⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Hirose UK]

But if we talk about failure then we will see Mourinho also previously failed to bring Tottenham and also AS Roma as everyone wanted to be able to develop, in the end he left and is now coach for team from Turkey.

I was amongst those that called out the outdated tactics of Jose Mourinho at Tottenham but it was mlre than just his tactics, Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy refused spending money to get required players. So if you talk about Jose Mourinho, how about Antonio Conte at Tottenham Hotspur? It's the same thing as well right now with Ange. As per Erik Ten Hag, building takes time, you might not like the current status of the club but gradually, they'll evolve. This current news about Erik ten Hag stay and leaving seems to have been decided. He stays;

Yes, you are right, and regarding Antonio Conte, he actually left because he felt Tottenham had various problems with the players and in the end some players disliked him until Conte chose to leave.
But forget about Tottenham, Antonio Conte, Mourinho or Ange Postecoglou because the most important thing is about how Manchester United will continue with coach Ten Hag, in the end everything has been answered that there is an opportunity given for Ten Hag to be able to restore the situation by showing real changes.
This is quite surprising actually but I read several sources that Ten Hag has not many opportunities because if there really is no change maybe there will be something more surprising related to his future as Manchester United coach.
I will not talk much about Manchester United and also Ten Hag, can only see how the next developments are after he gets many opportunities to survive, hopefully he does not disappoint all this trust that has been given again.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Technically or game strategy maybe it's because of the coach, but in terms of club management I see something wrong with the management when managing this club. I remember what Ronaldo said when interviewed by the media which at that time became a big conflict in Manchester United, one of the things he said was the way the management and the coach were managed. I don't mean to justify what Ronaldo did but what he said might be something that illustrates how chaotic the current management is. Because it cannot be denied that management is a part that cannot be separated, even though it is not directly involved in the field, its role is very much felt. Because I believe that good management will create a good team.

Even though this season they have only won 3 times in 11 matches, Ten Hag position is still safe even though the pressure from outside is very strong which has pushed the management to immediately fire him. The management's attitude seemed to pamper and support Ten Hag, at least Ronaldo words might be true, especially when he experienced it himself. Ten Hag fate is entirely in the hands of management because they are the ones who have the right to decide the best way to run the team, but if the situation is like this, the management is not competent enough to manage the club. I can't say anything bad will happen to Manchester United in the future, but looking at the current condition of the team, they are heading towards a downturn.

The current Man United management has already fallen into a trap, so any changes will not work if the coach is still Erik Ten Hag, but strangely he has full support. So a long season must be very tiring to see the Man United club perform this badly. The situation in the heart of United is very messy, players like Bruno and Rashford are also uncomfortable with Ten Hag strategy. Especially Bruno who has lost his leadership soul not because he is bad but because he does not fit into Erik Ten Hag game scheme. We know Bruno is a quality player, everyone admits it but now he seems to have no vision whatsoever under Ten Hag control.

I read in the various newspapers that Ten Hag has already been sacked and Tuchel is already in the running for the probable replacement who apparently has already decided to take his place at Manchester United, so I don't know at this point if the team is really interested to keep the coach still on the bench

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-meeting-live-tenhag-33841208

It's fake news. Ten Hag has not yet been sacked by Manchester United. He's still coaching the club. Don't believe the fake news in that newspaper. Although some media reported that he's still fighting for his future in the club. And there was also an explanation saying that he can also be replaced by Van Nistelroy.

For now Ten Hag is still the head coach and will continue to be so until we hear otherwise, after all, the team has begun to play better than last season and with new additions including the management back room staff am sure they would be as lucky, if not luckier than last season when they only won the FA cup.

As regarding the news about De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola having a contract extension, it is in play and we might see either a two year contract for both parties unless De Bruyne decides to leave for bigger pay.

Ten Hag got a good chance this season to immediately provide an increase and from the current results at EPL, Man United is indeed a little better but Ten Hag still has to continue to struggle to strengthen the team with several different tactics and strategies to produce more stable performance.

And related to KDB that will extend the contract actually could have happened, but for me to extend the contract for 2 seasons something very long and Man City should not take the risk. It would be better to extend another 1 season's contract and Guardiola must also immediately find a suitable player to replace the KDB position. Because I'm sure sooner or later De Bruyne prefers to join the SPL team.

2-season contract for the 33-year-old player but it is KDB actually still very feasible especially since his performance is still very vital for Manchester City so in this case while looking for a new successor to replace KDB in Manchester City's midfield I think it's okay to extend the contract for 2 seasons.

But for now KDB's future is actually uncertain because until now Manchester City still hasn't really given a statement about KDB's future especially for these 2 seasons he is quite susceptible to injury and his recovery still takes a long time so maybe this is another consideration for Manchester City.

indeed for KDB the closer his contract is to the end, the other clubs will like this especially if we look at the interest from the SPL last season, of course we can see that KDB is quite popular so when his contract runs out, the opportunity for SPL clubs that rely on money is definitely open for KDB.

I think all of Manchester United's rivals want Ten Hag to stay as long as possible, because as long as he coaches Manchester United there is no serious threat to the team and as long as United are going through the worst scenario since 1989, in fact 35 years have not seen such a bad start to the season in Manchester.

De Bruyne apparently just wants a lot and given his age, and he is already 33, Manchester City don't want to extend his contract on his terms. Besides, it is written that Ronaldo would like to see De Bruyne in Al-Nasr and I think De Bruyne will choose this option, because for another year or two he will definitely be able to play at a high enough level and in the Saudi league can earn money for himself and his children

Klopp is returning to football, but not as a coach but as a global leader in the Red Bull system. He will work with coaches and do consulting work for teams such as Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, Bragantino, Omiya Ardija, and he will start working on January 1, 2025. I suspect that money played a big role in this decision. After that, he received a lot of criticism, and explained that as he said before, he does not want to return to football as a coach, but he still loves football and wants to be involved in the development of football.

Actually it doesn't matter even though Jurgen Kloop returned to the world of football as far as I know he never said to really stop he just said he wanted to rest for a while and so far he has been on a break for almost half a year so if he returns to the world of football there should be no one to criticize, it is the right of Jurgen Kloop who decides to return to coaching or not. I am actually happy if he returns even though he is no longer the Liverpool coach because the club has also found a new coach who is no less good. Jurgen Kloop is a wise person so it is only natural that Red Bull is interested in Jurgen Kloop to become a consultant.

[red4slash]

I think at the moment he just needs a chance and the trust of the coach, so if he can get it of course he can show his prowess in playing, Ancelotti will probably give him more opportunities as time goes on, but I think to get that opportunity of course he has to keep working hard to get it because currently Madrid is filled with a lot of talented players.

He is very comfortable in Madrid so there is no need to question this because in the end if you look at what is happening now I think he has also got quite good flight hours and the portion is not too small for the size of a young player so in this case everything is still running smoothly for Arda.

Indeed, previously there were some rumours, especially when Mou wanted to borrow Arda for Fenerbahce but that has been completely rejected by Madrid and said that Arda will not go anywhere.
His potential is still very good at the moment so there is no reason for Arda to actually leave with a situation that is still very favourable for himself especially being in Madrid is certainly a good blessing regardless of whether or not he deserves to be the core line up in the end this only has to wait for time and be able to compete because the core line up in Madrid is definitely not easy.

I am concerned Trent will leave, he is close to Bellingham off the pitch, I hope that doesn’t have a factor here.

I see that Real have supposedly made William Saliba their top target next summer.

If we should be in Trent's head, he'll be like, " I've won it all in the Premier League Competition with Liverpool, why not grace the chance to play for the best club in the world? " I feel like he'll accept the call from Real Madrid. Playing for that club is every young players dream truthfully. Asides him, Alphonso Davies is another name Real Madrid will definitely recruit. Having these two names means, they have more of their creativity coming from the wings or inverted fullbacks? I will love to see them play. It'll be glorious. Saliba is a top player, he is the key to that Arsenal defense, I know what he'll bring so much calm and error free defending when you tag him alongside Rudiger! Can't wait.

People forget that certain things can play a role for someone to have a second thought on their initial decision, several coaches after being sack or retired from a certain club decides to take a break for a while, some stay longer before they resume coaching again, for instance (Zidane) but in Klopp's own case he made it public after his retirement from Liverpool that he won't resume coaching in another club immediately and would rest for a while before assuming coaching duties again, moreover the period he's stayed without any managerial role is enough time for one to rest, he mustn't stay away for a longer period beyond this so I wonder why the criticism on the media regarding the news of his possible assumption of coaching duties, it's a matter of choice and it's his choice take any decision he feels is best for him. It would be lovely to watch Klopp coaching again, moreover he's not coming back as a coach but a consultant to the Red Bull footballing company. Well I love what Kloop did at Liverpool and I think it would've been lovely to see him assume coaching duties to being a consultant.

Which club is playing better than last season? Hope you are not referring to Manchester United? Just go and check the table and see the position that Manchester United are in. I will say Manchester United performance is worse than last season,  out of 7 Premier League matches played, Manchester United could just win just two matches, and the two matches played in the Europa League, they haven’t been able to win any match, all they could get was a draw in the two matches played, so just tell me how you think their performance this current season is better than last season.

[JeffBrad12]

Mate, I don't see Real Madrid letting him go on loan anytime soon. Arda is such a game changer for them, though he often gets subbed off. I know his playtime is our main concern. Giving him more minutes is one solution. But he easily starts for mid-table teams in a competitive league.

Arda Guler, will remain a Real Madrid player this season and I doubt there will ever be a reason of loaning him outside this season, since no more Toni Kroos and Modric will soon leave also, it's expected he is among the heritors of the midfield there. In the aspect of injury crisis now, Real Madrid are the club currently looking of adding support players to the team and not selling or loaning their key man this coming transfer window in January.

There's no freaking way to rent him back to Fenerbahce; he deserves to be rented to a bigger club. He needs it to ensure he can step up higher than this time. He is a very promising player to be wasted on a club that wouldn't help develop himself.

Man you spoke as if him moving to Fenerbahçe for a loan deal will be a bad idea, don't forget he will be under Jose Mourinho and also still have a more game time with Europa league football and with Arda Guler, Fenerbahçe will have a better chance of winning the league by being ahead of Galatasaray who is even having a more fearsome squad especially in the aspect of their attack.

I know Fenerbahçe's coach, Mourinho, is a world-class coach. But it doesn't mean it's right destination for Arda Güler to go there. Unless he wants a career suicide, he should stay here, in Real Madrid, as the next upcoming talent. He needs to be developed in a competitive league to form his performance and mentality.

I admit that benching Arda Güler at Real might hinder his development. But there are better loan options for him soon. Anyway, I think he should stay, and i belive he will shine later once he gets a proper club to be loaned. He still has enough time to develop himself. There's no need to rush.

Mourinho has always been very ambitious, especially in his best years he demanded only the best players from the management, but everything began to change when team after team that he coached could no longer achieve great success. If you remember Roma, there he had to work with the players that were in the team, maybe they managed to attract a few free agents, if I'm not mistaken, that's how Dybala came, or a loan like Lukaku. So I doubt that he is now able to get the players he wants.

Arda Güler already stated before that he wasn't intending to join back Fenerbahçe soon. Loan or permanent move, it doesn't matter. Therefore I just expect those rumours to stay as they are. 

Yeah he is benched by Ancelotti most of the time and it is frustrating for any young and talented player who is very eager to play more and prove themselves. But Real Madrid is full of stars so he has no choice other than being patient.

If he was playing for Barcelona for example then maybe he could play much longer. I'm not saying it to underestimate their squad, don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to say that Barcelona gives more chances to youngsters.

[bering]

Chelsea's insistence on Victor Osimhen continues. Napoli will be forced to let the player go if the 81 million Euro contract termination fee is paid at half-time. Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, will have a release clause of 75 million Euro at the end of the season if he doesn't move to another club at half-time. There are also reports that Galatasaray want to buy Osimhen, but I find them very unrealistic. No club in Türkiye has the economy to pay such a huge fee.

Galatasaray actually was very satisfied to the performance of Osimhen so that's why they want Osimhen to stayed for at least until this season ended and indeed to buy Osimhen Galatasaray has good advantages because only them who can bought Osimhen from Napoli with 75 million this january but i don't think this ambition can be realize considering Galatasaray is cannot be categorize as rich team in Europa and i think they don't dare to buy Osimhen on that price and for Chelsea actually since last summer they have been linked to Osimhen but the transfer was cancelled and Osimhen loaned to Galatasaray but i think this news also still not certain but i believe after winter transfer opened there will be a team who willing to pay according to his clause and it could be Chelsea or other teams

All we know is that Mourinho wants to hire this player for Fenerbahçe after the other team in this league hired Osimhen. Now Fenerbahçe doesn't want to lose the race, and they also want to improve the teams.
When Güler joined Real Madrid, he couldn't perform well in the first days because of injury, but he improved over time. Now, I don't think Real Madrid wants to lose this player, considering his age and talent. Maybe they will just get Güler on loan.

People will always get criticised, whether good or bad, what matters is taking the decision which you feels is good form your,  you aren't living anybodys life, Klopp's decisions to return to football activities after couple of months should be no one problem regardless of what he said initially, and after ending almost a decade contract with Liverpool.

Laws are made and later changed, so no decision is always the final, Our views can change as regards to what we might have tthought before. Wishing Klopp another good time at Red -Bulls club, now not as a coach but as a coaching consultant.

I wonder why the hate or criticism, I guessed majority are just jealous and would have wanted him as a coaching consultant for their club or any other thing as long as he is with them, since everyone can agree he is an excellent coach, guess we can say a great one. At least we all should be happy, he's not entirely leaving football.

Andriy Lunin, signed in Jul 2018, never played, Real Madrid loaned him to Leganes. After that Real Madrid choose to loaned him to Real Valladoid and then Real Oviedo. Now, as we can see Lunin becomes second goalkeeper.

Valverde, signed in Jul 2016, but he played for Castilla and in the next year Real Madrid loaned him to Deportivo La Coruna. Now, as we can see he become one of the best midfielder that always become starter.

I don't see anything wrong if Guler loaned to other teams as a stepping stone.

Surprisingly, I just read that Marseille wants Pogba. Reading your post, I immediately surfed to get more information. Apparently, there are many newspapers reporting that Marseille has been in advanced discussions with Paul Pogba, for several weeks to recruit him in January. Source: journalist Malick Traore. However, I did not find what you said. I will quote it, "Marsille has been denied as possible destination for Pogba". Referring to Romano's latest report regarding this player, the Juventus CEO confirmed that they are negotiating with Pogba and his camp to find a solution. The solution is clear, only the terms must be agreed. But Pogba will leave Juventus and become a free agent. Other news also, Poga is linked to MLS and Saudi Pro League.

Recently Paul Pogba linked to MLS League teams but still need waiting until the January transfer window opening, after mutual contract agreement reach between Juventus and Paul Pogba he will be free agent on next window transfer opening but have wait until March next years to make his debut.
Marseille make huge top players transfer after last signing Rabiot with free agent due his contract expiry with Juventus and could be good reunion with Paul Pogba linked to Marseille although have opportunities with few matches only before end this season.

Paul Pogba is top and most talented players, but since most of injury faced make him difficult return back to the top performance until get suspended from FIFA almost one year more. Left few months for him returning back and still waiting his team future keep stays with European clubs or joining with Saudi pro League teams or MLS League teams.

For now Ten Hag is still the head coach and will continue to be so until we hear otherwise, after all, the team has begun to play better than last season and with new additions including the management back room staff am sure they would be as lucky, if not luckier than last season when they only won the FA cup.

As regarding the news about De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola having a contract extension, it is in play and we might see either a two year contract for both parties unless De Bruyne decides to leave for bigger pay.

Ten Hag got a good chance this season to immediately provide an increase and from the current results at EPL, Man United is indeed a little better but Ten Hag still has to continue to struggle to strengthen the team with several different tactics and strategies to produce more stable performance.

And related to KDB that will extend the contract actually could have happened, but for me to extend the contract for 2 seasons something very long and Man City should not take the risk. It would be better to extend another 1 season's contract and Guardiola must also immediately find a suitable player to replace the KDB position. Because I'm sure sooner or later De Bruyne prefers to join the SPL team.

I think all of Manchester United's rivals want Ten Hag to stay as long as possible, because as long as he coaches Manchester United there is no serious threat to the team and as long as United are going through the worst scenario since 1989, in fact 35 years have not seen such a bad start to the season in Manchester.

Indeed, this season Man United looks bad under Ten Hag's coaching but it doesn't feel necessary to judge him so quickly because it needs to be remembered that building a team is not an instant thing, especially a club as big as Man United. Maybe Man United's rivals hope he remains the coach so that Man United continues to slump. However, it could be that behind all the criticism, there are those who want this situation to continue for their own benefit. After all, who doesn't like to see Man United stuck in uncertainty like this considering the club's long history as one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
