⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rozak]

Seeing West Ham's movements in the transfer market this summer was surprising, they managed to sell Declan Rice to Arsenal for around 100 million euros and then they invested by bringing in 3 new players to strengthen their midfield. Of the three players there are Mohammed Kudus, James Ward-Prowse, and Edson Alvarez. So far James Ward-Prowse has contributed goals and assists for West Ham in the last few matches, but soon we will see Mohammed Kudus' debut in this week's match considering he was just brought in a few days ago from Ajax. I think David Moyes knows very well the players the club really needs to be more competitive this season and it's not wrong for them to bring in talented players at a fairly reasonable cost. Maybe West Ham is the only team in the EPL that has made the best player transfers so far.

David Moyes have done a wonderful business  with all these names introduced. The signing of Ward Prowse and Kudus excited me because I know  they would  adapt very well to the Premier League and the Westham team in general.
Kudus has been been linked with clubs like Chelsea and also Man United  due to the influence of Ten Hag but he finally choose to end with the hammers. They have made good midfield signatures how well can Bowen and Antonio  score goals.  They have to be set for the double stressful season as they have been ungraded to play Europa League.

This was quite surprising because previously Man United and Liverpool were interested in Kudus, but in the end, he chose West Ham. He is a young player with potential, therefore West Ham also dares to sign him in the long term.
West Ham's performance at the start of the season was also not bad. especially with several new names in the squad, This might make West Ham's game improve. last season they were pretty bad, and this season they made some transfers to get better.

A surprise moves by chelsea. I remember that if todd has been giving some clubs if the club is willing to buy someone who had everything. Chelsea has been choosing cole palmer to join in the club. I dunno whether the negotiation can be finished or not as there was only one day remaining.
Chelsea is now in talk with manchester city regarding possibility to buy him from the citizen. I hope chelsea will be able to get him. It's far better rather than getting balogun from arsenal.
It surprises me to see that how chelsea was picking palmer instead of consider another guy from the different league. There was also a rumor if chelsea will be completing this transfer in january.
Palmer opens the possibility to join in chelsea soon.

Am wondering why most strikers at the age of 32 would be hanging their boots when they still have alot to offer in terms of experience that the younger players can get a thing or two...

And for a skillful player like him, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a bad idea just to make bank $$$ then call it a day...whatever is going on could be a decision made out of duress and don't believe he wanted this! If this is true, enjoy your retirement sir.

But are there any interests from Saudi Arabia clubs? It is hard to pin down what's going on in players mind also. Some players just don't like to move to Saudi Arabia and rather just choose to stay in European leagues so if there isn't any offers then player might choose to retire. It must be a really tough decision but he made it in the end. Wished could see him back at form like he used to in Chelsea days but guess we won't be seeing that now.

Cole Palmer is a young talent at Manchester City and I really know he has a good game every time Pep Guardiola gives him a chance. Cole Palmer failed to compete with his teammates which then made him often on the bench, but I believe he still wants to stay at Manchester City.

Cole Palmer may eventually have to give up and accept the proposal of Chelsea who are interested in him. Chelsea needed Palmer's services because I think Pochettino really knows the quality of this English player. Palmer has good pace and accuracy, but it's a shame that Pep Guardiola couldn't give him more minutes due to the stiff competition from the other midfielders in the squad.

Chelsea in the race to bring the englishman to Stamford Bridge this season, the negotiation is still on. Cole Palmer is an important project for Manchester City this season. He's young and perfectly suits in the game strategy of Pep Guardiola at Etihad Stadium. There are many pending discoveries about Palmer which would be uncovered this season, Pep started using him and given him regular play time which will sealed the development of the midfielder. I won't even be shocked if Pep Guardiola finally converts him to a winger, Palmer is good and I sensed him to be a versatile player.

Hazard took a big step forward when he signed for Real Madrid back then. But that chain of injuries he got there already brought the end of his career I'm afraid. Otherwise we could have been mentioning his name much more differently now. He could have been one of the critical members of the team.

Maybe he wasn't going to get injured that often if he stayed at Chelsea I don't know. It was like a turning point in his career. Now he has become one of the ordinary players in the industry. Maybe he wouldn't be like that for Saudi teams but it looks like he just wants to retire no matter what.

He was once one of Europe's most after, but now Eden Hazard is just a shadow of himself. He will be remembered as one of Chelsea's greatest players. In Real's shirt, Hazard is the most disappointing contract in history. He spent most of his time in the hospital room due to injury or on the bench due to poor performance. Hazard could retire at 32 after turning down all offers in the summer of 2023. It was the right decision for him when injuries always haunted him.

Honestly the hastily move of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid put an end to his once flourishing career at Chelsea, infact in 2018 he was among one of the best player in the world while at his best in Chelsea, he is a very skillful dribbler and a very pacy player, unfortunately injury dealt a big blow to his footballing career at Real Madrid, I think he  decided to retire early just to prevent his reoccurring injury problems definitely he isn't going to enjoy a regular playing time if he had decided to continue playing active football, I wish the best as he embark on another phase of his life, if possible he might consider managerial job offer after completing simet coaching courses just like Lampard, Gerrard, Arteta etc.

Hazard went to Real Madrid. Not the best choice. I mean, we're talking about a guy who was the heart and soul of Chelsea and likely one of the best dribblers in the EPL. Remember the season of 2016/17? Magic from Hazard's past! Real Madrid, though? Geez. We thought he would fill Ronaldo's shoes, but what did we get instead? A string of bad things that happened. Now, I'm very worried about how all these injuries will affect his future, both in sports and in his personal life. Sometimes you have to wonder if Madrid's charm was worth it. I guess that only Hazard knows for sure. Maybe he put his health first, which is a good thing. I'm sure I'd do the same thing!

I won't even be shocked if Pep Guardiola finally converts him to a winger, Palmer is good and I sensed him to be a versatile player.

It was against Sevilla that I know how brilliant he was,  he was the most outstanding player in the match and I wasn't suprised to see him score an equalizer in the match, Manchester City really need to equalize and win and Sevilla's defence was a tough nut to crack but thanks to Palmer's goal that saved City from losing the Super cup trophy, left for me I don't think Pep Guardiola would let such a brilliant player leave the club because he would be very useful to the club in future.
 And due to the injury of Debruyne he could be utilised in that position till he recovers or could come from the bench as a sub, you're right as  well cause he could be converted into another position without much options so as to get playing time for the team and also help him develop into a very good player, i think Palmer would have a better career in Mancity than considering a move to Chelsea all he just needs is patience and  well as fighting for a spot by impressing the coach when given an opportunity.

Arab clubs are also not insisting on Eden Hazard despite being a free transfer player but the way he doesn't like moving to Arabia so he decides to hang up his shoes.
Eden Hazard's youth has passed and he was the brightest when he was at Chelsea but his decision to move to Real Madrid made a complete change in addition to his long injury, maybe he was frustrated all this time? This is just my thought.

Reportedly there is, but there is no specific information on which clubs are interested in recruiting him. It is indeed difficult to predict the contents of Hazard thoughts and decisions regarding his future, but so far there has been no official statement from Hazard that he will choose to retire. As the transfer window closes on 1 September, Hazard is unlikely to play in Europe this season. Previously, Crystal Palace had reportedly been interested in bringing him back to England.

Many reports say that Hazard prefers to retire, due to the injuries he has experienced. I think it's natural that this is the reason, he can enjoy more time with his family.

Fenerbahce are once again in the midst of a busy transfer window. Fenerbahce are likely to sign Alfredo Morelos, former teammate of Ryan Kent from Rangers. Fenerbahce, in need of a striker in case Michy Batshuayi leaves, are planning to replace Batshuayi with Morelos. The player arrived in Istanbul yesterday to speed up transfer talks. In case of his possible transfer to Fenerbahce, I don't think there is anyone who doesn't think like me that he and his former teammate Ryan Kent will be a good fit together. Apart from the transfer of these two players, Crespo is also expected to leave the team. Fenerbahçe, who will not pay Morelos a fee, plans to buy a number "6" player with the fee money from both Crespo and Batshuayi. This is likely to be Arsenal's Thomas Partey.

Yeah injury, it could be as he is the only one who knows about how delicate his situation is. He is more injury prone now and maybe he thinks he doesn't wants to take the risk again so he  might not want to have a stint like at Madrid all back again with injuries at his new club next. It's over now what it is and I guess he made the right decision. We as football fans always seek things differently but it is always hard for the player given their condition.

Eden Hazard retired from international football and he's considering retiring from club football. One single mistake with making the wrong choice and sever3 injuries will make a player ruined his football career. Wondering how a top player fall from top to bottom in his peaks. Eden Hazard is a versatile player but he's no longer consistent in league game and have decline in performance so badly. Real Madrid terminated his contract and he's a free agent this summer, still yet there's no club that is considering signing him. I'm not concluding yet, any club can offer to sign him at the moment.

We all know Eden Hazard is a talented footballer who has contributed a lot to Chelsea and the Belgian national team. but unfortunately when he moved to Real Madrid he was often hit by injuries and lack of regular playing minutes at Real Madrid which had a negative impact on his career.

However, I believe the new option in his career is early retirement. Of course this may not be Eden Hazard's personal wish, but it has been taken into consideration, including family, financial, competitive, and other factors.

But the possibility of a Saudi Arabian club offering a better place, could be an option, and I agree with you, money can change Eden Hazard's decision to retire and return to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

Hazard will be remembered as a legend by Chelsea fans, he has contributed a lot during the 2012-2019 period for the Blues. Moving to Madrid put a damper on his career, he failed to adapt and meet his expectations due to continuous injuries. Postponing retirement and taking the opportunity to go to the SPL is the right option, if you look at his age I think Hazard is still good enough for the next season or two.

Moreover, the SPL is not that competitive when compared to leagues in Europe, this could be a strong reason. Yes, the main factor is that the pay there is also very attractive, their money can delay Hazard's retirement I think.

Regarding Mohammed Kudus i have watching him while he playing with Ghana national team at world cup last year and he was very impressive and skillful so i have no doubt this summer he will linked to several big clubs but i bit surprised because he choose West Ham than Manchester United or Liverpool but recently Mohammed Kudus has heen spoke to the public when he choose West Ham instead of those teams because he likes West Ham long term project which is focused to the development of young players and besides that at West Ham his chances to playing regularly is wide open and West Ham have to spend 45 millions to gets him and he will gets 5 years contract with West Ham

He's pretty much like Sadio Mane who's solo carrying his national team, yeah he might not able to be included in starting line up if he join Manchester United and Liverpool. Since he's still young, he obviously want to learn many thing and develop his skill, this can be a stepping stone for him to join big team and they will consider to put him in starting line up. I hope he will join Arsenal if his performance is good in this season.

Kudus is a successful football player. I have seen and followed the light in it for a long time. I can not say that he is completely ready for the Premier League, but I am sure that he will play very well if he adapts to the Premier league quickly. In addition, his place is not in big teams, it would be more correct for him to stay in a team where he can play in the first 11, at least for this year.

You know Nkunku is out until November after a serious injury. He will miss nearly the whole first half of the season. In the meantime Chelsea have been using Nicolas Jackson in his place. However there is still no other striker who can be relied on in the substitutes now. Because of that Chelsea are still rumoured to have the possibility to sign another striker.

The most recent rumour is Ivan Toney. However what are they planning to do with him now? If you don't know he has got a suspension from playing professional football for 8 months. Because he was detected to be making illegal bets. He will barely be able to be back by mid January and he will need to gain match fitness for a while as well. There is no meaning in Chelsea's signing him now.

[rendravolt]

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Cole Palmer for a fee of £40 million plus add ons of £5 million. I don't understand what Manchester City was thinking by agreeing to the bid made by Chelsea for such a talented young player and we know that oftentimes Cole Palmer can be the key to victory when needed in an important game. What is clear is that Chelsea have now secured his services for quite a long time and Pochettino is certainly happy with the increase in depth in Chelsea's squad for this season. Cole Palmer will soon undergo a medical test in the near future and is just waiting for an official announcement from Chelsea.

However there is still no other striker who can be relied on in the substitutes now. Because of that Chelsea are still rumoured to have the possibility to sign another striker.

Nicolas Jackson has been quite impressive with Chelsea and this is always a duet with Sterling as long as they don't get injured then I think Chelsea can still rely on them as their main starter while waiting for Nkunku to recover, but there are Broja and Washington but they are still not able to start.

The most recent rumour is Ivan Toney. However what are they planning to do with him now? If you don't know he has got a suspension from playing professional football for 8 months. Because he was detected to be making illegal bets. He will barely be able to be back by mid January and he will need to gain match fitness for a while as well. There is no meaning in Chelsea's signing him now.

What is the use of Chelsea buying players with long suspensions that will not be useful in the near future, but I think Chelsea's efforts are now on the midfielder again with Cole Palmer from Manchester City who is rumored to be reaching an agreement soon.

This would be a weird substitute, wouldn't it?

I think not many clubs would consider falling back on a player who has been suspended for quite significant illegal activities. I know everyone should get second chances if nobody was seriously harmed, but we are talking about Chelsea and they should be able to find other, more suitable options. They have to act fast, but they are among the clubs who can afford to pay a premium if they find the right player shortly before the market shuts down.

Nkunku is the player they needed, but now he is no support for them at all. The diagnosis is also not very promising because if a player is out for so long, he might need several months to fully get back into shape.

If the transfer does happen, I'd say Chelsea made a good transfer because Palmer is 21 years old and a talented Englishman in the midfield. It is unlikely that he will be in the squad at Manchester City. Still, he could remain a good substitute for Manchester City, which plays in several tournaments at the same time. I wonder how he will perform if he goes to Chelsea.

Officially‼️ Eden Hazard is set to retire from professional football.
According to the media, the Belgian captain has plans to announce his retirement from professional football at the age of 32. Many clubs have been interested in the signing of Eden Hazard this summer at 32. But he decided to call it a day on his career. It seems that Real Madrid will be his last team in his career.
Eden Hazard has spent four seasons wearing the white shirt, and until now he has been without a team. He has had several offers to continue his career with another team, but it seems that none of them have convinced the striker. At this point in the summer, Hazard would have decided not to listen to any more proposals and hang up his boots.

Am wondering why most strikers at the age of 32 would be hanging their boots when they still have alot to offer in terms of experience that the younger players can get a thing or two...

And for a skillful player like him, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a bad idea just to make bank $$$ then call it a day...whatever is going on could be a decision made out of duress and don't believe he wanted this! If this is true, enjoy your retirement sir.

Yeah, it's weird, especially as surely some of the clubs that wanted him in their squad were European, so they're not the worst offers. The option with Saudi Arabia is like the very last option, or an option to finish his career, to earn money for the last time. Nevertheless, it's his decision, even though it's a strange one
