⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ThemePen]

$77 millions is a big amount of money Manchester united especially now that they are planning to introduce more force in there midfield due to the exist of casimero in the next transfer window.  On the issue of Rashfolds transfer,  i think that would be one of the best decisions for the young talent as know one can predict if he can still be included in Michael carricks plans next season especially now he is already making plans for the teams reinforcement in the next transfer window. Rashsfold is indeed a very good  player that just ran out of luck but will soon get back now he has identified his weakness at Barcelona. It will indeed be a very good market for Barcelona now they  consistency in most of the games

Manchester United is also going through new time with Michael Carrick taking team to 3rd place in premier league and even being seen among top choices to be given full time manager job. My personal view is that Carrick is on right path of changing focus on so-called star fame with focus on game rules and changing old or difficult players can be seen as next needed step to help club to be able to fight for big cups once again.

[SquallLeonhart]

Manchester United will do fine, they are going to finish third place, or at worst case fourth place this season and will be at UCL next season unless they suddenly start to lose all their games, they are looking fine so far.

The real trouble begins at the summer, because Carrick has shown proof that he should stay at the head of the team next season as well. He has not made any transfers of his own, and this summer they are going to spend like typical where it will be somewhere between 100 to 200 million, maybe a bit more. That is going to be the difference maker, because if they spend that much then they are going to end up with a great team or a terrible team depending on how good players they are going to get.

I understand that a coach like Allegri of course doesn't really warm up the fans but Real Madrid are in a very complicated moment because the team is not well built. They need a pragmatic manager, right now Real Madrid fans can't thing about joga bonito while the players are not good enough. I don't want to say the team completely needs to be rebuilt but many of their last signings were just wrong, they chose to bet to much on young players but you can't replace players like Casemiro, Kroos and Modric with Camavinga and Arda Guler, you also need someone who is ready now, not in 3-4 years. Well, actually you can, but you can't pretend and/or expect to win immediately at that point, you must understand that you'll probably have some seasons with no titles at all at that point.
Allegri is very good when it comes to rebuild teams and he usually works with whatever players he has available, he doesn't really make any requests. Real Madrid already hired Mourinho in the past, Allegri is the same type of manager at the end, it wouldn't be anything new.

There is no way to call Allegri a bad coach. He is quite experienced. But I agree with you that Real Madrid's squad needs big changes.

Madrid's squad is quite  strong. But there is no way to call it a perfect squad. There are many  talented players in the squad. But the  bonding between the players is weak. Real madrid has not yet found a worthy replacement for modrich and kroos. But madrid's midfielders are quite talented. If they are used  correctly , they have the ability to do well.

The bonding between the  midfielders and the forwards needs to be strengthened. More importantly, the relationship between Vini and Mbappe, two of the most important players in the squad, is not good. If the  relationship between these two players is not good, madrid's attack will not be able to do well consistently.

Allegri is being linked to the Real Madrid's move next season. The report says Madrid seems frustrated with the young coach, and they're looking for someone who experienced enough to handle the club. However, i don't think Allegri is the right man for the job.

He's a defensive coach. It makes no sense to sign him when Madrid has a weak defense. If i were to choose, i'd prefer to add Conte as a candidate instead of him.

You know he's always forcing his team to play safe ball. So i don't think that kind of football can fit Mbappe and friends well. Meanwhile, Conte is an opposite to the him. So this is why i think Conte can fit them better.

If you can name a coach to coach Madrid, who will you choost?

one thing i know is that this is not 2015, employing allegri is the fastest route to faluire, what you will get: boring football with underwhelming results, angry players playing out of position useless  signings that do not benefit the club. angry fans etc.

Everything is still uncertain   because Michael Carrick may not remain in charge of Man United next season. But regardless of the circumstances, any income Man United gets from selling Rashford and Hojlund  will still be a very significant addition, because whoever the coach is who comes to Man United next season will most  likely have their own list (and that could mean spending a lot of money).

To be honest, I am curious about what kind of coach Man United's management  wants. I think Carrick has performed well so far, but for some reason, I feel that he will still not be  appointed permanently.  I hope I'm wrong, because I personally hope that Carrick can stay with Man United for a long time.

[JeffBrad12]

MU is likely getting fresh money at summer. They seem getting closer to seal the deal from Barcelona and Napoli for Rashford and Hojlund. So i think it's gonna be solid transfer for both of players. Hojlund fit to the Serie a well, while Rashford at La Liga.
It's gonna be the right thing to let them leave while they are performing well there. Recalling them back will make no use to them.

So they can recoup €77m from selling those players, whicah can be used to reinvest into the potential talents. They're also need someone to replace Case. They can sign a quality midfielder with that huge chunk amount of money.

Yeah, that huge amount is gonna be enough in order to help them to get rid off their midfield issue once Casemiro leaves in summer. They can sign Wharton/Anderson to solve it. They will also reduce their wage cap a lot by losing Rashford and Hojlund. So this is obviously a win win solution.
They also have productive forwards. It's stupid if they disrupt the good vibes showed by their current forwards by bring those two players back caused it won't work.

Let's hope they will be sealing the deal with Barcelona and Napoli. Once they do it, they will have space to bring quality player to come in.

I think these deals will occur without much problems. Even broke Barcelona will find a way to sign Rashford for good with them. Same for Napoli in my opinion.
The money that will be collected from them is not that important from what I noticed but it could be enough to consolidate the midfield.
Elliot Anderson and Yan Diomande are in the list of Manchester United to pick list but these players are eyed also by Liverpool, Manchester City and other teams so Manchester United will have to invest and negotiate good to bring them.

What Real Madrid need is players with experience in the Midfield their team is gradually becoming weak and they need to act fast in strengthening it then employ a coach that would make them tougher again, Allegri is not a bad idea cause he's experienced and would command respect in the dressing room.

 Another thing Perez needs to look into is the injury crisis that's affecting the team, it's one of the major problems that's set them backwards this season. Well asides Allegri there would the other options they'll consider by end of this season although Allegri is one of the best option.

[bitgolden]

There have been many reports about Real Madrid's approach to Massimiliano Allegri. And it is very likely that Allegri will replace Arbeloa at the end of the season considering Real Madrid's performance which is still not very convincing. Allegri is also rumored to be the main candidate for the Real Madrid coach position. But Real Madrid's plan to bring in Allegri could be canceled if Arbeloa can deliver a good performance for Real Madrid until the end of the season. Allegri may take an opportunity with another team or even stay at AC Milan. Allegri has also stated that his focus is on securing the best position for AC Milan until the end of the season. It is possible that he still has positive synergy with AC Milan to be entrusted with the next season if AC Milan still feels it can rely on Allegri. On the other hand Real Madrid has actually other candidates. And it is possible that Real Madrid is considering changing their plans to bring in another coach. I personally would like to see Jurgen Klopp coach Real Madrid. And he has been rumored to be a candidate that Real Madrid will choose.

I really really hope for Real Madrid's sake that they are not seriously considering that. Allegri is a coach that tires the hell out of their players by working them a lot, even with three competitions at the same time, he puts out hard work on training to make sure players are at their best but that causes a lot of injuries as well.

Maybe they will look like they are unstoppable and amazing for six months or so, and then cracks will start to show. Players will be injured and complaining before the year ends.

I think Michael Carrick is really doing well at Manchester United right now and i expect the team to qualify for the Champions league next season. I think it will be good for the board to retain him and support him in the summer. I have some trust on him, because i believe he understands Manchester United philosophy and i also think the players are ready to play for him, so the board should back him and hopefully qe can see a better Manchester United next season.

[X-ray]

I never expected this kind of rumor to come. Elliot Anderson is rumoring saying he's keen to join in City. If it's true, i think City shall pick him up. I have feeling City may lose Bernardo or Rodri this summer. So he's gonna be a solid transfer for sure.

I aware Forest rated him as important player, but since he's not keen anymore to stay there. I guess Forest can do nothing if he request his club to leave. The only problem is his value. He's being valued 90m. It sounds too pricey for a player at his calibre. However, it can be cheaper when Forest relegated, and it's very possible to meet such condition. It seems City takes everyone to their squad soon.

Manchester United isn't doing badly, and the squad quality is quite good. I think they've been more successful than they were at the beginning of the season. Of course, unless they make a few transfers, their goal of winning the league title will never be achieved. But looking at the time between the beginning of the season and now, I'm happy with the team's overall situation.
Carrick is achieving amazing things for this team. I'm sure he'll get the necessary support from the club management. As long as they don't have financial problems, he can lead the team to the championship

Would Napoli be able to splash 44m Euros on Hojlund? This might be possible if they offload some players or win the Serie A. He has had a fantastic season with Napoli but the price seems high in my view. We have not had any news from Barcelona concerning their interest in making the Rashford deal permanent. The problem with the signing of the English player is his high salary.

The way it it is it seems they won't find it difficult to finish third place if they continue with the performance they have been having but if they don't I think it might be a problem because other teams are not far behind. They are just a few points ahead of Aston Villa and Chelsea and even Liverpool are not far away. Well with Carrick performance so far he has proven himself worthy of the job and if he should make champions league next season then there is no reason not to make him the permanent coach.

They spent money for Ten Hag and Amorim and they failed so signing players does not guarantee anything but then out of them all Carrick is the most ambitious so he will probably do better with an improved squad. Nothing much can be said about Carrick until the next season begins. It takes a good coach to come in mid season and change things from bad to good.

Manchester United is also going through new time with Michael Carrick taking team to 3rd place in premier league and even being seen among top choices to be given full time manager job. My personal view is that Carrick is on right path of changing focus on so-called star fame with focus on game rules and changing old or difficult players can be seen as next needed step to help club to be able to fight for big cups once again.

So are you of the opinion that both players should be sold and new talent brought into the squad or still give them a chance to prove there worth in Manchester united team the same way they gave malacia that gave a disastrous result in there last game. I  am not saying they are not good enough to be called back to the squad but I think the best option is to allow them choose what they want either they stay or leave depending on what they think is good for them.
Seeing Michael Carrick as a potential permanent coach for Manchester United would be the best option for the team as he the only manager that have been able to bring transformation into the teams squad for the past years which I know if chance is given to him to build his team as expected they will be one of the best team in England in the hands of Michael Carrick.

The problem is that there aren't many coaches available on the transfer market with better qualities, and the plan to appoint Allegri is because Perez wants to find an Italian coach, as he did in the past when appointing Ancelotti. Okay, I'm curious besides Allegri, are there any other coaching options interested in managing Madrid in a situation like this?

Okay, I'm curious besides Allegri, are there any other coaching options interested in managing Madrid in a situation like this?

If we calculate the odds, is it possible for Allegri to live up to the expectations of his previous successor, Ancelotti? Remember, managing a team like Real Madrid is no easy task, especially if a coach can't manage players with such inflated egos. Compared to Allegri, I'd rather have a coach like Jurgen Klopp as he's proven he can handle the much more competitive conditions in the Premier League compared to Allegri's in the Italian League.

Becoming a Real Madrid coach might not be as easy as managing any other team as there are many challenges to overcome and expectations are too high. Several other names might be worth considering compared to Allegri and this isn't to belittle his abilities, but being a Real Madrid coach is difficult, so it needs a much more competent trainer figure.

[Frankolala]

I hope this isn't true... I wouldn't like to see Allegri managing Real Madrid. His ways of winning are just very boring. He is worse than Ancelotti about that so I would rather see Ancelotti back. 

This is just a rumour of course. Real Madrid should be able to find a manager who thinks of offense more than defense. I don't mean they will keep their defense line weak. But they have a squad that should play offensively most of the time.

Real Madrid thought that the young coaches can do it better than the old experience ones but it's clear to them now that an experience coach is the key to success in a big club like Real Madrid. Of course, Ancelotti is far better than Allegri when it comes to Real Madrid football pattern and the worst thing Real Madrid did to themselves was to fire Ancelotti just like that.

[Sarah Azhari]

If you can name a coach to coach Madrid, who will you choost?

I prefer Jürgen Klopp to coach Real Madrid because he's a great coach, and his philosophy is a perfect fit for Real Madrid. We've seen how perfectly Jürgen Klopp's playing style is implemented at Liverpool. I'm sure if Jürgen Klopp were to coach Real Madrid, players like Mbappé would absolutely love him, as Klopp implements an attacking style of play and is renowned for his gegenpressing tactics.

[GiftedMAN]

Of course, Ancelotti is far better than Allegri when it comes to Real Madrid football pattern and the worst thing Real Madrid did to themselves was to fire Ancelotti just like that.

The problem is knowing how to handle pressure and control the dressing room which is what most of these new coaches lack especially when they handle clubs with lots of high profiled players like Real Madrid, that's more reason why Xabi Alonso succeeded at Bayer Leverkusen but found it tough to cope at Real Madrid. Allegri is an experienced coach and would definitely handle the situation properly and bring back that winning mentality in the players.
