⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shinratensei_]

I highlight the front line because they don't have a centre-forward and so far have place Marcus Rasford and Anthony Martial ineffective and even though Anthony Martial is a centre-forward however his performance was below the level required by Manchester United. On the other hand, we may also see that in the previous three matches the performance of the midfield and defenders has also been inconsistent so far, so Ten Hak must immediately find a solution to this problem.

Calm down buddy, we already have a wonder kid named Hojlund, Manchester United will able to win streaks when Hojlund recovered from injury

Rasmus Hojlund

Injury: Back

Possible return date: September 3 vs Arsenal (A)

What Ten Hag has said: "Not for tomorrow. [He's] Near. Today, for the first time, he came into team training so next week we expect him to do a full week of team training, so he's near to the squad."

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-injury-news-latest-27602963

Ten haag was just giving the latest update regarding hojlund's injury. I hope he will able to play soon. Im feeling so curious about his debut.   I don't put a high expectation for him at this moment. It's likely he will come back at middle or end of next month.
Many MU fans are waiting for his action in the field.

If there's no change after Hojlund is playing, then it's the time to bully him and Ten Hag need to find other striker. I feel Hojlund would be like Nunez where he's can't perform in the first season, but after then he can improve in the next season. I hope Hojlund isn't same as Mudryk lol.

The fans needs to see how good or bad his debut. Some fans may be booed him like mount once he will not able to deliver. I saw that some guys on twitter were praising him a lot as the next haaland.

Have even forgotten that Manchester United signed a striker, so funny. I think Ten Hag is playing mind game, he doesn't want the next Coach to know his game plan, I feel Rasmus might be ready to face Arsenal This weekend, the injury wasn't serious, Manchester United shown class during the Nottingham forest game. I have never seen such a winning mentality from this Manchester United squad, every player were attacking to get the goal.

Ten has to do two more signing, probably one centre Defender and a left footer.

They say that Joao Felix can be the replacement for Salah in case he leaves for a Saudi team soon. But the time is running out for English teams to make transfers. It ends by the end of this month as far as I know.

Can Felix be a good replacement for Salah? I don't know really. But if Liverpool don't have anyone else in their mind then they can just go for him. Felix is familiar with the EPL as he played for Chelsea for one season. Maybe he can do a good work if he is given more time in this league. Felix wants Barcelona but it doesn't look like this deal is happening.

What do you think on this? Can Felix be successful enough at Liverpool?

Mohammed Salah to Saudi? How true is this piece of information, because I'm pretty sure that they're rumours circulating round, on a second thought, this is football, one can wake up one morning and see the unbelievable rumour turned out to be true.  If he exits Anfield, it will hugh loss on Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp ends, perhaps the Reds will keep their game performance tight and standard. Joao Félix moving to Barcelona is not happening anytime soon, he is one of the few good young players in Atletico Madrid, he's just retrained by the coach from playing regular games for unknown reasons.

Klopp already reject Al Ittihad's proposal, actually it can be said Salah will not leave Liverpool in this season. Pretty sure Klopp will try his best to keep Salah in Liverpool because he's a big asset and he can still playing for the next few years even though he's get older.

Barcelona can't sign Joao Felix because Atletico Madrid is demanding big amount of money as we know Barcelona's financial isn't in good condition.

They still have high hopes for Hojlund it seems because seeing from the current situation with the end of this summer transfer and they are still not looking for other options, the possibility of waiting for Hojlund until he is completely recovered from injury is Manchester United's last hope.
Martial is one of the players who is currently on the sell list from Manchester United and Rashford we know that he is only an option because he is not a pure striker so indeed only Hojlund is currently Manchester United's hope.
To be honest this is like gambling because it is like making a bet on a young striker but they will definitely continue to try this at least to see how Hojlund plays later as if he is not up to expectations then Ten Hag will likely look for new alternatives in the winter.

Who would have thought that not only European players have joined the Saudi league team but now it is the turn of top coaches like Roberto Mancini to be appointed as coach of the Saudi Arabian national team. We know that some time ago Roberto Mancini was fired from the Italian national team and not long ago he has now signed a contract as the new coach of the Saudi Arabian national team.

I am quite surprised if none of the national teams of other countries, especially on the European continent, want to bring him in as a coach because after all he is one of the best coaches and had brought Italy to win the EURO 2020 competition. But what is clear is because of course now Roberto Mancini has an extraordinary offer as a coach in the saudi arabia national team and reportedly he is the coach with the biggest salary at this time.

Ten Hag spent without regret in this transfer period. Man United's squad has begun to change but has yet to reach the level Ten Hag wants. The management of Man United may consider a new contract for coach Ten Hag. The process of changing owners of Man United is in trouble. However, this does not affect the personnel decision. Whether the Glazers stay at Man United or not, Ten Hag is still the choice for the coaching chair at Old Trafford.
Let's wait and see what Ten Hag's team will do this season when Ten Hag won the fans' trust and Man United's management.

Kolo Muani is still a rumoured player with PSG in the recent times. This time it is said like he will join PSG and Frankfurt will sign Ekitike on one hand. But there is a limited time left for the end of the transfer window. Can PSG convince his team on the transfer fee quickly? His worth in the market is 80 million euros hence they had better prepare a higher amount than that. He is a very valuable player for Frankfurt at the moment. As a result they wouldn't like to sell him just for his market value.

PSG has been increasing its offer. The news was just coming a few hours ago. PSG has increased the fees to get him which was around €80m. The final decision was on the frankfurt regarding the decision of muani's future.
I think that will be a big lose if frankfurt will not sell him to the PSG. Muani is willing to play under PSG as well. The club shall not net to prevent his intention to play together with some star players like mbappe in PSG. I hope frankfurt will accept such offer very soon.
There was also a news if frankfurt has found a replacement for muani once he joins in PSG.

L’Équipe are reporting that Eintracht Frankfrut are considering a move for FC Metz’s Georges Mikautadze (22) in the event of Randal Kolo Muani’s move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Kolo Muani joined Eintracht Frankfurt from FC Nantes on a free transfer last summer, but he could depart the Bundesliga after just one season. PSG have seen a €60m offer rejected, but discussions are ongoing, according to L’Équipe.

https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/eintracht-frankfurt-considering-metzs-georges-mikautadze-as-randal-kolo-muani-replacement/

He has a contract until 2027 now so Frankfurt must be comfortable with their actions on his future. By the way do you think PSG need another striker after Ramos' arrival? I don't think so.

Goncalo ramos was far from my expectation. PSG needs to buy another striker. It's in preparation when mbappe leaves from the club anytime.

Felix wants Barcelona but it doesn't look like this deal is happening.

What do you think on this? Can Felix be successful enough at Liverpool?

If Liverpool happens to sign Joao Felix, I don't think they'll be doing so because they want him to replace Mohammed Salah because despite the fact that they're attacking players, the two players in question does not play in the same position. Salah plays from the right wing of the flank while Felix plays from the left wing or behind the  main striker.
Liverpool manager has also debunk any report that suggests that Mohammed Salah will be leaving the English Premier League club at this summer. The club had a bad campaign last season and are more concerned in having a much better campaign this season

Klopp had truly dismissed the purported transfer of Mohammed Salah to Al Itthiad, however I don't trust some of these players because a personal agreement or terms might have been reached between the player agent and the Saudi Arabian club which would prompt a transfer request by the player, I believe the money involved in the deal will be very massive Mohammed might be Salah prompted to accept the offer being an opportunity to cash out big time having reached the peak of his career, however between now till the midnight of August 31th of course we would watch how his transfer saga would unfold not until September 1st  after transfer window closes that is when I would believe he won't leave Liverpool for Al Itthiad.

But what is clear is because of course now Roberto Mancini has an extraordinary offer as a coach in the saudi arabia national team and reportedly he is the coach with the biggest salary at this time.

From this we can conclude, it is very clear how Saudi Arabia has changed its policy and shifted towards investing in many sectors, including sports. The results may take time, but in the end there will be drastic changes. I salute the development of football in Saudi Arabia.

I think you are wrong if you say Roberto Mancini was sacked as Italy coach, which is true he stepped down as Italy coach. from my point of view, Roberto Mancin didn't resign because he wanted Saudi Arabia's money, he resigned because FIGC GRAVENO interfered in Mancini's managerial staff and changed them all. Mancini was not happy with that. It's a shame this has happened to Italy when he is one of the best coaches.

The Germany international has had a tough start to life at Arsenal after joining them in the summer from Chelsea for £65 million. Mikel Arteta has used Havertz in a midfield three so far this season but he has so far struggled to adapt to the Gunners' manager's system. On Saturday against Fulham, Havertz squandered an easy chance to score and was then substituted in the 56th minute as Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham.

Keys did not hold back after the match as he slammed Arteta for messing around with his starting lineup to fit in Havertz, who according to the beIN Sports presenter, is just a less talented version of former Arsenal playmaker Ozil.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/kai-havertz-new-mesut-ozil-without-talent-arsenal-mikel-arteta-stop-messing-starting-xi-accommodate-forward/bltdd0b841600ac1220

Havertz's transfer was utterly scam. He never able scoring even though he had been getting the ball in front of the goal keeper of its opponent. Many critics were coming toward him. It's likely arsenal needs to buy another player to replace him.
Even being sport called him as a bad verison of mesut ozil but i would be agree with all of the critics caused by he had always been showing awful performance. This guy shall not be included in the next starting line up.

Arsenal needs a good player maker like ozil. Havert was just playing so badly. No doubt if chelsea was kicking him out. He is such a disappointment for all arsenal fans.
Arteta needs buy a new talented player to replace him.

I thought transferring Havertz was odd. Even when face-to-face with the goalkeeper, he misses obvious shots every time I see him on the pitch. It reminds me of his Chelsea days! Ozil used to work magic for Arsenal. Havertz, like many, thinks he's channeling Ozil but looks off-brand. Arsenal's insanity to sign him for so much and then this! And Arteta? Mixing the lineup for Havertz? Perhaps a mistake. I'd hire someone else to spice up the midfield if I were in charge.

I think what is also important is to see Manchester United's absolute performance and with their 75 points last season they were doing good I think. It wasn't impressive, but Manchester United benefitted from many of the toughest competitors to struggle so hard. Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool did so bad that they made it easy for Manchester United to be ahead of them. If the strongest teams in the Premier League perform on a high level, then it would be much harder for Manchester United to finish in the top four. I don't know what they are lacking so far to take their game truly to the next level, but I thought that their team is strong enough to compete with everyone. But a first analysis shows that they almost failed against Wolverhampton, then lost their game against Tottenham and now almost tied a game against Nottingham Forest despite being one man down with almost half an hour to go. I think this isn't what they've been hoping for so far.

That's what I mean and sometimes every top team in the English league has a bad moment at the start of the season and maybe also influenced by some mid or bottom teams who play with high intensity. But when the games are almost half a season, usually teams that are far from the level of the top teams will lose consistency and one by one they will lose points from each match. Manchester United may not be one of them and there are other big teams who are also experiencing the same thing and we can see from the results of the three matches that have taken place. In the previous three matches Ten Hak's team had difficulty keeping pace with the matches against Wolverhampton, Tottenham, and most recently Nottingham Forest.

I highlight the front line because they don't have a centre-forward and so far have place Marcus Rasford and Anthony Martial ineffective and even though Anthony Martial is a centre-forward however his performance was below the level required by Manchester United. On the other hand, we may also see that in the previous three matches the performance of the midfield and defenders has also been inconsistent so far, so Ten Hak must immediately find a solution to this problem.

Yes but lacking a centre-forward doesn't really come as a surprise for them as they had enough time to find a proper player for that position if Ten Haag wanted it.

But this is exactly the problem that three games in a row were problematic. When they win the first game against Wolverhampton at home and in their own stadium Wolverhampton has more chances than they had, the whole team should know that something must be changed.

That game is then followed by a loss and a true reality check against Tottenham. Still not enough to have all the warning signals shining deep red? This is what I think is their biggest problem. They don't learn from past experiences. The game against Nottingham Forst could have been a draw as well and then they would already be in trouble also in terms of the number of points they would have had then. Now it still looks ok, but everyone who had a closer look at the three games knows that Manchester United is still not really ready for this.

The Saudi side are really using money to tempt players, Liverpool are not ready to let go of Mo Salah. With the Saudi club splashing £150m for Salah, I mean that's a lot of money to do good business... I wonder why Liverpool hasn't grab that offer after all he only has 2 years on his contract and he's not even that sharp as of before. I don't blame Liverpool because they've already let go up to 5 players if not more.
Should Salah join the Saudi club? To me he should because I don't see any club signing Salah up to £30m from next year... Liverpool need to act up now or lose such offer.

Although it is a very large offer, seeing from his current condition it is quite difficult for Liverpool to let Salah leave.
Time is tight because the transfer will be closed soon and the possibility of not being able to bring in a suitable replacement is still a problem for Liverpool so I think the big price and Salah is also lured by a sizable salary of 80 million for one season is unlikely to make Liverpool agree to it because they also still really need Salah in his attack line.
Their midfield has been overhauled because some of their players went to the Arab league and it is unlikely that Liverpool will release Salah too in this transfer.

Liverpool and Klopp don't have any intention to let Mohamed Salah go since they know that their attack line will be less effective even if Salah dropping comparing to the previous seasons.
The problem here is that Mohamed Salah is asking to leave Liverpool right now because the Saudi offer is ridiculously interesting and will make him retire for good as soon as the contract finish there.
Liverpool are aware of that and they have names to replace him especially Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, otherwise there is Ryan Gravenbarch from Bayern Munich or Cheick Doucoure from Crystal Palace..

But what is clear is because of course now Roberto Mancini has an extraordinary offer as a coach in the saudi arabia national team and reportedly he is the coach with the biggest salary at this time.

Congratulations to Mancini on landing this job that many coaches would have wanted considering how very financially lucrative it is. Saudi Arabia national team tried in the last world cup, they can improve on that, although I feel that any improvement in the team and in competitions will not be instant. They have a good coach now, but they still may not be able to win any trophy in any competition they will play yet. There will need to improve first. Maybe Suadi sides will make the headlines again if they are able to successfully bring Mo Salah from Liverpool.

I think Liverpool will agree to this offer, it's a very big number for a 31 year old player. Even though Jurgen Klopp squad really need him in attack, they could sign younger players in the long term. But in line with what you said, the time for the transfer market to run low will make it difficult for all those involved in the transfer process.

Reportedly Liverpool have already prepared their square off for Salah departure, Klopp is reported to be interested in recruiting Jao Felix and Federico Chiesa.

[Velvet78]

Roma still want Romelu Lukaku but not on a permanent deal. They want him on loan instead. The reason must be Abraham's being about to return in January. Abraham is still a much better option for them normally. But they would make use of a good replacement for him in his absence to due to injury.

Lukaku can be considered as such candidate for the position. He is already looking forward to leaving the team and Chelsea are no different as well. But Chelsea lean towards a permanent deal rather than a loan one. Therefore I don't know whether they can agree terms.

Given how many rumors are circulating all the time, I think that if it really was £150m, Liverpool wouldn't do anything wrong when they let him go. That is a massive transfer fee for a 31 years old player and I also agree that Salah is probably not going to break any records during the rest of his career. It would still be causing some problems for Liverpool, but that is a lot of money for that player at that age.

But all the clubs have the same problem and that is accepting a big transfer fee doesn't guarantee that an equal player is available for that price. When Liverpool would finalize that deal and everyone knows what they received for Salah, they would all obviously charge more for their players as they know that Liverpool is in need of a replacement.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Liverpool are aware of that and they have names to replace him especially Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, otherwise there is Ryan Gravenbarch from Bayern Munich or Cheick Doucoure from Crystal Palace..

Moh Salah desire to leave Liverpool must be reviewed by Liverpool Management. On the one hand Liverpool still really needs Moh Salah in their squad even though his performance is starting to decline, while on the other hand it will have a bad effect on Liverpool if they hold Moh Salah who has no desire to continue his career at Anfield.

The offer that came from the Saudi Arabian Club changed Moh Salah commitment, however if the offer lives up to expectations, Liverpool should consider the offer. The money that came into Liverpool's account from Moh Salah's transfer could be used to find other players who were easier and more productive. Liverpool must realize that they cannot keep Mo Salah at Anfield forever, when there is an opportunity to let him go at a high price, Liverpool must consider it.
