⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

If I may suggest, it would be better for Arsenal to sell Havertz and use the proceeds from the sale to sign a great striker to partner with Gyokeres. Especially since Havertz isn’t Arteta’s first choice and his performance has also been declining. So, rather than having to pay his fairly hefty salary, and given that Havertz rarely gets playing time anyway, it would be better for Arsenal to sell him. Gyokeres needs a strong partner up front to become Arsenal’s lethal goal-scoring machine, and Arteta needs to focus on the front line so that the attack can be even more formidable next season.

Havertz has learned to be a good striker even when it's not his natural position. He has been useful for Arteta since he joined the club, his goal contributions has really been helpful and I think if not for the injury last season he would have been the favourite striker for the team.
Although when you compare Havertz with Gyokeres you will notice the difference in vibe and style of play. Gyokeres has the natural vibe of a striker which Havertz doesn't and their goal ratio is not the same as well. Arsenal needs someone like Gyokeres so I think I agree with your suggestion about selling Havertz to get a proper striking partner for Gyokeres. It will be a good deal for Havertz as well because he can join a team that will give him more playing time.

Do you think that after such a sensational defeat as happened against Brazil yesterday, the Brazilian Football Federation will fire Ancelotti? It seems to me that before the start of this World Cup they extended Ancelotti's contract for a longer period. And now after such a defeat I think that they will have to fire him. If this happens, then in the offseason Nagelsmann will be left without a team, and it is quite possible that Ancelotti will join him. This is already a good choice for clubs.

The Brazilian Football Federation is unlikely to fire Ancelotti, the results are indeed disappointing. Because with the depth of the squad that Brazil currently has, Ancelotti can only take the team to the round of 16. But they have a contract until 2030 that has been signed, if they fire Ancelotti, they will suffer quite a lot financially, the only option is the resignation of Ancelloti himself, we have seen the reaction of the media and perhaps the Brazilian fans for Ancelotti to leave his post, but Ancelotti has clearly stated that he will not leave.

Wow, the mystery of who would be Germany’s new head coach has finally been solved, it’s Klopp. Fans have long wanted Klopp to coach Germany, and now their hopes have come true. I’m confident that under Klopp’s guidance, Germany will once again become a powerhouse, because I believe he can restore Germany to its former glory. Especially with his long-term contract, there’s a strong likelihood that Klopp will bring home a trophy for the German national team.

Appointing Klopp as national team coach was indeed the right decision, as Germany has failed to advance to the round of 16 in three World Cup competitions, as one of the favorites to win. This is very disappointing for German fans, hopefully, under Klopp, Germany will be able to play like they did in 2014 (their golden year) but Klopp style of building a solid team takes time, so Germany needs to be patient.

Of course, Klopp was appointed to restore Germany to its former strength and make it competitive once again in the race for titles at both the World Cup and the European Championship. Naturally, Klopp needs time, and the German Football Association must be patient with him as he rebuilds the team. Given his long-term contract, I’m confident that Klopp will be able to lead Germany back to success in major tournaments, just as they did during Joachim Löw’s era.

I hope Leão wouldn't end his career early by going to Saudi Arabia at 27 already... I think there would be teams in Europe to be interested in for sure. He is still a talented player in the end. 

He has just had personal problems at Milan. This has reflected on his performance at the same time. He makes around 6.5 million euros per year without bonuses right now. Not a very high salary to be paid by another European team...

I don't know why anyone will put the blame on Ancelotti when he's not the one that is using the players leg to play the ball on the pitch. Norway made proper use their goal opportunityand scored two goals to win the game. Whereas, Brazil didn't make proper use of theirs and that's why the game ended up like that. The first goal opportunity was the penalty for Brazil but they missed it because it was clear that Brazil couldn't breakthrough Norway defense.

Unexpected move to see MU is exploring a move for Santos. I meant is Santos really up their standard? Lacking of minutes, and his performance ain't that impressive compared to the 18 years old Bruno. His price is also 50m.

If they really try to sign him. I will be spechless about that. Utd seems get cursed when they try to fix their midfield.

They can go to the Wharton rather than Santos. I'm wondering how do you feel for MU fans if this transfer happen.

Chelsea would be crazy to let this player go, especially now that he has adapted to the English premier league. Latvia and esugo that they should be considering selling off due to how injury prone they are, but instead it's their best defensive midfielder after Caicedo that that is always available that they are planning on selling, is that not craziness at it peak?

This is one of the reasons am still saying that until this their new owners relinquish control of the club, Chelsea as a football institute will hardly prosper, talkless of reaching the height of Roman abrahimovic era.

Selling a young talent, which already adapted to the EPL may be a bad move, but it's not when utd is also agree to pay high price for him. you're right about he's being so good to increase club's depth at midfield, but Chelsea is now a business club.

Whoever meet the price they wanted, they will sell their players. So i expect MU to get him even you say he's one of important young lad in the squad.

Chelsea's a business mindset club right now.

It is true that Brazil will face a big financial loss if Ancelotti  is fired. But I can't find any reason to fire Ancelotti. Ancelotti does not get enough time to work on the brazil squad. At the same time, it is not possible to blame Ancelotti for this defeat against Norway. But it is  necessary to strengthen the defense  a little more. But even then, the brazilian players were able to create a lot of  chances. But their finishing was weak. They couldn't score from the penalty spot. I can not  accept the miss that Endrick made. If they had scored these two goals, Brazil could have won the match. So Brazil fans  should not blame Ancelotti.

Although everyone knows that Ancelotti is a coach of exceptional quality and there’s no doubt about that, I’ve personally felt from the start that he isn’t a good fit for the Brazilian team’s style of play. I think his presence has caused the Brazilian team’s style of play to change slightly. I’d prefer if Ancelotti could maintain the Brazilian style of play while still implementing the extraordinary strategies he’s always been capable of devising.

Now he’s promised to make the Brazilian team even better,, and well, let’s hope he succeeds and even though I feel he isn’t the right fit for this team, it still wouldn’t be wise to fire him just because the Brazilian team failed to advance past the World Cup Round of 16. reaching the Round of 16 is already quite an achievement. They were simply unlucky to have to face Norway. In my opinion, Norway is a team currently at the peak of its form, and defeating them would indeed be difficult.

It would be a shame if Leao accepted the offer from the Saudi Arabian club, as it's too early for him at an age where he still has a great chance of playing in Europe. I hope a top club signs him he has quite a bit of quality if he finds the right position.

I agree, this match was a bit unlucky for Brazil. If they had scored one goal, everything would have been very different, and Brazilian fans know that. Also, Norway isn't a weak team, and Brazil's elimination isn't that surprising. Of course, they were going to lose at some point. But it was a bit of an early exit from the tournament for them, that's true.

However, I don't think it's right to blame Ancelotti for this

Lack of what?! Bullshit!
This is not me kissing every linked transfer to Manchester United but this pal has the experience and good in his role whenever called upon. I have seen him play a couple times and he will super good in midfield for us if brought in. He is not the same players Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie but he can serve as a holding midfielder beside Mainno.
Wharton?! Hell no, he is not the kind of player Manchester United needs at the moment. We need a Tchouaméni or destructive player who could link the defenders and midfielders. I will be happy for a squad player as Santos.

Don't be surprised, bro. It's not unusual for someone to blame the coach or anyone else if their team loses, without blaming anyone, Brazil defeat to Norway was simply unlucky, as you explained, they had just as good a chance as Norway, but the Norwegian goalkeeper put in a fantastic save.

Nyland didn't look 35 in that match. Against Brazil, he perhaps played one of the best games of his career. This tournament has been a showcase for older goalkeepers. 40-year-old Vozinha also delivered a fantastic goalkeeping performance. Since most matches ended with few goals, the goalkeepers' performances were particularly under scrutiny.

He won't be ended in Saudi. There will be several clubs that will pursue him. We have not yet entered summer window, and less clubs are active in exploring the possibility of his transfer.
I also remind you Tottenham is still trying to pursue him. I believe he will be playing as Tottenham player next season.

The chance for him to go to Saudi is almost zero while he's still young enough to play football.

Carlo Ancelotti's statement after Brazil were eliminated by the Vikings of Norway suggested that he's not leaving his role as Brazil national team manager anytime soon. He's definitely in for a long term project with the team and is expected to remain as the coach till the next international tournament at least.
That said, I expected better from the Italian manager against Norway, I feel there are decisions he took that he should've done better but football will always leave you with those surprises you can't really explain. Hopefully, he'll continue to enjoy the support of the Brazilian fans till the next international tournament

Actually, the fee that Saudi Arabian teams will pay is important. If they pay or offer him a very high fee, I'm sure the Portuguese player will have no problem going to Saudi Arabia. Of course, he might want to compete in the Premier League. Tottenham could be a good starting point for that. The fee offered to him will be the deciding factor here. If a very high transfer offer comes in, he might go to Saudi Arabia.

One thing with football when two teams of equal strength are playing is making use of every goal opportunity you get properly if not,you might end up losing the game to your opponent because they will definitely also create chances of finding the back of the net and if it's utilized properly, they will win the game and that was happened to Brazil.

Snip.

I don’t know whether the news is official yet or not.
But Jürgen Klopp has made the right choice in getting back into the game after an enforced break.
Being the manager of a national team is by no means an easy or less stressful job; in fact, I’d say it’s quite the opposite – if you get it wrong, you’ve got a whole nation pointing the finger at you.

It's true, although there's no official news yet, it's certainly something to wait for the German national team's decision to make. They've been the team that's finished very quickly in two World Cups in a row. This same situation occurred this time, after losing to Paraguay, albeit on penalties. This has forced them to quickly find a new sensation so they can be like the previous seasons, when they were always the favorites among certain parties.

I think this is very fitting, especially since it's been a long time since Jurgen Klopp coached. His last time in charge of Liverpool, when he was Liverpool's manager, successfully delivered numerous titles, so I also believe it's time for Klopp to give his best for his hometown team. Several coaches have failed to deliver the best performance for the German national team, the nickname for the Panzer. We'll have to wait and see what the German Football Federation decides on the German national team coach, whether it's Jurgen Klopp or someone else.

Klopp has never done international football before. And I am not saying that to be negative as i do think he is the right guy. However, it is worth noting. Liverpool took him time. Dortmund before that took time. It is always a rough time in between till it clicks. That is not exactly the runway that you have with your national team, is it? Every few months you receive a few games and then it is a tournament and everyone expects answers.

I am also still pondering the age of the team. That 40 year old goalkeeper situation. Neuer came out of retirement to play in this World Cup. Well done to him, what a a career! However it was a sign of how the DFB was still clinging to the past. Could not get rid of them. Klopp will let go. That is one thing I am certain of.

Wirtz and Musiala are 23 years old. Both of them. If Klopp constructs around that well in the next two-three years, the ceiling is very high.

Lol, Anceloti already renewed his contract with Brazil last 2 month, so it's obvious he is staying with the team. What happened between him and the team is entirely not his fault if we are been honest neither it wasn't Vinicious but I blame the team for been outperformed by Norway, it was obvious those guys were ready for Brazil, the painful of them was the penalty they loss, they were so close to winning the match but blew it up for nothing.

Good to see Neymar finally rest, Anceloti might also get to make players be ready again if they give him another chance by next world cup because in the next four years, the contract would have expired before they start another world cup journey. Between this time, there will be more young players that he would have found so they can make the team stronger than this one.
