⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

No sane Manchester United fan would want to see these lazy bums return back to Manchester United. They're better away than with the club, we need more players who can perform and kill for the club. I'm more than excited they will earn such from the sale of these two players. I really do not have much to add to it but, we're grateful for everything they've given Manchester United, both the good and bad moments. Hopefully they make history with their new clubs respectively.

€77 million is a huge sum of money, and it seems unlikely that Manchester United will get that amount from the sales of Hojlund and Rashford. Both Napoli and Barcelona are looking for a low price for both players. Barcelona, ​​in particular, is only willing to pay €20 million for Rashford. Manchester United must be realistic about their prices for Hojlund and Rashford if they truly want to sell them, as I'm sure it will be difficult for Manchester United to raise that much money.

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.

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.

Allegri is a quality and disciplined Italian coach. If he takes over Real Madrid, he could be very beneficial to the club. He needs to have a strong influence on the players and gain their trust. It's better for young players to work with such experienced coaches. I think the team tried harder during Ancelotti's time. However, both now and under Xabi, the team doesn't seem to be trying as hard as it did under Ancelotti.

Bro, you dislike these players this much? Have you taken a glance look at their performance in their new perspective clubs? They've been making Hojlund and Rashford have produce quite an excellent performance for the clubs they're playing for. Watch Hojlund at Napoli, he's banging goals for the club and also becoming a crucial frontline for the club since his arrival from Manchester United.

While for Marcus Rashford, Barcelona are pulling every corner to make the Englishman a permanent signing for the club. He's been spectacular and a very Forwarded player that want absolutely nothing but big winning for the club. He developed and grown already interms of his performance.

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 completely agree that Manchester United is showing signs of improvement and that finishing in the top four seems possible if they maintain consistency. But I still think it's too early to draw definitive conclusions about next season.

The summer will truly be decisive. Investing between 100 and 200 million could greatly strengthen the squad, but as you said, it all depends on making the right choices in the transfer market. It's not just about spending a lot, it's about signing players who fit the system and the needs of the team, don't you think?

If they get the signings right and maintain their current progress, then United can truly compete at the top again.

I wouldn't say lazy for Ramus Hojlund maybe unfortunate or EPL wasn't for him but Rashford was an on and off hero for the team. It's better they don't return and continue yo find their feet on their new teams respectively, getting to an higher height people expected especially for Rashford.  A fair cash out on them will be helpful for the team to recruit fresh mind and talents.

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.

It is reasonable for Anderson to want to leave Nottingham because he knows  that several major teams are currently interested to sign him, and that is clearly a great opportunity for  his career. Nottingham Forest may not be in a position to restrain Anderson any longer, so they are  looking to make more money on him and put a high price tag on him.

It's not just Man City and Liverpool who are interested in   this player, as far as I know, Man United is also very keen on him, but it seems rather difficult for Man United to actually sign him, as Anderson has his heart set on joining  Man City. But now the question is, will  Man City be willing to pay a high price?

You may not be able to replace players like Kroos and Modric with young players like Camavinga and Guler, but at the same time if you do not make your own, where are you going to get these good players. Modric wasn't 35 years old when he arrived, he was a young player who showed himself for a while and then came here and became who he is here.

So they are just giving some time for the players they have to do better, and that is going to work out in the end. The problem Real Madrid had was the fact that they changed players all the time, they didn't had a set eleven that they prefer, and if you just keep changing players and formations and tactics all the time, you are going to of course get inconsistent results everywhere.

[asriloni]

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?

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.

Honestly, a few seasons without trophy sound very painful for a club that has been so popular by continuously won trophy almost in any season. However, i do agree with your points about they sign too many young players who could not give immediate effect to the squad. The lost of Modrid and Kross did very huge impact to the squad performance.

Beside that they have also experienced how their divas didn't even put respect to the young coach to handle them. So this sounds good enough to bring someone who has history in his managerial career to ensure their divas won't be so cocky like they're above the club.

Am not a Manchester United fan, but i don't think these two players are that bad the way you are making it looks like. It's no longer news that both players impressed in the respective clubs they were sent on loan to, so that is enough reason to believe that the problem is likely not with the players, but with the system of Manchester United, since most players that has left Manchester United have done very well more than when they were at the club.

On the €80 requirement to acquire both players, it's not that huge in my own opinion because they are good players, just that Barcelona in particular will want to do everything in their power to drive the value down, by acting like they are not that too interested in Marcos rashford, but will Manchester United give into their demands and lower the fee?
That's what am not certain of, but am confident in Marcos rashford staying put at Barcelona on a permanent basis.

Yeah actually there are 2 options for example bringing in experienced players who are capable of taking on the same role or give opportunities to talented young players however, each option has an impact, such as bringing in experienced players, which of course requires a high budget and salaries while if they give opportunities to young players it requires process and time. I agree with you about Real Madrid not having a fixed starting lineup in some lines but over time this method will be effective, generally coaches know to take the right steps.

I agree with you about Real Madrid not having a fixed starting lineup in some lines but over time this method will be effective, generally coaches know to take the right steps.

For example, Liverpool player Szoboszlai would be a great player for Real Madrid and would complete the midfield with Valverde and Camavinga.
Real Madrid need to get Camavinga back to form, as he hasn't played as well this year as he did last year, and with Valverde and Szoboszlai alongside him it would be a new galacticos midfield.

If Barcelona wants to bring down the fee, that's on Manchester United to decide and conclude. If they don't want to sign him at the price Manchester United wants, there's nothing that can be done than Rashford to come back ti Old Trafford and join the squad. We have a new coach and he knows how he will use Rashford to bring out the potential in him.

He's one of the major midfield target of Manchester United and I'm sure they won't back out easily just because he's linked with Manchester City, although I've seen news that he's agreed personal terms with Manchester City but Nottingham Forest haven't set their prive yet and would wait till the league is over before they decide. If Manchester United secure the Champions League next season then the battle for Anderson would get tougher.

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

I would also prefer Antonio Conte because Antonio Conte is a winner and a coach that loves attacking football which perfectly suits Real Madrid pattern of play. But one thing that Real Madrid hierarchy will be avoiding to contact Conte is because of his attitude of criticising the management of any club that employ him. And Conte is also a manager that doesn't romance players. Given the attitudes of some Real Madrid top players, Conte won't tolerate that and there will be problem in the squad.

The summer will truly be decisive. Investing between 100 and 200 million could greatly strengthen the squad, but as you said, it all depends on making the right choices in the transfer market. It's not just about spending a lot, it's about signing players who fit the system and the needs of the team, don't you think?

You're right. A team must recruit players who fit the coach's system and the team's needs. It's pointless to buy expensive players who don't fit the coach's tactics. We've seen countless examples of teams spending large sums of money on players only to see those players fail to perform at their best and even suffer more injuries than playing time.

[jostorres]

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.

Xabi was a good coach too, while he doesn't have as much experience as Allegri, he wasn't a bad coach. It's not about being a good coach or a bad coach, it's about fitting a teams culture or not.

Ancelotti fit Real Madrid great, he played a football of "go out there and show them why you are the best" and that worked out great for Real Madrid, whereas Allegri (and also Xabi did that) would play "we need to work hard to win" and these are different styles. Allegri wouldn't fit Real Madrid, no matter how great of a coach he is.

Allegri wouldn't fit Real Madrid, no matter how great of a coach he is.

Ancelotti was able to work better with Real because he gave the players more freedom, and the overall atmosphere in the team was more friendly. Alonso, on the other hand, demanded more discipline and maintained more formal relationships with the players. Obviously this kind of approach doesn’t work very well at Real. That’s why when Arbeloa came in, things began to change, but for some reason Real still occasionally have bad matches.

If Manchester United secure the Champions League next season then the battle for Anderson would get tougher.

I'm not sure Man United can stand up to Man City in the  race for Anderson, because Anderson himself seems very interested in joining Man City, but that doesn't mean Man United has no chance at all, because  money can change a person's mind (as Man United may offer Anderson a higher salary offer than Man City's). £90 million is not a small amount, and if Nottingham  insists on that price, Man United will likely shift their focus elsewhere. For almost the same price, Man United  could possibly snap up Tonali, and  I think that could be the main priority because I believe Tonali is still slightly better than Anderson.

Allegri is an experienced coach and would definitely handle the situation properly and bring back that winning mentality in the players.

I agree with you about the capacity of a coach to control the situation in the dressing room. It requires the ability to understand while still giving players the options to play better. In a squad full of egotistical players, it will be quite difficult for a new coach without a previous career to neutralize the situation. The inconsistency of vision and player egos only causes problems on the pitch. We'll see if Allegri can overcome that. I'm not 100% sure, but there's no harm in trying to prove to the fans what's really at the root of the problem.
