⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[katanic97]

The fact that lookman was struggling in the relationship aspect with his old club tells a big advantage for him because there is absolutely nothing that hurts more than playing at club where you give your 100% for the game and success of the team and yet they undermine your efforts and still even crucify you for reasons that best known to them. For me I just hope that his new journey being success and trophies to him because sometimes these transfer change to clubs is hard when it comes to adaptation.

I personally think that Lookman can actually get better but it depends on how the coach gives him freedom and roles and chemistry to keep him comfortable with what he does on the pitch and for this season he didn't get that from the new coach.

Lookman was very good in Gasperini's hands but not all coaches can do the same and for me this type of Lookman is the same as Lukaku in Conte's hands.
At the moment his performance is declining but that also cannot be blamed on his current condition especially before he also wanted to leave so even though the impression is not too respectful of the employment contract for the fans but I think from the beginning he should have been allowed to leave because for now apart from this it can make his value decrease because his performance is not like before this can also make a separate loss for Atalanta.

We’ll see how he adapts in the new club. This is something completely new for him, and he’s moving to a league where he’ll have to show his individual abilities more than he did in Italy. Form is temporary, and he’s at an age where he can get back to his best, which i don’t doubt, because he’s a really good forward who can make a difference and carry the team when things are toughest. We’ll see how he settles in, but in my opinion, there is still hope for Lookman

Sörloth will likely be a secondary striker from now on. Along with Julian Alvarez, Ademola Lookman will be two players we expect to be effective in front of goal for Atletico Madrid. I think this is a very good transfer for Atletico Madrid. After adapting to the team, he has the potential to score many goals in Spain. Together with Julian Alvarez, they have a style that will wear down opposing defenders. They can easily play together.

This Ademola Lookman move to Atletico Madrid for me is one of the best news in this just concluded January transfer window, at least this will be a different and a healthy atmosphere for him to start all over. Atalanta made a mess of this player and if it was some players it would have killed the energy they play with or the form would have dropped. Now he plays for Diego Simone, I hope ATM would play more attacking football than they have been doing at least something new not every time defending with a display that is so annoying and even make the squad challenge the likes of Madrid and Barcelona who are currently fighting for the title...good move and let's see how he'd elevate the club to a greater height.

Good move for Ademola Lookman accepting offer from Atletico Madrid and will face the top teams such as Real Madrid or Barcelona in La Liga match, comparison with Serie A and current standing of Atalanta outside from the big four I think decision from Lookman leaving Serie A for joining La Liga is quite well decision.

Atletico Madrid has bigger chance for winning tittle although last several season loss dominance than keep staying with Atalanta lack opportunity for winning Serie A, the La Liga upcoming match will play in this weekend and Atletico Madrid will face strong team Real Betis and interested if Lookman can make debut for Atletico Madrid.

Although Atalanta is good club, by becoming part of Atletico, Lookman will be able to play in La Liga title on yearly way as against trying to get top four spot. This sale is perfect fit in that there is reason behind why Lookman has high rate of work and scoring, which is due to fact that he gave famous Europa League final hat trick, and this is exactly what Diego Simeone and his attacking plan way need. It is known that change between tight and back line style of Serie A to skillful and open style of La Liga might let Lookman score even more goals. He can even play as early as in quarter final of Copa del Rey against Real Betis, or on Sunday in league match. Move to one of three big teams in Spain will put Lookman in world eye that could make him worth much in case he does great in big matches such as Madrid derby coming up.

Endrick will go back to Madrid again in summer. His loan is only last for a half of season. yet, i don't think it's such a good move considering how comfort he was playing for his current club. If he's coming back, i believe Madrid will bench him again.

I said that caused by how Arbeloa has never thought to change Mbappe who played as a striker for Madrid. I believe there will be also a conflict between Mbappe and Arbeloa when his position gets displaced to give minutes for Endrick.

Watching him play at Lyon and often scored is so sweet to me. On the other hand, I’m disappointed the way Madrid treated him before he got loaned out.

I believe it may be going well if they loan him much longer instead of recall him back. Let the boy to gain his comfy and being so explosive in farmer league.

There are many people think Endrick should not come back to Real Madrid because he is not going to be a starter in the team, from my understanding those people are Barcelona fans because only Barcelona fans will not want Real Madrid to have a good player, Endrick is the future of Real Madrid and Real Madrid never considered to sell him, Real Madrid know the kind of player he is,  a Brazilian kid with a good shooting ability that is why they want him to go on a loan.

Did you know that Real Madrid made it clear to Lyon that they will pay if they did not play Endrick and keep him on the bench? Real Madrid made things easy for him to make sure he develop and come back to the them next season, if not for Xabi Alonso Endrick will be at Real Madrid having one of his best seasons in Real Madrid by competing with Kylian Mbape helping Real Madrid to score goals.

I agree with you that this doesn't seems like a wise decision by bringing him back to real madrid because he will just go back there to warm the bench, which is actually not good for his development.

I said that caused by how Arbeloa has never thought to change Mbappe who played as a striker for Madrid. I believe there will be also a conflict between Mbappe and Arbeloa when his position gets displaced to give minutes for Endrick.

I agree with you that Endrick needs more playing time if he must develop properly, but if you are going to be honest, will you drop Kyler mbape for him?

No, I don't think so. As a manager, they are under pressure to deliver good results, so he can't be doing experiments with Endrick to know if he can deliver or not especially when you have a quality player like Kyler mbape available.
What Endrick just need is like a two loan where he will be playing constantly, then after that, he can return and fight for his place, not now that he is still not mature.

We’ll see how he adapts in the new club. This is something completely new for him, and he’s moving to a league where he’ll have to show his individual abilities more than he did in Italy. Form is temporary, and he’s at an age where he can get back to his best, which i don’t doubt, because he’s a really good forward who can make a difference and carry the team when things are toughest. We’ll see how he settles in, but in my opinion, there is still hope for Lookman

I think Lookman is one of those unlucky players thag has tasted grace multiple times but this last one feels like a double blessing. When he was first sold to Fulham, he didn't have success in the club and he was rotated like he is nothing until he found a ground in Atalanta and a couple of international league gave him good recognition that made him did incredible job in the last two Europa league, and then his value skyrocket to Atletico Madrid at long last.

My fear now with all this moves that involve hype is that you don't know exactly what will happen later with him and the club. It's possible that this coach Simeone might not last another season with this club, he has only 1 year contract with the club, what if things doesn't go well and decide to quit and then get replace by another coach that doesn't like Lookman style of play. This is exactly where the problem lies with all this transfer hype and deals.

At Atletico Madrid, Ademola Lookman won't face any significant difficulties because his experience isn't just in Serie A but also in the English Premier League. Lookman has also made meaningful contributions to the teams he's played for.
We can say that Lookman will need to adapt during his time in Spain, I think so, but it won't take long if Atletico Madrid is still coached by Simone.
In Atletico Madrid's last match, Simone's star striker Sorloth had to be substituted in the 27th minute, and this will be a great opportunity for Ademola Lookman to prove that his signing was the right decision.

[ancafe]

Sörloth will likely be a secondary striker from now on. Along with Julian Alvarez, Ademola Lookman will be two players we expect to be effective in front of goal for Atletico Madrid. I think this is a very good transfer for Atletico Madrid. After adapting to the team, he has the potential to score many goals in Spain. Together with Julian Alvarez, they have a style that will wear down opposing defenders. They can easily play together.

The combination of these three could create a dangerous attack for opponents, making Atletico Madrid's front line much stronger and we hope Sörloth can become a key player there once he adapts well. The Italian league may be different from La Liga, especially since he plays for a much better team like Atletico Madrid. High expectations can sometimes put more pressure on players and if Sörloth fails, his career could be at stake. What Sörloth needs to improve is his collective abilities because if adaptation goes well individual abilities will naturally emerge.

For now it's not possible to keep Mbappe on thr bench because of Endrick. The Brazilian striker is a fantastic player but Mbappe is on another class. The French striker is strong, fast , clinical and experienced. Bring Endrick and keeping him on the bench is not cool. Maybe he would be a backup and play in less important games. The Brazilian young star is having a good time in Lyon scoring five goals with one assist.  If I were Endrick, Real Madrid should give me assurance that I would be given some playing time before coming back.

Agree the combination of Alvarez, Sorloth and Lookman must have a significant impact on the attack. Atletico Madrid is a competitor that must continue to be watched out for, since hearing the news of Lookman to ATM makes me optimistic because Lookman ability to penetrate the opponent's defense area is always difficult to stop, and the executor Sorloth only needs to welcome the bait well. Simeone task now is how to mix it up so that it can run perfectly.

He has everything needed in a striker. I get why they call him Sir Bobby Charlton now 
Kylian Mbappe is tested and trusted, we have seen him prove himself countless times during big european competitions and just like he did during the last two world cup. It will be unwise to drop him for Endrick. I think that is the only reason why Endrick is not getting enough game time, because of the availability of Kylian Mbappe. It is good thing he moved out on loan to develop himself better. I'm afraid for players like Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior. They most likely will be sold.

I don't believe it will happen, it's just a rumor because of the team's declining performance and some media outlets are raising issues that are not in line with the facts and what is clear now is that Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo are important players in the team and Real Madrid management never sells players who can still contribute to the team.

Lookman is one player that has tremendous ability, he has played football in England, he has also played football in Italy and football is the same in any part of the world, so for him to move to Spain is for him to just adapt probably to the new playing conditions he will face which is nothing far from what he knows how to do best. Atletico Madrid is a big Club, he will have the assistant of some of the best players in the world to make his job even more easier, so I'm looking forward for an explicit season for Ademola Lookman.

[sana54210]

It's a weird situation when a team didn't know his player was injured, and try to sell him. Don't you remember Boniface's case, yeah it's very similar to that case. team aware about that, but they keep silent with the hope their damaged player could pass the medical checkup, and they can cash out him.
Even a report says that Palace advised him keep play instead of getting knee surgery for his good.

Beside that Milan's medical team did it right. They saved so much money from preventing Boniface joined the club, and now Mateta. I feel they deserve some appreciation as they saved team from being scammed.
I won't be surprised if this moves is a right move. Mateta has a bum knee. He may be looking for a retirement very soon.

I do not think it's "keep silent about it" type of deal but more like "he has something small but if you want to check just in case" situation. Mateta isn't injured in the sense that he shouldn't be bought if it was only the injury itself then he could be bought and that is what they checked.

The reason why he wasn't bought is because the injury looks like it could repeat at any given moment and then it means you can buy the player, make them play a single game, and then they will be out. Same like Neymar for example, any injury he had is easy to overlook, not a problem, even missing a year is fine, but the problem with him wasn't a single injury, it was the fact that it repeated. Mateta was checked up for that reason, and medical found he could be injured easily.

agree, Endrick must continue to forge quality at other clubs, and as a player he must realize that rather than returning to Madrid too soon in a situation that does not allow him to get a place in the main squad. Given his current position then it is not time for Endrick to return, unless 1 player is sold to swap his position for Endrick to occupy his original position as a number 9 striker.

It's best for Endrick to find a new club or for Lyon to buy him permanently, as a return to Real Madrid would undoubtedly see him return to the bench. Mbappé's position at Real Madrid is irreplaceable, regardless of who the manager is. Endrick is still young and has a long career ahead of him, and he's a talented player. It's time for him to find a club that can provide him with ample playing time to further develop his career.

This is just the best thing that can happen to his career because relegating to the bench at real madrid is inevitable if he ever returns there now. Mbappe and the rest of other attacking players are ahead of him in the pecking order, so changing of club or staying put at Olympic Lyon now is the best thing for him now, since he is being played week in week out at Lyon, and it's what would aid his development faster, than seating on the bench at real madrid that minutes will hardly comes by.

We’ll see how he adapts to la liga. No league is the same, but considering he has played in the strongest league in the world, la liga shouldn’t be a problem for him. As i said, form is temporary, and he definitely has time to improve it. If he were to regain the form he had in the season when Atalanta won the europa league, that would be a perfect fit for Atletico Madrid
