⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[BABY SHOES]

BREAKING:

Pogba has been banned from football for four years because of doping. It's really unfortunate how he ruined his career at the theater of nightmares.

He's facing a tough time ahead, but there's still a chance for him to come back stronger and better. Otherwise, this might be the end of Paul Pogba's football career. After four years, he won't be involved in football anymore. It's sad to think we might lose one of the most talented midfielders.

Unfortunately Pogba got another punishment and this one is 4 years longer and now that he is 30 years old, he will finish the punishment at the age of 34 which is when he will get older.

Pogba was a great player at Juventus and Manchester United but due to a long injury layoff he must be a nightmare now not involved in football anymore due to such a long ban, but is there any desire for Poba to come back after the age of 34?

Any club would not want him unless he retires early as others say.
The harsh reality must be accepted.

Yes there are speculation is in Media that ETH will be leaving Manchester United after this season. Though nothing is certain at the moment. But if Manchester United sack ETH and go for Graham Potter then I think Manchester United is making a grave mistake, just like Chelsea did with Potter. Manchester United is a big club who are used to winning trophies and bringing an average coach won't help them revive anytime soon. There are good coaches out there that they can go for. Antonio Conte won't be a bad option for them if you ask me.

if MU chooses Potter to replace Ten Hag, it won't be much different. what happened was a repeat of this season's poor performance, even when this rumor circulated, many fans and observers already condemned the rumor. Maybe they think that next season if that happens MU will perform worse.
Club management must open their eyes if they want the club to achieve success. Not only bringing in good players, but the coach is the main key to whether the team will play well or not.

I wonder why Manchester United lately always makes unreasonable decisions, if this really happens then it will add to their list of unreasonable decisions in my opinion. Whether they really want to make Manchester United recover or not, in fact, if they want to make this club rise then they have to make carefully considered decisions. I would prefer ETH to remain at Manchester United rather than choosing another coach who didn't show anything special at his previous club.

Actually, there are still many coaches who I think are better, why don't they look for better coaches? I don't mean to say Graham Potter is a bad coach, but if we look at him when he was Chelsea coach then we already know what answer Manchester United should consider.

Actually, not only this time, but the recruitment of players also sometimes makes me wonder at them. I think the real problem lies with their own management, because they always make decisions that have very little benefit for Manchester United. So it is not surprising that many of their supporters are holding demonstrations so that the current owner of Manchester United will immediately sell this club.

Is Graham Potter actually a candidate for being the new coach of Manchester United?

Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United is becoming increasingly uncertain ahead of the summer.

United are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table but are eight points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa in the table. Saturday's 2-1 loss to Fulham was the 15th defeat in all competitions for the Reds this season, a statistic that has led to uncertainty around Ten Hag's long-term future at Old Trafford.

Looks like there are a few names involved.
De Zerbi's name is also involved. But there is most chance he is going to join Barcelona in the next season.
Pep Guardiola does not seem to be an option at this moment.
If you ask about Graham Potter, you know he was not very good with Chelsea in my opinion. But could he make a difference with Manchester United?

I personally don't think it is going to be a great option. If they can get a really good coach like Zidane or maybe even Xabi Alonso, they could have brought better results in my opinion. But the thing is, is Ten Hag actually leaving after this season?

Talking about Xabi Alonso, as I said before I don't think they allow him to leave the team easily. In fact, Leverkusen got awesome results so far with Xabi Alonso, and obviously, any team will try hiring this Spanish coach but Simon Rolfes, the managing director of Leverkusen started talking about their coach.
Teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even Real Madrid are currently linked to Xabi Alonso but Simon Rolfes said there are many news and rumors in the market about any coach or player but it doesn't mean all this news is true.

One word for this news and it's "WOW"!

I can't even believe it how barcelona is now exploring the possibility to recruit former of manchester united goal keeper (De Gea) to join in the camp nou.  This news is fresh from the oven. I can't even believe it barcelona tries to recruit him. The financial trouble forced barcelona to recruit free agent player.
De gea was one of best goal keeper that is still available to be recruited. As long as barcelona will offer sense salary for de geal and i believe he will take this offer. it's very good to see him make his comeback as barcelona's goal keeper.

It will give barcelona more goal keeping options once ter stegen out because of the injury. The main problem is barcelona intends to use him as secondary choice for goal keeping option. So, he will get less time to play compared to the ter stegen.
This may not satisfy him with the offer sent by barcelona. If i were him and i would accept such offer caused by this is far better rather than being a jobless man. It has been nine months since de gea out from united and he is still jobless.

Why Barcelona needs a new goalkeeper?
They have 3 goalkeepers now, there are Ter Stegen, Iñaki Peña, and Ander Astralaga.

Do pena and astralaga in the same level compared to the de gea? De gea is far experienced goal keeper compared to those guys. It makes sense for barcelona to buy a new goal keeper caused by the team is willing an experienced goal keeper to be a backup for ter stegen when he was injured.

There was not club interested to recruit him. He needs to consider this as well. Playing as secondary goal keeper is not that bad for the club.

De Gea remains a free agent following his summer exit from Manchester United. The goalkeeper has spent a frustrating season on the sidelines after failing to find a new club over the last nine months, but has now attracted interest from Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. The cash-strapped Catalans are exploring a potential "strategic" free transfer in a bid to boost their goalkeeping options.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/david-de-gea-barcelona-la-liga-giants-exploring-potential-free-transfer-ex-man-utd-goalkeeper/blt05380d821b12afd9#cs8f5ba392343bf426

This is good news for De Gea if it is confirmed to be a reliable source rather than just speculation. He shouldn't be hanging up his boots so quickly, especially since I believe he still has the potential to make more records before retiring. He had spent several years at Manchester United, and it was time for him to leave and pursue other opportunities that would advance his career, despite the fact that he left due to salary issues, which the club was unable to increase for him as the news broke.

This is an excellent opportunity for him to play for one of the biggest teams in La Liga and Europe; I am confident he will succeed and win more trophies there. He shouldn't decline and accept if the offer comes; I just hope they can pay him a reasonable amount when he moves there.

De gea at very least will not be jobless again. Joining in the barcelona is far better rather than keep jobless. He can still play as a backup to the stergen. This is another opportunity owned by de gea to show if he is still worthy enough to be signed as a goal keeper despite his age which is old enough.
Attracting the big club to approach him has proven that if de gea is still having potential. I hope he can think with his sense and decide to join in barcelona if there will be an offer from the club. It's caused by he will also able to compete in UCL as well.

It will be so dumb if he will be missing opportunity to get into the main squad of barcelona.

Oh Fuck!

This is sad one to read truly. Four years ban from ala football activities is crazy. There is more than one side of every story, and I'd love to read and hear whatever Paul Pogba would have to say before I criticize him.
Till date and whenever, he'll always be one of my favorites footballers and I'm so fond of the french international. I defend him countless occasions like he is my brother.

I see he will be making advances further in the court of law to appeal for this ban, one thing I do hope for is for everything to go well in his favor. Roo much of these black players are always targeted, what's with the others?

For the case of Real Madrid Endrick and Kylian Mbappe, to have nothing to worry, rather they'd both work together very well for the club. It'll be hell for whoever Real Madrid faces next season.

[redsun114]

Its so close rumor with Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid next season, but waiting official confirmation announcement from both side will reach agreement or not. Since announced not extend contract with PSG, Kylian Mbappe linked with many top teams from Premier League until La Liga teams, Manchester United recently announced their interested for signing Mbappe and brave for paying more expensive salary for him until five years later and huge amount bonuses add on.
Crucial for signing Mbappe need to fight with many top teams, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, Manchester Unite and Real Madrid have announced their interested for getting Kylian Mbappe's sign and can't patience waiting who will be the winner for signing him. Will see Kylian Mbappe playing with Premier League teams or La Liga have new top star players for next season.

Recently we have too many rumours about this all even sometime back few media sites were confirming all is set just announcement is remaining, but again things are going on this level with nothing officially coming all is just created by few for their own sack because things like these give good fans view, and they are doing this all for just increasing their views on sites and media channels because we have many times in past as well Kylian Mbappé is all set for the Real Madrid just announcement is remaining even few were claiming contract is already signed just coming out.

Most chances we will have all after end of this season what is coming and how things are going to happen this all will be out after end of the season with currently all are giving their best for his season which is also having too much to do because its never been easy to stay at the top with their teams this all need good intention from these top players.

This is a very sad period for Paul Pogba and those who are close to him, though he has said today that he is definitely going to appeal the decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sports, and if he wins the appeal he might see his suspension reduced or completely overturned. Having said that, if Pogba fails in his appeal and the ban stands, that is prolly the end of his professional football career, he is already 31 years of age, and i can't imagine the club that would offer him a contract four years from now.

Managers linked to Manchester United:
Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi
Zinedine Zidane, and now Potter. .
Why can it go from good to bad in just one day? Chelsea will laugh at United. lol

Manchester United still has some players with big egos, so United needs a strong manager who has experience working in a hostile environment and will deal with egos. Potter doesn't work well in big clubs. Potter is a small club coach.
And I don't think Sir Jim Ratcliffe will decide things alone.
That's why he gathered people like Omar Berrada and Ashwort.

This is a very sad news for the star player who has not really injoyed playing football for a very long time since moving from Manchester United to Italy to play for Juventus, I think it is very difficult for Pogba to escape the 4 years ban since he's contract with Juventus has been terminated because they believe that the information is true without supporting the player to get the right justice or even helping him to appeal faster hoping to get a reduced ban or bee cleared from all the allegations against him but they left him to fight alone very sad. Looking at the age of Pogba he's not yet 31 he is currently 30years now even if he's to serve the 4 years ban he will be 34years when he returns to football I believe he will be free from injury ad he can still be signed by good club or he will probably go to Saudi Arabia where he will likely make more money and play more easy football too but that's if he will be willing to play again after all the pains he's going to face in the 4 years ban.

Coach is the key to a squad because there is motivation and how the coach takes care of the players performance, and the skills that the coach is supposed to use should be different if they want Manchester United performance to be back. I observe that they are not ready to change their manager, even with the tough time this season, so in my opinion, even if they change some of their players or spend money on players, if they don’t have a good manager, there is no way the team will be back because their manager is the main problem for Manchester United, from my own view. However, I don’t think Manchester United are going to choose Porta over Erik Ten Hag. If they do, I think it is just as if they take the team to where they were performing poorly last season because Manchester United's performance this season is better than last season.

A four-year suspension at 30 is hard to imagine. Its hard for any footballer to return at 34, especially in the top division of European football. His will to fight back is questionable. I think he should embrace this hard truth and maybe look beyond playing. Consider the suspension and the mental and physical toll this absence may take on him. I've seen players recover from less, but this? This is huge. The whole issue makes you question athletes' decisions and pressure. Despite the odds, I hope Pogba finds a path ahead, whether in football or otherwise.

Seriously I was not happy with the outcome of This sanction it seems too hefty to me, when the whole investigation started it was actually said that a two years ban was all that was going to be sanctioned on him and now we are at four after also wasting one good year for the investigation, he will be turning 31 next month and that leaves him to at least 35 before he plays again. From indications it seems Pogba did took something to induce his pain before the game and that’s bad and corrupt but the charges is just too heavy.

I could remember Onana facing similar case that ended his Ajax Carrier and it was a mistake by him because according to the findings later it was revealed that he actually took his wife pregnancy drug mistaken it for a malaria drug and his sanction later was reduced after his Ajax contract had expired. I hope Pogba gets same treatment and hopefully it was not a deliberate act.

He is also my favourite player too. To me he is someone that is close to a complete midfielder to me but he messed something that was supposed to be a beautiful Carrier due to his life style. A less social Pogba will have conquered the world and go on to be one of the greats due to his talent, ability and skills

I don't think Man United has a chance to sign Zinedine Zidane. Man United already tried to sign him, but Zidane refused it.

Potter? do you mean Graham Potter? What is special with this manager? I don't think he is suitable to the manager of Man United. He failed in Chelsea, I think Man United management won't consider him as the candidate for Man United next manager.

Roberto De Zerbi is linked to Barcelona. I don't know whether is a rumor only or not. But if Barcelona makes an offer to him, he must prefer to choose Barcelona over Man United.

I think Man United only has 2 options, Tuchel or Nagelsmann. I think Tuchel should be a better option for Man United next coach.

Manchester United still has some players with big egos, so United needs a strong manager who has experience working in a hostile environment and will deal with egos. Potter doesn't work well in big clubs. Potter is a small club coach.

Agree. Graham Potter seems hard to handle those players with big egos. They need a charismatic manager who can deal with egoistic players. Actually, Zidane should be the ideal coach to deal with that kind of players.

Damn I wanted to see him perform again but the problem came because of his doping case.

Even if Paul Pogba appeals against the whole suspension he has been in poor football form in recent seasons due to injuries so I'm not so sure he'll be optimal if he gets off scot-free.

Pogba's professional career might be ruined or is this his own doing? It's like he was undisciplined in the use of drugs so he was caught by the football federation.

So far, I haven't exactly followed United's future developments along with the names of potential replacement coaches for Erik Ten Hag. although I'm not sure whether this news is true or not. however, recently, it seems like Ten Hag's future with United is in question. some of the ones you mentioned might be suitable to handle Man United. like Zinade for example, it is possible that Thomas Tuchel is more suitable and capable of leading United than when he managed Bayern Munich. because the coach's problem is not only about repetition, but whether he is suitable or not will also be a problem, IMO. several other names such as Nagalesmann are potential young coaches, but it seems that he is not suitable to manage United with the condition of his players. De Zerbi, I have doubts about this coach even though he is quite good at managing Brighton. As for Potter, it seems he is more suited to managing a mid-table team.

Of all the names mentioned, IMO, I'm sure none of these coaches will become United coaches, let alone Zinedine Zidane. as you say, United have some players with big egos. plus, the lack of discipline of the United players. in fact, Ten Hag is known as a strict coach. Well, whoever United coach replaces Ten Hag, if they are unable to fix United's main problems, it is doubtful they will be able to bring United to its glory days. moreover, IMO, this season the situation is not at all in Ten Hag's favor. starting with conflicts between players and coaches, disciplinary problems, key players being injured and most crucially mental problems. Well, I wonder what Sir Jim Ratcliffe will do in making his decision.

Honestly, that's sucky, bro I am so sad that Paul Pogba will ban from football. 4 years is too much he is already 30 years old which means that he will not be able to play until 2027 after which the ban will be completed, and when he returns, Paul Pogba will be turned into 35. I am so sad that he will not be in the world of football. He is a very good and talented player. His style of play is joyous to watch but unfortunately, he will not be able to even play a single match of football until 4 years later, in 2027. After his ban, Paul Pogba will be 35 and no club will offer him a contract even possibly Juventus could also terminated his contract because they have already They reduce his salary and if he spends 4 years banned, there will be no chance to sign him again for Juventus.
 
I heard NEWS that Paul Pogba is going to appeal against the case maybe be possibly the court could reduce his suspension so maybe 2 and a half years. But this case is serious, and there is no more ways to get the chance of getting back.

I'm shock that some people are shock to receive this news but I was even thinking judgement has been pass for him and that's why we haven't heard anything from him. I never knew brother case was still under investigations which I first see at Fabrizio Romano page, it seems bro career is going to end here because I don't k ow which club that is going to have back an ex convict that didn't follow the fifia rules and regulations

This is might be tough one for the fans and the close pals but it's a lesson that most of of them need to lewrn from, just because yonare having a shiny moment but underground they do dopping, they should continue until one day when they don't expect them to be caught, that's when they will be pick and tested. If Fifa should investigate thoroughly, it's possible to have many of these players doing the same.

[coinlocket$]

Luis Enrique said he doesn't know who Rafa Leao Is  .

Besides that's should be a big lie do you think they are interested on him?

He is a French players so he must be a good fit to take Mbappè spot.

[KTChampions]

Talking about Xabi Alonso, as I said before I don't think they allow him to leave the team easily. In fact, Leverkusen got awesome results so far with Xabi Alonso, and obviously, any team will try hiring this Spanish coach but Simon Rolfes, the managing director of Leverkusen started talking about their coach.
Teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even Real Madrid are currently linked to Xabi Alonso but Simon Rolfes said there are many news and rumors in the market about any coach or player but it doesn't mean all this news is true.

The compensation is quite small (compared to the compensation paid for football players), so any top club will easily hire Xabi if there is mutual interest. The question is what he will choose. I would be interested to see him in Liverpool, there is room to grow there and there is a hegemon that needs to be overthrown (almost like Bayern haha). If Xabi goes to Bayern, it will be boring - I think he will easily win the Bundesliga 5 times in a row, the only interest will be how successful he will be in the Champions League. I wouldn't want everything to be so boring.

I'm any of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich really want Xavi Alonso, I don't think there's much Bayer Leverkusen can do to stop the deal from happening. The deal won't happen only when Xabi Alonso himself says he's not going.

I saw reports a few days ago that Xabi Alonso and Bayern Munich have agreed on a deal. I don't know how true that is. The idea of coaching either Madrid or Munich is too enticing it would take so much more to keep him at Leverkusen.
I would prefer him to stay at Leverkusen for a longer period. I want him to play the Champions League with Leverkusen so he can get the Champions League experience in a team he built before going to a bigger team.

Alonso is a good coach, but I don't think he has been tested. The pressure of coaching a team like Madrid is much greater than coaching Leverkusen. If he loses the league to Munich this season with Leverkusen, he won't get the same backlash he'd get if it was Madrid. He needs to understand the pressure that comes from a Madrid or Bayern Munich job before making his decision.
