⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lida93]

According to this news, the Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is taking a different approach in the search of a striker for his team. He is said to have taking interest in integrating one of the young forward in the Manchester United youth  academy to the senior team.

Chido Obi Martin had his Manchester United debut against Nottingham Forest where he scored two goals in five minutes and later got a hat-trick for his team within 14 minutes. The 16 years old striker Chido Obi Martin who is reviewed by his youth coaches Jason Wilcox, Darren Fletcher and Nick Cox is spoken of to be a young lethal talented forward who is believed to have great potentials for the future base on his exceptional performance with the youth team.

Assuming this story is true about Amorin move. Do you all think he's making a valid choice? We have had team's like Barcelona integrating young talents from their academy to the senior team, a fresh example that of Lamine Yamal who has really been of immense support to Barcelona's top form in all competitions this season. Can same work out successfully for the Manchester United new boss?

These type of things are never certain and can't be considered as something we can easily decide or give prediction on. This kid is only 16 years old, which means that how could we know how great he could be without seeing him? Not many people knew what Yamal could do before he started to play for Barcelona, even after just one or two games we still didn't really know what he would be looking like neither, a player could have a great few first games or terrible first few games and neither could mean anything.

This is why we need to realize that this kid is still a big unknown to everyone. If Amorim saw anything in him, the best course of action would be putting him in bench, and whenever they are ahead by a lot, and by a lot I mean 2-0 would be enough, just not one goal difference, then put him in the game at 70th minute or so, that would give him 20+ minute each game to play and show himself. If he does great, after a while he could start to get the position on some games.

In the words of Sir Alex Ferguson, "if you're ready enough then you're matured enough to play", and I think this could be the right words to describe the situation about this young lad in this position. We all know that the striker position is a very important position and should be used for some careless experiments but, in this case am not really troubling myself with the player's age that much  because players like Yasmine Lamal has clearly proven that in modern football even at 16 you could still do greater things than a 21 year old could do, what's there is for you to be focused on giving your best on the field.

Normally even if Ruben Amorim decides to incorporate the young forward into the senior team he wouldn't be a first XI starter but will have to be coming from the bench due to his inadequate experience in tue current level of league games. This ain't the first time Amorim is adopting this approach, he did it while he was in Sporting CP, and that's why I think that he can achieve some success with Chido Obi Martin under Manchester United if he chooses to give the young star an opportunity to shine at the senior team level.

There may be teams from the Turkish league that want to transfer him. In our country, there are definitely managers who want to see players like Pogba on their teams. Of course, I don't know if he will come to the Turkish league after Saudi Arabia. You are right, after two years, he will be closer to retirement for football.

It would be wild to see him and Mourinho on the same team again. The drama and chaos would be funny to watch (even though the person involved probably feels nothing about it).

I tried to see new rumors and it seems like some people used clickbait to trick me into thinking they have credible sources for their news. From Newcastle United to Los Angeles FC, it seems like many clubs (middle/bottom half of the table) want his service. The sources are weak, but I think it's reasonable to expect clubs on the bottom half of the table to be interested in him, especially if he accepts cheap wages. CMIIW.

Yes, we think such things about Saudi Arabia, but there are still players who return to Europe after Saudi Arabia. There are also some players who see it as a place to earn money. I think Paul Pogba could be one of them. At the end of the two years he spends in Saudi Arabia, he can earn good money and return to Europe. In addition, he will get used to football again during this time.

After two seasons in Saudi Arabia, he is no longer young and it may be difficult for him to get a place in a European team.
Saudi Arabia is a place for players to earn money and there they can be fulfilled regarding finances as agreed by the players.
I do not expect Pogba to take that step because for now he is still able to compete with other players when playing in Europe.
But as long as the interest of European clubs is not directed at him, the decision to go to Saudi Arabia may be a much more appropriate step.

Currently he is 31 years old for next season he will be 32 years old if he decides to go to Saudi Arabia for 2 years and return to the European league it is a bad idea no European club wants to recruit Pogba because his age is getting older and he is also prone to injury than the risk for the club that recruits him so it is better to continue to be in Saudi Arabia until he retires like Ronaldo who will most likely end his football career in Saudi Arabia when he has fulfilled what he wants.

the issue is that its going to be more difficult for him to break into any of the European team at the moment compared to getting his career started at Saudi Arabia. what he needs now is not just hoping that because of his past reputation he can easily break into any of the top leagues, he need to start first and maybe with time and based on his performance, he can become a consideration if he will be called up in a big team. if he does well in the Saudi league and hopefully get called up to play for France that could be a way of injecting life into his his career but truth is that he is not going to be an alpha player like he was in the past. no English team will want to sign a 32 year old Stricker that should be thinking retirement when there are a lot young and talented players that are available for the role. the reality is that time runs too fast and once your time is up, you cant recover them again. for Pogba, his time is almost up and if he's lucky enough to get a second chance of playing for the Saudi league, that's even fair for him.

I think that the major problem of Paul Pogba is his constant injuries, and I believe that it's the major concern of most of his suitors, but if you are talking of his abilities, then I am very confident that he still have a lot to offer.
Just as you have rightfully said, I think that the best option for him would be if he goes to Saudi Arabia and ply his trade there, because the pressure he is going to face their would be much more less comparing to Europe, and he would struggle to get a good employer in Europe considering his terrible injury record, so Saudi Arabia is the best possible option for him now, as it stands.

And lastly, he is almost close to the end of his playing career, so the ideal thing and move he should be making is to play for the money, and Saudi Arabia move is actually going to give him just that

If his target is to return to the French national team, he must find a club that is ready to guarantee him regular playing time and he must also help himself to return to his best form. Playing in the Arab League would rule out the possibility of him returning to the French national team because the level of competition there is not like in the top 5 European leagues. The January transfer window will open up opportunities for him to get a new club, if he does not get the offer he wants, accepting an offer from an Arab club would be better for him than being unemployed.

Very few European players who are 31 years old will be productive and even if there are only a few players so Pogba's chances of performing at his best are almost certain to end. After playing in the Arab League and moving back to Europe then the question is which club will be willing to recruit and give him a big salary. So it is almost impossible for that scenario to work well and I think playing in the Saudi Arabian League will be much more profitable for him financially. There he can also collect more money and retire after seeing the development of football against him no longer getting his best quality.

There are almost no more European players over 30 years old, maybe 1 or 2 more seasons for players over 30 years old to be in the European League. I am more confident that Paul Pogba will continue to play in the Arab League there. He will be comfortable playing because the competition is not as tough as the European League.
Physically and in terms of performance, it is impossible for a European club to sign him for a big salary, especially since Pogba is prone to injury, so he cannot fully play the quality of the game. Again, this scenario will not happen if you look at your age and physical condition which is already starting to decline.

Can same work out successfully for the Manchester United new boss?

Firstly, i congratulate Obi. He successfully attracted Amorim's interest to bring him to the first team earlier. i didn't even expect it to happen consider his performance is not that impressive at u18s team.

Secondly, it seems to me this is a very good idea. It's because the academic player rarely got a chance to step-up to the first squad.  I believe, this pushes academic player to have strict competition  to get a spot in the first team.

Lastly, I think Amorim is making a valid choice, he might be seen a potential from the academic player. So, he wants to develop it. But, i'm doubting it can work out as La Masia did. This is because they rarely worked on the their academic player.

There was a time I was also hearing a rumor that Victor Osimhen will leave Galatasaray for another club but Okan Buruk the manager of the club Galatasaray said, Victor Osimhen will not leave untimely plan and if he is leaving then it should be at the end of the season and not when the season is still on. Really everyone knows that Victor Osimhen present in the club has changed the performance of the team and they are winning regularly now in this season. At first when the transfer was on I was supporting him to join Chelsea but things didn't workout the way it was planned.

Galatasaray can only hope that Victor Osimhen finish the current season with them, his arrival has significantly improved their chances of winning their domestic league. Gala has become a tough opponent in the Europa league with Osimhen leading their attack. I would love Victor Osimhen to come to England in this upcoming transfer window, even though it seems like he is truly happy at Galatasaray, Osimhen will not stay in Turkey. His main goal will be moving to a top club in January that can give him more recognition and trophies.

The comfort of playing in the Galatasaray at the moment is not enough to make Osimhen stay in the Turkish league In my opinion, Osimhen desire to develop his career to be better in the future makes him very eager to play in the big European club clubs at the moment, so Galatasaray only has a very small chance of being able to keep him permanently at the squad now, allthough maybe they will offer Napoli a huge amount of money, but it seems he not will change his stance to look for a new challenge at a club which can promise him many trophies and also a guarantee of playing in the Champions League later, even despite all that, Galatasaray is not a better team than Napoli so far and when Osimhen has a great desire to leave his comfort at a club as big as Napoli,  then why did he have to choose Galatasaray later?

I think that the major problem of Paul Pogba is his constant injuries, and I believe that it's the major concern of most of his suitors,

Injuries is always a big problem for Paul Pogba especially when he was playing for Manchester United he had to miss so many matches all because of injuries which was the reason why we normally see him on fire in most season and sometimes very week, however for now he is a player without a team because Juventus has released him, perhaps that means that his resumption will not longer be with the Juventus, actually he was a big disappointment for his fans  because right now all they feel for him is petty and nothing else because after coming back next year he has few years to retire so if he has opportunity on Turkish league he shouldn't hesitate.

[bitLeap]

I would say that Min Son should not go to any other squad at the moment. There is no doubt that Min Son is very talented. If he goes to a new squad, Min Son's performance may also deteriorate. At the same time, Min Son is not a regular scorer. So big clubs like Real, Barca or Munich will not be interested in adding Son to their squad. So I think it is a better option for Son to stay at Tottenham.

That right, the team management gives whatever the players need so that they are so loyal and really don't care whether they can win the title or not because what they do is play their best and give their all to help Tottenham fight in all match of every competition.
Kane and Son are two figures of players who are quite important for Tottenham but now there is only Son and it is also possible that there will be time when Son might end up the same as Kane, but who knows when all that will happen.

It all comes back to Son decision, whether he wants to win trophies in his career or he is no longer interested because he realizes that Spurs are still very far from winning trophies in the near future. The point is every footballer must have that ambition but because of the team's condition and increasingly unfulfilled desires Son buried that dream deep. After all there is still a saturation point, right? Season after season spent with Tottenham until retirement and without a trophy.

I will say bringing in Xavi is going to be a good move. Because you know AC Milan are definitely not finding the results that they are looking for and there is no point in keeping a coach that you don't like or you are not getting good results from.

You know, Xavi did not bring bad results with Barcelona at all. He also brought in a La Liga title for Barcelona while he was the coach. The only reason why it seems like the decision of sacking him is not that bad is because Hansi Flick is doing a good job. So I think bringing him as the new coach can actually be a very good decision for the Rossoneri management. But I don't know how he is going to adapt to a different league. Trial and error is something that no club likes to do especially with coaches.

That's true, quite a different league from the Spanish la Laliga that he's been accustomed to, however it has both advantage and disadvantage side,  the disadvantage is that he's going to start learning and experiment things during this his first season, which may result in him not performing good as expected, whereas AC Milan at the moment is highly interested In a Manager that will give them immediate results.
But the advantage side is that most of club he's going to be facing hasnt really had an encounter with Xavi before and hence aren't familiar with Xavi's tactical system, we may see him win his games and thereby turn things around.

I tried to look at the Serie A standings, and apparently Milan is now in 7th place. It is very natural that many are dissatisfied with the performance of the team and Fonseca, especially since Milan has actually declined this season. I also read several newspapers, it is very likely that Paulo Fonseca will be removed from the head coach's seat. Apart from that, I don't know his status until now. However, looking at Milan's list, Paulo Fonseca is still the coach. Speaking of Xavi, Xavi has actually handled other clubs before La Liga. Although the club is from Qatar, at least he can adapt to the style of Italian League football. Like Hansi Flick, he also studied and adapted to the style of Spanish League football, especially Barcelona's philosophy. We don't know if Xavi is capable if he becomes Milan's coach, but there's nothing wrong with him having potential as a young coach and having proven it even though his second season handling Barca was not smooth. If Paulo Fonseca can't bring Milan's performance much better, then it's no wonder the club will recruit another coach. Xavi? maybe not the ideal option, but maybe he can be given a chance if Xavi is willing. btw, I don't get any newspaper references if Xavi is linked with AC Milan to replace Fonseca.

This would be a good plan for the Red Devils honestly. Let's check out the current alternatives in the position.

Luke Shaw... He has suffered big injuries especially in the recent years. This just finished him. The team can't rely on him in the long term anymore. Otherwise he was a quite decent LB. Injuries hit him hard.

Tyrell Malacia... He is another alternative who is much younger. However he couldn't even play in last two seasons. He suffered a huge injury period which lasted nearly a year and a half. I don't think they would like to trust him as the main LB either. 

[bering]

As far as I know, Real Madrid already has several star players who play in the front line but I just read the news on Twitter that Real Madrid is targeting Alexandre Lacazette to recruit in the January transfer market, I wonder why Real Madrid recruited the French striker? even though he is already 33 years old while Madrid already has good strikers at the moment but I think he might be used as a second-string player if one of Madrid's strikers gets injured I see his statistics at Lyon are also quite good in the last few seasons.

If this news is true, I will be disappointed in Real Madrid for trying to aquire the service of a 33 years old player when they have so many young and talented players such as Kylian Mbappe, Arda Güler, Endrick, Rodrygo and Vinicius junior who can fill up the striking position effectively. While Alexandre lacazette is undoubtedly a skilled striker, signing him at this stage of his career seems unnecessary for Real Madrid as they have young and talented players that are available to fill in the position.

Lacazette is the typical of pure centre striker and although Real Madrid has several players for front lines but basically they don't have the players who can be played on CF position and last season Real Madrid has Joselu but unfortunately he was sell to Qatar club and i think Real Madrid has capability to bought younger striker rather than Lacazette and i don't think this rumour would be happened and i know currently Lyon has facing serious financial problem and most likely they will going to sell some players this January but i am not sure Lacazette transfer will help Lyon to solved their financial condition because according to Lacazette market price his value is only 5 million so i personally didn't think this rumour happened

Playing Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui at left-back is unlikely to be an option for Ruben Amorim, meaning that if Man United does sign a new left-back, one of Dalot and Mazraoui will be benched. There are no specific names, so it will definitely be a lot of speculation here. Alphonso Davies is one of them, and he is currently being linked with Man United, but I think Man United really has to fight hard if they want Davies because besides having to prepare large funds, Man United has to compete with Real Madrid which also seems interested in Alphonso Davies.

Real Madrid sold Joselu because Ancelotti was sure Mbappe will be fine to play in center forward position. But, since the plan wasn't working like he expected, Ancelotti choose to bring a pure center forward. Lacazette, who has low market value and play in Lyon, will high likely move to Real Madrid.

I'm sure if Real Madrid willing to pay 10 Million Euros, Lyon will accept the offer.

Mate, Dalot, and Mazraouii are all left backs; the statement plainly stated that the club might add another RB to the roster in the January transfer window or wait until the summer to sign someone. Davies Alonso is a good alternative, but his injury record is not great, and English football is more intense than the Bundesliga, therefore I don't think he survive here for a long time too.

Looking goals contribution for Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen not get difficult for adapting well with Turkish league after scoring 6 goals of 6 appearance and he needs play with higher level competition such as Premier League, La Liga or return back to Serie A.
Have big problem to sign Victor Osimhen because his previous team Napoli want higher fees transfer around 100 million euro and make difficult to sign him as permanently.

Chelsea become the one of Premier League team linked to sign him in this season but both side failed reach agreement deal and Chelsea won't swap him for Lukaku. I don't sure yet Chelsea still have interested to sign Victor Osimhen after their forward have better performance in this season and Napoli need to find another team who have offer 100 million euro for fees transfer.
