⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Obari]

Nobody is talking about Chelsea been a rigorous team in the English Premier League. We know the matters they're handling and how they've passed the main test this season especially the ones that involves the UEFA Champions League. This weekend, they will play Arsenal and the result will determine the fate of Chelsea when it comes to the EPL this season.

Far from that, let's talk about Chelsea been one of the most outstanding club with good players. These players are credible and having the best performance. Let's see about Estêváo. This young lad have been making superb stats this season. Tbis is player that doesn't need time to build and follow up, he knows what to do and he singlehandedly spark in every big games played this season. I can confidently say Estêváo is the future of Chelsea.

Chelsea might be having a good run this period. Winning three Premier League games is commendable but there are still more games to play. These few wins in no way mean that they are now consistent because they lost last month against an average side, Sunderland. In the UCL, they are well positioned in the 7th position. Yet the race is still tough; we'll see if the Blues will make any difference this season in the top European competition.

Arsenal is really serious about this season. Maybe they are tired of always failing at the end. It is reported that Arsenal is monitoring a La Liga midfielder who is performing well. He is Elche's midfielder, Rodrigo Mendoza. Although it is said that he will only be able to move in the upcoming summer transfer. Mendoza is valued at €20 million in his release clause. Reports say that Madrid and Man City are also keeping an eye on him. Mendoza is a Spanish U21 player. With Elche, he has already played 9 times this season and scored 1 goal.

Mendoza's release clause of € 20 million is a reasonable price for a promising young midfielder, it could certainly be attractive to Arsenal. On paper, he is the kind of clutch talent Arsenal usually like, technically gifted, creative &  capable of playing in multiple midfield positions

However Arsenals midfield is currently full, with the likes of Zubimendi, Odegaard &  potentially Eze. So I doubt Mendoza will get enough game time. If Arsenal were to include him in the squad, it would be a sharp move, getting a talented player at a low price

Chelsea has improved in the past few games but this young guy Estêváo is being overhyped by Chelsea fan without having anything to prove. Someone with zero skills, zero dribbling experience is considered as the future of Chelsea? I don't intend to discredit the young guy effort but he's nowhere near the level we are trying to take him to. Some people have gone far as comparing him with Lamine Yamal. This is how Yamal hype started too and the young boy starts feeling himself talking too much on media without remorse and he's receiving the heat now for making unguarded statement before the match. At least, Yamal deserve the hype thou it was too much but this Estêváo hasn't done anything yet other than scoring lucky goals, I wonder where the hype is coming from.

Totally can understand about Vini but Rodrygo is just trash in Xabi's strategy. Considering that Xabi could play a player like Guler upfront, there is really no reason for him to pick Rodrygo though. Pretty sure that there will be alot of top teams lining up in the winter transfer for him but honestly I dont see Real Madrid releasing Vini anytime soon.

Yeah Mbappe is pretty good and wont be replaced but he cant keep on playing all those games so Vini could come in handy sometimes

In my opinion, Real Madrid indeed have no intention of letting Vinicius go, it seems that this will remain nothing more than speculation, regardless of the current situation. But unlike Rodrygo, with his inconsistent performance, Real Madrid management may be open to any offers that come in, and Xabi Alonso might not stand in the way of his departure.

Vinicius is a key player who can make a difference, and I’m sure Xabi Alonso will continue to rely on him in the upcoming matches. As long as Real Madrid do not find a player close to his quality, I don’t think they will let him go. Mbappe needs a partner like Vinicius, who is not only good at scoring goals but can also create many chances.

Sometimes Real Madrid make such comments to heat up the transfer market but in reality they don't take them seriously. Earlier in the transfer window there were rumors that they would sell Rodrygo but in the end they didn't sell Rodrygo and they just saw which clubs are more interested in taking Rodrygo at the moment and how much money they are ready to spend.
Vinicius Junior is one of Real Madrid's best players and he is in great form at the moment so there is no question of selling him to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid don't always think about financial gain but their first priority is their club's performance to maintain their club's tradition. They can sell Vinicius Junior only when they get a worthy replacement for Vinicius Junior in the team but so far I don't see a worthy replacement for him in the team.

Manchester United went through the same challenge last season, and the club management still kept faith with Ruben Amorim. Another problem might be Liverpool's ability to get a good replacement in the market. A new coach at this time of the season is like a gamble. This is because he would need some time to get used to the players and build the squad.   

How are they even the same situations?! Manchester United never spent what Liverpool did. I don't even understand why they don't get the same treatment Manchester United faced last season from the media. And if they fail to get him sacked, it might land Liverpool in a wrong situation more than their current position. Manchester United risked it last season and they made it to the Europa League Competition finals, let's see how Liverpool's management decision this situation.

The reason why Liverpool did not get the same treatment Manchester United faced last season is because Liverpool is not a big team like Manchester United, Manchester United is still the biggest team in Premier League despite having many problems since last three seasons, Liverpool club did not have many fans like Manchester United that is why people don’t banter them like the way they did with Manchester United, Chelsea and other clubs.

If it was Manchester United or Chelsea that spent the amount that Liverpool spent in the transfer window, people would have been Criticising them that with all the money they spent they can not beat even a club from another league, Liverpool spent more than 500 million in the transfer window and the team look like a team that have a injury problem with their poor performance.

Indeed it's true, Mendoza is an Arteta type of player, some are even comparing him to Pedri, but a known fact is that Arsenals roster, is stacked especially there midfield, with there signing of Norgaard, during the last transfer window, i don't think Arsenal will be quick to buy any more player, they currently have 7 good midfielders, that is, they have 3 starter midfielders, another backup three, then even a remaining one as reserved, so i think Mendoza won't be going to Arsenal anytime soon except  circumstances change.

As for the Liverpool case, i have always said, the ghost of Klopp gave them the premier league tittle, currently i can see that the players don't want him, this is not the Liverpool we use to know, especially them playing in Anfield, there have always been something special about there home games, now they lost 3 nil then the next fixture 4 to 1, it's really disappointing, i think it's high time he goes because with greater gifts comes even greater expectations, but Arne Slot isn't even doing average talk more of greater expectations, the amount of money they spent is no joke, they should better.

[Stable090]

WHY IS ARNE SLOT NOT SACKED?

Liverpool fans need to answer the question because if it were a team like Chelsea or Manchester United, by now, Arne Slot should be leaving the club already.

Don’t you think it’s too early for Liverpool to sack Slot? And the main question is if Slot is being sacked, who is going to replace him? Slot was able to win the premier league title last season, so I just think he will be given more time to see if he will be able to fix Liverpool problem. I don’t just know the cause of Liverpool current decline in performance, they played well last season, they started the season well, but all of a sudden their performance dropped.

With all the money spent, they keep getting defeated by any team they meet. Especially teams that are supposed to gain points from.

It’s surprising how Liverpool have been playing poorly, everyone expected something different from Liverpool this season because of the amount spent. When Liverpool were signing those players, I was just so confident that Liverpool will end up winning the premier league again, but currently Liverpool are at the middle of the table, they are struggling to win matches, with the players that Liverpool are having, they finding it difficult to win even weaker teams.

[Nheer]

WHY IS ARNE SLOT NOT SACKED?

Its because they are not used to this kind of situation. Klopp took control back then and delivered steady result, Slot was his replacement and he won the EPL on his first season so the board just agreed with him spending all those money because they thought they could win more trophy with Slot.

That's right, they are not used to situations like this and for a while now they have had things easy since Klopp gave them a good life. The fans are not happy, they are all complaining about the poor performance but I don't think Slot will be sacked easily because he just won the league title for them last season and Liverpool doesn't get managers sacked easily. The problem people are having is that they spent a lot of money and still get beaten by almost every team instead of them to be dominating the league. I know there is a limit the management can tolerate the bad performance, if he doesn't improve soon I am sure they will start thinking about sacking him.

Chelsea might be having a good run this period. Winning three Premier League games is commendable but there are still more games to play. These few wins in no way mean that they are now consistent because they lost last month against an average side, Sunderland. In the UCL, they are well positioned in the 7th position. Yet the race is still tough; we'll see if the Blues will make any difference this season in the top European competition.   

Losing is normal and even a team about to win the league can even lose to small teams and we even know how strong Sunderland is this season, they are a very stubborn team that even the Almighty Arsenal couldn't win. Chelsea struggled because they were  missing certain players and especially from the defensive line they hard difficulty to balance it up that was why they struggled. They might not be as good as Arsenal but they will definitely be strong too. The game against Arsenal will be a tough one for Chelsea but still it's hard to predict the outcome. And in the champions league nothing can be said now until we reach the knockout phase.

I came across an interesting tweet that showed a list of players who were happy and unhappy with Xabi Alonso. I don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense Vinicius is obvious, Rodrygo is also not getting minutes and Endrick is even worse not getting a chance. Give us your thoughts on this, maybe we can share a bit about what's really going on behind the scenes on this hot issue. Because lately the news I find is always about player and coach feuds.
Which camp is Perez worth defending?

For me there are no doubts. If I were Perez I wouldn't think twice about selling players like Vinicius, who is asking a ridiculous amount of money to renew his contract, and Rodrygo, which is clearly not good enough for Real Madrid. I'm sorry to see Valverde in that list, he is a great player. Endrick should go somewhere on loan to play regularly so we'll see his real potential.

But that issue of Vinicius asking to be on equal wages with Mbappe has been settled some months ago and they are all ok now. The club insisted they will not go beyond their policy in increasing his wages because if they do, then other players will likely protest and will also want theirs to be increased. The club already made it known to him that there will be no addition to his wages the way he wanted it. He was given an option, either to accept what the club is offering him or he leaves. For a while I haven't heard of that salary issue again which means that both Vinicius and the management are good.

I am with changing the manager because the results of Liverpool are so bad.

Five candidates to replace Arne from my local article.
I was surprised to see Jurgen Klopp name on the list, who would have been a big hope if he returned to Anfield. He led Liverpool to so much success and even left a legacy for Arne, who won the title without difficulty in his first season. However, this is just a rumor and remains unconfirmed. What is clear is that I strongly agree with the management immediately considering sacking Arne, while there is still time in the second half of this season to regain their competitiveness.

[Mayor of ogba]

If Arne Slot had achieved these results last year, he wouldn't have been criticized so much, but after winning the title this year and bringing in such excellent players and achieving such results, he's naturally being criticized. Perhaps Liverpool is already searching for a new manager. They've suffered defeats in both the league and the Champions League. Fans aren't used to these results after last year's magnificent season.

Most fans believe why Liverpool can get premier league trophy last season because squad legacy from Klopp and we can see it that Klopp have made good squad before leave and this make Slot very easy to make the strategy but when he build his own squad by buying several players it doesn't work well even mostly the players he buy were flop and about Slot replacement there was a rumour the fans want Klopp to return but as caretaker coach until this season ended but this is interesting because the owner considering one nane and he is Steven Gerrard

Is it possible for Klopp to come back to Liverpool because I thought that he's gone for good. Maybe, he might want to be national team coach but he is in Red Bull as the globla head coach who oversees their football operations globally. Will be a headache for him to come back to Liverpool or to go back to the field.

I don't think it is possible for Jürgen Klopp to return back to Liverpool because it was his choice to leave Liverpool at the end of his contract. But for Jürgen Klopp to become the global head soccer at Red Bull, if Liverpool management approach him to come and coach Liverpool again, there could be a chance he will accept their offer.

[Odusko]

What a huge discrepancy. 10 million vs 60 million (if the reports are real). I wonder what the details are on that buyback agreement. Will Real have a priority, or do they need to fight with other clubs if the player is interested? What's the usual practice for deals like this?

Real Madrid has priority. Part of the deal is that Como must get Real Madrid's permission before Nico Paz will be sold to any other club. This is the reason his move to Tottenham could not materialise in the summer because Real Madrid did not approve of it.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/future-of-madrid-how-real-madrid-blocked-tottenhams-pursuit-of-como-sensation-nico-paz/view/news/459210

Clubs are business and their have a clear agreement and terms of service that the player must follow to be sold out r bought back, the club management have a large say in players movement and all that is stated clearly in the players contracts and terms of contract, so we can't say but in this case the manager must first have to get the clubs owners permission before any contract change with the player in concern.

Nobody is talking about Chelsea been a rigorous team in the English Premier League. We know the matters they're handling and how they've passed the main test this season especially the ones that involves the UEFA Champions League. This weekend, they will play Arsenal and the result will determine the fate of Chelsea when it comes to the EPL this season.

Far from that, let's talk about Chelsea been one of the most outstanding club with good players. These players are credible and having the best performance. Let's see about Estêváo. This young lad have been making superb stats this season. Tbis is player that doesn't need time to build and follow up, he knows what to do and he singlehandedly spark in every big games played this season. I can confidently say Estêváo is the future of Chelsea.

Yet the race is still tough; we'll see if the Blues will make any difference this season in the top European competition.   

Talking about Chelsea's stand in the European competition I think Chelsea is doing exceptionally well this season they are currently sitting in the 5th position. They are having a better and good chance of qualifying for the knock out stage . They are currently informed they doing and evening getting to beat strong oppositions like Barcelona if they can put more efforts on ensuring that there defense is super strong enough then I think they ready to face an team whatsoever.

Before it's too late, the club management and executives should already be considering finding a replacement for Arne Slot. Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Zidane, Xavi, Steven Gerrard, and Jurgen Klopp are among the names rumored to be potential successors to Arne Slot. However, I think Liverpool management will also consider several other managers, what’s clear is that they must act as soon as possible before they lose all remaining opportunities. Meanwhile, it’s not surprising to see Klopp name appear on the list, he is a legendary Liverpool manager and might consider returning to Anfield.

[Dump3er]

As much as I would like to think, calling his reason genuine because he does it for his home country goes too far. First and foremost, and there is nothing wrong about it, he does it for himself. As a consequence he can be of help again. It is quite often that players have to make tough decisions when they already play for a big team like Chelsea and occasionally they get lucky and pushed into their team by circumstances like injuries, but that is nothing a goalkeeper can hope for forever. It can be as effective for him to leave, play for a team that is assumed to be weaker, and then become the best man there. It won't be long until the big teams knock on his door again.

Makes lots of sense and I think that what they players do not just goalkeepers. It's simple, since they can't break into the starting eleven of a big team, the best option is for you to leave, look for a small team that will give you regular playing time, develop yourself and be at the top of your game. It won't be long, it's won't be just one big team that will start looking for your services. In some cases, your previous team will be in the forefront for your signature. We have seen this happen before.

On the one hand it is true that it is like this for all players and not just goalkeepers, on the other hand goalkeepers find themselves in situations with bad outlooks more often than players from all other positions. If you are a defender, you can get a chance whenever one of the four main defenders can't play or you could be given a chance in a midfield position.

As a goalkeeper when there is a strong guy occupying the position and makes no mistakes, the outlook is very dark and you can either wait until something suddenly happens or take action. In some clubs there have been goalkeepers that played literally every game for five or more years. I wouldn't like to be a substitution goalkeeper there hoping for a miracle.

I came across an interesting tweet that showed a list of players who were happy and unhappy with Xabi Alonso.

Give us your thoughts on this, maybe we can share a bit about what's really going on behind the scenes on this hot issue. Because lately the news I find is always about player and coach feuds.
Which camp is Perez worth defending?

Perez is certainly behind Alonso for now, so long as he keeps performing well. It will only get better for him if Real Madrid lift a trophy. He was given the freedom to choose the player he wants to use at the beginning of the season, so I don't see how the president would make a U turn and go against him in the middle of the season.

Some of the players are certainly going to leave the camp in the end, and I see the Brazilian trio leaving if they insist because Real Madrid and Perez do not bargain all the time.

[Iroh]

When Liverpool were signing those players, I was just so confident that Liverpool will end up winning the premier league again, but currently Liverpool are at the middle of the table, they are struggling to win matches, with the players that Liverpool are having, they finding it difficult to win even weaker teams.

It's quite surprising that Liverpool is going through a really bad spell at the moment. And like you noted, this bad spell is surprising to their supporters, seeing as they put in a lot of investments in bringing some new talents to the club in preparation for aggressively chasing and winning the epl title. Now, it doesn't seem to be going as they had hoped as their new signings hasn't made any positive impact on the team so far.
That's why you can see people today arguing that they should have let their coach go at this point without caring much about who'll replace him if he's let go. 

[blue Snow]

Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Zidane, Xavi, Steven Gerrard, and Jurgen Klopp are among the names rumored to be potential successors to Arne Slot.

Meanwhile, it’s not surprising to see Klopp name appear on the list, he is a legendary Liverpool manager and might consider returning to Anfield.

Many rumors appear that he could take a coach bench. A problem is, is he willing? Because he has a prestigious job as an executive at Red Bull, he doesn't need to worry about how to develop a strategy for the squad. He has experience got intense pressure when he was at Liverpool, this situation will make him think twice before handling a club. Mnay names appear to take over Slot, Xaby is also one, but Xaby is still very comfortable in Madrid. The fans are very happy the club in a top situation, which I think is impossible, he will return to his old club.
