⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Spending money wisely wins you the league but most clubs aren't spending money wisely. Manchester United used money to win the league when they did in the past that no other clubs were able to compete with them. Chelsea came into the picture and did the same thing and won trophies after trophies. The next was Manchester city and they're still doing it and winning the premier league back to back. For Arsenal to be even competing with Manchester city for the title, they had to spend money wisely by acquiring players. You can't win without spending money. The reason teams like Brighton has been performing so well this season is as they spent money to buy players.

I agree with you that it is not only about signing players that guarantees you the league or winning anything. A clear example is when Madrid were signing the likes of Kaka, Ronaldo and the Likes of Özil but it didn’t work out because they didn’t win anything with that squad until they changed something’s. So yes I agree with you, that clubs can buy success if the players are signed rightly. But I wouldn’t say Manchester United bought success, because under Ferguson you wouldn’t see players been over bought or anything, moreover it is usually two or three non academy players you will see in the line up. This is because they played mostly with the academy players. Take look at the squad from 1999 to around 2007 it was majorly academy players.

The money tussle in the premier league started when Chelsea was acquired by Roman Abrahmovic and he went to spend close to 200 million and even brought Mourinho then who won the league back to back which started the rivalry and clubs started spending uptill now which brings premier league to been the highest spending league every transfer.

It seems that Man United has to suffer from the same problems as last season when many players faced injury issues, and now Maguire, who is a key player for ETH, has to deal with an injury.
So, will this be good news or bad news? IMO, it's time for Manchester United's management to address every issue, such as Maguire, who should actually be replaced due to his slightly older age. It would be better to recruit younger, more aggressive players who can make a significant contribution.

I don't want to believe that Manchester United's struggles at the moment is coming as a surprise to many of us. The club management saw everything that happened last season and didn't respond to their shortcomings the way they ought to. The injury-bound players in the team were allowed to remain while the always fit players were allowed to go. Harry Maguire's reported injury isn't a strong one as the England international is expected to come back in less than a month from now.

Speaking as a Manchester United fan, I never expected the team to get better this season because of the current squad, the management of United saw all the struggle in the team last season they still allowed some players that has little or nothing to offer for the club to remain in the club this shows that they are not ready for improvement. Speaking about the injury or Harry Maguire, he is not a problem of United because he has been part of the reasons why United couldn't get better because of his inconsistency, if he is coming back soon it won't change anything but seeing how Rashford is not doing well and he is still allowed in the team is something else.

Poor Man United, they are lack of many things, they are too complicated. the loss today from Tottenham, worsen the condition.
I think with Man United's condition not improving either, they will sack ten Hag, many speculations like that. Well, but this is one of ten Hag's answers

And again they still keep him. Yes, maybe there are many preferences for Man United to choose another coach, but it seems like they are still waiting for another big loss, haha

Spending money on a team doesn't equal to winning a title, that's not how it works. If you are in a league like France, then yeah it may work because PSG is the only one who can spend as much money as PSG does, and there is no opponent ,but this year even Brighton spent more than United, so its clear that spending money isn't a win at premier league.

Spending money wisely wins you the league but most clubs aren't spending money wisely. Manchester United used money to win the league when they did in the past that no other clubs were able to compete with them. Chelsea came into the picture and did the same thing and won trophies after trophies. The next was Manchester city and they're still doing it and winning the premier league back to back. For Arsenal to be even competing with Manchester city for the title, they had to spend money wisely by acquiring players. You can't win without spending money. The reason teams like Brighton has been performing so well this season is as they spent money to buy players.

The fact is that spending a lot of money to recruit players does not guarantee a club to be successful as you can see so far Brighton has not been fully consistent, Manchester United and Chelsea have also spent a lot of money they have not been able to compete in the title race, buying a lot of players is not the only best solution they also need to hone the abilities of their players to be more effective and the coach factor also has a big influence on team performance the foundation lies in the coach's strategy and the players only do what their coach says if the coach can't provide a good strategy it's useless for them to buy a lot of players they are just wasting money.

What? How could this happen? Manchester lost to Tottenham? How could this happen? This is just a nightmare. Am I dreaming? Everything is really bad in this world. I didn't think I'd ever see such a defeat. Yeah, if things continue like this, then Erik ten Hag needs to be replaced urgently.

As the situation shows, this was the worst game under his leadership. How many more failures can we see?

Meguire just gets a knock. He'll probably be fine to play in the upcoming game. No need to worry too much about him right now. He will be fine and back to our squad later.

However, it seems to me he's pretty injury-prone now. I hope i was wrong, but let's see if there will be another update from his injury soon. Hopefully, he will be fine next game.

Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣, bro take a deep breath and chill, this is just the beginning for all the Manchester united fan laughing at Chelsea last season, as if they were way better than Chelsea last season, right now Manchester united fan should just enjoy their rollercoaster ride that Eric ten hang is taking them on, it's their turn🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Can you imagine the confidence in his words, even when Manchester united is actually horrible to watch in the field of play, and by the look of things, nothing the fans of Manchester united can do to remove him, it's the hierarchy of Manchester united that has the final say on wether he stays or he leaves, but as for now, the Manchester united supporters should just enjoy the rollercoaster ride Eric ten hang is taking them on, just as graham potter and frank lampard did with Chelsea 😂😂😂

I sincerely never knew that Jordan Sancho is this good till I watch him in a Chelsea shirt, why would he be seating on the bench at Manchester united? I almost forgot that it's their turn,😂😂🤣 let their supporters enjoy the show 🤣🤣😂😂

Yes of course it is a bad trip for Man United fans to see Ten Hag still in control of the team, he is clearly not good enough and I have never seen a game so disorganized as the one I support, Ole is better than him but Ole has been removed because he is not living up to the fans expectations, it is clear that it is time for Man United management to have a talk about the managerial bench, after 3 games without a win at home to Twente it really hurts and Monday was a bad day for us fans after the humiliating 0-3 home defeat, clearly Ten Hag has to go.

He was quite good at talking after the defeat saying he will not be sacked because we are together, but the fans are demanding him out immediately frustrated every week if the games do not produce good results, I think Man United management should come out and say he has to go we have to see the development of Chelsea and also Liverpool under their new managers now Man United are just a weak team in the eyes of that person because of Ten Hag.

I can't provide many more comments on that issue if Ten Hag is really retained again.

But my hope, as someone who is not a Manchester United fan, when Ten Hag first joined the team, was that the coach would bring new innovations, such as making significant changes by developing talent from young players taken from the academy and allowing losses to happen for two seasons. But in the third season, Manchester United was already able to perform stronger and more consistently.
However, the reality is that none of that aligns because I do not know what the management of MU is thinking right now.

[Hirose UK]

I see some players who are not suitable but that for the back line and all of this is Ten Hag decision so we just see how this squad develops to finish the season with the Premier League and the Europa League.

There should be an evaluation from management. It may be that he has only worked for 3 years, but we have not seen any clear progress. Ten Hag has been given the money to buy players as he wants. But just look at the moment, the EPL results against Crystal Palace and in the UEL against Twente draw have made many rumors of Ten Hag's determination against Tottenham today. In addition, former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he was ready to return if needed. That adds to the heat of rumors that Ten Hag's departure is imminent.

But so far the team management continues to think and consider Ten Hag as coach who is still worthy of consideration, just look at the last three matches and they were defeated embarrassingly by Tottenham with score of 0 - 3, haha ​​I saw Manchester United game really bad in the match even though they had several good chances.
Some players cannot be relied on and the only thing I hope for in the match against Tottenham is Garnacho but several opportunities failed to produce goal, I was also quite disappointed with what Bruno did who made hard tackle with his feet more raised and that was very fatal, but he became Ten Hag mainstay player.
0 - 3 defeat to Tottenham was bad thing for Ten Hag because more and more people will not trust him to be able to handle Manchester United in the future, I saw Ten Hag face in this match as if he was not calm and it was really funny.
We see how the team management is after this whether they can still talk well about Ten Hag and have high hopes again or have new conclusion regarding the coach future.

This statistical table is interesting to me. You have to look at where Brighton and Ipswich get all this money from and what they get in return. There is no direct correlation between money spent and success. At least for many teams. The fact is that without spending money you have no chance of winning anything. So spending money is not guaranteed to bring success, but not spending money is guaranteed not to bring success.
Looking at the table, Napoli should be in a much better position in Serie A and Lyon in Ligue 1. We are already used to the Arab clubs spending money, and West Ham and Tottenham seem to be the clubs in the Premier League that spend a lot and don't get what they should.
Maybe it would have made more sense to spend money on the infrastructure to develop young talents instead of paying so much for players.

Nah, there's a big direct correlation between money spent and success.

Brighton, West Ham and Tottenham didn't able to become a champion, but at least they almost have no chance to be relegated.

Napoli and Lyon actually aren't the richest teams in their own domestic league, Lyon was almost relegated, but they spent a lot money during transfer window and they make from 18th position to 6th position.

Ipswich Town is the only team from Championship that isn't in relegation zone.

The reason teams like Brighton has been performing so well this season is as they spent money to buy players.

Brighton knew how to use money wisely. If only spending money was enough to make them successful, Chelsea or Manchester United would have been successful long ago, but the important thing is to be able to spend money on important players. To be able to transfer the right players and to ensure harmony within the team. Brighton has achieved this. They have become one of the teams in the Premier League that has ensured that the players are in harmony with each other. They lost the Chelsea match, but I believe they will perform better in the other matches. The team is just being formed and is just getting used to each other.

Ten Hag is a very confident person although Manchester United has displayed poor performance since he was arrived but confidently Ten Hag says he will bringing Manchester United to performing better again although he says it required process but Ten Hag believe Manchester United can compete against big teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal in Premier league but although Ten Hag can give two trophies for Manchester United but in fact their performance in Premier league is similar to mediocre team

Indeed i have seen the news that Ten Hag position is still safe in Manchester United so the owner probably will not sack him early but if Manchester United will suffering several loses from their upcoming matches then not impossible the owner will really sack him and according to the rumour some of famous names such as Massimiliano Allegri, Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel are linked to Manchester United and besides these managers some fans also want Manchester United bring Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back because they feel Manchester United is much better under Solskjaer rather than under Ten Hag

Florian Wirtz is a very good player that will suit Arsenal style of play perfectly so if Arsenal should sign him to the club it will be a huge boost to their squad and also a good move for the player himself. Let’s just hope Arsenal is not scared away this time because of the price on him because Arsenal are known to be very mindful of the way they spend their money. To break Manchester City dominance i think Arsenal needs to sign more players like a prolific striker and an additional winger as well as signing Florian Wirtz it will make them more competitive and they would be able to win the league easily.

Well that's right I would also really agree if Arsenal recruits this player because they actually need an active attacking line if they want to win the league race, I think it's okay to spend big money if Arsenal really needs this player so far I rarely see Arsenal waste money to buy many expensive players but this time they really need him, he is a great player and Leverkusen actually doesn't want to lose this player but if Arsenal is interested and willing to accept the price clause I think Leverkusen will find it difficult to refuse.

In last few weeks, we are having good intention about this new sensation of soccer as Florian Wirtz is having huge tag of transfer by Bayer Leverkusen with few big clubs are still interested and want to buy him even things are not clear, but we will be having good competition between Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid with Manchester United and one more club can also jump into this but as things are going anything is possible because money matters about this transfer.

Recently we are having statement from the Mikel Arteta as he is having good interest into this player and wants to buy him on any cost but still it's never been easy because we are having huge market and many clubs are also capable of buying him on this asked price by Bayer Leverkusen this season is important then surely we will be having all out about him as where he is going to land.

In my opinion, Ten Hag should not be in charge of the team right now anyway, he has already done the most damage he could to Manchester United. Manchester United now has the impression of being a ruined team. They couldn't even win against the Dutch team in the Europa League. They are also seen as one of the few teams that can be champions in the Europa League. They still have tough teams to face. If they fail in both the Premier League and the Europa League, it will be something that will damage Manchester United's reputation. I still can't understand why the management hasn't changed the manager. I think he should have left the team long ago. The transfers he made are criticized as much as he is.

The performance of the pena in the match against Osasuna was not optimal but we cannot blame the pena for Barcelona failure to win the match, because the performance of the Barcelona defenders in the match was also not solid, so they did concede a lot of goals in the match, but even so, of course Barcelona currently needs another goalkeeper who is indeed experienced as an alternative for them to face a busy schedule, Szczesny performance and experience so far of course cannot be doubted, but the problem at the moment of course Szczesny does not want to only be Barcelona second goalkeeper so obviously it will cause a conflict between the pena, Szczesny and also hansi flick later, Barcelona is currently still in intense talks regarding the recruitment of Szczesny and most likely if he will probably be one of the players that will be registered by Barcelona to face the young boy in the Champions League.

After having impressive start of their season suddenly things are going on wrong way for the Barcelona because they are having too many injuries which are creating problems for their defense, and they are getting poor results specially lost in last game against Osasuna were worse because no one expecting performance like this from them, but we have their defense playing like crap their goalkeeper were also not as they needed Pena completely fail to give any positive response.

Szczesny is having contract but due to their financial issues things are not settled, and they have to face delay in this all which is also having problem for them in coming days things will be more problematic because schedule is challenging and injuries are not stoppable so they needed to be had some suitable alternative for this otherwise they can face another problematic season which is not suitable for them and their fans.

However, the reality is that none of that aligns because I do not know what the management of MU is thinking right now.

Erik Ten Hak looked good in his first season at Manchester United but he didn't have many players who were able to accept instructions in implementing his strategy. Furthermore, Man United tried to give him confidence in recruiting players but so far he has not made major changes. Now it is increasingly difficult to see where the mistake lies so that Man United played quite badly because overall the management has followed the needs he wanted.

If in the previous season we saw their defense which was still quite weak but the arrival of several players in that position also did not make a major change. Furthermore, we are also starting to see weaknesses in the midfield because they are unable to play at their best, apart from Onana who often makes fatal mistakes.

I can't believe that Man United's management continues to maintain Ten Hag as Man United's coach even though under Ten Hag's coaching, Man United's quality has not improved and can even be said to be the worst compared to previous coaches. I hope that in the middle of this season Man United's management will fire Ten Hag and recruit another good coach so that Man United can return to competing in the Champions League next season.

So, will this be good news or bad news? IMO, it's time for Manchester United's management to address every issue, such as Maguire, who should actually be replaced due to his slightly older age. It would be better to recruit younger, more aggressive players who can make a significant contribution.

However, it seems to me he's pretty injury-prone now. I hope i was wrong, but let's see if there will be another update from his injury soon. Hopefully, he will be fine next game.

Manchester United in my opinion has a capable squad depth and is better prepared to face the competition than Manchester City or Arsenal today, most of the injured Manchester United players are defenders such as Maguire, Leny Yoro, Malacia and Luke Shaw but they currently have De Light, Martines, Mazraoui and some other players who are better at defending,  Maguire's injury I think has never been a problem from their weak defense at the moment because Maguire is the player that fans expect the least , if you watch Manchester United play in the last two seasons, of course you understand why Maguire is actually considered the least important player by fans today, Maguire is a player who was previously bought quite expensive from Leicester City,  But in fact, his performance is below the current standard and even he often makes ridiculous blunders that result in Manchester United's goal being conceded.

I also still don't think how the Ineos Group can be hypnotised by a bald head who clearly has a vision of making Manchester United play in the 2nd tier of the Premier League. If that's the goal it doesn't matter then I will accept and support Erik Ten Hag. The Premier League is too hard to live for the Man United he currently leads. From the beginning I suspected that no matter how bad the results Manchester United got, Erik Ten Hag would still be retained and he seemed to have strong supporters within the United Management body whether it was the Ineos Group or even directly from the Glazer Family.

Everything is clear Manchester United are playing badly, there is no improvement despite having poured billions of dollars to buy players whose contributions are very below standard and even busy being injured rather than playing on the field. Maybe it is time for Manchester United to get out of the Premier League if there is no talk of sacking Ten Hag.
