⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[GbitG]

But are the transfers the problem or is the coach the problem? It is simple to just say that the transfers were all flops and didn't work out, but if the coach is the problem and has no plan how to integrate the new players into the team and how to give them a chance to prove themselves, transfers in any transfer period can become a problem. Whatever their plan is for Griezmann, it is a risky transfer for Griezmann as he knows how everything went with Sancho.

Well, even if it is accepted that Antoine Griezmann transfer to Barcelona was a flop, this isn't because Antoine Griezmann goal stats were fair; yes, his top-level performance was not even a flop performance. There is a better goal-scoring ratio. Cristiano Ronaldo is the master of goals, but at Manchester United, he only scored 27 goals in 60 matches with 5 assists. While Griezmen scored 30 goals in 90 appearances plus 13 assists, although Antoine Griezmann didn't play at centre forward like Cristiano Ronaldo's, their goal ratio was similar to each other. So their transfer is not a flop, but some clubs' tactics are not suitable for the player. The way now CR7 is performing in his new club did well, So I think if Antoine Griezmann goes to Manchester United, hopefully Man United's strategy is similar to this game play so he can perform well like Cristiano Ronaldo's.

I doubt he will leave during the winter season.
Real Madrid has a lot of problems with long injuries now, he will probably stay until june.

I also think that Modric won't leave Real Madrid Until his contract expires. Modric is still an important part of Real Madrid although he is getting rarely playing as a starter. Moreover, with many injured players, Real Madrid needs him to keep the balance of the squad. Modric is also a senior player in Real Madrid squad, he has a role to share his experience to younger players, too. So, he is still needed in Real Madrid, Real Madrid won't release him before his contract expires in June 2024.

Me too but let's think that if any possibility can happen with him. That depends on his decision whether he is willing to leave from madrid in winter or waiting for his contract to expire. Im thinking about modric to leave from real madrid as soon as possible.
Im sure he was not feeling well to stay even longer in the club. Saudi pro league has been preparing a spot for him in the league. He will get better chance to play there and i think it's a wise decision from him to go there.

It will be one of good decision to be taken by modric. He can enjoy his life and got easy money from staying at saudi pro league and i do support this. It will better rather than being benched due to the age.
Anyone will be also agreed with that decision. Modric shall not try to refuse saudi's offer or he will be regretting it. He can enjoy his life and play to met with his old friends in madrid.

Arsenal are pursuing the signing of Aston Villa super player Douglas Luiz,and according to report,he is one of the main target Arteta wants to acquire before the window slams shut by January.It is indeed a nice business if Arsenal can make this one materialise because Arsenal's holding midfielder,Thomas Partey hasn't been consistent at all this season,and because of that,the mind of getting someone who can pair with Declan Rice in that midfield is ideal,and the perfect person who can replace Partey is Douglas Luiz who has been doing exceptionally well at Villa.I really can't wait for this deal to materialise,because his presence in the Arsenal dressing room will bring more spirit to the team.

I am not convinced for once that this move is going to work out. Antonie Griezmann is an important player for Atletico Madrid at the moment, leaving the club will be detrimental to the teams success in the La Liga. Currently I haven’t seen a better replacement for Griezzmann in Atletico Madrid, so they can’t leave tge place vacant even if the money seems huge and will be enticing to let him go considering his age. Looking from the other angle, Manchester United won’t be a team Griezmann will love to play for considering their recent performances which we hopefully will want them to be better before the end of the season. For now, it is not a good move for Griezzmann to accept.

Man United faces a huge problem: The attackers don't know how to score goals. Marcus Rashford has not been able to return to his peak form like last season, scoring only one goal this season. And Jadon Sancho is serving an internal suspension. New contract Rasmus Hojlund has yet to score in 10 appearances in the Premier League. Both  Antony also failed to score. It is accurate that coach Erik ten Hag wants to recruit Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann.
But Griezmann is happy in Spain and has no intention of leaving. During the summer, Griezmann was approached by Saudi Arabian clubs and immediately refused, so money was not an issue to recruit him. I think this deal is unlikely to succeed.

Ten hag's strategy to put eredivise as a central to buy the players have been massively criticized by many people. Ten hag has been doing something wrong that was weakening the club. No doubt that if people are also trying send lots of complaint toward him.
His strategy is a really wrong strategy. Picking eredivise players are the worst strategy. There have been many great players in the various clubs but why did ten hag do this?

Expecting MU to play as good as eredivise club is also very wrong. EPL was not the same like eredivise and this league is far competitive than eredivise. Ten hat needs try to reevaluate his strategy again.
Signing some players from the great clubs are sometimes giving him an answer like when MU was picking casemiro from real madrid.

I do support MU to get griezmann from atletico but the way MU was attracting him to come is so stupid. Giving him 3 times more of his current salary is so bad.

Apart from that we must also realise that Griezmann can sometimes be a flop at a new club. We know how much money Barcelona spent before and it was a waste because Griezmann could not play well and eventually returned to Atletico and found his rhythm again.
It does not rule out the possibility that this will also happen at Manchester United especially the scheme will be the same where Manchester United will provide a very high price which in the end this makes a condition where the gambling is very large.
I don't even see what's so special about Griezmann at the current high price and high salary. Indeed, his performance can be said to be better than when he was at Barcelona but after that I don't think there are other advantages that Griezmann can be proud of now.

Partey will leave coz arsenal doesn't need him anymore due to the injury prone. Meanwhile, havertz was still performing so badly. Arteta has stopped to put his hope on his shoulder. This is the main reason why club is seeking a new midfielder.
Arsenal has been targeting ivan toney but it seems like the gunners were putting new midfielder as the main priority. Arsenal has been targeting douglas since previous season but since douglas was not interest to join in arsenal and he was stills taying on aston villa instead of going to the arsenal. Im not sure if douglas has changed his mind regarding the decision to join in the arsenal. This is why arteta is trying to pursuit him again.

Luka Modric will probably leave Real Madrid after his contract expires at the end of this season and indeed he wants to stay longer with Real Madrid, but because he is getting old of course that will be a consideration for Real Madrid in giving him a new contract. His contribution to Real Madrid will be appreciated by fans and he is one of Real Madrid legends whose loyalty can surpass everything. As he is 38 years old and his physical condition seems to be declining and it is appropriate for him to look for an easier league to play in for the next 2 season.

I would be interested in seeing him play in the Saudi Arabian league with Ronaldo next season because he could be reunited with Ronaldo in one team. But we'll see what the decision is after this season ends, whether Modric will announce his retirement and join the board of the Real Madrid team or return to play with a new team in the coming season.

Luka is a legend at Real Madrid and his 12 years stay at the Spanish capital might finish when the season comes to an end. I think because of his age which is a declining factor Real Madrid might nit want to renew his contract.

 He should probably be the next big European star to grace the Saudi League if the right offer comes in for him but currently his aim and focus is to help Real get the La Liga title and have a good shot at the UCL because he has the experience on these competitions, It’ll be a sweet scene to watch when he reunites with either Karim Benzema or Ronaldo, as for joining the board I think that will be a thing of 1-2 years from now and not immediately because he’s still pretty cool with the ball and has a lot to offer.

I also think that Saudi is going to be a good destination for him. We all know that Saudi is improving a lot. And it is obviously going to be good for the league that a player like him joins. And the thing is moderate actually found his peak in his 30s. So it is going to be really good for any club that actually brings him in. Now, is it possible that he is not going to perform as well as he was previously doing? Yes of course, because we saw Benzema not performing as expected in the Saudi league. But it is definitely a chance worth checking with a player like Modrić.

Well, I actually amazed by the team from the SPL which is able to pay very large salaries and can really develop rapidly after so many European players have moved there.
Every player transfer is always done very well and they even provide what each player needs so it is very natural that more and more European players are interested in joining an SPL team.

The Saudi Pro League has now ranked 2nd in the top 6 national leagues, with the highest total transfer costs for the summer of 2023. With a lot of money, the Saudi Pro League even had the ambition to bring in Kylian Mbappe, a player considered the best young talent in football today. Although he failed to convince Mbappe, they still try attracting famous young players to their tournament. The Saudi Pro League, from now on, will cause all kinds of real trouble. No one can sit still when clubs in Saudi Arabia still spend a lot of money on shopping, and you are helpless. The European Football Confederation and FIFA (world) need to act to protect European football. They must change transfer laws to be consistent and need financial fairness laws to apply to the Saudi Pro League.

Of course, because all this is thanks to eastern billionaires who really invest and have fun with football so they don't hesitate or are not even afraid of losing money in building what they have, it doesn't rule out the possibility as we previously predicted that the SPL could become one of the popular leagues and rank among the biggest leagues.
Now the development of Saudi football is getting better day by day and people are starting to like football all over there, I sure it won't be long before the SPL becomes football that can be loved worldwide like other European Leagues.

Regarding Mbappe, it seems like there is no SPL team that can sign him because Mbappe himself has stated that he will not go to play in the SPL, he still wants to have a better career in European football, Mbappe has the desire to be able own several UCL titles and that is the reason he wants to play in European team.
If it about money I sure Mbappe can earn more there but he really prioritizes his career more.

It is true that the recruitment of players carried out by the SPL has had a significant impact on the development of European football and several coaches have also given statements to FIFA to be able to regulate player transfers so that not too many great players prefer go to Saudi.
But until now these regulations have not been issued and there is still very big opportunity for SPL teams to strengthen their teams by bringing in several other great players who are still playing in Europe.

I don't understand what you mean about "protect European football"
The football market is free, the players are free (within what their contracts allow), the teams are free... to negotiate what they want and with whoever they want.

For many years, European teams "ruined" smaller teams, always paying a lot of money to take young talents to Europe who stand out in their national clubs.
So, what are the Saudi Pro League clubs doing differently than the European ones?

I'm certainly also sad to see several European clubs being "dismantled", but I don't see anything illegal or immoral happening, it's just free market negotiation.
No one needs to be "protected".

Bayern Munich are ready to extend Joshua Kimmich's contract. The 28-year-old is out of contract in 2025. It seems that Bayern believe in Kimmich's performance until Bayern have started discussions for a new contract. But the funny thing is, Joshua Kimmich apparently does not have an agent. Joshua Kimmich immediately discussed with Bayern Munich about extending his contract.

There is some news about David Alaba leaving Real Madrid and moving back to Bayern Munich.
The fans of Bayern Munich are expecting to see David Alaba return to Bayern Munich and play for this team because David Alaba had many good memories in this team and Alaba earned many achievements in Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.
But he recently said he is not even thinking about leaving Real Madrid.

This is true and correct Bayern Munich have tried to lure their former defender back to the squad only fir the player to come out and clear everyone that he is happy with Real Madrid and do not see himself asides achieving the goals with Real Madrid he has set this year.
Bayern Munich has also made contact with Man United and it is now clear that he will be a part of the Bayern Munich club if plans align between the clubs. For some games now he has been on the bench due tactics just got a chance recently all for the cause of injury he should leave  if he wants.

I have not seen him playing too much, since he was brought out from the junior team he has grown into a strong solid man in the middle for Bayern Munich. He is still young, if not for the aggression he reminds me of Phil lahm. Thomas muller has also stated he wants to play a lot more in the next two seasons. He will be out of contract,  it doesn't look like he will have his contract extended.

Will Antonie Griezmann fit in well at Manchester United? i really don't believe so. what are your thoughts?

There are lots of rumor saying that Manchester United intends to bring in Antoine Griezmann and there are also those who say that Manchester United is offering a fairly large salary for this player if Antoine Griezmann is willing to joinning Manchester United.
Erik Ten Hag really intend to reshuffle Manchester United's players in the transfer market, considering that many Manchester United players are experiencing various kinds of problem and Erik Ten Hag is trying to sort out suitable players to joinning his team, we will see whether this rumor is true because Atletico Madrid nor has he confirmed the rumor.

Not sure why that would be a great transfer for them at all. Not like he is a player that they need, they do not really need a player like him, he is not a winger, he is not a pure striker neither but he is a forward and they have players there plenty, they do not need it. Whoever is the director that decides on these transfers at United must be thinking if they could keep getting more and more attacking players, one day they will be good and ignores that they do need a great defender.

I mean it's obvious that their defense sucks big time, they do score, but then they concede goals, their defense needs to get better, they do not need Griezmann they need a defender, and I mean like urgently this winter break if they can, and yet they ignore that and keep looking for attackers.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I'm not sure if Griezmann can even have a good performance at Manchester United. But we know Ten Hag and Macnshter United usually had bad performances in the transfer windows like we saw from them during the lat summer in the past.

I also doubt it, Griezmann ever joined Barcelona and he failed to perform in his best level in Barcelona. That's why he returned to Atletico Madrid. I think Griezmann only can play in his best form in Atletico Madrid, it is the only team that can optimize his ability. According to his experience in Barcelona, I'm sure he already got a big lesson and won't easily move to another team. If he still cared about his career, I assume he prefers to stay in Atletico Madrid although Man United made a big offer. Man United is a very unstable team, it is too risky to join Man United.

That makes me feel the same like you guys. I meant griezmann has failed in the barcelona and how will he try to bet on his luck to play for manchester united? It will be so good if he will able to perform better with atletico madrid but let's said if opposite thing to happen. This is going to be the end for his career. He will get many manchester united fans will be yelling him to leave from the club. Griezmann needs to think about this many times before he will try to decide which decision to be taken regarding the future of his career.

Griezmann can stay in atletico madrid. If he is willing to try a new atmosphere on his life and he shall go to the manchester united without being guaranteed if he will able to play perfectly in manchester united.

Manchester united was always doing failed transfer. No doubt that if fans are being so upset with ten hag. Ten hag is worst in the decision making. Many times ten hag wasted lots of money for nothing.
MU is finished. Will glazer able to provide ten hag another 100 millions? It's likely that will not be happening soon.

But are the transfers the problem or is the coach the problem? It is simple to just say that the transfers were all flops and didn't work out, but if the coach is the problem and has no plan how to integrate the new players into the team and how to give them a chance to prove themselves, transfers in any transfer period can become a problem. Whatever their plan is for Griezmann, it is a risky transfer for Griezmann as he knows how everything went with Sancho.

Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United, I've a feeling that deal will not take place because there's definitely alot of things that could go run, because Atletico Madrid needs the Frenchman, he's key player in the frontline and moving to English league will mean huge adaptation for Griezmann. Signing players that turn into flops at the end of the day is something that's concerning. We focused on the important aspects of the team, Erik Ten Hag ensure to sign more promising players this summer and he's currently scouting players that ought to be added to his team inother to improve the team's performance this season.

I do not find it realistic for Griezmann to go to England because he has been in Spain for years and has been playing very successfully. He is especially in form at Atletico Madrid and supports the team with his goals. Atletico needs Griezmann now. Manchester United might consider alternative strikers. The French star seems very happy in Spain.

Of course, he can leave Real Madrid because every player leaves the team one day. Real let outstanding players such as Sergio Ramos and CR7 leave, despite their services. Alaba may also leave the team, as they even sent players who had established a strong bond with the club. Bayern would be the best option for him.

Arsenal are pursuing the signing of Aston Villa super player Douglas Luiz,and according to report,he is one of the main target Arteta wants to acquire before the window slams shut by January.It is indeed a nice business if Arsenal can make this one materialise because Arsenal's holding midfielder,Thomas Partey hasn't been consistent at all this season,and because of that,the mind of getting someone who can pair with Declan Rice in that midfield is ideal,and the perfect person who can replace Partey is Douglas Luiz who has been doing exceptionally well at Villa.I really can't wait for this deal to materialise,because his presence in the Arsenal dressing room will bring more spirit to the team.

Douglas Luiz has been linked to Arsenal last summer but Arsenal have decided to withdraw to gets him because they want to focusing to gets Declan Rice and now after Thomas Partey got injured and Jorginho performance is still not stable Arsenal will attempts to gets Douglas Luiz this winter and at Aston Villa Douglas Luiz has been showing significant progress and his performance was quite better compared to last year Douglas Luiz even can able to defend Brazil national team again
The price of Douglas Luiz currently increase especially he has signing new contract with Aston Villa until 2026 besides that i am sure Aston Villa won't let him to leave easily because he is important player for Aston Villa and the rumour is if Arsenal really serious want to gets him they have to spend at least 55 millions or could be more

At the beginning of last season, it was rumored that Joshua Kimmich would leave Bayern Munich and join one of the big clubs in Laliga, but that did not happen, and considering his current role in the team, there is very little chance that Bayern Munich will let go of this player.
It's quite interesting that he doesn't have an agent because currently, agents have quite an important role in a player's career because they have a role in negotiating and securing the player's contract. Maybe Kimmich doesn't feel he needs it because he wants to stay at this club and feels he can handle all the negotiation matters for a player. himself or he just hasn't found the right agent yet.

Arsenal football club is still following the same process they'll used the last they approached him and they failed, the player was opened to move out of Villa only that Arsenal did not make an official bid early before the transfer deadline.

Arsenal has someone in place for Thomas Partey only that they need a player to come in since there is enough speculation about  the exit if the player 
Injuries has lead to his poor season and Arsenal aims high, now he is one of the players that becomes a limitation to that. Leaving is wise.
