⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[topbitcoin]

Barcelona have a defensive problem, the starting defensive squad are basically Barcelona's serious defensive players with one of them being a seventeen year old who had to mature fast to fit in that role so Araujo is still needed in Barcelona's team and selling him without any replacement in sight is quite unbelievable m

Frankie De jong on the other hands needs to go. Just like the Ajax players during his time there none of them actually lived up to the hype that they carried then. Barcelona has been very patient with De Jong even through his injuries but right now it's best he tries his luck somewhere else.

Exactly Barcelona are strongly in defense because they don't have better defense currently because since Aurajo got injured, their defense was not stable anymore they are just managing because they have good strikers that are scoring goals and they are not seeing defense fort but now that some of the players are not performing like the beginning of the season, they have started seeing their fort and definitely they need to look for better defenders that will come to the team to make the club stronger like before. but how I see currently Barcelona are still struggling for funds i don't thing they can afford to buy a strong defender. Expect they sell some players in the team and buy new ones. Barcelona finance is very poor and they need to win trophies to raise money but am seeing that they have started performing weak in the league and am thinking they can probably lose the league trophy if they didn't pick form in the league.

True, Barcelona's current statistics are not very good for the size of the defense as 18 matches and conceding 20 goals for the size of a big club is definitely not very good in terms of their ratio although the advantage they have now is that their attacking line seems solid so they can always anticipate the worst despite their weak defense.

Financial problems are still a big obstacle for Barcelona but when they try to let go of de Jong and Araujo at the same time it will still be enough for them to look for new alternatives especially for now although Araujo still seems forceable but there are already some young players who are quite solid too for now.

Letting de Jong and Araujo go, apart from them being able to make new plans for their defense also has the advantage that the cash flow in salary is clearly reduced because de Jong's salary is clearly very large for Barcelona so when he leaves then at least Barcelona will get relief in the stability of their cash flow in salary.

Barcelona hired another young player, this time the 16-year-old player of Porto, Cardoso Varela. They recently tried to hire some younger talents. Instead of spending money on expensive players to have better teams, they just tried to hire the younger talents and use these talents in the team, which can make Barcelona a much younger team.
Cardoso Varela is a good option for them because he recently had a bad relationship with his team and tried to leave Porto, which shows that he was interested in leaving Porto. Barcelona was a fantastic destination for this young player.

Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo are in danger of being put on the transfer list if they don't renew their contracts.

Whenever I read his name on the transfer list, its kinda reminds me when Manchester United was trying so hard to sign yet he always make it hard for the team to progress. He always shown how loyal he was to Barcelona and now he doesnt even seems to be renewing his contract, as if he is waiting for better opportunities out there. Nah we dont need this cheeky attitude brat any now.

He could have been one of the main starters under Amorim by now if he wasnt that cheeky

Yes, Chelsea doesn't seem to be too bothered by the problems that befell Mudryk, especially since his contribution to The Blues is still lacking, his performance does not reflect his price, so losing him will not affect Chelsea's current performance at all.
However, if Palmer is in that situation, it will indeed be a big loss for Chelsea because he currently plays a big role in every victory achieved by Chelsea.
It seems that if Mudryk really uses doping, we will see another Pogba.

If the Ukrainian player did not use it on purpose, the rate of this will probably be clear in the analysis. However, if he used it on purpose, then we may see a new Pogba case. He may not play football for a long time and this kid is only 23 years old. It is an important age for football and facing such a problem early on could affect his fate. Moreover, he plays for a team like Chelsea and has the opportunity to improve himself. I hope he did not do this on purpose.

Well, since the last time whenever he played the match. His contribution level regarding through the club is nil. I mean, Mudryk didn't fulfill the purpose of the Chelsea team like for what they hired him for. Chelsea have Cole Palmer, whose contributions are unimaginable. So I think Chelsea won't have any concern piece. In the absence of Mudryk, there are many other players who can contribute much better than him. To be honest, Mudryk's career may be stuck in a difficult situation just like Pogba was. Because, as you described, he is 23 years old, and still he is affiliating with such kinds of illegal activities. So his involvement in similar issues at such a young age can ruin his career.

De Jong was definitely the most scouted player by Ten Hag and his back room staffs, he was seen as the perfect central midfielder to partner Casemiro then in the defensive midfield and Bruno in the attacking midfield. Seriously if one watched how good Frankie De Jong is with the you will most definitely agree with Ten Hag that he was the missing piece in the midfield then. Many contracts were made to him with Barcelona even stating then that the player was for sale but he didn’t wants to leave with his wages then been the most of any player in the league.

Manchester United pushed for this transfer and seeing that it didn’t materializes Ten Hag promoted the young Kobbie Mainoo to fill this central midfield role and the boy even though not experienced as De Jong has been doing excellently there and to me will remain there for now. With both De Jong and Araujo who also was a Manchester United target for center back position but was deemed untouchable then by Barcelona are now like injury prone players I doubt Manchester United will be coming for them

Losing Mudryk may not affect Chelsea's performance too much but as a football fan I am quite sad to see players who are caught using banned substances even though it is very detrimental to them and also the team I mean if he is absent then Chelsea still pays him a salary even though he does not contribution, just like Pogba's case where Juventus still pays him a salary even though he does not contribution, but also with this case the players will be more careful because if a scandal occurs it will ruin their careers.

Both players previously had problems with injuries but it seems that after recovering they are not so enthusiastic to return to playing impressively, it would be the right decision for Barcelona to include them in the transfer list because it would also provide additional funds to improve financial balance.
But seeing Barcelona who are in good condition should also be able to make both of them want to extend their contracts and participate in finishing the season by fighting for the championship title, but from several news media that I read it shows that Barcelona is still giving time limit to make contract extension agreement with them before the transfer window has really opened.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said he trusted Mykhailo Mudryk and that he didn't intentionally take banned substances. And the Ukrainian international is also claiming that he took those substances with no intention to use it to improve his game. This is usually the case for players, they always deny until investigation proves otherwise.

Players salaries in such situations could be complex. In the case of Paul Pogba, his salary was later slashed from €10m per year to €24k yearly. Benjamin Mendy who was accused of rape had his salary stopped by Manchester City all through he had the problem until his contract was terminated. He was lucky to win the case challenging his former club's decision not to pay him and the court instructed the club to pay him. I also believe that Chelsea will not feel the impact of the absence of trust in Mykhailo Mudryk because he has not been consistent in his performance.

Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo are in danger of being put on the transfer list if they don't renew their contracts.

Barcelona will offload some players in the January transfer window because they ought to create room for Hansi Flick who's having one of the good moment with the club. Frankie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have zealed their spot in the starting XI under Hansi Flick but when it comes to consistent performance on the pitch, I don't see any improvement from their ends. Frankie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have both battle with longterm injuries, watching them fold up when it comes to individual stellar performance, it becomes challenging for them to bounce back. It's just a matter of time before these players will be conversant to the story of earning good points and accolades from the supporters and coach.

If Araujo and De Jong are transferred to another team, they will make a serious financial contribution to Barcelona. There are many European teams where both players can be transferred. However, Barcelona should be very careful if they want to let them go. Because both players are good players in their positions. They need to think about whether they can transfer better players instead of them. Otherwise, there is no point in letting them go.

Not only that, De Jong's departure will also reduce the burden on the club because he is one of the highest paid players at Barcelona, ​​De Jong and Araujo are also very susceptible to injury, Hansi Flick also already has other players to replace them. Barcelona are also reportedly looking to sell Christensen to make room for Dani Olmo, as a replacement they have already reached an internal agreement with Jonathan Tah and will realise the transfer when his contract with Leverkusen expires.
The departure of De Jong and Araujo will not reduce Barcelona's strength because Hansi Flick still has Pedri, Gavi, Casado and Fermin Lopez in the midfield position, while in the center-back position, Hansi Flick prefers the duet of Martinez and Pau Cubarsi.

In addition to their fairly high salaries, the contribution of the two players is also not too big because they often get injured, selling to other clubs can increase financial effectiveness so that Barcelona does not need to spend a lot of money.
I agree that the departure of the two players will not affect the team's performance because for that position Barcelona has much better replacement players.
Barcelona must find a way out of the financial problems and they certainly know how, they can use these two players to ensure Barcelona is not burdened with large salary payments.

[Cryptoprincess101]

I am not entirely sure if Chelsea would even care, Mudryk isn't really a must for them, they are winning without him easily, so it doesn't feel like they would care. They famously have a lot of players anyways, that was a talk during the summer, they have like 40+ players or something, probably less now but still a lot, so losing one of them won't matter.

If this was Cole Palmer or Jackson then we would be seeing them in shambles without a doubt, but Mudryk doesn't really feel like he is important enough to care. They would just use that as a reason to unload him and sell him to another team, that has to be the most important part. I believe we are going to end up with a lot more and that has to change on the long run.

Yes, Chelsea doesn't seem to be too bothered by the problems that befell Mudryk, especially since his contribution to The Blues is still lacking, his performance does not reflect his price, so losing him will not affect Chelsea's current performance at all.

Exactly, if he had been impactful to the team they would have felt his situation but since he is less contributive to the team, it won't bother them much. Very sad to see the rate of indiscipline in football is on the rise and i think the FA should review their penalties for anti-doping charges and make it more severe.

However, if Palmer is in that situation, it will indeed be a big loss for Chelsea because he currently plays a big role in every victory achieved by Chelsea.
It seems that if Mudryk really uses doping, we will see another Pogba.

Cole Palmer is a disciplined player both while on the pitch of play and when he is outside, he can't get himself in a controversy that will relate to doping because he knows how important he is to the team and if he engages himself in such act, it could ruin his career and make him irrelevant to the team. He can't really think of doing that.

Since Hansi Flick took over as Barcelona coach and has made a great contribution, I think it is the best way to sell the player and bring in a player who is younger and also has a better physique. I believe that Hansi can choose the right player to replace the two players and strengthen the stability of Barcelona performance. A top team like Barcelona must continue to try to fix every problem and the two players may be the current problem that must be resolved immediately if they really want to compete with Madrid for the title.

My question: how will he be able to quickly prove that he does not use prohibited substances?

There are few cases, perhaps not even 10, in which a football organization accuses an athlete of doping and in the end the athlete manages to prove his innocence. In many cases the case drags on for years and the football organizations reduce the sentence and the athlete is free to play, but no big team accepts the athlete. I feel sorry for him, this is a big nightmare that he will go through.

After that is revealed, it is certain that his career in football is almost completely over because even though he will undergo the legal process related to the ban on playing, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the team to return to being a player after the ban is passed. Improving physical condition may be an excuse often given by players who are caught in doping cases, but can it prove it because there are many players who are actually able to improve their physical condition without using prohibited substances and that is an excuse that I think is unreasonable.

This should be an example for other players because previously we also saw several players who got into trouble after being caught using prohibited substances. It would be a shame if he had to end up in football, but the consequences must be borne if he dares to start.

Frankie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have zealed their spot in the starting XI under Hansi Flick but when it comes to consistent performance on the pitch, I don't see any improvement from their ends.

I think it's impossible to see Barcelona will sell de Jong because Barcelona always retain him even though he played bad, de Jong might retired in Barcelona. Araujo isn't really a good player, sometime he made stupid mistakes, Barcelona should sell him ASAP.

After that is revealed, it is certain that his career in football is almost completely over because even though he will undergo the legal process related to the ban on playing, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the team to return to being a player after the ban is passed.

Not really, Andre Onana also found doping in 2021 when he was still playing for Ajax, look where he's right now, he playing in Manchester United, one of biggest teams in the world.

Cardoso Varela is a good option for them because he recently had a bad relationship with his team and tried to leave Porto, which shows that he was interested in leaving Porto. Barcelona was a fantastic destination for this young player.

It will be very good if Barcelona goes outside and signs young players like the way Real Madrid did and signs Vini Jr, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Valverde and all these key players they have today, Real Madrid invests in young players that they believe their future will be Bright, Real Madrid invest and they are enjoying it today because as the old players of Real Madrid are retiring the young players continue to represent them by continue winning trophies.

Barcelona keeps saying that they don't have and that even makes things difficult for them, about signing this player I don't think Barcelona can sign the player because even if Barcelona signs the player he can't move to the first team because Barcelona can not register some players, there are some news that Barcelona have not register Dani Olmo till now because they don't have money, Barcelona is also trying to sell some players to get more to buy and register some players, I don't even know if Barcelona has a good president.

Professional footballers ought to be very profissional on and off the pitch, their are certain rules guiding football and they need to by them but several footballers allow their personal life outside football to affect their career, they mingle with celebrities outside football that would influence them to break certain football rules and that's very unprofessional. Mudryk is a young and talented player and though he's yet to show his full potential in his present club (Chelsea) he still has lots to offer and it would be so sad to see him get banned if he fails to prove he's innocent,  staying out of football for a long while would affect his form and could even end his football career faster based on the length of the ban he might be given if found guilty. He's one of those players i admire and i hope he's innocent, other young lads should be very careful and learn from what happened to Paul Pogba, they ought to be very professional at all times.

Signing Lookman might be an option to improve Manchester United's attacking line, but will he fit the style of play of Manchester United and the English league?

I think Lookman will be a big upgrade to Manchester United. He's a very good player that has all the qualities of a good winger. He's one of the kind of player Manchester United need. I believe he will fit in to their system because he's a team player and he's hardworking. I like Lookman and I will not advice him to go to Manchester United because the atmosphere there is too toxic.

I think he should he should go to Arsenal. Arsenal is a better team for Lookman. He is an upgrade to bothe Martinelli and Trossard. If one of them can be sold for Lookman then it would be a good signing for the gunners. In a good team, Lookman has the potential to be a top man. If Arsenal can get Lookman together with Saka then they'll have a good attack if they get a striker.

It'd better if Manchester United stops to gamble for another forward. They have to put their focus onto their defensive line. They conceded a lot of goals due to the incompetency from their defensive line. They shall fully concern about how shaky their defensive line is.

It's dumb when you have a lot of forwards, but keep buy a new one without caring more to your defensive line. They can still keep Garnacho to stay much longer, then lined up some good defenders. They can get good defenders to replace their current devensive players. This is gonna be more useful instead of always focusing on the forward.

A top team like Barcelona must continue to try to fix every problem and the two players may be the current problem that must be resolved immediately if they really want to compete with Madrid for the title.

I agree with you that Hansi Flick has been very important to Barcelona success. Selling player and bringing in younger stronger replacement could be smart move. With Flick experience and knowledge I believe he can find right player to make Barcelona stronger and more stable. As one of best teams Barcelona always needs to find ways to improve to stay competitive especially against strong teams like Madrid. If  two players are really problem fixing this problem quickly could be very important for Barcelona to win championship.

It'd better if Manchester United stops to gamble for another forward. They have to put their focus onto their defensive line. They conceded a lot of goals due to the incompetency from their defensive line. They shall fully concern about how shaky their defensive line is.

Like I always say, the defence is not all that needs to be fixed. I agree that the defence needs fixing but even if you buy the best defenders with this current midfield that United have, they will still suffer. A midfield that cannot press constantly to get the ball back, a midfield that cannot keep the ball and let the opponent get frustrated will always make the defence suffer. Thats why I don't even blame Onana when he concedes because no matter how good a keeper you are, with the kind of midfield and defence at United, you'll suffer.

It's dumb when you have a lot of forwards, but keep buy a new one without caring more to your defensive line. They can still keep Garnacho to stay much longer, then lined up some good defenders. They can get good defenders to replace their current devensive players. This is gonna be more useful instead of always focusing on the forward.

I think Manchester united should also focus on their attack. The likes of Rashford and Garnacho can't take them anywhere. Those players are too inconsistent to do anything great in Manchester United. They also need a striker because the 2 strikers hey have are not good enough.
A lot needs to be done to mak that team competitive. Manchester United have a team that can compete for the top 6 but they don't have a team to compete against the Elite in Europe.
