⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I support Klopp when he said that if Saudi is to level up and be professional, they should follow a unified calendar.
They cannot keep their windows open longer than the English window and other European windows.
They are interested in Salah, if they eventually get him because of their extended window, how will Liverpool have a replacement of Salah.

If MLS finds investors willing to buy players for any amount of money, Klopp will start demanding that the MLS transfer window be the same as the European one? In my opinion, this is just hypocritical whining, because as long as the Premier League remains the richest league in the world, it is better for them to remain silent about any imbalances and injustices.

It seems like all the complaints were mostly coming from EPL. I don't see another league giving criticism to the saudi's transfer. It seems like the people in the different league didn't even care so much regarding the aggressive transfer from saudi pro league. According to the latest reports, EPL still becomes the league with the biggest spender in any season.

This transfer window is over and we had many Saudi teams spending too much money in this summer and many superstar players left European teams to the Arabian team to earn more money there, while compared to the other leagues the teams in La Liga sent less money than we were expecting to see from them.
 
Premier League 2737 million euros
French League 900.64 million euros
Saudi League 846.57 million euros
Serie A 845.66 million euros
Bundesliga 767 million euros
La Liga 432 million euros

If you take into account the budget that has gone out to purchase or transfer European players it is true that the Saudi League is the single biggest spender this season and there is still time for additional transfers because the Saudi League transfer market is still open.
Meanwhile the team that spent the least budget belongs to La Liga and there are no surprises or exciting moves from the La Liga transfer market.

This season is a historical record that top European players prefer to play for Saudi teams over big European teams so there will be big surprises regarding the development of the Saudi League.

So you think it's not a tough problem that will be faced by Kolo playing with PSG in the Francis League, but whether the view of management sees what will happen in the future by bringing Kolo, we don't know whether PSG in the Francis League will be down His performance after the departure of the mega star players.

I think the player will adapt easily that is if he gets the much needed game time. Kolo Muani is not new to league because he played there two seasons ago with Nantes and has an impressive 21 Ligue 1 goals. He switched clubs for a new challenge and went on free transfer to join Frankfurt last summer and scored 15 Bundesliga goals and added 14 assists only him had the highest goal and assist ratio. This adaptability nature of him to cope in every league will help him develop in PSG. But one key factor as I pointed out earlier is the issue of playing time. PSG attack seems star packed at the moment with the likes of Ramos, Asensio and Dembele added to the squad just already coupled with Mbappe there will limit Kolo Muani game time. But one thing that could help him settle in and possibly force is way into that first eleven is his versatility to able to play in any of the three attacking positions and also the role of a second striker. If he gets the much needed time then he will certainly come good

Judging from this side, Kolo Muani deserves priority positions in its performance, significant developments show that their dedication and potential are very large to help PSG to increase their chances of reaching the trophy this season, which seems to be quite difficult in the last few matches. Stars players who are on his squad today are not very influential.

What I am afraid of is Kolo Muani instead becomes a backup and has a little time so that his development will be stopped, the division of Walktu Play certainly happens, Luis Enrique is also impossible to give more time to Kolo when he sees Ramos, Asensio and Dembele which incidentally they are also players who are also players pretty good before like Kolo today.

I support Klopp when he said that if Saudi is to level up and be professional, they should follow a unified calendar.
They cannot keep their windows open longer than the English window and other European windows.
They are interested in Salah, if they eventually get him because of their extended window, how will Liverpool have a replacement of Salah.

Although indeed EPL is the league that conducts the biggest buyer.
But most likely they are very frightened by the development of the windows in the Saudi League which is so very season, if left it might have a bad impact on the turmoil of the players, I think what is conveyed is a form of anticipation in the future if left like this, gradually They will lose players if the Saudi League window is open longer.

What is afraid is that they lose the prestige or popularity of football itself, when this is left, the axis of attention will look at the side of the Saudi League which will certainly reduce the team's income from some of their side businesses.

What makes you so confident that Joao Felix is a good signing? He scored about 1 goal every for games for Atletico Madrid and the same ratio counts for Chelsea. I am not sure whether this is the player that will give Barcelona the final boost to get back to the European top group. In my opinion, this is not going to work for them as Joao Felix is still an average striker at best. It looks nice how he sometimes plays, but what does it help the team when he actually doesn't really score or assist. There are a few very overrated strikers, which is demonstrated by the transfer fees clubs paid for them, and Joao Felix has been one of those overrated players for a long time. He got hyped in one moment and that was it.

Before Joao Felix will join Chelsea, I always think of him as a world class striker that would make a big change to Chelsea after he joins them but as time goes by, little did I know that he is just an overhyped striker that lacks enough experience. Maybe he must have done one or two wonders before that some people think highly of him a good striker but to me he’s still an upcoming striker that still needs vigorous training to be at his best. Atletico Madrid manager despise him and never wanted him in his plan for the season. Now that he founds himself at Barcelona, we’ll wait to see the impact he’s going to add for them there.

But this is where all the issues begin in my opinion because I wonder why all clubs around the world were thinking that Joao Felix is the next best striker in the world? He played well in Portugal but he was still nothing more than a talent with a good score. At that point it should have also been taken into account that the Primeira Liga is different from the other European top leagues although I am not saying that it is a bad league at all. But the Premier League seems to have been a jump that was too big for him and even at Atletico Madrid he couldn't continue the way he played in Portugal.

Barcelona made a costly mistake this summer when they signed Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, perhapes he always records incredible performance in Portugal. I would suggest them to raise additional academy players because Felix is unlikely to make an impact on his debut. Diego Simeone has ruled him out of his plans for this season because he is not adaptable to Los Colchoneros' style of play. Joao Felix was one of Atletico Madrid's few young talents before being loaned to Chelsea to gain experience. A footballer who received a red card on his Stamford Bridge debut. Félix is a competent frontline player, but he struggles to score goals in league games.

Kolo Muani transferred to PSG for 90 million Euro. It's discussed whether this player is worth that much money, but he performed very well last season. He's shown among the stars of the future. He can do with PSG what he did with Eintracht Frankfurt. After all, there is not a big difference between the German league and the French league. PSG did a very good job in my opinion. They have made a very important transfer for the next 5 seasons. PSG needed to make such a transfer after losing their stars. Now we look forward to seeing how he will fit in with Mbappe.

Kolo Muani who has been on PSG’s rader finally completed his move to PSG this summer. Initially Frankfurt were reluctant to letting this deal happen but the player pushed for the transfer. Muani should give them that balance in their attack incase Mbappe decided to leave in January. PSG have made quite some crucial acquisitions this summer to cover up for their top players who departed the club also. The current squad should be good enough to compete at all levels this season.

It hasn't been heard for a long time, now Juan Mata will join Japanese club Vissel Kobe. He left Galatasaray and chose Vissel Kobe as his new home. The former Chelsea and Manchester United player is now about to start a new adventure in the Japanese league and is now 35 years old. I was thinking why he didn't follow the trend like most other European players who went to the Saudi league this season and maybe also because there was no offer for him from the Saudi league team who finally chose to join the Japanese league team. Previously, Andres Iniesta had defended Vissel Kobe for many years and this season it was Juan Mata's turn to make his debut with Vissel Kobe.

They cannot keep their windows open longer than the English window and other European windows.
They are interested in Salah, if they eventually get him because of their extended window, how will Liverpool have a replacement of Salah.
I read that Saudi wants to nominate two clubs to play in the Champions League, if this should work out, they have to have similar calendar with Europe.

As long as Saudi Arabia aren't really serious to be nominated in Champions League, they can still create their own rules.

Klopp say this because he want to make sure Salah will not leave Liverpool, actually this will depend on Salah's decision and no one should intervent his own decision. Klopp don't want to play fair, he should convince Salah to make him stay, not giving pressure to other competitor.

I agree with you that Klopp efforts are as if they were just to keep Mohamed Salah at Liverpool because this player really has a big influence on Liverpool future this season, like a key player that the coach is holding on to stay with this club.
But actually as long as Mohamed Salah still has a contract with the club he cannot make his own decision to accept an offer from any club even though the Saudi Arabian club has made its own claim regarding this transfer but all decisions remain with the club management so Mohamed Salah will not act carelessly regarding the transfer.

The Premier League is complaining because they have a new competitor and are under a lot of pressure both in terms of player prices and salaries. The rest of the leagues don't pay much attention to the Saudis because they have a longstanding problem - the Premier League and the Saudis still have less weight than the Premier League. Saudi Arabia looks like a fair competitor among other leagues, but the Premier League looks like a rich bag full of money:

~
Premier League 2737 million euros
French League 900.64 million euros
Saudi League 846.57 million euros
Serie A 845.66 million euros
Bundesliga 767 million euros
La Liga 432 million euros

Chelsea must have spent around 450 million euros for transfers this summer. However for now there are still serious issues to be seen. Their start to the season isn't impressive at all. They lost to Nottingham home today shockingly. Will we really see a similar scenario this season? Because they spent a lot of money last summer also but the result of it wasn't positive.

It is early to talk about such things of course. However I'm worried about their future games already as I have seen this bad scenario before.

I hope the team improve their effort as soon as possible. Nkunku's absence is felt so much. Jackson signing hasn't been beneficial for Chelsea yet.

Chelsea cannot save money in every transfer window. Where they also did crazy things in last season's transfer window and this continues in this summer's transfer window. I think they are taking a big gamble by buying players with high price tags but their abilities haven't been tested enough so far.

Chelsea even released some of their best players this season, such as Pulisic, where he showed impressive quality with AC Milan and also a number of other high-quality players who were released by Chelsea. Well, Chelsea have just reaped bad results after they were beaten in front of their supporters. It is quite difficult to imagine their fate this season, the players are increasingly under pressure and their new coach has not been successful enough so far.

Personally I don't expect a instant turn around of Chelsea by Pochettino unfortunately many of their fans wanted an immediate impact and positive result having considered £450m spent on signing new players this season, I think Pochettino should be given enough time to rebuild the team of course they have some prospects and promising talented young players in their squad, Sterling, Chilwell and Tiago Silva were the old and experience players in the squad therefore it's going to take time for the new signings to be integrated into team, of course they team isn't playing badly unfortunately luck isn't on their side in some of the matches they had played and their final third has been very wasteful in front of goal.

The way every club is spending right now they should give instant results to be honest. Chelsea is spending a lot of money. I know that is not how it works. A coach definitely needs time to actually find the best tactics for any team. But with the amount of money they are spending, the team should be performing really well by default.

I am pretty sure that if a good coach like Zidane or maybe even Guardiola actually got the chance to manage Chelsea, they would have done a better job in my opinion. I am still going to blame the coach if with this much options and money, they cannot win matches, they are definitely just wasting money.

I think that Chelsea is a special case because they are spending more in a short period of time than has ever been spent by any other club and this is why I agree that they should usually expect instant results. But it is quite the opposite and things are getting worse after every match.

As for the spending level in general, I believe that inflation has also hit the football world and the trend was set when once Neymar changed clubs for over 200 million euros. And of course there are now also the clubs from the Saudi Professional League which are making the prices climb in an unprecedented manner. I think that there won't be a ceiling anytime soon to those price increases because the clubs from Saudi Arabia will keep going like this. That will make the price level for players at least remain where it is now and probably make it increase further.

A coach definitely needs time to actually find the best tactics for any team. But with the amount of money they are spending, the team should be performing really well by default.

If the results are still bad, it means that it is not much different from last season's coach who brought Chelsea even further down. I think so far Mauricio Pochettino has also made a lot of decisions that are quite wrong, buying players that are not too dangerous or he has forgotten that competition in the Premier League is different from competition in France. Then when the policy of selling Chelsea players which was almost 95% did not guarantee that Chelsea would recover better. The fans demand that this season Chelsea must be able to finish in the top 5. But I think that's still not enough.

Mauricio Pochettino's decisions have been a talking point for sure. Some of the player acquisitions might not have been as impactful as hoped, and it's true that the Premire League is a unique and challenging environment compared to the French league. The styles of play, the intensity, and the level of competetion are all on a different scale.

As for the target of finshing in the top 5, it might be seen as the minimum requirement by some, but you're absolutely right to think that it's not enough. Chelsea has a rich tradition of competing at the highest level, and supporters naturally want to see the team back in contention for titles. It's all about aiming for the top and striving for excellence. Maybe we just hope again for upcoming season eh?

I keep telling people the same thing; Chelsea overspent. When you buy a 30 million player for 60 million dollars then you are going to look like you spent a lot but you will not get that much return. For example Caicedo was worth 55 million euros by March or so last year, and now looks 75 million euro obviously because of the transfer, and they spent over 115 million euros for him. This is a dude that was 55 million euro just a few months ago, and they overspent 60 million on him. Their whole transfer window is filled with things like this, and because of that they got players that is way less valued than what they spent. It looks like they spent a lot to be good, but the results are based on what the players are valued, not what you spend on them. So, obviously results are not coming.

Félix is a competent frontline player, but he struggles to score goals in league games.

He hasn't even made his Barcelona debut yet. It would be so unfair, if we don't give him a chance. only then, we can assess it. IMO, Felix is ​​a player who can play in multiple positions. he is usually played on the left wing, right and even as a center forward. When he played in the Premier League, his performance did not shine, at the same time he played with the Chelsea squad which was experiencing a decline in overall performance.

After returning to Atletico, Simeone did not give him the opportunity to enter the main squad. Atletico want to sell him in the transfer window this summer, unfortunately not many clubs are willing to spend that much. with the exception of clubs from the Saudi Pro League. now, he is a Barcelona player. after Ansu fati was loaned to Brighton, Barcelona lacked players on the left wing despite still having Ferran Torres. Felix's presence could be an option for Xavi to play on the wing. because for the center forward, Barcelona still relies on Lewandowski.
well, to make sure whether he can play well with Barcelona, ​​we will find out after he has played match after match with La Blaugrana.

We didn't expect the impact to be immediately but atleast he should show the fans what he's trying to do instead of acting clueless, why make same mistakes multiple times and think he'll get a different results. We have wingers that we bought with money, why don't he play them instead of playing a wingback as a winger, chilwell mentality is about defending and not attacking and that's why he isn't doing anything with the ball when he attacks, I thought we just bought Cole Palmer from Manchester city, why wasn't he played on the wing instead of playing chilwell. We also have Mudrky that you can start so he begin to gain confidence, you can't be starting a player or substituting him into the game on time yet expect him to deliver whenever you need his service. Pochettino has all the time in the world but he need to start giving us a reason to trust him to make the right decisions.

Their whole transfer window is filled with things like this, and because of that they got players that is way less valued than what they spent.

Liverpool are the reason why we bought Caicedo that costly and when players are overbought, they're under too much pressure to perform and that always affect the player. Chelsea was trying not to overpay for the player but Liverpool came in to attempt to hijack the deal and since the player rejected Liverpool, it only make sense we match the bill and sign him that costly. Chelsea has spent so much in this transfer window so Pochettino needs to get his shit together and start delivering results that'll be worth the money we have spent in the transfer window. It isn't like we don't have players because we do have players but the coach isn't utilizing them very well. If this continues then I think we have to start calling for the sack of Pochettino and get a better manager before it gets late and we'll be left with him for the rest of the season.

It is true that the European transfer window has closed, while the transfer window for the Saudi Pro Legue has not yet closed. The SPL still has time until September 20, this is what made Jurgen Klopp angry and commented on this policy. -snip-

Regulations that are different from those in Europe should have an impact on recruitment for the Saudi Arabian team. Since there is no transfer window in Europe anymore, even if the Saudis reached an agreement with the team and player, Its mean the club have to wait until the middle of the season or the winter transfer window? So, even coaches shouldn't have to worry, at least until mid-season in the winter transfer market.

I thought that now players can actually sign contracts with another club while the transfer window is closed. I am not sure, but I hope someone can confirm this.

As far as I know, a player can actually sign a new contract with a new club and keep playing for the club that he is currently playing for. And when the transfer window opens again, he will be able to join the new club. But I don’t know how this is going to work when for one club the transfer window is open and for another, it is closed.

450 million euros just for this season, if you add it to last season, it is more than a thousand million euros that even exceeds the club's valuation based on this website, indeed its credibility is quite doubtful but at least Chelsea has become a club that is really wasteful in the last two seasons in the transfer market, and they only judge players from market value that's why they have never been constrained to continue to spend money on a player who shouldn't even be worth that much

This seasons, even though they managed to sell several of their players, this club was the one who wasted the most. Indeed, it will always take time to build a club from scratch but not by losing to a team that is not even considered will be able to beat them and it will happen in their own stadium, because if a team fails to get full points at home matches it will be even more difficult to do so in away matches.
It could be that Chelsea's defeat was not due to luck but the coach's lack of insight in changing strategy when they was behind.

Chelsea might able to get a less price for him if the club was just trying to agree with the first offer by brighton. The mistake has been on the management of the club which is waiting too long to take the final decision.
The same thing was also happening when chelsea bought another player as well. Buying player is actually gambling. The player can perform good or bad depending on how convenient him in the club.
This is the bad habit owned by chelsea. The club is also feeling so hesitant in picking the new coach as well. It's affecting the performance from the club.
I remember when chelsea was changing its coach three times in a row last season.

I support Klopp when he said that if Saudi is to level up and be professional, they should follow a unified calendar.
They cannot keep their windows open longer than the English window and other European windows.
They are interested in Salah, if they eventually get him because of their extended window, how will Liverpool have a replacement of Salah.
I read that Saudi wants to nominate two clubs to play in the Champions League, if this should work out, they have to have similar calendar with Europe.

Turkish clubs see this period as an opportunity to buy players that the big clubs want to offload but can't find a buyer for. Moreover, it is possible to make a cheaper transfer during this period. Because a player who is not considered in the squad and will be left as a substitute creates both an unnecessary salary burden and unrest within the team because he does not play. The transfer season in Turkiye will end on the 15th of this month. I think this is an advantage for us. And most good transfers are made in this period. And the last days of the transfer are always more active. For example, Galatasaray are getting ready to sign a player who plays in the number 8 position.
