⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Despairo]

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.

6-12 months is enough to see the quality of the coach, Chelsea need to change their coach to prevent from possible big lose. Both of Pochettino and Potter are like to spend big money for unnecessary thing, Chelsea need to find a coach that prefer to develop the players than signing new players e.g. Klopp.

My suggestion Chelsea need to sign Vincent Kompany, I believe Chelsea have enough money to buy out from Burnley.

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.

So far, there is no position that is particularly worrying, especially considering that even the bench players are already on par with the main players. Jack Grealish is indeed an important part and he even had doubts when he was brought in by Manchester City for 117 million euros in 2021 because he felt he had a big responsibility and had to be able to make a contribution commensurate with that price. However, it seems that it didn't take long for Jack Grealish to prove his quality to Pep Guardiola and until now he has become an irreplaceable right winger.

True but there is also the risk when the coach will not able to change the situation in the club. It will put chelsea into the risk by staying at the bottom. The club needs to gamble to keep poch or replace him with a new coach. I don't know why chelsea has picked him instead of de zerbi or something else. Todd has been making some bad choices regarding his decision for the club. The club has been downgrade since todd has been acquiring chelsea from the old owner. Chelsea needs to go up as soon as possible.
It's always struggling when facing the weak clubs in EPL. The last season story is just repeating to the chelsea.

My suggestion Chelsea need to sign Vincent Kompany, I believe Chelsea have enough money to buy out from Burnley.

That guy could be a good option but i would prefer chelsea to take xabi alonso as a new appointment if the club needs a new coach. Look at how xabi could bring leverkusen at the top by doing win streak after he was replacing the old coach. Chelsea needs someone who can motivate whole of its players.

Jack Grealish is a very important member of the Manchester City squad and before his was injured, he was a regular starter for the club. Manchester City didn't not waste the money they used in signing him from Aston Villa and despite the arrival of Jeremy Doku who has been sensational in the left wing of Manchester City's attack,  I think Grealish is still gonna get playing opportunities when he returns from injury.
Pep Guardiola is one manager who's is very good in rotating his squad and I believe he already knows how to make use of Grealish when he's finally back to the squad.

Basically Manchester City already solid so Guardiola is not too necessary to bought many players to build new squad and so far Manctester City has bought at least 4 important players this summer and mostly they bought new midfielder and at least they buy 3 players on that position and they are Matheus Nunes, Jérémy Doku and Mateo Kovacic and i can understand why Guardiola want to buy these players because this summer they lost Gundogan and Riyadh Mahrez so Manchester City immediately have to find the replacement of those playes and do not forget too their new defender Josko Gvardiol which is being an the most expensive defender player this summer and think these transfers were sucessful because all of these players can adapt quickly with Guardiola strategy and they also can able to performing well

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.

Not always, Chelsea management will measure and consider his performance as long as he is trusted as Chelsea coach. Management wants his team to provide the best performance, so Pochettino is expected to be able to improve Chelsea's performance, especially during the transfer market, Chelsea is very active in spending players. Patience has limits, Chelsea management still hopes that Pochettino will be able to return Chelsea to its best form. If he fails, then dismissal is inevitable.

I have just looked at some of the history of the best players that Brazil has and am interested in seeing the career history of Ronaldinho the star player from Brazil after Pele who managed to make great achievements and achievements in the history of football.
Ronaldinho had a pretty good football career he even became a gold star in his time when he played with Barcelona and AC Milan but unfortunately at the end of his retirement Ronaldinho had a history of transfers to play with teams that were not very well known or top big teams.
Even after retiring Ronaldinho lived a bitter and difficult life and even went to prison after retiring.

If you look at the history of Ronaldinho it is very different from today top players who have careers at the end of retirement but instead have wealth and are still playing with a team that is able to provide large payments for later retirement savings from the football industry.

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.

Involving Tottenham is like a kind of bluff because with his current condition Jassim seems to be getting hot because his good intentions in acquiring a club are not very well seen and seem to be played but indeed in the end things like this are also not very good if the Glazer Family let it continue because they must realize that conditions like this can interfere with Manchester United itself.
Now even though there is no significant impact but this still disrupts the eleltability of Manchester United which makes all ultimately affected.
The problem is too complex for Glazer if he tries to keep Manchester United too because we know that in detail in the last few seasons fans always want Glazer to leave and this is not the first time the fans of United have reacted like that.

  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.

I don't think that Todd Boehly will replace Pochettino immediately, because this coach has already spent a lot in the transfer market, and changing coaches will not guarantee that there will be changes, we can see when Graham Potter was at Chelsea, Boehly was patient enough to wait for the coach to bring him in. Chelsea is heading in a better direction, only to fail.
Many predict that Chelsea's current situation is because many of their players are injured, maybe that is true but it also proves that Pochettino is not a coach with a lot of strategy, he relies on his strategy on players who are considered capable of doing it and when it doesn't work he doesn't change anything other than waiting until it can work as it wishes.
I predict changes will be made in the middle of the season when nothing good happens to Chelsea, indeed it looks too late because in the middle of the season if their position has not improved it will be difficult to end up in the European zone, but we don't know for sure what will happen in a few months, maybe something good will finally happen to Chelsea, because I don't believe that Chelsea will stay like this without any improvement at all.

I've said before that changing coaches too soon won't help them improve their performance and that's still true now.
Todd should be aware that the number of times he changed coaches during his tenure at Chelsea but the results remained the same and nothing has changed in this regard so removing Pochettino at this time is also not the right answer to improve the club.

Unless he wants the same thing over and over again as happened for Chelsea last season. The initial choice when making Pochettino as coach should they realize that the worst possibility is like this but when the decision has been made and Poche is already in charge of Chelsea this season then Todd should not retreat and must entrust at least until half of the season or the end of the season to see his decision this time is right or not.

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.

Manchester city is rarely having troubles with the availability of its players. Guardiola could always pick the players who could be used to be a backup for the injured players. The first and secondary teams of manchester city are same strong.
Despite City spending a lot on Grealish in past seasons, he delivered unlike other EPL players bought by other clubs who haven't delivered yet. Grealish can also be considered as a successful transfer by manchester city.

He is good and grealish has always become the important player from manchester city. He is always playing as starting line up. Guardiola has even found his best replacement once he was absent.
I think that the fans have no problem at all to see its favorite club bought expensive players as long as this player would deliver.
Seeing how chelsea fans boo chelsea players made me think grealish one hundred times better than chelsea's players.

[AndySt]

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.

I just quoted the words of the head coach of the team. Any construction of a tactical game requires time and effort, and this usually does not happen when during one time you play one option to automatism, then after the injury of the main players you urgently start playing another option, so that after the recovery of the main players you try to play the main option again. Rather, you will continue to play the main version with the expectation that the main players will gradually return to the system and after some time the team will act according to your settings. Or just call a chameleon coach who does not have his own tactics, but at the expense of simplifying the game, who can succeed with the available players for a short time.

The city's substitution has equal level compared with the main squad. Manchester city was also perfectly buying the right players to fill the vacant spots too. The club was not doing inefficient transfers that were wasting a lot of money. Grealish has paid off his transfer fee.
Manchester city was also buying someone like doku which is performing as good as grealish but doku just needs more time to adapt with city's gameplay. Doku was scoring on his debut, which is far better compared with so many transfers made by chelsea and united.
Grealish needs to compete with doku soon. Doku may also be able to perform as good as grealish but this guy has less price compared with grealish. City was almost getting paqueta but glad to see city has picked doku as a backup for grealish which has more potential but less price.

Only if beghdad and todd will not be losing their patience to see chelsea performed so badly under him. Chelsea is finished. It's impossible to recover the club that already destroyed by todd's hand.
I remember when todd was firing almost all of professional staff who has been working under abramovich. Chelsea may try to give pochettino chances till the middle of season to build its team.

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.

The coach was not so creative as well as its players. I keep see poch use the same strategy as previous matches. Why doesn't poch try to maximize the potential of chelsea through change the strategy? It will help the club a lot.
Poch needs to understand if his strategy was also a problem for the club. It makes players became less creative in building proper attack and thing that surprised me if almost all of chelsea players have no ability in shooting the ball properly.

This is because Man City has much more stable finances than other clubs in the Premier League and the availability of players is more than sufficient with the main squad and second caste being very balanced. So when they are not very active in the transfer market, that is normal. And so far there have been no problems in Man City transfers because Pep Guardiola knows what the club needs. We see the other side, namely Man United, apart from poor financial management, the limited budget for purchasing players in the Transfer Market and Glazer doesn't want to spend more money because all he wants is profit from what he invests. Glazer doesn't care about the club whereas His Highness Sheikh Mansour is the opposite of Glazer.

This summer, Lucas Paqueta almost joined Manchester City, but considering that his negotiations failed at the appointed time, he had to stay at West Ham. The latest rumors say that Newcastle are interested in bringing in Lucas Paqueta in January and he is one of the players Eddie Howie wants. Newcastle is even willing to offer a big deal to ensure this transfer goes smoothly and it seems we don't need to doubt Newcastle because they have a very rich owner.

On the other hand, I think if Lucas Paqueta agrees to join Newcastle it could mean that he will be in a better place or even vice versa considering that Newcastle has been quite difficult in the standings so far. However, there are other advantages if he wants to join Newcastle because he can get more playing time in the Champions League competition this season.

[Blitzboy]

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!

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.

I've been paying close attention to Chelsea's situation and agree with you on a few things. To be fair, Pochettino was a great boss at Tottenham Hotspur. But he seems to be facing a different set of problems at Chelsea. But the scars alone cant explain everything. Yes, having 12 players hurt is a big problem. Some of the most important ones are Caicedo, Cucurella, and Madueke. I have seen that Pochettino's strategy hasnt changed much, though. Why isnt he adapting? Im very worried. There havent been enough shots on goal or accurate finishes. I dont understand. Chelsea's future doesnt look clear unless Pochettino makes some big changes to the way they play.

Looking at this frame reminds me of the golden age of Barcelona. All the players in this frame are legendary players. Maybe those in this frame have now retired from football or moved on to other professions. While all the legendary players are in this frame, there is one other talented player. You must have guessed by now that I am talking about Ronaldinho.  
Ronaldinho was a football legend. He was called the wizard of football, football was like an art when he played football and he was a master of that art. The way this legendary player ended his career could have ended differently. Despite having considerable talent and skill, he did little for Brazil and served much less time in the national team than expected. When he retired from football, he went to jail in the women's scandal case and lived a miserable life there too. At the moment, this legendary player is living a normal life with the help of his other teammate Lionel Messi.

This is because Man City has much more stable finances than other clubs in the Premier League and the availability of players is more than sufficient with the main squad and second caste being very balanced.

What has happened to Manchester City is not only because of good financial support but also how clever Pep Guardiola has been in renewing his squad so far, several clubs in other leagues such as PSG have great financial capabilities but the owners and coaches appointed so far do not have the intelligence like what Pep has or is it just a matter of time because City also need some time to become a strong team in the past few seasons.

This summer, Lucas Paqueta almost joined Manchester City, but considering that his negotiations failed at the appointed time, he had to stay at West Ham. The latest rumors say that Newcastle are interested in bringing in Lucas Paqueta in January and he is one of the players Eddie Howie wants. Newcastle is even willing to offer a big deal to ensure this transfer goes smoothly and it seems we don't need to doubt Newcastle because they have a very rich owner.

On the other hand, I think if Lucas Paqueta agrees to join Newcastle it could mean that he will be in a better place or even vice versa considering that Newcastle has been quite difficult in the standings so far. However, there are other advantages if he wants to join Newcastle because he can get more playing time in the Champions League competition this season.

Quite curious what made negotiations fail for him to become a player at Manchester City? because it is the biggest opportunity for him to make his career shine even more if he can develop well at that club, but if he is at City he will not get the bigger playing portion that he got at West Ham or if he later goes to Newcastle.
Of course, he will be able to play in the Champions League with Newcastle if Newcastle can get through the group stage, isn't that right? because the transfer market has closed, his chances of going to Newcastle are in the middle of the season when the transfer market opens again, while Newcastle's chances of getting to the knockout phase are still quite doubtful.

And it is indeed better for Lucas Paqueta to choose Newcastle, at Man City, the place will be quite difficult, especially when he has to compete with players whose presence is much better. At Newcastle, Lucas Paqueta can still get more playing time and has the potential to become a starting player. I hope Newcastle really gets it in January, Lucas Paqueta has the abilities Newcastle needs, that's why Eddie Howe really wants to bring him to James' Park headquarters.

There havent been enough shots on goal or accurate finishes. I dont understand. Chelsea's future doesnt look clear unless Pochettino makes some big changes to the way they play.

I thought Pochettino was too confident after overhauling Chelsea by selling players and keeping bad players. Now, whether Pochettino likes it or not, he has to realize that his hopes of achieving an ideal position in the Premier League are not as easy as when he led PSG which was full of star players. The bitter reality experienced by Chelsea is not over yet, Tod Boehly seems to be increasingly closing his ears and eyes to the reality of the club he manages. If Chelsea wants to return to its best form, the main thing that must be done is to remove Tod Boehly from ownership of the club.
