⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[masulum]

 If Mourinho joins Al Shabab and they can provide him with enough money to buy good players, the club will become popular and competitive in the Saudi Professional League.

Mourinho has confirmed that he will not be a coach in the Arab league. He said that he wanted to remain a coach in Italy. It's just that currently the rumors are coming from the EPL. Several media outlets say that Newcastle intends to make Mourinho their coach.

However, I think this is an opportunity for Mourinho to spend a lot of money to buy players as he wants again, since in Tottenham and Roma, he can't buy players freely 
and, if Mourinho become Newcastle's coach, it might not be difficult for Newcastle to get star players.

[borovichok]

Suspect he'll move to Arsenal, they're in need of such a player, Brentford have just be wicked lol by placing outrageous valuations on him so as to keep him down with the club.
Not just Arsenal but also Chelsea who have been in strong need of a striker since both Nicholas Jackson and Broja are nothing to talk about right now. They're not a good fit for a club like Chelsea.

Whatever club he joins will definitely benefits from Ivan Toney, strong, team player, tactically intelligent and also a good goalscorer, he joins Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal, they'll benefit hugely from.his presence and goals.

Do the English media ever learn? Overhyping and setting a high price tag on their players after one or two strong seasons, only to wind up being a flop at elite teams due to the undue pressure put on these players because of their price tag. Toney is scoring goals for a lower team, but he has yet to develop the qualities needed to be worth £100m. No UEFA experience, he's not even a starter for his country and all of a sudden he's worth this much after one superb season.

British passport tax works all the time  ; if he came from another zone, I guess he would be worth less than his current value.

[8rch7]

He won't shine if he manages an unknown club, Al Shabab isn't a rich club and they haven't sign many popular European players like the other clubs e.g. Al Hilal, Al Ahli, Al Nassr etc. He knows if he can't change anything in Al Shabab, rather than destroying his own reputation, it's better for him to reject the offer.

Mourinho is just an old school coach, he didn't make adaption with the current modern football, what he can show is his past achievements.

Bad news for Saudi Pro League fans after Jose Mourinho rejecting with Al Shabab offer and he want to stays become European club but not close possibility one day later Mourinho will come to be Saudi Arabia club head coach.
I think Jose Mourinho won't spent his career with club less financial support, learned with AS Roma he faces difficult how to make teams on consistency performance without any top players.
Seems Jose Mourinho will be without club until the end of this season due all top european teams not rumor yet for sacking their manager, its the best time for him retired awhile as manager position before coming back at the next season and wish will return to be manager with one top Premier League team.

It looks like Ivan Toney isn't leaving Brentford just yet. Because some sources say that he has decided to stay at least until the end of the season. Chelsea and Arsenal have been the most interested teams in him recently and they will have to wait for a little more then. But will it be worth the wait? I think yeah, definitely. 

Because Toney is a very capable striker you know. He was a great scorer before getting the lasting punishment. Now he is back in action and he already scored a goal in his last game. He is definitely a good alternative for some bigger teams at the moment.

I don't think it's a problem for Chelsea or Arsenal to wait longer to get Ivan Toney's services because I think he is a complete striker. He has become a topic of conversation for the elite EPL teams and at least if he leaves it will also be very good for his career. But as we can see, of course Arsenal is the team that can make him shine even more and if he is at Chelsea I don't guarantee he will be able to maintain his current performance.

At Arsenal he will get a decent supply of the ball from his midfielders and his job as a finisher in front of the opponent's goal will be much easier. Maybe the transfer fee is not cheap, making Arsenal have to reconsider bringing him in, but if the Gunners are very determined to get him then they will have to make quite a large investment and Brentford will also benefit greatly from Ivan Toney's transfer.

In my opinion, if Ivan Toney moves in January then the right choice is Arsenal, but if Toney is only willing to move after the end of the season then the best choice is Chelsea. Because there is a possibility that Chelsea will perform well next season, their young squad has adapted well, and the opportunity to always be the first choice is very open. Competition up front is easier at Chelsea, because Broja, Nkunku and Jackson did not appear impressive and were even very far from standard, while at Arsenal Toney will have competition from Nketiah and Jesus. However, once Toney was recruited to be the main striker, it could be said that his position would be safer, even though he would face competition to lock up a place.

In terms of quality, Toney seems capable of making a difference, with his background with Brentford in the EPL, Toney no longer needs to be grandiose to adapt. However, anyone who is interested in recruiting him must prepare a large budget, because Brentford management does not plan to let him go at a cheap price, especially to a team that likes to haggle over prices. Now it is reported that Man United is ready to enter the competition in hunting for Toney signature. I think Ten Hag really needs a suitable partner for Hojlund. It is very likely that Toney will end this season with Brentford, and he will move after the season ends.

I have a better hope that the Blues will just recruit Osimhen, that would be better because he is a quality and proven striker. Because in terms of price, maybe the two won't be much different, yes I know Osimhen is a little more expensive. However, looking at Chelsea previous transfer history, they have never hesitated to spend large amounts of money, so buying Osimhen at a high price is not a big problem for them.

I can understand if he decides to stay at Brentford. It is not easy to join in the middle of the season. Brentford also can't be easy to get the replacement of Toney if he leaves in the middle of the season. Although Arsenal is very interested to sign him, not sure if he really can improve the performance of Arsenal. I don't know if he deserves to sign or not. But it is true that he is a good player.

Actually, Toney is one of the mainstay players of Brentford. The club management won't be easy to let him moving to another team. Moreover, he moves to another team of EPL. Toney can feel happy to move to a new club. But Brentford will be difficult to sign a potential striker again like Toney.

There are only 11 days left in the winter transfer window and so far there has been no sign that Arsenal will get Toney from Brenford, Arsenal interest in Toney has become a hot issue at the moment, but it seems Arsenal still haven't offered a suitable price for Toney, currently, Toney has completed an 8 month suspension period without playing and he even managed to score his first goal against Nottingham Forest yesterday, Toney sharpness doesn't seem to have disappeared and it would be very appropriate if Arsenal made  Toney for their main striker, but it looks like Bretford will not easily let go of Toney because apart from being a In the end, of course, Brentford doesn't want to lose out on releasing Toney at a cheap price, Apart from Toney, Arsenal are reportedly also targeting Benzem, Estevao Willian and also Xavi Simons, but so far we can't be sure who Arsenal will finally get.

[arallmuus]

but it looks like Bretford will not easily let go of Toney

Everything has a price and if Brentford hasnt really considering Arsenal's offer yet that means they are lowballing or it could be that Brentford is stalling the deal. Its pretty common strategy for a club to delay it as long as possible therefore the club that offer the deal would most likely to increase the offer or probably look for another option to close the deal before deadline

Totally love all these transfer strategy though, its fascinating

After officially leaving Man City, Omar Berrada was used by Man United as chief executive. Man United has great expectations of Berrada. They hope Berrada can bring Man United back to glory. With a pretty good track record, indeed Berrada is the key to Man City's success in bringing Haaland. He managed to bring Man city to success. But his departure from Man City may have opinions that arise. He left because Man City was in big trouble. Allegations of 115 cases that are in litigation.

A lot of people are talking about a lot of things. And I have been hearing that Manchester United is going to improve their performance for a long time. Now I kind of know that if Manchester United does get some good performance, it is most probably an accident. And it is going to take a lot of time for Manchester United to actually find the form that they are after. Even now, look at the last 5 matches of Manchester United, they only have one win. That is just not good enough. I highly doubt that Manchester United will suddenly start performing well.

Oliver Torres is considered for a midfield for Beşiktaş. With Chamberlain and Amir injured, there was a lack of good players in midfield. Oliver Torres from Sevilla, who couldn't get much playing time this season, was suggested. I think Beşiktaş needs a player with better statistics. But a transfer must be made, so whoever comes will be good. Torres' career is full of big teams, he can do well here too. If Santos wants him, I say let him be taken.

When Perez couldn't sign Mbappe because the latter chose money he seemed to make it clear that he was no longer of interest to the club and would not be signed, but when asked about it other times he said Mbappe was not a priority, which means they still want to sign him, moreover their condition is that they get him for free. In the context that he should come for free, I see the option that he will play for Real, because the team will not spend a penny to sign him, although at one time could have spent as much as 150 million.

Seems money is not problem for real madrid to sign Kylian Mbappe because ever give offer 200 million euro last several season before reach done deal to extend his contract with PSG. But difference cases for this time and Perez not interested yet for spending much money to get Mbappe sign due he will be free agent few months later and Madrid optimistic will get him as free agent.
I doubt not any one team want spent much money for signing Mbappe although he is top level players, prefer waiting his current condition with PSG have reach done deal agreement extend contract or not because many teams want to get Mbappe with free agent without have to pay fees transfer for PSG.

It's not that clubs won't want to sign him for big money, it's that he'll be a free agent, which means the competition for Mbappe will only be in the form of the wages he can get at one club or another, and if he doesn't opt for the money he'll most likely end up at Real Madrid, but whether Real will accept him is the question for now

Seems Jose Mourinho will be without club until the end of this season due all top european teams not rumor yet for sacking their manager, its the best time for him retired awhile as manager position before coming back at the next season and wish will return to be manager with one top Premier League team.

The number of sacked coaches is traditionally much higher in the second half of the season, especially at the top clubs if they do not perform well in the championship or in the deciding matches of the international competitions. Mourinho can therefore lean back, he will get good opportunities and offers in the coming weeks and months. I already mentioned in a post here yesterday that he won't be moving to Saudi Arabia. It makes no sporting sense for him to go to a third-tier league with no visibility.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I wouldn't say it is a gamble as it's not like they have to lose very much. Roma won't be relegated into Serie B because of De Rossi, but as I said before the expectations could be wrong from the very beginning. I am saying this because they didn't just fire any coach. They fired Mourinho and if a new, young coach comes in I think replacing Mourinho does by itself define the expectations the club might have. The implicit requirement for De Rossi is: "Be more successful than Mourinho was until now this season". More than that, they definitely want to make into the Europa League at least and given how strong some of the other teams are, it is quite a tough goal to achieve.

I think expecting De Rossi to be more successful than Mourinho is a bit too much for him. We have to look at the whole process of Mourinho leading Roma, what he has brought to Roma is very remarkable that their previous coaches could not do. Mourinho's personality was not popular with the owners, so it is understandable that he was fired.
And Rossi taking over is only a temporary solution, we just hope Roma is temporarily okay during Rossi's time in power. To qualify for the Europa League, I think it is still within Roma's reach. They are only 4 points behind the 5th team, and this is the most realistic goal for Roma in this tumultuous season.

I always ask how consistent can he go and continue with that performance for Manchester United? He can't, he's ( Harry Maguire ) is not the typical Manchester United type of defender. With football evolving, you can't also settle for less. Victor Lindelof a good pass but poor  when it comes to doing a proper defensive duty. 89 percent of his passes are always spot on but not his defending.
I don't even understand why the Premier League gave Harry Maguire player of the month! Because we had players that month doing better than him. Antony Gordon should have come ahead of him, but I understand why!! They did that to compensate him after everything his gone through.
Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, and either of Diego Dalot and Aaron Wan Bisakka would be amongst players leaving believe!

To be fair, Maguire has improved a lot this season compared to last season. He acts as Mu's savior many times. In addition to defending, Maguire can also score in set situations. All of his stats are fine, except for psychological problems, but now he has improved quite a lot, he plays with a more stable mentality. I think Mu should keep him. As for Evans, he is too old to play in the Premier League, and when he brought him back, Mu determined that this was only a temporary solution. So the possibility of Evans leaving or retiring soon is quite high.

Yes, Mourinho is still one of the best coaches in the world even though he has often experienced failures that have resulted in his dismissal. Roma was the last club to feel how his cold hands were able to make the Italian team become a respected team in Europe again and he has proven it by winning. Even after being fired by Roma and not having received another offer from any team, I'm sure he won't be unemployed for much longer. Napoli are reportedly starting to be interested in trying out his services, and I think Mourinho will be more interested if he gets an official offer from the Partenopei. Apart from that, Newcastle also has a great opportunity if they want to get his services, because if you look at the Magpies' struggling condition this season, it is very possible that they will sack Eddy Howe. So my prediction is that Mourinho is more likely to return to Serie A than accept an offer to coach the national team, as has been reported in some reports.

Guiding Roma back to the prestige of European football is surely credit to Mourinho. Despite experiencing challenges and dismissals in his career, he has consistently demonstrated his coaching prowess and achieved success with various teams. It's a plausible scenario for Mourinho to manage Napoli. Mourinho has a history of thriving in Serie A, and staying in Italy could be an enticing prospect for him.

The Premier League has also been a familiar territory for him, and taking charge of a club like Newcastle, if available, could be an intriguing challenge. Newcastle's struggling condition and the potential for Eddy Howe to face dismissal opens up another potential opportunity for Mourinho. I think he would love to manage Newcastle because he wont face a budget constraints like he faced at Roma. Mourinho is more likely to return to manage a club than accept an offer to coach a national team aligns with his track record and comfort in managing top European clubs. It will be interesting to see how Mourinho's career unfolds in the coming months and which opportunities he chooses to pursue.

But you also can't deny that Mourinho has been given a lot of time to manage Roma but without satisfactory results. So there's nothing wrong with De Rossi now being given the opportunity to improve what Mourinho couldn't. That should be enough to prove everything, we can't judge whether Roma is a good fit for De Rossi or not because he just getting started. Give it 2 to 3 seasons to prove that. For Mourinho, he should leave and not force himself when the club is bored with Roma monotonous performance. This club needs fresh air with new tactics, we'll see about the final results because it's still too early to judge De Rossi.

According to the news posted by Fabrizio Romano, two Joao would be good choices to make permanent. Barcelona was greatly helped by Felix and Cancelo when several key players were injured, both of whom saved Barcelona. Of course, the hope of these two players is to make it permanent rather than having to return to their original club which of course does not guarantee playing time. Therefore all that remains is to take care of his salary, especially Joao Felix because his market value is quite high so Barcelona only needs to wait for a response from Joao regarding his ability to reduce his salary value if he wants to make him permanent.

Do you think these two players deserve to stay longer at the Barcelona club, but on the other hand, the salary issue must be really clear between both parties and mutually beneficial.

[Strongkored]

Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach who has good qualities so of course when he doesn't have a team there will be many teams approaching to use his services but I think for the top European teams currently nothing is visible, now only offers from the Saudi Arabian team and There is still a big possibility for Jose to reject it and then wait for the right offer.
I think it won't be long before big rumors about Jose will circulate, he is a quality coach, of course many top teams want him.

In fact, he is no longer the same as before, although it could be because he coaches a club that is not willing to spend a lot of money in the transfer market, so he is not very free to build his dream team to achieve success.
The Saudi pro league might be a suitable place for him for now because even though he is a successful coach, elite clubs in Europe will certainly consider what titles he has achieved in the last few seasons, and they are not very impressive.
However, Jose Mourinho has stated that he will not be in a hurry to accept offers from clubs because he wants to get the best club, so it is very possible that he will not train for quite a long time because he will be more selective in accepting offers from any club.

Appointing people who have experience and success in the jobs we appoint is a positive thing.
This is better than giving bankers and their mates jobs.
And I see a lot of gassed United Fans. Many say the banter era is officially over.
But we have been happy prior, and things have always gotten worse.
Hopefully, Berrada will do as well for United as he did for Man City

It is normal if some clubs want to change the coaches, they expect to improve the performance of the teams. They don't want to keep the coaches who fail to bring positive impacts to the teams. However, it won't be easy for the fired coaches to get new teams. Their reputation is decreasing after they are faired from the clubs. There won't be many clubs interested to hire them because they were experiencing bad season.

Regarding Mourinho, he is a popular coach who have good reputation in he past. It is the reason why there are some clubs still interested to sign him. But I am not sure if he will easily manage top clubs anymore. I assume only average (middle) clubs which have the big intention to hire him. Sure, he still has no intention to move to Saudi League because he still wants to get challenges in the top European leagues. The current rumor said that he probably gets a new club in Italia or moving to EPL.

Instead of focusing to Manchester City's achievements, you need to take a look why Manchester City breached the FFP regulations for 115 times, sooner or later Manchester United will face this issue because it's controlled by the same person.

Since Manchester United have a new CEO, it means we will see a new coach too lol.
