⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Frankolala]

Loyal management make Pep Guardiola not difficult for dominating at Premier League and perform impressive in Champion League, every window transfer The Citizen's management always spent up much money to sign top player and its reason why Pep Guardiola renew contract last season have been expired. For this season likely Manchester City still at the race for winning Premier League but in Champion League not really sure will reach until final round or not.

It is rare to see coaches these days staying for a long time in a single team and be successful. I just recall Simeone in Atletico Madrid, he was able to keep his team among the top in the ranking yet he wasn't so successful to get the title and in Champions League. For Pep Guardiola he was successful in Premier League but it requires a lot of time to get the Champions League title at the end. The other coaches don't stay for a couple of years at best which makes these two coaches special. I am talking about recent events and not in the long past where coaches stay forever training Manchester United and Arsenal

Football has changed from the from how thinvs are done way back. Then, it was old players that are preferred by clubs because coaches will say that they're well experienced but these days, every coach wants a younger player that is sharp and skilled because he will play for long in the club. Young coaches are taking over the game because some of them are great players in their days.

You are right that Dušan Vlahović is linked with a move & his contract with Juventus is about to expire. It is also true that clubs such as Chelsea & MU are reportedly keen on him.
But keep two things in mind,

1. As the source you provided said, can you provide any solid proof that Tottenham are ahead of Chelsea & Man U? I dont think Tottenham are ahead

2. You said that his playing time has dropped significantly, however as far as I know he prefers to stay at Juventus & whenever he is used, he is performing well.

However, your logic makes sense regarding the move, but the degree of certainty & the odds of the bet are perhaps a bit overblown, imo

1. There is no solid proof unfortunately... These are all rumours for now. I have mostly heard about the name of these 3 teams recently. I'm not sure whether Manchester United should go for him just after signing Sesko.

2. Yeah it really has dropped. In his last 4 official games, the highest amount of time he played for was 32 minutes. And yeah, it seems like he wants to fight for his place to get it back from David.

Let's see what happens in January as he still hasn't been offered a new contract by Juventus.

[verdinio]

At first, Vlahovi? seemed to be better this season. He started the season with goals in the Serie A. But later on this changed drastically... His playing time also dropped significantly.  
In this situation, I won't be surprised to see him leaving. In January only there are going to be only 6 months left on his contract. I understand the attraction from the Premier League teams as a result.

Du?an Vlahovi? will leave Juventus, this is clear and will certainly happen when his contract expires. I would have preferred him to leave earlier, but not because I support Juventus, but simply because the club would have made more money if he had done it earlier.

[lizarder]

Juventus have always wanted to sale him off, and I keep believing he is also pushing behind the scenes to finally leave the club. Tottenham wants Vlahovic.
Do they struggle now with Dominic Solanke. What is the difference between the two players and how are they not the same style of players. This can also be wrong information. Since the signing of Thomas Frank as manager, Tottenham first striker have always been Richardson. Tottenham have enough money to back the new manager.

Last season Juventus tried to sell him with various options, but none materialized, and now it's time for Vlahovic to find a club that better suits him so he can continue playing regularly. The difference lies in his quality and finishing, and perhaps this is what Thomas Frank considered, ultimately approaching several options. Richardson also didn't start several games, coming on after halftime, and there may be some concerns about his position.

Vlahovic also doesn't really fit into the fast-paced style of play in the Premier League, as I see him lacking the intensity to make quick movements, or perhaps I'm wrong in that assumption. But ultimately Tottenham must find a way to perform better, especially now that they are playing in the Champions League, so they need a number of good players.

[TelolettOm]

And it's clear, Sweden has appointed Potter as their new head coach. They've already finalized the deal, albeit for a short-term contract, at least until March. The target is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

This should be a new start for Graham Potter after two poor performances in Chelsea and now West Ham. Sweden is currently bottom of Group B, which makes it hard for them to qualify. Looking at the group, one would have thought that Sweden would have an easy run in a group that has some low-level countries like Kosovo and Slovenia. They would have to win all their games for them to survive.

Potter's challenge to save the Swedish team and secure World Cup qualification is certainly a difficult one. Undeniably, Sweden's performance this time around is the worst. The team has only earned one point, suffered three losses and one draw, and has not won a single game. This team should have more potential than Kosovo and Slovenia, but the reality is truly devastating.


The first match will take place next November and will be against Switzerland, of course it will be difficult for Potter to win points by beating Switzerland, where the team is the top standing in the group.

[hyudien]

Du?an Vlahovi? will leave Juventus, this is clear and will certainly happen when his contract expires. I would have preferred him to leave earlier, but not because I support Juventus, but simply because the club would have made more money if he had done it earlier.

Vlahovic price has dropped drastically, perhaps around €40 million and with his current contract remaining, Juventus certainly needs to act quickly and make the most of January. I haven't heard any solid information regarding which English clubs are interested in him, but even if Man Utd is one of them, I think it's quite unlikely. After all, they have signed two Serie A players before and the results can be seen, Zirkzze and Hojlund have no impact. Maybe the same could apply to Vlahovic, of course, this is just a personal assumption, what is certain is that he will leave soon.

It seems Manchester United don't need a striker after successfully acquiring Benjamin Sesko and also having Joshua Zirkzee in the squad.
Buying Vlahovic would add to the burden, as Manchester United actually need a midfielder more at this point.
Vlahovic's contract value has indeed dropped significantly after Juventus struggled to sell him in the previous transfer window, and I don't think many teams would be interested in him, especially in the Premier League.
So far, there is no certainty regarding Vlahovic's future and there is still no club that is really serious about reminding the player of his services.

[Lida93]

Snip.

Most of the big coaches are outdated. The new boys in town has taking over the job, the only two coaches I can still give respect, is Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola. Their style never gets old.

However, with the like of Mikel Arteta, Vincent Kompany and other young coach. Football has is progressing and going into the era of more tactically than individual brilliancy.

Pep Guardiola's tactics are so good that, apart from the biggest teams, no one can find a solution to them. His build-up play is the best I've ever seen, and especially when he was coach at Barcelona, I was a really big fan of his style of play.

However, I expect the next generation of coaches to come up with new styles that I feel are somehow still missing. They don't create anything new, they just improve on what already exists.

Pep Guardiola is just some unique coaching figure in football whose style of coaching is one I think to be very rare, his coaching techniques are flexible that he quickly adapts to the reformations in the football world and that's how great coaches are sighted, that's why you see that even while his contemporaries are losing their steaks Pep Guardiola still fits in and compete above the new generational coaches that seems to be on fire.

[Velvet78]

And Sean Dyche has been appointed for Forest job...

I want to be honest. This doesn't excite me even a bit.    He doesn't have a very successful history. He won the Championship and finished the Premier League at the 7th position with Burnley which happened many years ago. This is his highest achievement.

Nothing impressive with Watford and Everton the last time. Let's see if he surprises me though. I wish Marinakis didn't make a horrible decision by sacking Nuno Espírito Santo...

Yeah it's all rumors for now just as you have said. I know in the past Chelsea and Manchester United and some other clubs were interested in Dusan Vlahovic but the move didn't materialize. I don't really think any of there teams are going for him again, he already missed out on joining one of them and they have already gotten a striker now. Chelsea got Delap and Jaoa Pedro while Manchester United got Sesko and Cunha and Mbuemo already so I don't see them going for Vlahovic anymore.

Vlahovic is not a bad player and based on recent form I don't see any much difference between him and David, but maybe the coach prefers David style of play more that's why he is being used because every coach has their preference.

[Frankolala]

And Sean Dyche has been appointed for Forest job...

Forest have to pay a deadly price for sacking Nuno Espirito Santo because there's no guarantee that this new coach will be able to put the team in form like what Nuno Espirito Sancho did. There's a say that you will not appreciate what you have until you lose it. I believe that whoever came up with the idea of sacking Forest former coach will currently be in shame.

Well there is always a first time for everything atleast he has medal in his cabinet which is something to hold on to. With the current state of Nottingham Forest changes is exactly what they need and sean might just be the man who would actually turn things around with the club. For now every player in the Nottingham Forest team will have their expectations very low and as the team is already in shamble and hopefully maybe they will get going again.

Pep Guardiola has been big success with Manchester City and especially by winning very hard Champions League and becoming first manager to win four straight Premier Leagues in history. Still, this type of long time success means that things will surely become more difficult. In such good team, two things make next season difficult first is Competitive Adaptation means other teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool study system of City and hire players to beat them. And second is Psychological Burnout means players themselves sometimes lose some of their motivation or enthusiasm due to winning everything. Competition is now better than it was last year, but it is too soon to ignore Guardiola since his true talent lies in fact that he can always change plans of his team. This season will really show whether his genius will remain ahead of steps forward made by all other teams in league.

I think winning the Premier League trophy this season seems quite realistic for Pep Guardiola, but I doubt he can deliver the Champions League title. With eight games already played in the Premier League, we can assume that Manchester City will likely have a tight race with Arsenal this season, although we also realize that Liverpool still have a chance to bounce back.
Pep Guardiola has a wealth of experience and possesses all the attributes needed to achieve his ambitions. When some people begin to question his managerial quality, he may once again prove that he is still one of the best managers in the world today. On the other hand, I see Arsenal having a great momentum to win trophies this season, so they should not waste any more opportunities.

[Spaceman1000$]

With Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has won several titles, especially the Champions League, which is very difficult to achieve, but under Pep Guardiola's guidance, they succeeded. Pep Guardiola also made history in the Premier League, as he is the only manager to have won the title four consecutive seasons. The decline in his players' performance is natural, as competitors are starting to show changes, and perhaps Pep Guardiola himself won't have an easy time competing for the title this season, as several teams are also showing changes.

Pep Guardiola most successful manager won 4 premier league trophies in a row since season 2020/21 until 2023/24, actually Pep Guardiola have won 15 trophies with Manchester City since appointed as manager at season 2016/2017 and difficult for getting manager can dominance for longer time. Greatest achievement of Pep Guardiola as Manchester City's manager when success winning UEFA Champion League trophy at season 2022/23 and its the first UCL tittle for The Citizen.

Loyal management make Pep Guardiola not difficult for dominating at Premier League and perform impressive in Champion League, every window transfer The Citizen's management always spent up much money to sign top player and its reason why Pep Guardiola renew contract last season have been expired. For this season likely Manchester City still at the race for winning Premier League but in Champion League not really sure will reach until final round or not.

let us give it to Guardiola,  when he was at his peak with Manchester City, he won the premier League on a role for three times conservatively and later he went on to win the champions League and he was dominating the European football at that period in time.

 However the management of Manchester City and football fans should understand that it will not always be like that for Guardiola, it will come a time he will drop in performance because other coaches will learn to tackle his tactics, and those tackles is what Guardiola has been facing since last season and that is why he has had a reduction in performance, though the domestic issue he had with his wife also affected them psychologically, but overall I feel he has enjoyed a good time with Manchester City and they should not get themselves worked up if he isn't giving them exactly as it where before, maybe with time they will bounce back.

I'm also confused by Nottingham Forest sacking of Nuno. In retrospect, Nuno seems like a bridge, and Nottingham form has been dismal again. It's a shame had Nuno been retained, perhaps we could have seen impressive performances like last season. Sean Dyche hasn't shown much after leading Everton to a slump, and now he's been appointed to fix Nottingham Forest?

Pep Guardiola before his move to Manchester City was already  a top manager and then he earned the trust of City management especially when they can see their resources wasn't wasted.

Pep is tested and trusted. City wasn't really a top team globally before his arrival and now they're among the most fearsome team in the world. So I'm not surprised City continue to back their hero.

At least this time around he would be involved in Europa League competition not only FA cup, Carabao Cup and league games, the challenge is now higher than it used to be each time he handles a club. My issue with this manager Dyche is that he only makes a team to be strong in playing a draws, more of the defending than attacking, sometimes I see him as the Diego Simone of Atletico Madrid. Nottingham Forest would have been at the top competing for titles only if the owner had focus more on the progress Nuno was bringing to the team and not on personal issues, they won't have been in a bad spot if the club is been managed by Nuno but now they have to change managers every month, I just hope things turns out good with Sean Dyche and the club.

They have to get back Ibrahimovic!

I haven't been following Sweden a lot in recent years, but I think it is not wrong to say that their performances got worse as Ibrahimovic was in the final phase of his career, or were they still kicking it? This looks so bad.

It is hard to believe that they can turn this around, especially since Slovenia and Kosovo are not Luxembourg and Cyprus. It's not as easy to play against them as it seems. I agree that Sweden probably has more potential, but it is not that overwhelming that those games mean easy points for them.

[mikel_012]

Endrick finally agreed to go to another team on a loan move because he doesn't get minutes since Xabi Alonso.

People say he will maybe move to Olympique Marseille

❗️Endrick views a move to Olympique Marseille favorably.

Currently, he has lost his place at Real Madrid with the arrival of Xabi Alonso.

He could leave in January on a loan move.

Pep Guardiola has helped Manchester City won many titles, but last season almost ruined his career at the club if not for his technical know-how that he applied which made the team to finish in a good position. Towards the start of this season, he also got some challenging games which was against Tottenham and the other was against Brighton, but he was very quick to make and adjustment which has made the team become stronger. Pep is indeed a very humble coach because if it was some managers they would have left the club after the heroic 4 straight Premier League titles he won for them. I don't think that Manchester City spend so much on signing new players at every transfer window, besides i didn't hear of any quality signings they made last season, they basically counted on their old players, and they are doing their work perfectly. They can still do well in the Champions League games since they haven't lost any match.
