⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

After bringing in Varane, the Como club has now brought in Pepe Reina to be the goalkeeper. Their seriousness in entering Italy's top division deserves to be appreciated because to truly survive for more than one season requires maximum breakthrough. Bringing competition to Serie A must be even more serious. Maybe after Varane and Pepe Reina there will be additional new players for Como midfield.

These folks have passed their prime. Varane, I love the guy, but he's not the defensive beast he used to be. Pepe Reina has experience out of the wazoo; however, is he still agile enough for Serie A? Man seems to be gambling here

You really have to consider long term. This is Serie A, not a trip for nostalgia. You need youthful blood, guys hungry, guys who can sprint for days. Yes, you might live for a little with the old guard, but without some fresh talent you will get torn up and expelled

You must so start investing in the future and get your head out of your ass. You will return in Serie B otherwise

Marcus Rashford wants to stay in Manchester United.

After Zirkzee's arrival to accompany Hojlound, Man United continued to add new players. Maigure's instability problems in many matches last season made Ten Hag eyeing his replacement. One of the new players in the Defender position is Leny Yoro. He is 18 years old, playing for Lille, reportedly Man United has to spend €70 million. Reportedly De Light is also a target for Ten Hag, but the condition of Yoro's arrival could delay De Lihgt arrival.

It's not a very good transfer by Manchester United. You know, Manchester United paid 60 million euros for him. It's too much to get an average player. This is a weird transfer by Manchester United. This was because Manchester United is spending €63m for a kid with 1 year left on his contract at Lyon. This is a usual thing in the Premier League. Mancehster as buying club is a laughing stock now.

It was "OK" when Yoro's price was less than €33m, but Manchester United paid €63m for him is a crazy thing. Yoro needs to tell Meguire about how to survive from lots of criticisms by the fans when he played badly. Good luck to Yorō. He must deal with all of the fans and Press when things go bad for him. But, he's lucky to have meguire.
I can't even believe it. Manchester United have priced out a kid with 1 year left on his contract left €63m.

This sounds bad to me. Also, Real Madrid didn’t want to pay over €30m, and PSG not over €45m. But, United paid €63m. This is why i said that's not a very good transfer by United.

Yoro don't worth £63m man utd flashed on him, it's too much for such players that has not been tested in other leagues, he only played in French league one, I hope it goes well for ETH this time, because he spend so much on players and the end up not adding any value for the squad.   No doubt Yoro has the potentials but the English Premier league is a different league that required more strength and stamina.

Yoro has to turned than Real Madrid for Manchester United because of the price nothing more,  if Erik's fails to win the Premier this season after spending such amount of money in the transfer widow he should be shown the exit door.  

I pity for Ten Hag with his decisions and the heavy amount that Manchester united are spending on buying average players if he does not achieve a better result next season because this is why United management are supporting him with all they can so that he does not give excuses by the end of next season when he fails. 63M is quite big for Yoro and I hope that he shows this value on the field for united.

Calafiori is not 100% to Arsenal yet.
Bologna wants 50mil €, according to rumors Arsenal offered 40€.

The deal is not done yet but if they really wants the player I can't see a big problem for them reaching 45m€, they are in premier they have a lot of money after all.

During lockdown period, like 2020 and a bit after, a lot of teams spent a lot of money on players, we have seen 100+ a few times, and a lot of money spent. The jokes about "oh we were gonna ask 40, but they offered 60" happened a lot, mainly with United but many teams as well. We are seeing now even bigger clubs are trying to make sure they are financially stable, and not go with Barcelona route or United issues.

Arsenal can certainly afford to pay up 50, that's nothing to them, well not nothing but if they want a player enough to pay up 40, they can afford to pay 50 as well, that little 10 million difference is nothing to them for real. However, they still haggle because premier league clubs got a lot richer lately and that causes a lot of trouble. The TV rights yearly is nearly 2 billion dollars, so everyone is getting a ton of money, at some point I remember premier league winner got more money than UCL winner.

So all in all, they realize they can't just be pegged for more money all the time, and decided that they would rather go back on an offer and find other players until they find one of value, instead of keep going around overpaying for players at all times for no reason at all.

Amadou Onana is very close to Aston Villa, and it will be done this weekend according to Sky Sports.
Klopp is not interested in taking England national team he just wants a break.
Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Szczesny will not go to Al-Nassr's, where he will go?

Manchester United have a long way to go next season, it’s been really a tough one for the Red Devils in the past decades but they’re gradually improving. Erik Ten Hag have to put down the necessary evidence that makes him a competitive competent coach in Old Trafford. He’s gathering the required players for next season, we believed him to be mapping out the solid sector of the big winning.

You all be sounding ridiculous as though it's a waste of funds by Ten Hag spending such amount of money on the  centre-back from Lillie if he wasn't that good and worth the fee as you all be saying then clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid wouldn't have been in the race for Yoro as Manchester united. The player by his age is a potential for the club future signing a five year deal at a time Manchester united is in dire need of creative defenders for a long term competitive plan in the EPL. I probably think you all should hold your criticism until you see him play and not comparing him with Maguire just too quick.

I don't see any possibility of Manchester United doing better in the coming season above what they did in the last season, most of the players that joining the teams are obviously average players from all indication there isn't anything to point at the moment to suggest that next season would go well in Thier favour. I feel it's not even about signing too much players and our expectation shouldn't be centered at the coming players hoping they will do any thing different from what the old players are doing. We need to see the kind of passion maino and Bruno Fernandes played with at the Euros reflecting in the coming season and hope that rashford comes back to his full firm to assist the team. Like the top clubs like Manchester City, real Madrid, arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, regardless of the kind of players they succeed in signing, they already know that the team already has a shape and can still do well while the new players are allowed to blend into the play pattern of the team. Leny yoro isn't a bad signing for the devils but we can't really expect too much from him.

This deal is very complicated. I hate that third party nonsense. Bologna needs the cash and they want to boycott Basel, which is very very bad. You bought someone for €2m and you stand to gain over €20m on the deal as per the 50% sell on clause. There’s absolutely no negotiation to be done from Basel. If they’re unhappy with how much they’re getting for him, they should charge Arsenal more. They wouldn’t have agreed to such a high sell in clause if they believed the player was going to develop into a very good player that would be fetching them this much. They played themselves! I hope Basel doesn't agree to that nonsense. If the deal slags longer, maybe the best way to solve this is for Arsenal to increase the fee..like €50m-€55m.
I wonder if arsenal can do that. Arsenal also need to sell and they haven't.  I also think Arsenal are focusing on the wrong thing.

Manchester United definitely needs to strengthen its defense, in my opinion, this was one of the most problematic lines in the team. Ten Hag receives funds for transfers, which means he is still trusted, considering that he was on the verge of being fired, this is very good. I don’t expect that Manchester United will be able to become a noticeably different team in the new season, I think that for this to happen very significant changes need to be made, but Ten Hag will try again.

He is a young defender and Real Madrid was after him. I think if he didn't deserve this money, other clubs wouldn't be after him. Since the area where Manchester United generally had problems was the defensive line, they had to strengthen it here.

Eric Tan Hag, although this player is young, is at a very good level. What I can say is that before Eric Tan Heg arrived two seasons ago, Manchester United's situation was much worse, he achieved at least a few successes and made the team better than then, maybe he can make the team better this season.

[arallmuus]

Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Manchester City wont allow it unless Alvarez really push through this deak and this is my personal opinion but for a 24 years old player like Alvarez, its about time for him to get out of his safe zone unless really wants to spend his time playing as Haaland's shadow

Yeah Pep would most likely rotate him with Haaland or put him behind Haaland but he is way better than that, other club would have offered him full playing time on most games so its just way better scenario for him

[Stepstowealth]

Amadou Onana is very close to Aston Villa, and it will be done this weekend according to Sky Sports.

Onana is a very good and strong defensive midfielder and he would be a very good player to Aston villa as they try to maintain or possibly improve the performance they had this season and also make a clean to the champions League next season as they have qualified for it.

Klopp is not interested in taking England national team he just wants a break.

To be the coach of England is even more demanding than being the coach of Liverpool, and since klopp is not interested in taking the England job it is obvious that he needs rest or a job that would not be as demanding as the former job he just left.

For the new Manchester United central midfielder, I look to see how he will perform next season with the butcher.

You have spoken well @SUPERSAIAN and that's exactly how it is if we're to be sincere about how Manchester united was before Ten Hag arrival at the club to manage it. The club has been struggling with many issues about the Glazier's that raze fans to request for the sale of the club to capable new hands. Nevertheless,
 if the club owners didn't observed a significant improvement with the club under Ten Hag management am unsure he would have been offered another chance to manage Manchester united and also given free hands to make choices of players he would be needing for the incoming season.

Defense was one of Manchester united trouble and he has been able to get such a young talented centre-back to pair with in that position, what I think he should do next is to go for another quality midfielder cause it's one area they need to build as well.

The rumors are that he is  eyeing the Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot who is currently standing as a free agent and to me that sounds great for a good contract to be fast tracked for Manchester united. I trust that Ten hag is going to have a wonderful season  and Manchester united fans are going to appreciate what his choices of players later on.

Manchester United are already doing some nice business already in this transfer window. I saw an update just now that they've agreed a personal agreement with Manuel Ugarte. It this is true then that's a positive news for United. They need a midfielder like that. Casemiro and Amrabat were underperforming last season and it would be a good thing to get a credible DM for next season.
They still have a long way to go because they need to reinforce a lot of the positions in their team, but I think they're doing a great job.
I don't have so much in Ten Hag, but with the right players he can be able to fight for the top 4. I don't think they can compete for the league, I don't think they have what it takes.

Well that’s what is required of him and if he can fulfill that and make Manchester United come back to their winning ways, he’ll have a long time contract with them that will make his stay in the club wonderful. Manchester United hasn’t bring in a lot of players this transfer season but there’s still more time since the transfer window hasn’t been opened for quite a long time now. With the players on ground and a good strategy used on them in the field of play, I’m sure they can produce excellent result for the team and make them outshine their other opponents when the league begins. For a person who more is given, more is expected from him, I don’t think Ten Hag will joke on this opportunity given to him again.

[Amphenomenon]

Amadou Onana is very close to Aston Villa, and it will be done this weekend according to Sky Sports.

I think we can say Amadou Onana move to Aston villa is a done deal, Aston Villa are seriously recruiting stars I'm curious to see how well they go this coming season, I guessed this was among the reason a top coach like Unai choose Aston Villa.

Klopp is not interested in taking England national team he just wants a break.
Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Szczesny will not go to Al-Nassr's, where he will go?

I think Klopp will stick to his break since if it would have been easy for England to convince him then Liverpool would have been having higher tendency of doing same since its obvious they never wanted him to leave not yet.

Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Szczesny will not go to Al-Nassr's, where he will go?

I think if Alavarez force his way Man City might just end up letting him go to Atletico Madrid after all its not a rivals club and to be frank Alavarez deserves more playing time but I don't know how well Atletico Madrid style of play may fit him.

I don't really know if there are better options for Szczesny outside Al-Nassr's

About Julian Alvarez currently he have to compete with Haaland for one place on Manchester City front lines but i think he would be lost because most likely Guardiola will choose Haaland as striker position so that's why last season Julian Alvarez performance is not too good and this makes him thinking to leave Manchester City this summer because Julian Alvarez want to gets more opportunities to playing regularly which he won't get that as long as there is Haaland at Manchester City

Manchester City has give their respond about this rumour that they probably will release Alvarez this summer but only if Guardiola has decide will not use him anymore but Guardiola said Alvarez is still important for Manchester City and probably he will not allowing him to moved from Manchester City but this is complicated because although Guardiola want to hold him but recently Julian Alvarez has refuse contract extension which given by Manchester City

Atletico Madrid so far the most serious team who really want to buy Julian Alvarez even if Julian Alvarez is willing to moved to Atletico Madrid then they will guarantee one place on Atletico Madrid starting lineup which mean his chances to playing regularly in Atletico Madrid is very wide open compared to when he will be stayed at Manchester City and indeed after lost Morata Atletico Madrid is look for the replacement of this player and i can see Julian Alvarez is one of their candidate

[EL MOHA]

These folks have passed their prime. Varane, I love the guy, but he's not the defensive beast he used to be. Pepe Reina has experience out of the wazoo; however, is he still agile enough for Serie A? Man seems to be gambling here

You really have to consider long term. This is Serie A, not a trip for nostalgia. You need youthful blood, guys hungry, guys who can sprint for days. Yes, you might live for a little with the old guard, but without some fresh talent you will get torn up and expelled

You must so start investing in the future and get your head out of your ass. You will return in Serie B otherwise

Como is a very small club in the terms of even the financial strength they have compared to the other Serie A clubs, they miraculously managed to get promoted to the top flight and needed players but do they have the funds to sign the so called talented players No they don’t, so rather they took the route of adding experience players with which they would spend less. The young players that you said they need were the players they currently have in abundance; young talents were what the had I. This older players are needed to add experience: the like of Pepe reina is not going to be the number goalkeeper with the club but rather a backup to the incoming Diego Lopez

 

Manchester United definitely needs to strengthen its defense, in my opinion, this was one of the most problematic lines in the team. Ten Hag receives funds for transfers, which means he is still trusted, considering that he was on the verge of being fired, this is very good. I don’t expect that Manchester United will be able to become a noticeably different team in the new season, I think that for this to happen very significant changes need to be made, but Ten Hag will try again.

The current Manchester United board are definitely very good in their approach. People thought the club actually approves anything or rather every signing but no just that he was consulted as the head coach ti veto some of this signings. This is the same thing that this current board is doing but the scouting of the players now is quite different and a better approach to the past but it has nothing to do with Ten Hag rather the new board of directors are the ones. This will definitely put on more effort in

[Leviathan.007]

Yeah, but he is not English, and a Spanish manager at England feels odd to me for some reason. I do not know why, we have seen different nationality managers at national team all around, it is not a first and won't be a first, but at the same time we are still talking about potential of issues.

I rather keep it English if you ask me, I am not English so I do not have any say in this, not even as a fan because I am not, but in my country if we were looking for a manager, I would have picked someone from the nation itself, there are some good English managers out there anyway, so it wouldn't be impossible to handle that.

The Guardian talks about six candidates to fill the space:

- Eddie Howe (Newcastle looks confident to keep him though)
- Graham Potter (He was good with Brighton but I don't know what he can do with English national team  )
- Mauricio Pochettino (He might be a good candidate maybe)
- Thomas Tuchel (He is said to have given a career break)
- Lee Carsley (I don't have much knowledge about him)
- Jürgen Klopp (Same with Tuchel's situation)

The trouble here is that Southgate seems to be staying ...

No he isn't, as you can see below.    He is no longer England manager officially.



https://www.transfermarkt.com/gareth-southgate/profil/trainer/3358

There are many coaches in the world who can work in England and they are not working in any team. Maye Klopp could start working there but he said he is tired and he need some rest which means he is out. Tuchel has not had a good performance recently and some other coaches like Pochettino and Potter can have more chances to start working in England as the next coach.
I think Pochettino can be the best option they can have because he had a good performance at Chelsea.

After bringing in Varane, the Como club has now brought in Pepe Reina to be the goalkeeper. Their seriousness in entering Italy's top division deserves to be appreciated because to truly survive for more than one season requires maximum breakthrough. Bringing competition to Serie A must be even more serious. Maybe after Varane and Pepe Reina there will be additional new players for Como midfield.

Damn, this is a crazy decision from Fabregas. I never expected COMO to sign Pepe Reina, who is 41 years old, to be a goalkeeper. This is pure gambling. I know that even if Pepe Reina was an experienced keeper, using 41 years to compete in Serie A is so risky. But i think Como might have a plan for this.
They did very well by moving up from Serie C to Serie A in a short time. Pepe Reina wasn't playing a lot last season. This sounds very bad. Pepe Reina is too old, and his response is getting worse. But, there might be a special plan for him.

I can't really imagine if Reina becomes the first-choice goalkeeper. That's kinda crazy for sure. This was because Como is now competing in Serie A, which is the best league in Italy. I can't really say this was representing Como's seriousness for Serie a.
They will have recruited a better goalkeeper than Pepe Reina. Como has the richest owner in the Serie A now. I hope that Reina is gonna be the second choice.
