⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mayor of ogba]

Semenyo is finally becoming a Manchester City player officially. A really good move in his career honestly. He is going to a place where he can find good amount of playing time.

I know there is competition for both wings in the squad now. But maybe Guardiola is thinking of Semenyo as a replacement for Bernardo Silva in the long run. You know his contract is about to expire this summer...

I’m not surprised with this transfer, Pep wants the best talents in my squad. Semenyo is an incredible player, great on the wings, but do Manchester City really need him? You say he is going to get good playing time at City. They already got quality wingers, I don’t see Semenyo starting ahead of Cherki or Doku (maybe Doku because Pep isn’t a fan). I’m curious to see how Pep will make this work.

It's normal for you to believe that Semenyo won't start ahead of Cherki or Doku in the Manchester City team because they are good wingers. I believe Pep Guardiola was interested in Semenyo because of his scoring ability, and I think that's a good advantage Semenyo has over Cherki or Doku, and it will pave the way for him to start ahead of Cherki or Doku.

When I saw the TastyChillySauce00 comment, I laughed. I have said this time without number, the major problem in the Manchester United Club is not the coach but the players. I have given country as an example in many occasions. Yes it is good to change coach if the team is not doing well but what about the performance of the players? E. ten Hag was not doing well and he was sacked, and Amorim came in and the team was still remains the same and he was sacked again and interim management was appointed to manage the team while new coach is looked upon. The problem is not from the Coach but the players. Manchester United needs new players. That will solve the problem.

I don't entirely agree that Man Utd problem lies with the players. How many players have come out of Man Utd and performed well? This is already the answer to your statement. Then what is the problem? it's very complicated bro, maybe even Man Utd hasn't found the root of the problem because if the problem lies with the players or coaches, they should have risen from the slump. Rest assured that even if they try to overhaul the players and manage with a new coach, we will probably see the same results.

I might agree with you that most of these coaches that have managed Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson, most of them didn't have a good record with their next managerial job after leaving Old Trafford, but then again, isn't that a good reason to see that perhaps there's a big problem with the club itself, because how can these coaches be doing exceptionally in their previous clubs then on getting the Manchester United job they began having terrible results with their tactics and strategies that were previously working, even to after they now left. I don't really know, but I think Manchester United really need to look inwardly for a solution and not just about bringing in a new coach.

The reason is that because United doesn't really get people who are usually great for long time. When Mourinho came to United he was good that is true, but most others weren't good for too long, they just did a good job somewhere and then everyone assumed managers were good forever. I have to say, if United wants success, they need to get coaches who have proven success for a long time and not just once, and been doing it at everywhere they go. Like getting Farioli now for example, may look good.

Because he is doing good, but has he done great for long time? No he has not, this is the first time, they make moves like that. I would say, pay Louis Enrique 40 million a year if you have to and get him, that type of move. I know that's very tough and probably won't happen, but that's the type of thing they need.

[Renampun]

I still can't wrap my head around this Chelsea move, why Rosenior of all the established coaches in the whole world and I don't see the up side of that 6 years contract, who is going to buy him out of that contract ? If they want to terminate him from that contract because of a falling out, they will have to pay that heavy money, I just don't understand Chelsea anymore. I will always say this, if one of the brokest clubs currently, that is Barcelona, can get Hansi Flick, I feel Chelsea can do better.

We just have to wait and see if he will prove us wrong.

The selection of Rosenior as coach was a big gamble for Chelsea, because the team he previously coached, Strasbourg, was also not very good, and so far his achievements in his coaching career were also not that flashy, so many questions naturally arise whether this step taken by Chelsea is the right step, or whether it will lead to their performance getting worse. but Chelsea management should have made a very careful consideration before recruiting him, and hopefully Rosenior's appointment can improve Chelsea's performance which is currently declining.

If you remember my post about Chelsea interest in Vinicius Jr, Fabrizio reposted a post. Perhaps this is a promising sign. There's no harm in hearing rumors from who knows where, if they ultimately provide some insight.

]But sacking the coach in the middle of the competition and don't forget that currently Manchester United are in the standings which are actually still quite good compared to before that is a condition that could refer to gambling in decision making.

It is never too late to sack a bad coach. He should have been sacked since, but it's better they sack him now than keep him to destroy the team even further. He has been too horrible to remain at the club. I think after last season, the club wanted to see how much he could do if he was given the time, so they signed some players for him, but none of those players have improved. He has to go.

Manchester United should calm down and look for a very experienced and elite manager. It wouldn't be bad if they stick to an interim manager till the end of the season. They ca use the second half of the season and scout for a better manager. They can lure Nagelsmann away from Germany after the world cup, or even try to get Luis Enrique at the end of the season. I believe things will be easier for them if they get the right manager.

Maybe if this had happened at the beginning of the season it would have looked good in terms of decisions because after all they are trying to minimize from the start and the new coach can later make better schemes including player transfer plans but for the middle of the season this is clearly not good even though Amorim is not an ideal coach but the impact that will be caused can clearly be much more difficult than imagined.

We know the current conditions in the competition in the EPL are tough and when a club is unprepared including a change of coach with an interim without consideration then the results can be less certain, so in view of this I would prefer to maintain Amorim's condition until the end rather than sacking mid-season which Manchester United always do which actually makes the adaptation conditions of the new coach and the player's chemistry with the coach even worse. Although this is Fletcher who is not a new name for Manchester United but still the risk is quite large.

If you watch Manchester United players currently you will know that Manchester United have key players in the team but the problem is that the coach don't know how to manage the team very well and that is why they are struggling to win matches this season, now that they have sack Amorim let see there some few matches in the league and know if the problem is from the coach or players have playing like five matches in the league competition with the new coach we can see what is exactly problem of the club. They draw there last game in the league and getting one point home let see there next game and see if they improve better or not.

The problem goes way beyond the players. Firstly a lot of players are leaving Manchester United and they end up finding their form again they go to other teams to perform well while they couldn't at United. Secondly united have brought in good quality players over the years and still nothing changed with them, I think it even got worse instead of getting better so it means the problem is not with the players but rather with the coach or the management themselves.

Manchester United is a very complicated team and it's surprising that until now they still haven't found a solution to their problem. Without Identifying the problem how do they intend to solve the problem.  They now got am improved squad but the results are still the same even though they added some few more players and sacked Amorim I think they should think in other directions and see if they find the solution to this they are going through.

The mistake was made when they did not fire him at the end of last season. But keeping him till the end of this season would have been another mistake. I understand that the ideal time to fire him would have been at the end of the season, but keeping him till the end of the season will just make things worse. Players are talking of leaving, and others are having a poor relationship with the club. Rashford, Bruno, and Mainoo are all on their way out. Ganarcho is already out. Add this to how badly the team is performing.

It would be very difficult for a caretaker manager to perform worse than Amorim. worst-case scenario, the team will remain just as bad but it will give the club time to look for a new manager. Its not the first time a manner has been sacked mid season, it's very common. I believe another manager in the EPL might even be sacked before the end of the season

Manchester United signed players during transfer window opening, they signed Mbuemo, who is a very good winger, when he played at Brentford and made the move to United, it felt that Manchester United was going to do well having him in the club with other players that they signed. I won't totally blame it on the coach, i know that players sometimes will find it difficult to cope under a particular management tactics, even though it would have helped them.

Manchester United will be expecting a new coach, the expectations are set high now after Amorim leaves, he has to do better than him, or else he faces same judgment as the ex manager.

Over the period of time I've noticed it is almost becoming a culture for the team to put blames on the coaches and we have seen such things repeat themselves like the way they seriously blamed Ten Hag and was later sacked but when a new coach came in, nothing significant has changed and the cycle will continue if such is the situation they are. I have said it here earlier the problem bothering them goes beyond the coach but something the management should take the responsibility and also have a share of it given the players.

Nah, he reposted because he is in the program but yeah its a sign. Kinda hard to actually picture Vini going to Chelsea but this is gonna be huge if he actually move to Chelsea.

Nah, I wont be expecting anything. Its gonna be an interim manager for sure, Ole might take the job as Interim manager or something because the management wants someone better but honestly I'd prefer Amorim to take care of the team atleast until the end of season. Im actually quite confident that we could make it to top 4 if Amorim stay

It's normal for you to believe that Semenyo won't start ahead of Cherki or Doku in the Manchester City team because they are good wingers. I believe Pep Guardiola was interested in Semenyo because of his scoring ability, and I think that's a good advantage Semenyo has over Cherki or Doku, and it will pave the way for him to start ahead of Cherki or Doku.

The one thing that both of you actually need to know or understand is that every player that is coming to Manchester city should be very well prepared to actually fight for the playing time and not expect the manager to actually hand it over to them. One thing I am very sure of is that Antonio Semenyo like other new arrivals will also get his chance but it is left for him to take them.

It is not all about goals alone because he could go to Manchester city and this goals will dry up but the most important thing for a pep guardiola player is how you help the team generally. We have see the like of Marmoush actually been a better goal scorer than Semenyo but they are looking now like they do not fit into this pep playing style

Not really, players are also involved so when the coach gets blamed obviously it’s rare seeing fans blame just a specific player except when Onana played for the club. I’m sure players are involved but, the top names we usually hear during match days are all sold out so what exactly is the cause? Probably we should give new players the time to adapt I guess we might never know the real root not when Manchester United keep sacking their coach and now who’s in for a new position.

I sure hope this move won't be like that of Grealish where everyone thought he would be as deadly as he was at Aston Villa but arriving at City things went to worse. Now we have a new Bournemouth player who's joining the squad and we know how the Citizens operate, they make sure of getting players who can operate from all positions and Semenyo is the right man for the club with his skills and hard contribution to the club I think it will elevate the club to get back their lost form but I'm not expecting much from him and he could not even do half of what he did at Bournemouth.

Semenyo must be aware of this because when he joins a much bigger club, the competition for first-team places will be fierce and if he fails to prove himself, then what you fear will happen. Semenyo does have the ability to play in several central positions, but it's different at Bournemouth, where the pressure is much easier than at Manchester City. Some players experience a decline in performance after moving to a new club and this is something that needs to be avoided if Semenyo don't want to lose their best form.

Yeah each player's performance can be different in different clubs but I'm sure Pep must have been watching this player and put him on his radar, another good thing is that Antoine Semenyo can play in several positions meaning there are many options to complete the squad. I personally also think €65 million is a fair price for this player even the average transfer price of players in class A so I'm wondering whose position will be replaced? some sources say he will likely replace Oscar Bobb or Savinho while one of these players will be loaned to another club, is that the right choice?

[TastyChillySauce00]

I'm hearing Ole is still in the talk with MU to take the charge as MU's new manager. I obviously happy with it considering how Ole is having pretty high WR when he was coaching MU in the past. Just look at the picture. It shows how big the gap between him and Amorim.
It's also showing how Amorim has been destroying MU's standard. Coming as a young manager, then he gets sacked with the lowest WR in MU's history is just shameful result.

I think just bring Ole, then he will get rid all of useless players and push club's win rate again.

Erik Ten Hang was disastrous for Manchester United, how come he has this high winning percentage, or could it be that he stayed more than these other coaches! Well I can't really remember anymore and I haven't checked his duration as compared to the other managers. Mourinho is outdated, well according to most people. For me I feel his past that time to be a manager of a big team, if not his got the best win percentage and I could remember him winning the Europa League for Manchester United and also finishing second on the table in a certain season but I can't remember when. Ole, is a suitable candidate right now considering the kind of coaches that are available in the market but I learnt that if not a full time job but just as a caretaker manager maybe until the end of the season or till the club looks for a new manger. I hope the board will allow whatever manager that's coming to work instead of trying influence him.

Many blamed ETH, but they didn't realize how he won more than 50% games from his 128 games. That's also the reason why MU got FA and EFL in the same season. There's no good manager ever helped MU to won trophies since ETH and Mourinho.

As for Ole, he's available to work. He has pretty good history with MU, and why not? They're just stupid if they keep gamble with 0 epl exp manager.

But in this case the club management did not learn from their previous mistakes because before the Amorim incident we had seen ETH also leave in the middle of the season and replace him with Ruud before Amorim was handled and the result was that Manchester United looked like a mediocre club and now they are repeating the same thing with the aim that although it seems like a good thing, the conditions for transition and decline in performance may occur even more.

Last week they played for debutant Fletcher as interim and Manchester United's performance was not very good as they faced Burnley who are currently in the relegation zone alone they struggled to get points even they were behind first.
Although in terms of performance I think it was a good thing on the field but the final score was clearly uncomfortable for Fletcher in his debut as coach.

Manchester United is currently more of business than football, their fans should deal with it cause it would be very tough to go back to their glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson with the way the club is run by Glaziers and INEOS they take in more than they invest and don't even invest properly when they want to. Manchester United would only bounce back when the Glaziers decide to sell to serious owners.

 Imagine sacking Amorim with no back up plan on who would take over whether permanently nor temporarily, that's something they should've sorted out before sacking Amorim but they're still contemplating on bringing back previous coaches like Ole, Carrick or Ruud, on a temporary scale, that's to tell you the level of unseriousness at the board level. They're not even taking advantage of the transfer window to add depth and try to secure top four and when the next coach complains he gets sacked, the club is filled with drama.
