⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TastyChillySauce00]

Fedirico Chiesa has been excluded from Liverpool's Champions league List.
The player wanted to leave England in the summer, Liverpool wanted to sell him in the summer but I guess nobody came with the decent offer for all the parts.
It is a very sad story for him, after his severe injury of 3-4 years ago he may have lost part of his talent.

I feel sad he gets no spot in UCL, which may able to push him in getting demand from other clubs that may able to play him regularly. His injury was the main reason why he looks so struggle at this moment. Even by having no demand is a really bad sign for his future career. This also proves if Slot really doesn't rate him as his player.
I hope they will let the man leave in winter whatever the offer is gonna come for him.

It won't be easy for him to find a place in Liverpool's current squad.
If I were him, I'd move to a team where I could play regularly.
I don't think he's a top-tier player.
The German or Spanish leagues are exactly what he wants, the kind of leagues that suit his style of football.
He could easily play for teams like Dortmund, Leverkusen, Sevilla, or Betis, but I don't think he'll be able to play at a higher level.

The beginning of a new trend

Who has noticed that of recent there is a lot of disagreement between players and their clubs. It is either from the player side or from the club side but the level of disagreement and the collapse of transfer deals has increased this season. I cannot mention them all but you will see a player who still has up to three seasons with his club will outrightly tell the club that he wants to leave and if the club refuses to let him go he will exempt himself from the team.

We have also seen players have good offers but the club will deliberately raise the price to hinder the player from making such a move. I think things are seriously changing and this will bring in many clauses in transfer businesses. Do you think that this is the beginning of a new trend?

Stay quiet, loyal and you'll never get what you want. Meanwhile, be stubborn and maintain closure and get the big dream move you want. I have come to conclusion that football is just about business and nothing about loyalty. I'm not saying this because it was recently done by Alexander Isak but you can take a look back, even a great player like Harry Kane did so he can make his move to Bayern Munich. What I dislike is management not keeping their own side of the agreement and bargains when the time comes.

Liverpool have several excellent wingers, Salah and Gakpo, while their backup, Arne Slot, has included their young player, Rio Ngumoha, who is only 17 years old, for the UCL lineup. Arsenal also excluded Jesus and included Max Dowman in the lineup. However, I wondered, is Arteta serious about this? But it's not the main thing, especially since this attacking midfielder is only 15 years old.

Hearing that Chiesa wasn’t selected for the Champions League Squad was very disappointing for me, and I know it’s also going to be disappointing for him, But I think that is just the rules of the Competition because of homegrown slots and other rules that are associated, I think Liverpool have enough firepower in their frontline so I don’t expect anything horrendous to happen during the competition that they were top of the competition, Rio Ngumoha have taken that slot right now, his been a revelation for Liverpool starting from the pre-season, which he was very excellent, It’s a pity for Chiesa who was already getting called-up to the National team and scoring in the first game of the Premier League Season, well I guess he will have to settle this with the Management.

We all know that Leverkusen and Fenerbahce have cut ties with their respective coaches. I just saw from Fabrizio post that both teams are planning to bring in Ange Postecoglou as coach. Ange may not be a top-tier coach but she capable of delivering a UEFA title to Spurs. I think she can speak volumes in both Germany and Turkey but I'm curious to know which league you think she should choose? Personally I would choose the Bundesliga because it's certainly more competitive than the Turkish league.

It has not always been easy for foreign coaches to make an impression in the premier and unfortunately Ange was a victim of this but just because he failed in the premier league doesn’t mean he will also fail in Germany or Turkey unlike Ten Hag who has failed in England and Germany lol. It so happens that whoever comes through Manchester United just gets affeced I don’t know why that is. For me I would advice trying out the Turkish league for Ange.

It could be that no team has come for him yet, injury is one major challenge that affect the career of most football players for Liverpool coach Arne Slot not the include the name of Fedirico Chiesa in his UEFA Champions league team that means his attention is not much needed in Liverpool team and also with the current players Liverpool has now i don't believe there will be any way he can be playing regularly games so the best thing he can do for him self is to leave the team but this will be possible if a team comes for him.

Because this has already happened to him, he should have opened a dialogue with the management and sought clarification regarding what happened to him until he was not included in the squad list. If he wants to play regularly in every match, he must find a club that believes in him. Because the coach also sidelined him, there must be concerns and considerations made by the coach for not including him in the squad list.

Lookman was really rumoured with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe on the recent days. But they both went for a really late move and it was the deadline for European tournaments registration. 

The transfer window was also about to close for Serie A teams so that must be why Atalanta wasn't also keen on letting him go. They wouldn't have been able to find a replacement while there were only hours left...

Staying at Atalanta is still not good for him in the long term though. I don't believe in Juric at all.

I would say that Ademola Lookman has literally been unlucky with the transfer window this summer because first he was linked to Inter Milan, then Spurs, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and no one was successful. Staying at Atalanta is the only option at this moment and I doubt if he will be happy playing for the club for the rest of the period.

How do you feel about Liverpool's transfers this season? Are they effective? What are your predictions? Remember, they spent nearly €244 million just on Isak and Florian Wirtz. Isak may already be accustomed to the EPL, but Florian Wirtz is coming from Germany. Hopefully, he will be able to give his best contribution. Liverpool has become  the record-breaking transfer team with the arrival of Isak.

Liverpool was very ambitious to sign Alexander trying to get him to join before the transfer window closed or even Liverpool's offer had been rejected by Newcastle. And in the end, Liverpool managed to sign Isak to strengthen their team. There's a possibility that Isak will play as a lone striker if Liverpool uses a 4-2-3-1 formation. But I personally prefer to see Slot try using a 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 formation when chasing goals. And I can't imagine how Arne Slot would arrange this formation for their players. Maybe Slot's plan is to pair Isak with Salah, where Isak's unpredictable movements can capitalize on Salah's passes to create goals. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz seems to need more adaptation time to Liverpool's style of play and that of their opponents. Well let's see what happens in the upcoming matches, where Liverpool has undoubtedly prepared for with a new lineup and rotation.

Hmm to me in as much as Alexander isak is quite a good player but I still think the amount used to sign him is still too much, I just pray he plays to his expectations, yes he's English premier League proven but note he had less pressure there in Newcastle United than the one he will face at Liverpool, the pressure might be too much for him as the club and the fans all will be counting on him to deliver Everytime and if by mistake he didn't perform in maybe 1 or 2 game the critic's he will get might as well weigh him down, but I just hope he delivers.

The reason why Isak cost Liverpool so much fortune is that Newcastle United never wanted Isak to leave this season, so  they have to increased Isak's transfer fee so high so that they could scare Liverpool away, but Newcastle United didn't know that Liverpool were fully prepared to buy Isak this season. That's why Liverpool signed Isak with so much money.  Even though Liverpool is a different club from Newcastle United, I still believe Isak will perform well at Liverpool because he's Premier League proven and he's good at finishing.

I think the players have the right to do whatever they want if the club did not agree with their move, especially when they have a release clause in their contracts. I did not see anything wrong with a player acting to force himself out of the club. Some clubs are ungrateful, and when a player has a release clause on their contracts and the player has an offer, they will not want to let the player leave, and they will even increase the release clause so that the clubs will not sign the lost interest in the player. Let's take Gyokeres as an example of how sporting increased his release clause, if Gyokeres does not take action to terminate his contract, sporting will not sell him.

Another one occurred with Marc Guehi's transfer to Liverpool before the transfer window closed, Crystal Palace and Liverpool had agreed on everything, and the player had completed his medical, however, before signing the contract, the deal collapsed, and Crystal Palace did not want him to leave, Marc Guehi is now angry and refuses to sign any contract with Crystal Palace, and he will leave as a free agent next season.

Isak is worth every penny that have been spent on him, Isak is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and the strikers market are very expensive, if you check the amount that Liverpool signed Ekitike, Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko, You will understand that Isak is worth every penny spent on him, There is no way that I will ever think that Isak is going to flop at Liverpool, people would’ve thought Hugo Ekitike would flop now look at his performance, he is one of the best players right now in the Premier League, Liverpool doesn’t make mistakes in signing players, I think the only problem Liverpool might have with Isak is his injury record, But I think Liverpool team doctors knows how to manage players healths and there game time, they didn’t have much injuries last season, I think they had to adjust to there training schedule, and that always helps players to stay injury free.

I wouldn't say that Ademola Lookman was unlucky to secure a move out of Atalanta this season because he has a lot of offers from different clubs in different top European leagues but since Atalanta doesn't want Ademola Lookman to leave yet, they made Ademola Lookman's transfer deal difficult for all the clubs that wanted to sign him so that Ademola Lookman would remain with them, which they have finally achieved. I blame Atalanta for Ademola Lookman not joining another club this season.

President Percassi has put his back to the wall and hasn't accepted any kind of offer. It's not easy to deal with that man. Atalanta has a player and wants him to play with them until his contract expires, and they're right. A good offer hasn't arrived and they've kept him.

One thing clubs fail to consider is the happy state of a player playing for them. If you forcefully keep a player that wants to move to a different club, it will affect him emotionally and that will also affect his performance in the matches he will be playing. Atalanta should have let go of him rather than keeping him to themselves. Some players were allowed to leave the club why is Lookman own different.

He has no other option than to stick with the club and remove his mind on leaving Atalanta because if he doesn't, the management will definitely turn against him, just like what happened to Osimhen or should I say a similar incident may happen to him. At first when I saw the news of Inter Milan going for Lookman I was happy at least he had to leave Atalanta to join another Serie A side to make his former club see what they was missing but after some weeks nothing came out that they are still showing interest and I don't think they even submitted any bid, talking about Inter Milan, that was then I felt he's not going anywhere and among all the clubs you mentioned is only Inter Milan that wanted him, now my question is, why did all these clubs [Inter Milan, Spurs, Bayern Munich and Arsenal] stopped coming for him knowing fully well what he has to offer? Is it that Atalanta said something that chased them away?

After Bayer Leverkusen announced they would part ways with Erik ten Hag, the Leverkusen coaching position will be filled by an assistant coach.

I found one reason why Erik ten Hag was sacked was that he didn't get along with anyone at Leverkusen.
This shows that several previous statements about Erik ten Hag, including Cristiano Ronaldo, are corroborated.
If this is the case, it's a shame for Bayer Leverkusen, a club led to championship glory by Xabi Alonso.
I believe Bayer Leverkusen made the right decision at the right time by terminating this partnership.

Where is he (Erik ten Hag) now?

If Ademola lookman will be patient enough and continue playing a good game in Atalanta he could be link with a more preferably club when the next transfer opens next year, Lookman is a good striker i have watch him score good goals in his club won the best player in Africa he should keep playing well to still keep his value so he can attracted other top club to sign him next season or next year when the window will be open again.

I blame Atalanta for Ademola Lookman not joining another club this season.

Did he actually stayed put? Because I saw in the news how he was closed to swapping Atalanta for Galatasaray, and they were saying that he is going for a medical, which I thought that the deal was almost concluded before the closure of the Turkish window on the second of September, so am really surprised that am seeing this now.
How come his deal with Galatasaray never materialized? Or is there anything am missing here?

Because of this ademola lookmans transfer issues with Atalanta, they were even sanction by fifa for the threat he received and evicting him from his home when he hasn't secured his transfer away, so it looks like his relationship with the club has broken down beyond repair, so how will he be forced to stay when his relationship with the club has broken beyond repair, and sincerely speaking they will struggle to get the best out of him because he is an unhappy player.

[knowngunman]

I feel sad he gets no spot in UCL, which may able to push him in getting demand from other clubs that may able to play him regularly. His injury was the main reason why he looks so struggle at this moment. Even by having no demand is a really bad sign for his future career. This also proves if Slot really doesn't rate him as his player.
I hope they will let the man leave in winter whatever the offer is gonna come for him.

Injury is definitely one of the things that is affecting his career and it's obvious no team is interested to invest their money in an injury prone players. I think he was the one that turned down a summer exit thinking he'll have a chance to play at Liverpool. Although he still has a chance to play in the Premier League and other local trophies but he's a champions league product that Arne Slot shouldn't have dropped. That dude is being treated like a reserve player since he joined Liverpool. It feels bad to see a player of that quality being treated in such manner.

[SatoPrincess]

Liverpool’s transfer business this summer just shows how much they want to dominate not only the premier league but also Europe. Despite winning the league title last session they have gone ahead to make significant improvements to their squad to continue their dominance this season. As a premier league fan it will be good to see a premier league club dominate European competitions but facing Liverpool in the league is insane lol.
