⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Majestic-milf]

Sancho is back at the right club, it would be good if he left Manchester United. Even though he played without Sancho, Erik Ten Hag still gave bad results for the team. Dortmund feels they can still utilize Sancho' abilities as before. So I wouldn't question that decision too much. The worse Manchester United's performance, the more it strengthens Sancho argument that Erik Ten Hag is incompetent to handle a club as big as Manchester United.

 I agree with you on this but Erik doesn't see it that way especially as of recent he enjoys using the same tactics to expect a different result.

There are rumors that the Red Devils will be active in the transfer market and are already eyeing several players they want to buy to cover the midfield, I might add it would be better to buy another striker, but the biggest difficulty is that Ten Hag always fails to choose players.

For me, it's really not necessary to get new players when you can't fully utilize the potential of the ones you have. He can't manage this ones he has so what's the assurance that he'd be able to do well if they get more players? It will be like wasting funds. Instead of buying more, he should sell some of the wingers and get new and reliable ones rather than adding to the ones that are there already to avoid unnecessary flooding of players in the club.
 Let's use Chelsea as an instance, they have a lot of players to the point that the coach becomes confused as to who he'd start and who he'd reserve which makes him end up making wrong decisions so if Man UTD decide to get more players instead of selling some, the problem will become worse for Erik ten Hag.

What do you think? Can Madrid afford to rely on limited players? By facing a busy schedule, players are definitely required to remain in top condition. Isn't it ideal that having anticipation could be a solution? Next month restarts the UCL and Madrid doesn't take advantage of the transfer window?

I think Ancelotti might be too confident if he doesn't recruit more players for his extremely thin defensive line. Perhaps they are putting all their efforts into the Mbappe deal, and they also want the media to pay more attention to this deal. In the coming time, we might hear about additional names for the defensive line because I don't think Real Madrid will perform well with just center-backs Nacho, Rudiger, and the makeshift defender Aurelien Tchouameni until the end of the season, especially in the Champions League matches.

The defensive line of real madrid was not as bad as you think. Real madrid have been concering goals against the strong clubs and this is a common thing and it doesn't even mean recruit the new player will become the main answer to strengthen the defenders of real madrid. There shall be a lot of considerations to be taken before try to recruit the new player. It's caused by you are also gambling with the performance from the player as well. I remind you how real madrid lost a lot when it was getting hazard from chelsea. Recruiting the new player doesn't mean if he can play good in the squad in a short time.

Perhaps you've misunderstood my point. I don't think Real's defensive line is bad; I'm just saying that their defensive squad is too thin to maintain the intense level of play consistently. What if, unfortunately, Nacho or Rudiger gets injured or suspended in the near future? In football, we never know what might happen, so it's best to have necessary contingency plans.

My bad, i forgot that if some CB were injured like eder and alaba. It's a very hard situation for real madrid but im sure that ancellotti has been planning something good like try to bring the new centre back to the squad.
There is also another alternative solution for real madrid like try to get the new CB from its academy. This is the only last solution owned by real madrid once it was not having backup for the centre back.

Real Madrid is experiencing a deficiency in the position of centre back. The only problem ancellotti has been confirming that if he will not sign the new CB this month. Is that mean if eder and alaba can comeback soon?

I just read that news and that's what ancellotti said. That's probably the same situation that was happening with ancellotti at the early of season. Real madrid was missing a lot of its attackers and it was also forcing real madrid to do rotation in the squad.
Real madrid may be facing a crisis once more defenders will be losing due to the injury.

This is a hard situation for real madrid. I just hear that if carvajal is ready to play again. So, real madrid is still having a backup for CB.

Real Madrid gave Ancelotti a new contract until 2026. This means that Real Madrid still really needs Ancelotti's manpower. This means that the speculation regarding Ancelotti and Brazil is over. But I can't know if this is Madrid's move to keep getting money if they leave. Ancelotti has thanked the president of Brazilian football for being interested in using his services. It seems that Ancelotti in these words slightly indicates that he will honor the contract from Real Madrid.

Madrid announced Ancelotti's new deal through June 2026 on Friday, after repeated speculation linking him with the Brazil national team.

Im happy with Ancelotti's Real Madrid contract renewal. Fans consider it an early Christmas present! I can't imagine a better situation. Real Madrid's recent success is due to Ancelotti's unmatched ability to connect with players. This contract extension indicates how much the club values his leadership. I always thought the tales about him leaving for Brazil were rumors. Madrid's move confirms it. Strategic and sensible, it ensures leadership stability for years to come. I can't wait to see where Ancelotti takes us next when his extension shows his impact!

I have been watching skyness and jadon sancho becomes the hottest topic caused by manchester united potentially send him back to the dortmund as a loam. I would prefer to see him join in the dortmund rather than stay even longer in the toxic club like manchester united.
Jadon deserves to have great future and he can back again to play for terzic in the dortmund. It will not so bad caused by he will much more needed by dortmund rather than united. It's a shame for united caused by the club is not always able convincing his player to stay due to the toxic environment.

Im not calling him bad but jadon was destroying his career since he agreed to join in the manchester united. He shall have learned a lot from what happened with him caused by it will help him to determine which club that is giving him better chance to play.
It's another chance for jadon to continue his career as a football player. Dortmund is starting to have interest in recruiting him back again although he will be coming as a loan only.
At least this is far better rather than leaving from manchester united and got nothing. Jadon shall not miss an opportunity to perform better than before.

Just a few months as Birmingham coach, Wayne Rooney was immediately fired from the coaching chair and this was not without reason because in 15 matches managing Birmingham he was only able to achieve 2 wins. That is a very bad record for a coach, even though I had hopes that Wayne Rooney would be able to bring Birmingham to promotion in the EPL next season. In fact, before he became Birmingham coach, this team was in 5th position in the standings, but unfortunately due to countless defeats, Birmingham now sits in 20th position and is closer to the relegation zone.

Birmingham's owner doesn't need to think long about sacking Wayne Rooney because if he continues the results will remain the same and it could even threaten Birmingham's fate in this season's championship competition. It seems that as a former football player or even a legend he was a great player but to become a coach would be a big failure in his career.

Erik Ten Hag will be quick to accept the deal of Sancho not after what has spark between them this season. I will say that it's even better to remain where you are and appreciated than get maltr in another place. When players live Dortmund to English Premier League and other Tier A leagues, they represent well just like we have Haaland but I think so far, Dortmund has been the perfect place for Sancho, if the deal can be fast done, he better live for the transfer than get trash and warm bench everyday in Manchester United that doesn't look like going to the Champions League next season.

January transfer season doesn't have much available players like when we have many in the end of the season because many teams are been careful with how they sell their players, most of the time they don't sell good players except for less reputable clubs that do need money to see good ones that end up turning a new leaf in theit respective new club, I hope Erik get but this wouldn't change anything for them.

More precisely, Xabi Alonso is currently being targeted by many of Europe's top teams because of Xabi Alonso's success in creating or building the Leverkusen team as it is today. I think it is quite worthy because Xabi Alonso has shown his qualities so it's only natural that many top teams want him.
I think the rumors for Bayern are still quite far away because so far Tauchel has been successful and has made Bayern Munich's performance quite strong, but we don't know at the end of the season what could happen if Tauchel has failed to meet the expectations or targets that have been set by Bayern management.

It's natural that many football teams currently have great interest in Xabi Alonso because if you look at him he is quite successful in managing Leverkusen as an ordinary team and doesn't have a lot of money to buy quality players. But because of his extraordinary ability, he is able to combine players with minimal experience to compete with other strong teams in the Bundesliga and the many good records that Xabi Alonso has achieved this season for himself with Leverkusen.

Both Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and several other teams are still quite open to making offers for him to coach. But I think he will finish one season with Leverkusen and if he succeeds in bringing a title to Leverkusen or finishes as runner-up in the Bundesliga then Real Madrid will move more quickly for him.

I think Ancelotti is a very good coach. Perfect fit for Real Madrid. That's why I think contract extensions were the best decision. With the decision to extend the contract for 2 years, Real Madrid took an important step to ensure stability. As far as I can see, all the players are happy with his management. It's a good decision for the peace of the team.

He's untouchable at the moment. He has been very solid this season so far. Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti made a wise decision to extend the contract until 2026, and this was finalized even before the holidays, bringing joy to the fans. Staying at Madrid was the right call for him, anyone can easily gets the idea after summing up the current state of Brazil team. Ancelotti's calm and strategic coaching style suits Madrid team well. He effectively manages the players, nurturing young talent and placing each player in positions that suit them. It seems like he deserves to finish his coaching career at Real Madrid.

If Xabi can win either Bundesliga or Europa League, it's better for Manchester United to hire him and kick the bald guy. Manchester United already lose their legacy as one of toughest team in Premier League. They need to find a good coach who can able to develop the whole team, just like Xabi who wasn't sign many players, but he develop the existing players with a new strategy.

Are you sure Manchester United will sack Erik Ten Hag that easily? the article seems like Manchester United prefers this one coach even though his performance is not so good to apply the strategy in the game. Is that because Erik Ten Hag is a coach who does not disobey or in other words he always agrees with what management says? or maybe this is just my wild thoughts? I don't know.
Xabi is doing well at Leverkusen so it's natural that he's being targeted by many big teams in Europe. His ability to bring Leverkusen into the game we see today is remarkable. He started from the bottom and it wasn't easy.

Manchester United, as a club with a rich history, is very natural because many fans hope that a change of coach will be made soon, considering that what ETH has done has not brought much change to a team as big as MU.
And we all know with Xabi Alonso's current quality, being able to bring Bayer Leverkusen to the lead in the Bundesliga standings without being defeated is an extraordinary achievement.
and in my opinion it would be very appropriate to coach MU, especially with the many quality players currently at MU, maybe it won't be difficult for Xabi to bring MU back to its glory days.
Even though it is not easy to return to the glory days, I am sure that with the qualities that Xabi has, he will be able to do it.

Jim Ratcliffe will definitely consider Ten Hag position as manager, if United continues to experience inconsistency then Ten Hag position will definitely be threatened with dismissal, and vice versa. I think The Red Devils management worthy also include Xabi Alonso name on their wanted list, if Ten Hag is actually kicked out of Old Trafford. We know that Ratcliffe now has full authority to manage United management, after acquiring a minority stake of 25% in the club. If previously no one had the authority to fire Ten Hag, now Jim Ratcliffe is the angel of death for Ten Hag.

To be honest, Ten Hag performance was not completely bad, United players also contributed and were responsible for the inconsistencies they have experienced so far. Injury factors, problems adapting to new players, and differences in understanding with Sancho are other reasons why United is currently experiencing a decline in performance. I think if there hasn't been any improvement in the second half of the season, it won't be just Ten Hag whose position is threatened, the players will also feel the same way, I mean potentially being released.

It's true that many clubs currently have him as their preferred candidate, but he doesn't have an exit clause for any clubs other than the ones he played for as a player. He would therefore have to fulfill his contract until 2026 or a high transfer fee would have to be paid for him. It's questionable whether clubs will do that if there are alternatives.

I mean the relationship that Ancelotti has with his players is pretty good. He has got a good relationship with the younger ones and he can make them good. He can make them grow. I must say he would have been the perfect fit for the Brazilian national team. I mean Brazil is always filled with young talents. But Ancelotti is definitely untouchable for Real Madrid as you have said.

Real Madrid has faith in him. I also heard that Real Madrid won't be signing new players. So I think Real Madrid has good faith in him to win the UCL and La Liga.

Madrid, Bayern and also Liverpool are the teams that Xabi has played for and these three clubs can only open the Xabi clause at Leverkusen apart from these three teams of course Xabi has to fulfill his responsibilities at Leverkusen until 2026, I think by including these three clubs in the contract that of course this shows that these three teams are the most special clubs for Xabi, but unfortunately these three clubs are not yet interested in bringing in there is a risk in signing Xabi because of his minimal experience, It is true that Xabi has succeeded in making Leverkusen appear impressive so far, but this will not necessarily happen to a new club if Xabi leaves for Madrid, Bayern or Liverpool.

It's no wonder that he is being fought over by many clubs, it's because he can show that he can bring a club to play well. I personally have not heard the future of Xabi Alonso, he also has not said anything about his future, whether he will spend his contract with Leverkusen, or he has a strong desire to leave and look for new chalenges.
But I think he's doing the right thing now, I mean he's just focusing on the job he has to get done, yes at least to be able to bring Leverkusen to the championship this season. If he manages to do that he will certainly get more offers from other clubs and that can make him more free to go to which club.
For now I want to see him finish this season, whether he will be able to become a chmpion or not.

I don't know why but I feel Xabi to Leverkusen seems hard to me. Xabi has just started at Leverkusen and no doubt United is a big club but I feel he might want to continue a bit more years at Leverkusen before going on to manage some big clubs. As for United also, there will be lot of other experienced candidates in priority before Xabi on the list so even if he is on the list someone else might replace ten Haag if board is thinking of sacking him. Xabi does have qualities but situation at United needs someone big and experienced who can build up a huge squad well.

The January transfer window as come,and different teams will need new players to fill in the different positions in their team.The race for the tittle is hitting up,and the defending champions,Mancity will be looking forward to starting their regular winning streak that they normally have but they would need to fill in some void they left irreplaced in the team since Mahrez and Gundogan left.
One team that will also be looking forward to getting new players is Arsenal,they have dropped in performance in the last couple of matches,and they need to go to the transfer window and sign players who can boost moral and elevate their winning mentality again.They were thinking of signing Douglas Luiz,but I think that is really going to be a difficult set of business, because Aston Villa are doing well at the moment,and won't want to let their star player leave just like that,so I don't think that business can go through so easily.

What makes you Think Xavi is going to leave Barcelona and come to Manchester United? There is every tendency that he is well paid in the Spain than they would do in Manchester United and even if they offer to pay him more than in Old Trafford, what if the conditions are too much to bear? What if they gave him a contract to make sure he lead the team to the top of the table before the end of the season and must win the Champions league or Premier League next season, if this condition cannot be delivered, I don't think he is going to come to their rescue.

Barcelona is only slightly different from Manchester United, they aren't too good the half of the season they have demonstrate so far, look at where they are sitting now and look where they were sitting last season, nothing less between first and second, they top the league throughout last season but the way they are going now. They are wearing out and I fear how they are going to cope when the Champions League resume by February.
