⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Yeah. At Chelsea, Santos wasn't giving the chance to show how good he was and the little time he got, he tried to do his best. He's got more goals than Liam Delap who is their striker. Andre Santos will fill the roles of Casemiro; they are both Brazilians and can control the midfield properly. Casemiro served Man UTD well and even though we didn't see the best of him last season, he still came through for them on major occasions.

Santos is not really a bad player but right now he will be surplus for the team so it's really best for him to go to where he will have more playing time. He wasn't really bad at first but when he was given the opportunity he couldn't meet up the standard set by other players, the likes of Caicedo and Lavia and that's why many players think he's not good enough at Chelsea. He's still young and inexperienced and might turn out to be a better player in future and can actually fill the space for Casemiro but I still think if Manchester United had gone for a more experienced player would be much better for them because they will be playing in the champions league now.

Arbeloa when in Madrid can not be confused with Arbeloa at Fulham because the squad composition is also much different. So don't expect too much that at Fulham he can provide instant success. Fulham is not such a favorite team and its existence in the English League is not as attractive as the top teams.

Fulham is not competing in the Premier League. They're just playing for survival and not to be relegated to lower division. Arbeola or whatever his name is will not be playing under pressure unlike when he was hired by Madrid that was in direct contest with Barcelona. He has nothing to worry even if plays to finish mid table because that is exactly where Fulham belongs. Coming to Fulham is like coming home to rest after hectic job at Real Madrid. If he is careful and not leading them to relegation, he's fine with his new job. I wish him good luck.

When Aberloa was at Real Madrid where he had a very good squad with exceptional players, I still could not trust him much cause he did not have much experience or any exposure for me to consider him to be someone that could propagate any threat in the la liga then,

So am not really convinced that he can do much with this fragile Fulham side especially as the league takes off this season with signs of even great intensity and competitiveness, lets hope he succeeds with his new appointment.

 Man UTD have finally secured the Brazilian midfielder's signature. I believe he'd do well at Man UTD more than Chelsea and will do well depending on how Carrick will use him or he could cover Casemiro wing as well.

He had little minutes on the pitch for Chelsea but whenever he was called upon, he always gave his best. He was never a mid player for them, I don't say this because he just signed for Manchester United but as it should be. I doubt he is the Casemiro replacement but he is more of a 6 than a 8 whenever I see and watch him. I will be rooting for him and I hope to see Manchester United add to more quality midfielders who technically sound.

I never expected Chelsea to sell to Manchester United again after Mount, from next season another boo is expected. This player is among those that we don't notice when he's on the pitch but he does a good work, now let's see if he can do more for the Red Devils, with Casemiro off I agree, he can't replace him but I'm yet to see how the manager is going to use him who knows if before the first 3 weeks of next season we would see a different player than we saw him play at Chelsea because the Blues are good at signing players but making use of them is a problem. Next season I expect Manchester United to be more competitive than they were last campaign with the players they have currently and I expect more force to dominate the EPL.

[bitgolden]

Garnacho is no longer that player you could think of if you need to score in your team cause he's been in a very poor form since he left Manchester United to join Chelsea. By next season Chelsea will be looking for a way to have a better replacement for him since he's not doing anything to improve and as a team that is trying to correct their past mistakes under a new manager they will try to sell Garnacho to add money to buy another player who will be better in his position since coming to Chelsea has been difficult for him to adapt.

Looks like he's not comfortable in Stamford Bridge or he cannot cope with their game pattern because I haven't seen any good performance from him after he left Manchester United. Of course, that's the best thing to do. Sell him off and get a better player though, another loss for the Blues.

That was his biggest mistake, and I am sure he regrets it now. United was terrible so he saw all those players that left and looked great after they left, and he assumed he would be great. But after he left ,United became better under Carrick and Garnacho stayed a normal player.

This is why I am pretty sure that he is not happy with the results he is getting and he probably wishes that he stayed at United. I can't see things changing for the time being, but it should not be that much of a great thing.

Real Madrid was too big for Aberloa to handle. In most cases, it would take an experienced coach to handle the calibre of players that are in the Spanish side. This might also be the reason why Xabi Alonso couldn't succeed.

In my estimation, Fulham is a perfect place for the former Real Madrid coach. Fulham under former coach Marco Silva performed averagely. The club management would be expecting Aberloa to take the club to greater heights. I wish him all the best.

Casemiro served Man UTD well and even though we didn't see the best of him last season, he still came through for them on major occasions.

I think Andery Santos is a downgrade to Casimero. I really don't understand why Manchester United will spend such an amount of money on a bench warmer. I believe Manchester United needs a better midfielder if they really want to contest for the premier league in the upcoming season. You might say that Santos was not giving the chance at Chelsea,  but I think we all agree that if he is good enough he will definitely get playing time at Chelsea,  but he did not get it and that's because he is not up to the level of the other midfielders. I just hope he comes out good for Manchester United,  but I really don't have believe in him.

 Man UTD have finally secured the Brazilian midfielder's signature. I believe he'd do well at Man UTD more than Chelsea and will do well depending on how Carrick will use him or he could cover Casemiro wing as well.

Welcome to Old Trafford Santos, I quite like the style of play of this player who is hardworking in the middle area, in terms of helping the attack also he is quite reliable, I do not understand why Chelsea sell players as good as this, but it will be good for Man Utd, now for Man utd midfield is filled with good players, so Carrick just use these new recruits as well as possible next season.

The biggest reason for his regret now is that Chelsea has deteriorated and Manchester United will now play in the Champions League. The bigger regret is that his performance has deteriorated instead of improving. He is not able to make any significant performance at Chelsea, maybe he is not able to adapt to Chelsea or he has lost his form.
Where his next destination is if Chelsea sells him is also an important issue. Because, performance depends on which team he is playing for and whether his strategy can play an effective role for that team or not is also important. He may not want to make the same mistake again.

Audrey Santos to Manchester United is a transfer that I did not see coming and I believe it was a bit rushed too. This Brazilian player might not be the best replacement for Casemiro but I hope he thrives in his new club.

Manchester United have not gotten the best outcome from any player signed from Chelsea just yet and I really hope this signing would not end up in regrets as well. Manchester signed with £50m which is quite an impressive amount, but that should be worth his performance.

 Man UTD have finally secured the Brazilian midfielder's signature. I believe he'd do well at Man UTD more than Chelsea and will do well depending on how Carrick will use him or he could cover Casemiro wing as well.

I hope that Manchester United will take advantage of this new sign to be able to maximize the opportunity this new season and go far with their performance, definitely you will wanted to perform well in his new team because of his own personal intention to build up his career and as well the more recognized, I've seen many players that decided to go for Manchester United all to get more fame and the prestige of the red evils, I think they are more concerned about the reputation that is concerned when they play with Manchester United and I hope you will also deliver well to them this new season.

Real Madrid is a very big club and for a coach to succeed in Real Madrid you must be an experience coach and very special, the New Coach in Real Madrid is the best decision for Real Madrid and the best choice because he's very experience and he's very special when it comes to coaching he knows how to coach players very well, the two former coaches has not gotten that experience and that level of skill to coach a big club as Real Madrid the pressure that comes with it is too much for them to handle and that was why they could not do well.
I agree with you Fulham will be a better option for the former coach of Real Madrid.

[Sexylizzy2813]

If this deal happens any moment from now I believe the Barcelona squad will be deadly and it can match Madrid next season. Dortmund are very good at having quality players but making good use of them is a big problem, with the number of quality players they have they can't stay consistent in winning titles and when they sell these players they do very well in their new club and win trophies too.
If Barcelona get Adeyemi the front line will be on fire with him and Yamal operating as the wingers that will cause problems for other clubs and the squad depth will be more better than we saw last season, could this player bring something new to the club?

Some players had to be sacrificed to accommodate the new recruits. Frans Garcia move to Real Betis proved the right decision for him, ensuring he could get regular playing time. Mourinho confirmed that new recruits would be a top priority. Meanwhile Alvaro Careras is confirmed as backup.

I can give credit to Madrid management how they make money from has old player just look a Fern Garcia Case they created the Released Clause of 40$ million they sell the players and when they see they need him so they created the Released Clause and it will be half of the selling price that's how madrid made money from has players.  Feran are good player but they really did show has talent and in other words we can say they didn't give much minutes to him. But this season madrid has alot of options to replace him so sell options is beat for Garcia. I hope they can show has talent in Real Betis

Where and how will Manchester United deploy a player who failed to deliver the expected impact at Chelsea? If Carrick specifically requested this player, he surely has a plan in mind.
The player made 25 appearances last season, recording 3 goals and 4 assists. He might not be able to fill Casemiro's shoes immediately.

I want you to know that Mohamed Salah flopped at Chelsea but when he joined Liverpool he performed very well and helped Liverpool win a lot of trophies. So if Andrey Santos doesn't live up to the expectations at Chelsea it doesn't mean he would do the same at Manchester United, it could be that Chelsea was even the reason why he didn't do well. We have seen how Micheal Carrick has been able to use the players other coaches couldn't use to win matches consistently and finished third in the 2025/2026 Premier League season; if a lot Manchester United players that weren't doing could do well under Michael Carrick management, Andrey Santos has a chance of doing well at Manchester United.

I agree, not every player succeeds in every team. This doesn't mean the player is of poor quality; every team has a different playing style, and some star players can perform very poorly in other teams.
We've seen many examples of this in the past; some players can suddenly become stars in their new teams, while others can perform very poorly. Therefore, we need to consider each player individually; dynamics change, and so do player performances

This could actually be quite a good signing. He has a lot of potential and I think he could become a really top player.

I’m actually surprised that Chelsea are willing to sell him, especially to a rival.

If this deal happens I think Barcelona next season will be more dangerous than we think because Barcelona are already making the main target Alvarez and they already sign Gorden for that's left wing if Gorden can't perform good they can use adeyemi they have pace they have technical abilities to be the backup of Gorden.  I think Barcelona are sign ademyemi just as a backup player because they can't go with carzy offer the fish bid for adeyemi are only 20$ million and BVB want 40$ million the gap between these 2 club are very much high but adeyemi already agreed personal term with barcelona and their contract is only 1 year left so BVB can't take any risk and I think they are happy with 20 million offer but let's wait we can see the final here we go soon.

Fulham is an average club and will continue to be an average club which is why you see that they wouldn't bother if Arbeloa maintain the team performance without moving forward but at least, there should be a little bit of improvement with him. If not, I see it as a wrong decision to hire a coach that wouldn't focus on moving forward on the table from season to season.

It's a bit hard to believe Fulham can improve in the next season, or even two. Squad depth is crucial for competing in the EPL, and significant improvements take a long time. So, it's simply a matter of how Fulham's management supports Arbeloa, and if he's given the freedom to bring in the players he wants, perhaps gradual improvement can occur over the next few seasons.

If this deal happens that will be a good signing for Barcelona and they will be more perfect and good for next season, let just watch how the next season will goes and I can said that Barcelona will be stronger and challenge Real Madrid for next season. Dortmund as always sell there key players when ever they build them up they need to get good player like Adeyemi if Barcelona get the opportunity to sigh him up for next season. Real Madrid are in a good shap for next season and that will be a competitive competition for next season and Mourinho is ready to face hansi flick for next season.

Santos is not really a bad player but right now he will be surplus for the team so it's really best for him to go to where he will have more playing time. He wasn't really bad at first but when he was given the opportunity he couldn't meet up the standard set by other players, the likes of Caicedo and Lavia and that's why many players think he's not good enough at Chelsea. He's still young and inexperienced and might turn out to be a better player in future and can actually fill the space for Casemiro but I still think if Manchester United had gone for a more experienced player would be much better for them because they will be playing in the champions league now.

Honestly that it, Santos is not really a bad player but getting him a playing time at Chelsea right now  will really be difficult. It really good for a young talented player to get playing time, and as Chelsea couldn’t get him that it nice to see him go elsewhere, especially Manchester United.

Filling the shoe of casimero is really going to be hard, but moving to Manchester United for me is really not a bad move for the kid. He will be playing in the champions league also which is really good for him. Let see how santos will do in his first season at Manchester United.

He is fast, but is he able to give more to the team than players like Raphinha or the other great players Barcelona has? I saw this guy playing and he is fast as speedy gonzalez, but he is not a deadly scorer. Maybe he can become one if he has the right players surrounding him, but Barcelona is usually not the club that wants to develop players over time. They want effects immediately. I don't know very much about him, but the few times I saw him play, I thought his speed is insane, but then when he works his way through the defense and gets the chance to finish the attack, he doesn't score. Or he doesn't score as often as he could.

Given how much players are these days, I read a price in the range of 20 - 30 million and I thought that is not too much money for him and it is probably worth a try.
