⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[lizarder]

Ramsdale has gone to Southampton and that's why Arsenal have prepared a new goalkeeper as his replacement. Surely Mikel Arteta doesn't want to rely only on David Raya this season and therefore he must immediately lock in a deal with the Espanyol goalkeeper before today's deadline ends.

Regarding competition in a team, it is a natural thing and when Ramsdale chose to leave, he already knew what would happen if he continued to be on the bench. Ramsdale is a good goalkeeper but Mikel Arteta is very strict about his player selection. I think with the fee that Espanyol wants, Arsenal can still do it and actually it is not a big fee.

In the last match against Aston Villa Ramsdale was still in the substitute line-up and I haven't seen any news that he has officially become a Southampton player or maybe I missed something about his future. David Raya is Mikel Arteta's mainstay so Ramsdale doesn't get a place in the team and staying without playing time will affect his performance and of course he'd rather move to another club than stay at Arsenal.

But if you look closely, both goalkeepers have the same level of weakness where both make blunders, but David Raya's advantage is that he is better able to guard the goal area more safely than Ramsdale and maybe that's why Mikel Arteta prefers David Raya to be the main goalkeeper.

Man, I still can't believe this, how is it possible that after a great season on loan at Real Madrid, Kepa has now joined Bournemouth.

An unusual career decline chosen by Kepa but it seems he also has no other choice but to join the mediocre EPL team and maybe he has also resigned himself to the current situation at Chelsea. Actually Kepa still hopes that Real Madrid will sign him again but considering Lunin's departure has not happened until now then his chances of returning to Los Blancos are gone.

With this at least Kepa will be Bournemouth's main mainstay for the goalkeeper position and that will help Bournemouth secure their goal from conceding many goals, especially if we remember Kepa is one of the goalkeepers with good reflexes.

Real Madrid already solid with Courtois and Lunin, so they currently don't need third goalkeeper.

Yeah Kepa has no option, so he choose to join mediocre team. Honestly it's quite dangerous to join Bournemouth because this team isn't completely safe in Premier League, they were relegated in the last 2 years, so there's a chance they might relegated to Championship.

Kepa need to play all out.

Courtois and Lunin make a strong keeping team for Real Madrid. No arguments there. But Kepa's situation? Man, that's quite messy. Kepa was scheduled to be Lunin's backup, until Lunin considered quitting. But Lunin stayed, and Kepa's left hanging. He wants to play, not heat the bench. So, back to Chelsea he goes.  Eight kepters at Chelsea? That's a horrible circus. Kepa's fighting for minutes is hard. There is a risk in Bournemouth. They are candidates for relegation. For Kepa, though, it presents an opportunity to shine. He must demonstrate his starting-caliber keeping

Bigger clubs will call if he balls out. In case he fails? Well, that is a career killer. Kepa's make-or-break moment is this one. No pressure, right?

But if you look closely, both goalkeepers have the same level of weakness where both make blunders, but David Raya's advantage is that he is better able to guard the goal area more safely than Ramsdale and maybe that's why Mikel Arteta prefers David Raya to be the main goalkeeper.

Ramsdale was previously the main goalkeeper of Arsenal and was able to break through the main line up when he was just recruited from Sheffield United and could replace the position previously occupied by Bernard Leno, but slowly he actually lost his consistency in playing and often made blunders that made him finally lose his place after David Raya came, if he continues to be at Arsenal then it seems that it will only make his career dim after David Raya distant performance consistent at the moment in guarding the Arsenal goal, currently Southampton  is the likely to sign him and reportedly both parties now only need to complete a few paperwork to complete his move.

Arsenal actually have another backup goalkeeper, namely Karl Hein but they are also loaning him to Real Valladolid at the moment so to maximize the goalkeeper position , of course Arsenal are currently starting to try to bring in Joan Garcia from espanyol, but it seems that Arsenal and espanyol still have not found an agreement for Joan Garcia price, espanyol is still holding on for 30 million euros while Arsenal is offering 25 million euros to complete the deal so It looks like we won't see the transfer happen anytime soon.

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal have submitted about £17m to Espanyol for their Goalkeeper Garcia. He’s likely the replacement for outgoing Aaron Ramsdale.

I think it is a good move. Raya can't be in goal in all competitions this season. A competent 2nd  choice is needed for emergency sake,
Injury, suspension, illness, family emergencies.

Being a second choice does not translate to playing any guaranteed match, but if there is need, Arteta will make available. And of course nobody will expect a highly rated keeper for that role since Arteta’s used to not changing his Goalkeeper, Raya.

They won the Golden Glove award last season because Arteta was bold enough to buy Raya and drop Ramsdale.
If this new goalkeeper will bring more steel and competition for Raya i don't have an issue, especially since it's Arteta requesting for such. I'm not with them in training so maybe he has seen something with Raya we don't know about. If Arteta wants him then I have no issue.

Do you think the newly signed Espanyol goalkeeper by Arsenal stand any chances of first team selection? Absolutely no I think he can only Man the post in Carabao or FA Cup because Raya had been very brilliant and solid on the post  thus wanted to retain his best goalkeeper position in the league by keeping as many clean sheets as possible in premier league and UCL meanwhile unfortunately Ramsdale best choice is to leave for his new club where a regular playing time would be guaranteed atleast to be selected for England national team duties when keeping for a top club like Arsenal you have to be at your best because of highly competiveness in the team.

Of course Raya is a good goal keeper, we all saw how he handled things last season. He won the golden gloves in his first season at Arsenal. Every coach will be happy to have such a goal keeper at his disposal. Irrespective of whatever coach that comes in Arteta will keep Raya as his first choice goal keeper. Raya managed to rise to the first choice goal keeper at the expense of Aaron Ramsdale who is considered as one of England best goal keepers currently. Any goalkeeper coming to Arsenal at this point should just be ready to accept the position of a backup goalkeeper. It would have been best if Arsenal had kept Aaron Ramsdale, but a keeper of his capacity won't want to continue being a second choice goalkeeper, I understand his situation very well.

Arteta is very fortunate to have a top goalkeeper in his squad, Raya's ability is beyond doubt and Arteta is very satisfied with his performance so that he makes him the main goalkeeper in the team. Arsenal has slowly improved, especially after taking advantage of the transfer market to bring in new players. Arteta doesn't need to worry if he is injured because Aaron Ramsdale also has very good quality.

Arteta needs to utilize the abilities of both in different competitions, he must rotate to give both of them regular playing time. If Raya is relied upon in the EPL, then Aaron Ramsdale can be played in the FA Cup or Community Shield. Currently there is no slot for a new goalkeeper because it is very difficult to compete with them, if Arsenal want to get a new player, they must maintain a more solid defense and the front line also needs a player who has a very high goal-scoring instinct.

Ugarte deal is certainly a good one for United, there is no doubt that he will be very good for them, I think it's clear that they needed someone that can replace Casemiro and been trying a few names there so far, but they finally got the one they wanted. Amrabat has been on the transfer list for a while, but they were looking for a lot of money since they didn't had anyone else, now that they have Ugarte, I guess that Amrabat has one foot out the door, I have no idea who they will sell him to, but I am sure he is too much for the squad.

Interestingly, not everyone is like Chelsea, keep buying players and not sell them and just balloon up the size of the team, most teams like United, buy a player, and then try to sell another one to make room. That is why I feel like Amrabat is gone, and as soon as Hojlund and Yoro makes a come back, I am sure that United will be much better than people expect, they just had a very unlucky start, but they will be fine.

Not just someone that can replace Casemiro, but also someone who can break down counter attacks from oppositions. Casemiro us good but he's got no much energy and strength same way he did with Real Madrid or the way he did during his first season with Manchester United. The Manuel Ugarte move had been long anticipated. Sofyan Amrabat was great last season no doubts but I don't think I'd want to see him joining Manchester United again. I'd rather the move for Rabbiot right now, with Mason Mount reported to be Injured and out for a couple weeks Manchester United need another signing in. Scott MC Tominay has also been reported to be the newest Napoli player. I do think that fir depth, quality and energy, Manchester United has to bring in a new midfielder'.
In football, it's now how well you started but how far you can go with the club and also in the Premier League Competition which is already a tough league to thrive.
They'll be back in training with the club and Manchester United manager will have enough squad depth for him to pick up a strong selection.

[ajiz138]

Liverpool buying Federico Chiesa for 10 million seems like a risky transfer, because Chiesa got thru a heavy injury 3 years ago and he is not the player he used to be. He might get injured again. I guess that Arne Slot is signing Chiesa as a substitute player, who will replace other players every now and then. I don't know if Salah is going t leave Liverpool. Maybe he will stay for another season.

Chiesa is a bargain signing of the century. He played 37 times last season, got a lot of goals and assists even when he playing in a bad system of Juventus. But yeah, his injury is the main problem, but if he stays fit this season, we've got a £50m player with only £10m.

Still can't really believe how cheap this deal is. I never expected him to join us with very low price like that. So much potential upside with almost no downside from this signing. I have nothing to complain with this deal. Really excited to see what he can do back in our attacking side. Excellent signing by Liverpool, congrats

Rumored to other clubs coming so fast to Liverpool, I think Chiesa is not so bad even though he is often injured maybe he can compensate with his fitness, it could be that in Liverpool he gets better and rarely gets injured, we don't know the future situation.

£10 million is a cheap price for Chiesea, even Liverpool can make a high profit if his performance at Liverpool is much better than Juventus, it could be that other teams will look at Chiesa again, it is not impossible if such a scenario?

Now it remains how Arne Slot takes a stand on whether he will play with a lot of time or not.

Spending an entire season with Spanish and European champions does necessarily mean that Kepa Arrizabalaga will be signed to the Real Madrid club. He came back to Chelsea and saw that Robert Sanchez is now the club's first choice goalkeeper so he has no other option than to leave the club if he truly wants to get playing time. What I don't know now is if Bournemouth manager will make him the club's first choice goalkeeper but if he can achieve that, then I think it'll be a good move for Kepa.

Apparently Chesley just wants to reduce their wage bill, and Real are not ready to pay a big salary for a non-main goalkeeper, because now Real have Courtois and reserve Lunin, so Real will quietly do without Kepa. In addition, last season Kepa played only 14 games for Real and it is not very much, considering that at one time Chelsea bought him for 80 million dollars, so apparently Kepa really had no choice and he left where they agreed to pay him a good salary.
Besides, Bournemouth didn't perform so badly last season and this is a serious strengthening for Bournemouth.

Yea it's quite true that Chelsea want to reduce not just their wage bill but also their squad size,  but the major problem here is that Todd Boehly is still trying to bring in more player into the team, without even thinking that they have actually not offloaded the unwanted players at Chelsea right now, and to me, he is the major problem Chelsea are currently facing right now.

There's so much interference from Todd. Since he took over the club from Roman Abrahimovic, because he has money, he just behaves like a spoilt child in a candy shop, by signing any available player in the market without even considering what the team needs, which is very bad for the progress of the club.

Then as for the move of kepa, I think it's a good move, because he needs that playing time more than ever, to burst his confidence back to his required level.

[Ayers]

Have you seen this? Chelsea is topping this table with 10 players. They are trying their best to make the longest contracts with their players. Palmer has just extended his for example. I hope they don't do this with all of their players. 
Because the number of players is excessive now. There must be around 40 players. What will they do with this many players?    The Premier League allows 25 players to be registered, it must be the same for the Champions League too. Then so many players are staying out...

The logic is simple, no matter how much they pay for these players, if they sign a long contract, they do not have to put it on the paper all together. Meaning, if they pay 100 million for a player, but sign him for 10 years, that means 10 million a year on their paper, not 100 all together. Which opens up a huge door for them and they are making a lot better results as well, this is why I think it's clear that we are going to end up seeing them do very well.
It needs to be considered very important for them, it is going to be really really tough. I am not sure if it can be done any other way, I do not know if they can keep this up, every year they need to sell a few players to cover all this debt, and that's how they sell a few and then get many.

I think giving long contracts to many players are actually not a very good idea. Because if it does not work out, and if the players are not in very good condition and not giving a good performance, it is going to be a problem for them. Let’s just say that a player that they have given a very big contract, gets injured, it is going to be a big problem for them to sell that and they are also not going to get good or any kind of performance out of them. Actually, everything has a good and a bad side. And every club should be careful about giving out big contracts to every player. Because not everyone deserves it.

It would have been best if Arsenal had kept Aaron Ramsdale, but a keeper of his capacity won't want to continue being a second choice goalkeeper, I understand his situation very well.

If Espanyol can accept the €17m fee from Arsenal, then it’ll be a good deal. Because there’s no need to get an expensive keeper as backup keeper.
They have spent too much money on goalkeepers since Arteta took charge.

Imo, smart thing to do as Ramsdale is leaving is to find those Dubravska or Scezesny level Goalkeepers that are very comfortable with being second choice, to just do the job. 

Spending almost €20m on a Goalkeeper when we know he’s gonna play a handful of games all season is not worth it. With the way Arteta sticks to his No.1 Goalkeeper (Raya) will definitely make a good backup want to leave anyway after one season of not securing number 1.

His previous ACL makes it a little difficult for him to return to his prime which makes this a possible consideration in terms of price. But seriously this is a very cheap price for a Chiesa despite having an injury history that is not very good but if they dare to spend 10 million for a Chiesa this is still worth it.

But on the other hand this depends on the needs in the end even though he is cheap but when Slot does not need his services and is not suitable for the future plans of Slot then what to force moreover in Liverpool also now still has a pretty good attacking midfielder so when Chiesa is not really needed then it is better to maximize the current players.

Slot still has more consideration it seems to bring in players at this time because indeed the squad he has now is still more than enough to navigate the season at least until mid-season before the winter transfer begins.

I'd prefer to sell Kepa instead of seeing him stay, but loaning him is not that bad too. Also, it's reported that he agreed a wage cut for the contract extension and Bournemouth move. I have nothing to complain about this move.

But it's not only him; we have another Chelsea goalkeeper loaned to another club.



It's reported that Petrovic is joining Strasbourg as a new goalkeeper. No doubt that Petro is being sent there to Chelsea's sister team.

I guess that Arne Slot is signing Chiesa as a substitute player, who will replace other players every now and then. I don't know if Salah is going t leave Liverpool. Maybe he will stay for another season.

In fact in this transfer Liverpool have 50-50 possibilities. If Liverpool have gotten lucky and Federico Chiesa shows his best and didn't get injured soon. So I think it will be one of the best transfers in this transfer window. In other words, in the history of Liverpool, such a top class player will not have been found at such a cheap price. Because Federico Chiesa's drubbing, peace and goal scoring are unparalleled. From which Liverpool can get enough upgradeness. 
 
But unfortunately there is another side to this transfer if Federico Chiesa is still facing frequent injuries like before. So I think this could be the worst transfer for Liverpool. But anyway let's see what happens next, Will this transfer be good or bad for Liverpool.

Chiesa is player Juventus wants to dispose because the new coach said he is not part of his plans so instead of him to sit at the bench and depreciate in value they decided to make some cash from his sale. Some factors contributed to his price being low and one of them is the fact that he is an injury prone player and this is well known to many and there is every probability of him getting injured this season. No doubt it was a good bargain by Liverpool and he will surely be of use to them. If He was to be important to juventus they wouldn’t have agreed to such low price but they only wanted to offload him.

As an Arsenal fan, I wanted the team to keep Aron Ramsdel because he is good and he is reliable, but I understand that he is also a world-class goalkeeper that cannot stay in the bench for his football carer, so he need playing time which my coach Arteta didn't guarantee him and that is the reason he left the team.

This one too cannot have enough playing time because the Arsenal aim of winning title will never allow the coach to be gven chances for any player he is not sure of, so I will be expecting Arsenal to add some money if what they have already submited is been rejected.

[Asiska02]

Chiesa to Liverpool isn't really that small business or news, it's a big deal and I think it is going to be quite important for Liverpool, to get someone so good for such a cheap price. I think the fact that Chiesa wanted to leave played a big role on this and I feel like he forced their hand to sell him, which made his price drop, because I believe that he is at least a 30-40 million player without a doubt, not someone who should be sold for 15 million.

I also wonder what could have transpired between this two teams that made them to sell Chiesa to Liverpool for such a low price. He is not a player to be sold for that amount, or does he have some kind of injury we’re unaware of for them to slash his price this much? This bring a lot of thoughts and doubts about this player for being sold at this price. He is a great player though, I hope he’s able to perform well for Liverpool and bring good results to them because they need to see his contributions in the team because of how good he was in his former club. Good deal for Liverpool, we hope to see a big change in the club.

Rating the signing of Liverpool in the transfer summer, I think they can equalled to 6 because the club have absolutely no interest in players, rather they're bent on developing their academy team. Liverpool coach, Arne Slot needs more time and he eyed a solidable player and he went straight ahead to sign the Italian from Juventus. Federico Chiesa have been on the radar for the Reds and have succeeded in bringing him over. The former Juventus player is vulnerable to injuries which have completely made him decline totally in performance.

His previous ACL makes it a little difficult for him to return to his prime which makes this a possible consideration in terms of price. But seriously this is a very cheap price for a Chiesa despite having an injury history that is not very good but if they dare to spend 10 million for a Chiesa this is still worth it.

But on the other hand this depends on the needs in the end even though he is cheap but when Slot does not need his services and is not suitable for the future plans of Slot then what to force moreover in Liverpool also now still has a pretty good attacking midfielder so when Chiesa is not really needed then it is better to maximize the current players.

Slot still has more consideration it seems to bring in players at this time because indeed the squad he has now is still more than enough to navigate the season at least until mid-season before the winter transfer begins.

Although Liverpool brought in Chiesa at a low price, Chiesa gets the same salary as when he was at Juventus, which is around 4.2 million pounds per year or around 81 thousand pounds per week. Previously, he had received much more profitable offers from other teams, including Saudi Arabia, but he chose Liverpool because it was good for him.

However, the injury he suffered is classified as a feared injury or ACL injury that is most avoided by all players, especially young players, because it can make their careers fade. Many football players who experience ACL injuries ultimately cannot force themselves to continue playing football. Arne Slot certainly understands the player's condition, but it seems he took a risk by bringing him to Liverpool, Chiesa is indeed a good player but he will be prone to injury. Or maybe Arne Slot came as a substitute, we'll see how Chiesa performs at Liverpool. His presence at Liverpool will certainly make Liverpool's front line sharper and more dangerous for opponents.

[SatoPrincess]

There are a lot of uncertainties about Victor Osimhen transfer. It seems no club is focused on Victor Osimhen signature right now. Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli Saudi seems to be the only club who are serious about bidding for Osimhen. Victor Osimhen is only 25years old, he is too young to transition from Napoli which is a top club in the Serie A to the Saudi Pro League. Osimhen is in his prime and should not be concerned about making money at this time. His focus should be winning trophies and making a name for himself in football. People will forget his name if he moves to the Saudi Pro League. Chelsea wants to reduce Osimhen salary to £130,000 and Al-Ahli are offering a salary of £400,000 per week. I hope he makes the right decision.
