⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[katanic97]

Valverde and Jude is not leaving that is for sure, so maybe they are looking to offload Tchouameni, Arda and Camavinga, if they do lose those three, then maybe they can get some players.

Enzo Fernandes would undoubtedly be a key player for a Madrid that needs mobility, and the work he does is also a fact that all of us Madridistas like him. I would let a Mantastono go and let an Enzo come in because of all the ability he has to turn things around in a moment. This is not mere coincidence; it can be done, and I believe Florentino can make it possible.

I don't know if Enzo Fernandes will be brought into the team, but I think they want Rodri. Rodri might be a more logical transfer for Madrid's midfield than Enzo. The real problem isn't these three players, it's the lack of Kroos to feed them the ball. Rodri could fill that gap.

Rodri might actually be a better fit for Real Madrid than Enzo, mainly because he’s more experienced. He adapts really easily to different styles of play, so i think he’d be a very solid signing.Honestly, it feels more like they’re missing Kroos and Modric those two were unstoppable

To also add how the players playing around him are selfish asf. And to be much more direct, I'm talking about Bukayo Saka who had refused to share the ball whenever Gyökeres makes the necessary runs fir a through pass or cross. If Arteta is watching these games closely, he'll see this and correct it. He was always in the box with Sweden as I saw two of the international games they played as they've successfully qualified for the FIFA world cup competition.

I don't believe the Arsenal players, or Saka to be precise, are being selfish. Saka is not as intelligent as people think. It's one thing to know how to play football, but it's another thing to be intelligent and do the right thing at the right time. When a player is intelligent, his decision-making would be top-notch. I don't see Saka as that player. His decision making is questionable sometimes.

Another i've noticed with Arsenal is that they are playing that way becasue the coach has made them pragmatic so even when there is a person making a run, they would prefer to keep th ball than take the risk of making a difficult pass and then lose the ball. I noticed this with Odegaard too.

Enzo Fernandez is going to Real Madrid? I thought it's a rumour because Chelsea is not stable at the moment and with the look of things, The Argentine have come out to talk how he wish to play for Madrid one day and if they come for him, he wouldn't resist and will accept to play for the club. Real Madrid have been the club that have been the unbeaten in Europe when it comes to major trophies. Absolutely the dream club of every potential players.

I want to see the link to the rumour that linked Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid. If I am to say, there are alot of better options for Real Madrid to explore and I believe Madrid can get any player they want. Almost every player will like to play for Real Madrid.

Bruno Fernandes is a good option for Real Madrid but I don't think Bruno will leave now that Manchester United is finding their form and Bruno is writing his name in the legendary book.

But then, then news of Enzo to Madrid should be disregarded. It can't be true

Rodri?
You expect Real Madrid to sign Rodri? A player who is now off his prime and is injury-prone? Come on, bro.  
Among the better options, Rodri definitely can't be one of them. Not a good choice, but I would rather prefer Real Madrid sign Casemiro again than Rodri, to be honest.

This is right, generally Arsenal players behave this way towards each other obviously there’s team work but, the process of passing the a ball might be consider a waste instead every player desire to score a goal. Passing the ball more often still can’t determine a goal so we all don’t know what’s best for the club except the players, Odegaard is definitely guilty in this aspect while Saka always refuse to pass the ball to Gyokeres knowing fully well he’s the closest to the opponent’s goal line.

After I read this on social media I watched carefully and then observed same thing and comparing this with Martinelli there’s a huge difference, Martinelli always create chance for other players although Saka sometimes don’t know when to pass. The fact Eze is found in same circle but manage to score at every opportunity is quite impressing, he always gets it right.

Since recovery from injury, Rodri is off his prime right now and I don't know why many top media linked him will sign by Real Madrid at the end of this season. Looking how many top and talented of Real Madrid midfielder I don't think best recruitment for signing Rodri has loss his prime right now although his age not too old.

To be honest, Madrid not really require for signing new midfielder player and better to sign defender avoid if any player injury, for midfielder Madrid right now has many option as holding or attacking midfielder and most of them at top prime from Camavinga, Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Thiago Pitarch, Tchouaméni and Dani Ceballos as back up player.

Even if Real Madrid were to consider signing him it would be for his experience and he won't be the only player they'll sign for that position cause they'll still need someone at his prime so that position would be more competitive. But to be realistic Rodri is not that bad he might not be in this best form but could go to Madrid and do better.

 Madrid would never choose Casemiro over Rodri, if Casemiro was that important they would've recalled him after his first season with Manchester United or wouldn't even sell him, Madrid barely go back for players they've moved on from especially when he's older, they'll choose Rodri over Casemiro.

I have my doubts about the current rumors especially since Madrid have also added to their ammunition by activating the buy back clause for Nico Paz now which of course will make them a little more comfortable in the midfield especially since we know that Nico Paz can be flexible as a playmaker and organizer of the ball flow in the midfield.
 
This would actually shut down the Enzo rumors for me because looking at the role on the pitch Nico Paz is also capable of operating in the same position as Enzo.
 
For Bruno it's even a strange thing for Madrid if they are thinking of signing Bruno. He's a good player of course but age doesn't lie and Madrid won't be looking for players over the age of 30 in this day and age.

I pretty much agree with you, because Arsenal is still performing well without him. Even as captain, he doesn’t seem like a good fit Saka lacks leadership on the field, his contributions are mediocre, and there’s nothing special about him. Arteta should consider handing the captain’s armband to David Raya, because aside from being a goalkeeper, he’s also well-suited to be the team’s leader.

Rodri is not better than any Real Madrid midfielders this season, even Dani Ceballos that is not having enough time to play in the team is better than Rodri this season, Real Madrid need a midfield that is going to help the team to create chances for the attackers and Rodri is not the same player we use to know, since he got injured after winning undeserved Ballon Dior he has not been able to play well again and we can see that many sources posted that since he returned back from the injury and he started game for Manchester City the team always find it difficult to win games.

I understand that Real Madrid needs a midfield and they also want to have more Spanish players in the squad but signing Rodri is not a good option, I prefer Enzo Fernandez than him because Enzo is more creative than him, according the Fabrizo, Manchester City have offer Rodri and new contract and Real Madrid are also interested and it is up to Rodri to decide and if he decide not to sign new contract Manchester City is going to sell him or he will wait and leave for free in 2027.

Yes, very often Saka doesn’t know who to pass the ball to; he have an absolute speed and shake off his marker, but then he doesn't know what to do with the ball and passes it back. They should train him more on his crosses because Gyokeres would benefit from it. I’m not a big fan of Gabriel Jesus, he’s very technically gifted but often fails to finish and lacks consistency, I prefer Gyokeres

[Alex077]

Hürzeler did great for St.Pauli, much better than expected and Brighton got him for that reason which makes sense. But he hasn't been awesome at Brighton, he is okay, but not that great, so Leverkusen move doesn't make sense to me, I think he needs like another season. But considering Kompany's last job was relegation from premier league, I am not sure if teams are even looking for results when hiring someone.

Normally you would pick someone who did great, and you hire them, nowadays they are hiring people who are doing badly and somehow it works so I do not even know what they are looking that works this well. I am sure that if Hürzeler goes to Leverkusen, he is going to be fine, at least better than what they are doing right now.

Linking Hurzeler's name with Leverkusen is getting a bit too hasty.
What he is doing in St Pauli is really commendable. But for Brighton this season as you say rough but nothing extraordinary. It would be wiser for him to spend another full season at Brighton to inject his high pressing style into the squad

But the trend you mentioned about the Kompany is actually quite interesting. Big club are now looking more at the coach's tactical ideas and potential than the result. With Leverkusen losing a perfect coach like Xabi Alonso they may find someone in Hurzela who can continue that possession based and high intensity style
I agree with you though that he need to spend some more time in Brighton before that

Too much has changed with them going forward,  it was obvious with Declan Rice,  they prefer passing the ball sideways than a through pass for the hit man.
I'm thinking of a possible return to the beautiful football they played when they failed to win the league title. I see that returning of they eventually happen to be Champions of the Premier League Competition.
I'm keen to see what Pep Guardiola does by the end of the season and Bernardo Silva?! I want him to he a Barcelona player.

I am actually not good in judging players because when I do, I will be asking for numbers which I believe is the most reliable way to know how effective and efficient a player has been for a team. The numbers am talking about is number of goals scored and numbers of assist given, and it's because of the poor numbers of saka, that made me not to rate him that high, because it makes no sense that an elite winger can't deliver the least 15 goals a season.
He has been a first team player and a regular starter for arsenal for the past five years, but no season he has scored more than 15 goals, so that is why I will never rate him too high because his numbers are just too poor if you are making comparison with other top wingers.

We'll never know why Arteta decided to give Saka the captain's armband, considering his abilities on the pitch are sometimes quite egotistical and lack leadership skills. Compared to Saka, I'd prefer David Raya, Declan Rice, or Gabriel to be given the captain's armband, as these three players are also quite senior within the team, even though their contributions are sometimes not much better than Saka's. David Raya might be more capable of leading because he has the ability to do so and Arteta needs to consider this.

Enzo Fernandez and Rodri are both good players. The only difference is that Rodri is playing under a good manager that has helped shaped his career, unlike Enzo Fernandez who has been playing under amateur coaches and team mates. Put Enzo Fernandez in a proper team that has a world class manager and world class players and see him unleash what he has got. Enzo Fernandez is a good player, he has got all the experience he need to succeed as a player.

If Real Madrid decides to get either him or Rodri, it will be a good buy for them. None is a bad player. If Rodri was in Chelsea nobody will be singing his praises like it is right now. For Real Madrid to identify Enzo Fernandez even when playing for this finished Chelsea team shows how talented he is.

Saka is not even confident as before which makes him less fit to wear the captain armband, David Raya is the best option cause he's composed and know how to calm the pressure of them team, he'll be a good leader and his teammates would respect him more cause asides being the captain his performance is always peak. Maybe Arteta has his reasons for choosing Saka, we the spectators might not see what he see cause he's the manager of the team and knows best.

I think it’s not correct to evaluate a player this way, because you can only truly see his value in another team once he actually starts playing there. When he won the Ballon d’Or, there was a lot of criticism and frustration about why Rodri received it, since his contribution didn’t seem very visible. But when he got injured and was out for a long time, which coincided with the start of Manchester City’s crisis, it became clear how important he is to the midfield. I think when Modric and Kroos left Real Madrid, it also became noticeable for the team.

[Velvet78]

Italian national team has decided to make some changes after not being able to qualify for the World Cup 3 times in a row...

Mancini, Allegri and Conte. Among these names the strongest probabilities would be Mancini and Conte. I don't think Allegri would leave after only 1 year at Milan.

Mancini is managing a Qatar team now. Maybe he would manage them and Italy at the same time. Conte might consider a potential offer after not having a great season at Napoli.

Saka has not been performing very well this season that does not mean that he does not have the leadership qualities in him whenever he’s in a match. He usually tries to turn up so they can win the match so I think he deserve being the captain of the team yes, the goalkeeper is a very good goalkeeper and he’s doing very well and I also see him as someone who has a very good leadership quality just like you said the coach knows the best, we can only talk by what we see them do on the beach in the matches they play, but we don’t see them in the dressing room. We don’t see them in the training ground. They have personalities that I believe only the coach knows very well because he studies them.
