⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Barikui1]

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.

Southgate failed to bring England to be the champion for the second time and it was very painful because they reached the final with a lot of struggle. From what I saw England did not have a dangerous striker and Harry Kane did not show the class as one of the deadly strikers. After the competition ended, Southgate resigned as coach and I don't know the exact reason but what I saw was because he always failed to give his best for England.

Of the three names you mentioned, I am more interested in Jurgen Klopp than Tuchel or Pochettino. But for Jurgen Klopp, it might take time to convince himself after leaving Liverpool. Preparation after preparation must be done so that England can prepare some new strengths for the future.

Southgate should have done that because he has failed and in my opinion there is nothing missing from the England squad, they have everything but Southgate has not succeeded in making this team even better.
And overall, I think England's failure to win the Euro title is appropriate, their performance has been very bad since the start of the Euro tournament, they were just a little lucky to reach the final.

Now it's not just these 3 names but there are also several other names that are being rumored, but in my opinion, finding a coach who excels when coaching a team and has never coached a national team will be quite difficult to recruit.

In my own opinion, Garry Southgate is actually a disappointment of a manager, he is no different from graham potter, just clueless, this immediate past uefa euros should have been their moment if Garry Southgate was a competent coach, am saying this because if you look at this English team, they have it all in their arsenal to win this trophy, though they were quite lucky in terms of their journey to the finals, but they were let down by the decision making of Garry Southgate.

If you look at the performance of foden and harry Kane from the group stage to the semi final, they weren't doing well, and they should have been replaced by cole palmer and Watkins in the starting line up, but the clueless manager left them in the field of play, which made the Spanish team to have more joy to do more damage to them, ok let's look at foden's performance from the group stage to the finals, no assist, no goal, no major impact, he should have been replaced since by cole palmer, but the manager left him on the bench for long, and to be frank, that's what cost them that trophy.

[Xcode7]

I see a very mature decision made by Southgate to leave his role as coach of the England national team, looking at his statistics in dealing with England, there is nothing satisfactory with the brilliant players that England has, but Southgate is not able to give his best and this is a wise decision he made for the national team England is improving under the new head coach.
Currently there are many names that England is considering to bring a new name to its training bench and the closest is Potter and he is also of British nationality but considering that he is not a suitable name, in my personal opinion England has the opportunity to bring Guardiola to manage the England national team because he is has proven that he can handle teams with big names and I think Guardiola is the most suitable to fill the England coaching bench.

There is no other choice for Southgate, he has been coaching England for a long time but there is no better progress so he has to make that decision, I think this decision is good for both of them, good for Southgate's career and will also be good for the England national team for the future front.

Now there are several coaches being rumored and Guardiola is even the main target to be able to handle the English team, but I think it will be difficult because so far Pep Guardiola has never been a national team coach.
However, with the squad that England currently has, especially the many potential young players they have, I am optimistic enough about the attractiveness of becoming a top coach to want to accept this job.

I read news about Manchester United buying 18-year old Leny Yoro from Lille for 62 million euro and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for 42 million euro. I haven't heard anything about these two players. All I see is that they are both young and overpriced. Yoro is a defender and United desperately better defenders, but an 18 year old defender probably won't do the job at stabilizing the defense. Maybe Ten Hag knows what he's doing, but I'm kinda skeptical.
Manchester City bought a 20 year old Brazilian player from Girona for 35 million. The transfer market is crazy. Paying tens of millions for young players is a madness.

I was also quite surprised by the price that was used as a dowry to buy the two players and I think it sounds excessive from any angle.

I also don't really know how the potential is and maybe Manchester United have an interest in the two players to dare to take a very high dowry, yes we also understand that Manchester United's defense is not good so it might be a long investment for them to compete much better in the league. but still I also feel it is too expensive if based on qualifications.

The transfer market is really crazy now it even seem now like younger players are even worth more nowadays because alot of teams are now looking to sign young talent even before they develop fully i am not sure the reason why United have opt for young players but Chelsea have clearly stated they want to build a project of young players and so they are more focused on signing young talents.

Spending 100 million on 2 young players that may probably end up sitting on the bench all season is not ideal for Manchester United in my opinion, what they need are players that will have immediate impact on the team because they lack good players. These youngsters are clearly not the solution and i also think they are overpriced, with the nature of Premier League football will these youngsters find it easy to adapt?

Of course, actually than Yoro De Light is more experienced, the price is also unlikely to be too expensive. At the age of 24 he still has a long period of service. But it seems that De Light will find it difficult to go to Man United because of the arrival of Yoro, their money seems to be limited. Man United is also interested in Branthwaite. The Everton player was offered £50 million but was rejected. With the current conditions, it is certainly difficult, because Man United also seems to need a left-back.

Source : Mason Greenwood signs in as new Olympique Marseille number

This is really crazy, Man Utd really let go of Mason Greenwood?
Hey, he's still young and actually he has good talent as a right winger.
Meanwhile, Man Utd chose to get new players who are younger than developing the talent that Mason Greenwood has.

What is Erik Ten Hag planning?
I think Marseille were lucky to get such a young player for around 30 million and Mason could become a highly valued player with his new club.

A good decision but he should have done it sooner because I don't see anything positive coming out from him ever since they lost to Italy in the finals back then in 2020. He has every fire power but utilizing it is a big problem, not that he's confused on who to start or invite but getting all the players to join the squad at once and we know there are some players who doesn't deserve to be called up so the weakness and poor performance of England is all on Southgate, I think is a very late decision making. If Pep Guardiola had to coach England it means they have to wait for his stay at Etihad expires and the 3 Lions only have to do with a caretaker coach till Pep is free from coaching City.

This is really the era of young talents in football first of all. Teams don't hesitate to spend lots of money on such players. However in my opinion, 62 million euros for Leny Yoro is just too much, isn't it?  

And yeah maybe if Real Madrid wasn't also interested then the Red Devils might have signed him for a more reasonable price. This really helped Lille make more money from this transfer.    I'm curious about especially one thing now. Will the Red Devils still sign de Ligt as well?

Because they had better be ready to spend at least a similar sum to sign him too. Bayern Munich wouldn't like to let one of their most important defenders go for a cheap price.

The purchase of Leny Yoro for me is right because Manchester United have a weakness in the center-back position. The presence of Yoro will be an option for Erik ten Hag to make him a good tandem with Martinez. Mertinez last season was often injured, if the situation repeats in the 2024/2025 season, Yoro will be the main choice with Evans or Maguire.

Leny Yoro is still 18 years old, with a rather high transfer fee but he could be a future project for Manchester United although he will have difficulties that make him have to compete if ten Hag does not give him a main position. But if you look back at last season, it looks like Yoro will be Erik ten Hag's first choice.

If we talking about England this team was never lack of talented players and every generations this team always be produce plenty of young talented players but England have one big problem that they have had for decades that everytime playing at big tournaments such as world cup or Euro cup England was never able to performing well and it proven from their achievement because last time England gets the trophy from major competition on world cup 1966 but since that year England always be failed to gets the trophies

If the benchmark is a trophy obviously Southgate was failed because although he can bringing England to advances to the final matches of Euro Cup two times in a row but in fact until now England still no trophies under him but if we see from the statistics obviously England under Southgate is very impressive because when train this team Southgate can bringing England to gets runner up of Euro Cup 2 times and semifinal of world cup and England too can gets 3rd place of Nation League on 2019

I have discuss about this before because seems Guardiola is the strongest candidate to be the manager of England even England has willing to wait until Guardiola contract expired with Manchester City but besides Guardiola i found at least 4 candidates such as Eddie Howe, Maurico Pochettino, Graham Potter and the latest is Thomas Tuchel

But in the current transfer market seeing big clubs buying young players is no longer a rare thing. Chelsea is even far ahead in bringing in young players among clubs in the Premier League. And Chelsea has been doing it since last season and the result is that Chelsea has indeed discovered an extraordinary talent like Palmer. And in this transfer market Chelsea also brought in more and much younger players. And I wouldn't be surprised if Man United and Man City did it too. But yeah, relying on young players in the back line doesn't look good. But if it works then Man United will have a player for the long term. Now all teams seem to be starting to prioritize team building for the long term. Maybe this was inspired by Barcelona and Real Madrid who were also successful last season in bringing out their young players. Like Arda Guler and Lamine Yamal. And in the coming season I think there will be more young players starting to have a stage in European football.

A little unfamiliar with the two players but so at a high price maybe the two players have previous quality in the club first then Man United dared to pay dearly even though it was a young player that the club dared to spend to recruit Leny Yoro.
No wonder if there are skeptics why easy players are already expensive, maybe Erik Ten Hag already knows how the player I will not blame him if he plays well.
I want to see how Leny Yoro and Zirkzee perform with Man United and how Erik Ten Hag puts these players right at the club with his formation.

[naira]

Ten Hag efforts will determine the direction of Manchester United next season, he must learn from his failure last season which made it difficult for Manchester United to compete in the EPL. Manchester United statistics last season were far from perfect, their defense line was very chaotic which made it very easy for the opposing team to break into their goal. Ten Hag also needs to bring in quality strikers so that the illnesses experienced by his team last season can be cured.

Manchester United's front line was very blunt, they had difficulty scoring goals even though they were facing a weak team. Ten Hag must choose the right players to fill any gaps in his squad, defense is a priority, he also needs to bring in a new striker to add sharpness to Manchester United's front line.

And look now, Ten Hag has brought in several players, recently Yoro was brought in at a fairly expensive price. So so far there have been no surprising player transfers from Ten Hag selection. Their finances are limited and adding a striker is not necessarily ideal when Erik Ten Hag selection of players is still below standard. I'm not sure about Manchester United fate next season, whether it will improve the situation or remain stagnant. This is no longer about adding players but about the quality of coaches.

Nowadays the clubs pay very crazy sums and I really wonder to what extent this can be justified economically? In the end, the bubble will explode here like back then with the Immo bubble, this time just the player bubble.

Zirkzee played at FC Bayern Munich, from there I know him but 42 million he is never worth to me.

Manchester City bought a 20 year old Brazilian player from Girona for 35 million. The transfer market is crazy. Paying tens of millions for young players is a madness.

I also think that this young defender Leny Yoro is overpriced or overhyped. His transfer fee of £52 Million made him the third expensive teenage signing in the English premier. The first and second position is occupied by Romeo Lavia and Antony Martial respectively. Much is not known to me about his performance in Lille but the interest of some top clubs to grab him shows that he has the quality of a good defender. Real Madrid was making moves to sign the Frenchman's signature but he has preference for Manchester United. These days younger players are showing great potential and I wouldn't be surprised if these young signees become important players in United.

Zirkzee is an excellent signing, I would say a great signing, I saw his performances live on the pitch with my own eyes and to say that he is strong is an understatement considering his young age and his move to a big league he can really make a great championship while for the I won't comment on the other two because I've seen very little in the championships where they played but they certainly won't be bad

The young player is a perfect striker and a good team player. He is strong, has good ball control, and is also tall. He was instrumental to Bologna's qualification to the UEFA Champions League qualification last season with eleven goals and five assists Although he was not used in the just concluded European Nations Cup, he would be a good asset to Manchester United.

[bitLeap]

Manchester United continue to try to add depth to their current squad, last season Manchester United were the worst team in their defense so it is not surprising that Manchester United brought in Leny Yoro at the moment, but what is quite surprising to me is Manchester United courage in buying Leny Yoro even double the original price, competition with Madrid makes it possible for Manchester United to pay more to Lille but to Players his age Obviously if Manchester United are too crazy to spend up to €63 million, Manchester seem to have never learned to buy players so far and they still continue to spend a lot of money to buy players without any prior consideration, previously we saw how Manchester United spent a lot of money to buy Antony, Maguire, Paul Pogba and Van de Beek but their all failed in manchester united,  So that Leny Yoro, who is bought expensively, will also be very burdened with great expectations from Manchester United and will most likely make it difficult for him to develop later.

I'm also a little curious if Yoro purchase was a hasty purchase. Because of course, after this expensive purchase, United fans' expectations of his performance are very high and make no mistake, if Yoro performs poorly in his first season, he will receive harsh criticism like the purchases of Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat. In my opinion, as the club with the biggest supporters, Man United will always be required to be able to show their best performance, both as a team as a whole and individually. These high expectations do not only apply to Yoro, but also apply to Joshua Zirkzee and several Man United players whose contracts have been extended.

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.

I think Pochettino can be the best option they can have because he had a good performance at Chelsea.

Of the three names you mentioned, I am more interested in Jurgen Klopp than Tuchel or Pochettino. But for Jurgen Klopp, it might take time to convince himself after leaving Liverpool. Preparation after preparation must be done so that England can prepare some new strengths for the future.

The performance of Southgate disappointed me. All of us could see. Our team is full of champions; men like Kane and Foden ought to be igniting the planet. But they were underused, bound by Southgate's subdued methods. Really, keeping Foden on when he is obviously not generating? Winners do not act in this way. You have to call the difficult decisions. Perhaps Palmer, perhaps Watkins might have turned things around against Spain. Southgate lacked the bravery to experiment. There were not the outcomes. England ought better. Regarding Klopp, he is obviously a proven winner. Rebuilding a team in your vision does not happen quickly though. Though its a risk, England could have to make this one.

[Leviathan.007]

It seems Manchester City doesn't need John Stones anymore and they want to give this player to the Saudis. Since Al Ittihad asked Manchester City about their player, it seems they didn't need Stones and they want to sell Stones to earn some more money.
Manchester City wants to get 40 million euros for Stones which is a high amount of money but since Al Ittihad needs this player, they are ready to pay this money and hire Stones.
Stones joined Manchester City back in 2016.

Maybe Ten Hag knows what he's doing, but I'm kinda skeptical.

Leny Yoro I'd say was initially interested with the move to Real Madrid, for you to get such a player to Manchester United and not Real Madrid, you cannot go for the same figures presented by Real Madrid. In the nearest future, you'll look back and say that, he is really worth the buy, even at 18, I can vouch for him being better than Harry Maguire. Football has evolved and these are the modern day defenders that thrives. I'm not trying to defend the valuation placed on him, but he's a generational talent ansnis worth the buy.

Joshua Zirkzee has experience, you must have seen him one way or the other playing for Bayern Munich, but long time now. He isnot a bad player, not the type coming into Manchester United with so much expectations and hype. He'll keep a cool head and do a fantastic job. Having both Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Erik Ten Hag ( Both Dutch ) backing him would ne peng.

So many setbacks Erik Ten Hag faced last season because he didn't have a consistent backline who was fitand hundred percent. Great season ahead for the Dutchman.

Yes. Unlike previous transfer periods, MU operates very actively and quickly in the 2024 summer market. Zirkzee has long been considered a modern striker who can reach the level of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Meanwhile, Yoro is currently considered "Saliba 2.0".
The fact that MU spent more than 60 million euros to buy an 18-year-old player made many people worried. When Yoro came to MU, compared to Ligue 1, the Premier League was much harsher. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this 18-year-old defender has a huge challenge ahead. Overall, Yoro is a gamble worth trying for MU, in the context that this team has just gone through a forgettable 2023/24 season in terms of defense.
As for Zirkzee, At the age of 23, Zirkzee's level is only at the potential level. The most outstanding feature of Zirkzee is his impressive physical appearance. He is 1.93 m tall and always plays with abundant physical strength and a very high spirit of dedication. Zirkzee to MU can replace Anthony Martial. The opportunity for Zirkzee to compete for a starting position is wide open, as Rasmus Hojlund has not yet confirmed his position as coach Ten Hag's numben-o striker. It can be said that MU is tending to learn from Real Madrid's methods. That is recruiting excellent young talents to build a team for the future, instead of spending too much money on established stars.

Manchester City bought a 20 year old Brazilian player from Girona for 35 million. The transfer market is crazy. Paying tens of millions for young players is a madness.

I watched Savio from Girona, he is a great lad. Pep Guardiola really made the right call for him to be signed, in the next few months you'd be a fan. With his creativity, I do think he's worth the buy too.

The Brazilian spent an excellent 2023/24 season on loan at Girona, scoring 11 goals and contributing 10 assists. He contributed greatly to helping this team win the right to participate in the Champions League for the first time in history. I think Man City is paying a fairly cheap fee for a potential player like Savio.

And look now, Ten Hag has brought in several players, recently Yoro was brought in at a fairly expensive price. So so far there have been no surprising player transfers from Ten Hag selection. Their finances are limited and adding a striker is not necessarily ideal when Erik Ten Hag selection of players is still below standard. I'm not sure about Manchester United fate next season, whether it will improve the situation or remain stagnant. This is no longer about adding players but about the quality of coaches.

I think Manchester United was too brave in transferring Leny Yoro.  £52 million is quite a high figure. And what surprised me was that if I'm not mistaken, Real Madrid only offered Leny Yoro about half of the offer paid by Manchester United. Manchester United seems to be serious about improving their back line which was very bad last season. But yeah, this is a pretty fantastic offer. Hopefully it matches the quality of the player. And now Manchester United are still looking for other defenders to bring in. And one of the names they are currently targeting is Matthijs de Ligt, who is a central defender for Bayern Munich. And it would be very interesting if Manchester United also succeeded in bringing in this player. At least I now really agree with Ten Hag regarding the players he is targeting in the transfer market. Especially for the defender position.
