⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Slow death]

Cucurella's name also being mentioned by Barcelona, he should go otherwise they will get Grimaldo from Bayer Leverkusen.

Honestly, I can't understand Barcelona. They haven't even paid Manchester United to keep Rashford permanently, but they've already spent money to sign Anthony Gordon, and you're saying they want to sign more players? Where are they going to get the money to sign all these players and still pay Manchester United to keep Rashford? I see that they don't seem to have a very clear vision about signings whenever the transfer windows open. They don't look first at their own finances and what their priorities are.

When Isak arrived to the Premier League he easily adapt to the pattern of play of his new manager, he didn't struggle with the weather and the atmosphere. Alexander Isak was consistently scoring goals for Newcastle United. But when Liverpool signed him, we thought he wouldn't struggle at Liverpool since he's already a Premier League proven player but big time he struggled at Liverpool in his first season, that is to show you that a player signed from the same league (Premier League) can also struggle.

It probably played a role that Isak completely blew the pre-season training because he was a rat and refused to fulfill his current contract at Newcastle. As a result, he arrived at Liverpool unprepared for the season and it is quite logical that he suffered an injury which further affected his adaptation. In the future, Isak should of course reach some level higher than his current one, but it looks like he will still end up being a flop that is not worth the money that was paid for him.

Liverpool paid a very high transfer fee for him, so they want to get their money's worth. However, I think Newcastle United could have made better signings with the income they got from him, and they did. If Isak had stayed at Newcastle this year, his poor performance might have lowered his price. He experienced similar problems at Liverpool, and now he seems to be worth less.

I think this is a strategy of Barcelona management. They may be willing to keep Rashford, but they are not willing to spend a large amount. So they are not showing much interest in Rashford. If Barcelona is more interested, naturally Manchester United will demand a high price.

But if Barcelona management is really not interested in Rashford, then it is their big mistake. Barcelona probably had to spend 80 million for Gordon. But they could have added Rashford to the squad by spending much less than that. And I believe Rashford will be better for Barcelona than Gordon. Also, Barcelona is ready to spend 130 million for Alvarez. Rashford is a proven player for Barcelona. He should be kept in Barcelona

[Stable090]

Andoni Iraola is an excellent manager and has proven that at Bournemouth, but as is often the case in these situations, he will need time.

He is really a talented coach which I think he should be able to improve Liverpool performance by next season. I just hope Andoni Iraola is going to perform well by next season, their will be so much pressure on him by next season, attention will be on him because Liverpool fans will expect him to fix things up within a short period of time. Let’s see how he will perform by next season, but Liverpool management should give him time to adapt with the team, I don’t think Andoni Iraola will be able to change everything within a short period of time.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Every team looking to recruit new players had certain criteria they were looking for, but now we see that every team looking to recruit new players no longer adheres to those criteria, resulting in many players being recruited who simply don't adapt. I think this isn't because the players are bad, but rather because the coach can't maximize their potential, or perhaps because the recruited players aren't able to adapt to the coach's scheme or strategy. TAA impressed with Liverpool, but when he joined Real Madrid, his performance declined. Similarly Liverpool signed several players who haven't fully contributed to the team to date.

Yes, it's a fact that they allowed players to be signed by the club plus Xabi, then they had to adapt to what they had. Now, if a Mourinho comes to Madrid, Mourinho is different; he decides who plays, who leaves, and who should go. That's how it is. I hope they can improve. I think the TAA (Tax Advisory Team) is very good, but they didn't use it well, maybe because Carvajal was in his shadow. Now things are different, and I hope they bounce back.

How to compare Rashford performance with Gordon while he has not played for Barcelona I don't think it's fair before we see his contribution, when Barcelona brought in Gordon it meant they were no longer interested in Rashford because these two players are in the same position yeah we know what it means. I agree with your opinion that Barcelona played a role in making Rashford transfer permanent at a lower price, yeah reportedly Barcelona is only willing to pay 15 million while Man United wants 26-30 million for the transfer fee, well Barcelona is in a better bargaining position because Manchester United wants to get rid of his salary burden. Another option Man United might offer him to another team, reportedly several clubs from the EPL are also interested in him.

[asriloni]

Liverpool management are careful with carrying out their research on managers before they're signed up. If they have done for Andoni Iraola, then he could be the right man for them, there's no reason to panic or assume, you just enjoy the flow as it goes.

Jesus Christ! He is tested and approved in the Premier League. Chill man, I do not see it that way, I think he will do better than Bedran Rodgers. Who knows if Mo Salah will remain with Arne Slot gone, do you all think he is going to have a change of mind?! Although there are young talents lined up to replace him.

Iraola is already official. It's interesting to see how it goes. We shall have least expectation on him. PL proven doesn't guarantee him to perform well. It's also his first time to play in Liverpool. He's not having good squad legacy like what Slot got on the first season.

So i think it makes sense if he can end up like Rogers. Especially, he will have no Salah, and some good players that were so useful for the squad in the last season.

It has to be a new challenge for him.

[9ja Amaka]

These are really hot times for Arsenal in the transfer market according to sources. Morgan Rogers is a really great talent. He can play as attacking midfielder and left winger both as well!

I think Arteta might prefer using him on the left wing more in case of this transfer. Because I don't find that side strong enough at Arsenal. Rogers is better than Trossard and Martinelli both. 

Morgan Rogers is a very good player and I think he is going to be a wonderful addition to this current Arsenal's squad,  especially foe his versatility.  I believe we are also going to see some players leaving Arsenal this season, because Arsenal is going to bring in at least 3 new player, so they need to create space for the incoming players. I am really not worried about Arsenal in the coming transfer window,  because I am confident that they are going take good signing that will definitely improve their team. Arsenal already has a good team and they know they just need some few signings to make the squad better.

Rashford refusal was mainly because of the salary and not what they can use for his release clause. Barcelona has good player that can play what Rashford was doing in the team and this is why they don't start him, only when the starters are tired that's when they used him and it's going to be mismanagement of funds if they are to be paying Rashford large weekly pay and be paying other players, it will drain the club reserve especially if they gave him a long term contract.

All this rejection doesn't matter, even the greatest player with permanent contract doesn't get renewal, if Rashford isn't accepted in Barcelona he can go home and go continue his life. He once like Manchester United that's why he went there, he can't because of one person personality hate the club, he can go back to the club and rebuild his reputation and become a better player as he used to be before Erik Ten Hag came into the picture.

Liverpool have reached an agreement in principle to appoint Andoni Iraola as their new manager.

I don’t really know what to say about the appointment of Andoni Iraola as the new manager of Liverpool, well he is a good manager, I’m sure about that, and his style of play is what Liverpool is know for, heavy metal football style, and a more attacking football, which is know by the Liverpool Supporters, but what I don’t really know for now is if he can deliver in a big club like Liverpool that have so many pressure and an ambitious club.

However there is a risky part in this appointment because he isn’t a proven coach or a manager, let’s see the players he will sigh and how he will be able to handle pressure and Challenges in a big club.

He is obviously a good Coach or Manager.

Andoni Iraola is a good coach his work at Bournemouth can speak for him, but I don't know if he will perform well at Liverpool because I have seen so many coaches that performed well in small clubs but when they have the opportunity to coach big clubs they always don't do well, we will find out if Andoni Iraola will perform well at Liverpool next season.

I see that they don't seem to have a very clear vision about signings whenever the transfer windows open. They don't look first at their own finances and what their priorities are.

Yeah obviously I was too wondering how will Barcelona can pay for this all signing like we all know that they have financial crisis and due to this they couldn't sign too much player but right now on social media we are seeing that a lot of source are whispering that Barcelona want to sign Julian Alvarez, Victor Osimen, Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Gordon. But these source also should need to understand that Barcelona 1:1 penalty and if they sign big players then probably the wages of big players will cause a trouble for them.

However, teg addition of Cucurella will the right step because he is such fantastic player his attacking mentality is too good like in overlapping spot he can capped a better display. But here I will tell you something more. If Barcelona brought another fullback then what they will do about Joa Cancelo.

It will be a more stressful period for Iraola. Because the expectations at Liverpool are different. At Bournemouth, he didn't receive much criticism when he lost a match, but with Liverpool, every loss could put him under immense pressure. Therefore, he should be aware that he's undertaking a difficult task. Arne Slot won the championship last year but was sacked this year. So, the expectation for Liverpool is to win the championship every year.

Buying players is like gambling. A player might be doing well in his former club and become a flop after moving to a new club. This might be caused by a lack of experience or even injuries. A recent case is Alexander Isak who was bought at a very high price, yet has not contributed anything to Liverpool. The club spent so much that many sports analysts predicted that they would be the major contenders for the EPL and even the UCL. But it turned out negative and out of frustration they sacked Arne Slot.

I am sure Andoni Iraola will want to overhaul the Liverpool squad. Some player would have to leave as they bring in their choice. The club would have to spend more money or force him to use the available players. I don't think sacking Slot was the right decision. One bad season is not enough reason for a sack.

When you are buying someone who is a bit unknown, or someone who has played only for one place, it might be a bit of a gambling. But I disagree that if you are buying some 30 year old dude, who has been great for the past 10 years, and still was great on the last day of the leagues, then you basically know what you are getitng into.

Like for example when Bayern Munich paid so much money for Kane, they knew that it was just Tottenham he played for, but they knew that they were getting premier league top scorer for so many years.

I’m glad there are others here who share my views on what Barcelona is doing in the transfer market, especially regarding Rashford. In my opinion, Rashford is far more needed by Barcelona. Besides, the transfer fee to make Rashford’s move permanent isn’t actually that high either if Barcelona is serious about signing him. His salary is also still negotiable. However, recent reports suggest Barcelona has been busy looking for other players even after signing Anthony Gordon. To be honest, the signing of Anthony Gordon was also surprising. Because he plays the same role as Rashford. And does that mean Barcelona won’t make Rashford’s move permanent? I just don’t understand this team. Even with its financial situation, this team is actually always one of the most active in the transfer market every season.

There decision to spend money on Anthony Gordon and others and not Macus Rashford is because they don't want to keep the Englishman. But some football analysts feels that the contract of Anthony is more financially friendly than Rashford. Barcelona would have to pay fully for Rashford, while Gordon's transfer fee will be paid within five years. Maybe they club has become financially stable this is why they have developed interest in signing more players.

[Taricoins]

Well the truth about the matter is that Andoni Iraola is the only worth while coach available in the market and Liverpool going for him is a good choice because Iraola has always delivered in what ever club he finds himself as a new coach, before Bournemouth, there was  Vallecano and that second division team in Spain he took to the Copa Del Ray final. I have been following him since he trashed Barcelona with Vallecano twice and I knew he would do great things. By the way, his play style fits into the Liverpool rooster

[arallmuus]

He once like Manchester United that's why he went there, he can't because of one person personality hate the club, he can go back to the club and rebuild his reputation and become a better player as he used to be before Erik Ten Hag came into the picture.

The club wants to sell him and Rashford wants to leave so I believe the optimal decision would be to negotiate with Barcelona to let him leave but Barcelona know about this and they try to drag the negotiation out. They want to sign Rashford but they want it to be cheaper than the clause

Barcelona would have to pay fully for Rashford, while Gordon's transfer fee will be paid within five years. Maybe they club has become financially stable this is why they have developed interest in signing more players.

Thats one part of the reason but eventually it all breaks down to their way of trying to stay in FFP rules. Rashford gonna need to lower his wages or Manchester United gonna need to lower the buy clause. Thats two are the only way for the transfer to happen

We will see what he will do in Liverpool, it is good they allow him join the club and have the opportunity to buy the players he is ready to work with, some of the Liverpool players will not be good use for him, especially with the kind of tactics he used at Bournemouth, i'm really eager to see players he will be going for, maybe bring one or two players from Bournemouth.

I don't think Barcelona need Rashford to begin with because when a team need a player, they don't need it go viral like they signed Anthony Gordon, they just made an announcement that deal has been completed and he will be coming to the club. The deals you see as noise on the time line are the ones that are not completed and those are the ones we talk about, in fact such deals are the ones the free market see as reaction before actions or no actions at all.

I just hope that Rashford and Yamal will be healthy for next season and I hope nothing happens to them, even if Barcelona try to let us forget the fact that Rashford was the one that carried the team when the both of them were away but Barcelona is making it looks like he is not important to the team. I will take that gesture like they see it as loan he was given to do in the club and that's it.

Do we still need a prophet to tell us that Barcelona clearly does not want Marcus Rashford in that team, they've already gotten his replacement on a price times two of what Manchester United asked of them, and now they are planning on signing more, and we still think they want Marcus Rashford, but it's quite a pity, just imagine how bad Marcus Rashford wants to play for the team, but yet Hansi Flick does not want him, after all his amazing performance in the just concluded season, anyways that serves him right that's exactly what betrayers get when they feel too special and too important to a particular team or person, I can still remember how Marcus Rashford was Manchester United Golden boy, but yet he chose to go against them the time they needed him the most, now he's reaping it in full package, because I'm quite certain even the Manchester United doesn't want him either.
