⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

At least Chelsea still have to keep him and considering that this is still half way through the season, he has to complete his work until the end of the season and after that he will be evaluated properly. I know that Chelsea is in a bad position in the standings. But look at other teams like Manchester United, Brighton, Newcastle, they are also doing a less than good job this season and it will be an exciting chapter to see the competition there is to be in the big six at the end of the season.

Even though Chelsea wasn't good in this season, but at least they're better than the last season. I think many people are comparing Chelsea with small teams which currently stand higher than Chelsea' position, this is wrong. People should compare the current Chelsea with the previous Chelsea, this is the good comparation.

Become Pochettino isn't easy, he manage Chelsea with under pressure because people are expect him to change Chelsea.

But it's kind of weird that this is the second season in a row that the team has performed poorly. It's not a bad performance though, more like an unlike Chelsea. And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

I read on some news said that if chelsea is considering sacking him too. Pochettino is still repeating the same mistakes again and again. How many times he has been targeting by the fans caused by his inconsistency in taking a good decision making for the club. People are also feeling tired of him. Chelsea needs someone who can properly analyze the condition of club anytime. Someone that can at least put the players into the right position and does less experiment to the club unlike pochettino.

I thought that pochettino was good, but it is a big no for chelsea after it have seen what he has done in the club. Chelsea is still stuck in the same place, and that is it. I see no point in defending him right now.
Pochettino has made too many mistakes and it can't be accepted. The bad decision making by pochettino has been trhowing away so many opportunities got by the club.
Do you think it's good to keep him much longer when chelsea has not made any progress since he was coming to the club? The match against middles told us how bad pochettino was in the decision making.

Poch inconsistency is making the fans get tired pretty early and that’s one thing that’s putting his job on the line. He makes poor decisions and choices in lineups that cost the club the win so many times and this is one makor reason the fans are kicking against him still being in charge.

 Well the owners aren’t too serious and football minded to see these things yet though. But I believe when the fans start kicking then he’ll probably get fired. Poch wasn’t quite experienced to takeover this young Chelsea team and that’s one thing he’s suffering.The inexperience, this team is young and requires quite a lot of experience to keep them in shape. He makes wrong selection choices and it’s not safe to keep him especially when he haven’t achieved anything significant in hos short stay

Every one is going with his own strategy and want some quick results from them which are wrong because currently team is doing good even their spot and few matches are not good, but they are having positive change which is good and if they are keep going then surely we can expect more positive results which are needed as well Pochettino is good person which its own strategy and knowledge he is trying to have consistency which is not easy but as things are going we can expect better end of this season and surely if management able to keep faith then we will have much improvement in coming season.

Few players are young and need more time for having adjustment and bringing their best with changes surely still having impact, and they are developing all which will be brought better things and Chelsea could be again on his best in coming years.

You got to be kidding me if you were expecting him to be good. He was on Tottenham for 5-6 years iirc but nothing really impressive there and yeah Tottenham is not really a team that are expected to win the league but they were not really a threat either way. He somehow got a job on PSG and obviously he won the league which is expected but he didnt win the UCL even with an impressive squad like PSG so actually its just kinda miracle that he landed another job on EPL especially Chelsea

Him spending that long time coaching Tottenham is not even the big deal because we knew the standard of Tottenham then, they were not challenging for title, they are just making effort to qualify to the Champions Leage; and he was not even good enough to win a single trophy for the team despite having some good players with individual quality.

While coaching PSG, Pochettino has all the players he needed to succeed in all competition, but he failed to do his job well, he couldn't achieve his main aim of joining the club which was to win Champions League for the club despite having players like Messi, Neymar, Ramos, Mbappe, and lots more quality players in his squad.

[alankasman]

Timo Werner is a good player. Just because he wasn’t successful at Chelsea doesn’t mean he’s not a good option for Tottenham. We can notice the difference in performances in Chelsea and Leipzig. I think Werner gives you Darwin Nunez vibes. Can’t really finish his dinner but very chaotic. He can disrupt any defensive set up and provide the necessary assists when his team is in dire need of a goal.

I think his first spell in England will be defined by his wayward finishing but someone just needs to unlock his potential. Tottenham manager, Postecoglou might be the manager to set him free.

The advantage for Postecoglou and Tottenham in transferring Timo Werner on loan is that the adaptation process is projected to be fast because he has done well with Chelsea even though he did not get many playing minutes from the Chelsea coach at that time.
Other. Timo Werner will be a good partnership with Richarrlison on the front line because Timo Werner is a player who has speed in dribbling the ball.

Tottenham's transfer regarding Werner is good for me, in contrast to Manchester United who released Sancho back to the club that made his name.
If Manchester United in this transfer tries to bring in Werner on loan until the end of the season, then Werner could be a different wing striker to Antony.

Poche's track record in the EPL did not go too well and indeed his name rose only because he was at PSG and even then only succeeded with the Coupe de France and Ligue1 which PSG certainly controlled well afterwards there was nothing really proud of Pochettino.

Bringing Pochettino back to the EPL is actually a very risky way but at least there is a desire to change the club at least this is still a little better than when Chelsea was trained by Potter and Lampard even though until now there has been no breakthrough that can really make us amazed by what Poche did. Hopefully Todd's current decision is right and the hope of bringing Chelsea to a more decent position can be done well even with the reshuffle and some controversy when bravely changing almost all the players at Chelsea.

I don’t think Sancho should have moved back to Dortmund, he could have gone to a big club in the EPL and build his career. Dortmund is a good club but they are not a trophy-winning club. His career is not going to grow as fast as it would if he was in a EPL club. It’s likely that Sancho will find his form now that he is back in Dortmund, the Bundesliga is easier than the premier league. The club has always been a young star development club.

I wish Sancho and Erik Ten Hag could have settled their differences, Manchester United signed him for a lot of money, it’s a shame to see him go.

[Belarge]

I thought that pochettino was good, but it is a big no for chelsea after it have seen what he has done in the club.

Mauricio Pochettino is trying, with the current Chelsea form, he needs time before he would finally settle and plan good strategy for the team's progress. Chelsea not in good shape this season, I wouldn't blame the present and previous coaches because they're trying their best to handle the club but it have turned out that the club is bigger than their control. Todd Boehly have plans for the club but he needs an exact budget to execute, everything connecting to success comes with a process that ought to be accomplished accompanied by bold steps.

Erik Ten Hag was too hard/harsh with Sancho, if i was Sancho i'd have done nothing different, it is a football club of men and not a high school football team, you have to treat the players with respect and not disrespect them and demand an apology. Sancho has not completely left Manchester United as this is a loan deal, but i don't see any way back for him in United, if he performs well during this loan spell, Dortmund would prolly make it permanent or another club in Europe would demand for his services.

The easiest way for Sancho to return is to perform well in Dortmund and wait until Erik Ten Hag is sacked  I completely agree that ETH positioned himself wrongly in the club - he thought that he could be the “big boss” instead of cooperating with the players and this led to conflicts (I’m sure, in addition to the open conflict with Sancho, there are also other hidden ones). Maybe this model of behavior worked with young players at Ajax, but in serious clubs where there are already established stars, you cannot behave this way. In the first season, he was forgiven for a lot because there was a result, but now he has no trump cards.

Pochettino is not completely bad, but Chelsea transfer policy is the cause of Chelsea decline this season. Overhauling the squad by 80 percent is a very risky step, building a squad with the majority of young players who lack experience, Chelsea will automatically lose control as the season progresses. Another fact is, the players they loaned to other clubs performed better, Lukaku and Ziyech performed impressively at their new clubs. On the other hand, we realize that Chelsea does not have a very busy schedule because they are absent from European competitions this season, their full focus on domestic competitions has failed to be managed optimally.

Pochettino need for an experienced and proven striker cannot be denied, Chelsea front line is very worrying at the moment. The problem of player injuries is still understandable, but fans will not accept it if Pochettino fails to bring Chelsea to a better finish than last season. The January transfer window is the best place to find solutions, there is no instant solution at the moment apart from recruiting new players, but they also have to be selective so that they no longer buy players who seem like failed investments.

Leonardo Bonucci in already in Turkey in Istanbul for the medical with Fenerbahce

What a sad end for the players

Bonucci didn't get enough playing time in Union Berlin. We know that he wants to play for the Italy national team in Euro 2024. Therefore, he transferred to Fenerbahce because he thought he would get more playing time. On the other hand, Fenerbahce also needed a stopper of Bonucci's quality. Becao and Djiku had been out for a while due to injuries. When I look at this transfer, I see that both Fenerbahce and Bonucci did the right thing.

Yeah Erik Ten Hag misused his power as manager. I understand he was coming from a different league to manage Manchester United which is top club in the premier league. I think ETH wanted the players to know he was in charge and in the process made himself a villain. No player will want to play for a manager they don’t like. There was no bonding between the players and the manager, perhaps ETH had in mind that he was going to make a overhaul of the team and saw no reason to bond with them. For his first season, Ronaldo was made the scapegoat and took the blame for the team losses. Now we can all see that ETH is the problem.

And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

How can a team has the same number of win and loss and we expect them to bouce back, how? Not like there is changed or new player that has come into effect. I remember the last time when Lampard was facing the same challenges, Kante came and everyone was thinking yes, he will improve the quality of their performance but it seems the opposite was what happen. To effect a major change in the team, the coach must go and that is Pochettino and his crew including the assistant.

You got to be kidding me if you were expecting him to be good. He was on Tottenham for 5-6 years iirc but nothing really impressive there and yeah Tottenham is not really a team that are expected to win the league but they were not really a threat either way.

Some of the great men you see today with high score in trophies didn't bring their trophies from elsewhere, they started it from somewhere and with consistency, they deliver. So I don't think Chelsea did anything bad in recruiting Pochettino. He said he was upto the task and a deal was done I believe and for them to agreed on that, the board of director definitely knows his position and resume than anyone outside the Chelsea but I just think he had been a failure.

The same also happen to other clubs, it's just that Chelsea is a big club and it's been a long time since they had this underperformance and are now the subjects of discussion else I think we have other teams in the league that are way worse than Chelsea. Even Manchester United is suffering from the same faith of underperforming team just that they have been moving and making efforts to the top of the table unlike Chelsea that has remained permanent.

I think Erik Ten Hag pattern of management is the only reason why he easily has issues with players because he's always acting boosy to them even when he know the players are men not boys anymore like what did Sancho do to him to deserve the kind of punishment thst was given to him by the United coach which never allowed him to play in Manchester United fixtures I think Sancho  didn't deserve the maltreatment thet he got undee the coach but it's all good since Sancho will have the opportunity ro prove him self again .

I think Sancho also thinks that it doesn't have to be the team that wins the trophy, the important thing is that there is a team that will accept it well. Moreover, Sancho also played very well while at Dortmund and did not lose contact with the people around him, making his reason for returning to Dortmund the right choice.

But this is not a permanent transfer and is a loan option carried out by Dortmund so there is still a chance for Sancho to improve his career later at Manchester United. His dispute with Erik Ten Hag is one that must be resolved when Sancho returns.

[Obari]

According to rumours,it is reported that Sancho has made a loan move to Dortmund for the rest of the season.This move came as a surprise to me because I never knew Manchester United could do away with such a player even if it is temporarily.With the amount of money they spent on him during his transfer to United,he is not a type of player they would have sent out on loan,but this is England for you,where football becomes so hard to play.It is seen as the toughest league in the world,we won't doubt that any more because we've seen so many good players come in here and flop,while they go out to other league and become star players in their different teams.Lets pray Sancho has a better stay at his former club.

I'm still curious about what the higher-ups will do if ETH is still having the same poor games and performances in the EPL whether they will try to return to defense as they did before especially now that there is a new supporter where Sir Jim Ratcliffe seems to really like ETH but indeed with this kind of coaching it is very difficult to make a comfortable situation for the players and I think there will be the same thing that happened to Cristiano and Sancho if ETH continues to be in the squad.

As for Sancho, if he wants to wait and close his ears like Van de Beek, maybe it can still be done but it would be better if he starts looking for a new club now because staying too long is not good for him because at a very young age it is a shame if he does not explore his strengths and just stays in Madrid without knowing the direction.


There has been some recent news about Mbappe, Haaland and Madrid at the moment.
We know that the rumors about these two young players are very close to Madrid and at the moment it seems that Madrid has a strong ultimatum because there are already some fans who have printed the namesets of Haaland and Mbappe on the Madrid jersey and of course this is not very good for their image so Madrid has started to ban this.

Anthony Martial's contract is running out by June 30 so he can be signed on free transfer in this month. This is a great opportunity for the teams looking for a reasonable priced striker. However his current salary at Manchester United is 13 million pounds per year as far as I know. If he demands a similar amount from interested teams then he could have bigger problems on finding a team for himself.  

Because his performance is really bad now so it isn't convincing for teams to pay that much to him. It is rumoured he has already rejected a couple of teams in Europe and a team in Saudi Arabia. He is expected to stay at his current team until the end of the season.
