⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SFR10]

This is the rumor that i'm hoping it's gonna be real. Newcastle has never improved ever since they were signing Howe as their coach. So it sounds good to see they may be doing parways with Howe, and they may also sign Mourinho as his replacement.

The last time we saw how Mou treated badly at Spurs. It will be so good to have him back to the EPL again. I'm sure he can improve Newcastle when club gives Mou good budget to spend.

I don't agree with the part that you said Newcastle hasn't improved under Eddie Howe ^{[e.g., last season they were great and this season, they did well in the UCL (even with the number of injuries that they had)]}, but despite Mourinho usually picking teams that compete for trophies, I think Newcastle's Saudi owners might be an attractive prospect for him ^{[referring to the rebuilding process]}.

Is Klopp desiring to comeback?
No top teams currently uncertain about management that won't benefit being under the management of Klopp.

Toni Kroos might make a good coach bit can not really be certain and that uncertainty is something that shouldn't be used this time in picking a management.

In my opinion, if Real Madrid made him an offer, Klopp might well return; as for other clubs and opportunities, I don’t think so, though he’s never made a secret of wanting to manage in Spain. Kross is very intelligent and will do very well as a manager, but it would be better if he started with a second-tier team first, as Xabi Alonso did.

Not everything... I don't believe Arbeloa is a good tactician. I'm not saying he can't ever be but he isn't currently. There is no consistency with the team during his time.

I appreciated Real Madrid's fighting spirit last night of course. But it wasn't because of Arbeloa's mastermind. I believe Perez should sack him right away and look for reliable options.

No offence but who do you think is fit for the job if they sack him? And how long will this continue?

Xabi Alonso came but the story was the same. We clamoured for his sack and it was granted but did anything change? Absolutely nothing change.

And now we still believe Arbeloa getting sacked would make a difference? I'm not trying to defend him but all saying is that changing coach doesn't solve this issue and should be probably given a chance to make things work out.

Now it is official...

Bernardo Silva is leaving Manchester City by the end of the season. He was already giving the signals that there wouldn't be any contract extension. His performance has been mostly poor this season. 

Now Manchester City can just start looking for his replacement. There are so many talented wingers out there. But the thing I wonder is whether Guardiola will also leave this summer or not...

If Bernardo performance is as bad a you are saying it this season, Pep wouldn’t be using him in almost every matches this season, favoring him over some of the new signings. Bernardo is leaving because he has come of age where Manchester City don’t want to give him another contract because of his age. Bernardo will be 32 by August and with the intensity that’s required in playing for Manchester City he might not keep up next season. Manchester City have a policy of not keeping older players in the club. Once you are above 30 just know that your days in the club are numbered.

I appreciated Real Madrid's fighting spirit last night of course. But it wasn't because of Arbeloa's mastermind. I believe Perez should sack him right away and look for reliable options.

So, Real are starting to look for a replacement for Arbeloa. And now I’m already reading in the news that Perez is considering four candidates for the position of Real’s head coach. Among them are the expected Klopp, Zidane, Deschamps, and Pochettino. And from this list, I think Zidane can be ruled out right away, because he has long been preparing to take over the France national team after the World Cup.

As for Deschamps, I think his chances are much higher, since after the World Cup he will be without a job. As for Pochettino, I know that Perez has liked him since his time at Tottenham, but right now Pochettino is managing the US national team. He by the way could also leave after the World Cup, but here everything is a bit more complicated, and I’m not yet sure how good Pochettino could be for Real.

So I think Klopp remains the best option for Real.

I'd be more interested if Real Madrid brought in Klopp as their manager next season, as his abilities as a coach are unquestionable, as he is indeed one of the best in the world. Furthermore, Klopp is currently unemployed, making it easier for Perez to negotiate with him to become Real Madrid's manager next season.

Real Madrid must conduct a major evaluation for next season, having gone trophyless for three consecutive seasons. And I'm sure Perez will sack Arbeloa and bring in a more experienced coach who can bring major trophies to the Bernabeu public.

Arbeloa hasn't been a solution for Madrid at this time.. he hasn't been able to unite the players and has struggled to come up with an effective strategy, which has made Madrid's recent performances less than impressive. if this situation is allowed to persist for longer, it's possible that Madrid will slump further and be unable to perform better. so if the management's decision to let him go is the best choice right now, especially with rumors linking Klopp, Zidane, and Didier Deschamps to become Madrid's next coach, if that's the best decision, then Arbeloa can step down from his current position.

I've been thinking the same way. The problem isn't with the recent coaches, but with this weak squad. Years ago, Real Madrid didn't depend on just one or two players; they all had skillful and very famous players. But nowadays, Real Madrid has become emotionally dependent on Vinicius Jr., who, even when he disagrees with the coach, doesn't get criticized by the club president. On the contrary, he waits for some racial injustice committed against Vinicius to side with him.

Look, I condemn any kind of racism and agree that any fan who goes to a football stadium and is racist should be banned for a while to change their behavior. But the Real Madrid president is exaggerating his support for Vinicius Jr., making him king and bossing everyone in the squad around him. This is very obvious. Also, the president of Real Madrid has a great attachment to Rodrygo, who can't consistently score goals.

That's why, in my opinion, Real Madrid should sell: Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Franco Mastantuono, Gonzalo García, and Eduardo Camavinga.

And focus on signing other good players. When those players I mentioned leave and good players come in their places, then we'll see a good team where the coach will be respected, and he will be the one giving orders, and the players will have the task of following those orders without questioning.

So I think Klopp remains the best option for Real.

They care much about the outcome than what he offered the team. The way Xabi was playing the team to the time he exited the club, he was still around I'm not sure if the team will be at the second place in the Laliga, they will probably be somewhere trying to settle for top 5 and will be kick out of the Champions League even before they face Bayern in the Champions League. But I feel like if they don't keep him, he might keep him assistant, he is more than a coach to the club, like a family.

Zidane isn't coming back to Real Madrid, if that guy do that team will be scattered. He is one by far the most discipline coach and very organized. That thing that many players are doing in the club, he will just use them to bench them until they put their act together. The way they play and react in the field is one of the reason why the team hasn't produced something good for the club this season. The club will bring a softer version of coach than a strict one.

Manchester City doesn't need to replace Bernardo Silva because there are many better options currently available, such as Rayan Cherki, so there's no urgency for the club to buy another player.

Pep Guardiola is likely to leave, as we already know Enzo Maresca has long been groomed as his replacement.

Currently, I don’t see any coach that will be able to handle Real Madrid very well right now that is available. One of the problem of Real Madrid is that the president always want to control the coach and if he cannot control the coaches, then he start having issues with them and before you know it, he will sack them. Real Madrid should learn to leave the manager alone so he can make important decision in the club. You cannot be controlling a manager and then expecting a good results from him. Real Madrid should also make their manager have more power than the players. If you check Real Madrid you will observe that they put more attention and they respect the players more than the coaches which is very bad. I will advise that they keep him. They should not sack their current coach because no available coach in the market anymore that can coach Real Madrid very well, so they should work with the one they have and allow him do whatever he wants in the club.

We need Zidane  
Zidane was (and is) the kind of coach who can bench anyone (as he did with Bale), and in the current Real Madrid squad there are definitely players who need to take a temporary rest or even leave the club. By the way, I don’t think that Arbeloa failed, maybe if he was given the authority to fire and hire players, we would have seen something completely different. Now he works with what he has without any choice.

A former Sporting Lisbon player has reportedly suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo retire at his former youth club in Sporting Lisbon (Source). And he hopes that Ronaldo can score his 1,000th goal at Sporting before retiring. I personally think that Mendes’ suggestion is something Cristiano Ronaldo should consider to make his retirement years even more memorable. And I think Cristiano Ronaldo would truly be welcomed with open arms if he were to move to Sporting. Ronaldo’s loyal fans might also be eager for him to return there while achieving the personal milestones he’s set out to reach. What are your thoughts on this call?

Ronaldo lost the respect of many after going to Saudi Arabia. It was rather strange that a player who had been involved in goat debates throughout his career and was always considered the best, would play there. We know he doesn't need the money. Now, will he return to Europe?
That doesn't seem very likely to me. Of course, it would be nice for a star player to return to where it all started, but I don't think he will

It's a very dumb decision to leave this fast. He should ask City for another contract extension instead of leaving from the club when he's still have passion to play in the top competition such as EPL. No where else will give what he got from City. He could also get a role that would fit him better.
So his decision is not what i wanted. He could act like a mentor, but i'm not fully blaming him caused by i also disappointed with how passive City's management.

If City still sees him valuable, they should offer him a new contract extension.

[snipie]

And now I’m already reading in the news that Perez is considering four candidates for the position of Real’s head coach. Among them are the expected Klopp, Zidane, Deschamps, and Pochettino.

All options are good in my opinion since all of them are world class coaches.
For Zidane, as you said, his dream is to manage the France National Football Team so unless something fishy happening behind closed doors in Paris to ruin his dream like they did after Qatar World Cup then we could rule out him. Pochettino future will depend from the Word Cup results so yeah we could put him second in the list just after Deschamps. For Klopp, it is a mystery what is rotating in his mind. After leaving Liverpool and joining the management of the Red Bull clubs and his disappointment from what I heard from his job then I assume he will return but Real Madrid? I hesitate to believe that because he is the kind of person that has projects that requires time and Real Madrid search just for results.

So if you were part of the decision makers at real madrid, you would be pushing for arbeloa to stay on as the head coach of the club when better coaches are out there?
Do you think that real madrid is just one random club that anyone can manage? No of course. The mistake of sacking xabi Alonso has already been done, but his replacement was the reason they went trophyless this season, because a good manager will spot and easily know the flaws of his team, and address it, because i think that real madrid wouldn't have lost the laliga title if xabi Alonso was allowed to do his job, instead he was replaced with someone that is still learning how to manage a top football club.

I don't wanna be too optimistic, but this rumor is really exciting me. I like him with all of his controversies.

Eddie Howe doesn't get criticised in the slightest way even with the bad performance they had this season. Yes they was able to lift a trophy but that is not enough. The money spent on players income demands a champions league trophy or European trophy.

I one time advocated for him for Jose Mourinho to be signed by Newcastle United, but It didn’t happen. I believe there's an atom of truth in this news and I want it happening if he doesn't end up as manager of Portuguese national team.

If he was passionate about the EPL or playing for Manchester City he won't had opted to leave, I don't see his decision as a bad idea cause he's stayed in City for many years and won lots of trophies including major ones. Moreover not all players love to stay in a team for too long, some love to test new environment.

 Bernardo Silva has tried, he's given his best to contribute so City’s success so if he decides to leave now, it shouldn't be a big deal. Although some fans are disappointed that several more players might show interest of leaving too since Pep Guardiola might likely resign this season.

It's a very dumb decision to leave this fast. He should ask City for another contract extension instead of leaving from the club when he's still have passion to play in the top competition such as EPL. No where else will give what he got from City.

He has been in the club for nine years that is since 2017. With Manchester City from search, he has won 6 premier leagues, 2 FA cups, 5 carabao cups, 3 community shields, 1 champions league, 1 FIFA club world cup, 1 UEFA Super cup.  So it is normal and expected that he's tired of Manchester City and needs a new fresh competition or challenge elsewhere  with another team before he retires from football. Clubs will come for him for sure, he has won it all in Manchester City in his nine years in the club, trying to win something with another club can bring another form of excitement.

For a player to have spent this much time with one club shows how loyal and dedicated he has been over the years, calling his decision to leave a dumb one is out of place. Perhaps the player doesn't feel at home any more haven spent so much time at the Etihad, may be it's time to move on or, the club has reached an agreement with the said player to leave at the end of the season.
I believe the player has  had a mutual understanding with the club and that's the most important thing.
