⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[legendbtc]

With utmost respect, who the hell is Ivan Juric?    I'm hearing about his name for the first time in my life. It didn't take me too much time to do a quick research. I didn't find any achievement of him. He has been a manager in Italy for years. That's all I know. He managed teams like Torino, Genoa and so on. Not any big Serie A team history...

I know I'm getting prejudiced but for now he is not more than a dark horse. Therefore yeah, I also think this is a big downgrade for Roma after Mourinho and De Rossi on paper. I wish he proves me wrong...

Well, are you kidding Ivan Juric and Roma?
Coming to AS Roma, the pressure will weigh heavily on the 49-year-old coach's shoulders. Ivan Juric has never managed an elite club until today, but in Italian football, he has been highly regarded having led Hellas Verona and Torino for several seasons. I know Ivan Juric's job will not be easy. Except to bring confidence to the team and the fans. His biggest challenge now is to bring Roma back to the top of Serie A and Europe. Ivan Juric's immediate task is to build a team that can regain the stability that was lacking in the early stages of the season. Ivan Juric's experience will play a vital role in achieving these goals.

You and I will wait and see if Ivan Juric is really talented, then Roma will be the right one in this story.

He might not have handled a top-flight team but he has been an assistant to Gian Piero Gasperini at Inter Milan and Palermo. His wealth of experience in the Seria A will be helpful. Ivan Juric have worked with clubs with low budget and has managed to make some impact. His appointment to a club like Roma which has the money and good players might bring out the best in him. He has all the time to bring back Roma to its winning ways since the league is just starting.

I never expected the Croatian coach to be appointed as a coach because there are many other quality coaches in the market. Thomas Tuchel and Massimiliano Allegri would have been my best choices. Roma lost some of its players especially, strikers in the transfer window. So the coach's main task will be how to unite the players, boost their morale and maximize their potential.

I'm not joking, but Roma is just getting worse day by day. They have successfully downgraded from Mourinho to DDR then Juric.

I don't get the point of spending 150 million in the summer window if Roma sacked DDR. Their goal is to qualify for next year's Champions League. But they signed a guy who never coached a top team or played in European competition, and he has a terrible ppm.

Has Roma changed its target from getting a UCL spot to avoiding relegation with Juric?

What a terrible club.

Actually, Roma has many options to recruit other better coaches at this time, but for some reason their choice falls on Ivan Juric, of course we don't know about Roma policy in appointing coaches so far, but in my opinion is too ambiguous and often unreasonable except when they recruit Mourinho who does have a lot of experience in coaching,  Roma this season have spent a lot of money in the transfer market but they don't have the patience to see Rossi job longer in the team, the performance in 4 games is either worthy of the dismissal or maybe the dismissal has the same reason when they sacked Mourinho earlier for a dispute with the club's owner?

I think the reason for Rossi's dismissal may still have ambiguity and after spending a lot of money in the transfer market, of course it would be strange if they didn't give Rossi more time in coaching, but regardless of the reason for the dismissal, what is certain is that at the moment Ivan Jurig has a heavy burden that he has to face at Roma, Ivan Juric has a long history in his coaching in handle of mid-table teams,  So it's hard to say if he'll be able to bring a lot of changes to the current Roma squad, especially when they must to play in European competitions later, but even so it's better for us to see his work with Roma including what he can do when he faces Udinese at the weekend.

It appears that Roma has hired a coach from Croatia, Ivan Juric, who has an experience with Torino in the previous season and left them this summer without being hired by any club until now.
That's a fresh news that I found in news just few minutes ago and i was quite curious why Roma didn't announce that just when they fired De Rossi which didn't spend enough time with the club in my opinion but unfortunately his record was not that good this season..

That's right, AS Roma has officially appointed Ivan Juric as De Rossi's successor, actually De Rossi dismissal surprised me, we know their travel statistics at the beginning of this season were very bad. Fans expectations of De Rossi were previously quite high when he took over from Mourinho, he was considered to have made AS Roma develop for the better. Ivan Juric will be contracted until the end of the season, if he succeeds in presenting a ticket to the Champions League, reportedly his contract will be extended. I assume De Rossi dismissal will not have an instant impact, they will need a longer adaptation period to start it again.

A lot of questions are being asked around this subject and I don't see answers.
In general, sacking a coach that has less than a year with a team is something ridiculous. Worse, sacking the coach who played almost half the previous season and started the new one in less than a month.
There is no real strategy tested by the club. Few upsetting games made them took a fast decision and I hope at least the new coach will not fail after few rounds of adaptation and eventually defeats..

When we hear a name that we rarely hear, we will do research on the name, about which clubs he has handled and what achievements he has made. It is very natural when we doubt the current AS Roma coach, we also have strong reasons to say so. The statistics he created during his career as a coach will certainly be one of the considerations for us to say whether this is a good coach or not. AS Roma made a very quick decision even though it was only in 4 matches, but that was not the problem, but the appointment of the coach that they made that finally raised questions. But I still hope that what we think will not happen and AS Roma can be much better.

The Osimhen transfer will be talked about for years to come. I don't know if he will stay at Galatasaray for 1 year or 6 months. But I know very well that the Nigerian superstar will be talked about for years to come. That's why I'm most happy. I expect him to have an impact like Hagi and Jardel who played for Galatasaray before. Next week in the Turkish league, Galatasaray will play the Fenerbahçe derby. The footballers who score in this derby in the Turkish league will be known as real Galatasaray or real Fenerbahçe players. If Osimhen scores a goal in this match, it won't matter how many years he stayed at Galatasaray among the fans.

Osimhen transfer is no longer as interesting as when his name lifted the trophy with Napoli last season, now his transfer is just a solution to the uncertainty of European clubs regarding Osimhen quality who is considered a Napoli outcast. This is the real situation between Osimhen and next season transfer. You need to know that when he was in his prime, refusing to leave was a bad decision for many clubs that he ignored. So it's time to stop making a big deal about Osimhen departure in the next season window. I don't pay much attention to the Turkish League and most of us pay attention to Turkish clubs when they are in the Champions League. Osimhen can definitely give them a UCL ticket next season but they won't have Osimhen after that. 

Even if Osimhen stays for a single season, he will make great contributions to the team. A player like him does not transfer to the Turkish league. Even him playing in Turkey on loan for a year is a great success and yes, I think his one-year period at Galatasaray will be enough to get a Champions League ticket. Of course, this is valid if he does not transfer and leave the team during the mid-season because there was talk that he would leave the team during the mid-season transfer period.

Joao Felix isn't a bad player, he just had some terrible luck when it comes to playing at places that fit him, I think he was fine for Barcelona and he did alright, after all Barcelona wasn't that great last season and that means he was a good player of a bad team and that wasn't really a bad thing.

I do expect him to do fine at Chelsea, didn't really expected Chelsea to spend this much money again to get him, they have a lot of players and that's a bit of an unlucky situation for Felix once again, it's really not that good and I believe that we are going to see him not do that well and we could be seeing that not because he is a bad player but because there are many talents at Chelsea, they have like 40+ players and that is why Felix may not get the chance that he wants and this could result with him not having a good season. When a team has few options, they can wait patiently until a player gets his groove back, but when they have many options they would just end up trying another player.

Anthony Martial was officially recruited by AEK Athens, a club from Greece, after his service ended on July 1 and has had a career in the Premier League for 9 years with the Red Devils and scored 90 goals from 317 appearances.
The 29-year-old player will start this season by defending AEK Athens in the highest caste of the Greek League.
Hopefully with his new club he can find his best performance and also win the domestic league trophy this season.

Joao Felix is potential player but have fallen out of favors in the eyes of these managers. First Diego Simeone dropped him from his starting XI in Estadio Civitas Metropolitano and the Portugal International triggered a loan move to Barcelona where he couldn't explore his potentials. I would say he's rather found unlucky with the managers he worked with and this time, moving to Chelsea. Joao Felix should take crucial measures to ensure he's on the right track. The Blues have the presence of vast quality players. Chelsea have specified spots for these players and Joao Felix is key project under Enzo Maresca administration. Felix is a promising player, he exhibits potentials and having good records towards his football career.

Now they have onboard Fabio as their new coach but I can't seem to find any good portfolio on his profile, no any European trophy on his profile and this is the man they think is way better than De Rossi legacy. This is the same mistake they made by sacking Jose Mourinho and they are making another one again. From hot pot to frying pan, this season is going to be a long drama.

What's most annoying is that they could have thought things through much better during their break when they came in, they had plenty of time to think about all these changes, now they make coaching changes when they shouldn't have, because it's another period of adaptation, another direction, the players can present inconsistencies, the coach doesn't know the players' abilities very well, it's something that's very bad, well, one sees it from that point of view , but if I agree with what Roma had planned previously, then they will have other plans that we don't even know about.

[Pokapoka124]

“AS Roma announces that Daniele De Rossi has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team.
The club's decision is made in the best interests of the team, to get back on the desired path as soon as possible at a time when the season is still in its early stages.” https://www.asroma.com/en/news/71904/club-statement

The love for De Rossi from Roma's bosses did not last long and as a result of a bad start to the season, after 4 games Roma have only 3 points, but the strangest thing for me is not the news that De Rossi will not do well, it was clear after Mourinho's dismissal, because it became clear that the Roma management has little idea of the club's capabilities.
It's also not clear why De Rossi's 90 million transfers were made and then he was sacked after only 4 games. Again strange behavior of the Roma management.
What about Roma players like Dovbic who trusted De Rossi and joined the club or players like Dybala who didn't go to Saudi Arabia but decided to stay at Roma?

It’s a shame De Rossi will not continue as the head coach of Roma after recording poor performances and results this season. I am sure the management must have realised that it is not an easy task to keep the current team on a high level like Mourinho did in his time. It will even go worse when these players who joined because of the trust they had for Mourinho decide to move in similar fashion as Tammy Abraham.

AS Roma may not be satisfied with the results for 4 matches they are afraid that it is approaching the relegation zone even though this is still too far away to see the remaining matches, but now the decision has been made then De Rossi must accept the fact that he was fired and is no longer useful for AS Roma.

By bringing in a coach is also not something good, not necessarily able to adapt to the players and see the character,
What is clear is that this has become their management decision, it's just a little unfortunate why the dismissal was so fast than I thought.

[Leviathan.007]

Italy Serie A is very competitive. Managers are under a lot of pressure and some have already been fired this season. AS Roma decision to fire Daniele De Rossi is questionable. Roma did not start season well so maybe management had reason to act. But De Rossi is legend, and it is surprising they fired him so soon. Roma next game against Udinese is crucial. They need to play well but there is a lot of pressure. Italy league is tough and demanding. So let's see what the Roma will do in their next matches.

After going through four less than satisfactory matches and losing against Empoli De Rossi was officially sacked by AS Roma. If you look at AS Roma's performance it was not too bad and they only drew and only lost once but the management did not consider anything even though the match had only entered the fourth match. Now looking for another coach will not necessarily be able to provide better and maybe the new coach must try to adapt to the team.

Serie-A is indeed quite competitive and a little mistake can make a coach lose his job and now AS Roma must find a coach. Rudi Garcia and Lampard are rumored to replace De Rossi and maybe these two coaches will be considered as the right replacements.

The whole management system in Roma is confused and broken. They have no idea about what they have to do right now. The only thing Roma could do was to get the coach fired once they saw the coach of this team got a bad result and that is why they fired De Rossi while he was a good coach and even after he joined this team he started trying to get Roma improved and he was successful because the fans and the players of Roma liked to see De Rossi in this team.
Now they use Ivan Jurić while this Croatian coach is not as famous as De Rossi.

What is clear is that this has become their management decision, it's just a little unfortunate why the dismissal was so fast than I thought.

It's very unprofessional of As Roma but if that was stated in the contract between De Rossi and As Roma, then we have no obligation to judge into their matter. It was strictly professional as he never met their expectations. Having no wins in 5 games can be scary especially for anyone especially when they finished in the 6th place last season but the question is what could have gone wrong to play 5 matches as the season begin and yet they couldn't win a single match even the friendly one.

I noticed that AS Roma sold a lot of players, it's possible they have sold and loan most of their key players and they are blaming innocent man that can't do much. Mourihno will be in corner laughing and enjoying his time now,  he did a lot of As Roma and he was dismissed, even De Rossi is nothing new as they sack him.

I don't pay much attention to the Turkish League and most of us pay attention to Turkish clubs when they are in the Champions League. Osimhen can definitely give them a UCL ticket next season but they won't have Osimhen after that. 

This happened due to the considerable confidence of Napoli who wanted to get a big profit from Osimhen's transfer even though this was quite reasonable because Napoli previously brought Osimhen also at a high price so they wanted to apply the same for his expenditure clause this season which actually backfired on Napoli themselves.

I think Osimhen's transfer will still be quite interesting in the middle of the season or at least next season but by looking at the current conditions I still think that Napoli must swallow disappointment because it is clear that with the current drama, it is certain that Osimhen's price next season will decrease even maybe a little more drastically because it is still very profitable if next season Osimhen still costs around 100 million considering the drama and hot situation that occurred at this time. The highest possible price is 100 million and could even be less than that price later.

I don't think he will find the same environment in La Liga that he found in the Premier League. La Liga is more advantageous than the Premier League in many aspects. I don't think he can show the performance he showed at Barcelona. I don't think his previous Chelsea adventure was very bright either. Chelsea have made some interesting transfers recently. Joao Felix will go down as one of them. Also, Chelsea started this season well, but they might return to their old chaotic days at any moment. Even Haaland would flounder in such a team...

Due to the financial crisis, Barcelona could not make Joao Felix status permanent. Back at Atletico, Diego Simeone was reluctant to rely on him, the past conflict between the two made the Portuguese international player feel uncomfortable. Chelsea is an option to save his career, although it is considered a bad choice for now, in my opinion Enzo Maresca group has the potential to win the Premier League trophy. In fact, in my opinion, it is more reliable than Arsenal and Manchester United in breaking Manchester City dominance. In the last decade, Chelsea has won 2 trophies, Liverpool 1, Leicester 1, the rest are secured by Pep Guardiola squad. Maybe that's a little fact about Chelsea, which must be admitted that they are indeed in chaos at this time, but it would be unfair to judge a move to Stamford Bridge as a bad choice for every player like Felix.

[Coyster]

Hopefully with his new club he can find his best performance and also win the domestic league trophy this season.

Not what we had hoped for him when he burst onto the scene for United years ago, we thought he was going to finish as a United legend or that even if he left, it would be to a bigger club, but i guess we can say things didn't go to plan for Martial.

Having said that, he is better off in a team that he would be constantly playing, game time is very important for every player, so if you are not getting it in your current club, like Martial wasn't in United, best decision you can take is to leave.

Martial has been having a hard time lately, after his contract ended I thought he would go to Brazil to strengthen Flamengo but the negotiations failed, and now he has landed in the Greek team AEK, I think he has landed perfectly there to make it stable again so he can return to a more competitive league, the player who once received the title of the best young player in recent years has now faded due to the injury he suffered while at United and he had to be crossed out from the list of names of Eric the head coach of Man United. Now he has to find his identity again there I pray the best for him and he deserves respect from Man United after what he has given while wearing the Man United uniform, AEK is also a strong club in Greece I think he will adapt well there for his future development a talented player and has great skills like him should get a better place than now.

Injuries have affected Martial's career so he hasn't been able to improve and the competition within the team has been greater with the arrival of new players.
He was an important player when he first came to Manchester United but a change of manager, injuries and competition between players made it difficult for him to develop at Manchester United.

Having said that, he is better off in a team that he would be constantly playing, game time is very important for every player, so if you are not getting it in your current club, like Martial wasn't in United, best decision you can take is to leave.

If a player is not in the manager's plans then it is better to leave the club and look for another team to get game time.
But the problem is sometimes the club's interest in the player and if there is no serious offer it will make it difficult for him to find another club.
I agree and it would be better for Matrial to look for another club so he can play regularly to improve his performance.
