⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Alonso_]

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.

I totally disagree with your statement, Liverpool just won the Premier League tittle last season and the team have been doing well for past some years now, so why should Liverpool be treated the same way Manchester United are being treated Manchester United are a terrible team to watch for decades now Manchester United have been awful, and talking about spending money, Manchester United have spent more money than Liverpool compared to the last 10 years, when Manchester United won the title in 2013 and they started playing badly under David Moyes, the situation was different compared to Liverpool situation now, Manchester United is a club that is in crisis, and Liverpool isn’t in crisis the club is only having a bad season, and talking about the most successful club in England you will have to mention Liverpool first before Manchester United, and I don’t understand how you measure your ratio of Manchester United having more fans than Liverpool, how do you even quantify that.

Liverpool didn’t spend up to 500 million for your information, Liverpool sold as many players as they bought players, Arsenal spent more money than Liverpool without selling players, so your information is very misleading and wrong.

Manchester United isn’t the biggest team in England, that is a wrong information, and Come to think of it the season isn’t over, so how do you justify that it’s a bad season for Liverpool already because they’re loosing game ? I think you need to get your informations right before ditching them out.

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.

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.

Xabi Alonso accepted to be Liverpool coach is the past but he wasn't given the opportunity before Madrid hired him. Xabi Alonso made it clear that he can only move to two clubs if he wants to leave Leverkusen which are Real Madrid and Liverpool. Madrid has him now and he wouldn't go anywhere because he has a major role to play with the team.

Just another rumor is coming. MU is being reported to retain their admiration for Semenyo. Since this rumor is coming from Ornstein, and i believe its credibility. It's very possible to see MU to acquire him during the winter window. It will be so good to have him on the left side, and Mbeumo at the right side.
They need only to buy him for 65m from Bournemouth. I think such price is a bit overvalued, but he's PL proven so i think it's better instead of waste 65m to the non PL proven players.

I'm looking for you guys opinion regarding this. Does MU need to buy him?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Real Madrid will allow you have all the pride when your contribution surpasses the character displayed by the player just like in the case of Vini, Real Madrid understands perfectly how Vini is a greater advantage to them, the pride of a player can never be greater than that of a club, when it comes to Madrid Vini has to respect himself, finding a replacement for him will be too easy, the money to buy players has never been a limitation for Madrid to get whoever they want.

It's a fact, and they're pointing to a big name who supposedly wants to say yes to Real Madrid, and that's Haaland They've had Haaland in their sights , but we'll see if Florentino Pérez can pull it off, since he said he was leaving this year. If he lets this player go to Real Madrid, it would be quite a feat.

Getting semenyo from Bournemouth at 65m is not the problem, the problem hear is the probability that he can hit the ground Running by Maintaining consistency as he has been doing in his current club Bournemouth. For the past few seasons Manchester united have spent a lot of money in the transfer market without any prove of there investment and i dont think spending more could provide answers the the problems manchester united seeks. Although signing a player as semenyo for 65m is a very good investment because of his current development in speed, strength, quality and dominating game pattern as a sticker and I see know doubt if the transfer is concluded but the only challenge is if he can still maintain such form.

Semenyo have been incredible since last season, when you look at his number they are very good but the big problem is now will he fit into Amorim 3-4-2-1 formation. We all know Semenyo have played the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation all his career so coming into the Manchester United and playing him behind the striker will be very difficult for him and might hinder his progress in Manchester United if eventually signed. Amorim so far have proven to be rigid and I don’t think bringing in Semenyo will make him change his formation.

Well I know since Semenyo have a release clause on his deal at Bournemouth a lot of suitors will come before the winter window opens, I think the likes of Liverpool are also rumored to be on intrested in the Ghanaian. Let see where he finally ends up if he eventually get a move away from Bournemouth.

Semenyo is very talented and he can play many positions. Based on how useless Dorgu is as a LWB, I would like to see Semenyo replace him. Imagine Mbeumo and Amad on the right while Cunha and Semenyo on the left. United's attack will be very deadly. But again, this is just a rumor, and there are other clubs keen on his signature, but whoever gets him will be getting a true value for their money.

[allthebitandbobs]

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.

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

Because you do not sack the manager who won you the premier league title only a few months ago. Amorim literally finished with zero titles and 15th place and he is still keeping his job, you want Liverpool to fire the guy who got them the league title just a few months ago? Of course he is not going to be sacked, but that won't last forever.

I think he deserves to stay until the season ends, I give him time until May, and I am pretty sure Liverpool already started to look for other managers that may come in handy as well, alternatives are on the table for sure. But let him manage until May and see the end of the season and after that if the results are still as bad then they can fire him and get someone else, but I wouldn't fire him beforehand, dude deserves to finish the season even if they suck.

WHY IS ARNE SLOT NOT SACKED?

Manchester United had been patient with Erik ten Hag for months. They finally realized they had made a mistake, but ultimately chose to remain patient. English clubs used to be patient when it came to managers. Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson, and many other managers worked at the same clubs for many years. I'm not saying we have to be patient towards Arne Slot or Erik ten Hag, but I am saying that a culture has changed, that it has been lost. I don't know if it's a reflection of the consumption frenzy of popular culture, but I think they have a bad picture now...

But again, this is just a rumor, and there are other clubs keen on his signature, but whoever gets him will be getting a true value for their money.

Yes, and many Manchester United fans would probably want Semenyo to play for them because he has the ability to play in several central positions the team needs. Dorgu is still inexperienced, so it's natural for him to make mistakes, but considering his quality compared to other players in the same position, I can say Dorgu is far superior. If given the opportunity, Dorgu will probably develop further, although he hasn't been able to perform consistently yet due to his limited playing time.

Another player who will be missed during African Cup of nations competition?! No! Manchester United are not over him right now,  their main focus on getting a new 6 and the names mentioned are currently Elliott Anderson and Baleba of Brighton.
Liverpool are more after Semenyo than Manchester United. Ever since Diaz left, they never had a replacement for him. I think he will be a good Sadio Mane type of player for them. Manchester United needs a defender and midfielder right now not Semenyo!

[Luzin]

Xabi Alonso accepted to be Liverpool coach is the past but he wasn't given the opportunity before Madrid hired him. Xabi Alonso made it clear that he can only move to two clubs if he wants to leave Leverkusen which are Real Madrid and Liverpool. Madrid has him now and he wouldn't go anywhere because he has a major role to play with the team.

This is the media; they can always create rumors and interesting speculation even if it hasn't happened. Do you think Slot deserves to leave or be fired? Answer calmly. After what he delivered last season? I think it shouldn't be this quick. He is still worthy of being Liverpool's coach. There are many key factors beyond the coach. Arne Slot has made many big changes, and the players haven't yet found their best form, so they are going through a tough test because they are in a phase of transition and structural improvement.

[Zaguru12]

Liverpool didn’t spend up to 500 million for your information, Liverpool sold as many players as they bought players, Arsenal spent more money than Liverpool without selling players, so your information is very misleading and wrong.

Manchester United isn’t the biggest team in England, that is a wrong information, and Come to think of it the season isn’t over, so how do you justify that it’s a bad season for Liverpool already because they’re loosing game ? I think you need to get your informations right before ditching them out.

I also totally disagree with you and that Arne Slot is facing lesser media scrutiny because he is a Liverpool manager let the situation be the reserve and let’s say Liverpool is actually Manchester United in this situation and I can unarguably say that the media will be heavily calling him out plus players will be getting their own fair share of the blame too. But where is that energy now. You can simply say what everyone says but what is clear is Liverpool spent close to $500m in bringing new players and they are yet to deliver but none of this players are actually called out like they do for Manchester United players, even the super pundits like Jamie Carragher are no where to be found with their criticism because it is not Manchester United.

You can say they got money Back from players they sold but you didn’t use same generation of money for Manchester United who generate more revenues. Rather you simply use players they sign only, so use same metrics for Liverpool.

Manchester United isn’t the biggest team in England, that is a wrong information, and Come to think of it the season isn’t over, so how do you justify that it’s a bad season for Liverpool already because they’re loosing game ? I think you need to get your informations right before ditching them out.

Are you a Liverpool fan? If you’re one then you’re living in denial, yes Liverpool and Manchester United are almost tied on number of trophies with Liverpool edging ahead with major trophies won. But even with Manchester United decline for the past 12 years they are still regarded as the biggest club in the England in terms of fan base, finance and many more, you can actually take out your survey and even though there is no consensus I bet you Manchester United will be the most chosen. In fact Manchester United is easily in the top three of the biggest clubs in the world even at this their darkest time

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.

Liverpool suddenly into deep trouble with Arne Slot fail to produce results as they were expecting in last 18 games they are having 9 defeats last 3 with the score of 0–3, 0–3 and 1–4 worst just because of these results now rumours are moving around about possible replacement of Arne Slot.

One thing is sure Liverpool top management is not going to do anything in hurry because they understand consequences of decisions like this but if improvement will be not happened then surely something going to happen Arne Slot surely feeling pressure, but he is talking things will be back to normal and Reds will be fight back in coming matches but now it's matter of time if he fails to bring any improvement.

Xabi is not having a smooth run in Real Madrid. Maybe it's too late to evaluate his results, but the disagreement he is having with key players like Vinicous Junior is a problem. It is in the news that some key players are leading a revolt against Xabi. Among them are Valverde, Camavinga, Rodrygo and Bellingham. The club would prefer to let Xabi leave than to lose these important players. With these conditions, the Spanish tactician might consider moving to Liverpool.

The board has already made their by giving him 2-3 games to save his job, got the news from a reliable @indykaila. So let's see if Slot would keep up tp the task ahead. Well, according to your question, it would've unfair if their decision after a meeting with him was firing him, I get that many fans are not happy with the situation of the club currently but what Slot did for them last season requires that he's given a second chance.
 Signing a new coach could ruin them further cause the new manager would come with a different strategy that could take the players long or tough for them to adapt to, just like it happened with Manchester United when Amorim took over, I just hope Slot make good use of thos chance he's given so I won't get to hiring another manager and further ruining the club this season.

[jakdanyel]

Real Madrid had better convince him to stay somehow. Vinicius Junior is one of the most special players they have in the squad. Skillsets like his are always useful for big teams. He is making a good duo with Mbappe too.  

I'm not surprised about the interest from big Premier League teams. For Manchester United it would be like the best transfer they have made in the recent years by far. But it wouldn't be easy to compete Liverpool for him.

[Ale88]

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.

Well, first of all Vinicius must understand that he is no Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It looks like Perez offer him a new 20-million/year contract and his agent replied Vinicius wants 30 millions per year, that is almost the same salary Ronaldo was earning when he was the best player in the world. Is Vinicius the best player in the world? Absolutely no. So right now he's really playing with fire, especially after what happened a few weeks ago with Xabi Alonso.

If not that vinicius was robbed, trust me he would have been the best player. However both Real Madrid and vinicius can come to an agreement if they want, they could agree on 25 million per year, outside mbappé, vinicius is the second most outstanding player Real Madrid have at the moment and they cannot let him go just like that. Of course a player and the coach might have some issues but I Believe by now it has been settled. This is the point in vinicius junior's career that he needs to earn the highest, so you cannot tell him he doesn't deserve what he's asking for, the Messi and Ronaldo you are calling are all dropping and declining in their career, so vinicius are the current players that are very active, so Madrid needs to come to the negotiating table and agree on a better offer.

No, probably you didn't understand my message: I said that Vinicius is asking the same amount of money Real Madrid was paying to Cristiano Ronaldo when he was by far the best player in the world together with Messi. I'm not talking about today's Ronaldo and Messi. And right now Vinicius is nowhere near to be the best player in the world. And I highly doubt that Real Madrid will give him the increase he wants, in my opinion Vinicius is pushing his luck too much because the management is getting tired of him, and considering that next year Nico Paz will go back to Madrid they can perfectly sell him.

Manchester United? The best transfer for them but not the player. 
Hopefully it's just a passing fad and I'm worried that if Vinicius goes to Manchester United, it's like throwing his fate into the wind. That's unlikely and Madrid won't let him go either. In fact under Xabi, Vinicius movement isn't as free as it was under Ancelotti, but that shouldn't deter him. If he lets his ego down and follows the coach's wishes, he proved yesterday that he can be a dangerous partner alongside Mbappé in the opposition defense.

[Coyster]

I am not sure how true this information is, but i know Real Madrid to be an arrogant club with arrogant players. Thus, i would not be surprised if certain players within the camp are truly pushing this agenda against the manager. That said, it is too early to pass appraisal on Xabi Alonso's performance as Real Madrid boss, his team is top of the LaLiga and they are not doing too bad in the Champions League either. If the players want him out, then it is definitely not about performance but something else.
