⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[baeva]

De Gea is still free agent. I saw a source claiming that Manchester United might rethink of signing him back. However that source was The Sun so I don't believe anything they publish.  

Apart from that it is said he can even decide for an early retirement depending on his getting a satisfying offer from a team. I hope he doesn't get retired this early in his career. 32 isn't an old age for a goalkeeper. Especially for a great goalkeeper like him. Probably teams from Europe don't want to approach due to his high demand. Otherwise I don't know the reason. Maybe he would get an offer from Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

I don't believe this at all. The Sun or any other similar sources always goes way off the mark. They just want to stir and post some nice gossip articles without any strong base. With the way De Gea was ditched by United I really don't think De Gea will say yes even if United approaches him. Besides United have backup goalkeepers and I think there is no need. Also Onana needs a bit of time and he will be back with form for United. I think he is a great goalkeeper. A mistake or two might have costed United a lot but he has saved a lot for United too.

Thinking about De Gea and Manchester United I think Manchester United made a huge mistake by releasing De Gea because he is a coach who achieved many titles with Manchester United and I think instead of going for other players.
I think there is a high chance for Manchester United to send an offer for De Gea again but the best he can do is to reject the offer.

It's unlikely they will make him an offer to come back to MU again, they have a policy now that if you leave, you go. At least that's how it seems from the outside. Especially they have a pretty good goalkeeper at the moment, Onana is performing well and I still think he's the least to blame for all the silly goals conceded

To be honest, Chopo Mouting's role is not as a pure striker because he is a winger and this does not really fit the scheme carried out by Bayern which always prioritizes one striker, so Chopo Mouting is difficult to get a place in the squad.

I know that Chopo Mouting can play in some positions. He can play as a center forward (striker), he can play as a second striker, he also can play as a left winger. As far as I know, his main position is a center forward (striker). Is his ideal position as a left winger? TBH, I never know that his ideal position is a winger.

Chopo Mouting's ideal position is striker and winger although he can also be deployed at second striker but in some games even when there was Mane before him he was very comfortable on the left wing.
But it is difficult to happen now because for him, if he is played as a second striker it is very difficult because there is still Muller and Musiala, especially for now it looks like Bayern wants to give more time to Musiala in exploring his position.
For the striker there is also Kane who will remain the first choice and this left wing is also not possible for Chopo Mouting because Tuchel rarely displays 3 strikers in the matches he does.

With his options closed, there are only 2 choices whether he is willing to be on the bench or look for a new club that makes him a regular player and with Bayern's choice to try to sell him, he also indirectly has to find a new club from now on.

The difference between how De Gea played all season long just last season and how Onana has been playing this year is vast enough to say that it was an obvious mistake. Just because De Gea had some mistakes as well doesn't mean that it was as much as Onana, they were not even remotely similar and to make that quite similar, then you need to arrange something that would be like them playing the same game twice to see the difference which is not going to happen.

So, all we have is how many saves did De Gea had and how many clean sheets he had, versus how Onana has done so far. It is definitely an easy judgement because we are talking about a goalkeeper who got scored as much as you and I would get scored, that dude has been terrible so far and De gea would have been better without a doubt. I think that is the point and this is why I think fans are not happy with the Onana situation, they can get someone else, but it's hard to replace goalkeepers midseason.

I think it's too early for Onana to be compared with De Gea because these two players have their own eras and also their own techniques in guarding the goal so they don't concede. If we have to compare, of course De Gea is better than Onana and we have to look at all of that from the whole season and individual achievements and the success in bringing Manchester United to glory at that time. Maybe it's best not to compare the two because they are different eras and different playing styles. So let's just enjoy Onana's good performance this season with Manchester United.

By the way, De Gea after the end of last season he hasn't found another team to play for. So, if this season he is without a team, he might have difficulty getting another team next season if he chooses to join according to the conditions he determines. Previously, many teams were interested in him but for some reason it didn't end in an agreement.

Arsenal is likely to sign Brentford's center forward Ivan Toney who will complete his 8 months ban because of FA betting rules breaches, the only problem is if he can still perform better after being off the pitch for that long interval but however if Arsenal succeeds in signing him in this January transfer window, it is gonna further Energize Arsenal's attack and will help relief Gabriel Jesus after he sustained a harmstring injury during Arsenal match with sevilla in the champions league group stage. Ivan Toney made a huge and brilliant performance for brentford and bringing him to the Arsenal team with boast Arsenal's attack. Source:

The signings of Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and David Raya has also aided Arsenal in achieving huge success in their matches so far and nothing boost a team consistency like signing new experienced players.

[nurilham]

I think it's too early for Onana to be compared with De Gea because these two players have their own eras and also their own techniques in guarding the goal so they don't concede.

Agree. Why we must hurry to compare them? Onana just joined Mann United, he played few matches only. We need to wait for this season to end first at least, so we can compare how's Onana first season and De Gea first season in Man United. But I assume we don't need to compare them, it won't result anything. If their performance is different, it is because the squad is different, too.

Arsenal is likely to sign Brentford's center forward Ivan Toney who will complete his 8 months ban because of FA betting rules breaches, the only problem is if he can still perform better after being off the pitch for that long interval but however if Arsenal succeeds in signing him in this January transfer window, it is gonna further Energize Arsenal's attack and will help relief Gabriel Jesus after he sustained a harmstring injury during Arsenal match with sevilla in the champions league group stage.

Gabriel Jesus gets injured? 
What I know, there are 2 injured players only in Arsenal squad. They are Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka.

I'm also not really sure that Ivan Toney will perform impressively again after he didn't play a long time. Arsenal also has Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, why Arsenal sign Toney? I think 2 strikers are enough for Arsenal.

But indeed, some media outlets have reported this, one of which is The Sun, even though we know that The Sun is just a media outlet that sometimes raises issues that are in the news without caring whether it is true or not.
Even so, I think that even if Manchester United eventually want De Gea back, De Gea must have pride because after all he has been betrayed before and it would be very funny if he returned with a new clause.
Indeed, until now there have been no offers from other clubs for him but if he is serious and can train well then I think he will still not be difficult to get a club even though he is more than 30 years old.

That wasn't a bad move either now Cole Palmer has to do all he can to be consistent for the next ten to fifteen years with Chelsea.

Next 10 to 15 years? Are you kidding me?

This is a Chelsea of 2023 we are talking about, with the Saudi Arabia Clubs that seem to have endless pits of money looking more and more interested in European League talents. I can bet if he stays at Chelsea for more than 6–7 years.

Composed finish he has against Arsenal. I'm looking towards a great partnership yo be formed between Nkuku and Cole Palmer as they link up with whoever's top front of the attack. They should get another win against Brentford if they attack and defend.
They have good set of players who're growing into top notch players.

Nkunku? I don't think he is ever going to be good at Chelsea. Not a chance.

Manchester United made a very big mistake letting De Gea to leave the club and replacing him with a basket called Onana who is not sure of himself.He has been the worst goalkeeper ever since he moved to Old Trafford.Before you can get a keeper like Degea,you will definitely suffer because his type are few.Andre Onana has not been able to replace De Gea in any way,his performances so far has been very poor,the only day one can reckon on Onana was their last game,where he saved a late penalty to make his team grab a three point win over Copenhagen.I believe that game should be able to give him a little confidence which would make him perform well in the next match.

This is an easy judgment because whenever someone makes a mistake you could call it out as a fundamental error.  Think about this, there is a penalty for a team and the player taking the penalty misses it. Would the conclusion be that if they didn't sell some striker months before, they would have won the game or the title or whatever. These if games don't work like that. De Gea made mistakes and other goalkeepers make mistakes. There is only a hand full that really dominates the profession of being a goalkeeper. De Gea also wasn't one of them.

The difference between how De Gea played all season long just last season and how Onana has been playing this year is vast enough to say that it was an obvious mistake. Just because De Gea had some mistakes as well doesn't mean that it was as much as Onana, they were not even remotely similar and to make that quite similar, then you need to arrange something that would be like them playing the same game twice to see the difference which is not going to happen.

It seems De Gea is getting near to signing his contract with Macnshter United and he is going to come back to the team again. Since there was some news about De Gea joining Manchester United again, he published a new story on Instagram and said 'feeling good' maybe this is a positive signal for this player to join Manchester United.
In this case, Onana will be under pressure and there is even the chance for him to leave.

After Manchester United Embarrassed their number 1 keeper without giving him a proper farewell, they're now going back to him, it's very disgraceful and the board controlling the team doesn't have any shame, if I were Degea i won't even consider moving there, but i know his love for the club could make him consider moving back to reunite with his former teammates and friends.

 I learnt that Onana would leave the team to go play for his Country in the Afcon and could be away for  a while about 9 matches an ld that's why United are seeking a replacement temporarily for Onana by going back to negotiate a temporal deal for David De Gea, this is something a lot of Manchester united would be a  happy about, seeing their former star that kept about 17 clean-sheets and won Goalie of the year

Yes, There is a big possibility that De Gea will reunite with his friends at Manchester United because there is a lot of news that confirms that manchester united will sign Him again in this winter transfer window. But apart from that, He is the best goalkeeper that Manchester united has ever had in the previous season and of course if de gea is plotted as a back-up for Onana, He will definitely not agree. but we will see the developments that occur between Him and Manchester united.

On the one hand, onana will probably miss playing for Manchester united at the start of next year because He will be defending the national team at the start of next year. And that could be what makes Manchester united management approach De gea. Hopefully De gea return to manchester united will not make the dressing room noisy and He will have to accept the fact that he will be a backup for onana.

Since leaving Man Utd, De Gea has yet to find a new home. This player received many invitations from Saudi Arabia but refused them all. During Onana's absence, Man Utd only had two options for the goalkeeper position: Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir, but both have yet to receive trust. They have too little time on the field and are not in good form.
Man Utd recruited De Gea on a short-term contract. I consider this a terrible way to treat the goalkeeper with the longest serving time in Man Utd history and the one who just won the Premier League Golden Glove. If he accepts a short-term contract until the end of the season, De Gea will reunite with his former teammates and coach Erik ten Hag. This time, he can prove who the real Man Utd goalkeeper is. Otherwise, he will continue to be abandoned by fans. But this is just a rumor, and we need time to confirm whether the information is accurate.

The last paragraph of your post is the reason Manchester United might be trying to sign David again. If David is coming back, he will know he is coming as a second choice, there is nothing to do about it. David's time came and he did well and he is aging, so he should allow another to enjoy his own time. David is a good goalkeeper and also Onana is a good goalkeeper also. What Onana need is adaptation with the team and I think he is doing 

The champions league goal he save against Copenhagen has indeed boosted his morale and from henceforth might the beginning of his turn around.

Man United will always be his home and he had every right to go back and sign or not to go anymore,  there won't be enough room for him for Man United have signed a new younger player as a back player for the first choice Onana.
The African Cup of nations  will see onana leaving the club so they need a player than can carry out a good job for the club.
After the feeling of betrayal faced by onana from Man United  to David do you still he will want to return  to Man United?
It is a long time until the transfer window now they have to focus on the next few games at hand.

De Bruyne is another star with his name being called with Saudi Arabia teams for next summer. He is 32 years old though but I believe he is still solid enough to play at the same level for a couple of more years at least. I don't know if he would lean towards such transfer yet. No doubt the offer would be quite attracting. 

De Bruyne must be focused on recovering from his injury first. After that he wouldn't think about these things already now. He would concentrate on his game until the end of the season. I would like to see him staying at Manchester City longer honestly.

If De Gea wants to and does make a return to Manchester United, the news would be welcomed by supporters as well. He has been missed.
About Onana, he would definitely be under a whole new found pressure and while there’s the chance for the club to gradually lose interest in him and later let him go, he may have gotten a better reason to and get more motivated in order to secure his spot in the team.
Asides all of that, We could see better performance from him and I still have some faith in his abilities.

It's impossible for him to go to the saudi pro league. He is still needed by pep guardiola even though pep was also looking for attacking midfielder star like dani olmo. We are still a few months away before de bruyne will able to play again.
There is a lot of things that need to be considered as a very important thing right now. I think that bruyne will be playing for a few years starting from now in manchster city.
he was old enough but it doesn't mean he was bad. he is still on his golden age at this moment. I think that his contribution still needed by manchester city at this moment. De bruyne was someone who was able to diding haaland's potential with his very accurate assists. De brune is the main key of manchester united at this moment. I have no doubt that if he will even perform better once he will comeback from his injury.

Real Madrid is considering making Kepa permanent from Chelsea and Real Madrid will make its final decision when the season ends. As we know, Kepa was brought in from Chelsea on loan for 1 season and that made Kepa very happy because he no longer felt like he was at Chelsea with a performance that was far from what was expected. At Real Madrid, Kepa always starts and as a substitute for Courtois who is absent due to injury, his performance is always impressive in guarding Real Madrid's goal. Maybe with all the considerations and also good statistics, in the end Real Madrid is very interested in making him permanent and that will certainly make Kepa very happy because he really loves Real Madrid and doesn't want to go back to Chelsea.

What do you think? Does Kepa deserve a place at Real Madrid with his performances so far?

It seems like Kepa has felt comfortable at the Real Madrid club during this loan period and is reluctant to return to Chelsea. I think this is a good thing for Real Madrid if they want to buy this player while Thibaut Cuortois is injured and will be out for a long time. There is nothing wrong with Real Madrid buy the goalkeeper.
If Thibaut Cuortuos has recovered from injury, I am worried that Thibaut Cuortuos will experience a decline in performance, so I think making Kepa permanent is a good decision and because of his love for Real Madrid, it will have a positive impact on the club and so far Kepa has performed well during his time at Real Madrid.

That news obviously makes sense. Curtois was not young anymore. he is aged and madrid needs to get another young talented goal keeper to handle the club. As long as rela madrid will be coming to the chelsea with reasonably deal and i think that blues would be agree dto let him good. As far as i know that if this probably the main reason why chelsea has been also targeting maignan from acmilan. I think that if real madrid has sent its interest toward keepa since last months. Kepa is performing as good as curtois and this guy is underrated goal keeper.
he is also having specialization in the penalty. It's very good for madrid to sign him as a permanent transfer. Chelsea doesn't really need him at this moment.

I hope madrid will sign this guy as a permanent goal keeper for the club. kepa looked very happy to stay in the real madrid much longer than i though. That's why this transfer actually a sense transfer by real madrid.
Real madrid shall not feel confuse to hunt a new goal keeper as the club has got someone who is capable enough to be the future goal keeper of real madrid at this moment.

Signing Kepa wouldn't be a bad idea since Courtois hasn't recovered yet from injury, so at this point Kepa is the alternative Real Madrid have for now and considering his goal keeping techniques, I believe since he is doing a great job at Madrid it will be wise to sign him permanently even if Courtois recovers from Injury both of them can be rationing Madrid's goal keeping.
