⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[beerlover]

What Manchester United are doing terribly right now is their defense, or maybe it's not right to blame one of the lines if the team is playing badly. Amorim understands how bad everything is, he himself mentions it, that there has never been such a bad MU, I admit that he may even regret leaving Sporting, everything was great for him there and they were moving towards becoming champions again, and here he has huge problems that he doesn't know how to solve.

To be fair, even the manager came out and said they are terrible, so it's clear that they are not really doing that well, we are all aware of it and they are aware of it as well. At the very least, the biggest difference between Amorim and ETH is that Amorim at least said "WE", if ETH lost this game, he would just go out and said "well I am the manager that won 2 cups with this team and beat City to get FA cup, so obviously the players are playing terrible and I am not the issue here" or something, trying to save himself, whereas Amorim actually says WE, meaning that yeah things are terrible but Amorim puts himself in there along with the players as well, that's the most important part and as long as that happens, the team will recover, because Amorim is taking blame too.

Finally, it's now being confirmed that Manchester United and Brazilian winger Antony will join Real Betis on loan till the end of the season. Personally, I think this is a good move for the former Ajax player because at Real Betis, he'll likely get playing time to prove himself so I expect him to use the remaining months of the season to improve himself so he can either be recalled by Manchester United at the end of the season or join another top European club when his loan deal is finally expired. What do you make of this move? Let me read your thoughts

True, this will be a very good decision because after all for now he will be very difficult to get a chance with Amorim so rather than being forced it would be better for him to seek new experiences in a different league because in the end the EPL seems too hard for Antony because he cannot develop better at Manchester United.

But at Sociedad also for now he still has to compete harder because after all in the same position for winger they still have several players including for Kubo who can always be relied on with his speed.

But indeed hopefully this will be a good choice and there is indeed such a possibility if you see from previous colleagues where Greenwood can play well in La Liga then hopefully Antony feels the same for his current loan period.

Napoli and Chelsea both are pushing for Garnacho by the way. Manchester United is ready to listen to reasonable offers. Napoli offered 40 million pounds first but the Red Devils expects a sum around 60 million.

Chelsea doesn't need him, there's no place for him in the club as Chelsea already has too many players and are already finding it hard to give all of them quality playing time. Some players are deciding to leave Chelsea to other clubs to get quality playing time. Chelsea only needs a striker but I don't see any strong news about them going to look for a striker that they can depend on to keep their hopes of a top 4 finish high as it's not looking good for them. Garnacho is a very young player and need alot of playing time which he isn't going to get at Chelsea due to the depth of the squad that they already have. His career is going to slow down if he goes to Chelsea.

Incredible how Antony from a potential phenomenal player became a meme player.
What went wrong?

Finally Arsenal is getting a striker and I think that is good news for them if the deal is successful. Arteta have been fooling around for too long relying on Havertz and thinking he can win the league but it’s high time he stops deceiving himself and get a goal scorer to help the team. Sesko is not a bad striker and I believe he can help the team so now I am looking to see how well Arsenal will perform when the deal is done. Barcelona have eyes for good players but their financial situation is weighing them down so I don’t think they can challenge Arsenal for his signature.

A loan move will not be bad for Antony at least he will have more playing time and an opportunity to prove himself and improve his game. We are all surprised how Antony became a laughing stock since joining Manchester United, he was a talented player with prospects to shine but no one knows what went wrong. I hope he can redeem himself with this loan move.

Khusanov Abdulkodir of RC Lens have been welcomed to Manchester City after a successful transfer was reached with a contract agreement which lasts until 2029. This news have been made official across several quarters and when the 20 year old defender was asked about this new development, he showed his gratitude to have gotten the opportunity to play under the Manchester City top team, appreciating the rare opportunity of being trained under the tutelage of one of the world-class manager like Pep Guardiola.

I think it was a fair deal for both the club and player to have secured a $40 million + deal with Manchester City under the age of 20 and to become the first Uzbeki player to land a Premier League deal and play in the Manchester City. He's the first to be signed by the City this year on the January window and will be playing Jersey No. 45 as a defender.

I have spoken to some Manchester United supporters and many of them seem to be excited about this move, for them it feels like a heavy burden dropped off their shoulders. This is a good move and beneficial to the player who has struggled to get playing time. Lol I will miss Anthony, who else will be spinning 360 with the ball.

Anthony Santos is one of the transfers made by Ten Hag that took some bucks out of Manchester United pockets but saw little effect at the end of the day. Anthony was bought into Manchester United on a deal worth over $100 million and while his stay in the club he got a couple of goals, but now the club needs more money and also needs to offset some burdens while it tries out on new players to come on board. I don't see the decision made by Amorim as wrong unless if he doesn't make better decisions thereafter.

His career is going to slow down if he goes to Chelsea.

Garnacho is a good prospect with load of raw football talent but he's yet to get to his peak, i believe with the right manger that suits his pattern of play he'll excel, after watching him on several occasion in this 2nd section of the league i figured out that it would be quite tough for him to pick up, however Amorim is aware that patience would bring success in the future but he needs quick result, he only got few years left on his contract and Manchester United board might not be merciful if it gets to a point where he requires sacking, it would be sad if it gets to that point  cause Amorim is loved by lots of fans, they want him to succed and it would hurt them. Anyways I've heard rumores about Chelsea gling after Garnacho and it makes me wonder if they really need another wonger instead of a striker, Napoli are leading the chase for Garnacho, they've tabled two bills and Manchester United are yet to accept the offers unless they top it up. If there's any club to sign Garnacho it's most likely Napoli.

He was going to say it be because he didn't form that squad in the first place. No manager will say bad about what he form with his hands because there is going to be a lot of criticism simce he was the one who pick them from their respective club and brought them to Manchester United, this is why even when the team were worse under ETH, he has never made a bad comments, he always believes in the players till his last day as the manager of the club.

If Amorim thinks this combination is bad and worse, there is no problem, they should atleast finish the season in a good place so they can come back again next season in the Premier League. Where there is going to be problem is if by next season he is unable to do a better thing with his next signees, that's where there is going to be a big problem. I never expected how he was going to coach team that beat his previous team twice in a row but time will tell.

Arteta have been fooling around for too long relying on Havertz and thinking he can win the league but it’s high time he stops deceiving himself and get a goal scorer to help the team. Sesko is not a bad striker and I believe he can help the team so now I am looking to see how well Arsenal will perform when the deal is done. Barcelona have eyes for good players but their financial situation is weighing them down so I don’t think they can challenge Arsenal for his signature.

I can’t believe this until the deal is sealed because I know Arsenal and how they are doing when signing players especially if the player is expensive; you can remember how Declan Rice deal went last two seasons transfer window.

If the deal of Benjamin Sesko is successful, then we can hope for Arsenal to try their best in winning the Premier League this season, but if they fooled their fans again, it will be difficult to trust the process again because it is obvious that Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are not reliable for big team like Arsenal.

A loan move will not be bad for Antony at least he will have more playing time and an opportunity to prove himself and improve his game. We are all surprised how Antony became a laughing stock since joining Manchester United, he was a talented player with prospects to shine but no one knows what went wrong. I hope he can redeem himself with this loan move.

A great move for Antony, he should even consider leaving Manchester United on a permanent deal because Manchester United fans don’t like him and his performance is below standard considering the huge sum of money they signed him back then from Ajax.
However, he can gain more experience to fight back for his position, but I think Manchester United is letting all these players just to raise money for a better player.

Incredible how Antony from a potential phenomenal player became a meme player.

His move to Manchester United was a mistake because Antony's performance in the end became very bad and even seemed to be ridiculed for now because he was at Manchester United.

To be honest, in the end, the performance on the field is not only based on one player but indeed the poor performance of Mancehster United makes Antony's condition also follow which makes him unable to develop in the EPL.

In addition, he does not seem too suitable to be in the EPL even though as you said he was at Ajax is one of the players who has very good talent and even quite promising as a player but his desire to reunite with Ten Hag in the end destroyed the performance that had been very well established in the Eredivisie for Antony.

[red4slash]

Yes, Arsenal need a much sharper striker. Goyokeres has long been associated with Arsenal's transfer market, but the rumor is still not real.

However, this time we hear a rumor that Arsenal is now targeting Benjamin Sesko. and they are assessing him. However, RB Leipzig has denied the rumor and stated that there has been no discussion about it. It means that this transfer will no probably for this January, whereas, Arsenal needs it as soon as possible.

Sesko can be a very good option for Arsenal because after all he is currently one of the young players who has very good potential so that when in the end Goyokeres cannot be used as a target player for several reasons, Sesko can be a very good option.

Arsenal currently still have several attacking players but indeed they still cannot contribute well and it seems that the presence of this new striker will also make some players like Gabriel Jesus could lose their position later.
Their midfield is actually quite good for Arsenal especially until now Odegaard is still very able to maintain the condition of the midfield but Arsenal are still troubled for finishing problems so Sesko can be an option even though in the end this is also not easy and will definitely be very expensive to get by Arsenal.

[Roseline492]

This is good news and it will be really exciting if Arteta can finally seal this deal for good. Arsenal have suffered in recent games to maintain winning ways, the team has suffered injury woes this season including losing their key player in attack Bukayo Saka who is injured and sidelined for weeks. Hopefully this signing will improve the squad and their performance level going forward if the deal can be realised.

When a coach sees what will bring good for them they make sure they go extra mile to make sure the good remain and not just on seasonal basis but constantly, so for Arteta to notice Sesko means that he has seen the good he can bring for them, however not just only Arsenal that should be happy but also Sesko because I no that a lot of players would have wish for Arsenal to see them as there first choice but they did not, so I'm glad that Sesko will be leaving his current league after several season, however I noticed that this wasn't the first season Arsenal wanted him because i think they made an effort last season but maybe because of rival they did not get him.

Arsenal's attitude towards this transfer window might end up disappointing the fans because from the look of things, it doesn't look like they are going to sign any player. We keep seeing heavy rumors of links with Arsenal and different players, but still, nothing concrete.

From my observations, players are still very much available in this transfer window, and almost all players can make a move only for the right amount. Sesko's agent, sometime last week said that his player (Sesko) can not go for a loan, and they haven't received/started any discussion with other teams concerning the player, which still proves that Arsenal hasn't taken any step at all.

Like I said, every player can leave for the right amount, so there is a big chance that sesko might leave this January for the right amount. If arsenal wants to splash, they need to do it now at all cost.

I really like Amorim character in the interview after the defeat to Brighton, he looks very genius in positioning himself as an inseparable part of the players who experienced defeat. The statement contains many meanings, which can be interpreted differently by people who follow Man United development. And in essence it can be concluded as a form of recognition that they need to work harder in the future.

Amorim gives what the media crew wants, and indirectly the message will reach everyone involved in the team through the headlines. I think Amorim statement will be incentive for the players so that they give their best to rise. I agree with people who assume that Amorim is playing his cards. While Ten Hag has a different character, he likes to find a scapegoat to blame when his team suffers defeat.

 I just saw a news that Chelsea have agreed a deal sign 18-year-old Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg but that the teenager will remain at his current club till the end of the season. I think Chelsea have signed too many players in recent times to still be signing a young defender like Sarr. They recently recalled Trevor Chalobah and also have few other top center backs including Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo Wesley Fofana and others. These are all young players who I think have the ability to help Chelsea conquer the world. What could be the club management's reason of going for another defender again? Let me read your thoughts about this move by Chelsea

The management of Chelsea under the current owner of Chelsea football club Todd Boehly is both into entertainment and another level of business with Chelsea, which is basically into buying of young players and grooming them to sell when their values must have have increased thereby targeting to make huge profits from selling these players at their pick time. Now Chelsea is filled with number of young players.

To be honest I don't see this has our top priority, we need some experience and stable defenders to guide these youngsters but still yet while some has potential some are just too disappointing that we have to give up on them like Disasi and Badiashile. I think the pressure is weighing on them they need to go try themselves in smaller teams, Chelsea can't compete with these defenders we need experienced also, if we want to compete with global teams like before.

But the most important thing that Man United must do is release some of its players to increase its finances because according to reports Man United also does not have much money to spend and the price of players on the market is currently very expensive and Man United must do something for income and release the players that Amorin wants but if not then Man United this season will not be able to reach the top 10 of the Premier League standings.

Some players must be released who do not fit Amorim's criteria so that they can recruit other players who are needed because if they retain players who do not have the same playing vision then Manchester United's performance will not develop. The midfield and attack may need to look for other players because those available do not show a match with the style of play applied by Amorim. The target that Amorim must do is finish above the top 10 of the standings and that is a slightly more difficult job if not supported by players who have good abilities.

I agree that Manchester United needs to make some changes to their team. They should let go of players who do not fit with what Ruben Amorin wants. This will allow them to bring in new players who share his ideas about how to play. Midfield and attack need some new players because ones they have now do not seem to be working well with Amorin style. To reach Amorin goal of finishing in top 10 Manchester United needs players with right skills. By signing new players and getting rid of ones who are not doing well team can improve and do better.

Rumors that Neymar will leave his current club Al Hilal and move to another club have been going on for quite some time, but there was no definite information about which club Neymar will go to next, but now it is very certain. Many thought that Neymar could play with Messi again, but that idea is wrong. Neymar will go back to where he started his football career ie Santos FC will be the next destination. Neymar could have done well for any club if he hadn't had so many injury problems. His injury problems started since he moved to PSG and his injury problems were never short-term but long-term. He got injured after joining Al Hilal and is still injured. Let's hope that he is injury free after his move to Santos FC and that he can perform well.

Do you think Chelsea will be the same as Dortmund from the Bundesliga who seem to use football for profit, I actually think the steps taken by Chelsea are to rotate players and have squad with better regeneration in the future because young players will develop and have experience there so that when they are ready they can play well without having to adapt.
Bringing in several young players is not the first time because previously they always targeted and were more interested in young players, maybe because the price can still be relatively low and there is big plan for the long term, we just think positively considering that now they have managed to find point of improving conditions on the right path.

Amorim must be brave in making decisions to release players who do not contribute to the team or are mediocre and do not meet the standards to fill his squad in order to build a stronger foundation to bring the club back to winning ways. Building the ideal team requires patience, but with the right steps, Man United revival is not impossible.
The front line needs to be refreshed, reportedly Man United will release Antony to Real Betis on loan because he often stops United attacks due to slow and unintelligent decisions. Maybe some other players who will be released are Mason Mount, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Rashford.
