⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

Today is my saddest day of the new month.
I just watched Lammens blunder videos from bloggers and I almost cried. The dude makes more costly mistakes than Onana. I didn't understand my mood after watching the video. What really was the problem with the Martinez collapsed deal?
I know bloggers can be funny, but such a compilation is liable to drop the performance of a good goal keeper.

Was Martinez inability to come Manchester united related to Sancho?

Only Manchester United fans who are yet to conduct proper checks on the player would openly bash him. He is by far better than Andrea Onana and Emiliano Martinez statistically. And why are you focused on his errors?! He's only caused 5 errors leading to goal which is actually lesser than whatever Andrea Onana did. Lammens will thrive for Manchester United. I have not seen his games close up and not a fan of compilations but he is a good upgrade to Bayindir and Onana.

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.

Federico Chiesa, I still remember this dude when he was at Juventus. Reports during the summer transfer says he rejected the chance to move away from Anfield, I don't know which is which probably because I didn't follow up on his own. But whichever one it is, this must really be sad for him. He showed up in Liverpool's opening match against Bournemouth by scoring a goal, I still remember that and he was also visible in the game against Newcastle two weeks ago. I know that his had a bad season last season but I think his trying to rejuvenate this season for himself. But sadly, his not going to be part of this season's UCL.

I think so too. Harvey Elliot in his time with Liverpool showed good prospects for the future but lack of playing time limited him from a lot if opportunities so I believe at Aston Villa he will get that playing minutes and a better environment to improve and develop quickly.

It is very rare for a player who has suffered a serious injury and needed months to recover to be able to perform again and become even better, and Elliot is one of the young players who has been able to overcome this. However, the lack of playing time and loss of momentum due to fierce competition in the Liverpool squad has meant that he has been somewhat sidelined, but he is still one of the attacking midfielders who is making progress in my opinion.

The move to Aston Villa is actually an advantage for Aston Villa because he can be flexible in several positions. On the other hand, he is a creative playmaker combined with his speed, which is clearly a significant advantage and could ultimately be a disadvantage for Liverpool.

However, in this case, Slot has his own choices and plans. Even though Elliot is a decent player, if he doesn't fit into Slot future plans or the system he wants to implement for Liverpool, he will inevitably be let go, as it ultimately depends on the coach's decision.

Lammens is a young goalkeeper with potential. He has a bright future and could succeed at Manchester United. At 23, he's promising. I'm sure he's a much better option than Andre Onana. Furthermore, Onana will likely leave the club during the mid-season transfer window, as he seems like a goalkeeper who wouldn't mind being benched. However, after last year, when he made so many mistakes, he should have known he wouldn't be able to hold his own at Manchester United.

Daniel Levy has finally stepped down from his position. I'm surprised though. He didn't seem like he would leave his job in the near future.

Let's look at Tottenham's achievements during his time:

- 1x Europa League winner
- 1x English League Cup winner

He was Tottenham chairman for 24 and a half years. And only 2 trophies achieved.    I hope they find a new chairman with better vision.

Don't only focus to the trophy to benchmark Levy's success with Tottenham. You better also consider how he made Tottenham's financial became very sustain. He also helped the club to growth from 80m valuation club to the more than 1b valuation club. Despite only winning two trophies in his 25 years with Tottenham, He achieved a lot of things in different thing.

He didn't have a bad time, but of course, it could have been better. They'll be competing in the Champions League this year, and it's interesting to see how they perform in the Champions League. I don't understand why he felt the need to step down now? He could have waited a little longer, or he could have finished the year as president. They've assembled a decent squad for the Champions League level. Their squad is more than adequate for the next round. They nearly took the trophy from Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup. Their performance this year shows promise.

However, in this case, Klopp has his own choices and plans. Even though Elliot is a decent player, if he doesn't fit into Klopp's future plans or the system he wants to implement for Liverpool, he will inevitably be let go, as it ultimately depends on the coach's decision.

Klopp is no longer even in charge. It is Arne Slot now, and that is half the story. Liverpool did not simply "let go" a fine youngster, they spent £400m+ in a single summer, they wasted £116m on Wirtz in the very area Elliott targeted, and then Isak (£125m), Ekitiké (£79m), and Chiesa on top. And Elliott, add the fact he played 1,611 PL minutes in 22/23 -> 1,335 -> 360 -> 8 this season before moving... you cannot say that is progress...

And Villa, however,  it is the opposite. Emery has been screaming about having two 10s who can go through the lines and Elliott is a 99th percentile progressive passer. That label of speed you dropped is a liberal one, but what he really conveys is distribution that breaks low blocks. And yes, Liverpool retained a buy-back since they are aware that selling a 22-year-old with that ceiling is a risk, particularly when they are already short on homegrown quota (6 HGP in a 21-man squad last season only)

[el kaka22]

Indeed Liverpool should utilize the quality players they have or even the new signings to deliver a strong performance. And I think Liverpool will certainly rotate their players to compete in the Champions League and the Premier League. So I think Arne Slot will face various demands to ensure Liverpool performs at their best. And so far I think he's proven that in the last few matches. However we still need to see how Slot plans to perform going forward through the long run of matches. In other case I just saw a report that Alan Shearer commented on Aleksander Isak's unprofessionalism when he went on strike for Newcastle before his transfer to Liverpool (Source). What are your thoughts on this? Will a similar incident occur or even have an impact in Liverpool?

This type of transfer window comes with its own problems. When you spend this much money on a team in a single summer, the expectation is to win the whole thing and that's not even questionable. Like even if you end up being the second place by 1 point, you are going to be failing. You should not only win, but dominate the whole league after such a summer.

Also, just winning the league is not enough, that would save your job, like Slot won't be fired if he wins the league, but it would be only a happy thing if he ends up with another title. It could be FA cup, or if they are lucky than UCL. If somehow they do manage to do treble and win all three like City did a few years back, then that is actually something that is amazing and actually awesome to achieve, even after that much money.

I have not seen his games close up and not a fan of compilations but he is a good upgrade to Bayindir and Onana.

Manchester United fans should not be concerned about the comparison between Senne Lammens and Emiliano Martinez. They should just be glad that they have gotten a good goalker with better statistics than the current two they have. In terms of save percentage and passing accuracy, Lammens is better than Andre Onana. He had made 173 saves in the 2024/2025 season, which is more than all the saves made by goalkeepers in all the top leagues in Europe. The Red Devils have solved their goalkeeping problems but it will take a solid defence to make him effective.  

I heard Onana is getting interest from the Turkish side, Fenerbahce and Saudi-based club Al Nassr? Maybe Altay Bayindir should stay back and build his confidence. He might end up becoming a good goalkeeper.

I have not seen his error or his saves but I think no one can be worse than Andrea onana, I mean that guy is crazy with errors and sometimes I just wonder why he didn't even turn out to be a midfielder or even a striker rather than going for the skills of goalkeeper. I think onana is part of the big problem Manchester United have and has cause so many errors that has lead to Manchester United actually losing their match.

There are rumors that Andre Onana will transfer to Trabzonspor in Türkiye. Trabzonspor isn't a very high-quality team, and there might be better options for Onana. He could achieve much greater success with many other teams in Europe.
The same goes for Altay Bayındır; I think Galatasaray should have evaluated this player and added him to the team. But they signed Uğurcan Çakır. This year we have seen many interesting transfers of quality goalkeepers

And to think that they overpaid André Onana because he had a good season with Inter. I really don't like this guy as a goalkeeper. He's good with his feet, but he often makes colossal mistakes. And I think Manchester United fans have noticed that.

Better vision huh, yeah I think thats a thing that Tottenham is lacking right now. They kinda stand in between of trying to win trophies and making money from their players though.

Some teams are aiming to win trophies while some teams dont really care about that because they are not capable of doing so thus they usually tend to rack as many money as they can from sponsors as well as selling their top players however in Tottenham's case, its neither.

They could have sold some of their top players back then for insane huge amount of money on their prime like Kane but they decided not to. Even so with Son, they could have sold him years ago for decent amount but they didnt as well. They also didnt sign top expensive players back then as well to help them smooth their way for trophies so yeah its just weird era for them

Andre Onana had a truly successful season at Inter. However, he had an incredibly poor season at Manchester United. He made numerous mistakes and caused his team to drop a lot of points. That's why Manchester United signed Lammens. They've spent a lot of money on goalkeeper transfers in the past two years. But Andre Onana is to blame. His performances have caused the team to no longer trust him. He's not playing the same way he did at Inter.

Yes, Onana made some serious mistakes. Manchester United dropped a lot of points because of him, but he's not the only one to blame. We saw last year that the defense also had major problems and made a lot of mistakes. All they needed was a scapegoat, and that was the goalkeeper.

Wasn’t he a better vision chairman during his stay at Tottenham Hotspur. I don’t think during his 24 years stay as the executive chairman of the club has anytime had him getting the club relegated from the premier league. He has achieved some success and has been very impressive for him at the club. Some chairman’s most have spent longer time than he did in one club and are yet to win any trophy, so it’s a good one for him to have won two trophies during his time in the club. Participating in about 18 European competitions in the last 20 years is a great achievement for the club.

Yes, Onana made some serious mistakes. Manchester United dropped a lot of points because of him, but he's not the only one to blame. We saw last year that the defense also had major problems and made a lot of mistakes. All they needed was a scapegoat, and that was the goalkeeper.

Checking Manchester United’s performance last season, almost every position in the field had their own mistakes and combining them all lead to the failure of the team last season. Because Onana was the goalkeeper, the blame was quickly shifted to him and he became the scapegoat. He’s a player with a lot of social media critics but he just have to ignore them to be a better version of himself this season if he wants to come out better than last season.

If you are someone who is very observant, you will know that injuries don't affect Liverpool much as it does affect other English teams because even if some of their players goes on injury, the ones that are available to play makes sure that they keep a certain level of balance until the injured players return back to fitness. It is undeniable that Liverpool got the best squad currently in Europe so i won't be surprised when they start performing according to the expectation of many people, even though we shouldn't expect much from them because game changes, anything can still happen and go the other way round because that was same way we hyped and trusted Real Madrid last season when Kylian Mbappe joined the squad but to our greatest surprise they finished the season without any trophy.

Injuries are very dangerous to any team no matter the number of replacements they have available in the squad, some injuries could be career threatening and could also jeopardize the plans of the coach and reduce the morale of the team and I hope it doesn't occur whether small or big. I know Liverpool have a very formidable squad at the moment but injuries could impart that team negatively, even Real madrid suffered some major set backs last season as a result of the multiple injuries suffered by some of their first team players.

Of course, injuries destabilize a team's morale and also cause confusion to a coach, i do not argue that but there are teams that can still manage to come out of a difficult condition even when injuries struck them. Liverpool have not fallen below the 5th position in the league table for about 8 years, does it mean that there weren't seasons out of these 8 years that they faced severe injury woes? they did but even as that they still made sure they finish in a good position in the league table, so i just have that conviction that injury cannot be a setback for Liverpool. The squad of Liverpool last season can even still cope with this season's matches so for the fact that they welcome new players in the transfer market shows that they will be unstoppable, with or without injury challenges. About Real Madrid injuries last season, despite the challenges they faced initially but they still finished second, that is the qualities of a big team because they will still get back quickly after a flop.

I don’t really think Onana is being over paid, his performance was good at inter Milan, but when he joined Manchester United, his performance dropped drastically, Seriously I never believed Onana performance is going to be so poor at Manchester United, with the way Onana was performing at inter Milan, then I won’t say he is being over paid, but seriously I don’t really know what’s wrong with Onana right now, his performance has been terrible at Manchester United, he  keeps on making terrible mistakes in matches, which I don’t really know the cause.

Maybe the pressure is just too much at Manchester United, or maybe Manchester United poor defense is one of the reason why there is pressure on Onana, some balls thats are suppose to be stopped by defenders do always end up getting to the goalkeeper. Seriously I just don’t know why Onana performance dropped drastically at Manchester United.
