⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

 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.

Congratulations to Manchester United on signing Andre Santos from Chelsea, he is not a bad player but didn’t have good time in Chelsea; therefore, we can’t conclude that the player is not good enough for Manchester United, we only need to wish them well and the players as well because the team is dedicated to create a strong team that will make the team proud; and since Casameiro has left the team, they need midfielder to replace him so that it will not affect the team performance generally. I just hope they sign a player with higher quality than this one they have signed because they have to play in the Champions League next season, and the competition in the EPL will be tougher.

It is true that we cannot conclude anything about the quality of Andre Santos, so we will give him more time to prove his worth. At Chelsea he will not get the playing time he wants and the decision to choose Man United is very right. His biggest challenge is just beginning, because to prove the quality of his game is clearly not going to be easy in a competition as tight as the EPL.

It's fucking nuts, of course. He's only 26 years old, but his price dropped from $85 million to a free agent, lol! And this is in such an inflated market! United have an option to extend his contract for free (for a year), but they decided not to use it because Sancho's salary is 200 thousand a week and it is not a fact that they will be able to sell him. It will be interesting to see where Sancho can go and what salary he can get now, they say he wants to return to Dortmund.

Reportedly, Jadon Sancho is prioritizing a Premier League club as his new club but unfortunately, until now there has been no official confirmation, there are rumors linking Sanco with Crystal Palace but obviously there would be no deal if he wanted the same salary. Some sources say a decent salary for him currently is around 80k-100k per week, which club do you think would be willing to pay for his current performance? Dortmund? I know Dortmund are interested in him but still salary is the main obstacle. I think he has a chance to move to the Saudi Pro League, there he can get a decent salary.

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.

I think Fulham took a risk by bringing in Arbeloa. Arbeloa is a manager who couldn't even find success with Real Madrid's excellent squad. It's very difficult to predict what he can achieve with an average team in the challenging Premier League atmosphere. There's also the possibility he might not be there by mid-season, which we need to discuss. For the Spanish manager, his time at Real Madrid was already going to be a career leap, and he seems to have achieved that.

I think it was more about professional experience at a high level, more so than just success. This isn't something Fulham doing to get some success right now, but more like "how does Real Madrid work, and how can we replicate it within our budget", they can't do what real does, but they can do a miniature version of it within their limits.

That could be the reason, he played there, worked there, managed there, so Arbeloa could show them how Madrid does things and this could be a long term help.

My take on this transfer saga is that they should let him play for next season by then we can decide if he's a flop or a good signing, and most at times this kind of singing are the ones that actually deliver the most, for instance take a look at Cole Palmer he's always in the bench at Manchester City team, till Chelsea bought then he became a beast in the team so I'm expecting same for this Andrey Santos deal, and again I don't think Michael Carrick will also spent that much on a player he can't count on, so let's just be patient till he plays for the club first.

Let's be honest, which other good coach would you think could go to Fulham, or which good coach do you think they could afford on short notice? I think Fulham is a good place for Arbeloa to explore his coaching talent and also gain more experience. Who knows, he could actually improve the team (not necessarily to win the league but to improve on their league position) and later make a move to a bigger club.

Sometimes I think players who rarely get playing time are good players so it's better for them to accept offers from other teams. This is also for their own benefit so they can continue getting playing time. This might be the case with Andre Santos. At Chelsea he rarely got playing time sometimes losing out to other players in the same position as him. It's better for them to accept offers from other teams to join.

And this must be thought about carefully by Andre Santos because every player still wants to give the best to the team they defend but if as we are discussing that if the playing minutes are lacking of course the right step for them is to just join another team which is an option for them to continue their career so that they can get a call to defend the national team especially since their age is still young so it is very appropriate for them to accept the offer offered by another team and this team is interested in recruiting Andre Santos, namely Man United, which is the team that is in its best form after Michael Carrick managed to find the best performance that Man United ever had under Sir Alex Ferguson at that time.

You're right, before drawing any conclusions about Santos, we must first examine his performance on the pitch with Manchester United. If he can't make a decent contribution in a single season, then we can consider Manchester United move to bring him in a failure, or perhaps Carrick failure to maximize Santos potential. Some players fit in immediately and adapt quickly, others take time, and for other reasons, which is very common in sports. But I believe Santos can prove it and make a significant impact for Manchester United, and I also believe Carrick can make this player useful.

[el kaka22]

For me, the thing about Andrey Santos deal is that, United once again overpaid for him. That is the problem that United has, paying 50 million for a player who did not even crack the starting line up at Chelsea is not how you get better.

I understand if Carrick has a special way of utilizing him, maybe it will be worth it, but still that is future potential and not right now. If they bought him for lets say 20 or even max 30 million then I would say that is good enough, but in reality we are not seeing that. We should be considering how Santos deal will be something that will take a while for it to show itself, and I would say that he could be good but even if he turns out good, that doesn't change the fact that they overpaid for him.

Juventus seems never learn from their mistake in the past. €38M for Rendal Kolo Muani is a ridiculous price. Kinda weird they are keen to take PSG's useless player out of the club. I know Kolo has been scoring 5 from his three appearance in serie a when he was playing for them.
However, it can't be used as a good basis to buy him with that ridiculous amount of money.

Why don't they spend their money wisely instead of acting like they're playing football manager? If they really buy Kolo Muani from PSG. I think it's over for them. It's ridiculous transfer.

Although Arbeloa is indeed just a young coach, he does have experience at Real Madrid that he can draw on to get the most out of Fulham. Granted, Fulham has limitations when it comes to building squad depth, but at the very least, Arbeloa can maximize the existing squad using the methods he employed and learned during his time at Real Madrid. Although his most recent experience was with Real Madrid’s U19 team, the fact that he was a player who represented Real Madrid for quite some time means he certainly understands how Real Madrid operates, which has allowed them to become such a strong team, aside from their truly exceptional pool of talent.

Reportedly, Arbeloa is now also targeting three Real Madrid players to persuade them to move to Fulham. I haven’t read the latest reports yet, so I don’t know if that’s true or not.

Well for me, in this current market, 38 Million euros for Kolo Muani is not a bad deal for them. He has had a very decent past, he his a goal scorer and he his 27. During his loan spell at juventus he had a decent season with them, he had 9 goal contributions in 16 league games for them. I feel he can work out for juventus, he his already familiar with the league and the club, so settling in should be easy for him.

Juventus don’t want to spend much and with such amount that the kind of players you are going to have. The market is currently exploited and to have good player you definitely need to spend much. If deal is finalized we will where Juventus and kolo Muani will end next season.

This whole saga is turning into a joke by now. Juventus have been chasing a deal for Kolo Muani for three years now; so, at the end of the day, either they have the money or they don’t. They spent 80 million on Vlahovic, and now he’s leaving on a free agent, leaving them with a pitiful squad. I hope that with the new arrivals at the club, they’ll manage to turn things around; otherwise, it’ll truly be yet another year of disappointments.

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?

This is the reason why I'm disappointed with the Marcus Rashford return to Manchester United. Barcelona should have signed Marcus Rashford for a lesser fee but rather, they are headed for players who with more value than him and also work rate. Now this bothers me why Manchester United are refusing to do just the same thing. Well, not to drift from the main conversation, here Adeyemi gon be explosive asf for Barcelona. I do think they need a defensive signature though.

I understand your concerns about this rumor. However, for Juventus, it's not necessarily a bad move because Kolo Muani previously made a solid contribution, even if it wasn't particularly outstanding. That's probably why Juventus seem willing to take the risk, hoping he can finally show his full potential and help the club achieve better results. So there's nothing wrong with giving him another chance, even though there are still some doubts about whether it will work out.

Andrey Santos is a young player. He is probably 21 years old. Chelsea could have kept him in the squad if they wanted. Alonso has previous experience working with young players. However, we do not know yet whether this is a good signing for Manchester United. But Andrey Santos is a talented player. He scored 10 goals in his last season with Strasbourg. Carrick is probably adding Santos to the squad as a substitute. He will not get a place in Manchester United's starting XI. Considering it as a substitute player, it can be said to be a good deal for Manchester United.

Barca has finally reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for Karim Adeyemi. Adeyemi will be brought in by Barca for 22 million euros plus 7 million euros in potential bonuses.. in this transfer, Adeyemi will sign a five-year contract at Barca, where he will receive a net salary of around 6 million euros per season. Adeyemi is a young star who has scored 36 goals and provided 25 assists in 146 appearances for Dortmund, and his arrival at Barca will be a great addition to Barca's attack.

This is a great deal for Barcelona. I wouldn't say Karim Adeyemi is a great winger. But he is a rising star. Karim Adeyemi is only 24 years old. If Hansi Flick can use this talent properly, I have no doubt that he will perform even better in the future.

Barcelona doesn't have to spend a huge amount of money for Karim Adeyemi. They have saved money. And it is a 5-year contract. This doesn't mean that Barcelona's plans with Karim Adeyemi are long-term. It seems like a good signing for Barcelona. They have already strengthened their attack by adding Gordon to the squad. Now if Barcelona can somehow add Alvarez to the squad, then Barcelona will become even stronger.

Jadon Sancho has no choice than to reduce his salary. No team in Europe will be interested to pay him such amount he might be hoping to receive because he hasn't proven the reason he should be paid such amount in recent seasons.

I think one team that would be ready to give him a fair pay and wonderful home coming would be Dortmund, in the EPL I can't really see any team  who will be coming for him but maybe after this news things might be different yet the salary would be an issue until he decides to get a pay cut.

Wow, good negotiation from Barcelona, I don't believe a player of Adeyemi class can be obtained at a relatively cheap price considering his pretty good stats shouldn't be valued at such a price, other than the fact he was bought from Dortmund which we know they usually sell good players at high prices. A good addition for Barcelona, although it is likely that Adeyemi will only be a substitute.

[promise444c5]

Raphinha is getting older, and he's often out due his frequent injury. Meanwhile, they can't always push yamal to always play beyond his limit. So adding a new winger like Adeyemi who can play with both of foot is important. Adeyemi can becomes back up for both left and right side at the same time.

As for the defense, i don't think their current defense is enough. They have to sign a new CB to strengthen their backline. Sticking with the current CB is just a suicidal plan for the next season.
Kinda weird to see they so slow in strengthening their defense, but we're still far away from the start of new season. So i expect them to sign new defender.

Fair point..

There’s only one way to find out if the defense is really capable, and that’s a whole season but at a likely cost of another UCL or even Laliga ?

Atleast, i think a single CB but I think I know what Flick is going to do.. Garcia will now always play on CB along with Cubarsi.. RB- Kounde, not sure the position for Christensen but there’s likely going to be 2 RB and 2LB [Balde and Cancelo].. not really bad anyway.
