⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Helena Yu]

European football is seeing more and more talented coaches, with increasingly modern and intelligent coaching and management styles. Let's discuss who is the best. I will name 4 coaches that I want to discuss: Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso, Erik Ten Hag, and Xavi Hernandez. Personally, I think Arteta is the best, he has built Arsenal in an upward direction, with good control with a higher pressing style of play. What do you think?

Ten Hag is the best, he's the only one that can find the strongest player which is Antony. He also sign both Onana and Mount, two of them are second best players than Antony, they can fight against Real Madrid.

He's also know Ronaldo is a worst player and Sancho is over, that's why he don't mind to argue with Ronaldo and give punishment to Sancho.

If I were The Glazers, I would offer lifetime contract to Ten Hag because I don't want him to move to other team, it will be a disaster to Manchester United.

Don't be too honest buddy. Lol

When Onana was poor Erik ten Hag was the first to defend him even though it cost the club because he made blunders.
Mount is useless in my opinion, but for Ten Hag he is a great player.
Antony is an expensive player but starting to fade.

Erik Ten Hag at Ajax was much better, but when he came to Man United everything changed.

[Hvdv]

but it was normal for the departure of Osimhen who in my opinion is a great player in my opinion it could really happen but in my opinion the exchange with Lukaku should not be done because he is exchanging himself for an old player who will not be able to do like Osimhen, plus losing even some money!

Although doing the exchange Napoli still gets benefits if the price of Lukaku is reduced with the price agreement between the two clubs with this can also reduce Chelsea's expenses so far Chelsea has recruited many players in total there are 12 players they brought to the club if they add Victor Oshimen will further increase Chelsea's expenses at least they can reduce some players to sell to other clubs.

Lukaku is needed by Napoli and vice versa Chelsea needs Oshimen so the exchange of both will be the right choice for each club.

The possibility of a trade is of course the best option for both teams, but will Osimhen want it? Maybe he will prefer to stay in Napoli for another year instead of playing for Chelsea, who will not play in the UCL. Napoli has a very good history and with the right tactics they have a chance to win the Scudetto again. Conte may want to keep Osimhen in the team and want to win the championship. I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

Really? Is this some form of sarcasm, or What? Did you say Ronaldo was a worse player? Well, I don't think so. Erik Ten Hag could not manage Ronaldo at a time and that inhibits his much expected performance in the club. Ronaldo is a world time best player and you cannot expect him to be treated like other young talented players even though I'm not saying you should have any grandiose treatment either. But the way you manage a star player like Ronaldo will definitely be different from how you manage other players and likewise the expectations you have from him. But when he started having issues with Erik Ten Hag, I knew nothing positive was going to come out of it. Erik would have done better with Ronaldo than when he was absent. Ronaldo would have been used to stabilize the front and create goals for the club while he also assist the younger players to score more goals. Even when he tried, he couldn't because he was literally frustrated by his manager. It became more evident when Ronaldo left for the Saudi Pro League and how he was able to show his presence in an entirely new league with new squad.

He did that is a definite thing because after all it is a form of protection for the players so that their mentality remains awake besides that, it is also used as an excuse to make his purchase not used as an excuse so that he is not a very good coach for Manchester United especially with all his ego of course he does not want to be blamed
Furthermore I think it is not wrong if we criticize some players at Manchester United but maybe there is a slight exception for Mount last season. Indeed he also did not play well but it cannot be denied that this happened due to the many injuries he received which required him to rest for a long time in the treatment room so that he was unable to compete well and give his performance at Manchester United last season.

I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

Staying at Napoli also does not guarantee Osimhen's career will be better in the future, I think the problem is not only that but also between Napoli management and Osimhen who no longer have strong chemistry and in my opinion Osimhen is no longer wholeheartedly playing for Napoli so it is indeed appropriate for Napoli management to sell Osimhen in the transfer market this season and in my opinion it will work well for both Napoli and Osimhen.

There are many possible options to happen, an exchange or Osimhen going to another team because currently there are several teams interested in bringing in Osimhen but are constrained by the selling price which is too high set by Napoli management.

but it's not the same to play the Champions League with Napoli as with Chelsea, let's face it, Napoli won't even be able to compete for the Scudetto this year because there are many teams that are coming up and want to win, so it will be a team that will have to fight for the top places in the championship at least the first year

[Velvet78]

But, I still question whether Napoli has money to sign him from Manchester United. or will they send another nonsense offer like they did to Chelsea over Lukaku?

I don't know how good their finances are recently honestly. But if they especially agree on a deal for Osimhen ASAP then they would be able to afford many players. But first they need to make some sacrifice from the amount they want (130 million euros).    Let's say they agreed for around 100 million, it would be great for them anyway. For now they are in talks with Chelsea. There might be swap plus money deal as Napoli wants Lukaku.

Joao Felix to Chelsea... Very likely to happen soon as it seems. It would be great news for Atletico Madrid and Felix both. He has no future left there you know. Chelsea will need to pay quite a lot for his fee though. I hope he would show performances proving his value.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

The transfer window closes in two weeks, there will probably be a flurry of activity as clubs panic and try to improve their squads. Some of the big deals are usually done late on in the transfer window so should be an interesting time.

Still Liverpool have signed nobody, I still hope we bring a couple of players in but for now the most important thing is to win against Ipswich tomorrow.

[HajiBagi]

I think that financially it’s great for Osimhen, Chelsea give out ridiculously long contracts to players so their future is secure, no matter how bad they perform.

As a sporting decision it’s a really crap move for Osimhen, Chelsea are a mess.

Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba are trying to make sure that Osimhen signs for Chelsea because they believe he can really do well, maybe he will because he has a very good fighting spirit.

I was surprised from the news to see Crystal Palace loose Michael Olise to Bayern, Manchester United were pushing the race before. Olise in Bayern will be a very good one to help Kompany claim back the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich.

Osimhen to Chelsea will be very good and he will help the team but the negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea will not hold due to the amount that Napoli wants to sell the player also it depends on the player because the player also demands a higher salary and Chelsea don’t want to pay the amount he wants, mikel obi Drogba can talk to Osimhen since they are very close to him and advise him since they both want him to play for Chelsea, Osimhen can become a good player and win trophy if he join Chelsea.

About Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, Crystal Palace made money by selling Olise Because many clubs wanted to sign him and he chose Bayern Munich over the other clubs, Olise in Bayern Munich is going to have a good chance to play because of his performance in Olympic Games was very impressive and I believe with the players Bayern Munich have currently they are going to have a good season.

Ten Hag is in charge of Manchester United, and things have gone badly. Are you excited about the books he's signing? Antony? Too expensive and not very good. Onana? First saves the ball, then lets one slip through. Ten Hag is standing up for him? We call that denial

Mount? Another Ten Hag favorite, but what difference does it make? There are lots of better midfielders out there. Don't forget about Ronaldo either. A star was too much for Ten Hag to handle, so he pushed him out. That's not good leadership

In short, Ten Hag is in too deep. He doesn't know how to deal with difficult people or put together a winning team. Manchester United should have more

The season has just started, and we still have lots of games to play. We shouldn't judge the competence of a coach by a single game. I know that the Community Shield is an important match but they lost to a better side. For Onana, I was also disappointed by his performance, especially in the penalties. He was practically diving before the ball came in all the penalties. But he is not a bad goalkeeper if the team has a good defense. Mount is a shadow of himself and needs to improve or be benched.

He handled Ronaldo's issues badly, but the striker also has a history of having problems with coaches. The coach has the backing of the management, so we have to be patient. Don't also forget that Ten Hag gave us a trophy last season, he can do better this season.

Currently several clubs have improved their squads in the transfer market, in England we see that Chelsea is the team that is most active in bringing in players in the current transfer market, in fact they are reportedly still targeting several more new players to get, but what is happening to Chelsea is actually In contrast to Liverpool, Liverpool have only been rumored to recruit several players so far but in fact they haven't managed to get a single player at the moment, but in my opinion, with the remaining two weeks of course maybe we will continue to see surprises happening in the transfer market will be later, because two weeks can be said to be enough time for Liverpool to recruit new players, but although Liverpool have not yet brought in any new players, their progress in the current pre-season matches is quite perfect without being defeated,  and  contrast with Chelsea which actually experienced a lot of negative trends in pre-season matches.
At the moment and actually makes me think that Liverpool will still be able to compete next season even without recruiting new players.

I'm not feeling good about how ATM isn’t pushing Samu to be moved but willing to push Felix to leave from there. ATM seems to have lured us in with Samu, and they planned for him to reject the offer from us. Then, they offered us Felix instead as a replacement for Samu. They knew Conor had already agreed to join with them. They wanted to make us look bad for holding the deal up with the hope we'll agree to buy unwanted talent like Felix.

And if Chelsea is gonna fall into this ATM's trap, we will look so stupid. I totally disagreed with bringing Felix back to this club. Conor brings much more to the squad than Felix did last seasons.

[armanda90]

Injury problems are like a scourge that always haunts Man United, and because of that problem what made them so struggle in the Premier League last season. The new season hasn't started yet but, Man United has already found several of its players injured. Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund, and last but not least Luke Shaw. The arrival of De Ligt and Mazraoui is definitely a breath of fresh air for Man United, at least their defensive line wasn't in tatters to start the season.

To be honest, I really hope Man United will get a new defensive midfielder soon because that is also the position that was Man United's weak point last season. Though Casemiro played quite impressively in the FA Community Shield but I doubt if he can play consistently throughout the season.

Manchester United have back up for Leny Yoro injured by signing Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich and he will be ready for the first match against Fulham, I think weakness position of Manchester United on attacking line after Rasmus Højlund injuring not any new sign by Erik ten Hag as striker position. Manchester United signed two players recently Matthijs de Ligt and Mazraoui from Bayern Munich but their position as defender and Manchester United problem with attacking line position.

Current performance of Marcus Rashford at FA Community Shield, I don't sure he can plays well in Premier League and help United can scoring many goals as possibilities. Has possibility with current tactician, Manchester United will play with nine false position by moving up Bruno Fernandez as attacking line and its now really effective yet.

Lukaku is needed by Napoli and vice versa Chelsea needs Oshimen so the exchange of both will be the right choice for each club.

The transfer news that has not yet found an agreement between Napoli and Chelsea regarding two players that they both want, there is too much drama on display. Who knows where the problem lies, and it would be very unfortunate for the careers of the two players, namely Lukaku and Osimhen, if they do not find a way to reach an agreement. They are not needed in the scheme that will be run by the two coaches, so a mutually beneficial exchange is needed for both parties. Is this Napoli's tactic to buy time?

Another thing, Napoli is exaggerating this player with a high price tag in my opinion that is excessive, Chelsea will not spend that much money, especially this summer as you said they have spent a lot of money to buy young players whose performance I think is not clear.

Still Liverpool have signed nobody, I still hope we bring a couple of players in but for now the most important thing is to win against Ipswich tomorrow.

Initially I thought Martin Zubimendi would be the only recruit for Liverpool and I think he is very suitable for a big team like Liverpool. But unfortunately Real Sociedad did not let him go and had to pay his own clause if he still wanted to join Liverpool. It feels unfair when there are players who want to improve their careers at a higher level but have to be tarnished by unreasonable club decisions.

Hope and opportunities are still there for Liverpool and with Arne Slot I honestly like how this team is developing for the better. It's just that he is also a coach in general who needs better squad depth to support his strategy on the field. I am also curious why no players want to join Liverpool who offer to play in the champions league and even their rivals, Manchester United who play in the European league, many players prefer to join them.

[m4r1o]

Although doing the exchange Napoli still gets benefits if the price of Lukaku is reduced with the price agreement between the two clubs with this can also reduce...

Yes, for me too, Napoli exaggerated with the price, after all they are Neapolitans, they want to scam others: this doesn't surprise me at all.

[mamesso]

The possibility of a trade is of course the best option for both teams, but will Osimhen want it? Maybe he will prefer to stay in Napoli for another year instead of playing for Chelsea, who will not play in the UCL. Napoli has a very good history and with the right tactics they have a chance to win the Scudetto again. Conte may want to keep Osimhen in the team and want to win the championship. I know everyone is expecting this transfer to happen, but it may not happen.

Napoli began to open their eyes and see what PSG had just experienced due to Mbappe departure, before the same incident did happen, Napoli tried hard to get some money before Osimhen contract expired. Chelsea may be the club Osimhen doesn't want to join, but if an agreement has been reached between the two clubs, he has to accept whatever the reality is. Chelsea would certainly be very happy if this deal happens because they have been very keen to release Lukaku. Napoli's interest in Lukaku will certainly not be wasted by Chelsea, if this transfer happens then both clubs will benefit each other.

Two weeks is a lot of time for clubs to compete their deals and also start negotiations with their targets. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle United Manchester City are still in the market trying to complete this deals.

Liverpool are yet to bring in a player. The recent negotiation with the Real Sociedad Midfielder, Zubimendi didn’t materialize. I know really know the story behind it but I believe they have other options and it’ll be wise they bring in some reinforcements before the deadline day.

Arsenal also haven’t gotten the deal of the Spanish midfielder, Merino done with. It seems they need to balance the books before they can make another signing.
