⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Sure man, Rasmuss Hoijlund will strengthen Antonio Conte's squad and will be the starter until Romelu Lukaku returns from injury during the pre-season friendlies.
But then upon his return Rasmuss will still be the starter?
That is why I think it is not a good deal, spending 50 million to keep him on the bench?

Him been on the bench will totally depend on his performance for the team, if he performs well, Conte will use regardless of whether Lukaka is fit or not. If he doesn't perform well and Lukaku comes from injury to perform well then Conte will not hesitate to drop him off the starting eleven, it's just that simple. The coach cannot use because of his transfer fee to gamble with the matches he has ahead of him. To most Manchester United fans, he failed at the club, I just hope he gets his form here in Napoli, at least his playing with champions of the league.

Chelsea wants to sign everything and everybody this season. According to Fabrizio, Chelsea has tabled €40 the Barcelona man F. Lopez in a bid to lure him away from the Catalan club but Barcelona insists that his happy and wouldn't want to leave and they themselves are not interested in selling him anytime soon.

Barcelona and Flick confirmed they hope Fermin to stay. However, they up to the player's decision. At the same time, Fermin is still having desire to stay in Barca much longer. it most likely Chelsea's bid getting rejected due to that reason.

Chelsea has just cancelled out Jackson's supposed €15 million loan move to Bayern Munich. Chelsea phone and requested Jackson to turn back to England after Liam Delap got injured today in the Chelsea Vs Fulham fixture. Delap will be sidelined for 6 - 8 weeks. Could this be a chance for Jackson to prove himself to his club?

I was surprised when I saw the news because I never expected something like that to happen. Chelsea has just called back Jackson, let’s wait and see how he will perform now that he has been given another chance. Actually Chelsea never asked Jackson to leave the club, it was Jackson that came up with the idea that he will be leaving the club, he doesn’t want to be a backup player, and he wanted to leave.

I never expected Delap injury to be something serious, I was thinking it’s just a minor injury, and he will be back before Chelsea next match, but the news which am hearing right now is that Delap will be out for 8 weeks, seriously thats much, and Jackson will be the one to replace Delap, since Jackson has another chance, let’s see how he will perform, I just hope Jackson performance is going to improve.

Lopez in a bid to lure him away from the Catalan club but Barcelona insists that his happy and wouldn't want to leave and they themselves are not interested in selling him anytime soon.

If Barcelona loses this player, then there may be a negative change in their team's performance, on the other hand, if he can adapt himself well with Chelsea, then he can change Chelsea's performance. That is, according to various media reports, Chelsea has spent or is going to spend 40 million euros for this player's contract. When a player can play a good role for a club, then only that club management is ready to spend such a large amount of money for that player.
Although we have not received any such news from Chelsea or this player so far, based on which we can definitely say that the contract between Chelsea and this Barcelona player has already been completed. However, if this contract is between the player and the team, then I think this contract will benefit both parties.

Yeah, I think so. I'm not a fan of Jackson, but I think he did well at Chelsea, and I would want him to stay and fight for his shirt. I don't really know the reason the club wanted to get rid of him, but if I were to guess, I would say it's as a result of those silly red cards he picked up that cost them some matches. So, it is his redemption moment, and I hope he makes the best of it. If all goes well, he can even be an important player for the team.

Chelsea has confirmed that their deal with Manchester United concerning the signing of Garnacho has pulled through and Garnacho is ow a Chelsea player. For now Manchester United are still 9th on the table pending when other teams like Manchester City and Crystal Palace who has 3 points will play tomorrow, a win for them will mean that Manchester United will still drop from that position they're occupying nowt Garnacho move has made him move from 9th to 1st position without even kicking the ball.

In my opinion, Nicolas Jackson isn't good enough for Chelsea, and that's why Enzo Maresca brought in a new forward. If the loan deal with Bayern Munich is suddenly canceled due to Delap injury, this might be another opportunity for Jackson to prove his quality. Bayern Munich had already agreed to pay £13 million for the loan with a permanent purchase option, but it seems Enzo Maresca wasn't willing to take the risk amid the uncertainty of Delap injury.

If Jackson joins Bayern Munich, he'll likely be a second string player in Kompany main squad. Kane position as the primary striker is irreplaceable, so Jackson situation wouldn't be much different if he were to switch clubs. Maybe with this opportunity, Jackson will finally be able to live up to expectations. When he first arrived, Chelsea fans hoped Jackson could be the next Drogba.

Seriously, I don't even know who this guy is, the way Chelsea are just signing players left, right and centre I really don't understand. Are they trying to have players that will fill an entire stadium! With the way they are signing players, one might just wake up one to check his mail and he will be surprised to see that Chelsea has signed him without his knowledge.

Very funny. Chelsea's aggressive signings shouldn't be a surprise to us because they've been doing it few seasons back. Have you forgotten that they spent around £1B in two seasons on players, so whatever they choose to do shouldn't surprise us. I might have to send them a video of me kicking a ball, and I guess I might be signed as well.

Jokes aside, I think having a strong quality depth is important as well. Not all managers like too many players though, like pep for example, but I guess for a manager like Maresca, he absolutely likes having enough squad for rotation, and it's good to see that the Chelsea board can give him. Morever, they are good at balancing their books.

Chelsea gives every new player a long term contract. That's how they can sign many new players without disrupting their books and violating FFP rules. However, this move looks like just a business, rather than a long term investment. So far, Chelsea have been quite successful with this style of transfer, I mean they've won trophies while doing business by buying and selling players. Actualy, having a bloated squad doesn't necessarily make a manager happy, as it also adds to the burden of accommodating playing time for all of their players, although on the one hand managers have more freedom in carrying out rotations.

From what the reports are saying Fermin Lopez is still considering the offer and haven't made the final conclusion yet. Staying back at Barcelona wouldn't be a bad idea for Fermin but I also do not think moving to Stamford Bridge will be either so whichever decision he makes at the end of the day, it's very possible that he can achieve his dreams with any of the two clubs. Following injury to Liam Delap, Chelsea are now trying to make sure they sign a new attacker of which I think Fermin will make a good signing.

Fermin Lopez is the perfect match to be in the frontline for Chelsea after Liam Delap sustained a serious injury that will keep him on the sidelines for months, is this the kind of player that would explore at Stamford Bridge? Absolutely note because he's yet to showcase his features as a top attacker core the club.

Chelsea will force moves to making new signings because they're not contented with Nicolas Jackson fitting this vacant space since Delap is injured. Nicolas Jackson just have to rebuild that confidence because it's ultimately everything he needs to get back on track, he should look in the rear mirror and tell himself the truth, he's the best in Chelsea and pull all stunts to make good improvement and impression in his role. Enzo Maresca just need to reform his strategy because there's absolutely going to be more complicated strains along the line.

Isn't Pep the squad depth master? He literally has 2-3 quality players in every position in his team and switches formation and players for fun every game, the only reason they looked so bad last season was ldue to injuries. No one likes a big squad more than Pep.

I read about the Jackson and Chelsea situation, he deserves better after how he got treated the whole season after the WCC. They didn't want him yesterday and all of a sudden they want him back to the squad same way they did to Trevor after injuries struck them last season. Is he still at Munich?

According to Di Marzio.
Hojund is done from Manchester United to Napoli.
The deal should be a loan for 6 mil and mandatory buy if Napoli will be qualified for the next Champions league.

The total will be 6 mil + 44 mil for a total of 50 mil

One more problem and disaster from last season solved. I honestly wish they can add Andrea Onana to the list of players going out. Napoli will sure qualify for the Champions league. An ambitious manager and players who are ready to fight have been assembled by the management and manager. Antony, Sancho and Malacia show be next in line. Finally when these done, we should see a GK and CDM incoming possibly.

For things not to be like the way last reason ended, club like Manchester United have to perform some drastic changes, though i appreciate their initial efforts in players transfers, but as they will have it, their match was not also encouraging by their performance last match played, so the better the begin to apply substitution and then try to let go some of their players, you cant imagine if a club like Manchester United could not stand strong despite the name and reputation it have.

We have already seen that we will not see anything different from what we saw last season with Manchester United as their didn't make any attempts to change the conditions of their clubs, replacing their strikers was something that we all expected from Manchester United, but yet the transfer window ended without any tangible signing to cover up that space and to deliver more goals for Manchester United.

Yeah, that's absolutely right, Barcelona has stalled the offer of Chelsea and Fermin Lopez also has expressed his opinion that he wants to stay in Barcelona. So I think due to this reason Barcelona has agreed on it that he will stay at Barcelona.....

Fermin Lopez is such a classical player like his creativity. His skill is absolutely outstanding, although he is too young. So if Barcelona keeps Fermin Lopez, then surely his presence can bring improvement for the team. Fermin Lopez is a great player his presence on the bench can give extra confidence to the team. Apart from this Manchester United and Saudi Arabia club had also recognized him but maybe now all those offers will be rejected because Fermin Lopez expressed that he prefers to stay in Barcelona.

One of main problem in the football transfer these days is inflation. Time flies so fast in football. I'm getting shocked when Newcastle paid 90m for a striker who came from nowhere. Meanwhile, 90m could give us Ronaldo at 2009. It seems the inflation in football is uncontrollable.
Sometimes, i think football these days much more on business instead of passion. Priced a player that literally no one’s heard of close to the 100m is so crazy as hell. Things worsen when Newcastle agreed to buy him.

We may be seeing 4th tier player may be priced millions soon.

There are many factors to be considered in terms of player transfers fees these days. I believe that that cost of other local commodities in our individual countries today are not the same as it was in 2009. The price of tickets and TV rights have also increased. Also this was a panic buy for Newcastle and Stuggart know that Newcastle were having problems in securing a striker after several failed attempts to get their other targets and Isak future really not sorted out. It was a great avenue to extort Newcastle. On a normal day were everything is settled, this player won't cost this much. I don't blame Newcastle for paying this much. Isak didn't make things easier for them.

Look, you can be right about many things that changed in the last 15 years but there is no way, and I repeat, no way, that a 23 year old player who scored 24 goals in his career (10 of these playing in the German third division) is worth 90 millions. It just doesn't make any sense, the numbers don't make any sense, had they pay him 30-35 millions would have already been a lot, let alone 90 millions. What did he do to be worth 90 millions?

Seriously this is one of those die minutes panic buys that Newcastle has done here, they have seriously been at the end of transfer failures this season and are eager to get at least one transfer done and it is seriously the reason why they panic and bought this player from Stuttgart. We all can say he has the potential to be that new Isak because it is on Isak kind of player profile that Newcastle have been looking for a player. Seriously this player is too pricey and might even be the weight that will be mounting pressure on him. This is similar to transfers like Joao Felix to Atletico Madrid then, Hojlund or Anthony to Manchester United then. They all ended up didn’t meeting up the expectations placed on them.

Hopefully Isak saga can be resolved as we have 48 hours to the transfer deadline

Garnacho doesn't really care about in what position the club he is moving. He only wanted to play in the UCL. That's the reason he moved there. You know how Amorim abandoned him at MU, and even gave him no minutes. He made it right by moved to the Chelsea to improve his career as he's still 21 years old.
If he stays in his old club, believe me, his talent will be totally wasted.

Chelsea signed Jackson to a long-term contract. If I recall correctly, it was supposed to be an eight-year contract. Perhaps they're getting rid of him to save on the hefty fees. Also, while Jackson has had some successful matches, he still has a red card problem. He can't control himself during matches and is very harsh on his opponents. This leaves the team feeling short-handed. Perhaps this is why the manager doesn't want him.

Currently, it's not just Chelsea who want Fermin Lopez. According to the latest rumors, Newcastle are also trying to sign the player quickly before the deadline. In fact, some reports say that Newcastle are prepared to offer him four times his current salary, which would be difficult to turn down.

Deadlines like this are often used by clubs to sign players through quick negotiations, but this could also be a double-edged sword for Barcelona in the end.
Currently, they already have Rashford on loan from Manchester United, but losing Fermin could impact the quality of their attack, particularly on the wings. However, Newcastle's offer might be too tempting to refuse, especially with the substantial release clause they are offering for Fermin Lopez.

Garnacho seemed to have severed his ties with Manchester United long beforehand. Everyone was expecting him to transfer this year, and I was too. I think it was a very good signing for Chelsea. Chelsea will have a more productive transfer window after selling Jackson. Garnacho is both young and talented. He didn't get what he wanted at Manchester United. Last year, he was one of Manchester United's three best players, in my opinion.
