⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Rruchi man]

So far, seven players have officially joined Chelsea in this transfer window. They are:

Of all the top six teams, Chelsea and Manchester United seem to be the teams that are making the most moves in this transfer window, with teams like Arsenal and Manchester City taking their time to be more selective. I believe it is a good move by Chelsea trying to rake up all the players they need so they can start building chemistry together before the new season begins. There are a lot of expectations under the new coach.

two veteran players are also set to join: Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson. This team just never seems to run out of money. 

These two players may not get a lot of game time, but they will certainly bring leadership and some stability to the Chelsea side; their experience will also be valuable in some setting games. I am sure that is why they have been brought into the club.

Now that the news of Vinicius going to Arsenal is likely never to happen, which world-class winger do you think Arsenal will shift focus to? We have Tzolis; he is not enough to achieve the ambitions that we have as a club.

I still don't understand PSG when it comes to this guy Kolo Muani, he's a good striker that doesn't take chances even with his pace he still make sure of troubling defenders. A player who is as good as him but PSG doesn't have any intention of keeping him or even to let him go instead they move him out on loan, for the 3 seasons (if I'm not mistaken) now including this upcoming season they have been loaning him to clubs outside Ligue 1, to Serie A (Juventus) to the EPL (Spurs) and now he's back to the Old Ladies Juventus on loan, what's really happening that they can't let him go?

If kolo Muani didn't miss that's Fifa Worldcup 2022 final last minute chance. They will be the main men for France Team as well as Psg can give him the main role after Mbappe departure but he is not trustworthy guy and most importantly they are not consistent in many things they have pace they have very good first touch but in big stage game they make stupid decisions so that's why he is not selected in France squad.

3 season in a row on loan. Kolo Muani don't have any permanent place they are just checking the whole European league every new season they explore Ligue 1 , they explore the premier league and now again in the serie A. Hope next season they can loan out to any laliga club and then Bundesliga  . It's quite funny to see a player don't have any permanent club. They are just enjoying the life.

This is absolutely crazy. What does Chelsea expect from Danny Welbeck, who is already 35 years old? It’s really strange to see Chelsea’s transfer policy this time around, targeting older, unproductive players. Is Chelsea running out of money that they’re signing older players? Because they usually sign young players for high prices. I’m not sure if the signing of Danny Welbeck was at Xabi Alonso’s request. This is just the work of the club’s sporting director.

Yes, Chelsea transfer policy this time seems crazy, but if you look at it from a different perspective, Chelsea has a strong reason behind these unreasonable transfer. Chelsea sees Welbeck as a player with experience and leadership skills, he is expected to be a mentor for Chelsea young players. His arrival was not to be the main striker in 38 EPL matches and other competitions, but as a senior reserve player to complement the other young strikers whose average age is still 23 years old.
Chelsea transfer policy changed drastically since Alonso arrival not because they are running out of money, but because they need senior players to be leaders in the dressing room. In my opinion, Welbeck transfer wasn't just the sporting director's decision, but rather at the request of Xabi Alonso. Furthermore, his contract is for two years until 2028, so this is purely a short-term move, not a 5 year project.

you are forgetting he always give Chelsea though time every time Chelsea face any team he's playing for, hahaha, maybe that maybe the reason they signed him so he can save them the stress, lol, but joke apart Chelsea really need this kind of players right now because they need a coordinator in the dressing room, someone that can share his experience to the young players, I don't really think Chelsea is going to make him a priority in the attacking force just like you said, hell no but the deal Is they need an experience player that can guide the young ones on how to go about facing challenges on the pitch.

Even being signed by Chelsea at the age of 35 could be a source of pride for him. Because many players are nearing the end of their careers at this age. He, however, has joined a team aiming for the Premier League title. I like Welbeck,  he's a good backup and an experienced goalscorer. He will be one of the best options for Chelsea to manage young players.

[uchegod-21]

I still can't understand the love Chelsea have with the club Brighton, well it seems they saw that awesome performance in Danny Welbeck as if last season but my question is, what about Jackson and the other guys, Pedro and Delap? Well is better to have Welbeck than Delap.
Let this signings for Chelsea not make the team to be surrounded by old players since they are still pushing to get Henderson, goodluck to the Blues.

When I heard chelsea was bidding for welbeck the first word that came to my head
Was Ancestor
I believe he's not the type or age of player they should be looking for.
Pedro? Prone to injuries and well red card
Jackson? Currently eyeing Aston Villa but would have to be a permanent move since Villa have met their loan quota
I doubt Jackson would want to play for Chelsea.
Delap? This made me laugh out loud
Like Delap  

I was surprised by Welbeck and Anderson's transfer but at a time, I was not so much worried anymore.

Xavi Alonso understands EPL and he wants to bank on experience to give Chelsea trophy just this season, so that they will release good funds for him to rebuild the team.
I remember some years ago Chelsea sold their good old players like Kante, but they are buying old lads back to the squad. But I believe it is a temporary solution and not a permanent one.

Alonso is definitely cooking, let the season start and we will see the nature and the taste of the food he is cooking.

Chelsea also needs experienced players, and experience is a valuable asset to the team. They've felt this in many previous matches. Welbeck's experience will also benefit Chelsea. The focus should be on the contribution players make to the team, rather than their age. I believe Welbeck will contribute in many matches and provide an advantage in many situations.

Chelsea's transfer policy differs from many other teams, but I think Welbeck will be a valuable addition to the team.

Alonso is definitely cooking, let the season start and we will see the nature and the taste of the food he is cooking.

I perfectly understand why Alonso actually was going for Danny Welbeck because Chelsea needed a very good back up striker who would not be mindful of few minutes and seriously the Welbeck signing is the perfect solution for that because 13 premier league goals last season was even a better tally than most younger strikers and also he comes with valuable experience, seriously he was actually one of the player that I thought Manchester United would have brought back to help the youngster Benjamin Sesko.

Also for Henderson I was surprised and still surprised because I thought they were after Xhaka who comes with experience too but offers more on the pitch than Henderson but I think the fact that Hendo was coming for free was the reason why he was actually signed ahead of the Sunderland captain.

They are all reasonably signings but that shouldn’t translate to the saying Alonso understands the league because he has never coached here before, we have seen the likes of Lampard and Viera who also played in the league before like Alonso but failed at managing a club in same league

[LUCKMCFLY]

It seems Xabi saw a lack of experienced players in the team. He was looking for good transfers that could serve as role models for the younger players, and perhaps that's why he made these transfers. We all expect young players to succeed, but that doesn't always guarantee success. Because when young players lack experience, you see that the team falls short in terms of success. Xabi will be heavily criticized if he doesn't get enough return from these transfers. I'm sure he's aware of this, but if he specifically wanted these players, there must be a reason.

Xabi is a brilliant player and coach, he knows what he's doing. For me, he's building a great team with everything he needs to implement his strategy. We have to let him work; only he knows what he wants and how far his abilities will take him. I'm sure that Chelsea players don't have the same egos as Real Madrid players, which are so high, so I think he'll do well. If he makes history like he did at Leverkusen, things will turn out very well.

[Lillominato89]

I still don't understand PSG when it comes to this guy Kolo Muani, he's a good striker that doesn't take chances even with his pace he still make sure of troubling defenders. A player who is as good as him but PSG doesn't have any intention of keeping him or even to let him go instead they move him out on loan, for the 3 seasons (if I'm not mistaken) now including this upcoming season they have been loaning him to clubs outside Ligue 1, to Serie A (Juventus) to the EPL (Spurs) and now he's back to the Old Ladies Juventus on loan, what's really happening that they can't let him go?

This time it is not simply a player loan; instead, the contract now includes a mandatory buy-out clause, subject to certain conditions being met by the player.
If I am not mistaken, the agreed fee will be 55 million euros.

So I believe that PSG are now intent on parting ways with the player

If he makes history like he did at Leverkusen, things will turn out very well.

He had achieved tremendous success with Bayer Leverkusen, and that success had taken him all the way to Real Madrid. However, I think he faced different realities at Real Madrid. It seems to me that if Real Madrid players don't like their manager, they'll do anything to get him fired. That's why I think Jose Mourinho accepted a risky job. He needs to strike a very good balance between Mbappé and his teammates. Otherwise, the Portuguese manager's fate might be similar to Xabi's. I think Xabi Alonso will now be able to manage things better and more comfortably at Chelsea.

You are very correct, because I don't understand why they are not keeping him and also not selling him, rather they prefer to send him out on loan. I really think he is a decent striker, and maybe PSG is still have some hopes in him, so they don't want to sell him outrighy.  I really think he did well at Juventus last season and he seem to fit their style of play. He is definitely going to do well at Junevntus in the upcoming season, because he understands their style of play and will only improve.

according to reports in turkey, the league’s two giants, galatasaray and fenerbahçe, are both vying for leao’s transfer. if one of them manages to sign him at this point, it will undoubtedly be a massive victory over the other. it’s said that the managers of both teams are closely monitoring the player. transfer fees of close to 50 million euros are being discussed.

fenerbahçe has already made quite a few signings, so financially, galatasaray should be in a better position, in my opinion, but it seems like fenerbahçe has set its sights on the championship this season.

Raphel Leao will definitely be a good signing for any of the team, he his a good player, he technical ability is top notch and he loves to take on defenders. We know he had a very bad season at AC Milan, he was not getting much playing time this past season but his quality can’t be denied. For me I would prefer see him go to fernabeche, I would love to see them win the league next season.

One thing is certain, Leao will be leaving AC Milan this summer, but where will he his home next season is something that is still not clear. 50 million euros for him is not bad, especially in This current market. It will be really nice to see him the Turkish league next season.

Maybe I can try to put myself on the shoes of whom ever that's handling the transfer affairs of PSG, Kolo Muani ls a fine and versatile player and given this attribute, they PSG don't want to lose him to another club by selling him, so the best they could do is to loan him out. Currently he won't and can't be played ahead of Dembele, even Ramos doesn't have enough game time but they see they manage the situation. I think the only logical thing to do is to send the player on loan, if his at the club, he will be on bench and that will be er help the player to develop more. On loan, he gets playing time and continues doing what he does best which is to play football. Most times I don't blame clubs who sends good players on loan, they are aware the players they currently have a good if not better that's why the send others on loan. With that they get to keep both the ones playing and the ones on loan.

Even being signed by Chelsea at the age of 35 could be a source of pride for him. Because many players are nearing the end of their careers at this age. He, however, has joined a team aiming for the Premier League title. I like Welbeck,  he's a good backup and an experienced goalscorer. He will be one of the best options for Chelsea to manage young players.

If not for the Premier League experience Welbeck has to impact on Chelsea young strikers I don't see any reason why Xabi Alonso should bring him to Chelsea at all because he's old and has little time to play football, considering that Chelsea is in the rebuilding stage they don't need a player like Welbeck who can't serve them for a very long time.

There aren't many teams in the Turkish league that can afford to pay him that much money. We could perhaps talk about Galatasaray or Fenerbahçe, but considering Fenerbahçe spent a lot of money on the Greenwood transfer, I think Galatasaray is the only option left. Galatasaray spent a very high amount of money on the Nigerian striker last year. However, with the budget increase this year, they can make some transfers. I don't know if they will pay 50 million for Leao because they currently have more important areas to strengthen. They need to acquire some players for midfield and defense because those are their weakest areas in the Champions League.

Koko Muani is one of the best Frontline any manager could have in his team but is he consistent? Because there got to be a reason why PSG manager, Luis Enrique have no plans for him and didn't even include him in his projects and PSG got to loan him out again to another team. Juventus will keep him and make good use of the frenchman because he's versatile in the Frontline position, he can play as a winger and also a force 9, it all depends where the coach wants him to play.

Kolo Muani going to Juventus on loan, I think it's a good deal for him, atleast he would get enough minutes in turin because he's a top player and the Kolo Muani I know will ensure he stand out in the team, making sure he records significant G/A next season.

So far, seven players have officially joined Chelsea in this transfer window. They are:

Of all the top six teams, Chelsea and Manchester United seem to be the teams that are making the most moves in this transfer window, with teams like Arsenal and Manchester City taking their time to be more selective. I believe it is a good move by Chelsea trying to rake up all the players they need so they can start building chemistry together before the new season begins. There are a lot of expectations under the new coach.

two veteran players are also set to join: Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson. This team just never seems to run out of money. 

These two players may not get a lot of game time, but they will certainly bring leadership and some stability to the Chelsea side; their experience will also be valuable in some setting games. I am sure that is why they have been brought into the club.

Now that the news of Vinicius going to Arsenal is likely never to happen, which world-class winger do you think Arsenal will shift focus to? We have Tzolis; he is not enough to achieve the ambitions that we have as a club.

Man Utd is indeed a team that is currently trying to sign many new players in the transfer market and most of these deals are still in the negotiation stage. So far they have signed two players: Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.

However, there’s an interesting move by Carrick’s coaching staff right now. Four young players have been promoted from Manchester United’s youth academy to the first team. They are:

- Shea Lacey, 19 years old
- Jack Fletcher, 19 years old
- Tyler Fletcher, 19 years old
- Dermot Mee, 23 years old.

I’m quite surprised by the Fletcher brothers. Are they twins? if they are twins and end up playing together on the field someday, that would be incredible. 


As for which players Arsenal might target if they fail to sign Vini Jr., there are actually a few good options. But, well, they won’t be as good as Vini Jr. Reportedly, one player Arsenal might be interested in is Antonio Nusa. He proved his quality at the World Cup. However, I’m not sure if Arsenal will be able to sign him, since AS Roma is also interested in him.

Alonso is definitely cooking, let the season start and we will see the nature and the taste of the food he is cooking.

I wasn't in the slightest way for real. Seeing them move for Granit Xhaka told me enough already.

I'm not so sure for the Premier league competition, but I'm confident they'll win either the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup Competition.

The club is officially a selling club, but things could still change under Xabi Alonso.

The job may not look easy as it seems but Xabi Alonso is an experienced mother fvcker who can withstand the Premier League Competition and even the toxic English press and media.

There simply isn't any room for him in the team. There are too many good players, and going out on loan is his only option. He can't even make the bench because Ramos is the second choice striker who comes off the bench and scores goals.
He originally joined Juventus to replace Vlahovic, who was expected to leave. In the end, Vlahovic took his place and started scoring goals. At Tottenham, his statistics were 30 appearances and only 1 goal.PSG don't want to let him go because they might need him again someday. That's the only explanation i can think of.
