⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[QueenVera]

In fact, if we go back about 9 years, Julian Draxler was a phenomenal figure and he was also part of the German national team that won the 2014 World Cup. Since then he has continued to develop with two other German teams such as Schalke and Wolfsburg before PSG finally became interested in recruiting him in 2017. And since then he has been part of PSG for 6 years. Time feels so fast indeed and suddenly his name began to sink in the past few seasons. Whatever it is, what Julian Draxler needs now is to be able to play football again and get the minutes he deserves, I hope he can find his form again with Al-Ahli SC.

It's a good think this Saudi club's are doing, they're indirectly helping some players with experience who's lost their form try to get back to their best, while they also help build the team with their experience and fame to attract more viewers, for instance Mane was lost a Bayern Munich and almost looked like a finished player, but is currently performing well at Al-Nassr and has made the team look stronger and even help in assisting his teammate Ronaldo to be the top scorer this season.

 And that's same thing could bring at his new club, Al-Ahli SC be was a very good player at PSG and has played with top players over the years the likes of Cavani, Zlantan Ibrahimovic, Messi etc and in think he could recover his form and expess himself better on the pitch again due to the much playing time he'll get at his current team in the Saudi league.

Arteta has give his respond about Martin Odegaard future this because Odegaard has 2 years contract remaining and this make some people has starting to speculate his future that Odegaard was linked to several big clubs and they also speculate Odegaard will leave Arsenal this winter but recently Arteta has been give his statement regarding this rumour that he believe Odegaard will extended his contract soon this because Odegaard is a Arsenal captain and also important player for this team besides that Arteta also so sure Odegaard was very comfortable during playing with Arsenal so that's why Arteta feel Odegaard will not leave Arsenal this winter and he will signing new contract soon

Chelsea is equipped with some young promising squad with a bright future if properly well managed and well coached by a good tactician like Pochettino unfortunately the clubs fans are hungry for an instant result which is absolutely not possible, the team needed some time for their players to gel with each other atleast next season

Lol, Pochettino is nothing different to Potter.

Even though Potter were making many mistakes in big transfers, but there are some good players e.g. Enzo, Nkunku, and Sterling.

What Pochettino done in this season? nothing, there's no successful transfer until now. Signed Cole Palmer for 44 Million Euros, contribute nothing. Signed Robert Poor Sanchez for 23 Million Euros and lend Kepa to Real Madrid. Signed Caicedo for 128 Million Euros, and other young players that playing in an unknown league.

I would say signing young players is a good idea for the future. As for current signings, I would say some big names and unnecessary spends. There are areas where they had to spend but they chose to spend in attack only. The management has no idea of what to sign in order to make the team strong.

Signing Cole Palmer was a nice idea because they need someone as an attacking midfielder but I think they should have gotten a much better name with bit more over that price. Again I will reiterate that Chelsea are making unecessary spends which is why they are making no progress at all.

I do not understand why the Chelsea authority does not realise that this coach is just not good enough to be handling a team like Chelsea. They need a better coach with top-level experience. That is probably the only way they are going to improve their performance. And at this point, they have tried everything. They should definitely try to bring in a new coach and see how he does. And by saying a “New” coach, I mean a coach that actually has a good amount of experience in managing top-level clubs successfully. At this point, I don't think signing players are going to help them.

Manchester City has definitely been very careful about spending money. They have brought in the players that they actually need. They did not overspend at all. Well maybe we can say something different about Jack Grealish. I do not think he deserved that big of a transfer money. But I guess that’s okay. Considering how much money people are spending right now for players. They have actually brought in very good results for the amount of money that they have spent so far. I don’t think not a lot of clubs can actually say that. Especially not Manchester United. They have spent stupid money for a lot of players that did not give them almost anything.

At first I thought the same and then yes, it was because all those prices for any players of any quality were suffering from inflation literally. The prices were irrational and nobody could understand them. It was about that time when Grealish was bought and unless players have a clause that they can leave the club for a fixed sum of money like De Bruyne and Haaland I think, Manchester City is a rich club and the others make them pay for it. But still the difference between Manchester City and Chelsea is that Grealish became an essential player for the team. He is important to the whole game and perfectly fits into the system that Guardiola wants. If you see it that way, Manchester City spends 100 million once and it is good. Chelsea spends 70 million four times and none of the players delivers.

The inflation has definitely got to the people. But sometimes I wonder if inflation actually gets to those people. because they already have enough money to spend on anything.  But at the same time, I also think that inflation does hit them a lot. Because the way the price of players are increasing right now, it is surely causing a lot of problems. Now the problem is they actually try to bring him expecting a huge performance from him. But he really did not perform that well to be honest.

Actually, the trend of spending too much money for a player started with Manchester United in my opinion. They were spending a lot of money for players which did not actually deserve that much money to be spent on them. And to be fair, a club which is as rich as Manchester City is definitely going to spend a lot of money to bring players. It is very possible that one time a certain player is not going to perform as they expect him to. But after that, Manchester City sprinted money, very carefully.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, the club has lost their status as one of the best clubs in Europe despite all the huge expenses by the management of the club that's led by the Glazers. So many managers has been hired and so many has also been fired because of lack of poor results which is why most people believes the club's main problem is from the owners of the club hence the call for the Glazers to leave the club.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left; Manchester United have had good coaches; but never allow any of them to build and this is on the Glazers; Also, everything cannot be the glazers fault; they got football people in football positions and Ten Hag has been giving total control and others at the football club from signings to decisions on the pitch. If anything goes wrong in 2023 (on the football pitch), it is on Ten Hag and not the glazers. The Glazers leaving, won't make Ten Hag a better tactician

We haven't heard from him for a long time, now Julian Draxler is confirmed to be joining Al-Ahli SC. It seems that at PSG he was isolated and was never included in the coach's list, even last season he was loaned to Benfica. He actually still has one season left on his contract with PSG, but considering there is an offer from Al-Ahli, it seems like there is an opportunity for PSG to sell him immediately. I think it is a shame that talents like Julain Draxler are not utilized properly in Europe. However, this is also the right decision for Julian Draxler to leave PSG and continue his career in the Qatar League. Julian Draxler signed a contract lasting until 2025 with Al-Ahli SC.

I don't know whether Draxer was overrated or whether he hasn't gotten the right chance at the right club, but in terms of achievements his career is a failure. He has made tons of money so no reason to complain for him, but he never really made it to the top players in any team and has never really been first choice. Now he is doing the same as everybody else, says goodbye to professional soccer and hello to oil money. i wonder what his salary is, if anyone has some information I would appreciate if you share it. I wonder if they also pay salaries as high as the Saudi clubs.

Well, PSG is going to receive €20 million for a player who definitely should not cost that much. I believe his market value is somewhere around 6-7 million euros. So of course, this makes sense for them to sell him right now. This is definitely going to be a huge benefit for them if they sell him. And at the same time, I think they are ready to spend so much money for him because he is still not 30. I can see he is 29 years old. So he will still have a good performance going into the new club. But I wonder if that much money is actually going to be worth it. Of course, they have money to spend. Probably this is not that much for them.

Lol. Pochetino has experience in the Premier League managed Tottenham Hotspur but still struggling with Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochetino is different from Graham Potter. I do believe, Pochetino still is not the man for Chelsea.

Pochetino already made some good additions to his side but they still do not look good. Caicedo is a good player, he might not flourish with the squad this season but will do next. Playing him behind Enzo Fernandez will be the best. Then, there'll be need to get an attacking midfielder. Nicholas Jackson needs to convince me enough. Still not the right man, could be Borja!

I've tried to wrap my head around the popular opinion that the Glazers are the reason behind the club's decline but couldn't come with anything as to why they're considered as the reason behind United's poor performances despite all the huge money they've invested in the club.

From summer 2019 until the current time the Glazers have allowed Man Utd the 2nd highest net spend in the PL.
Every Man Utd manager for the last 10 years has been heavily backed in the transfer market. The fans just can’t handle the fact that they are not winning the big trophies so their ‘copium’ is blaming the owners.

So, you can't be like United and Glazers family and just not spend anything you do not have to, they basically spend the bare minimum to keep them competing, but you can't be like Chelsea and Todd which would be spending money way more than you should, on players that do not even deserve that much money, and expect good results neither. The only way to get better is to spend right amount of money to the right players.

Smart transfers and youth academies have been one of the key strengths of the club in achievement. True, money will play an important role. Money has brought some teams to be strong and win even though not all. But you also have to know it's not just glazers who may spend little money and don't succeed. What I admire is Brighton, they imitate the style of glayer with small transfer money. But their policy has had pretty good results at the moment. They haven't been a big club in a few years but their effectiveness is better for transfers and achievements, they are quite comparable to those spent.

At this point, I don't think signing players are going to help them.

I feel Pochettino is alright but the resources he has at the moment is just not right. It is very limited and with such limited strong players in certain areas it is obvious they will perform inconsistent. A club can change manager after manager but if squad is not right then result will be same everytime. They can certainly try bringing a new manager with ample amount of experience managing top level teams but can he do with defense so poor and attack so blunt? I don't think so.

Everything needs to change at Chelsea right now is what I feel. Maybe then they will have change in form and will stand with other big 6 on the table.

Arteta has give his respond about Martin Odegaard future this because Odegaard has 2 years contract remaining and this make some people has starting to speculate his future that Odegaard was linked to several big clubs and they also speculate Odegaard will leave Arsenal this winter but recently Arteta has been give his statement regarding this rumour that he believe Odegaard will extended his contract soon this because Odegaard is a Arsenal captain and also important player for this team besides that Arteta also so sure Odegaard was very comfortable during playing with Arsenal so that's why Arteta feel Odegaard will not leave Arsenal this winter and he will signing new contract soon

Remaining two years contract left seems comfortable position for Arteta securing Martin Odegaard during Arsenal management give planning with renew contract, I believe with Arteta statement with Martin Odegaard will extend his contract actually he has got special thing and become captain team. Arteta have trust fully with Martin Odegaard and always become first choose or get regular position in midfielder position, Odegaard is smart and most talent midfielder and I don't think Arsenal want to sell him or not extend his contract.
Seems difficult to get top level performance for Odegaard  if moving to other team or return back to Real Madrid, will get difficult with regular position and Arsenal he can get more minutes playing and Arteta trust him to be captain team.

After Sir Alex Ferguson decided to quit, there were many names of top coaches who worked with Manchester United, and in fact in their hands Manchester United was still not like when he was with Sir Alex. But we have to see from the beginning of Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching, he was not only immediately successful at the beginning of his coaching, he also had a difficult time at that time. But he had a good and clear vision to build Manchester United from 0. He dared to promote young players who eventually became stars for Manchester United, and that I did not see from the coaching era afterwards. It may also be because the opportunities of the coaches who came after him were not so long-lived and had to end working together.

The Glazer family is indeed cited as one of the reasons why Mancheser United has not risen, and some time ago the supporters also protested for the Glazer family to sell Manchester United. I don't know for sure their internal problems, but I believe when there is a big protest coming it means something is wrong.

It's the same as last season, right? Chelsea had quite a lot of transfers of good players but there wasn't any improvement at all. Chelsea may be under a curse. and it's hard to get them to grow.

If the situation continues like that, maybe Pochettino's career at Chelsea is just waiting for his dismissal. like the hot news right now. Pochettino commented on fans being patient, arguing that all players need to adapt. but we'll see how Pochettino is this season, or at least the half of the season we will see.

Chelsea present situation is complicated, we're unable to scout out the problem because almost all the players are playing like mediocre players, no experience at all. The keep gambling with the ball on the pitch, they're not here for business, always losing the ball to their opponents. The new signings are not also helping matters, they're the ones making everything worse, I just hope they're able to find there peak again. Anything that's happening to Chelsea is definitely not Mauricio Pochettino fault, though he would share blames in the poor performance of the club.

Signed Robert Poor Sanchez for 23 Million Euros and lend Kepa to Real Madrid. Signed Caicedo for 128 Million Euros, and other young players that playing in an unknown league.

From my point of view, there are a series of obstacles for the Chelsea squad. In fact, I assume that Potter did not participate in the signing of the players brought in by Todd Boehly. Potter, was only assigned to do what the big boss ordered. with the large number of players brought in, plus the players available, Potter had to manage the problems that occurred in the Chelsea dressing room. but in fact, Potter failed even though he had been given many newcomers. Finally, he was fired.

Before Pochettino became coach, there were two strong candidates who were predicted to be Potter's replacement. Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, in fact both of them resigned. We can examine and speculate, it seems that something is not in accordance with the wishes and plans of the coach and the owner. then, Pochettino came and accepted an offer from Todd Boehly. Well, we can see now, almost all of Chelsea's players are dominated by young players. In fact, some of them are either talented or not at all, but we can see in the five matches they played, which ones played well and which ones didn't, apart from several players who were injured.
Again, from my point of view, Chelsea has several young players who have talent. however, they lack established players as well as experience. In the end, Pochettino found it difficult to lift this team the way he wanted. Plus, Chelsea doesn't have a striker who can really be relied on to score goals for his team. Well, despite what you say, I don't know if this is Pochettino's or Todd Boehly's policy. but what is certain is that Pochettino still has the task of bringing his team to the level they want. if not, then his career may not last long.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Chelsea have spent a lot of money on transfers in the recent 2 years. It must be around €1b in total which is unbelievable.  

But still this team are having serious problems on winning games in the EPL. It is really difficult to understand. They have started to replace their managers more often lately also and they still can't find what they want. What is the real reason behind this? Isn't there still a decent level of chemistry among the players? I know that Nkunku is injured also but still the team effort is really not good enough.

Chelsea have spent on good players, and some average in between for the last few years, but things weren't like this when the former owner Abrahimovich managed the club.

They haven't spent on the right manager else, they shouldn't have brought in a low quality coach who haven't witnessed life at the top to Chelsea. They don't have what it takes to handle Chelsea. Graham Potter and Frank Lampard should not have stayed as coach for so long. Same now goes with Pochetino, he is no winner, he will learn from his loses but that will take the club too long for the goals they need achieve this season. Nkuku is no problem, Chelsea needs a good coach and then a good  central player ( Victor Oshime )

I would have really liked to see Tuchel continuing to manage the team instead of getting sacked. As far as I know the reason of his getting sacked was different rather than the team performance. But still I believe that he was really the best manager for Chelsea. We are talking about a manager who won the Champions League title with this team in his first year which is insane.  

Potter was a bad choice and we saw that clearly. Now I just hope that Pochettino can figure a way out but I don't know. They drew with Bournemouth by 0-0 this time and the bad series continues. They are already 10 points behind the leader after leaving only 5 weeks behind.

At this point, I don't think signing players are going to help them.

In fact, behind the bad performance of Chelsea, we cannot only blame the manager, because in addition to the tactics of Chelsea, the weaknesses of the players are also included in this topic. If we see, it is not possible that Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino has no experience in the Premier League or does not understand. Rather, it is not like that; he also knows the tactics and has experience in the Premier League. Despite this, the problem is that Chelsea does not have that player who meets the criteria for making a club perform. Yes, even if it is accepted that some things are due to the manager's lack, then the player is also included. So the meaning of the saying is that the cause of Chelsea's bad morale is not only the manager but also the player or club transfer chief. If Chelsea had emphasized defense or attack instead of midfield, I think they would have easily qualified for next season's Champions League in addition to their performance in this season's Premier League. Hopefully, Mauricio Pochettino can make a change in the coming days.

Till half of the season, is the time I think the management of Chelsea will expend before considering finding a replacement for Pochettino. It isn't his fault really, but if I must say, new players have to adapt to the new environment and style of play as well as team phsychi before being expected to deliver much in return.  
The team needs a very creative player who can really be calm with the ball and link up the attack and midfield with dribbles and accurate passes. Otherwise what we have witnessed in their style of play so far will be replicated in their other competitive games.

Chelsea"a problem started immediately the English government forcefully took over the club and sold it to Todd Boehly and his partners. If it was in the religious or cultural palace it would be assumed that nemesis is catching up with these new investors that went ahead to buy Chelsea even when they knew that it was unrightfully seized. From then the club has kept making mistakes after mistakes.  The first fatal blunder was to sack Thomas Tuchel and they began to sign overestimated players that added no quality to the club. They have kept wasting money till this season.

I don't think coach Pochettino is the only problem because he has a lot of experience and has even led an English club Tottenham Hotspur to the Champions League finals in 2018-19 when they lost to Liverpool.  In terms of quality players, they have some of the best in the world. They also have the best management that is ever willing to support the technical team and the players. I am beginning to suspect that Chelsea has joined the League of the Cursed clubs in Europe.

Actually, I agree with you that when a club doesn't have good performance, it doesn't mean it's the coach's fault, but we also have to assess from the player's side whether the player has good playing qualities or has talent that is able to contribute to the club consistently like some players at other big clubs. .
But here I will judge from both sides without taking anyone's side and however, if this is not the coach's fault and we are related to Chelsea players, then why this summer did Chelsea spend a lot of money to buy the players the coach wants?
From this question we all know that the fault lies on both sides between Mauricio Pochettino and the current players because after all some of the players bought were Pochettino's choice so if they fail to improve Chelsea's performance this will definitely be the coach's fault because they chose the wrong players and are one-sided. as a player who was bought at a high price, he should have shown his enthusiasm to maximize cooperation with other players to form a better strength but in reality he failed.
So both parties, the Chelsea coach and players, are able to make changes so that if this fails, it is certain that the fault lies with the players and coach.
