⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shogun47]

Would you agree or do you think Chelsea and PSG would have been all the same with Guardiola coaching them (all else equal)?

No they wouldn't be the same with their present form. Having money is another thing and how to spend and manage your money is another thing differently.
Gaurdiola is an expereience coach that knows what he needs,we have seen how he has converted Man city into a great club and the strongest presently because he has the skill and knowledge of doing that. PSG is a rich club also with Chelsea but the lack the quality of a good coach. Buying the right players at the right time is what matters alot. Chelsea will be doing better and might have even won EPL if it was Gaurdiola that was their coach,same with PSG. Behind every successful club there must be a great coach and not money. Though.money can turn things around but that is when there is a good manager to make it happen.

That is what I think, too. I don't think that the coaches PSG had were really bad, but Tuchel was good and couldn't do much, Pochettino is average, and Gaultier I don't know really what to think about him.

But I am sure that if Guardiola had ever coached the best PSG team they had in recent years, they would have had a much higher chance of being way more dominant in every single competition and they would have a different squad. He would have added some decisive players on some positions and he would have taken care of a well balanced team.

It's possible for any coach if a team is willing to give them a chance for a few seasons instead of just 1 or 2 seasons. Manchester City gave Pep Guardiola many opportunities and they also put a lot of faith in Pep by following his wishes and plans every season, as a result Pep Guardiola really succeeded in proving that.

Every trainer can experience the same thing if they get good support financially and stay longer. At PSG there is a lot of pressure especially because they have set high targets every season in the Champions League. Not a single coach has won that title for PSG yet, but Luis Enrique has a chance to do so if the two things I said are fulfilled by PSG.

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

It's one thing to give a manager an opportunity to try make up for his mistakes or prove himself worthy and it's another thing for the manager to live up to expectations, for instance Manchester gave Pep chances to prove himself and he did by winning the Premier league which made the to back him up with more funds to get more required players to help him strengthen his team based on the fact that he's lived up to their expectations and fulfilled what's demanded of him.
 But there are some managers that even with the right backings and opportunities given to them they won't really have good performance and might even end up making wrong decision that would cause a destruction in the dressing room, so what I'm trying to say is that it takes a good experienced coach with talent like Pep to come  into a club and make a difference.

At the moment João Félix is only dreaming of playing for Barcelona, which he ones said that they've been his drean club and he'll really want to play for the club, but the problem with Barcelona is the financial crisis and currently holding the club if not xavi would really love to have him in the club he'll make a good addiction to the squad depth and easily get into the starting 11 making a good replacement for Dembelé.
 But i believe if they don't end up getting him today, then he'll likely move to the Epl before the window ends tonight, probably return back to Chelsea where he was loaned last season, he performed well in the team despite their poor form and now they have a better coach in think it would be lovely to watch him play under Pochettino who's a better coach with more experience than the previous ones after Tuchel.

I think it seems like Joao Felix was thinking about money but I don't know if this is true or not because his desire to go to the Barca club at that time surprisingly changed when some other clubs tried to make higher offers and for me if Joao Felix only thought about money he could have gone to Arabia Saudi received an offer from one of the clubs there to get a bigger salary than having to be confused about where he will go, while now the transfer market is closing soon and whether he will only stay at the holding club, namely Atletico Madrid.

reference from Revalo, at this point, Barca and Atletico were asked to reach an understanding and negotiations have begun, to close the transfer. Cules view the operation with reasonable optimism and the belief that it will close this Friday. Barca, with the departure of Dembele and Ansu Fati, needs to strengthen its attack line, Xavi's priority and Joao Cancelo's right-back position.

From the same page, Jorge Mendes and Joan Laporta, who show understanding in this market, and Ansu Fati's departure to Brigthon opens the door for Joao Felix to Barca, because the salary gap left by his departure is also relevant.
However, approaching the close of this summer's transfer market, there is no news regarding Joao Felix's report to Barcelona. other rumors, there is talk of other possibilities. it looks like he left for Saudi Arabia or returned to Benfica, or rejoined Chelsea, because towards the end of the closing the rumors intensified regarding Joao Felix. Well, to be sure, we'll see after this transfer window closes.

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

Exactly, but going to Union Berlin isn’t much of a decline like other players with same age group as him without club. In fact Union Berlin had a fantastic season last season and will be competing in the champions league this season. This is another chance for Bonucci to have a short at the trophy again. I feel like Allegri is making a mistake by sending him away, Juventus has FFP on its tale and can’t sign new players just yet so this isn’t time to send away your current players. Although some how I don’t blame them because of the wages these players incur.


In another news Manchester United have agreed deal in principle to loan Tottenham left back Sergio Reguillion. The player is set to undergo is medical tomorrow and could also be involved on Sunday for the trip to play Arsenal. Cucurrella deal fell off because of the loan fee and the lack of buy clause. United do not want that because they feel both Malacia and Shaw will be back soon and just a temporary replacement is needed

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

Juventus loses another important player in the backlines, definitely hugh loss for them. Allegri Massimiliano will definitely scouts out his replacement and fixed his squad in the appropriate order. The experience defender finally make crucial decisions this summer, parting ways with bianconeri and rewriting his new chapter in another competitive club. Leonardo Bonucci signs for Union Berlin today, contracts valid until June 2024 with  an option to further season been included in the deal. It's entirely good development for Bonucci, he's keen on making another stellar performance in his new club.

But hey this is Chelsea and don't get too weird about it because we've also seen absurd transfers from Mudryk before so why feel weird when they dare to pay a high price for Cole Palmer
He is indeed still one of the pretty good young players for Manchester City especially when he became the winner in the European Super Cup which made his name a little glimpsed.
The deal happened very quickly and it seems that Chelsea did not want to waste time in the remaining time they have at this time especially since the transfer season will be closed in a few days so that even this big offer was immediately agreed by Chelsea.

Sometimes transfer fee depends on the existing contract between the player and the club and to permanently purchase the player you will have to pay to cover up for the number of years remaining in the players contract. Palmer maybe underrated because of lack of enough playing time, you don’t expect him to have playing time with Mahrez, Bernado and Grealish all playing same position with him. He is good and the quality is there but he needs to be in a team where he will have more playing time so he can show the world what he is capable of doing. In my opinion I don’t think the price is too high because he is young and he plays in a big team. Chelsea are currently investing in young players which is a good thing and despite paying high transfer fee they always make sure the players sign for a long period, most of the players signed 8 year’s contracts which in my opinion is a good business.

Chelsea had a reason to buy him with such price. In fact, the club really needs a new centre forward at this moment. Jackson is not enough caused by his teammates were injured. Broja has not yet recovered from his injury. I can even understand the main reason why chelsea was signing him. he is far better rather than signing balogun from arsenal. I really support him to go to the chelsea. he will pay off his price.

I know Palmer can play anywhere in attacks but I think he will be best suited to play as a winger rather than a center forward. He score goals and he is a decent attacker and he can actually be used as an alternative for Jackson and Broja. If not for the injury crisis happening in the team currently I don’t think they would have signed any more player but with a lot of players out injured it will be better to have alternatives.

Does Manchester United need to watch the performance of Cucurella before they will know his capabilities and deficiencies?
We have been together in this England and every true football lover will attest that the best of Cucurella was in Brighton.
Cucurella has been a shadow of himself in Chelsea since he arrived under Graham Potter.
I sincerely believe that Manchester United scout needs to be questioned.
Their business for the past 4 seasons in the transfer window has been totally unprofitable.

I was disappointed when i heard Manchester United have shown interest to sign Cucurella but i was happy as a chelsea fan because i know abilities of this player and for a rival team to sign him it will be a win win for us. I wanted the deal to happen fast because i don’t like the fact that i will be seeing him in my team for the rest of the season. He has failed to impress since joining chelsea and the fact that we pay a huge sum to get him was what I don’t like. I am disappointed in Manchester United’s scout, is it that they don’t watch him when he plays or maybe they still think he is still the same Cucurella they know in Brighton. Chelsea coach shouldn’t have played him yesterday so they wouldn’t have seen his play and we could have succeeded in offloading him to United.

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

His move to Union Berlin was definitely not without reason and even though he looks like a villain now but his long contribution to Juventus, all fans will surely give up on him. I think that's quite natural, especially since he is no longer young and the club has certainly considered his departure. What's more, he has never had minutes to play, so surely Allegri and Bonucci know very well the current conditions.

[Docnaster]

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

I've seen several players who spent majority or their entire playing career for just one club and were still at their best and respected till whenever they decided to call it a quit in their career and that's why I totally not in consonance with your opinion.
Leonardo Bonucci has been a very important member of the Juventus squad over the years and was part of the Juventus side that eight in a row with the Bianconeri between the 2011/12 season and 2019/20 season. His decision to leave the club now doesn't make him a villain in Juventus

[BRINIRHA]

I see no wrong with Chelsea's signing of Cole Palmer with such an amount of money, Despite him being young so far he's equal to the task or lived up to expectations. The player is young, skilled, and has a promising future, Several times I watched him being featured in some Manchester City games his performances were exciting, and right now based on Chelsea's current situation and the urge to further boost its squad and coupled with the number of injuries that the team has experienced just in the starting this season, no club will hesitate to bring in a player of his caliber.

Caring much on the amount clubs spend on signing new good players doesn't really sound well to me because if you look deeply you will see that those players bring more to the table for those clubs even that will exceed the signing fees and the Saudi Arabian club sides are making good use of those chances of buying good players with huge amount since their are convinced that the player will bring more for their clubs and we can see the result of those signing from the results that are coming out from there.

Chelsea have been on the verge of breaking down in the last few seasons back and that is big a problem for the club,  and If signing the player could change the faith of the club in this season then it is a welcome development and from Chelsea's recent performance it shows that the club is really on the cause of making new history if the efforts and skills of the players are fairly utilized.

Although there are still some doubts that I also have about Chelsea's overall performance this season. But I think I'm pretty sure that slowly Chelsea will improve. Mauricio Pochettino looks believable at the moment. Even though at the beginning of his arrival he made steps that surprised everyone. Because he continues to release many good players from the Chelsea squad. But then Chelsea started buying some players. And the results are starting to look good in pre-season. One of Chelsea's recruits, Christopher Nkunku, makes Chelsea look sharp in attack. It's just very unfortunate that Christopher Nkunku had to be injured and made Chelsea have to immediately bring in a new player to replace his position temporarily until he recovered. But somehow every purchase Chelsea have made this season seems to be a good one. Because Pochettino seems to have a good observation of the potential of a player he brings in.

[Velvet78]

Al Ittihad continue to increase the amount they are offering to Liverpool. But there is still not a positive answer by Liverpool. They just want to keep him for the season. But next summer they might change their mind on this topic. Because Salah will have one year left on his contract and they might not convince Salah for another extension maybe.

Therefore after this season we can really see him signing for a Saudi Arabia team. It would be really sensible for Liverpool to sell him like that while they can make a lot of money from his transfer fee. Saudi Arabia teams are already eager to splurge on these stars.

[Alpha Marine]

It's looking like it's going to be another deadline day with plenty of drama for Barcelona. They have agreed on the Cancelo deal but it has not been finalized yet.
They are also trying to get a loan deal done for Joao Felix and that may be a little difficult because of the player's salary. Atletico wants Barca to pay the full salary but Barca is hoping to come to some arrangement.
Fati deal has been done and Abde would be next. That should free up space in the FFP rule for the signing that Barcelona hopes to get done on deadline day.

I see no wrong with Chelsea's signing of Cole Palmer with such an amount of money, Despite him being young so far he's equal to the task or lived up to expectations. The player is young, skilled, and has a promising future, Several times I watched him being featured in some Manchester City games his performances were exciting, and right now based on Chelsea's current situation and the urge to further boost its squad and coupled with the number of injuries that the team has experienced just in the starting this season, no club will hesitate to bring in a player of his caliber.

Palmer for 45M is cool?
I agree he has potential, he's a great kid who also has an eye for goals, but what has he done? Has he proved himself? Has he made it to the first team? Is he even a regular in the first team?
You can't just splash money on a young player because he's got potential, there's a lot of young players with potential out there. Or is that why Chelsea is signing so many young players?
More than half of those young players will fail at Chelsea and they will be sold for less than the price and that's a loss.

It's good to sign young and promising players, but you don't have to always break the bank for it and you can't go for every young and talented player out there.

Reportedly according to local news at this time after 150 million was ignored Al Ittihad will try for 200 million as an offer for Salah.
This is really a crazy price and now it depends on Liverpool whether they are ready to lose one of their star figures for that much money or not because the EPL transfer closes soon and I think when Liverpool agree then Salah's position will be vacant until the winter transfer opens later.
But on the other hand I still feel that Liverpool will not do something like that because even though Salah's contract is not long but for now it is still a risk for them to be able to compete in the EPL because Salah is still one of the important players for them at this time.

Theoretically, Al-Ittihad and Salah (he seems to want to move to the Saudi League) have 20 more days to convince Liverpool to agree to a transfer. The transfer window in Saudi Arabia closes later than in most European countries. But the likelihood that Liverpool will agree is close to zero - now they can not replace Salah with another big transfer until the winter window (actually until the summer).

The amount of money that these Saudi teams are ready to spend is absolutely ridiculous, they don't even mind that they are spending this money on players that are above 30 years of age, i'm pretty sure if Liverpool had a competent replacement for Mo Salah, they would have sold him to this Saudi team and made quite a lot of money, but they can't sell Salah right now, or else they'll have another terrible season like last season.

Having said that, we can't really be sure if they'll come for Salah next summer, it all depends on a number of factors; it'd be interesting to see how far the Saudi league will come by next summer, they have great stars in the league right now, they should have a very competitive season ahead.

Their business for the past 4 seasons in the transfer window has been totally unprofitable.

Another aspect I discovered that Manchester United is contemplating is the significant expense associated with the loan and salary fee for Cucurrella, which surpasses 7 million pounds. The club already contends with substantial salaries for its top players, all while being mindful of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Nuno Taverns have completed a loan move to Northingham Forest.Arsenal were looking forward to trumming their squad as they brought back some of their loaned players to be part of the team this season.Arsenal already have several players that can play at left back where Nuno was playing,ad as such,he was Arsenal's fourth choice,falling behind Zinchenko,Kiwior,and Tomiyasu.It was the best thing for him to leave Arsenal and go out to seek first team Football that is why Arsenal included an obligation to buy in the deal.

Nuno is a very good player going forward and his addition to the forest squad is a big boost to them.

Obviously, Al Ittihad is putting Liverpool under pressure but they can make a player stop thinking about Al Ittihad but when we are talking about a huge of money, there is the possibility for the team to change their mind and even sell their superstar Salah to this team, However other than Salah, Al Ittihad wants another more play from Liverpool.

I think you are talking about Nuno Tavares. Yes, he is definitely a good player. He will definitely give the Nottingham Forest squad a big boost in terms of confidence. He is definitely going to make the defense stronger. And even for a defender, he does score a few goals. He is definitely going to be a good addition for the Nottingham Forest squad. I know that Nottingham Forest really needs to improve a lot because they somehow avoided relegation this season. So this is a good step towards the improvement that they need.
