⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Taricoins]

Glasner made it clear if he's leaving from the club at the end of season. So palace has to find his replacement. There are so many experienced coaches were available. Many of them are jobless such as Xabi, Xavi, South Gate, and etc. However, i don't think the big name like Xabi is keen enough to take Palace's job.
Yet, there is still possibility for Xabi to take it. It's because of he has ever coached the leverkusen, which was a mid-level team. So why can't do the same on Palace? As for South Gate, expecting them to sign him to be a hilarious thing.

Nevertheless, i have also a scenario where they may take rival coach to handle their squad. The name such as Thomas Frank may be sacked at the end of season. So it makes sense to expect he's jumping to Palace.
While at the same time, Andoni Iraola can also be an alternative, though they have to buy out him out from Bournemouth.

I wouldn't want to see Iraola go to Crystal Palace because I like seeing in Bournemouth as he is keeping a recommendable performance, and exceeding expectations, Glasner should just leave the Crystal Palace project because I honestly feel that team doesn't appreciate him enough, especially for what he did for them by making them win there first ever major trophy ( FA Cup). His spell just just come to an end.

Thomas Frank is still not sacked by Tottenham despite a horrible season! They aren't competing in the Europa League either which could have been a second chance to qualify for the Champions League.

They are 14th in the Premier League now. They haven't won a single game for 7 weeks... What are they waiting for? I would have already sacked him if I were them.

Thomas Frank deserves to be sacked for the poor results in the Premier League. I'm not going to mince words about it, but I think the reason the club director hasn't taken this decision yet is due to their performance in the Champions League. Despite the struggles in the EPL, Tottenham is still doing fine in the UCL. They just qualified for round 16. The moment they get knocked out of the UCL and the results in the EPL do not improve, I'm sure Levi won't hesitate to sack him.

Even though, just thinking about that logic for them to keep him is just too wild, and they think in there vague imagination that he is going to actually win a Champions League for them ? Maybe they just want to do it during the off seasons but they should also consider that Tottenham is just 6 points away from the relegation zone.

I honestly didn't expect this performance from Thomas Frank because when he was in Brentford, he was performing excellently, and of he gets sacked I wonder how that would affect his portfolio.

In some seasons, teams struggle to manage both the league and the Champions League simultaneously, and when this happens, they tend to prioritize one over the other. I think that's exactly what Tottenham are doing this season. They're progressing well in the Champions League, which is a success for Tottenham. They're far from where they want to be in the league, but there's still a long way to go in the season, and they'll strive to improve their position.

If the team prioritizes performing at their best in European matches, then they might not be able to perform at their best in league games. As I said, this is one of the choices made in certain seasons.

I don't know if Xabi Alonso will still hold on to his pride because I remember vividly, that he said the only EPL club he would love to coach is Liverpool. For this reason, I don't think that he will love to go to Palace if they call on him.

Glasnar has tried his best for Palace and gave them their first biggest trophy ever last season which was FA cup. He also won the community shield this season against Liverpool. If he wants to leave and try a different club good for him.

That's not surprising for Tottenham, because whoever the coach is, he is not required to qualify for the Champions League or Europa League. The only thing Tottenham needs to do is stay in the Premier League. So, whatever position they achieve, as long as they are not in the relegation zone, it's not a problem.

What is so special about Spurs?
After Kane left, and then Son, the club has lost its appeal.

[Localhostspeed]

Actually, Real Madrid didn't play badly at all at the start of the season. Managing Real Madrid is certainly more difficult than managing Liverpool, because there you have to deal with the whims of some players. I believe Xabi Alonso could be successful if he takes over at Liverpool. The Spanish manager could be a very good option for Liverpool, but first, that position needs to be vacant.

It seems you guys don't know how spoilt Real Madrid players are but I don't blame them, the club gave them that class to act like they are bigger than the club and that's the altitude they showed Xabi that made him exit the club willingly. I will rather go to a place I'm appreciated and respect where I will do my best than stay in a place where I will be look down and boys working under me will not feel like I'm giving them instructions, good relationship is among what makes a good team.

I'm not sure yet if Xabi will make a mistake to move to Liverpool with their current condition. The team is having high expectations, this was what Real Madrid were when he came to the club and now they want him again in Liverpool. If he goes there and he is unable to give them maximum satisfaction, they are going to discard him like they want to do with Arne slot but I doubt if they are going to end their relationship with him anytime soon, it's not that bad yet for split.

He still has one more year on his contract now. I wonder what Arteta is thinking about these rumours. Or at least about keeping or selling him soon...

He can still be a good use in the rotation if Gyökeres continues to score like this. He is at least bringing some competition in the area. His contribution in some games are also valuable for the team.

But Tottenham are 4th in the group stage of the current Champions League   Theoretically, if Tottenham win this Champions League, they will automatically qualify for the next Champions League directly (which will increase the number of English clubs to 6 haha). But overall, yes, the stats are terrible. Tottenham are now closer to the relegation zone than to 9th place! I don't see any chance that they will get into European competition next season. It would be interesting to know what the management's patience limits are.

Theoretically yeah, it is possible! But when it comes to practically, it would be a huge surprise if Tottenham win the Champions League.    If they were a part of the Europa League, I would see their chance of making it higher.

Casemiro's contract is gonna end this summer. So Manchester United is looking for his replacement. Yet i'm a bit surprised with how they put Tonali in their short list as his replacement. I know Tonali is good, but i don't think he's the right person for the job.
I'd prefer to see Anderson as their target instead of Tonali. The reason is clear Anderson is a hard working guy. He's also everywhere like what Casemiro did. I think lad must be a better choice instead of Tonali.

Other than Tonali and Anderson. They can also try to consider Wharton as an alternative. However, i put Anderson as my preferred choice followed by Wharton, then Tonali.
Nevertheless, i expect the transfer to happen at summer when Casemiro is officially leaving from the club. Any thought about this?

I agree. Don't get me wrong, Tonali is a good player and I do not doubt that at all, but he isn't the level of player that United needs right now. United is on the verge of a big change, and they are doing wonderful with Carrick right now, and they need to get someone who can actually be amazing for them to make a difference and maybe fight for a title.

They are already fighting to be top four, after this level only thing left is fighting for a title, they may not win it, but at least build a team that may fight for it and Tonali wouldn't help with that.

The obvious truth is that every Liverpool supporters are disappointed in Arne Slot, he is no longer the man for the job, Manchester City have never done a double against Liverpool in 89 years and now several records that we have at Anfield have been broken and destroyed by Arne Slot, Arne Slot is a disaster and a waste of time he is just a terrible manager and a coach, I don’t really understand what is happening with this man, you spend so much money and there is nothing to show for it instead they keep loosing games for fun, I’m so disappointed with Liverpool performance this season and they will not qualify for the Champions League next season it’s been a disaster of a season for Liverpool Football Club.

Exactly every Liverpool fan is too frustrated and even too disappointed from him because he didn't even make any good progress although he spent a lot of money to brought player but unfortunately still he didn't even make any sense. Liverpool should need to kick him out and brought someone who can do the job in better way. Aron Slot is nothing except waste of time. Littrely I am too distracted by his performance level like he has better team than others competitor but still he is utilizing a less progress than others.....

Now if Liverpool sack him off the who will be his replacement like who will be the next to do the management job at anfield. Does Xabi Alonso will make sense or not. What did you think Guys. Let me know

With the level of standard and achievement made by the current coach, there are big differences and changes of the manager. He proven to the board to become one of the best things that have happen to club in decades. He's more better than Patrick Vieira who manage the club for years and end up with poor form.

Olivier Glasner deserves his flowers after beating Liverpool in final and in league games. He is exiting the selhurst park at the end of the season, we both know it's no good news for Crystal Palace because the manager have succeeded in lifting trophies for the Eagles.

Has one year contract left Arsenal get opportunity to earn fees transfer if selling him as soon as possible exactly Milan interested for signing Gabriel Jesus, have a long history of injury should be reason for Arsenal to sell him if won't the player become free agent when his contract expiring one season later.
Looking Gabriel Jesus appearance with Arsenal in premier league this season just playing 10 games and not fully as regular player, make him as back up position for Gyokeres I don't think good ideas because Gabriel Jesus more spending with injury but Milan management have heavy regulation about medical check up.

Just read that Madrid wants a young midfielder from AZ Alkmaar. He is Kees Smit, a 20-year-old Dutch footballer. Initially, his price was around €35 million. But according to Fabrizio Romano, Madrid won't get him for that price; the likely price will be €50 million. For a 20-year-old, his statistics are quite good. He also has experience playing in Europe.

Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/real-madrid-midfield-target-cost-073000918.html

Kees smit will be a good signing for Real Madrid but I think €50 million is too much for the guy, the guy is still young and he need to develop in any league he go because i once watched the guy in Europa conference and I can tell you that he is still learning, he is the type of midfielder that Real Madrid need but 50 is too much for him, AZ Alkmaar only wants to use the guy to get a lot of money or they want to use the opportunity of many clubs that is showing interest in him to make money.

Kees Smit is good and gradually he will become one of the best midfielders in the world, Real Madrid is capable of signing the player but they need to sell some players so that they can sign players and have a good season next because this season has already shown that they are not winning any trophy.

On several occasions, we've been told by past experienced and successful managers that's managed Tottenham Hotspur that club's major problems aren't about the manager but the club's management. Thomas Frank can't be doing exceptionally well in the UEFA Champions League and deliberately want to continue underperforming in the English Premier League. At the moment, I don't the club even have a big game player and that's been one of the major issues. I don't expect them to sack Frank immediately because I still don't think they'll get a replacement that'll turn things around immediately

[arallmuus]

Arne Slot was a lucky manager in his first season, but then all his luck ran out. He wasn't a manager who could consistently keep Liverpool at the top of their game.

He was pretty good actually apart from being just lucky. Every new transfer doesnt seems to be working out perfectly as he wanted them to be so yeah everything felt apart but he still had a decent early season though

He still has one more year on his contract now. I wonder what Arteta is thinking about these rumours. Or at least about keeping or selling him soon...

He can still be a good use in the rotation if Gyökeres continues to score like this. He is at least bringing some competition in the area. His contribution in some games are also valuable for the team.

Chill, Arsenal could always sell any player and sign another player to replace them. They are gonna win the league and obviously there will be tons of top name that wants to join them. Its no longer the same Arsenal like 5 years ago, they could literally sign anyone they want. Liverpool won the league and spend tons to sign new players so I doubt that Arsenal not gonna do the same thing

In fact, Im totally curious who they are going to get next

Just because there are so many jobless managers of former clubs, doesn't mean that they should be handed a contract to come and manage a team. Crystal palace is probably just making the same mistake that notthingham forest made last season after letting Nuno Espirito Santo leave the club. Getting a manager that easily hits the ground running, especially in the premier league, is not an easy task. Forest found one at some point, but they sacked him. And now, Crystal palace also found one, but they're not even trying to please him. How can you sell some of your best players, and also fail to replace them at that instance?. Very stupid if you ask me.

What are the chances that Xabi, Xavi, or South Gate, would find the same lucky momentum, when they eventually become the manager of the Crystal palace?. Truth is, some risk are not just worth taking.

But if Spurs don't act soon, it will only worsen their position in the Premier League table, it's not impossible that they could be relegated from the Premier League, given their current standings are already very close to that zone. Indeed firing a manager in the middle of a season that's about to end would be difficult, but the gamble must be taken, if you believe the root of the problem is club management, we'll soon find out if Frank is fired and a new manager arrives, whether at the end of the season or now. We'll see how Spurs perform, if there's no change, then it's clear, as you said, that there's a problem within the club management.

The thing is I think Oliver Glasner actually had his mind made up long time ago and couldn’t be convinced because let’s be honest and real here the players he actually wanted the club to keep were just not going to be keepable because the players themselves had actually made up their minds to leave the club and this is the reason why Crystal palace actually were selling them because if they do not sell them they would have gone for free as most of them were actually ready to see off their contracts and then leave for free which will be actually bad business from Crystal Palace end.

I think Oliver Glasner was too hasty in his decision of leaving even though i actually respect him for the boldness in challenging the club because it was simply logical that Crystal palace would have actually had replacements in place for the players departing but most of all this mid club sides usually do not like to invest this kind of money back into the team again which is why after a wonderful season the next season they suffer

Thomas Frank is still not sacked by Tottenham despite a horrible season! They aren't competing in the Europa League either which could have been a second chance to qualify for the Champions League.

They are 14th in the Premier League now. They haven't won a single game for 7 weeks... What are they waiting for? I would have already sacked him if I were them.

This decision was taken because perhaps management still noticed that they could still take focus on the Leaegu Chapions even though their hopes of becoming champions were very small in terms of chance but management made it a betting arena but when they failed and performance in the EPL did not improve then it was certain he would be deported quickly.

It seems that focusing on the Champions League from the start is risky and Frank dares to take this risk even though he may find it difficult to stay as manager until the end of the season.
Currently they are in good shape in the Champions League but it is paid dearly with a very chaotic performance in the EPL because of the coach's inability to manage performance well and sooner or later I think he will also leave if there is no surprise he gives in the rest of the season.

It is strange that they didn't sack him yet. They finished 24/25 with 38 points and were far out of the danger zone, but only because the teams below them were so much weaker that 38 points saved them easily. But this time it doesn't look very well for them and there is no positive trend or good times to be anticipated. I don't know if it is mercy or if the upper management at Tottenham doesn't only blame the coach, but is aware that mistakes have been made in regards to signing new players.

On the one hand I like it when coaches don't get sacked after two months because they usually need their time to fix things of course, but on the other hand this is not looking great for Tottenham at all and they are already in a bad place where there is nothing to play for in the EPL.

Maybe they will part ways with him at the end of the season. That way they will be able to get an ideal coach. Sometimes, making a decision such as sacking a coach could turn into a complete disaster for the team in the long run and yes, I also prefer when a coach is given ample time to get things together. Having instant positive results when you just got into the club a few months back is no easy thing to achieve.

[Jostern]

The obvious truth is that every Liverpool supporters are disappointed in Arne Slot, he is no longer the man for the job, Manchester City have never done a double against Liverpool in 89 years and now several records that we have at Anfield have been broken and destroyed by Arne Slot, Arne Slot is a disaster and a waste of time he is just a terrible manager and a coach, I don’t really understand what is happening with this man, you spend so much money and there is nothing to show for it instead they keep loosing games for fun, I’m so disappointed with Liverpool performance this season and they will not qualify for the Champions League next season it’s been a disaster of a season for Liverpool Football Club.

Arne Slot was a lucky manager in his first season, but then all his luck ran out. He wasn't a manager who could consistently keep Liverpool at the top of their game. But now, if Slot's scenario were to change, who would be the strongest candidate to manage a club as big as Liverpool? Rumors of Xabi Alonso are fading, and Liverpool need to prepare a number of options.

I think Arne Slot took everyone by surprise with his performance in the first season and winning the Premier League title, I believe if Jurgen Klopp was in the team he will still win a Premier League title that same season because most of the teams were not there, but we never knew how good Arne Slot would be not until this season, after buying players and spending a huge amount of money in the transfer window, and right now there is absolutely nothing to show for it because the performances this season have been poor and terrible.

Talking about a new coach, well there is Xavi Alonso in the market who is without contract, and he is heavily linked with Liverpool, and I think if Arne Slot doesn’t qualify Liverpool for the Champions League then he will eventually be sacked by Liverpool, qualifying for the Champions League that would be something that can keep him in the job and he has to do something soon because there is no time, everything is absolutely a shambles right now for Liverpool, qualifying for the Champions League is the bare minimum Liverpool can accept.
