⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[JeffBrad12]

Ratcliffe gives Amorim 3 years, yeah... I wasn't expecting him to be this patient honestly. I thought Amorim would get sacked before even the end of this season.

It's hard to understand the way SJR is thinking about his club. He sacked the previous manager who won two trophies and helped club finished at the top 4. He's now defending someone who bring MU to the lowest level on its history. At this point i think SJR is twat.
I understand if SJR might think sacking him would not solve the problem. yet, keeping him with no improvement in the squad is also a risky decision too.

I guess that how Glazer might be doing better than SJR, though they're greedy as hell by sucking club's liquidity.

[joniboini]

It's also possible that he's doing a PR spin because they can't find the right replacement or find it too expensive to fire him (I remember there was a discussion around the penalty and whatnot a few weeks ago). Whatever the case is, hard to know the real reason a few years later when we got an exclusive interview with either Amorim or someone from Manchester (unless they somehow turn this around, in which case the decision to keep him will be labelled as genius, farsighted, etc).

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, El Classico is approaching, and the last thing Hansi Flick wants is a heavy defeat. Real Madrid's attacking side isn't bad at the moment. If Sevilla can score four goals, Real Madrid can do the same. However, such a result would have serious consequences for Barcelona. I hope manager Flick can address the defensive problems quickly.

It's a fact that could be like that, now what I'm thinking is that Madrid won't play like they did when they played Against Atlético, because if that's the case it will be a disaster, they must play like they played against Villarreal , that well, that's why things with Madrid still make me feel unconfident , we players don't Know what happens to them when they play, I don't know if it's nerves or something that affects them, maybe the pressure.

Ratcliffe gives Amorim 3 years, yeah... I wasn't expecting him to be this patient honestly. I thought Amorim would get sacked before even the end of this season.

He says this and gives Alex Ferguson - Arteta examples as they were also in trouble in their first 2 years. He is right about it though. Both of these managers did much better after being given more time.

Arteta is still trophyless in the Premier League maybe but he at least made his team competitive for one. Do you think Amorim will also reach that level? 

I don’t know who was hoping for this. I was convinced Amorim wouldn’t stay as manager for much longer. But three years?? That might be too much unless they bring in some proper reinforcements. It’s hard to believe Man Utd can recover that easily, even in three years. I don’t know what to say. I’d just wish Amorim good luck.

I was happy when I saw on Fabrizio Romano's Facebook page that Manchester United board has given Ruben Amorim three years to change Manchester United's situation, because I want Ruben Amorim to be given enough time to prove himself at Manchester United. Three years is enough time for Ruben Amorim to build up the team that will help Manchester United get back to its winning ways. If Ruben Amorim can't solve the problem of Manchester United within the time frame Manchester United board has given him, I support Manchester United board to take any action they want against Ruben Amorim.

[Stablexcoin]

I don't know why Man United management gave Amorim three years, as we can see that he hasn't fully overcome the problems left by Erik ten Hag. Since taking over at Man United, Amorim has received full support from the management, who have invested a lot of resources to make his job easier, but he still has difficulty getting Man United to perform at their best.
The results achieved by Amorim so far have not been satisfactory, I think the Management must move faster to save the club from the slump, I dare not say that retaining Amorim was a mistake, but the fact is that he has failed to carry out his duties.

Everyone thought Amorim will not spend long time in the club anymore, shocking to see that the management came out to clear the rumors.

Still not much of a difference if the team might get tired and terminate his contract, we will work with what the management has stated and hope that Amorim brings the team to a good spot, he doesn't have the pressure of being sacked anymore, he has the time to grow the team, in the next three years, he has to make good ending with the club.

Because of the way Real Madrid have been playing against Barcelona in the el clasico these recent years it would be hard for anyone to actually feel confident and comfortable playing them to win that game I mean Real Madrid have changed management so who knows maybe things might be different this time around and maybe they might even get that opportunity to win this Barcelona team that have been also losing their touch.

Everyone thought Amorim will not spend long time in the club anymore, shocking to see that the management came out to clear the rumors.

I was thinking if their is no improvement in Amorim’s performance, then Manchester United will have to sack him before the ending of the season, but it’s surprising that Manchester United management wants to keep him for 3 years, a coach is performing poorly, and they still want to keep him for that long, those that even make sense.

Amorim joined Manchester United since last season, and since he joined, their is no improvement in Manchester United performance, I will say their performance just keeps on getting worst, and they keep on complaining about their important players, and they selling them to other clubs. So even if their is no improvement in Manchester United’s performance, then they will just keep Amorim as their coach, or with time if their is no changes, they won’t have choice than to terminate his contract. With the look of things their is no assurance that their will be changes in Manchester United’s performance.

It’s amazing to see how much Ratcliffe believes in Amorim to build United’s team to be stronger and better. I can boldly say Ratcliffe is the only one that still believes Amorim is the man to revive United and it will be interesting to see Amorim pay back his trust with achieving tangible this season. He doesn’t really have to do much this season, if he finishes in fourth or fifth position it will be a good sign to regain the trust of the supporters and get their backing.

I expect Real Madrid to get the win, although this won't be a walk in a pass for any of them. Against Real Madrid, Barcelona will be more careful not to make any silly mistakes and they know they are not just playing against any other team but their rival, which is among why it is called El Classico. The hate is there and both teams will want to be the victor especially Read Madrid, after their disappointing or shameful  performance in the end last season.

I would have predicted Real Madrid to win Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico but since they couldn't win Atletico Madrid when they met, it's giving me doubt because Barcelona for the fact that Barcelona won them all four times last season could mean that they understand their weakness and may use it to still outsmart them at the El Clasico but i just think that Real Madrid might have also identified where their problem was last season and have proffered means to make corrections this time around and for the fact that they have a new coach namely Xabi Alonso could mean that he will employ tactics to use and win Barcelona. Hansi Flick on the other hand will also charge his players to be vigilant knowing fully well that a loss will mean that Real Madrid will have a 5 points gap which might become problematic for Barcelona in their hope to defend the title.

Yeah Barcelona are not in their best shape right now and if they don't fix things real quick it might get messy for them in the El Classico. Of course Real Madrid will want to play better than they did against Barcelona last season and won't want history to repeat itself again so they will come prepared and also losing to Athletico Madrid will improve their game learning from their mistakes in the game.
Their defense has always been in this way, the problem is just that their attack is not as productive as before so now  they concede more than they score. Even before they concede alot but the attack balance it up by scoring enough goals so no one sees anything wrong with the defense when they win games.

I want both teams to have their first team complete so we can witness a more challenging game. I hope Yamal and Raphina would be available so there will be no excuses when any team lose.

Weird how people could hate someone who has done nothing scandalous or anything. I feel like both Messi and Ronaldo were great, I agree with that, rivalry was great because we have not seen that again since they grew older. After Ronaldo left Real Madrid and Messi left Barcelona, neither are good anymore and nobody else gives that feeling. Look at this years winner, Dembele and he is not even remotely close to what prime Messi and Ronaldo could do.

You may think Messi was PR, but do you really think that Messi wasn't ten times the player as Dembele is? It's clear that both Ronaldo and Messi were insane, these guys scored 40+ goals a year easily, for nearly 20 years, and that's an insane stat, when someone else scores 40+ in all competitions we consider that as world class now.

At 40 Ronaldo is still bossing the game at Saudi Arabia and for Portugal while Messi does the same at the MLS. Everyone has his or her time and it is now Dembele’s time, there is no need for the comparison, I think he should be allowed to enjoy his prime for as long as it lasts and be grateful for the entertainment he brings.

You maybe surprise that Lalila is going to be the simplest game Barcelona will play this season despite the fact that Yamal and Raphina aren't around but if the come back next week before that event hold, it is going to make it even easier than I was expecting. Real Madrid has loss what they use to have back then. None of this players has the glory of the past players, none of them come close to them but the make the loudest noise every time Hala Madrid.

Atletico Madrid isn't different from this train, I don't know where they gather this energy to finish Real Madrid but I can tell you for real they are not too different from each other. One is just a better pretender than the other one. I also don't think Atletico are going to win the league, Barcelona will come back to where they are before Yamal left them to win the league title.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Lamine yamal already has the hype around him. He hasn't achieved anything individually and already being pushed to be the best player to win the last ballon d'Or then imagine what the hype is going to belike when he wins the champions league and begins to win other tournaments as well. I think he's doing just fine and haven't done anything to call it a wayward life. Has he done anything close to what Ronaldinho did when it involves partying and clubbing. Lamine Yanal is a young guy and he should be allowed to enjoy his life and money. Not everybody can belike Ronaldo and him being like him won't still make him the best player because it didn't make Ronaldo either as Messi being relaxed won more individual awards and trophies than him.

For me, Lamine is an unpleasant person He is unpleasant with his own fans and it seems to me that he does not have an ounce of humility, and his father is even worse, I don't know, but the fact that he is on Madrid's rival team makes me like him less. The attitudes of other people are something that I evaluate a lot and it seems to me that he is quite toxic At least it is because he is very young and needs to mature, but for me, nothing is clear.

Well I don’t think there is any much difference between Arsenal and Manchester United, Manchester United have been more successful than Arsenal in the 20th century, and Manchester United have won the Champions League in the 20th century and Arsenal have never won any Champions League in their life, When Arsene Wenger was at Arsenal they don’t win much trophies Wenger tried by winning the Premier League, and only tries to qualify for the Champions League after that, But Manchester United was winning Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League, and even won the Champions League, but now we feel Arsenal are dominating but to me they’re not dominating, because they only finish second place, without a trophy to show for it, No Premier League, No Champions League, only finishing second place and qualifying for Champions League, I don’t think there is any difference between Arteta and Arsene Wenger time.

I didn’t get you right. Are you trying to compare Manchester United with Arsenal in terms of performances? You can compare a team that has suffered facing a lot of challenges in both the Champions League and the Premier League with Arsenal. If you don’t know there’s a far difference between Arsenal and Man United, let’s forget that Arsenal hasn’t won the Champions League in their life; that’s all about football is a dynamic sport. Because a team that we will never think can win trophies is the one that comes at the end of the season by bringing out a big surprise. That’s the logic of football, so in this case, stop comparing Manchester United with Arsenal.

It's not a new thing for Man United to keep their coach for several years despite his very poor performance. As happened in Ten Hag's season, now, it's similar to Amorim's case. And the reason is still the same: still giving a chance, still needing to adapt, still believing that Man United will really return to its very good performance, so maybe it can be said that Amorim needs about 2 seasons to adapt. Hahaha.

I am sure Xabi has learned a lot from that defeat, especially since his first Derby ended in a crushing defeat, so he will continue to strive to improve his players performance. The next El Clasico match will be very important in order not to repeat that defeat. I hope Xabi can beat Barcelona, because Barcelona certainly does not want to lose the momentum that Atletico Madrid has enjoyed.

Three years if the club's performance improves, but if it continues to deteriorate, I'm sure Amorim will be fired soon. Don't forget that Ten Hag was also given more opportunities at that time, but he ended up being fired sooner, right?

So, let's see how long Amorim will last.

I understand if SJR might think sacking him would not solve the problem. yet, keeping him with no improvement in the squad is also a risky decision too.

SJR may already take a lesson from the previous decision. Yep, as you said that firing the coach too early won't fix the problem. I thin this is a reason why he gives Amorim a chance for 3 years in managing Man United team. I don't this is a wrong way as long as there is an improvement in Man United performance although it is still not really significant.

Anyway, what do you mean by "lowest level"? You need to prove it with data when you claim something like this. IMO, we still can't judge him to fail before we see the final result in the end of the season. Just give him a chance to improve Man United now!

I guess that how Glazer might be doing better than SJR, though they're greedy as hell by sucking club's liquidity.

Both Glazer and SJR control Man United. So we can't claim that one of them is better. If Man United is still in a bad condition, both of them take the responsibility of it. SJR won't decide anything alone, it should be influenced by Glazer family as well.

But that's exactly what happened with the Manchester United squad: they kept the manager but eventually fired him. If they did it now, it might have been better, as it was still early in the season and the new manager had time to make changes. However, Manchester United's owners argued otherwise, saying they still trusted Amorim. Naturally, many were disappointed with the decision.

Although Xavi has expressed his desire to coach Manchester United, Manchester United management is reluctant to fire Amorim. Considering Xavi Hernandez's impressive track record as a Barcelona manager, hiring him would have been a positive move, but they didn't. If Manchester United doesn't qualify for the Champions League this season, I suspect Amorim will be sacked.

With the way Liverpool are seriously hunting to get Guehi and I think Madrid are also looking at the possibility of the England defender joining them since they too are looking for a way to strengthen they defense. Since Liverpool didn't get him in the just concluding transfer window I feel the reds are going to stretch their legs to see if they could meet up in capturing his signature. But on second thought, what is happening to Liverpool to have lost that strength in that back line? Is Guehi the missing piece to make the back line strong again?
