⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Woodie]

Hansi Flick was fired as Germany coach after the humiliating defeat against Japan. For Germany's next match against France in a friendly match, the German Football Federation (DFB) will show Rudi Voller.
Regarding Flick, perhaps many of us have heard this news.

I dont think this was the best course of action for a team that is just ushering in a new crop of younger players!!!

Besides, most of our leagues just started and I dont think these guys have gotten the fittness to get the desired results, and looking at the back line..this looks like a team that just doesnt have the team chemistry as the old Germany team that had the likes of Dante, Manuel Neuer & other big names retired or missed out!!

And you know what they say, "It's always darkest before the dawn" so these results need to happen so that the team knows what to work on and then team building will happen, but if they choose to skip this stage then all coaches coming here will likely be sacked for not getting the desired results because they havent allowed the team building to take its course.. otherwise the Japanesse were superb against the Germany's !

Arsenal are preparing steps to extend the contract of their captain, Martin Ødegaard, in the near future. If we look at his contract ends in 2025 and that only leaves 2 seasons from now for him to stay at Arsenal. Of course, Arsenal does not want to lose the services of this player from Norway and wants to immediately extend his contract so that no other top European team dares to touch him. As a creative midfielder, we know that there will definitely be a lot of interest and also abundant offers from top European teams to sign Martin Ødegaard. That is why Arsenal must immediately discuss a new contract extension so that the player is more comfortable staying at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal will be protested by whole of its fans if the club would be unwilling to extend his contract. The main mission from arsenal to keep him in the as long as arsenal can. He can be considered as an asset for arsenal.
He has not yet ever reached his golden time. Odegaard is still having a lot of time to perform even better and gain more experience from playing together with arsenal.

Emirates stadium was his home. He will never leave there till the club will be wanted him to leave. It reminds me of de bruyne in manchester city.
Arsenal had him as playmarker while city has de bruyne as someone who is very valuable to the club all time.

[Franctoshi]

It seems that this is the first time in German history that a coach has been immediately fired after experiencing a defeat because if you remember the track record of the coaches who have led Germany, they have always resigned with honor. So it makes sense why Germany finally chose to fire Flick.

The German football board made the right decision by sacking Flick because the current German team is a mess under his watch, and if you check for about two decades plus, starting from the year 2000 down here, I can't recall vividly finding the German team in this current state of poor performance if I'm not wrong both in the World Cup and other competitions.

Another rumor circulates, that after the embarrassing defeat to Japan, the Germany team is now looking for coaching options such as Pep Guardiola and Nagelsmann. In my opinion, if Pep is interested, maybe in the future Germany's game can be even better, but I also agree that Nagelsmann was chosen because he has shown some good results for the German squad.

I don't really see Pep Guardiola's interest in taking the job of coaching any national team anytime soon, Having just lifted the Champions League trophy with Manchester City lately, I think his mind is a bit relaxed spending more years at City right now than going for another job.

It seems that Germany's performance has indeed looked bad in recent years. After failing at the euros and switching to Flick 25 games, Flick "only" won 12 times. I think his dismissal is quite rational. In addition, losing 4-1 to Japan was a nightmare. Germany rightly played badly.

Germany's mentality is no longer the usual one that is known as a regular team in the final.
Flick's presence as Germany coach since August 2021 was thought to bring positive changes, but apparently not. He couldn't do as much as was given to Bayern Munich.
You are right, Luzin, that the sacking of Flick was quite rational considering that Germany needed the right person to be able to bring them back as a team that is a regular in finals, both in Europe and in the world cup.

There are rumours Rangnick is ready to replace Flick and the German may also make an offer for Klopp.

Rangnick? I don't think he is the right person to replace Hansi Flick. It's better to entrust it to Rudi Voller permanently, at least during the EURO cup event.

snip

Poland still has a chance to qualify because the difference in points with the teams above them is two, they must win all the remaining matches.
There is no news yet about Santos' replacement, the new Polish coach will have a tough task in qualifying for the European Cup.

Group E is still fiercely competitive. I'm pessimistic that Poland can qualify even though you said they still have a chance of qualifying because the difference in points with Albania is only two because the Czechs, who have 8 points and are in second place, still have 1 more match they haven't played.

snip

I don't understand why he keep let Havertz to play as center forward when he can't score anything. Although the current generation German don't have a pure striker, it's better to use Gnabry and Sane as a second striker.

Gnabry and Sane as striker, while Kimmich, Musiala, Muller and Gundongan as a midfielder, I believe German would be strong than the current line up.

I think that is where Flick's weakness lies in seeing the players he entrusts to be included in the squad.
If Flick is good at strategy, he can monitor every player when they play at the club so he can understand where his players are best positioned when playing for Germany.

I don't really see Pep Guardiola's interest in taking the job of coaching any national team anytime soon, Having just lifted the Champions League trophy with Manchester City lately, I think his mind is a bit relaxed spending more years at City right now than going for another job.

Actually if we look around, most of great coaches are coaching a club than national team, except he want to accept double job to coaching both club and national team. I think it's because national team play less than a club and this will affect about his salary as there's an incentive of every match.

Since Pep is one of great coach, I don't think he will coaching England except he's really want to get world cup trophy.

I've seen the previous games of Germany and I must conclude, they're far behind their opponents. I don't just get it, they have quality players that are absolutely doing good in club levels but these players can't proof themselves when it comes to international games. Germany have relieved Hansi Flick of his duties as the team's headcoach following their terrible defeats against Japan whose scores was 4-1. It's a good step that the squad will probably hanged around and scout out for good improvement. Hansi Flick have made Germany performance decline over the past games, it's bad news for the coach.

It would be great if Mbappe went to Real Madrid.

Signing Mbappe to Los Blancos will be a very good idea and i am still suprised why the move haven’t happened yet. Mbappe to Real Madrid will just be like having Ronaldo back at the club because Mbappe will definitely bring back Ronaldo vibes to the club and they will easily dominate both La Liga and the champions league. This move will help both parties, the possibility of Mbappe to win major trophies will increase and also his presence in the team will make them dominant over their opponents.

Mbappe has finally decided he wants to join Madrid so by the end of the season (Next summer) the deal will be finalized. I can’t wait to see him in Madrid shirts.

Given the level of player Mbappe is now, he certainly deserves a quality club where he can unleash his full potential and earn some personal achievements as a reward for his talent. If Mbappe is thinking of moving to a quality club then the best club for him would be Real Madrid.  Real Madrid I think is the best club ever for Mbappe. Real Madrid is a club that if Mbappe joins, Mbappe will become a more attacking player. Even though Mbappe has done well at PSG, he is getting nothing but money from PSG in return for that good work. If Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, he can easily achieve the achievements he has not yet achieved in Europe. There are very few players in the position Mbappe is in right now so it will be much easier for him to achieve these feats.

Perfect call they had was to see him sacked and it was the right timing after several loss to Japan which is embarrassing to watch.
Pep Guardiola goes nowhere near Germany National Team, Nagelsmann has been a potential link up for that job and he has been absent for months without a good job.
Pep Guardiola should be coaxed into managing the English national team, for a decade or two they have not won any trophy. With Pep in the Premier knowing them all he has a better chance of winning them the next euros.
Southgate is taking the English Nations backwards.

Despite the tempting offers coming from Saudi Arabia many players still love to play in Europe. Kevin De Bruyne is having a great time at Manchester City, I doubt he will be considering a move outside Europe at the moment. As for Lewandowski, I cannot rule out a possibility of joining the Saudi clubs in the future because he is aged and more likely he may want a good pay and a less competitive league to finish the rest of his career.

Lewandowski is currently 35 years old, he refused to go to Saudi Arabia at his current age, if we look at the signings made by Saudi Arabian teams, we can see that Ronaldo was one of the few signings they made for a 38-year-old player. age, so when I look at Lewandowski's age, who is 35 years old, and this season and I believe that next season Barcelona will still need his services, then I see Lewandowski reaching his 37 years of age at Barcelona and with 37 years old, Saudi Arabian teams will not make an offer for him to play there, because with the current salary that Saudi Arabian teams pay to the many famous players they signed this season

I highly doubt that in 2 years these Saudi teams will continue paying these same high salaries, the tendency will be to reduce this in the next 2 years and look for young players who accept reasonable salary agreements, this season they signed Ronaldo, Neymar just to attract more attention the league, but after already having some attention, even young players who are talented but who in Europe do not have a place in the starting 11 will accept to play in the Saudi Arabian league for a salary slightly higher than the salary in Europe

There are very few players in the position Mbappe is in right now so it will be much easier for him to achieve these feats.

It's not like PSG is not a quality team and doesn't suit Mbappe's standard, they're one of the top and richest club in the world and had many world class players pass through the club in the past just that they lack major trophy and he needs a move to a team that's known for a good champions league record and would give him a  better chance of winning it to ads to his tittle records and I think Real Madrid is the perfect team for him to move to, many average players over the years have been so lucky to move over there and end up having the cup title to their name because the club is known for it's consistent good performance in the league.
 Well nothing is impossible and PSG might be lucky to win the Champions League this season under Enrique though the chances of that happening is very low and even the bookies would rate Realmadrid and City better than PSG, but one thing is certain whether the win the Champions League or not Mbappé could leave the Team next summer and Realmadrid is the most likely destination.

Well if you are the manager of Germany and end up losing this many games you are going to be asked to go. Germany doesn't even have a terrible squad neither, they are good, at least better than what they have looked like so far and I think it should be important to end up playing there for sure. That should result with something much better for them and they could end up with something much better on the long run.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be hiring Low back maybe, or just find someone that would be good for the team in general. They have the good squad, good players, as long as you can make them play together very well then you are going to be doing fine in the end.

Since Pep is one of great coach, I don't think he will coaching England except he's really want to get world cup trophy.

A coach's achievements will be greater at the club than at national level, it's just that there are some who want to serve their own country.
I want to ask whether dual coaching work is allowed? What about the club management, of course he contracts coaches at high prices. If he takes on double work, it will certainly affect their strategic concentration for the club, while the national team's strategy must also be thought about too.

But so far I have seen several people who take on this double job.

Pep Guardiola has also been linked with the Spanish national team but I'm not sure he will take that opportunity.

Arsenal should utilize every possible means to keep Martin Ødegaard and extend his contract with a lucrative weekly wages, of course that becomes necessary to wade off other big clubs from signing him, he is very young and an asset to the team being a crucial player and a play maker coupled with assemblage of his other young team mates like Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah, Saliba etc with time and while gaining more experience the team would become formidable in the nearest future as well as a team to beat if these present crop of players are retained and well guided by Arteta. I believe Real Madrid would have regretted selling him to Arsenal.

I can't even remember how many times khelaifi told madrid to bought mbappe for 250 millions but perez keep rejected khelaifi's offer.   I would rather call mbappe as benzema's replacement rather than ronaldo even though mbappe can also play as left winger as well.
Real Madrid really needs someone who can play like Benzema. That person doesn't have to play exactly like Benzema but he has to be a striker the club can rely on. Bellingham has become a new solution for Madrid but he still has many limitations. Joselu is still highly doubted by the Real Madrid coach(ancellotti). Perez has to do something in the next transfer season or madrid will not able to compete against barcelona.

Mbappe has finally decided he wants to join Madrid so by the end of the season (Next summer) the deal will be finalized. I can’t wait to see him in Madrid shirts.

Madrid has been rumored to prepare 232 millions for mbappe

One of the most underrated player in the whole world right now, he was so solid in arsenal and fit in his team flawlessly , Score a bunch of goals and serving a few assist , This norwegian boy will have very high ceiling.

Its damn shame we let him go while he still at RM, i think he was not on his prime yet

Martin Ødegaard is one of Arsenal's most important players. He is very good in their midfield and also scores good goals when there is a chance for him too. It is a good choice that the Arsenal management are making to want to see him extend his contract now before other more tempting offers come in for him as his contract was already close to expiring. Martin Ødegaard has already shown some good signs this season that he will do as well as he did last season, Arsenal will regret if they loose him especially to a rival club.

Arsenal had him as playmarker while city has de bruyne as someone who is very valuable to the club all time.

Of course the fans will be angry and give harsh criticism if Arsenal releases Odegaard to another club while this player is still very young and needs a long period of care to improve the quality of performance at the Arsenal club and I am sure that if Arteta wants to keep Odegaard for a few seasons the player will show His quality is currently not very visible and I would agree more if Odegaard would stay at Arsenal rather than move to another club.

Mbape wasn't a free agent during the transfer period, he still has a year contract with PSG, by 2024 summer he will be available as free agent and that is what PSG was avoiding, they don't want to live him as free without making money from him and Real Madrid wasn't ready to splash money on him either and Mbape was left without option than to continue his journey in PSG. What is left untold is how he was able to convince PSG to take him back among the squad, initially when all this started, he was deleted from the squad but he was later reinstated but no details of what really happened and we can tell his future with Real Madrid.

I'm not sure why everyone are bothered about Mbape future with Real Madrid, I understand that he needs Real Madrid to engulfed Champions League but if he eventually become a free agent, the only club that is hot right now to win the Champions League is Manchester City, they have more stamina to win the league than any other club and that's the perfect place that will fit him.

That is very heavy for Real Madrid with the price PSG spent is quite crazy in addition to this team wanting to keep Mbappe, at that time Real Madrid had no other choice but to buy several other players who had been targeted and Mbappe at that time would be put aside.

I think at the moment the PSG manager is trying to convince Mbappe to stay and sign his new contract, this will be more drama I think, if the summer happens it is likely that Real Madrid will offer Mbappe again but obviously it will be at a high market price.

At the moment Mbappe will be an important player he will be spoiled for his signature contract.
