⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Belarge]

I understand Everton being in search of a CF first of all. In the end, I guess most of you would agree with me that Beto is a horrible striker.    He is a poor finisher.

However are they really sure about targeting Jackson as a replacement? I know they would go for a loan deal but still they can look for better alternatives first. I don't think he is a good fit for the Premier League in the first place.

I wouldn't call our Beto to be a horrible attacker, he has plans to succeed with the Toffees but I guess the club has other plans. How come they're targeting Nicolas Jackson? Well he can do better if he gives Everton greenlight from Bayern Munich. Nicolas Jackson moved on a loan deal to join the Bavarians this season after not been productive for the Blues lately, he just have to go since the Blues didn't relent when they signed his replacement, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. These are potential replacement for Nicolas Jackson.

Bayern Munich wouldn't trigger to sign him after watching him play on the pitch, so many flopping performance from the Senegalese and this is totally a huge blow for Nicolas Jackson. Anyways, I wish Nicolas Jackson the very best of luck in any path he chooses.

I don't think Barca can afford to sign Osimhen as Lewandowski's replacement. Galatasaray broke a club record to bring him to Turkey, and also considering the fact that he's just a few months into his contract, Galatasaray will demand an astronomical fee that will most likely scare Barca away. So the way I see it, the chance of Barca signing him is very slim.

Victor Osimhen contract with Galatasaray expiring until June 2029 and he has three years contract left and its difficult for Barcelona must spending much fees transfer if want to sign him. Recently Galatasaray spent up 75 million euro for signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli and fully believe his previous won't sell him under 75 million euro, so Barcelona must giving offering around 100 million euro if want reach agreement deal for fees transfer to sign Victor Osimhen.

Hansi Flick have announce Robert Lewandowski contract not extend who expiring at the end this season and must find right replacement for central forward position. I think Victor Osimhen is good replacement but Barcelona have much money or not behind that players have much salary payment and the club must pay fees transfer maybe around 100 million euro, not easily get cheapest fees transfer for any players have many years contract left with previous club.

Do you think Osimhen is worth €100 million? Player prices have really skyrocketed recently. When they paid €75 million for Osimhen, I was wondering what a pricey transfer, but even mid-level players are currently worth around €50 million. If you're looking for a truly talented striker who will be the team's star player, you'll have to pay over €100 million.
Otherwise, you won't be able to even dream of winning the Champions League or even La Liga

[slapper]

I don't think Barcelona can afford Osimhen. They are still yet to pay a ton of fee to the teams of the players they signed earlier. How can they allocate that much money to sign him? It doesn't make sense.

He is worth 75 million euros in the market and I'm pretty sure Galatasaray wouldn't let him go for a cheap price.

Lewa is entering his final season at Barcelona. In this situation, Barcelona has set its sights on good forwards. One of them is, of course, Osimhen. The club made great sacrifices to get Osimhen to play for Galatasaray, and he became the most expensive player in the club's history. I think he is extremely happy at Galatasaray, but I don't think he would say no to going to one of the biggest clubs in the world. Osimhen would be an excellent alternative for Barcelona after Lewa. Otherwise, they might lose the championship to their rivals, Real Madrid.

The choice to be in Barcelona will indeed be very difficult to refuse because after all in La Liga at this time only Madrid and Barcelona are indeed when there is an offer they provide it is difficult to refuse. It's just that it cannot be denied that for now bringing Osimhen to Barcelona is clearly not an easy thing.
They have to go through several things including the fencing of Galatasaray for Osimhen.

We know that Galatasaray brought Osimhen before at a high price and surely they will not let him go easily.
On the other hand Barcelona although they are currently quite stable for cash flow but still they also have to consider the costs that must be incurred for Osimhen's clause and salary later.
They have always struggled with salary issues in recent seasons and don't let their problems reoccur when they want to sign Osimhen.

The running of the team has been almost 4km shorter per game than it was last season. That is one 37 year old who can no longer press pulling everyone down. He scored 42 goals last year and somehow, turned out to be a problem. That is the poor fit of the tactic. And Osimhen? He doesn't press either. So they are not solving anything. They are simply replacing a non-presser of the old with one of the young who can actually win the header and finish the chances that Yamal and Rashford provide. It is simply acknowledging that Flick gave up on the high-press dream

The money side is pure chaos. They continue paying Raphinha, Kounde, and, ironically,... Lewandowski himself in the 2022 transfer. Now they would mortgage future stadium revenue on another huge signing? If it works, brilliant. What happens when the stadium money does not come? What about those VIP boxes that were turned down? We are witnessing the follow-up to their 2020s financial meltdown. I'm genuinely 50/50 on this one

How will Everton be targeting Jackson as a replacement, Jackson is also a horrible finisher. Jackson was given enough time to improve at Chelsea, but their was no improvement in him performance, now Jackson is currently at Bayern Munich, and his performance is so poor also, why will Everton think that’s the best player for them, if Everton wants to improve their teams performance, then they should just go for another player, they shouldn’t sign Jackson even on loan.

I see Jackson to be a waste for money for any club that signs him, because I don’t really think Jackson performance is going to improve. Maybe Jackson should go to leagues with lower competition maybe he will be able to perform better there, but I don’t think Jackson is really having anything to offer Everton.

I see that Barcelona is not serious with replacing Lewandowski if not, they should have gone for Osimhen during the last transfer widow before Galatasaray signed him on three years contract. It will difficult for Barcelona to sign Osimhen with their current financial challenges because Galatasaray wouldn't let him go amd if they will, Barcelona have to pay heavily.

There was no way Barcelona would have succeeded in signing Victor Oshimen when the amount that was involved in the deal prevented them from approaching him and the financial crisis that has been affecting them for the past few season, there is no way they will replace Lewandoski with Victor now that he is a Galatasaray player the amount will be expensive and Galatasaray will not allow him to go unless Barcelona is willing to pay off the amount that will be placed as a demand by his current team and Barcelona can't afford that the moment.

They have a second opportunity of signing the player, Galatasaray will neither loan the player to them so they must find means of paying completely for the player, not just Barcelona will be regretting missing out on the player earlier, other teams that will also want to sign him, before the season ends, i am sure teams will have interest for the player.

I don't remember Barcelona being linked to victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window, and Barcelona was never interested in signing him, and there is no indication that Barcelona wouldn't be able to afford Victor Osimhen, he is a player of high demand and if Barcelona was interested they will come up with something extraordinary to get there transfer target, most of this bigger clubs are more interested in players that fits into their playing system, and I don't see victor Osimhen fitting into the playing system of Barcelona, and if Barcelona were to be interested in Osimhen that would have been a bad move for them because he will not fit into the playing system of Hamsi Flick

I firmly believe that Barcelona can afford to pay between €100 million and €120 million and they desperately need a strong striker for the coming season. Osimhen would be a great replacement, they would finally have an striker who is just as deadly in front of the goal as Suarez in the past.

However, they will have to sell at least one player from their squad in order to afford such an expensive purchase. If I were them, I would sell Yamal!

They not only need a strong striker, they also need to get a strong goalkeeper and strengthen their defence at the same time. So they have a few purchases to make, and to make it work financially, they should part with someone like Yamal, for whom they can certainly expect to get over €200 million.

At the end of it all, the market conditions dictate it what the club chooses to do. Let me ask you something simple, how many center forwards out there are readily available for sale, have a good fee range for a club like Everton and also suitable wages?
Probably very few or close to none. Forget about the poor form at Bayern Munich. Maybe they hope that he will pick up at Everton.

I don't think Bayern Munich will let Jackson leave this season. Jackson will end this season before Bayern Munich let him leave the team because they see him as a backup for Harry Kane. If Harry Kane is injured, Jackson will be the backup to help the team in terms of scoring goals. I know that Jackson is not getting the minutes he deserves in Bayern Munich, but he is happy in the team and I believe that he can stay if Bayern Munich want to sign him permanently.

Everton need a striker, and are they now considering Jackson? When Jackson was struggling to get minutes at Chelsea, no one wanted to sign him, but now that they need a striker, they are serious about signing him. Chelsea wanted to sell Jackson at the start of the season, and some Chelsea fans are still talking about him for what he did for them last season.

I think Lewandowski's contract was designed such that his salary increases over the years and will end in summer 2026, which means they will have one less player who was very costly in salaries. That will give them some room for signing new players and for competitive negotiations. I doubt this position will change again as Lewandowski would be 38 years old next summer and it's not impossible that he will get an offer from Saudi Arabia and he wants to leave Barcelona without trying to negotiate with them once more. One small backdoor that I think could still be open is when Lewandowski impresses everyone and would then be willing to stay and accepts a big salary cut. He is super competitive and if he had to decide, I think he would like to keep playing, but he ould probably have to accept to be sitting on the bench more often.

Many elite teams are in need of a pure striker right now, and Napoli have taken advantage of that momentum by setting an excessively high price for Osimhen. I also think his market value is too high, even though he’s still relatively young. Fortunately at Galatasaray, Osimhen has not been troubled by injuries, allowing him to perform up to expectations.
Given Barcelona current financial situation, I think it will be very difficult for them to sign Osimhen. The club management might instead look for another veteran striker who is available on a free transfer to replace Lewandowski.

Let's forget the sweet and calming words that we have seen and focus on these two, the player which Vinicius Jr and the manager Alonso, they seem to be happy and from the above picture it show that nothing is wrong that they're on the same page but I'll have to ask, after the El Clasico game that Madrid won and Vinicius Jr was substituted with the player saying things out of anger and we could see it on his face, do these two still have a solid relationship?

I don't think there is anything wrong with these two because after the match Vinicius Junior came to coach for apologies. It was just a little matter, nothing else. Vinicius Junior is a fantastic player, and Xabi Alonso really appreciates his performance, but against Barcelona he just substitutes him because he want to use some more instructions. Which Vinicius Junior doesn't implement well and that why Xabi Alonso made him subb off.....

Xabi Alonso is smart guy, like he knew it what will be the best option to execute first for better performancs and that why he follows those steps in which the team gains more performance.

What's clear is that the Barcelona president emphasized that there won't be any new signings in January, but it's not yet certain whether they'll be in the transfer market at the end of the season. The names rumored to be of interest to Barcelona are Osimhen or Vlahovic. Both center-forwards are being touted as potential replacements when Lewy is no longer at Barcelona. But, who's better? But again, this will undoubtedly be a problem with fees and money at Barcelona.

If they are not mature about what happened at the time, then their relationship will suffer, but if they are mature and understanding of what happened because it was also driven by the intensity of the match, then they will be fine.

I saw the response of these two people and I think it's good and doesn't put them at odds. Things like this are very normal in football, but as I said it depends on the response of the two people concerned. Although there are a lot of people outside who regret Vinicius' attitude.

Better?! Rhetorical questions gives me the irk, but the answer should be Victor Osimhen. We all know why but can the financial woes of Barcelona enable them get such a player? And do they want to pay him such salaries he demands?! Dusan Vlahovic a good player but not when it comes to comparison with Victor Osimhen. Also to point put that Dusan Vlahovic is another injury prone player. Can he be counted on when it's important?! Galatasaray also would not want to let go easily. I will finally say these are speculations, since I don't see it happening. Has Deco said shit about it?!

A coach substituting a player during a match is normal, and every player should understand that, because sometimes coaches have their own opinions. Vinicius did play well against Barcelona, and although we felt it was inappropriate to substitute him, the coach had his own views on the matter. Vinicius also seemed quite upset and got into an argument when he was substituted, but the tension has since subsided. Vinicius's behavior was a bit excessive, but his reaction was spontaneous and perhaps because he felt he didn't need to be substituted. Issues like this are normal within a team.

Jackson has scored 3 goals and made 1 assist so far this season, despite not having enough minutes at Bayern, which is not really bad. He has EPL experience, had a good spell at Chelsea, and I think he'll do well at Everton. Though, at this point, it's still speculation, but if Everton can bring him to the Hill Dickinson stadium, I've no doubt he's going to perform at the club.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked their head coach according to information posted by Fabrizio Romano on X. Wolves has been struggling since the start of the season as they remained at the bottom of the premier league table. This was a Man they gave new contract just 45 days ago and wolves management has been saying publicly that they will back their manager in the January transfer window to turn their season around. It seems they have have changed their mind and sacked him after week 10. I personally think that Wolves did the right thing.
