⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[EL MOHA]

This is the same Arne Slot that changed the game of Liverpool last season being his first season with Liverpool through him Liverpool dominated the league and won the league title through his professional coaching, this season he made a lot of signing but nothing seems to be working with his new players the team is no longer strong and they are becoming too inconsistent in their performance. Arne Slot really needs to revive the team if not Liverpool fans will not accept him next season after the amount they spent on players.

If you watch Liverpool last season you will see that there was no difference in the team and the pattern of play, it was reported that the club wanted a manager that can play same pattern and that’s why they ditched Ruben Amorim for Arne Slot since Amorim wanted to stick to his ideology. So last season Slot actually started the season using Klopp’s pattern of play and you could see that there was success until towards the end of last season that he decides to play his own football and cracks begins to happen

In the summer Arne slot was buying lots of players and it was simply because he wanted to play football his own way but the thing is this kind of changes takes time and with the money Liverpool has spent i don’t think they have such time to do that

With Liverpool purchases this season, it makes me skeptical that Arne Slot's first season was saved by Jurgen Klopp's legacy squad. Because after his second season now Arne Slot does not seem to have the capacity to overcome great players to play optimally. Whether it's Alexander Isak, Wirtz, Frimpong, or Ekitike, all the players bought at high prices seem useless.

Arne Slot has not being the best coach at Liverpool with the inconsistent performance of the team even after he was given the opportunity to sign players of his choice.

The team has shown a lot of miscommunication on the pitch since the exit of Jurgen Klopp and that has left the current team's performance in peril.

I really want to see Liverpool get back to their winning ways as usual but the coach would need a lot of work to keep that consistent win.

With the crop of players Arne Slot has this season people were expecting Arne Slot to perform well, but the current performance of Arne Slot shows that Arne Slot hasn't been the best coach for Liverpool this season. There's a likelihood that Liverpool will continue to struggle to win their matches, because it seems Arne Slot doesn't know the perfect tactic to use at Liverpool to get the expected results.

I disagree with you on that part where you said that Liverpool this season are playing the style of football they played last season that they won the English Premier League title. The Liverpool Slot used to win the title last season where made up players that were mostly signed by his predecessor Jürgen Klopp but since Liverpool management gave him all the financial backing he needed to make significant signings during the summer transfer window, it's been difficult for Slot to blend his new arrivals with the existing players on the club and get the best out of them. Like I I've always maintained, I feel Liverpool will experience breath of fresh air should the management of the club get another experienced coach

Interesting news. Karim Adeyemi is a really good talent honestly. He is still only 23 years old. His market value is 60 million euros now but I wonder how much Dortmund would demand for him...

Kovac didn't give him much of a playing time in their last 2 Bundesliga games interestingly. I didn't see any injury situation either. Maybe there is a problem or just to rest after a Champions League week?

If Arsenal and Manchester United both enter the race I think Arteta would win it.

Adeyemi is a good player with skills and pace but he need to learn how to always put the ball at the back of the net, his finishing is not that good. If the manager Kovac isn't seeing him as a good tool to make the squad complete and stronger then he might be thinking of letting the player go and even at that we all know how weak Dortmund is whenever they face a stronger side even with the good players they have it will always be against them, so it will be better if Adeyemi move out.
Again, Man UTD have always have this habit of chasing same player any of the EPL side are going for and I agree with you that Arteta will be on top in this battle to get this player because of the champions league games Arsenal are playing, it will be best for the Red Devils to show more working to attract players to join them if not it will be decline till the end of this season.

The race for Karim Adeyemi is quite interesting, he is one of the good talents, and yes we know that Dortmund prefers to do business rather than chasing champions, and the English league team always offers a better price, the transfer is always the most expensive.

Arsenal's potential is very good for this season, especially in the few matches that have been passed in the English premier league and championship, the position also Arsenal needs speed for a fast counter-attacking strategy and therefore ii is quite suitable, while MU still needs more effort to get additional players they are also still quite lacking strategic players here, although Adeyemi is not very good in terms of execution but he can support the main executor in his attacking midfield.

A more lucrative contract offer will definitely be taken, but the long-term view and the potential to get a championship is also quite important to consider.

Even if we have seen so many news saying that the player is been linked with Arsenal and Manchester United it still doesn't tell if the club (Dortmund) are going to let him go, not for this year. The player is good but I still don't think it will be a good idea of adding such a player to the squad of Arsenal because from how they are their attacking players is more than before and they are ok without adding Adeyemi, they not really need him for now. If they desperately need him they need to offload maybe 2-3 players to make space for him. For the Red Devils I still maintain that the champions league that they're not participating can be the problem of not getting this player Sonia best to look for another way of getting back some of their players who are on loan to join them to make the team stronger again before other top players would join them.

If you watch Liverpool last season you will see that there was no difference in the team and the pattern of play, it was reported that the club wanted a manager that can play same pattern and that’s why they ditched Ruben Amorim for Arne Slot since Amorim wanted to stick to his ideology. So last season Slot actually started the season using Klopp’s pattern of play and you could see that there was success until towards the end of last season that he decides to play his own football and cracks begins to happen

IMHO, there is a difference between their pattern of play this season and the previous season. In the previous season, they could play effectively through the wingers. Salah became the mainstay player at that time, he really could make a big contribution in each match. It is quite different in this season, Salah seems to have a lower contribution. In this season, they seem trying to play in a more varied ways. Slot gives a more role for Florian Wirtz to be the playmaker in Liverpool attacking. Unfortunately, Florian Wirtz plays underperformance and Salah seems not comfortable playing with Wirtz and the new strikers. The change of the players in the attacking line is caused the decline in their performance.

Whether Slot using the Klopp’s pattern or not, I think it has no big impact because the players composition has changed in the squad. We all know that it is always difficult to get a chemistry on the new players. Moreover, the new players are in the vital position (crucial position) in the lineup.

In the summer Arne slot was buying lots of players and it was simply because he wanted to play football his own way but the thing is this kind of changes takes time and with the money Liverpool has spent i don’t think they have such time to do that

Besides the new players may be suitable with his own strategy, he also seems trying to increase the quality of Liverpool squad. Unfortunately, the new players can't adapt well. Many of them just play underperformance once they joined Liverpool.

Yeah, his performance level has slightly dropped off form the beginning of the season. I don't know what wrong with him like previously, he has been super dominant, but unfortunately this season he just dropped off his confidence and lost the matches back to back, although he spent some decent money on new player. But unfortunately it didn't even work well....

Now he really need to regain the quality of his best and gets better displays as soon as possible because if he failed I pretty obvious that Liverpool will try to find someone new who can give a better results. So now Aron Slot need to think about it and get try to utilize something new because end of the season, his end of career at Liverpool.

There's a likelihood that Liverpool will continue to struggle to win their matches, because it seems Arne Slot doesn't know the perfect tactic to use at Liverpool to get the expected results.

Several new players haven't been able to adapt to his coaching style, making it difficult for him to develop the desired playing style. Last season, the players he left behind were entirely inherited from Jurgen Klopp, but he didn't face any problems with his approach or tactics. This season, several new players he brought in to bolster the squad haven't shown any improvement. If these issues aren't resolved soon, it will be difficult for Liverpool to retain the trophy, as several challengers appear stronger at the moment.

I've heard a plan by Liverpool to revive their interest toward Olise as Salah's replacement. I remember back a few years ago they have interest in signed him, but don't understand why they didn't do that. Salah is old, and there must be a backup for him.
I thought that it would be so good if they signed Olise, but they didn't and now, they come in just after Olise's price gets inflated. At this point their sporting director deserve the sack.

If they were smart enough, they would have a long term plan. I think it's too late in signing Olise who is now one of player with most created chances.
I'm wondering you guys opinion, does Liverpool need to buy him for more than 100m?

I don't think Bayern Munich will let the player go after seeing all he has been doing to make the club go far and he had been more productive than he was at Palace, an outstanding player, the change is just massive. Olise is on another level and playing for one of the finest club in football made him to be who he is now and that amount of getting him should be more than 100m, if it was then when he plays for Crystal Palace getting him should be less than 100m but now Liverpool need to spend more to get him.
As a replacement of Mo, it will be one of the best signings they have made I mean one of the best Slot have made, that's if he's lucky enough to get the signature of the player because these days clubs are ready to spend the highest to get the best players. The Salah of Liverpool is no longer with the Reds, they player they have now is a player who is at his retirement stage and he'll perform less and thats what is happening now, Salah need to leave for Olise to come in.

Rationally, yes Bayern may not release him due to the how big his contribution to the club. He's one of their key players. However, business is a business. They may be changing his mind if Liverpool will come with massive amounts of money.
I remind you Bayern bought him for £50.8, which equal to €60m. It will be very profitable if they sell him like 140m or even more.

They still have good winger as his backup. Everything is possible as long as Liverpool send another new record of bid to him.

Are we still talking about Liverpool retaining the English premier league title?
What they should be more concerned with is making the newer acquisition blend with the rest of the team players, because it's very obvious that in as much as most of the players signed are very good, but they are still struggling with adaption as you have already said, which is a defining factor that is slowing down the performance of Liverpool to compete as expected, but the only statement I have for Arne slot is that he might get the sack if things are not fix faster, if not things might goes from bad to worst in a very short period of time.

There is always the possibility that Liverpool will offer a fantastic price to sign him, in a situation like this, then business will play a significant role in the process of the transaction. Bayern Munich could use the money to bring in other, cheaper, and higher-quality players, especially given the club's history of consistently dominating the Bundesliga.
It's not difficult for Bayern Munich to find new players, after all, they are known as a club that always poach star players from their rivals. If Olise is successfully brought in by Liverpool, perhaps Bayern Munich will use the same strategy, if the required player is not available in the Bundesliga, they will expand their reach to look in other top leagues.

Deinner Ordóñez will join Chelsea in January 2028. The young defender from Ecuador currently plays for Independiente del Valle. He is only 16 years old and has already been scouted by big clubs, but it seems Chelsea has managed to secure his signature. Since he is only 16, Chelsea will have to wait another 2 years. This situation aligns with Maresca's tactics, as he likes young talent for the long term.

[X-ray]

Crazy to see even before the winter window. Chelsea is already signed a new wonderkid. Deinner Ordóñez has become a new wonderkid signed by Chelsea from Independiente del Valle. It seems they are very aggressive in securing the talented players even before he turned 17/18.

IMO i see this as a pretty good strategy considering they can get it for cheap, and easy to flip their money. Deinner is tall, and have very good physic as a defender. He's also having good pace.

Beside that i've heard they are also interesting to acquire a Brazillian club too. What they build is now a football empire.  

Buying young players is usually a gamble because some of them might not live up to expectations. But for now, Chelsea is enjoying the services of Estevao Willian, but wonderkids like Gael Kakuta, Josh McEachran and others flopped.

Honestly, i would rather spend some millions to the young lad who have big potential instead of wasted like 150 millions to the someone who was a flop in the end. Even if the talent doesn't meet our expectation, it will easy to flip some money.

It's also obvious less risk involved when it comes gamble to the young talent.

If Adeyemi join Arsenal, for sure he will stay at bench, worse than he playing for Dortmund.

I think Arsenal is too panic because they lost many forwards and they might worried if they don't have enough players for substitution. Many of the players will back in late November, there's no need to sign Adeyemi.

However, if I were Adeyemi I would choose neither of them, we know Manchester United will destroy someone else career.

Adeyemi's most played positions are CF and LW. These are the places he has been the most beneficial in as well. Arsenal have Trossard - Martinelli duo as LW. It wouldn't be easy to compete them for him.

His highest score contribution has been when he plays as a CF... This is interesting and could push Gyökeres to play better in case of signing Adeyemi. 

His contract with Dortmund runs until the summer of 2027, effectively a year and a half left. They risk him leaving for free. But according to the news, they have already begun negotiations on a contract extension. It’s interesting to see how Adeyemi himself feels about it, because he sees interest from other clubs and probably wants a signing bonus. It's strange that Dortmund, having signed him in 2022, still haven't pulled off their favorite trick: buy a player and then sell him for twice the price within a couple of seasons 

They are in negotiations with him already? I didn't know. He should think wisely not to waste his talent. I'm not sure about his minutes at Arsenal for example. And yeah I'm also surprised that Dortmund hasn't sold him much earlier.

Arne Slot will likely be fired if he fails to improve Liverpool's performance this season. There's no excuse for Arne Slot to stay. Liverpool management fully supported him in building the team by investing large sums of money to bring in new players, as he desired. However, he failed, so it's only natural that Liverpool's management should take decisive action.
Liverpool have already spent a significant amount of money on new players, so management is unlikely to do the same again.

Well that's been the culture of Chelsea over the years and I love that Todd Boehly is maintaining it, I think it even less riskier to sign them when they're younger and groom them into prospects that would be veteran or top class players than splashing millions on players who would end up flopping on the long run, we need more younger talents to be signed, the ones who don't make it can be sold or loaned to clubs in the lower division leagues although I prefer loaning them out to get more experience.

 Anyways I'll go check out his profile later to see what he's capable of and also watch him closely to know how he performs in the academy, I love it when younger talents excel in the academy and easily graduate into the first team and shine, we really need more of them to be sure our future is secure, just like Barcelona does.

Liverpool already spent a significant amount on just three players in the last transfer window. Given these circumstances, I think the likelihood of them spending another large sum to bring in Olise is quite slim, especially if the price tag exceeds £100 million. Besides financial factors, Liverpool are typically quite selective when buying expensive players and tend to wait for the perfect moment. Therefore, they'll likely focus more on maximizing and improving their existing squad rather than spending another large sum.

I also share this opinion, as in the previous transfer window, Liverpool spent a significant amount of money to bring in three players, but none of them were able to make a real contribution. When it comes to expensive purchases, Liverpool is no longer as selective, as evidenced by the acquisition of two players for quite high prices in the previous transfer window. Michael Olise is a versatile player, possessing qualities that can be deployed on the right wing, as well as in attacking and defensive midfield, thus presenting a lucrative opportunity for the club that buys him.

His versatility is believed to be his mainstay, leading to rumors surrounding him. However, given Liverpool's current situation, it's likely they'll have a bit of difficulty signing him, especially if Michael Olise's price tag could reach £100 million, which might be considered a bit high for Liverpool at this time, given their spending in the previous window.

Anyway, these days, players are often the subject of speculation for top clubs regarding their futures. Following Chelsea's recent deal for 16-year-old Deinner Ordóñez, now one of AZ Alkmaar's stars is also being targeted by several top clubs. However, he is already 19 years old, making him eligible to join a club immediately.

Chelsea Sporting directors are doing great jobs lately, they are not formally used to scouting young talents, their main focus is on players that have already established themselves in big clubs, but now, they are putting a lot of effort to continue the chase of young talents, the  players that are yet to be discovered, and these players will be cheaper than the players that is yet to be descoverd.

If Chelsea sign this young talented player, it will be the same thing they did as they signed Estivao, and with little time, Chelsea will be a team of young talented player and they will play really well then more than.

Yes, they spent a lot of money in the last transfer window, and most of them were young players who were still mediocre, some even not yet allowed to join the club due to their very young age.

Some of them are Estêvão (Right Winger, 18), Jorrel Hato (Left-Back, 19), Mamadou Sarr (Center-Back, 19), Kendry Páez (Attacking Midfielder, 18), Mike Penders (Mike Penders, 19), and Marc Guiu (Center-Forward, 19).

However, one of their most worthy and impressive top signings this season, at his very young age is: Estêvão, the 18-year-old winger has already scored many goals and provided assists in all the matches he has played in, both for club and national team.


But for other their young signings, no, they are still not.

Its not everyday you see a 16 year old centre back get signed to a top English club but I can’t say that I’m surprised that Chelsea’s new signing is so young. The new owner has a thing for signing young players and giving them long contracts. From what I have read online, Deinner Ordóñez is an incredible centre back and shows good prospect that Enzo Maresca can maximize.  

[Hyphen(-)]

But for other their young signings, no, they are still not.

Only Estevao has proved himself worthy of the money spent on signing him, others are still struggling to get fit and playing time; but they are not doing bad at all even though the expectations are not met on them yet.

These young players will be of advantage in the future if they can have playing time and proper management, notwithstanding, some of them might not be useful because these players will also be looking for bigger teams especially if they are not having g playing time; and I am scared of Chelsea to go back to the Chelsea we see last two seasons when they have more than three squad and yet they didn’t perform well for the team.
These big players in the team will keep playing, and for these young once to have time to brake through to the team, it will be very difficult for them except in injury occasions.
