⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Abu-Naim]

Mudryk’s been a massive failure, he came for huge money. He was terrible and then got banned for drugs. Chelsea will be regretting those really long contracts they keep giving out. I am surprised they couldn’t legally end Mudryk’s contract for breaching terms.

The money Chelsea used to sign him is massive, coming from a small team, he was hyped then and Chelsea won the battle above Arsenal to sign him, but he was flopping in the two seasons he played with Chelsea, while Trossard that Arsenal signed when they missed out on signing Mudryk did well and has won the league with Arsenal. Because of the money, Chelsea did not end his contract, they stood by him when he was allegedly involved in this case, but luckily, he is out and ready to play again.

With this current  Chelsea situation, he is an added advantage to the team in my opinion because they needed a winger like him now, but he can’t just blend back after long timer absence, I think he need to be loaned out to have playing time before he can come and continue in Chelsea.

I think he has been training and also trying to keep himself in a very good shape since the ban, but the fact that he hasn't actually kicked the ball in any competitive competition makes it a lot difficult for him to fit in the current team. Signings like these are always big losses to the club, and not every club has that patience to give a second chance except the serving manager pushes for it, and I doubt if Alonso is actually willing to do that. But again, just like you said, the transfer window Is still very much open, and I believe if there are any interesting offers from other clubs... Then Chelsea won't hesitate to drop him off and get another replacement.

It is fortunate that Xabi Alonso still believes in him and has him in his plans. Chelsea coach has even stated that Mykhailo Mudryk might gesture in their next games against Juventus in Hong Kong. He has always claimed that he unintentionally took a banned substance, and the club is giving him a second chance.  He needs to work harder than most players since he has been out of play for a long time. The club might be forced to loan or sell him if he underperforms.

Although I do not really understand where he will be placed later but when Madrid are confident of signing Yan Diomande then certainly Mou need this player for their next season plans.

If it's a done deal, it's essential for him to ensure his team isn't incomplete. Mourinho has been building his squad despite the weaknesses shown over the last three years, during which they achieved absolutely nothing. Furthermore, Florentino Pérez, having won the presidency again, must deliver, and he's buying every player Mourinho tells him to. Expectations are high for him, and he also has a strong interest in Rodri. It seems everything is progressing well. I hope these minor issues are resolved so they can assemble a strong Real Madrid team.

The news concerning Mourinho signing Rodri has gone beyond what I've expected, if it is about building a team and not for short-term benefits Rodri shouldn't be in the picture, this is because of his age, and trust me Madrid wouldn't give him more than two years deal. However I see this move of trying to sign Rodri as a mistake that has been made and it's been tried to correct, if they had this kind of mindset of signing a prayer like Rodri then there was no need to have sold modric, modric for me is more in-depth in creative midfield than Rodri, except for the defensive mindset that Rodri has which still doesn't count if you want to look at things critically.

That should have been Arsenal battling with him if not that he refused to join the Gunners. But the player hasn't been himself like for the main reason they bought him, always making some mistakes, we know all that but this drug issue is something I myself don't really trust the story, somebody isn't telling us what we need to hear if the player is guilty or not but that's a story for another day.
The good thing is Mudryk is back with the team. Chelsea sometimes act like they love a player to stay for a very long time but look at players they gave that same long contract, where are they now? They sold some and even loan some, the club don't know how to make use of these players whenever they give them a long contract, this should be done in clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal Liverpool, not Chelsea. Is like they do give this long contract because they would like a bigger bid if clubs are coming to get any of their own. Yet again, player like Mudryk isn't going to last long at Chelsea but I pray he prove himself this time around.

Chelsea play a friendly against Juventus tomorrow and Alonso said he might give a chance for Mudryk to play for a while to see how he's doing. I think Alonso himself doesn't know what to do yet because he has no information on the player's condition. in my opinion a loan to a weaker club would be a good decision so that Mudryk can get regular playing time.

Mudyrk was signed with great expectations, and his club paid a lot of money for him. However, he never quite found what he was looking for at Chelsea. His long suspension has now ended, and he will be back in the Chelsea shirt. Of course, Xabi can plan a game plan that utilizes his explosive power and speed. If he maintained his form well during his suspension, he can play for Chelsea again. However, in my opinion, a year-long loan spell would have been a wiser decision for Chelsea.

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

He is obviously a failure at Chelsea, he was all smiles during his coming back to training, but the club officials are not going to be smiling with him, he is obviously going to leave the club, I saw transfer news linking him to Coventry, if that is true it would be a good move for him, to try and revive his career, he needs where he can play regular football, you’re absolutely right, Chelsea would be regretting giving out those long term contracts, there was no point giving out those contracts, now I think they’ve learnt their lessons, they should’ve given Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson lengthy contracts.

[ingiltere]

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

He'll be better than last season. Scoring against Kocaelispor is easier than scoring against Manchester United after all. He'll improve his goal and assist stats again. Last season he was a failure at Liverpool. It was one of the worst seasons of his career. That's why Liverpool didn't renew his contract and he didn't receive any offers from any other major leagues. He had to choose between Turkish and Arabian leagues, he chose Trabzonspor.
He couldn't have found that kind of money anywhere else. Trabzonspor made huge concessions and will pay him a hefty salary along with substantial bonuses. All the revenue from jersey sales abroad will go to Salah for example. Where else have you seen a deal like this?

Nevertheless, the guy changed managers five times in two years. Potter wanted him to be on the touchline. Lampard was not sure what he wanted. Pochettino did use him well and he looked good all of a sudden. People do not remember how bad that club was.

Arsenal paid less than a third of what Chelsea paid and received a player who just got the job done. Won them the league. In the meantime, Chelsea received 14 goal contributions in the league and a doping case. Like you cannot even argue that one it is just pain.

As for the loan, I think you are right in theory. But who is paying those wages. Seriously. The financial rules now state that even if he is paid by Chelsea, the majority of the time, it still counts towards their spending cap, even if he does not play a minute for them.

Shit happens that's why he couldn't be himself like making defenders suffer like before and you think if Liverpool had given him a contract he'd take? I don't think so, they needed to make way for some of the young ones or new players because Salah has nothing to prove anymore, he won titles with the club and they know is time for him to make a move for them to let the younger generation to excel. Honestly, I was expecting him to leave after they won the EPL title but he stayed, at the end where did it land him, into a problem that he wasn't the cause, that was his mistake (staying at the club for one season).
I don't expect him to work more at his new club because he's not as fast as he used to be but if you give him the chance he'd convert it, no much pressure as it was with Liverpool, now he only plays like nothing is on the line.

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

Why Trabzonspor?

For a big player like Mohamed Salah who's won every titled that an European player should win in club level, is he supposed to be playing for another European team after leaving Liverpool?

Why not go to the Saudi Pro League or is it that his agents couldn't get him a lucrative deal to play in the Middle East?

I'm not saying it's a bad move for him to go play in Trabzonspor but considering what he's achieved so far in his career, I was expecting him to leave Europe so his European legacy will not be reduced

[Ale88]

Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson transfers were massive. Clubs are spending a lot more money now. Inflation plays a role in this, but sometimes you see ridiculous figures that make you wonder that is this player really worth that much.

Do you think this year's record will be broken again? I don't think Rogers will be the most expensive transfer of this window. The player who might surpass him could be Vinicius. 138 million Euro is an insane amount of money, there are very few players who could justify that kind of price tag. I think Vini is one of them and his transfer is really likely in the next couple days if not weeks.

These players aren't worth that much, but it seems the Premier League has a market of its own.
Take Tonali, for instance—is he a €100 million player? I certainly don't think so, yet Tottenham paid that amount and signed him.
Fulham bought Gonzalo from Real Madrid for €70 million. He is a young player; if he succeeds and performs well in the Premier League, Fulham could sell him to top-tier clubs for an even higher price next year.
If such sums are being paid for these players, then €138 million for Vinicius is actually a bargain.

Tonali may not be a 100-million-player but at least, after all, it's not even a totally made up evaluation because he's been playing greatly for years, since he was a teenager basically. Do we want to talk about the 130+ millions spent for players like Roger and Anderson? Because, I don't know you, but I would take the Tonali deal all the time.

In that aspect we agree, but right now getting a good midfielder is something that is extremely difficult, those who are good already have teams for sure, now what remains is for Madrid to have a good midfielder at least for 2 or 3 seasons while another younger one comes out, with similar or better abilities, but Madrid if you look at it still does not have a good midfield, Fede no, Tchouameni neither, only Bernardo no, there is missing someone who is clear about the game plan and distribute game.

Como is currently formulating serious plans for the 2026–27 season. Fabregas has the full support of Como’s owners to ensure the club operates in line with his strategy, thereby helping the team achieve its vision.

Como and Dortmund are also currently exploring a loan agreement for Yan Couto. Previously, there had been talk of a possible agreement for the Dortmund defender's loan fee of €2 million. There's an extension option for around €20 million. They're just waiting for the signing to be finalized. The Brazilian defender is actually still quite young, currently around 24 years old. Como is currently preparing his team for the upcoming UCL, as the competition in the UCL is certainly much more competitive and intense.

Como

If we take Fabrizio Romano’s report at face value, there’s definitely reason to hope that Como can finish the season in a strong position.
In the Champions League, Como faces a tough challenge because every team competing in the Champions League isn’t just there to fill out the bracket—they’ve truly prepared themselves well. There, I don’t expect much from Fabregas in terms of leading Como all the way to the semifinals, but from what I’ve observed, Como can compete well into the knockout stage.
As for Serie A, Como can achieve a lot based on what they’ve done so far.

I, too, ask myself: "Why Trabzonspor?" After all, we at Beşiktaş had also made him a good offer.
I don't know what kind of offer Trabzonspor made or how they convinced him, but I can say they have achieved something major. They now possess a brand name like Salah.
They will generate significant revenue from shirt sales. Salah's arrival has also served to promote the city of Trabzon to the entire world.
Once his salary and bonuses are revealed, we will understand why he chose Trabzonspor over Beşiktaş. I wish Trabzonspor the best with this move.

The transfer has already been concluded, but am really disappointed in this move because this is not the type of team I expected a quality player like mo salah to move to, no disrespect to tranzaspor, but I think that their are much better teams in Turkey, US  or in Saudi Arabia that would still come for his signature, instead he is in a hurry to sign for a mid table team in Turkey.

 Though some folks will say that it might be the only offer that he had, that's why he accepted it, but even though that's the case, I believe that a better team would have still come along towards the end of the transfer market, than rushing to sign for a mediocre club.

[Lillominato89]

Personally, I don't really like Vinicius Jr. as a player. He's definitely a strong player, but not a truly top player. He's presumptuous in thinking he's the best. But honestly speaking, technically he leaves a lot to be desired. Real Madrid invested a lot in him, but it didn't quite pay off. and therefore Real Madrid is right to propose a contract that benefits them and not the player

I disagree on this where you said he is not a strong player, he is strong and he is not afraid to make entry through defenders, he doesn't take ball and run through the corners, he make sure he face any player that is defending and that is best confidence that Real Madrid has in him and speaking of loyalty, he is doing the best to himself, he want better that's why he is asking for more but at the same time he is nothing without Real Madrid if he decide to leave.

The Arsenal people are calling him to go, he can make it if he goes there but I'm very certain that his PR is going to go down to all time low. He is having the attention he is having now because he is still in Real Madrid, if he leaves he is not getting does deals that he thinks will be available in other places. More over, there are plenty of star players in Arsenal that are looking for opportunities too, they can't abandoned others and make him become their only face.

Maybe the translator didn't help me much in expressing myself, but I didn't say that Vinicius isn't a strong player, in fact I said that, but that I don't consider him an absolute top player. As a player he has many shortcomings, he often fakes non-existent fouls (everyone does it, not just him) and he always tries to make fun of his opponents by provoking them.
For me, a top player, in addition to being strong, must also be fair to his opponents.

If we look at it from that angle, I agree with you – he’s a very annoying and overbearing player.
But he’s a natural talent and has won numerous trophies with Real Madrid.
Of course, I’d never compare him to a Pelé or a Maradona, but he’s still one of the best players currently playing

[püsür]

Finally Mo Salah left the Reds as a free agent to join Trabzonspor, the club confirms agreement of 2 years, can Egyptian perform better than we saw him last season with Liverpool?

I don't think he will have a mentality to be competitive. He probably just wanted to get a big money before retirement. He will probably just perform mid. He is not going to be culturally shocked so much since egypt and turkey has so much in common. But if he choose the Trabzonspor, it is not for to win championships. Trabzonspor are set to pay 22–23 million euros to a player who, during his prime, earned a net annual salary of 11.4 million pounds (13.3 million euros) at Liverpool, winners of the Premier League and the Champions League, whilst he is now in a poor and past-his-prime phase of his career.

Lolz, there are some transfers you'd see and instead of being shocked, you won't know when you'd start laughing. Trabzonspor is a good team, last season they did brilliantly so with this addition, I feel it will help their wing and Mo Salah isn't a small name and with his experience, the club will benefit greatly from it. The crazy thing with these football transfers is that you'd least expect some moves players make.
