⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bitgolden]

An end of an era for Leicester...

Vardy signed for them in 2012 and played for 13 years. Finally he was released by Leicester on exactly the same day he joined Leicester.

Now he is 38 and about to play for Cremonese. I don't know why but they already had 6 CFs. Now it is 7 with Vardy.    I thought maybe Vardy would go to Saudi Arabia instead though.

Oh shi... I thought that he retired. I didn't know Vardy was still playing, I mean he is definitely the absolute legend of Leicester, so I assumed when he left and with his age, that was due to retirement and not going to some other team. I am sorry to say this, and don't get me wrong I love him, he is the perfect footballer story, in fact he should even have a movie based on his life, perfect.

However, he is just not good enough to keep playing at a high level. This is Serie A we are talking about, I am sure he will be a bench warmer, but even when he is not, and playing, I do not think he can provide much. In any case, I will always respect the legend, and I hope that he does what he wants to do there and gets what he wants.

The details are here:

Source: Alexander Isak six year deal until 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟏

Liverpool paid a fee of £125 million, but Newcastle will receive £130 million, including the solidarity fee. Who wouldn't be tempted by that kind of money? Newcastle have now signed Nick Woltemade as Isak's replacement (obviously, don't compare his performance to Isak's yet).

Isak's contract runs until 2031, a six-year deal.
Currently, the latest information is that Isak is undergoing a medical.

Isak didn’t play in Newcastle’s recent matches, it was clear that he was preparing to leave the club, but I thought Liverpool would manage to agree on a lower transfer fee. Liverpool keep spending very big money on transfers, and now the most important thing is that it pays off and they can defend the Premier League title and perform better in the Champions League this season, because in the group stage they were very good but in the knockout rounds they were a bit disappointing.

With Isak joining Liverpool which we all know and Yoane Wissa going Newcastle's way who will excel more than the other in this season's EPL games and probably in the other competitions?
I never saw this deal pulling through for Brentford to lose two good players who made them be on a higher level last season, first it was Mbeumo joining Manchester United and now Yoane Wissa joining Newcastle. I feel is a big win for Newcastle and a big loss for Brentford.
What do you make of this move and what can we expect?

Isak joining Liverpool is one of the best decision he has made, every football prays to go higher and he is going higher he need trophies and this can be achieve with Liverpool than Newcastle United. Then talking about who will excel more between Isak and Wissa in their various team without even been told you should know that it is Isak who went to Liverpool, Liverpool is big team and this team has been doing good in previous seasons and in the current season there is every possiblity that isak might win a tittle this season with Liverpool, Liverpool who is inform has won 3 of their games in the English premier league doesn't seems to loss a game soon.

In my opinion, with the signing of Alexander Isak, Liverpool can automatically talk a lot when competing in the Champions League this season...

These two transfers just show how English teams are totally inflating the market because these transfer fees are ridiculous. Isak is a very good player, he's still relatively young, but 150 million euros is madness...

Yes, it's true, these figures are absolutely absurd, they only serve to inflate the market, and then, thinking about it, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid cost me 90 million, I think, we were talking about one of the strongest players ever, while now they are taking normal players with a normal average, the standard

...Isak is a good player, no doubt, strong, quick, technically solid... but €150M !! That’s premium ,,Ballon d’Or contender,, money, not “solid striker with potential” money.
As for the market, it’s just what the EPL does.EPL cash keeps pouring in, clubs keep throwing silly money around, and everyone outside England just can’t compete . The Ronaldo comparison is spot on — back then €90ml broke headlines for a generational talent. Now it’s the going rate for anyone who can score 15+ goals a season.
Give it a few years and €200M for a top striker will probably look “normal.

I wonder how this contract was revoked because clearly Newcastle wasn't ready to sell their main man after placing an almost near impossible price tag on Isak which was meant to scare everyone away...

Finally Isak has secured a move to this dream team, he'll now have peace of mind and love at his new home, I felt pity for him cause of the abuse and threat from some Newcastle fans to the point of threatening him from moving freely just cause he wants to leave their team, it was an unfair treatment and I'm happy he's gone to where he'll experience love again.

 Well, Newcastle squad would miss his presence but they didn't miss out completely since they've bagged a huge amount of money. However other players should use Isak's experience as an example to note that a verbal agreement (man to man talks) with a team is nothing until it's written or documented so they won't face similar experience as Isak did.

English players find it very difficult to play in any other leagues these days; players like  Douglas Luiz who was performing well move to juventus and was on bench throughout the season.His move to Juventus was a very bad move for him, it nearly cost him his entire career, it sometimes seems the environment matters a lot in players growth in a team, or maybe change of management could also be a major problem..

 And I feel the style of play at Juventus wasn't favourable to him. His move to Nottingham Forest is quite a smart one; with his physicality and the competition for his position, he will definitely settle well with the team. Nottingham forest is a good team with many promising players and douglas now have a responsibility to prove himself fit for the competition in the club

This is true Jamie Vardy has aged i was thinking he is still in Leicester city he has been with the team for years even when other good playings were leaving Leicester city to other teams but Jamie Vardy refuse that he will be with the team, he was among the legend that won the title for Leicester city in 2015-2016 season which became a world global attention the team name was heard all over as people keeping talking about them, Vardy should be 40 years now if he found him self in a team without a striker he can be playing on pitch as the team striker, I enjoyed him play in 2015-2016 season in the English premier league.

What do you make of this move and what can we expect?

I believe that Newcastle will not be happy to lose Isak, but I also think they got a good replacement in Yoane Wissa. He had a good season last season and I think he fits perfectly to the Newcastle team.
It's really a big loss for Brentford, losing two important players in one transfer window. That might really affect their season, but it's definitely a win for Newcastle because Yoane Wissa will definitely improve their attack.

[Rruchi man]

Isak joining Liverpool is one of the best decision he has made, every football prays to go higher and he is going higher he need trophies and this can be achieve with Liverpool than Newcastle United.

Good purchase For Liverpool, a good alternative for Ekitike, who, even though his career in Liverpool has started well, still needs backup or competition, and Isak provides that competition.

Then talking about who will excel more between Isak and Wissa in their various team without even been told you should know that it is Isak who went to Liverpool, Liverpool is big team ...

You can't really say, because Isak can move to Liverpool and become a total flop, and Liverpool's season can end if players lose motivation. Wissa, on the other hand, can become the striker for Newcastle that they have been missing and the spark to their season.

It is football, and there is no script for it; the season is still fresh, and Liverpool are still basking in the glory from their last season.

[Accardo]

Isak joining Liverpool is one of the best decision he has made, every football prays to go higher and he is going higher he need trophies and this can be achieve with Liverpool than Newcastle United.

His move to Liverpool has caused a strong sensation on the net, everyone can't wait to watch him play with the merseysides. Klopp's attacking build up is strong with Isak and Sallah on the team. Boundedly, with the huge amount he spent procuring the striker, there'll be more open doors for Liverpool and Isak this season, as the defending champion.

[Berry2d]

Finally Alexander isak's  cry have been listened to and a move to his dream club accepted but with a big sacrifice by Liverpool spending over   £125 million to make the Deal come to reality. In some hours time the competitive transfer window will be closed, who knows the next deal that will be concluded like That of isak but the question here is did isak what such heavy spending that was splashed on him by Liverpool and can he prove himself consistent enough to do the same thing he did in Newcastle united in Liverpool because this was how Manchester united spent big on sancho and antony but the result was an unbelievable one.

If you call it a win for Newcastle United it should be because of the money they will get on selling Isak to Liverpool not because of signing Wisa from Brentford because they lose a very clinical striker that can fit in almost all the best teams in Europe. They wanted to keep him, but Isak is keen to move for further competition because as a big striker, he needs to win trophies to get more recognition because am he don’t have much in his Gallery right now.

Brentford on the other hand should be in lost even though they made a lot of money from selling players because they lost their two key players that has been driving the team forward in terms of goal contributions; now they have to start from scratch again to rebuilt their team because a lot needs to be done.

Sounds good to have Garnacho to Chelsea as a done deal. I've long been anticipating this move, and since he wasn't having much game time, Chelsea signed him with a less package worth below £40m, whereas the initial asking price was £50m. He has further agreed on a 7-year contract with Chelsea.

 The salary is not disclosed yet, but I think he will earn more with Chelsea due to the longevity of the contract. Garnacho was one of united's academy players who later joined the senior team and had a good performance during the long season, but since the introduction of Amorim, became uncomfortable playing for the team and decided a move to Chelsea. United on the other hand are relief of some pressure after they have given out some of their unwanted players in the team. It will be an interesting one to watch Garnacho's performance at Chelsea.

[Despairo]

This is true Jamie Vardy has aged i was thinking he is still in Leicester city he has been with the team for years even when other good playings were leaving Leicester city to other teams but Jamie Vardy refuse that he will be with the team, he was among the legend that won the title for Leicester city in 2015-2016 season which became a world global attention the team name was heard all over as people keeping talking about them, Vardy should be 40 years now if he found him self in a team without a striker he can be playing on pitch as the team striker, I enjoyed him play in 2015-2016 season in the English premier league.

Vardy has a good record in Leicester City, 200 goals in 500 match.

Vardy is loyal with his team, if Leicester City still want him, he doesn't move to other team even they give higher salary and will play for stronger team. But, when Leicester City no longer wants him, it's nothing personal for him and he willing to play for other teams.

Even though Cremonese isn't a regular team to play in Serie A, but I think they will survive in this season.

I can't hardly believe Chelsea signed Garnacho for £40m. It's very bargain for a winger who is 21 years old, have good GA, and also big potential. Maybe, he's getting upset as he was only getting 50k weekly on MU. No doubt he wants a move to the club that would give him 100k - 150k weekly so badly. I just know that 150k was Chelsea's limitation for their salary. So i assume

he might be receiving his salary in that range. Easy to flip him for double profit in the future.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

Truely the level of inflation in the transfer market this days is alerming, gone are the days when 100 million gets you three to four players, this days that same amount is not enough to get some single players. The prices attached to these players this days is outrageous no wonder only rich clubs excel this days and average clubs suffer.

Alexander Isak finally to play in Liverpool's shirt oh what a time to be alive, I'm happy that he was able to make his dream to Liverpool a successful one, a six year contract not bad. This leaves Liverpool squad more dangerous and ready to defend their championship this season.

Isak is a desperate player who wants to win trophy and he finds Liverpool to be that right club to achieve his desperation. Isak deal of £125 million transfer fees now stands as record breaking in the English premier league.

Liverpool presently having the appearance of the Manchester city of yesterday and there is an 70-80 percent chance of them winning the premier in a row.

Looking at the quality of players Liverpool have spent huge amounts on, trust me it will pay off. Isak was a bit stubborn to his club Newcastle which would have resulted to something much more controversial if the club had stood it's ground, considering the fact that he still has a contract running with them, and that contract hasn't expired, I feel he was lucky they let him go, victor Osimhen had it hot with Napoli after almost similar situations.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Hojlund's move to Napoli is the best thing for his career, he's a promising young player with lots of talent and staying at united with limited playing time will ultimately deem his dreams and shorten his play time. With this move to Napoli, he stands better chances and will improve in his performance in a very different environment.

Though, he has failed to show the club his intention of staying long-term, the move was really an important one for him. His desire was to stay and compete for his position but the club already has two strikers, so keeping him on the bench without future hopes is a waste of his time and career. Now, everything is crystal clear and the transfers have been completed!
