champions League and before settling things like these never been easy for them to win title so what's coming next from him its never been easy but most chances he will stay in Europe and end his career here or until Copa 2024 is surely going to happen.

I've currently heard they're in with negotiations with Frank Lampard, honestly, I want to know the difference he has from Graham Potter.
They might both be good coaches to a level but they honestly don't deserve coaching a big side like Chelsea, all that suits them are those underdogs in the Premier League.

Honestly if it's Frank Lampard against Real Madrid, you can go ahead to call it off. Chelsea can not win Real Madrid with Frank Lampard, we all saw he was poor tactically, before he was sacked by Abrahimovich.

To be honest I won't be happy to see Messi playing for Asian teams like Ronaldo, they are not the same and these two players are not in the same situation that's why there is no need to say Messi should do the same thing as Ronaldo about transferring to Asian teams for more money, because he can still play on top teams like Barcelona and finish his career there.

Zizou never had an interest to go to the EPL. He is favoring his old clubs juventus and real madrid to be the most potential team for him to manage in the future. It's clearly said that if zidane was not fluent in english. He will not even try to be a coach for a team that he was not even a native speaker. It has even been confirmed by him if he is willing to be a coach for the team that he knows the main language used by the club. Language is very important for him considering how good or bad the result actually depends on how good his communication with the club. I see no chance for him to be a. new coach for chelsea. This reason may a bit absurd but this is what has already been said by him in the past. He is seeing it as a very important aspect to build the relationship with the team that he coached it.

He can also set the rhythm of the game well, the 4-3-3 formation can still be used with the current attacking scheme, Messi will fill in as an attacking midfielder.

I've watched Messi a lot to know this won't work. Messi likes to float to the middle, but it doesn't mean he likes being played in the middle. He performs best when he is in his preferred right-wing, that way he can float to the center and even to the striker position. He's no longer a young man so he has to play according to his strength. Hes too old to struggle for 90 minutes in the midfield.
I believe Messi will be a wonderful addition to Barcelona too and young players will benefit from him, but every player on that right wing of Barcelona would be sacrificed except Dembele that can actually adapt to the left wing. Lewnadoski too will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Messi's return.

Barcelona has been Lionel Messi's home and family. He love Barcelona with everything in him and he's very passionate about everything that has to do with Barcelona and that was why he was very emotional when he was saying goodbye to the fans of the Catalan club. Messi is still has a lot to give to football before he retires despite the unbeatable records he's already created in the game but will he want to ga back to Barcelona as a player again after they humiliated him by asking him to leave two summers ago? That is just one question only Messi can answer

Actually, Zidane seems have no interest to manage any team in any league, not only EPL. We don't hear any statement from him about his interest to manage a club/team in the near future. Not sure about his reason, but it may be about his family reason. However, it is Zidane's own right to decide managing a club or not. He knows what is better for him and his career. Sure, there should be many offers already, many big clubs are interested to hire him. But unfortunately, Zidane seems still enjoy to live without managing any club for now. 

Anyway, if he is ready to return managing a club/team, I really want to see him manage a club in EPL or Serie A. I hope he doesn't return to Real Madrid.
