⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Abu-Naim]

People spread an hype about Pogba earlier after his recovery. They said he would make a great comeback and start playing professional football again soon. But what happened later on? Still 0 deal for him. 

I know it hasn't been a long time since his ban ended. We aren't in a transfer window now either. But I mean he is free agent now. Like for 3 whole months. Some team could have just signed a contract with him to start as of this summer.

Let's see what upcoming days bring us. But I don't expect him to perform like in his prime anymore...

The Lyon president is afraid of the risk, and not taking the risk for the team might caused them the player because he is still good even though he has been without professional football for long.
I am expecting a better deal for Paul Pogba anytime soon, let’s just wait for the season to end because so many team might have plans for him especially as he is a fee player that will cost them less amount of money compared to signing someone without such experience and will need more time to adapt and they have to pay for the player and other stress.

Many teams are considering injury and maybe match rustiness since he has been without official professional footballer, therefore, I will expect one big team to sign him in order to guide their young midfielders for a while because he can’t be given long term contract because I don’t think he is also coming back to stay long.

The goalkeeper position has long been in need of strengthening at Manchester United, but since it is not the only position that requires changes, they first thought about strengthening the attack. It is clear that Amorim is not against letting Onan go, I even think that he is smart enough to understand that he needs another goalkeeper if he wants to build a strong team. The summer transfer window will show how much Amorim is able to change the team, or what funding he will receive for this.

I think goal keeper must be Manchester United's priority. It's as important as finding a new striker. That's because Amorim's pattern is also building from the back. If they have no quality goal keeper, they will always conceded many goals in any season. They need a quality goal keeper to ensure they will be find when they get high pressure by their opponent.

I understand you put striker as their urgency, but they have been doing it a few tiems, and it's all flops. If they can't really build good attack, they can at least have good defense.

A tree cannot make a forest i.e Onana needs a strong defense for him to be able to do his job properly. He was very good in Inter, which was why he was brought over to United. However, since he came to United we haven't seen the best of him because of the ongoing drama in United team. Their performance will also affect the performance of Onana, let him be given another opportunity to prove himself.

I usually notice that some of Manchester United fans are complaining about Onana saying that is not good at goalkeeper. And they didn't notice that the main problem is on the defense line, if your defense are good definitely your keeper most turn up and do well. Onana is a good goalkeeper since he came to Manchester United. When he started keeping for Manchester United that is when I started seeing is poor performance but I won't blame him because all Manchester United players are facing tough times this season, and he willing definitely affect the keeper too. Amorim just need to try and buy new strikers and defenders that are good,  Manchester United midfielders are okay is only strikers and defenders that is very weak. if Amorim will sigh new key players next season he will definitely make Manchester united stronger and probably win titles for the them.

He will be back and will be very determined to prove a point. Even though currently no team is showing an interests in him, it is just a matter of time before a club gives him a try and then if he performs very well there another club in a bigger league may also consider him although I do not think that he would be an option for the bigger clubs in the bigger leagues because those clubs currently have the transfer plan of looking towards younger players who may have to play with them for a couple of years before they become old and maybe decide to retire and move to another club.

For a couple of days now Fabrizio Romano has been posting that the Brazil national team are strongly interested in signing Carlo Ancelotti from Real Madrid, and we all know that if Fabrizio posts it, it is 99.9% correct.

That said, what do you guys think, do you think Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid at the end of this season and coach a national team for the first time, it will be interesting to see such a successful coach manage a national team and he might just be successful there too.

In my opinion, I think it is impossible for the Real Madrid coach to leave Real Madrid to become the national coach of Argentina.

- the language barrier

- the fact that the Real Madrid coach has not been the coach of any team in the Brazilian football league

- the fact that the Real Madrid coach's contract does not end anytime soon

These are the reasons why Carlo Ancelotti will not become the national coach of Brazil. In my opinion, there is a high chance that the current coach of Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus, will become the national coach of Brazil. He speaks Portuguese because he is from Portugal. He was once the coach of Flamengo, a team in the Brazilian football league, and he managed to help Flamengo win important titles.

According to the latest news by Fichajes, Manchester United is pursuing Cunha. I dunno what's United fans will feel if this news news is true.

I rated Cunha as average striker, yet he is a very problematic striker. He has non sense release clause, which is not worth with his performance. It's crazy if they keen in signing him as a new striker, while they can pick a better one.

He is a temperamental striker, and regularly banned by PL due to the bad behavior.  If they really try to break his release clause, it's gonna be the biggest news ever.

Yep they are back to gambling with their attacking line by trying to bring in another ordinary player.
Although it cannot be denied that for now Cunha is actually still quite sharp with his young age because at Wolves he has scored 13 goals in 26 appearances which means his goal ratio is quite good where 0.5 goals per match but indeed it is still too ordinary for a big club like Manchester United.

It seems they still haven't learned from their mistakes where previously bringing in Hojlund and Zirkzee quickly did not end well but hopefully this is the right decision for Manchester United because it cannot be denied that for now they need a targetman who really has a good goal scoring instinct to make his performance in goal productivity better than it is now.

For a player who was banned from playing professional football for over a year and the fact that he's now over 30 years of age, I understand why many clubs clubs are reluctant on signing the Frenchman. But I have a strong opinion that Pogba's return will likely shock everyone who thinks he'll not be fit enough to play quality football again. For Olympic Marseille management, I think it would've been more honourable if they had hid their dealing with Pogba from the public. This statement I think is trying to demarket the Frenchman and discourage other clubs who are interested in signing him

Paul Pogba was banned from football and he's been out for lengthy period of time, what makes us believe he's going to either fade away just like other players flopped and on a second thought, what are the other odds that have been consider to necessary for the Frenchman to bounce back? Well everything depends on Paul Pogba, he can either become a solid player who's searching for greener pastures in these leagues. They're serving him as outcast and these elite teams didn't include him on their radar, I guess alot is happening in the live of Paul Pogba, but he's strong and ready to fight any hurdle.

[trendcoin]

...
If I were Pogba if there is no offer, I would play for any club for free. What he needs to do now is to assure clubs that he can still play top-class football. By playing free for a club, he would showcase his skills, which will attract clubs that will be willing to pay for his services. He is just like a new product that needs advertisement to convince customers to buy it.
...

He doesn't have to play for free, but he has to lower his criteria and expectations. Clubs at the level of Marseille could be ideal for him, but he may have to make some concessions in terms of annual salary. Probably in the last years of his career. After a season of trying himself at a Marseille level club, he could make a transfer outside Europe to earn more money...

[EL MOHA]

I think he is not the right striker for Man Utd. Maybe a cheaper option but if they want to build a great team they need someone like Isak or Gyokeres someone that can do big things. I agree he has a temper and thats why he didnt play in a lot of games for Wolves this season.

Cunha isn’t a striker he is a winger for Wolves and we all know that Manchester United are in search of both a winger and striker. Matheus Cunha has been the brightest player in the Wolves team who have been too poor this season in the premier league and sit just above the relegation zone. For me the Brazilian is an absolute gem of a player and with him already having premier league experience it is an absolute sell for him to join Manchester United. But one thing i am definitely worry about which is his valuation, I think with his recent contract signing the club will have him placed on high value and if so it’s a deal Manchester United can actually sit out and then go for other options.

But regardless should Manchester United get Cunha there left wing side will be a little bit competitive with only Alejandro Gernacho the only winger, Cunha can simply play in this Amorim pattern but the major problem is he has always been called out for some certain characteristics behaviors and it is usually typical of the current Brazilian players to have such traits of been untouchable in a team

It is surprising that Manchester United are interested in signing Matheus Cunha, they would be better off keeping Hojulund without having to sweat in the transfer market. Alexander Isak, Gyokeres or Osimhen are the strikers who should be The Red Devils main targets, although their prices are not cheap, but I think their quality is worth the money spent. We realize that Ruben Amorim is not given the same authority as Ten Hag who is free to make his own choices when entering the transfer market, and signing Matheus Cunha is a decision that must be accepted. Maybe it is more in line with Manchester United finances.

Onana was a good goalkeeper when he was in Ajax and Inter Milan. His performance is declining a bit when he joined Man United. Sure, one of the reasons because of the bad quality of Man United defense. It makes Onana to have many conceded goals. If Amorim wants to strengthen Man United defense, the solution isn't replacing Onana but he must sign new quality defenders.

Anyway, fans has the right to complain. But the decision is in Man United board and the coach. As long as Amorim has no problem with Onana, we don't worry with the future of Onana in Man United.

Real Madrid really deserves appreciation in terms of buying players, they are very smart so that the players they get can be obtained for free. Real Madrid actually intended to buy Trent Alexander-Arnold last January because Carvajal had an ACL injury, but Liverpool rejected it. Maybe at that time the consideration was that Liverpool still needed TAA for the rest of the season to be able to win trophies. Even though the risk was released for free and now it has been proven.

Liverpool's decision was strange, but if viewed subjectively. Maybe Liverpool had thought about the risks, and of course Liverpool had tried hard so that Trent Alexander-Arnold would not leave with "free transfer" status, but the player had already wanted to leave to pursue his dream. On the other hand, maybe the wisdom for Liverpool is that Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid allows Liverpool to have a bigger budget (from Trent Alexander-Arnold's salary) to extend Moh Salah and Van Dijk's contracts.

Exactly, Real Madrid's strategy regarding through the signing is absolutely appreciable. Like all the time they sign big Star with Zero penny. Papa Perez is a very good dealer. For many years, he has signed big players as free agents. i.e., David Alaba, Rodiger, and Killyan Mbappe, and now it is Trent Alexander-Arnold's turn. These are all the star players who have been signed as free agents. Literally, there is no club that can sign such a big player for free. Real Madrid's signing strategy is really excellent and commendable.

As for Liverpool, two big players are definitely close to leaving. TTA is moving to Real Madrid and Salah has also expressed his desire to leave the club. Now they will need to bring in a new player who can fill the place of the departing player.

He used to be a great midfielder, but at the moment I doubt he can perform like he used to. Not being on the pitch for a long time can be a problem, even if it is not due to injury and he is still able to train, , but it's still not the same as if he was always on the pitch. So it is quite reasonable that no club has made an offer to him because that would be the same as making a speculation that could end in failure.

Pogba is indeed one of the best midfielders in Europe and his best career was achieved when he managed to bring his country to win the World Cup. At club level no one doubts Pogba's ability, but unfortunately he ruined his career by being involved in doping and most importantly he was prone to injury while at Juventus, this problem also made his quality decline.

For now there is no team for Pogba to return to playing football so it's a little harder for him to prove that his career is not over and I hope he finds a new team in the next transfer market.

Many clubs will be sceptical of signing the French midfielder because of his reputation challenge. His drug ban has tarnished his image and it will take some time for him to recover his image. I don't know if he has had any offers from the Saudi Professional League and Major League Soccer. They would have been the best leagues to sign such an experienced player. There are also reservations that his performance might have reduced since has been out of football for a long time. The club signed former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood after his rape case was dropped. I thought Roberto De Zerbi would have signed Paul Pogba just like they revitalized Greenwood.

Paul Pogba was a good midfielder before his drug addiction and had a lot of personal reputation at the time, but one mistake ruined all his honor. He was banned because his current club terminated his contract as they did not want to keep a player who could tarnish the club's image. Now the French midfielder is back from suspension but no club has signed him officially so far.  Sometimes I hear a lot of rumors that many clubs are interested in signing this French midfielder but I have definitely not seen any club come forward that the club has offered this player to play for their club. In Europe I don't really see much potential for this player so then the next destination might be the Saudi League. But there is a lot of discussion about which club he can play for if his next destination is in the Saudi League.

If Paul Pogba has maintained himself well during this period and has not neglected his training, I still think he is a player of quality who can play in the best teams in the world. Of course, the period when he was banned from football must have been very painful for him. Now he will return to football with more hunger and wants success. It is not yet clear which team will transfer him, but I think he will be successful in the team he will play for.

Onana made too many individual mistakes. Of course, we can talk about the inadequacy of defenders, but he is criticized a lot by the fans because he made individual mistakes. Manchester United lost points in some matches because of Onana. If you are a goalkeeper for a team in the Premier League, you can make a few mistakes. However, Onana made too many mistakes to exceed these mistakes.

[X-ray]

I obviously supporting Real Madrid's plan to send their young lads to play in the premier league. I believe that will be a very good decision for those players. They can get new exp by playing at one of competitive league other than La Liga, also helped them so much to develop themselves.

They send two players as loan, and they got Dean Huijsen in return. It's a win win solution considering those players are playing at Bourne for several years only.

I hope madrid does it.

Who wouldn't want to join Real Madrid? I think the players will be very happy even if they have to sacrifice until the end of the contract. Several transfers were made by Madrid at such moments. So I think there are two sides that are mutually beneficial.
Another news is that Nottingham Forest is ready to join the hunt for Galatasaray loan striker Victor Osimhen. This is surprising, I don't think they have enough funds for Osimhen's transfer.

Yeah, it's obvious Cunha is not a good striker for Manchester United. However, it's not really surprised me if they sign him as a new striker. You know how weird their talent recruiter. They always gone to the unproven striker instead of wasted slightly more money to aquire proven striker.

As for Isaak or Gyokere, they're good, but Isaak is far expensive. I'd prefer to see them sign Gyokeres instead of Isaak. I admit how Isaak is PL proven, but his price is fucking high, mate. They have no money to sign him.

If Nottingham Forest has the funds and want him badly, they will go for him. It seems like Nottingham Forest wants to maintain their consistency to always be amongst the top four in EPL for them to have plans of bringing Osimhen to the club.

Madrid has always been the dream of every player because they pay well and you are sure of winning a trophy which migh be impossible in another club. So it's a win win.

Why would Manchester United be interested in signing Matheus Cunha who is a very temperamental player. While there is no denial about his incredible talent and ability, I don't think he would be the upgrade Manchester United are clearly looking for in their attacking department. His lack of discipline and  tendency to lose his temper makes him an unsuitable fit for a club striving for stability and consistency like Manchester United.
