⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[legendbtc]

Pape is turning 18 next summer and is set to be part of Chelsea's project. But why does Chelsea always focus on young talent instead of buying experienced players? It would be better for Chelsea to invest in a matured striker who suits their style of play. They need players with experience to strengthen the team immediately, rather than focusing on players for the next 4-5 years.

Chelsea right now are buying experienced and young players both. Experienced players for the regular team and young talents to be helpful in future. I think it's a good strategy as most of the clubs focus on the current squad and are unable to get players when their regular players gets old. I have seen lot of clubs who have faced such situation so it is also important for a club to focus on young talents also to groom them for the time being so that they can use them later on when the club needs them.

Currently, Chelsea has not officially confirmed this deal, but it is consistent with the transfer strategy at Stamford Bridge, And this is also what many other rich clubs are doing. But here, I see them spending a lot of money on young players, and I see a need for more stability in the play of these young players. If only they could bring in a classy striker. He will help the team be more stable. For example, they brought in Mbappe. Perhaps this year's season will be completely different for them. Recruiting young players, like Chelsea, is betting on them. I find it risky.

I must say that I cannot understand why some teams transfer 33-34 year old players. Chelsea's transfer strategy is very good. Once you have the Wonderkids, success will come gradually. They can also sell players and earn extra income. Currently, the scout team has a lot of work to do in this strategy. I think the scout team should report promising young people to Chelsea in the most accurate way.

To stabilize their strength they need to recruit 1 or 2 players aged 33-34 years and apart from that they can transition a change with their young squad. Last summer chelsea made major improvements in their team but in fact they are still hampered by being able to recover more quickly this season. Yes they may need a lot of time to get back to strength so they have to focus on buying younger players to be able to support them in the coming season.
Chelsea must learn from Manchester city how to recruit players, where Manchester City does not buy many players, but one or three players they buy can contribute as expected. Chelsea has spent a lot of money in the transfer window but the quality of the players they bought have not contributed much to the team progress.

Hojbjerg is said to be a target for Juventus. They would really make use of strengthening their midfield these days. Because Pogba is still absent due to the same reason. I don't have any expectation left from him anymore. Juventus must also be wishing to get rid of him as soon as possible. Filling his place in the team with an active decent player would be great for Juventus.

Hojbjerg is a really good midfielder. If they don't have anyone better on their radar I think they should go for him. Their cost wouldn't be too high for Juventus I assume. His current contract ends in less than two years. Maybe he would also like some new adventure.

There is no hope left for Pogba. It's really too late for Juventus to come back from the comeback that they had to lose a moment ago. Juventus needed to strengthen their midfield. You know, Fagioli has been banned by the court. Hojbjerg is a nice goal and will add a lot to Juventus' midfield, the closer they are to this goal the better. Hojbjerg has a good career and will adapt to the Italian league if the transfer takes place quickly.

Chelsea is a big club and they need players who can deliver and keep getting results for the club. I don't really believe in this idea of buying young players and hoping that they will deliver in the future. Big clubs go for players who are ready to deliver at the immediate. There is no guarantee that these players will deliver anything good in the future. Other clubs will also have their recruitment strategy for the future and they are still making success presently. Gathering inexperienced players doesn't make any sense, they should mix experienced plyers with inexperienced players so that there will be balance in the team.

So far it looks as if Chelsea will still need a lot of time to get back to their shape from years ago or maybe from the year when they won the Champions League. The biggest problem will be to get back into the top four. There are more and more teams that turned into fierce contenders for those valuable Champions League qualifiers. I doubt that within a year or so Chelsea can push aside teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa and some of the other teams that are at least on eye-level with Chelsea.

Arsenal have taken an interest in Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt:
The English side Arsenal are trying to figure out how to sign Dutch and Bayern Munich center Back Matthijs de Ligt, but the move will be unlikely in the January not in summer transfer window. Arsenal already have good players in defense, such as W.Saliba, Gabriel, etc., but I think they are trying to improve it more. Currently Arsenal are in first place in the league table and still hold first place, as well as dominating the English Premier League competition. But let's see if Arsenal beat West ham tonight so they will again take first place because they played fewer matches than Liverpool.
 
At the end of this, I assumed that if Arsenal signed Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich so I think there would be no better defense than Arsenal in English Premier League competition because 24-year-old Matthijs de Ligt is one of the best center-backs, and he has such a good mentality to understand other defenders and stop the attack. But let's see what happens next. Share your opinion with us, guys.

That would be a pretty good addition IMHO. I don't care how much they have to spend for De Ligt. Arsenal need big players to get the title. For 2 seasons they are pretty close to the championship but still it's not enough. Why don't they spend more and secure the championship. Team chemistry is already good but they need 2 or 3 big additions to the squad. Other title contenders have big rosters and have plenty of options for rotation. Arsenal have smaller rotation. They need to sign more quality players.

Young players who are inexperienced but have good potential in the future are good targets. Choosing old players with a good record is certain, but of course it will require a fairly expensive price and many clubs will fight over it. it's just another option to choose. Chelsea is starting to hunt for talented young players such as Pape Daouda Diong, who is a 17-year-old midfielder from Senegal. However, the 17 year old midfielder will only join Chelsea in the summer of 2024. This is because Daouda Diong will only be 18 years old in 2024. Apart from Daouda Diong, Chelsea has also confirmed recruiting Ecuador wonderkid, Kendry Paez

According to some rumors, the England nation team is trying to convince Guardiola to join them for the next World Cup.


I don't think he will accept, however it may go with the Spain team...

[bitpotter]

While we are getting closer to the transfer window there are some players who are out of the teams and the should be hired probably by other teams during this winter.
De Gea is a player who didn't play for any team after he left Manchester United.
Alan Shearer the former player of Newcastle started talking about this player and he said Eddie Howe should hire De Gea during January for this team because Nick Pope the first goalkeeper of Neacastle is injured and can't play for his team because of shoulder pain.
I think De Gea will chose to play for a team and Newcastle seems interesting option for him.

When I heard that De Gea was leaving Manchester United at the beginning of the year, I was very surprised and found it unnecessary. Onana, who replaced him, has performed worse than him so far. If De Gea had been there instead of Onana, Manchester United might have been continuing in the UCL. De Gea could be a good alternative to Pope. I think it would be a logical transfer.

The continuity for the Manchester United squad continues and it seems that there are several parties who regret De Gea's departure. He is an experienced goalkeeper and Manchester United should not let him leave, even though his heart is still at Old Trafford. But unfortunately the new Dutch coach destroyed him and preferred Onana even at a high cost. Don't know what Manchester United's fate will be next and maybe they will be worse off this season if they continue to rely on Onana.

Onana isn't a bad keeper, but he can't show his best thus far and I don't know what the problem is for him. It's difficult to tell whether everything would have been better with De Gea, because I remember that De Gea also made mistakes from time to time, but the way he was sent away by ten Hag was bullshit. But is anyone still surprised about ten Hag's behavior? I don't think so. De Gea is one victim of many and he wasn't the last. Sancho is also have lots of trouble with him and there are several other players who are not ok with ten Hag.

The Premier League is considered the mecca of football because it is the best league in the world, it is not surprising that top players really want to play there. Big Premier League clubs always compete to bring in top players every time the transfer market opens, club activity is very busy because they are competing to bring in new players. Now that Manchester City has Haaland, he managed to conquer the Premier League last season with achievements with the club and also individually.

Liverpool and Arsenal are trying to compete to put pressure on Manchester City after dominating the Premier League for so long. The competition will be more exciting if there are players who are Haaland's rivals. I think Mbappe is the player who has the most potential to make the Premier League even more challenging. The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi is over, now it's time to revive the new rivalry between Mbappe and Haaland. I hope Arsenal and Liverpool can compete to get Mbappe to make the Premier League even more exciting.

I just checked how long it is ago that Liverpool won the title for the last time and I noticed it was in 2020. That's quite some time ago already and apart from that close title race when Manchester City won the title with 93 points 1 point ahead of Liverpool, it wasn't all that exciting since then. Arsenal put up a good fight last season, but in the end it was quite obvious that Manchester City would outperform them. This season we have a few teams that can give Manchester City a hard time, but I think Liverpool might probably be the strongest of them all.

If Arsenal can succeed to sign a world class defender like Matthijs de Ligt, then it'll be a great addition to the current squad and would further increase their chances of winning an English Premier League title at the end of the season. Right from his days at Ajax before he was transferred to Juventus and now Bayern Munich, de Ligt is one defender that possesses the leadership qualities of marshaling out the defense line of any team he's playing in abd if he can be convinced to come to.the Emirates stadium, then it'll surely be a great signing for them.

That being said, I think it'll not be easy for such deal to go through as Bayern Munich are currently in need of defenders. Benjamin Pavard is currently injured and that's why the club wouldn't want to release de Ligt

This sounds like a great idea to me too. Although the transfer windows for the European league have not open yet for the next year's January windows but there's been serious talks about how Arsenal is likely to bring the good defender to join their team and I am trying to imagine what this outcome will really do for Arsenal but generally it is a plus for the club as that will help them tighten their defense and it will be great for their outings there after.

I agree with you. It seems very small chance that Guardiola will accept the offer from England nation team. Unless the offer comes from Spain national team, Guardiola must consider it because he is a Spanish coach. It should be his dream to be the coach of Spain national team. However, I don't hear any rumor about the offer from Spain national team.

Onana isn't a bad keeper, but he can't show his best thus far and I don't know what the problem is for him. It's difficult to tell whether everything would have been better with De Gea, because I remember that De Gea also made mistakes from time to time, but the way he was sent away by ten Hag was bullshit. But is anyone still surprised about ten Hag's behavior? I don't think so. De Gea is one victim of many and he wasn't the last. Sancho is also have lots of trouble with him and there are several other players who are not ok with ten Hag.

Ten Hag have some problems with Man United players like De Gea, Ronaldo, and Sancho. That's why Ten Hag don't want to keep the players in Man United squad. Onana may still have good relationship with Ten Hag, it is the same as Maguire. It can be the big reason why these players still play with Man united although they do some big mistakes.

Another player of Napoli left this team and as we saw in the news from Eljif Elmas and Napoli this player was getting far from Napoli and he finally left the team.
Eljif Elmas is a young player and he could be definitely a good investment for Napoli but decided to sell Eljif Elmas to Leipzig,
This 24-year-old player joined Napoli in 2019 for 19 million euros and he played in 189 games for this Italian team in all these games he scored 14 goals.

Howe has planned to sign de gea in this month but this totally depends on the numerous factors. I can't sure about that since howe has not been trying to approach him. It seems like that newcastle really needs to sign the new goalkeeper. De gea is a great choice and he was not old enough to do that.
Newcastle can see him as best alternative caused by de gea has been fully experienced to play in the EPL and UCL. It makes him a bit special compared to the other club which was not having as many experience as him. Newcastle can see him as an opportunity to recruit the new players soon.
As long as it was european club and i think that de gea will be starting to consider it too. I meant that if de gea can also see it as the most important thing to comeback again to the EPL.
We do know that de gea has been refusing so many offers from saudi pro league and im sure he will be seeing it as an opportunity to play in the EPL again once newcsalte will be sending official offer for him but im still having a question.
Will newcastle try to change its coach as well? This club needs to hire a good coach. Having howe on its side was so horrible. Howe needs to be replaced as well.

[bering]

Wanting to sell another defender when they haven't replaced Benjamin Pavard already? What's the plan of Bayern Munich honestly? I don't understand.
Though I've seen that they have plans to sign Rapheal Varane. This is a player committed towards staying with Manchester United I don't know what Thomas Tuchel wants. Varane already aged and I don't think he'll give them the hundred percent they'll be wanting from him.

For Arsenal, they shouldn't make mistake with chase of much defenders, they need a central forward amd that's Ivan Toney. Why invest to get another defender when you'll be seeing Timber return?

I don't think Bayer Munich will sell Matthijs de Light, he is the main player in Bayern Munich. It is impossible that Bayern Munich will lose one of their great defenders, they need de Light because they will play harder matches in the second half of the season. Although they plan to sign Varane, no guarantee to sign Varane successfully because I heard a rumor that Real Madrid may negotiate with Man United to sign Varane, too. We also don't know whether Varane could play better than de Light in Bayern Munich. Another thing, it is true that Varane is no longer young player. It is better to keep de Light than signing Varane, right?  

If Arsenal has a lot of money, it is not a problem to sign new defenders and attackers. Although Timber will recover and he will return soon, Arsenal still needs a new defender to ensure their squad depth.

Arsenal currently has solid defense with Gabriel Magalhaes dan William Saliba as the duet at Arsenal defensive lines but indeed they should be look for new players on that position because they cannot rely on those players for each matches and about Matthijs De Ligt since he moved from Juventus to Bayern Munich he wasn't gets a lot of opportunities to playing regularly with Bayern Munich but not because he unable to showing good performance this because De Ligt got long term injured which make Bayern Munich cannot played him until today so possibly Bayern Munich will sell him this january

While he got injured Tuchel was playing Kim Min-jae as centre back and the result is very impressive because Kim Min-jae can able to performing well to guard Bayern Munich defensive lines so i think Matthijs De Ligt will thinking his future at this team because he lost his place at Bayern Munich starting lineup but if this rumour is true i personally not sure Matthijs De Ligt could be a good transfer for Arsenal because this player was injured prone and during this season he has several times to gets injured which make Bayern Munich was unable to played him

[asriloni]

Another player of Napoli left this team and as we saw in the news from Eljif Elmas and Napoli this player was getting far from Napoli and he finally left the team.
Eljif Elmas is a young player and he could be definitely a good investment for Napoli but decided to sell Eljif Elmas to Leipzig,
This 24-year-old player joined Napoli in 2019 for 19 million euros and he played in 189 games for this Italian team in all these games he scored 14 goals.

Glad to see that elmas was taking the right decision for this . I meant that if he needs to leave from the club to gain more experience in the new team. Napoli is a bad team for him and it will be far better if he can join in the leipzig. Napoli sees him becomes unuseful player.
His performance is not that impressive in the napoli and im waiting for other players to take the same decision like him in the upcoming days. Some players like osimhen and kvarat shall leave from the club to get better experience to join in the good club.

They have lots of demands but they were not having strong mentality to leave from their comfort zone. Osimhen needs to join in a good club and he can develop himself to be even better than before.
Im quite disappointed with the performance from osimhen this season. I hope he can gain his mentality back once he joins in a good club. Osimhen needs try so hard to develop himself on napoli caused by napoli is not having good environment to do that.

While he got injured Tuchel was playing Kim Min-jae as centre back and the result is very impressive because Kim Min-jae can able to performing well to guard Bayern Munich defensive lines so i think Matthijs De Ligt will thinking his future at this team because he lost his place at Bayern Munich starting lineup but if this rumour is true i personally not sure Matthijs De Ligt could be a good transfer for Arsenal because this player was injured prone and during this season he has several times to gets injured which make Bayern Munich was unable to played him

Munich has found a solution in their defense line after De Ligt was injured. and De Ligt himself has not contributed much to Munich. this season he only played 8 times.
and Arsenal's interest in strengthening the defensive line is good for bringing in De Ligt if Munich is willing to sell him in the transfer market. But whether De Ligt will be successful or not at the new club depends on the playing opportunities he is given. De Ligt is a tough defender, it would be a shame if he failed to compete with names that Arteta previously trusted.

[tyz]

According to the website FCBInside, Bayern Munich is interested to buy Manuel Koné from Borussia M'Gladbach, also a Bundesliga team. The clubs wants him as a "holding six" before the defense a position that coach Tuchel believes is currently not well-filled. The website also states that Bayern is not interested in Joao Palhinha from FC Fulham anymore for this position, because Fulham wants to much money for him.

But unfortunately the new Dutch coach destroyed him and preferred Onana even at a high cost. Don't know what Manchester United's fate will be next and maybe they will be worse off this season if they continue to rely on Onana.

In my opinion the opportunity for David de Gea to take Newcastle offer will definitely  be accepted, if it is confirmed that Eddie Howe wants to get David de Gea  services. that way at Newcastle at least De Gea will be able to give his best and prove to the Man United coach that the decision to fire him was the wrong choice.  I know that Onana will never be able to replace De Gea role at Man United, so it was a big risk when Ten Hag took that option. on the other  hand with De Gea status not currently defending any club,  Newcastle should immediately speed up his recruitment. remembering to see  how far De Gea fits with  Newcastle players.
