⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bitgolden]

Osimhen to United would vastly improve them without a doubt. I am not sure who would buy Rashford, dude has been not great with bunch of managers now, so it's obvious anyone who has watched United for the past 7-8 years to realize that Rashford isn't what people thought who he was, he is much worse, and there are even reports about him being a locker room disruption as well.

So all in all, I believe that we are going to end up with some issues to find a place to buy him. Maybe they could just get Osimhen right away, like without putting Rashford involved, and they could maybe hope that Osimhen would be enough, and Rashford could be sold during the summer instead, which is a time that's much easier to sell players, compared to winter.

Potter did well with brighton, but when he got a team with better quality at Chelsea, he's flop. This has to be another gamble from Westham.

I'd prefer to see another name such as Xavi, which is jobless now.

Actually all most all managers have done well in the last few years at Brighton and Hove Albion, fair to say it is the system set by the club that makes them to be doing so well. For me Potter was actually a mid table manager for now, although I wouldn’t blame him for the shambles at Chelsea then because the whole club was in total mess then and it wasn’t only about Potter. Even Pochettino had a tough time stablizing them. So for West Ham there is possibility that he could do well. We saw how fortune change after Unai Emery left Arsenal and came back to the premier league even won the Europa League he couldn’t with Arsenal.

Xavi will have been a better option but seriously West Ham can’t get him if you ask me because he will feel his value is above them the only thing that would have bring him there will be hefty wages. For me I think options could be Ole former Manchester United manager, who is out of contract too

Vlahovic for United, this sounds real and most likely to happen. I don't even think Zirkze wanna stays much longer. He has his prime performance at Serie A, and must be the right place for him. He looked so clueless, awful, and mediocre at United. I think he can regain his form if he goes back to serie A. I say yay for this deal.

As for United, they get Vlahovic in return, a worthy striker to be included in Amorim's plan. A good deal for both clubs. None gets disadvantage here.

I don't think this is a good move, because Vlahovic is not in his best form and might be a problem to United that's trying to transform the club. I don't think that the deal is sealed up already but negotiation is still on. When the transfer window opens, we will see the players coming to United.

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, one of the Saudi Pro League’s highest earners if he moves to Al-Nassr this January. The Saudi Arabian side is offering him a whopping 650,000 per week. The player's performance has reduced in recent times and Manchester United will be willing to let him leave for as low as £25 million. SPL sporting director Michael Emenalo has confirmed the news and we might get further details about it in few days.

It's official Westham sent Potter and offer to replace Lopetegui. I totally agreed to take him as the next coach following how crap the hammer's performance under Lopetegui. I'm feeling Potter will suite them better rather than Lopetegui.

We will see whether in the end Potter can regain his momentum as a coach and successfully bring West Ham to a better direction or not because after all for now we all know that Potter is still under the shadow of failure at Chelsea and his poor performance at that time so in the end this clearly provides a situation that can indeed be difficult in the end apart from the pressure to make West Ham better in terms of performance, Potter is also still required to provide a sense of security to the fans that he can still coach well for now.

At least for a smaller club and a club that always gives surprises in the end Potter will be able to experiment more and hopefully his career this time will go very well unlike what he showed at Chelsea before.

We should know the history of Westham United by now because they've been really consistent in the EPL and escaping the relegation zone. This is no coincidence because the club worked hard enough to accomplish their priority. They've the massive support of the fans and this good standards for the club. EPL is for the tougher managers, we're talking about managers that have managed to scale through tough hard times. They deserved every single accolades they're receiving currently. Julen Lopetegui is an important figure in Westham United and his services is highly required. The Hammers are ranked 14th position on the losing table and have been portraying elite performance towards oppositions.

-

i have never understood how Manchester United came to believe that he is worth €100 million. They gave him a contract over five years and paid him more than $10 million per year although he hasn't proven much until then. He scored 18 goals in the Eredivisie and Manchester United went crazy about it. I think it must have been ten Hag who pushed for that transfer.

But contrary to what you posted, the most recent news as is written here state otherwise, actually that Antony refuses to go to Olympiacos on loan. It would be a crisis in his career.

Going to Manchester United at a young age as one of the most promising players in a longe time and then ending up with Olympiacos can only be considered a disaster. In 60 Premier League goals he scored a mere 5 goals. This was one of the most expensive failed transfers in the club history I suppose.

If it wasn't a good signing for Manchester united , but it might be a good one for another team
there are currently 10 other clubs interested in him, with olympiacos being the most determined.
both Manchester United and Anthony need to get out of this bad signing and Anthony will have more opportunities to play and showcase his talents.
as much as anthony would like to stay at United, but, the club and pep don't want him, as can be seen from the number of games he plays at United and which makes it likely that he will be sold.

From all the transfer rumors related to Anthony, I conclude, Manchester United are very serious about getting rid of him. I think Ruben Amorim plan to build squad depth is starting to be implemented gradually, and Anthony is indeed worthy of being included in the January sales list, although Manchester United must bear a big loss. Antony can choose a club that suits his wishes, Manchester United is ready to listen to offers from any club.

This season, with three different managers, Antony has never had the opportunity to play as a starter, because his performance continues to be below the expected standard. Leaving Manchester United is the right step to save his career which is now starting to fade, maybe at a new club Antony can find his best performance again.

So all in all, I believe that we are going to end up with some issues to find a place to buy him. Maybe they could just get Osimhen right away, like without putting Rashford involved, and they could maybe hope that Osimhen would be enough, and Rashford could be sold during the summer instead, which is a time that's much easier to sell players, compared to winter.

I think this is the current problem on ground, as Manchester united must sell some players in order to get new ones. And the problem here is, they overvalued rashford, as they're not ready to let him go for cheap amount, which i don't think most clubs across Europe will consider, considering how poor he has being in terms of performance. And another problem is, Rashford is overpaid, because i'm not sure of why a player like that will be receiving 300-350K, and still not give a top performance. I know some players that will gladly do that for half that amount. Casimero is another player that receives the salary of two players.

And, if United must sign Osimhen, i think it is very important that they get good wingers as well, because Bruno is literally playing out of position. A player like Bruno needs to be in that 8 position, and making those good passes to Osimhen(if eventually they signed him). United just need to put things in order across all positions in the team.

[len01]

I don't think this is a good move, because Vlahovic is not in his best form and might be a problem to United that's trying to transform the club. I don't think that the deal is sealed up already but negotiation is still on. When the transfer window opens, we will see the players coming to United.

The EPL is known as a tough competition league and when players come from other leagues when joining the EPL, they will definitely have a little difficulty when the competition is very competitive. Well, that's what happened to Zirkzee who was considered to be impressive but in fact could not do anything. This could also happen to Vlahovic when he later comes and joins MU, he may not be able to become the player we expect. But it all depends on how the coach rotates the players and how big the mentality of the player is. As long as the agreement has been made and Vlahovic officially joins MU, I hope Amorim can provide the right direction for the attacking player.

It's official Westham sent Potter and offer to replace Rategui. I totally agreed to take him as the next coach following how crap the hammer's performance under Rategui. I'm feeling Potter will suite them better rather than Rategui.

I believe hummer fans are also impatient waiting for the announcement Potter's decision. The only problem is with Sullivan, he may become the reason if Potter rejects Hammer's offer.

It's enough for Rategui to stay there, and he must fuck off. It's time to see potter ball back to the PL again. 

Check this pal Julen Lopetegui, you'd see that before his move to Westham United he was completely done with this managerial something. He was poor with Sevilla,  poor with Wolverhampton and now with Westham United despite the top signatures they made this season both in defense and attack. I have less to say now because,  he should have been sacked since but that win against Manchester United earlier this season bought him time.

Graham Potter is a good option. People will say this and that bit he is not a manager for a big club but the average underdogs in the Premier League competition. Go see how he did with Brighton. I think he has what he takes to bring them back to the top ten clubs in the premier league. Hand him the contract already hammers.

Westham should have appointed Graham Porter when David Moyes was sacked. They shouldn't have opted for Julen Lopetegui. Maybe they were convinced that he will do better for them since he is a Spanish manager. They wanted to take same path with Aston villa when they appointed Unai Emery. Graham Potter has a good track record with Brighton before he put a stain in CV when he took over the Chelsea job. But if he is appointed the coach of Westham I believe that he will do better for them. The pressure on Chelsea was too much for him, but Westham as a club doesn't have much demand. Although I'm not sorry for Westham misfortunes in recent times. When a club suddenly becomes too ambitious they usually run into trouble. If they had allowed Moyes to continue with them, I don't think they would have been in this situation they are right now. Let's hope Graham Potter still have that magic that will turn things around for them, if they finally decide to hand him the job.

Manchester City player Issa Kaboré, who went to Benfica on loan, was not bought by Benfica and is now being loaned out again, this time to Werder Bremen.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1876273520575197629

Manchester City went through a performance crisis, but they still don't need Issa Kaboré's services. I hope he tries harder and gets the attention of a big Bundesliga team that will buy him permanently, because my intuition tells me that Werder Bremen won't buy him. Unfortunately, not every player is very lucky, and in Issa Kaboré's case, he was very unlucky.

With the crisis Manchester City are passing through and with injury problems too I see any they still keep on loaning a versatile defender like Isaa Kaboré - a player who is capable of playing either as a central back, right back and sometimes as a defensive midfielder making him a perfect fit for Guardiola’s struggling team.

I wonder why Guardiola does not want such a player given to his skills. I think Manchester City should sell him and stop loaning him so he can focus in a particular club and continue his progress as he is still young and have plenty of years to offer.

We understand the concerns of most Galatasaray fans but we also have to realise that Osimhen is only a loan player who can leave at any time.
Manchester United might be serious about Osimhen and they've made an approach much more likely to sign him and it really depends on Napoli's decision. Galatasaray may need to buy another striker if Osimhen really leaves because Batshuayi is not one of the best strikers ever, especially with Icardi's injury, so with conditions like this, the club will definitely consider buying another striker as a step to maximize the front line to be more solid.

"Leave anytime" isn't how contracts work, if Galatasaray doesn't want him to leave, they do have the right to keep him, there is no January exit clause at all. Its been established and known ever since he joined, so if Galatasaray wants to keep him, then they can. But at the same time, who would want to keep a player who wants to leave? That would be stupid, so its all about Osimhen, but so far he seems like he isn't leaving, well not for United at least, he may leave, but probably for another team, like maybe PSG, which looks like a bigger candidate.

[Cookdata]

Osimhen to United would vastly improve them without a doubt. I am not sure who would buy Rashford, dude has been not great with bunch of managers now, so it's obvious anyone who has watched United for the past 7-8 years to realize that Rashford isn't what people thought who he was, he is much worse, and there are even reports about him being a locker room disruption as well.

I have seen a lot of contributions from people saying how Osimhen contributions will change Manchester United but the question is this? Is Osimhen want to be in Manchester United. The last time the club wanted him, they presented him with a very low salary which means they are only interest in what he can offer them not really like his personality because if it has been there favourite players as their own, they will rush to have him but the club is looking for a slave they can use like thet want.

Osimhen went to Galatasaray because they were the only team that was interested to pay his fees and also agreed to take him from Napoli and people think he will honor Manchester United because they think they are Manchester, I'm sorry my friend but the body languages say it all that Osimhen wouldn't be coming to Manchester United  even if there is a delegation to persuade him.

He looked so clueless, awful, and mediocre at United. I think he can regain his form if he goes back to serie A. I say yay for this deal.

I've actually came across this news like since yesterday and Im not sure what the hell am I reading because Vlahovic has scored 12 goals for Juventus so far across all competition this season so even if they want Zirkzee, it just seems to good to be true for us. Juventus could still get Zirkzee without even trading Vlahovic for it, I mean after the last game where Zirkzee got sent off pretty early that was actually a statement that Amorim doesnt want Zirkzee on his team anymore

Either way, Im looking forward for this rumour to settle

That would be stupid, so its all about Osimhen, but so far he seems like he isn't leaving, well not for United at least, he may leave, but probably for another team, like maybe PSG, which looks like a bigger candidate.

Which team would have such a player in their squad and allow him leave when his contract with them is not expired, even if it were Manchester United or PSG, would they? Victor Osimhen has made so much impact at Galatasaray and letting him leave at this point would be a big lose to them this season, it means they'll have to start searching for another replacement which would be very tough due to Osimhens form, finding a player as good as him won't be easy this January, so they'll try to persuade Osimhen to stay till the season ends. Manchester United and PSG are in desperate need of a striker and they won't back off if an opportunity to sign Osimhen arises. I've seen rumors of United trying to do a swap deal with Osimhen and Marcus Rashford but i don't really believe it since it's not official and Napoli haven't confirmed it yet, moreover Osimhen have not openly shown any interest of leaving Galatasaray yet. Well, i think Osimhen's most likely destination would be PSG cause the most capable of paying for his transfer fee and wages without stress.

[Fiatless]

I have seen a lot of contributions from people saying how Osimhen contributions will change Manchester United but the question is this? Is Osimhen want to be in Manchester United. The last time the club wanted him, they presented him with a very low salary which means they are only interest in what he can offer them not really like his personality because if it has been there favourite players as their own, they will rush to have him but the club is looking for a slave they can use like thet want.

The decision to sign a player depends on so many factors which include the choice of the coach, the financial standing of the club and the decision of the club management. I don't think Erik Ten Hag saw Victor Osimhen as a major target in the last transfer opening. Secondly, the club needs to ascertain if they will violate the financial fair play if they pay the Nigerians higher wages. The decision of the top management regarding his transfer is because they need to be comfortable with his signing.

Victor is not a player that can be exploited because he is a world-class player and knows what he wants. He once said that he would remain in Galastataray till the end of the season because they gave him a lifeline and welcomed him and his family with an open hand.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Blaming the coach would be too short-sighted. Amorim has made a mistake that I think can be excused because of the money. He was a coach for Sporting, probably at 3-4 million a year, then Manchester United asked for him and offered him 10 million a year. From a human being perspective, honestly I would have done the same.

Bit in retrospect I think one day he might think that it would have been more exciting to push through with Sporting than to get destroyed with Manchester United. But in the moment money is king and he went for it.

What happens is that all the emotions are on edge because they need to win no matter what, and a losing streak like the one they've had is something that doesn't go down well, especially when they started off on the right foot, so you shouldn't judge them so harshly, but right now MU urgently needs to win, relegation is right there knocking on their door, and that's causing a lot of anger in many, but I've seen that they had a good draw against Liverpool and Liverpudlian is the best in the PL so far, they beat City and why don't they win often? They need it, they can't let their guard down, especially since Ten Hag did them terrible damage because they had to fire him before the season started.

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, one of the Saudi Pro League’s highest earners if he moves to Al-Nassr this January. The Saudi Arabian side is offering him a whopping 650,000 per week. The player's performance has reduced in recent times and Manchester United will be willing to let him leave for as low as £25 million. SPL sporting director Michael Emenalo has confirmed the news and we might get further details about it in few days.

It is not strange that players who have declined in Europe will be attracted to Saudi Arabia to boost their popularity again, Arab clubs do have large finances so it would not be surprising if he received a salary of 650K per week.

Casemiro is 32 years old and his performance on the pitch will definitely decline but in the SPL he may still be needed because the league is not so tight, but it is his last way to earn more money before retiring.

That salary is almost double what he currently receives from Manchester United, Al Nassr is offering a figure that Casemiro finds hard to refuse. Manchester United appear to be trying to clear the warehouse, overhauling the squad depth inherited from Ten Hag, and Ruben Amorim seems to no longer need Casemiro at Old Trafford. In a less competitive league, Casemiro seems to have no trouble adapting, Al Nassr will benefit greatly from his signing. It is commonplace, the Saudi Pro League is currently the choice for players like Casemiro, the right step before entering retirement.

It is commonplace, the Saudi Pro League is currently the choice for players like Casemiro, the right step before entering retirement.

Casemiro career is done the moment he left Real Madrid, I don't know why Manchester United took the deal of €70 million on that guy but I blame it On Erik that is so desperate and foolish in making good calls. Casemiro just had some time and was taking the team along but such deal should have been free in my opinion but I'm sure he wouldn't be here in the first place if the deal was a free agent for him to come to Manchester united, very pathetic for this club.

I think Manchester United have bad taste in assembling players, Amorim just flush out the players to create a new phase of Manchester United, enough of this gimmicks and excuses, he should helps the teams return the team former glory atleast makes Manchester United a better place. If there is more opportunities for loan, the team must not hesitate to let them go to another club if they come for them, it better that way they bring in revenue to build new players to the team.
