⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[red4slash]

Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.

I think this is wrong because seeing from some news Poche was not fired but indeed resigned as Chelsea coach, besides that it's a little silly to be happy with Poche's exit now because it can actually make Chelsea's condition the same at the beginning of the season in the last few seasons because after all when a new coach comes then it is certain that the reshuffle to fit the criteria of the coach will be carried out and obviously this can make Chelsea's situation a little chaotic again just like this season and the previous season.

Even though if you look at the comparison between this season and last season, Chelsea's performance has actually developed in a good direction and when expecting a more decent position it is difficult because we must realize at the beginning of this season Poche tried to turn Chelsea into a club that could compete from the lowest point so that the 6th position was still worthy of their appreciation.

[Ndabagi01]

That's wrong to say the situation in Chelsea is bad just because of their coach or because of some players in this team. You may remember in the last season they also had a bad performance when they had Potter in the team but it was not working for them and now Chelsea can't get good results with Pochettino while he was not guilty for it.
Pochettino tried to make the team younger and he tried to the best he could to improve Chelsea but he could not get the results they wanted to see and that's why they fired him while Pochettino was not the problem in Chelsea.  

One cannot see the performance of Chelsea this season and blame it on the coach that he hasn’t done well this season, he has done better than his predecessors and that’s a big achievement for him and a big achievement to the club as well in all honesty. I still don’t get why Pochettino was sacked all of a sudden, he might have been expecting it before now and the sack must have been part of their agreement if he didn’t fulfil some tasks by end of the season.

His sack was sudden and many Chelsea football fans didn’t expect that to happen to him but it’s all part of the undisclosed agreement with the club. He is a good coach but he might also have some limitations to what he can achieve for the club, if the club doesn’t want that limitations, they will have to sack him and bring someone that can lead the team to their best and to achieve what they want for the club. I think this is the case of Pochettino and he left the position without any more arguments with the management of Chelsea.

Vincent Kompany doesn't feel like he would be a "great" manager. Bayern Munich isn't some new club and they are not really hard to get some managers, I mean getting some world famous level of manager is not a problem for them, like go convince Klopp if you want to.

However, Kompany hasn't been manager for a long time, he just managed Burnley as far as I know and there isn't really anything that makes sense there, it should feel like we are going to end up with nothing of value at all, we are going to probably see Kompany fail at that high level because he has never been there. Don't get me wrong, as a player he has been at high places but as a manager he hasn't been at high places and I think Bayern needs someone with experience.

From grass to grace, this is the perfect illustration. Vincent Kompany have not gained the necessary stands to manage elite club but base on the positive energy during his time managing average clubs, he will definitely survive in Allianz Arena. The ex Manchester City player (captain) and Burnley headcoach have sparks the interests of the Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich this season. I've watch closely how these club's have pick interest in young coaches because everyone seeks for a bright promising future.

Firstly, I don’t think Klopp will accept the offer to coach Bayern Munich that was their direct rivals while he was coaching Dortmund before becoming Liverpool’s managers, and for him to have decided to leave just like that means he may not take any club offer for now.

On the other hand; Vincent Kompany is not a bad coach, he haven’t coached a big team yet but his tactics are better just that they lack quality players that can help the team with extra effort.
I am expecting him to be a very competitive coach at Bayern Munich, he will give his best to overtake Alonso next season.

Another superstar player linked to the Saudi teams and it seems it's the time for Rafael Leão the talented and young player of AC Milan. During this season he had a perfect performance he helped his team to be on the to side of the Serie A. and his performance and his age made some teams to send him an offer. For example, after Mbappe left PSG they wanted to hire Rafael Leão for the next season.
Now it seems Al Hilal is also interested in hiring Rafael Leão and even the 175 million euro clause can't stop Al Hilal while that's a huge amount of money.

This is probably the worst bid that a saudi team could make. Even if they had all the money to sign him, there is no way Leao is going to move there. He is only 25 years old and all the other top clubs on top league have hi on their radar. I know The Saudi Pro League is serious with their project of turning their league into top tier league but this is definitely too much for them. I

Its just absurd to even bid on a 25 years old player. Normally they would go for players over 30 years of age

No club is definitely not taking any managerial role currently as he has started that he is going for a very long and well deserved rest from all this. He even pointed out that it could even be over that he would not return back it. So there is no way Bayern Munich will have gotten him. Moreover the German is a very passionate coach and has this unique bond with the previous employees and this mutual understanding will definitely make him not to take a job from Bayern Munich. I could remember his response of either managing another premier club aside Liverpool and he clearly said he doesn’t see himself doing that.

This is not the first or the most absurd bids by the Saudi pro league clubs. They have started going for younger players to come sign for them not just this season but since last season. The hierarchy said they are quite different from the Chinese and they will start coming for the young players. Last season I could remember some quite few going over there which even made Toni Kroos to criticize the players then. They have also had bids for the likes of Mbappe, Oshimen and other exciting young talents too, so don’t be too surprised as we will definitely see more of it as promised by the Saudi club’s owners

Jurgen Klopp reportedly will choose to rest after resigning as Liverpool manager, and in the near future he has no plans to coach any club, including Bayern Munich. It's true, Jurgen Klopp doesn't seem to be going to coach the club that was once his rival, because he wants to respect Dortmund. Maybe Jurgen Klopp will completely rest for the next season or two, before returning to coaching one of Europe other elite clubs. Barcelona has also been rumored to be interested in recruiting Jurgen Klopp, but even if Jurgen Klopp is interested, it will not happen next season.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, if Bayern Munich appoints Vincent Kompany as Tuchel's next successor, it looks like they will not have many choices after receiving three rejections from three different managers. Vincent Kompany does have the potential to become a great manager if he gets the opportunity to coach a club as big as Bayern Munich, but his challenge next season is to compete with clubs like Leverkusen. Competition in the Bundesliga next season will be very competitive, Bayern Munich must be wise enough in choosing their next manager.

I don't know what was going through Laporta's mind when he fired Xavi, even though he himself was the one who initially asked Xavi to stay. Now everything becomes clear when he shows his true colors and I am quite sad about the news of Xavi's dismissal. Who would have thought that this legend who was so loyal to his former club would have to leave Camp Nou so quickly.

Now Barcelona has replaced Hansi Flick and as we know he is a coach with a lot of experience. I think Barcelona, after firing Xavi, was not wrong in choosing Hansi Flick as his replacement and this will be his new challenge in managing Barcelona until 2026. Let's see if next season Barcelona will find its glory again with Hansi Flick, we should look forward to it.

In my opinion, everything is quite transparent: Laporta, in general, doesn’t care what happens to Barcelona (+- of course), the main thing is that he doesn’t get all the big shots. But Xavi was not content to be the whipping boy to blame for everything and he rightly tried to share responsibility for failures with the management. Naturally, this was unacceptable for Laporta  

With Barcelona's financial situation at the moment, I believe Xavi is the most ideal person. He wanted to leave but Laporta insisted on keeping him just so he could fire him? Ridiculous. I wish Xavi more success in finding a new destination. Barcelona has treated the team's legends very badly. What a string of terrible behavior. With Koeman, with Messi, and with Xavi now, it is very blameworthy. I am really upset with the Barcelona Club leadership. I even think club president Joan Laporta should resign.

[makishart]

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali both are trying to ruin this club with their poor decisions because recently after end of the season I was reading with many fans were happy at the end they are able to have something positive which is surely new start for them, and they can bring this as new era is started but suddenly things gone on wrong side, and we are having another poor decision which can bring instability and chances of improvement less in coming season.

The owners of the Chelsea are obviously not happy with the result for some few games from last season and maybe that's necessitated the result because they did not see Pochettino as an adequate competition for the likes of Manchester City coach and arsenal coach.

See the qualities and requirements that the owners are in search of;

source- X (twitter)

The owners want Chelsea to be able to hold possession like Pep Guardiola and Coach Arteta, which means that they see them as the standard.
I look forward to seeing who the management of Chelsea will appoint as the next coach.

What kind of high standard requirements are these showed by chelsea? I only have one name that can accomplish this. It must be Xavi from Barcelona and that's it. So Chelsea needs to sign him as soon as possible in order to rebuild the club and make it even better than before. I can't believe they set Guardiola and Arteta as the standard. There is no other candidate that can accomplish it other than xavi.

If Chelsea takes Kenneth or Maresca to the club, this must be a fucking joke. How can these coaches compete against Guardiola next season? These are coaches from the championship division, which is nothing compared to the Premier League.
It's crazy if they put very high standard but they were only recruiting championship coach. They shall take world class coach for this.

I'm still wondering why Todd, the Chelsea owner, doesn't try to use his common sense in this situation. It will be a huge mistake if Chelsea hires a coach from a mediocre team. He needs a coach with a clear vision.

I believe Xavi is the only capable coach for this. I am confident in his ability to fight Guardiola and Arteta.

Jurgen Klopp will certainly not accept to be a coach of Bayern next season. He has said that no club and no national team next season, I believe he is a man of his words. He said that he retire from football activity, but he doesn't promise to stay retiring or comeback, but definitely not next season. Even if he comes back to coach a team, it will definitely be not Bayern, it will most probably be a national team.

I don't understand the reasoning of the idea of Bayern hiring Vincent Kompany. His best achievement is that he managed Burnley promoted to Premier League and then get them relegated back to Championship Division. He did never play for Bayern or even other Bundesliga team, he has no experience in Germany football at all. He may be a good coach, but not at Bayern level. This rumor makes me really confused.

Am understanding the fact that football have evolved to the extent that new coaches that can adapt to these new changes. Currently they do not have on coach doing the job alone. They have coaches for various purposes. They have the set piece coach, aerial coach and defensive coaches.

However, for Pochetino it was unexpected, there was no discussion about leaving the club ever. It came like a shock when we all heard about it, i dont knwo who they intend to bring but right now i feel that Chelsea still needs Pochettino in the club.

[Minecache]

I don't know what was going through Laporta's mind when he fired Xavi, even though he himself was the one who initially asked Xavi to stay. Now everything becomes clear when he shows his true colors and I am quite sad about the news of Xavi's dismissal. Who would have thought that this legend who was so loyal to his former club would have to leave Camp Nou so quickly.

Laporta decides to fire Xavi must be caused by some reasons. One of the clear reasons is Xavi failed to give Barcelona a trophy in this season. Laporta can't tolerate this, he expects much on Xavi to win some trophies in this season. Laporta thinks Xavi must be able to lead Barcelona to keep competitive although they are in a financial crisis. It is surely very surprising because we know that Xavi already stated to stay in Barcelona. Now, Laporta suddenly fired him with no clear reasons.

However, I read on the media that there are some possible reasons: https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2024/05/24/6650ad64e2704ebc9c8b4596.html

I think most of the people agreed that this was a bad decision. Like what are they trying to achieve? They are not giving him enough money to work with, they are also not giving him more time. I understand that it was a season where they were unable to win anything. but considering the fact that they are not a club that is financially stable, I did not expect them to take this decision.

Now who are they going to bring in? Have they taken any decision about that? And I have a feeling that whoever is going to come to manage Barcelona, is going to be a downgrade. because no one is going to want to work with a club that does not have a good financial condition. And Barcelona is in huge debt. Let alone having a good financial situation. This decision was definitely a surprise for me. I thought this discussion was over when Xavi decided to stay. Because I thought obviously Barcelona authority had a hand in that.

How do you see this fact, the coach leaving the teams. It would be renewal for the team or it would be due to high salaries, as I believe that a lot of it is not performance, so I think it must be something with the teams themselves.

Vincent Kompany doesn't feel like he would be a "great" manager. Bayern Munich isn't some new club and they are not really hard to get some managers, I mean getting some world famous level of manager is not a problem for them, like go convince Klopp if you want to.

However, Kompany hasn't been manager for a long time, he just managed Burnley as far as I know and there isn't really anything that makes sense there, it should feel like we are going to end up with nothing of value at all, we are going to probably see Kompany fail at that high level because he has never been there. Don't get me wrong, as a player he has been at high places but as a manager he hasn't been at high places and I think Bayern needs someone with experience.

Vincent Kompany give me same vibes of De Rossi. Since I don't think he will be a manager, not just a manager but a top class one at a senior level club, but all we need now is time to see how he adapts and quickly competes with the current best coach in all of Bundesliga Xabi Alonso.

I did read some quality information on how he won the Championship for Burnley, you know we barely watch games from that division so we don't know too much about it.
But then, fingers crossed, if he is being given some qualified signatures and he doesn't know how to utilize them then I don't know. But then, if thr case of Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag parting ways is correct, then they Bayern Munich can have a quick change of mindset.

Ten Hag will take charge of Manchester United for a final time at Wembley on Saturday in the FA Cup final as the Dutchman will depart the club this summer, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, via SoccerNews.nl. The Red Devils are already on the lookout for a new manager and will make a change even if Ten Hag masterminds an FA Cup final win over Manchester City.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-s-decision-made-erik-ten-hag-set-sacked-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos-irrespective-fa-cup-final-result/bltf93e4db08a1d42bb#cs9d5f71c4092d027d

Untied has announced some significant news. Finally, it has been reported that Ineos will use the result against City in the FA Cup as the primary factor in determining Ten Hag's future and im hoping united will not able to get the trophy, im getting upset with ten hag lol. I hope the city wins the game and it makes sense for Ineos to fire him by using failed to win FA cup trophy as the main reason to sack him.
Ten Hag is a garbage coach, and United can hire a good coach to run the club since there are so many great coaches available in the market. There are so many great coaches available right now. I'm hoping United sign Xavi or even Tuchel.

This is a better option than keeping ten hags for another season. Ten Hag is a flop; Ineos should fire him as soon as possible. United has no chance of beating City right now.
City is still at its peak performance and believes that replacing Ten Hag will be the best decision by United.

There's no way United can keep him as a coach for the upcoming season. He will only destroy united.

So Chelsea needs to sign him as soon as possible in order to rebuild the club and make it even better than before. I can't believe they set Guardiola and Arteta as the standard. There is no other candidate that can accomplish it other than xavi.

However, Xavi Hernandez is still loyal to Barcelona even though he previously decided to leave Barcelona, but because the club still wants to work with him, Xavi decided once again to coach Barcelona next season. Xavi is a great coach and his loyalty to the club is no longer in doubt. again so I don't think Chelsea will be able to get him. Not everything can be bought with money even though Chelsea has stable finances and can make a higher offer to Xavi but this coach would definitely prefer to coach Barcelona because he knows Barcelona will have difficulty getting a coach because of their financial condition. those who are down and top coaches will definitely ask for high salaries and that will be burdensome for the club.

In fact, there are other great coaches like Thomas Thucel who is likely to leave Bayern Munich. Previously, this coach had coached Chelsea and won several titles including prestigious titles such as the Champions League. I think it is more important to recruit an experienced coach than to choose a coach who doesn't have much experience because we I don't know whether the coach can coach a club as big as Chelsea. Maybe Thucel failed at Bayern Munich because there were many incompatibilities. But to be at Chelsea, Thucel has already been at this club before, so it's possible that there is still compatibility between the two.

With Barcelona's financial situation at the moment, I believe Xavi is the most ideal person. He wanted to leave but Laporta insisted on keeping him just so he could fire him? Ridiculous. I wish Xavi more success in finding a new destination. Barcelona has treated the team's legends very badly. What a string of terrible behavior. With Koeman, with Messi, and with Xavi now, it is very blameworthy. I am really upset with the Barcelona Club leadership. I even think club president Joan Laporta should resign.

Xavi dismissal certainly caused a lot of controversy that may now be present among Barcelona fans, I think what Laporta did may be beyond his previous intention to keep Xavi, but when he fired Xavi just because of Xavi words, of course it was a ridiculous reason to fire a coach who has had extraordinary services all this time after lifting and restoring Barcelona performance to The right path, for now, of course, many Barcelona fans are disappointed with Laporta decision which is considered unfair and inclined to prioritize his ego and prestige as club president rather than prioritizing common sense and also the interests of the club to bounce back after the financial downturn.

Xavi hard work, which has now succeeded in lifting Barcelona performance and mentality, is certainly an extraordinary achievement, Xavi managed to lift Barcelona performance which was previously slumped due to their difficult finances, with bad finances but Xavi was still able to lift Barcelona performance for the better, of course we can imagine if Barcelona finances were in stable condition, I sure if Barcelona performance Perhaps it will be on par with Barcelona performance under Pep Guardiola previous tutelage, with all of Xavi achievements at Barcelona of course there will be many other teams who may line up for his services as a coach in the future.
