⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shinratensei_]

If Villa is interesting in Marmoush, i don't see a reason for him to reject it. He's lacking of minutes in City, and he has to go. He has been a flop since he joined City, and his place already overtaken by other player. He's very uninspiring at City. Even if he's leaving as a loan, it'll better for him.
He's a good footballer, but he doesn't know what's his best position on the pitch. So i think he can take Sancho as his motivation to join in Villa. It's bad a talented footballer like him wasted for nothing.

Join villa, get more minutes, become the next egyptian king.

Honestly speaking I don’t really know what happened to Omar Marmoush, because come to think of it last season was he was bought during the January Transfer Window Manchester City was playing very badly, but he is the shinning light for the team, he scored many goals when Haaland was injured he was the main man for the Manchester City, but unfortunately he got injured and ever since that injury he hasn’t been the same player. Hearing about this transfer speculation from Aston Villa is heartbreaking for such a caliber of player, anyways I don’t really know how true this transfer speculation on Social Media is true, but let’s keep our finger crossed on this one and see how it goes, this might just be an ordinary rumor, the player is currently in AFCON and I believe he will love to focus on the AFCON games and anyways he will be a grate addition to Aston Villa if the transfer goes true, I think this speculation is a result of Anton Semenyo transfer speculation to Manchester City.

Mamourh has been underperform since he came in. Since then he never improved. When Cherki was coming, his place gets displaced. He doesn't know what to do. Playing only a few games this season is obviously harming his performance. Even if it's not Villa who will come for him, in the end, he has to accept it.
I know he was at AFCON atm. However, there's no reason to abandon his future once AFCON will be finished. Whether it's Villa or not, he has to leave.

Seeing Rosenior heading toward Chelsea's HQ in london is obviously telling us he is most probably gonna be a new manager of Chelsea. Honestly, it's hard to understand the way Chelsea management think about this. They hire a coach from their sister club instead of going for proven coach.

It's good if Rosenior won't be a flop. However, it's gonna be a disaster if he's just another Graham Potter in the making. I'd rather defend their current interim until the end of season. one point at etihad just one day after the sack of previous manager is truly impressive.  

We don't know much about this coach because Rosenior isn't a particularly successful coach and was also Wayne Rooney's assistant at Brighton U-23. Rosenior's track record as a manager at a major club like Chelsea is questionable and I'm not sure he'll be much better than Enzo Maresca. In the Premier League, becoming a successful manager isn't easy, as a manager like Jose Mourinho can end up doing very badly, even if he was initially considered a great coach.

We don't know why Chelsea is considering him as a replacement for Enzo Maresca, as there are many other coaches with more proven track records. One point obtained against Man City is much better considering that Chelsea have fired their previous manager and I am starting to doubt Chelsea's ability to compete for the top three positions this season.

Any thought?

Hiring coaches and players is like gambling. Their past performance is not a sure criterion that they will succeed in a new club. Some sports pundits are saying that Chelsea would have gotten a world-class coach who has a track record of success in top clubs. Out of the list of good coaches like Oliver Glasner, Cesc Fabregas, Andoni Iraola or Roberto De Zerbi, Chelsea management thinks that Liam Rosenior is the best. As I said, it's all a gamble, and Chelsea might save some cost since he is coming from a sister club. Two things will happen, he might succeed or be sacked later.

Their owners ^[BlueCo] made a shocking decision to go with someone who has performed slightly worse ^{[in an easier league (Ligue 1)]} than Maresca, but having said that, it could also be that none of the other good coaches are interested in joining them at the moment ^{[I don't blame those coaches]}.
^{- I also agree with you about giving the interim coach (McFarlane) more time before deciding to choose the next one, but it'd probably be best to assess the situation before the January transfer window closes (8 games to play).}

Man United doesn't care about talented players; they care about players who obey them. And maybe it's because of Bruno's age? Who knows, but what's certain is that Bruno has become a truly talented player and is optimizing everything to stay afloat.
Who should United get rid of him? Well, this is actually a bit odd considering Bruno's contribution to Man United so far.

Bruno Fernandes is a world class player who can dictate play and maintain depth. If Manchester United management considers releasing him for any reason, they will struggle to find a suitable replacement. He may be getting older, but to get through this difficult period, Manchester United desperately needs a player like Bruno Fernandes.

If there's any news on the internet that Manchester United management are ready to release Bruno Fernandes for any reason, don't believe the news because it's a rumor. Manchester United is in a difficult situation right now, and since they aren't playing in the Champions League, they are finding it very difficult to attract quality players, so I think they won't be that stupid to release Bruno Fernandes when they aren't even sure of getting a good replacement for him.

Not appearing in the Champions League is one obstacle for Manchester United to get the players they want, although I don't 100% agree with this. This season, Manchester United are fighting to appear in the Champions League next season, and their chances of playing in the UCL are still possible, considering that several top teams are inconsistent. This is where Manchester United's advantage lies in attracting the players they are targeting. Bruno, who is reportedly ready to be released by Manchester United's management, I also do not entirely consider this to be just a rumor.

Am surprised that this news hasn't gotten to this thread yet, guess I will be the first. According to Romano; REUBEN AMORIM HAS BEEN SACKED!!!
Following his 1-1 draw against Leeds, Reuben Amorim has been released as the head coach of Man United because of several factors, and plus a not so excellent performance, it is said that Darren Fletcher, the under 18 team coach has been appointed interim manager following the appointment of a new head coach.

What you guys think of this ?

Amorim surprisingly followed in the footsteps of Enzo Maresca. His tenure was very short, and we're about to see more turmoil at this team. I thought Amorim would be at Manchester United for a while longer, but this news feels so sudden, perhaps after a winless run has become a source of discontent among the club's hierarchy. So, who else will be part of Manchester United's next turmoil?

It is a welcome development for Manchester United. Let's be Frank that Amorim is not good for Manchester United and his sacking is not a surprise to me. If Amorim was at a ruthless as Chelsea he would have been relieved of his duty since last season. He was due for sacking since last season but somehow the Manchester United management decided to give him more chance to see if there were more things left in his empty head. But Amorim has proven that he has nothing more to offer. There were high expectations on him and he just couldn't deliver. If you are a manager that's drawing against wolves at home and draw against Leeds in succession what else is left inside of you absolutely nothing. He should go back to Portuguese league were he is fit.

Looking at how  all of this unfold at Chelsea really breaks my heart how the English government has destroys Chelsea by using it to play politics, and finally took the club away from Roman abrahimovic and hand it over to a group of lunatic to handle.
Instead of them hiring a proven manager, they are hell bent on doing experiments with the club with someone that has zero experience managing a top team like Chelsea.

Just imagine, Strasbourg coach  Liam Rosenior is whom is now hired to replace Enzo Maresca, a coach which achievements is unmatched to managing a prestigious club like Chelsea. I always say it, that if it was to be in the days of Roman Abramovich many players and managers who are found in the Blue shirt would never have, because for Roman Abramovich, quality was everything as a result of his love for Chelsea FC he always brings in the best brains and talents. Unlike what we're seeing today.

What about that story that Man Utd trusts him? In my opinion, Amorim is not the problem at all ,  the problem lies exclusively with the players who play for this club. So many poor results and so much disappointment over the past years that no manager could realistically cope with it. Amorim had good intentions, but he didn’t have the capacity to withstand the pressure and to "turn an old woman into a young girl," as the saying goes. It’s hard to talk about it, but i don’t know when Man Utd will recover from everything. I think they lost a lot by letting Amorim go.

I guess Manchester United has yet succeeded again in making another good manager look bad because the last time I checked where I Ruben Amorim was coming from to Manchester United, he was doing great over there and hence his attraction to the falling big iroko tree. who's now taking every coach along with it to the ground. We keep fingers crossed right about now to know who their next victim would be for a coach.   imho, United needs to overhaul the team to begin with about thinking success.

He may be getting older, but to get through this difficult period, Manchester United desperately needs a player like Bruno Fernandes.

United has always wanted to get rid of Bruno for many years now, only reason why they can't is because he is their best player, nobody else played as well as him during all of this turmoil period they had since SAF retired.

However, that doesn't mean they like him, you can be a good player and they can still dislike you, because they know that fans would prefer Bruno over the management and that is why they hate him. Maybe they will sell him to Saudi league and get a lot of money, if they can pull that off then they would make the fans understand why they had to do it, because the offer was too good to refuse, and for that reason I think it would not be that crazy to think that we would be seeing this be a better one.

Ruben Amorim sacked? I'm not surprised that he's been shown the exit door. The Portuguese have been too inconsistent and comfortable with the poor results he's been getting as the club manager. He's done almost nothing to improve the club's performance over the period he's been incharge of the team. Manchester United used to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe but since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, they've been struggling to get a manager that'll take them back to winning ways and the exciting football they're known for.
I initially thought that Amorim will bring his magic from Sporting but no, he's been performing like an average manager. Hopefully, his successor will have a better record and probably last longer.

I just saw the news and am continuing to investigate the root cause of this sacking. Whether it's a player, a coach, or anyone who initially excelled at their previous club, and then moves to Man United it's tantamount to resigning themselves to destruction. They will always fail to live up to expectations. Look at Sesko, Cunha, and in fact almost every player has shown very unsatisfactory performances.
If Amorim had stayed at Sporting, perhaps he wouldn't have been so devastated. Now, his career is on track to be the same as Erik Ten Hag, destroyed by this cursed club.

Left for me, what you said here is the best decision they should take if they can't get a top class coach, because things can easily goes from bad to worst if Rosenior Chelsea team performs badly and are dropping more points.
Enzo maresca has already done enough damage to the team to an extent, Chelsea team doesn't need more of it any longer because it's going to have serious negative effects on the players psychology and the way they approaches games.

This blue co owners of Strasbourg and Chelsea are really a joke, they are gambling with this whole thing. Liam Rosenior is the current Strasbourg manager, a club also owned by Chelsea owners, Chelsea usually send players to Strasbourg on loan to develop them and if possible bring them back to Chelsea. Now they’ve extended the same pattern to coaches and managers, not only players. They are looking for a manager who they can control and who will do according to their instructions. These are not the kind of managers or appointments capable of winning you the premier league. Why sacking Enzo Maresca for someone like Liam Rosenior if truly you want to be a serious league contender.

I never expected this news to come out after Enzo's sack, Amorim sacked too? This is crazy, still watching to see if they'll have to change of news but yet again Amorim won't be on the sidelines against Burnley, Darren Fletcher will be in charge for the main time but the thing is , Amorim cost all these to happen this year, just 14 months in charge. I wonder what would happen to the skipper who changed his mind of leaving the club, can Bruno Fernandes have a rethink since Amorim have left the club?

When will Manchester United get it right, why sacking the coach now who else do they have in mind right now, before sacking a coach you need to think about a very good coach someone that has proven himself many times in many club, right now that's the kind of coach that Manchester United needs if they don't have that kind of coach in mind or ready then they will continue having this problem of not being inform always, and again Manchester United players needs to be change because the players in Manchester United right now are not playing a good football what Manchester United needs are good talented players. I hope for the best for them and I wish them well This season.

Again and again. LOL.
Honestly, I was a bit surprised by the sacking even though I knew it would happen but I didn't think it would be in the middle of the season like this. If you believe in superstition, Man Utd seems to be affected by a curse, just count how many coaches and players who initially had achievements and good quality elsewhere when moving to Man Utd their quality decreased. They have difficulty lifting Man Utd to achievement. I have been saying for a long time that the problem is not with the coaches or players, the problem is with the club itself, massive purchases and or changing coaches many times if the root of the problem is not fixed then we will still see further victims like Amorim today.

I watched Manchester United's game against Leeds United yesterday and was surprised by the deteriorating condition of the club. They have some of the best players, but they seem to lack coordination. Ruben Amorim deserves to be sacked. The Manchester United board has been very patient with him. I thought he would have stabilised the club by now but their display shows that he is not doing a good job. The fourteen months he was in charge have been a nightmare for the fans. Darren Fletcher will be in charge until an interim coach is appointed.
