⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[emrecemsan]

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.

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

There are of course now rumors popping up everywhere that Mbappe might be transferred to Real Madrid for 120m euros. But I am quite confused because didn't they say that Real Madrid already offered over 200m euros a few weeks ago? And to be honest 120m euros would be quite cheap if you think about the prices that other clubs asked for their players. Mbappe's character might be questionable, but as a player there aren't many like him. If he joins the right team with the right atmosphere, this could be crazy. A Real Madrid team with Mbappe would be quite different than without him. There aren't many players who can make Real Madrid better, but he can.

I wonder how he will perform if he goes to Chelsea.

I don't understand why Chelsea would be interested in signing this player I checked his game statistics last season but do not see anything special, he played 14 games and only contributed with 1 assist. Besides that, I think $40 million is a high price even though he is considered a young player but his capacity has not been tested, maybe Mauricio Pochettino saw something in him that we don't know but I personally think it risks wasting money and burdening the club, I hope I'm wrong.

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.

Currently there is no other choice for Erik Ten Hak but to wait for Hojlund to recover from injury and several trial schemes carried out by the coach none of which ended well even though it didn't look so bad. Martial has not been at his best so he is on the sale list and Rashford is more developed playing on the left wing instead of in the center striker. It will be interesting to see how Hojlund will perform after recovering from injury and whether he can improve with Ten Hak's strategy or will follow his partner Martial.

I think when we flashback to the previous few weeks where the initial statement was that Hojlund might be out for 3 weeks I think it's now possible that he has fully recovered and can play against Arsenal this week but there is still no further confirmation on this and the hope is of course that he can compete so that their attacking line has additional ammunition.
On the other hand, I saw some reports that Manchester United are not planning to bring in new players even though some players are still in the treatment room because besides Hojlund they are currently missing Malacia, Shaw, Mount and Varane but they will miss out on bringing new players to Old Trafford.

Pavard is now almost officially a player of Inter.

This will be the most expensive player bought from Serie A this season, 30m €.


 

Serie A is one of the poorest league atm.

The transfer looks good to me for both the player and the teams. Cole palmer have not had the chance to fixture in most matches throughout his time in City, it's better to let him go at such a profitable amount of £40 .
And at Chelsea there's certainty that under pochettino palmer will be having  a playing time as he currently makes the fourth winger into the club this season. He's very young 21 of age with a great career ahead of him, so not bad signing for Chelsea

This price is considered very expensive.
According to Transfermarkt, Palmer's price is only £15.5 M. Chelsea is inflating the entire market.
My concern is that Chelsea is willing to spend £45m on him, What has he done?
For £45M that's a crazy price. But again, the market is now crazy.

The decision made by Hazard must have been carefully thought through because he has often been injured and most likely he doesn't want to harm his new team by the injuries that often come to him. Of course he is still quite young because Messi and Ronaldo are older than him but they is still able to play, of course this is factored in by his strong physique.

He has given a good game with chelsea in his golden era and he found a problem with real madrid due to frequent injuries. Maybe that's the best story and memory he will always remember. I also wish him success if Hazard changes profession after announcing his retirement as a football player.

Well, City have become so confident about their dominance in England that they don't even mind selling their players to a direct rival, they did it last season, sold Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko to Arsenal, yet City still won the league, now they have sold one very talented player who made it out of their academy to Chelsea, we'd see if it matters at the end of the season.

Pep Guardiola likes a really small squad and he does not like to keep players who are unhappy, i think that's part of the reason why Palmer has moved to Chelsea, and i wish him luck. Having said that, Chelsea are buying too many players, i'm pretty sure it would be a headache for Pochettino to manage all these players.

Man City actually needs Cole Palmer on the squad because De Bruyne is injured for a long time. Man City has Bernardo Silva and Cole Palmer for the replacement for De Bruyne. While Oscar Bobb seems still not an appropriate replacement because he is just promoted from Man City U18 and has no experience on the main squad. If Man City will lose Cole Palmer, they will only Bernardo Silva for an attacking midfield. It is too risky to rely on 1 player on the crucial position for the whole season. I'm also surprised with Man City, this won't be a wise idea to accept the bid from Chelsea. Also £40 million seems quite expensive price, but it will make Man City in the crisis of the players on the attacking midfield position. I hope Man City will buy a top attacking midfield if they really sell Cole Palmer to Chelsea.

For £45M that's a crazy price. But again, the market is now crazy.

That's what makes us wonder the price is more than 2x its market value while the performance is mediocre is Chelsea trying to see the future?
The deal has been taken let's see what can be given to Chelsea although I doubt the price doesn't match the performance  
I think if he doesn't perform as expected Chelsea can let him go for 1/2 the price.

The lad already has the foundation and has worked with a good coach ( Josep Pep Guardiola ) Now it's time for him to spread his wings and shine.
He shouldn't have left after the same of IIkay Gundogan and the Injured De Brunye K. I felt like he should be of major support to the squad since they lack this players, but Pep Guardiola has finally got the balls to let him go. He'll sure be a great in for Chelsea that's only of his uesd correctly.

Excited for Benjamin Pavard even though he ain't involved with the movement to Manchester United finally. I always wished he was the signed defender for the club.
Other league's are inflating the market price. Let's be

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.

Now WestHam seems to be the right choice for Mohammed Kudus and it is also his dream to play in the Europa League. even though he missed Manchester United and Liverpool, it didn't make Kudus regret it. He is a talented player and yes, as you said, he is similar to Sadio Mane who played solo for the national team. But regarding your predictions about whether he is suitable for Arsenal, we can only see how his game develops. If he becomes a productive player then other big clubs will be increasingly interested.

Cole Palmer is a good attacking midfielder at Manchester City and I think he is really worth being priced at. I think if there was a crazy transfer value about Chelsea, then I would say it was when they brought in Moises Caicedo for 116 million euros and Roméo Lavia for more than 60 million euros. Both are defensive midfielders who shouldn't be worth that much, but Chelsea made the deal.

I wouldn't say Cole Palmer's transfer to Chelsea which touched the 45 million euro mark was an expensive transfer, but it was worth it for the quality he has as he proved with Manchester City.
