⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[asriloni]

The Italian managerial position is open for any good coach to take over since they have been struggling and the worse is missing out on the world cup two times in a row and it has been a thing of concern. Yet the Italian federation has called on several coaches to take over but manager like Pep Guardiola has turned down that offer. Imagine Andrea Pirlo as the next candidate for the job, can he do better than Gattuso if given the job?

Signing Pirlo is the same like signing Gattuso 2.0. So italy is just repeating the same mistake if they're doing it. The fact that Pirlo is also among the list of managers with short time span in the football club same as Gattuso. Can't they come with a better name than Pirlo after Pep rejected their offer?

If they sign Pirlo as their new manager, it's same like they're ready not to qualify for the World Cup four times in a row! This is a bad signing.

What a pity on the Italian national team to be looking for a coach here and there without seeing any professional one. Pirlo is the least coach in my mind that Italy should think of hiring because he's not a good coach that can improve the team performance and lead them to the world in 2030.

Instead, of hiring Pirlo, let them bring back Gatuso because I prefer him to Pirlo.

This player would be a big win for Arsenal that's if the Gunners are going fully for him, it will be like having another Granit Xhaka in their squad again, but the question is, why is it always difficult for the Gunners to have good players? It is either they turn them till it is almost the end of the transfer window, honestly the Gunners are always finding it hard in the transfer market.

It's Arsenal's pattern to use the whole transfer period negotiating instead of making a once and for all deal. This is why they are finding it difficult to get players they want. They don't want to overpay the way other clubs are doing. That was how they lost the Morgan Roggers deal few days ago to Chelsea. Other clubs will just pay the first price, get the player they want and move on.

Arsenal know what they are doing because it has been working for them. Most of their signings usually take time but made sense at the end of the day. They don't compete aggressively with other clubs in pricing. The ideology is to get a player that fit into their system no matter how long it takes and if the selling club overpriced, they back off.

I don't know if it has been favoring them but the least I know is that Morgan Rogers deal is one deal I won't support any team to go with, like what sort of rubbish is that, €117m for what reason? And the kind of wage he's taking that is really outrageous, I don't know what has come over Xabi Alonso for that deal but I wouldn't suggest it for Mikel Arteta there are lots of players out there that will cost less than that and still be more productive, like I don't really like that deal for Chelsea, but for them to go for that deal they might as well have their reasons.

Pirlo was a very talented player, but his statistics as a coach are not very good. It would be a big risk to trust him as a national team coach, especially as a coach of a team like Italy, where he is likely to fail. His coaching career is not very long, his tactics seem to be somewhat good, but his experience and achievements are questionable.

Italy has no opportunity to experiment, they need immediate results now. But I don't think Pirlo will meet those expectations. Before appointing him as a coach, more checks should be done and a coach with full skills and experience should be appointed. I don't like him at all as a coach of the Italian national team.

Its really hard for the Italy national team,there arent anymore high quality players and for them just to reach the upcoming euros will be a huge thing. No body wants to take a job because everyone is expecting that Italy does big things but with all due respect they are awful. I dont know who can do a better job then Gattuso,it will be really hard to take this team with how bad they are. Pirlo can be a good candidate for Italy to try and improve them

Pirlo will command huge respect from the players, I think he’s have a good chance of making Italy competitive again.

Italy have been so bad though for a long time. They won the Euros and then just imploded. I hope to see them doing well again soon.

The Italian Football Federation is likely facing financial and other issues, given that they hired a manager like Pirlo. On top of that, a top coach would hardly want to take charge of an Italian national team that has now failed to qualify for the World Cup for a third consecutive time. In light of this, I completely understand Guardiola's decision to turn down the Italy job, as it poses a massive risk for him.

I don't think so brother, for me I believe this team will be better under Pirlo than it was when Gattuso was in charge. If they give Pirlo the job I see Italy playing like a new team and Pirlo would coordinate the team like Fabregas is doing at Como. These names are better for me, I don't see anything wrong with Pirlo after all the midfield would be more reasonable than they were since he's one of the best midfielder in football.

[Velvet78]

Another signing is on the way for Como... They are trying to convince Chelsea as he is already okay with signing for them. While his market value is 40 million euros I wonder whether Chelsea will accept this one.

But honestly I can't say I liked him a lot at Chelsea so far.    I don't know maybe this level isn't for him. He might be able to do better without this much pressure at Como.

Fabregas probably wants some a little more experienced players too. Chalobah is 27 now.

Bruno Guimeres is definitely going to be a very good signing for Arsenal and I really feel they are going to get it done, because the player really want to make the move to Arsenal,  so Newcastle has no choice than to sell him. I expect this deal to cost around £75-£80 million, so I really think that Newcastle are proving difficult so as to increase the price for the player.  It has also been reported that Mikel Arteta is the one pushing for this deal, so o strongly believe that it will go through.

The problem with some of our retired legendary players is their lack of interest to take on coaching jobs after they retired and to pass down their experiences to incoming players, however I understand the fact that it's not every player that would want to become a coach.

Andrea Pirlo would no doubt become a very good coach if he chooses to coach with his level of experiences when it comes to football.Now that the Italian football team is facing a managerial challenge, it will be interesting if see Pirlo come out for the job.

don't agree with you, I don't like Gattuso as a head coach at all. He's had the chance to manage several clubs, and in my opinion, the results of his work have been too disappointing. The same applies to the Italian national team. Italy is going through a difficult period right now, and they don't have many true leaders who can inspire and carry the team, but they need to find a way out of this situation. It will be a difficult task for Pirlo to lead Italy to the Euro, but they have to make it.

Andrea Pirlo is an icon of Italian football, he was so great as a player both at club and national team level. However, Pirlo career as a football coach has not been significantly tested. I actually really hope Pep can coach the Italian National Team considering Pep abilities with his experience coaching big clubs by presenting many trophies in every competition makes him very worthy to coach the Italian national team. But it is very unfortunate that Pep rejected the offer. Amid the decline in the quality of Italy which failed to qualify for the World Cup in a row, it would be better for the Italian football federation FIGC to take steps to bring in experienced coaches such as Gian Piero Gasperini, Antonio Conte or Giovanni Trapattoni who have a wealth of experience, they are Italian coaching figures who have many achievements they should be prioritized rather than giving opportunities to Pirlo who is still very young and has no experience coaching the National Team. However, I still respect and support the FIGC decision if Pirlo is appointed as head coach of the Italian national team.

[promise444c5]

If he's that desperate to go to Real Madrid,  then I guess he can wait his contract out and then move as a free agent, just the way Alexander Arnold Trent did, but the only issue here is that Real Madrid themselves are not interested, according to the link you provided, and it's just because of the new coach's playing style, of which I can totally understand since Mourinho is a Coach that knows specifically the kind of players needed to suit his style of play.

He actually fits in whatever their style is, they don’t just want him in their squad for some undisclosed reasons.. Jose can actually consider him as not needed because he has enough players that can play in his position already but saying he doesn’t fit is a bloody lie .

They should go ahead with building whatever they want against next season because  there won’t be any room for excuses or whatsoever ..

We know the Italian national team has tried to recruit Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti but they failed to sign either of them. and as we can see, several top-tier coaches are already managing their own clubs and national teams. So I understand just how difficult it is to find a coach whose reputation is beyond question. And, well, there must be a reason behind the Italian national team’s rush to secure a new coach. Gattuso previously failed to help the Italian national team restore its reputation, such as by failing to qualify for the World Cup. But honestly, I appreciate how he took responsibility when he failed to meet the set goals. That said, keeping him on isn’t necessarily a good idea either.

At the very least, we don’t know whether Pirlo will be better or not. still, there’s no harm in giving a chance to a coach who has never coached the national team before. After all, Pirlo is a former Italian national team player who played a total of 116 matches during his playing career. He represented the Italian national team from 2002 to 2015. so he at least knows about Italy’s glory days and was part of them. I don’t think giving him the chance to coach the national team is a bad idea. He also experienced winning the World Cup with the Italian national team back when he was a player. so he might be able to lead the team back to that same level of success.

[Hyphen(-)]

And HERE WE GO It national team are going to work with Pirlo as their head coach, let's see the transformation.

Congratulations to Andre Pirlo, he was finally appointed as the head coach to take the Italian national team to the next level, I hope he succeeded and make the team proud because he is a legend among the players that brought victory of the 2006 FIFA world to Italy, and his little coaching experience with other clubs as well as with Juventus can help him to make the team proud again.

I knew both Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti are not going for the job because Ancelotti is already with Brazil and he feels happy there, while Guardiola will not settle for such team that will not have the opportunity to spend money in signing players.

I personally think that Andrea Pirlo’s experience as a football coach is still not very convincing given that he hasn’t had much experience coaching various teams. And his coaching career hasn’t yet produced any truly outstanding achievements. Gennaro Gattuso has considerably more coaching experience than Andrea Pirlo. But even so he hasn’t been able to deliver great results for the Italian national team. I think the Italian national team would be better off prioritizing Mancini or even Conte as their top coaching targets. Antonio Conte should be the right choice for them to help the team qualify for the next World Cup and even to secure an experienced coach who can bring the team together more cohesively.

I don’t know if it’ll be the right choice, but I hope Andrea Pirlo can lead us back to the next World Cup.
From what I’ve read – though this is obviously just speculation at this stage – Andrea Pirlo wants to invest in very young players as attacking midfielders and wingers.
Will it be the right choice!? I don’t know! But at least he’s got character.

Yeah the definitely have a different reason not disclosed else no team will say they don't want a player like Rodri.
For me I think they probably have enough squad or maybe Mourinho doesn't want to work with him based on his own reasons but I think Rodri is fit enough to play in Real Madrid.

Rodri would have been a better holding midfielder for them with the type of players they are looking to sign he would have given them that balance but maybe his injury issues is why they are not really considering him. He might be a liability for them along the line so it'd be better they get someone physically fit to go all season without injury. I hope Real Madrid becomes what they want this coming season.
