⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[baeva]

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.

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!

At the time he came on as coach the club management didn't have much time to choose a worthy person. As a coach he's pretty good if you don't look at his Chelsea coaching alone, no? It's just that maybe he really isn't right for this club. A huge amount of money has been spent on the transfer window, but there has been no result, and it's been 5 matches already.

There are things we need to address concerning Chelsea, Pochettino and the players, the board are out of the question because they have given him the money to sign any player he need which he did and has the power to use any of the player as he wish but nothing good is coming out from Chelsea, last season was more better because they started on a good foot print which Tuchel left for then Potter collapse everything and since then, they are not in good condition anymore. We need answers of what is really happening, I'm not sure I have seen Chelsea this bad since they've been one of my favorite club.

Pochettino was interviewed today after they draw their match with Bournemouth, no goal score and non was conceded but still doesn't prove they are good to me. What baffle was the statement he made that he understood that the fans are angry but that's not his concern because the team are in right track. He thinks he knows everything but I think he should ask Graham how he was dragged last summer, it wasn't a funny experience in Chelsea for him.

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.

I think whoever coaches Chelsea will have the same problems. They have had a long period of wrong planning. Now it's not realistic to expect someone to come in and change everything in an instant. I hope they give Pochettino enough time. Even Mourinho can't fix everything at once. Nobody has a magic wand.

I think Chelsea need to have players with leadership qualities, Didier Drogba was such a player. They made a lot of transfers. But they haven't done one right transfer.

 I think it's too early to start critising Pochettino's ability to handle the team, i think they need to give him time to put the club in other because it's not easy for any coach to just come into a team that's crumbled and change it immediately, several other coaches have tried and failed so let's give Pouchettino some more time to prove he's the right man to handle the managerial role at Chelsea.
 
 Well i understand their fans anger given that Chelsea spent a lot of money to recruit players and take the team to a better standard but they're not performing as expected so far and the fans are wondering if they wasted a lot of money for nothing, i noticed that since Todd Boehly took over ownership of Chelsea the club have not been the same and have been struggling since last season regardless of the huge amount they spent to revive the team.

The truth is that Chelsea has been very poor since the start of last season but got worse after the new owner Todd Boehly sacked their former manager Thomas Tuchel from his job as the club manager. Graham Potter was immidiately appointed as Tuchel,'s successor but had one of the worst performances of a Chelsea manager over the last two decades.
Mauricio Pochettino isn't a magician and shouldn't be expected to come into the club and bring instant positive change but truth be told, getting just five points out of a possible 15 points is just to poor for manager his Pochettino's calibre

Real Madrid might extend Modric's contract according to some rumours. However I don't think this will happen. Maybe Kroos would stay for one more season at least. But Modric is way older than him now. I think it is time for Real Madrid to part ways with Modric and give more chances to younger midfielders.

But I must really admit that Modric is still doing really good. It has been a great joy to watch him at Croatia recently. He can still have even more than a full match on the pitch as we have seen him play for 120 minutes for Croatia recently.

The biggest issue is not the addition of fresh players to the team. The problem is that the players are unable to engage in good gameplay and contribute to the team's success. I believe Pochettino has signed all of the good players he requires for the team, but what he lacks now is the ability to put them into good play by encouraging them to interact with one another and share the same chemistry on the pitch.

Pochettino may have done better as manager of Tottenham Hotspur than he is now at Chelsea. I believe he should be given more time to try again. Chelsea is already a dead team; resurrecting a team from the dead is difficult, and it will take time for Chelsea to restore their form. I feel horrible about their situation right now.

He will remain coach for as long as possible in Chelsea.

 It is not an easy job and problem that he has inherited as coach. The ability to win games is there at Chelsea, they are not just using their opportunities properly yet. The problem with Chelsea team is not the players, the problem is that the coach has not been able to find the best Chelsea XI to start games since the best Chelsea XI that he put together in the preseason was scattered due to injuries to many of the key players.

Manchester City didn’t do so much in this summer’s transfer window, they focused mainly on strengthening crucial positions in the team. IMO I think Jack Grealish has been an important player in the team since joining from Aston Villa. The good thing is that Manchester City are getting the results for their investments so no need reminiscing on the amount spent on acquiring Grealish or any other player who has been part of the transformation process for City.

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.

It is a shame that Julian Draxler was unable to achieve the career that he was predicted to reach, this is a player that was regarded as one of the top prospects to shine in the future but has failed to reach the peak of his game. It saddens me that his bright career was dimmed by unfortunate circumstances but it is not a bad idea to take on a new challenge outside Europe, you can never know what the future holds. It could be a blessing.

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino himself said on this occasion that his team will be strong when it is full, because he has 12 injured players in the list, which was supplemented by Caicedo, Cucurella and Madueke, and it so happened that young guys and two goalkeepers are on the bench. I myself think that Pochettino is not the coach who is constantly trying to get results from the players available at the moment at any cost, but a more systematic specialist who builds his team with his own style. But it takes time and patience on the part of the club's management and fans.

Manchester city didn't need to change a lot of things on its club. Pep was just buying some like vacic and doku which have needed to fill the vacant spots that were available in manchester city.
Greaslish was an important player but city is also having a good guy that has been showing impressive performance like doku. Doku has contributed one goal to the city since his debut, which is good enough.
City already had its chemistry and there's no need to destroy it by recruiting as many new players as possible as chelsea. City already complete squad this time.
Manchester city can still play better without gundogan. Im sure that if city will be winning EPL trophy again. The dominatino by city is very hard to be destroyed by other club in EPL.

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.
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.

People look for a scapegoat when things go wrong. Technical directors are the easiest target. But Manchester United, despite working with many managers after Ferguson, including some of the best in the world, never reached the level of greatness of the Ferguson era. So, at this point, I think it is inevitable that fans will demand a change of club bosses. Maybe the Arabs will do it better. They have been very successful at Manchester City. They can do the same thing at Manchester United.

But the big obstacle is the Glazers family. They don't want to let go of Manchester United this season so Manchester United is having difficulty recruiting quality players this season. Even if fans hope that Manchester United can appear more impressive this season, it seems that this will not come true because other teams are stronger than them.

If Manchester United is owned by Arab rulers, I think Manchester United will be stronger in the next season. We would see the Glazers do just that but he is too stingy to commit big budgets to recruiting quality players. This season, Manchester United is experiencing many big problems, starting from their defense line which is not strong enough, plus they don't have a productive quality striker to continue scoring goals.

Some time ago I read that currently the Glazer family is increasingly cornered by its current status and allows it to return to discussing how good potential they have to do for their business because some time ago they saw the same conditions at Everton which was ready to change hands when the previous investor was preparing to acquire Sheffield United and immediately moved to Everton.
Seeing this condition Sheikh Jassim threatened that if they could not with Manchester United then they would immediately make a new acquisition of Tottenham and this made the Glazer Family inflamed whether they wanted to make a decision by releasing to Sheikh Jassim or not.
Currently, there are still Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim as the 2 strongest candidates for Manchester United but now it seems that it depends on how the agreement will be built by the two and depends on the benefits offered to the Glazer family for the future of Manchester United.

There is no bright spot on the glazers decision to let go of manchester united as he had given a lot of hope to jassim but in reality there was not a single deal in the end. Well, I think Jassim is still quite interested in buying Manchester United, but the only big obstacle is in the Glazers family because they keep delaying.

I haven't heard any news that the owner of Tottenham wants to sell Tottenham to another owner. They are still quite strong and are not shaken by any issues. Currently, only Manchester United is being discussed about being acquired by the Arab authorities, but that has not been resolved because the Glazers do not want to leave Manchester United.

The question is why does pochettino still use same strategy instead of change it to get a better result? The current strategy is a complete failed and it's not suitable for chelsea. Look at so many non proper finishing by chelsea players.
The club loses its ability to make proper shoot. I don't even see a single shot that was aiming to get into the right direction where bournemouth's goal keeper can't cover it.
What i can see if all of players are always shoowing straight to the opponent's goal keep which is so dumb. The club can't even use injured player as an excuse as it's responsibility from the club to be fully prepared before facing any match.

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.

If indeed Chelsea management has plans to replace Pochettino as coach, my only question is, how long will Chelsea have to replace the coach repeatedly without any changes?
I saw from last season that Chelsea changed their coach several times but still had the same player performance without any improvement unless Chelsea management gave each coach one season opportunity to get the best strategy or if you really want to build Chelsea stronger, at least look for a new coach who has a lot of experience in all European league teams or major competitions and provides a large enough offer for the prospective new coach so that opportunities for improvement will be more visible when experienced coaches manage this team players. I will not blame the Chelsea players this time because if the players are skilled but not have an experienced coach it will be very far from expectations because skilled players need strategies from the coach.

  If they end up replacing Pouchettino so early he'll be the fourth coach third coach they've replaced since Todd Boehly took over ownership from the Rússian business man Abrahamovic,and i think they should be patient enough and believe in Pouchettino to get the team back tova better performance because it would be too early for fans to be calling for his sack, i think the grace of two season would be enough for Pouchettino to take Chelsea back to winning ways just like Arsenal did with Arteta when he came into their club, now he's made the team very strong and very tough to play against.

 Pouchettino is an experienced coach and has got an experience in the league before now, about his players, they might notcbe in their best form currently cause some are very young in age and lack the experience but with time they'll begin to pick up because they're talented in as much as they don't got much experience all they need is time to get better.

They can do the same thing at Manchester United.

Manchester United loss glory after Sir Alex Ferguson era, have many managers left and go but United difficult for winning domestic league and Jose Mourinho with good achievement winning Europe League tittles. I don't know why most difficult with Manchester United winning Premier League tittles although they have change more than five manager and waiting almost ten years can't winning domestic league tittle. Contrast with Manchester City consistency winning domestic league and success make Manchester is blue for last several season, have been ten years Manchester United can't winning domestic league and difference with Manchester City winning have winning six Premier League trophies after last winning tittle from United. For this season seems not promising with Manchester United performance, I don't list United in favorite team for winning domestic league.
