⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Ryu_Ar1]

I was surprised to read that Xavi has decided to stay on at Barcelona. According to Fabrizio Romano, president Laporta has convinced him to stay in charge. Barcelona are currently in second place, 11 points behind Real Madrid. They are not in a good position in the league this season, but Xavi certainly deserves a second chance, because when Barcelona was having financial problems, it was not right to expect success from Xavi or to blame all the failures on Xavi. He had announced that he was leaving Barcelona after some unfair and intense criticism, but his performances throughout the season have prompted the Barcelona club officials to take action.

I personally don't find this surprising because seeing from Xavi's previous statements and Laporta's statements that still continue to negotiate with Xavi, it is likely that this will happen but indeed with the current conditions there must be several things that Barcelona must pay attention to in order to make Xavi comfortable to coach and of course financial problems are an important thing because after all it must be minimized immediately so that next season Xavi can maximize Barcelona with the players he plans in the end.

The situation will be complicated if Xavi decides to stay but Barcelona cannot give Xavi what he wants which ends up in the last option where Barcelona only loans players or looks for free players which is detrimental to Xavi like this season.
Let's hope there is some clarity for Barcelona in fixing their poor financial problems because in any case they don't seem to be able to solve the problems they have faced in the last few seasons.

But last season Manchester United was stronger, they were able to be in the top 4 and play in the Champions League, what happened this season to make their results worse? Erik ten Hag has great ambitions, he believes in the team, this should be appreciated, and to be frank he does not have very strong players at his disposal, but he has gathered relatively young players, and is trying to achieve success with them. I don’t know if giving him more time will help, maybe he should strengthen the team while he can. If, of course, he is given such an opportunity.

I know that Ten Hag doesn't have a good team, a lot of the players there are average but Ten Hag has not been convincing at all.
When you see how Manchester United play, it's obvious to know that the coach is not doing a good job. A team that concedes over 20 shots in a game is coached by a bad coach.
I think Ten Hag got all his tactics wrong this season.
The team don't press well enough and the midfield doesn't know how to keep the ball. When a midfield doesn't know how to keep the ball, the defence will definitely suffer.

I believe Ten Hag should leave Manchester United. He is a good coach but a team like United won't work for him. Aside the fact that he got his tactics wrong, the club is too complicated. The board, the fans, the current players and past players are too complicated.
I don't think Manchester United will back him in the summer because they have already lost trust in him and also, it is difficult for Manchester United to attract good players since they won't be in the champions league.

I would not say that Ten Haag isn't trying his best but he should consider moving out of the club for now and try his coaching skills elsewhere because staying at united and not being able to make any improvements for the team wouldn't do him any good at all. Not being in the champions league doesn't mean that the club can't attract good players, they can just that they have not been putting quality efforts in their matches.

MU needs a comprehensive change from the coaching bench to the players when the 2023/24 season ends. I really have no patience anymore with coach Ten Hag after MU only won against Coventry in a penalty shootout. It's pretty boring to see MU nearly lose many times. Coach Erik ten Hag is under tremendous pressure at MU. He may be fired at the end of the season. Even lifting the FA Cup championship probably won't change the outcome of coach Ten Hag being fired. MU is facing many difficulties in Erik Ten Hag's second year. They did not show any progress despite spending large amounts of money in the transfer market.

TBH, I also can't wait to see Man United officially looking for a replacement for Ten Hag to try to get better opportunities in the coming season because almost the majority of Man United fans can no longer have the patience to just hope for Ten Hag.
just imagine how bad Man United would be if they continued to retain Ten Hag and I am sure that if Man United top officials continue to retain this coach, it will definitely be difficult for the Red Devils to regain their glory days.

currently there is no definite confirmation as to who Ten Hag replacement will be, but I am sure that after replacing him with the right new coach there will definitely be changes for the better in the results that Man United will get.

I'm not sure you're a Manchester United fan, not even have been following them closely because if you have you won't come up here to write this.
It's no longer about hiring coaches, it's about the players. Ralf Ragnick said it all that they need be serious when it comes to the overhauling. Players with bad attitude, overpaid salaries and overhyped. I'm done arguing football with people who can't watch and think for themselves. At least not everything you see online should be digested. Goodness Sake!!

Louis Van Gaal warned him already about his move to Manchester United. Even if they're to sack him, it woune much better if he is first backed up now that he has good structured football director's around him.

He is not a bad coach, don't you all take a look backwards, I see that fans no longer with that patience, they just want to win same way it has always been. I would also like if Ten Hag brings a person like Roy Keane close to the dressing room to set up this standards amongst these players.

Klopp is about to leave Liverpool and that is something we can be sure about it since he said he is tired and he wants to rest that's why he wants to leave Liverpool after years of working in this team.
That's why Liverpool is trying to find some other coaches to take the place of Klopp in this team. Arne Slot is currently linked to this team. He is currently working in Feyenoord and he had good performance in this team.
It seems Arne Slot links to work in Liverpool and he doesn't have any problems with the contract and offer from Liverpool.
It seems soon we are going to see some news about Arne Slot accepting the offer from Liverpool and taking the place of Kloop in this team for the next season.

This has nothing to do with being a fan or not being a fan of Manchester united because I am stating the obvious, since you think that they players are the cause of Manchester united drop in performance then why do the club continue to sign coaches to the club? They should have endedthe contracts of the players you think are overpaid and over hyped let's see how united will be able to build a solid team with probably new set of players. If a coach doesn't align with the players the team cannot be successful just like what is happening in United now. There's is no doubt that the players are well paid but don't you want them to enjoy being paid well? Manchester United is a big team that has good financial system so if they are paying players huge shouldn't be referred as the reason for their inability to give in their best in matches. what of Chelsea? Will you also say that it is as a result of bad attitude of players that made the team not to perform better? Inasmuch as I know the problem with these two clubs is coach like they need a coach that understands the football ethics perfectly. Though I am not in for an argument as you can believe what you know and I believe mine as well.

How do you expect fans to be happy when the club is not doing well? Is either Ten Haag resigns from his duty as united coach or the club might sack him anytime soon just watch and see how it goes.

Accepting the offer is not the problem,the problem here is,can he manage a big club like Liverpool? Because managing Liverpool has so many things entail in it.You must be a coach that have had enough experience before you can think about managing a club like Liverpool,who has so many legends that will be looking at the activities of the club.
It will be quite unfortune that Liverpool FC wanted to win the league for Klop as his send-off,but they won't be able to because Arsenal and City are ahead of them,and even if they would have still had a chance of winning,they funbled last weekend,which finally ended their chase for the tittle and totally removed them from the tittle race.

Yes, after Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford, until now there has been no coach who could really replace his position very well. Manchester United is having difficulty finding the right coach for them, and indeed it is very difficult to find a coach like Sir Alex Ferguson. However, it is also important to remember that Ferguson did not immediately make Manchester United very feared, he also needed quite a long process.
Manchester United must look for a coach who has his own football philosophy, they must look for a coach who has the same assertiveness as Ferguson in his time. The problem is that now their management is also having problems, not a few people even say that Manchester United's decline is due to their management not caring about the team, and indeed I also agree with that, it seems like their current owner is just doing business and has little to think about how make Manchester United as successful as before again.

I believe Ten Hag should leave Manchester United. He is a good coach but a team like United won't work for him. Aside the fact that he got his tactics wrong, the club is too complicated. The board, the fans, the current players and past players are too complicated.
I don't think Manchester United will back him in the summer because they have already lost trust in him and also, it is difficult for Manchester United to attract good players since they won't be in the champions league.

Before he leaves Manchester United it is likely that he will be sacked first because looking at the current situation Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who was initially on the same page with Ten Hag, is currently rumoured to be looking for a new coach for Manchester United next season even though his choice is Tuchel which in my opinion is a situation that is not very good but the point is Sir Jim Ratcliffe is looking for a new coaching option at the moment.
It is possible that if in the end Manchester United this season fails to penetrate the zone in the Europa League then Ten Hag could be allowed to leave and Manchester United are looking for new coaching options as a replacement.

Especially by looking at the current situation where the gap is still too far away, it is a little difficult for Manchester United to compete in the Champions League or Europa League at this time so this could indeed backfire for Ten Hag because his position is still very threatened.

[Raflesia]

To make a strong squad it is not just a few players, but there must be continuity of all players in all positions to be able to create a solid team performance and Manchester United does not have that this season so they cannot compete for the title.
I think what Ten Hag has done at the start of this season proves that he has failed or is unable to improve the performance of the Manchester United team to be better because he has brought in as many players as he wanted but still failed so I think if he If you do the same thing, chances are the results will also be the same.

The problem is that in a club the presence of talented players and can be considered star players is a good thing but on the other hand when the competition runs of course we have to consider other possibilities where chemistry and teamwork are also important.

We can look at Aston Villa now as an example. They have players who are below Manchester United in terms of level but when the chemistry between players and coaches is well established, the clubs cooperation also becomes very good and it can make them get positive results and that is proven this season where they are now still in the Champions League zone without any significant obstacles from the club below them .

So by looking at this it seems that big clubs like Manchester City or even rich clubs like Newcastle and Chelsea must now realize that in the end great players when there is no chemistry and teamwork in a match it will be nothing and only make things worse .

Ragnick is getting ever closer to becoming Bayern's coach since bayern has also made personaly communication with him and ragnick has been also agreeing with all of terms as a new coach for bayern munich. Meanwhile, Tuchel has been linked with the job as United's head coach at the end of the season and im hoping it will come true since he is even worthy compared to the ten hag. im getting so upset with ten hag';s performance. It is confirmed that Ragnick has concrete talks with Bayern Munich about everything between him and the club as a requirement to become a new coach for bayern. We can expect his contract to be finalized soon. I am confident that he will do it correctly.
It's disappointing to see Bayern recruiting instead of Xabi Alonso, but given Xabi's decision not to leave Leverkusen puts him to be an alternative solution although bayern has also contacted naglesmann but he snubs it. we can only wait and see. I saw a better candidate for Bayern, such as Conte or perhaps Mourinho can also be alternative solution for bayern munich at this time.
There's nothing wrong with it, but I understand how the fans wanted a better coach than Ragnick and i have ever heard how ronaldo was calling him not even a coach when he was still at united as a caretaker. Since Bayern officials have already approved him as a new appointment for Bayern, all we have to do now is wait for the official announcement from Bayern during the summer transfer season. Tuchel must have finished his season with Bayern first and there will be another transition from him to the ragnick.

Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

 He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club. He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga.

 He's just been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club. His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

 Although being considered as a replacement to the Bayern Munich squad and him declaring his unreadiness to leave Leverkusen, Munich were left with no option than to quest for Ragnick. Well I'll say maybe he's going to be different from Tuchel but it's really hard to tell where the fault of Munich team came from. We only have to put our courage on Ragnick to make a difference.

The rumors are clear but we never know if there are other candidates besides Arne Slot? The news is that the coach is still under contract with Feyenoord for two more seasons while the club is asking for $10 million to let him go, this shouldn't be hard for Liverpool but is it right? Instead I'm looking forward to a more popular coach or one who has already handled Premier League matches.

Reading the news just now, if Arne Slot comes to Anfield then this is a good career for him because he has gone far, he said the biggest step is moving to Anfield. Read it in a local article.

It will be very interesting to see a new coach for the first time in a long time, especially after a pretty successful season. By successful I don't mean that they probably won't win the league, I mean that it's been an incredibly fruitful season, Klopp has built the squad very well and whether Liverpool can keep the bar set and perform even better next season is up to them

There are several candidate previously just like names Ruben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi but unfortunately these managers was refuse Liverpool offers because whether it Amorim and De Zerbi has decide to staying at their current teams and now Liverpool still look for the replacement of Klopp and Arne Slot became an strong candidate for that position and indeed at Feyenoord Arne Slot has been done well because last season he can able to broke the domination of Ajax and PSV with bringing Feyenoord to gets Eredivisie trophy and this season too this team also can successfully to gets KNVB Cup under him

So maybe that's why Liverpool has showing their interest to Arne Slot this because he can makes Feyenoord became an strong team in Eredivisie and Feyenoord will not hold him because they realized Arne Slot is good manager and possibly he will train big team and the negotiation is still on going and run well because although Arne Slot Still has a 2 year contract with Feyenoord but he will decide to look for new challenge and just like you says Liverpool have to pay 10 millions to gets him

Liverpool was very close to winning the Premier League again this season, if a new coach joins them next season the expectations will be very high as the standards set by the present coach who is about to leave, and the new coach will be expected to win the premier league and the champions league. Some coaches may be scared at the high expectations, others intrigued by it that they will want the Job. There are quality players in Liverpool, if a new coach joins them, he will sell some players that he does not need in the team, and buy some players from other clubs, players that suite his style. With the many changes, it may be hard for Liverpool to win the premier league in the next season.

We shouldn't be too confident of the news coming our way, always pressuring for good results but this time around, there's really complicated scenarios surrounding him and the players. They've failed completely to deliver good game results, making them falling out of the EPL title race this season, it would have been against Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool but unfortunately, the Reds have been kicked out. This is really one of the terrible stats for Liverpool this season, I'm hoping they strive for excellence next season.

Much more than Jürgen Klopp, anyone who thinks that replacements at the club should be limited to the coach alone is mistaken.
This is because, in addition to Klopp, other members of the coaching staff are also expected to leave the Reds. Among them are assistants Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz, and development coach Vitor Matos.
I also heard rumors that sporting director Jörg Schmadtke will also leave, he who arrived at the club in 2022 to replace Julian Ward and led the structuring of the current squad that was leader of the Premier League and champion of the English League Cup.

With so many important departures, how will Liverpool deal with filling these departures?

There is a lot of talk about the return of Michael Edwards, who was Liverpool's director between 2017 and 2022... he would be Liverpool's main plan, but can the club's owners convince Edwards to return?
If not Edsards, then I believe that Scottish Richard Hughes, who is leaving Bournemouth, is another well-considered candidate for the position.

[TelolettOm]

I don't know if the club's management is tired of hiring coaches to the team because literally, since Sir Alex Ferguson resigned as a coach from Manchester United the club have not been able to find a coach that suits the club perfectly that is why they have not been better since Ferguson's exit from the club.

Man United management will always try to hire the next coach, they won't be tired because it is their responsibility to find out the next coach. The scout of Man United who has the responsibility of this matter. However, I think there should be some improvement on the scout team of Man United. They shouldn't hire any coach (random coach) anymore, they must try to hire a trusted coach in Europe. Although it will be difficult but it may bring a higher chance to see a progress on Man United performance. Zidane, Spaletti, and Conte are some available top coaches.

I would not say that Ten Haag isn't trying his best but he should consider moving out of the club for now and try his coaching skills elsewhere because staying at united and not being able to make any improvements for the team wouldn't do him any good at all. Not being in the champions league doesn't mean that the club can't attract good players, they can just that they have not been putting quality efforts in their matches.

Ten Hag surely has tried his best in managing Man United. He may be a good coach but he seems not enough to improve Man United performance. Ten Hag still made some fundamental mistake such as keeping Maguire and sold some potential players (Sancho, Mason Greenwood). He also still can't find out the proper tactics and game style of Man United players. He also still can't win any trophies, they keep losing in any competitions. So, there is no reason to keep Ten Hag a longer time in Man United.

[joniboini]

This is really one of the terrible stats for Liverpool this season, I'm hoping they strive for excellence next season.

I think it depends on which season are you comparing with. Not as good as their quadruple charge season, but this time you can say the same thing although they exit way too early on two competitions. If you compare it with last season, it is way better, and that's probably where the owner will judge the next coach. Replacing Klopp is impossible anyway, and setting a quadruple charge every season is almost unrealistic unless they can spend hundreds of millions of dollars every season.

Personally, I'm interested in Arne Slot more than De Zerbi. If anything because he shares a lot of similarities with Klopp according to some articles that I read. His ability to develop players and squeeze out their ability to save money is probably the biggest strength that FSG will evaluate. Unless the owner changes I don't think Liverpool will change the criteria to select their manager. CMIIW.
