⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Agbamoni]

Arsenal have successfully secured their third signing, Bruno Guimarães, following the earlier signings of Christos Tzolis & Illan Meslier. Bruno Guimarães presence at Arsenal puts the players in his position at risk, one of the closest options is Zubimendi.

Zubimendi should immediately think about his career, It won't be easy being second choice at any team, it would be better for him to leave Arsenal & become a regular player for another club.

Lol, Bruno Guimaraes picks up unnecessary injuries and if we see that happening, Martin Zubimendi will most definitely come in to play his role or the young Lewis Skelly. Nothing is at risk, they can be rotated both in the Premier League Competition and also the Champions League competition. Martin Zubimendi although,  dropped form during the second half of the season. Where are you getting all these speculations from, Zubimendi has nothing to think about, in addition to what I said above, you need squad depth and this is exactly a good definition of squad depth. At the moment, he is currently happy and with no such plans to leave Arsenal.

Is any injury necessary for a football player? Bruno Guimaraes has been unlucky to pick up injuries at his other club, but that may not be the case at Arsenal. I know of some players with a long history of injuries, but after moving to a new club, their story changed. I believe Bruno Guimaraes will be more careful at Arsenal. Arsenal have several options in that midfield. It is in Arteta's hands to rotate the players very well to avoid fatigue or injury to one player.

For the last few seasons I agree with what you said but at the beginning of his arrival to Arsenal he was quite dangerous as a CF but this player lost his performance after an ACL injury which made his playing minutes drop dramatically and when he recovered he could not return to form.

29 years old and going to Napoli is not a bad thing because at the moment Napoli are still one of the big clubs there and I think this is the right decision for Gabrie Jesus. At Arsenal he will not get a big chance most likely only as a rotation player for Gyokeres and even then if Kai has problems. So instead of just sitting on the bench, Napoli can be a club that can be a destination, especially now that they still can't play Lukaku, which makes Gabriel have a greater chance to prove himself.

Gabriel Jesus certainly didn't have the best time iof his career since signing for Arsenal, he suffered alot of injuries, which dropped his form and Arteta lost confidence in him. Going to Napoli is a great opportunity for him to improve and return to his best form, he is still young though, so he will certainly be a starter there. Another club I will suggest he should go is Besiktas, they don't have much experienced strikers, this is an opportunity for him to prove himself, and he can easily link up with his former teammate Leandro Trossard.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Are you trying to doubt what had already been proven or you didn't watch their matches/ you just love to argue blindly, which one of them? 71 goals in a season doesn't convince you that they had a prolific attack?
How many of those were headed goals-- 17, meanwhile 57 was inside the box making it 80.3% of their league total. So tell me, did the defenders score 57 goals from inside their opponent box?

"Well, City had more goals than that", but they didn't win the trophy.

Unlike you, I watched the matches and at certain times, the likes of Gabriel Magalhães and Saliba had to save Arsenal by scoring goals via set pieces. That doesn't seem to be a team that has a "profilic attack"

The stats say everything. It's Arsenal's mean defense that saved them so much. Like I said, even Manchester United, which had a very bad beginning of the season, had 69 goals.
For comparison, here are the 25 topmost-scoring teams each season, and Arsenal's total number of EPL goals last season isn't even close ---> https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask/most-goals-scored-by-a-team-in-a-single-season-premier-league

Maybe you just don't know what "profilic attack" means

You have said that a hundred times already, so I'll assume you're a United or a City fan? Either way, you're just nonchalant about every other team.

Again, you have failed to prove how their defenders saved them by scoring majority of their goals--- You mentioned Gabriel Magalhães who only scored 3 goals in 32 appearances, and Saliba with just 1 goal in 31 appearances. Do you think 4 goals won them the trophy? Or you just hate to acknowledge the likes of Viktor Gyökeres, the highest goal scorer for the team with 14 EPL goals? Bukayo Saka? Eberechi Eze? That's unlikely to think of someone who claimed to watch every single match last season. Just chill out dude!

🚨🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool agree loan deal to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, HERE WE GO!

Verbal agreement club to club with Barça now approved by director Deco.

New centre back for #LFC with a surprise bomba.

Fellow Liverpool fans gather here immediately. Did you see this coming!!!

@LFC_Bitcoin, @Jostern.

This transfer was really quick and it's something I  did not see it coming, though with the departure of Konate, a solid replacement was needed to strengthen the defence once again. Araujo is a great player, and can play in different positions as we have seen on different occasions so this should be a really good addition to the team.

Liverpool has not being the best with their transfers this summer and that is quite unlikely. Mo Salah's position would need a solid replacement before the close of the transfer window, that should be the next push Liverpool would be chasing.

I guess it's not because of Konate only: let's not forget that Leoni spent a full year injured, so it's going take time for him to properly recover the speed and strength; then we have Virgil who is still probably Liverpool's best defender but he is already 35 years old, so they really needed some extra backup.

I wonder if they really Araujo or they simply got him because they could get him on loan, without actually purchasing the player.

Liverpool have always had this strategy of going for a player cover when they have a problem at defense, I can still remember some name, Steven Caulker, Manquillo, Ally Cissokho, Victor Moses, Ozan Kabak, Arthur Melo, Kolo Toure, and still numerous to mention, this players only played for one season, it never ended well for them they all had to leave after their loan expires, so I think he is just a cover till the future players comes back from injury, Liverpool must really have huge plans for Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, they’re the future of Liverpool defense, They will be given game time to showcase themselves, get matured and experience.

Araujo can revive his career at Liverpool, it’s totally a new chance and opportunity to redeem himself, his had a terrible season, and everyone thinks he is a bad player, he needs to be confident now, and command composure and confidence, he will get back on track if he does the right things in defense, and learn from Van Dijk, I think if he does perform well he might get something like a permanent move.

Players who have previously suffered injuries will be more cautious and fully focused on maintaining their health, because failing to do so could disrupt or even derail their careers.
Bruno Guimaraes has been a great signing by Arteta so far. As Arteta himself noted regarding the Guimaraes transfer, Guimaraes’ arrival at Arsenal will make it easier for Arteta to determine his midfield lineup. We project that Guimaraes will be a player who will greatly assist Odegaard in building attacks and stabilizing the rhythm of the game.

 At Napoli, he'll still have to compete for a starter cause they already have a young striker with potential but he'll easily move into the first team at Besiktas cause they lack a profile that could threaten his position but Napoli is in a more competitive league and better choice to go revive his form.

Arteta was smart about getting Guimaraes, he's a strong midfielder, who also defends well, having players with both attributes suits Arteta's game plans. He's a type of manager who needs players who attacks, and contributes in the backline to facilitate easy transitioning in games that requires his team to fully defend. In as much as he's deeply into building the midfield and strengthening his attack, Arteta's priority remains on building a stronger backline.

But no, don't think that, I'm not a United or City fan, they are two great teams and will be able to have their say. Especially City, United must become as great as they once were. Yes there are many strong players, i like Bukayo Saka he is strong and good at overcoming his opponents. Voktor Gyokeres is a very strong striker and can still improve.

Actually, Bruno Guimaraes can’t really be said to be prone to injuries, although, well, last season he did suffer a hamstring injury while playing for Newcastle. And actually, he’s quite physically strong, even though he has an aggressive playing style but I think his injury history is relatively light. So, yeah, at Arsenal he’ll definitely be able to stay fit and avoid injuries.  Although I still expect Arteta to rely on him heavily. Given his position in midfield, I think he’ll definitely be the player opponents foul the most. But so far, he’s only had two major injuries: one last season and one in the 2022–23 season. I think his physical durability is one of this player’s strengths.

In as much as he's deeply into building the midfield and strengthening his attack, Arteta's priority remains on building a stronger backline.

Guimaraes has Casemiro’s playing style but in a more agile version. In Arteta’s go-to formation during his time at Arsenal, Guimaraes would pair very well with Declan Rice. Odegaard would have the freedom to play as a number 10, moving freely to seek out and create scoring opportunities.
In the central midfield positions, Guimaraes and Rice will anchor the midfield, while the trio up front consists of Saka, Odegaard, and Martinelli. Meanwhile, Gyokeres could serve as the center forward, ready to receive passes from them. I can just imagine how the new season will kick off.

Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus is leaving his club. It is rumoured that Beşiktaş Istanbul are the frontrunners to sign him. I heard that the deal is said to be for four years, with an annual salary of 10 million euros. He previously played for the same team as Beşiktaş’s current manager, Italiano. In the past, his potential was considered very high – there were comparisons made between him and Haaland – but since moving to Juventus, his form has declined. The offer I heard that Beşiktaş is offering a salary two or three times higher than that of other European clubs. My opinion is that Vlahovic is keeping Beşiktaş waiting in the hope of receiving offers from the top five leagues or Champions League teams.

[Sarah Azhari]

Gabjes is washed and it's a bit surprise there is still a club that wants him. I meant he's not longer what he used to be, and he's often out of the pitch due to the injury. So the move make by Napoli seems a risky move. Unless, Arsenal will release him for cheap price.
But moving to the Napoli must become his best choice for now consider he can't follow the intense of EPL. So moving to the serie a is a must. However i'm wondering how much Arsenal will sell him. The last time Arsenal set £20m price for him, but it makes no sense for someone who often staying off the pitch. It makes sense if they decrease his price to be a bit lower than that.

Hope he will be completed this move because it's important for him to play in the less intense league such as serie a.

Gabriel Jesus needs to leave Arsenal if he wants to get playing time. It’s true that Jesus has a history of frequent injuries, but it seems that joining Napoli would be a good option for him because Serie A isn’t as physically demanding as the Premier League, which is what has caused Jesus to get injured so often at Arsenal. However, if Arsenal sets a price of £20 m for Jesus, I think that’s a reasonable price. It’s even on the cheap side. Although, to be honest, I’m not sure if Arsenal would actually set the price that cheap. But regardless of the price, until an official announcement is made, Jesus really does need to leave Arsenal to get playing time and regain his top form.

Dusan Vlahovic really cannot expect anything more from Juventus, so the best option is move to another club. Besiktas is not a bad club, even though it only plays in the Europa League the most important thing is that Vlahovic can still compete in European competitions. The Turkish league is currently in the spotlight due to the move of several top players to the league and Vlahovic needs to prove something.

When Gabriel Jesus was still playing for Man City, I think he was injured quite often. In fact, if I remember correctly, shortly after he joined Manchester City a few weeks or months (I can’t recall exactly) Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury and had to sit out for about a month. Later that same year, he suffered another injury that sidelined him for two months. If I’m not mistaken, that was in 2017.

And unfortunately, the same thing happened the following year, and the injuries he suffered were always different. So I feel that this player’s fitness hasn’t been as good as other players’ from the start. He has good playing ability, but his physical endurance isn’t as strong as other players’.

The same thing happened at Arsenal. And if he moves to Napoli, he might not suffer as many injuries again, since Serie A isn’t as physically demanding as the Premier League.

Yeah, he is to detect how they play, most importantly how they shape going forward. I had better look at him during the FIFA World Cup tournament. They will not struggle to win games when he is on the pitch for them, but they will in his absence. The Bruno Guimarães signature is a beautiful one amd myself as a Manchester united fan can see that quite well. I love to watch Arsenal and how they play, because they're obviously the best footballing club in the Premier League Competition at this very moment.
I think, they will both be rotated a lot, both Martin Zubimendi and Bruno Guimarães. If Zubimendi can get to full confidence, it should be a big boost for Mikel Arteta.

He's right that Arsenal don't have a prolific attack. They have a good attack, but you can't call it "prolific". Scoring 71 goals a season doesn't necessarily mean you have a prolific attack because all the players in various positions scored goals too. If you add all the goals of Arsenal's attacking players in the league, it makes up 37 goals. That is not the stats of a team that has a prolific attack. Eze is not an attacker, but if you include his 7 league goals in the attack, that would be a total of 44 goals scored by eight players. Surely, you cannot call that a prolific attack. In a prolific attack, 3 or 4 players should be able to score 44 league goals.

Arsenal's biggest strength is not their attack. At least that was how it was last season. Their defence was the best part of Arsenal last season, especially the first half of the season when they were in top form. They conceded very few goals. They were even a little bit defensive. They didn't attack much.
In fact, I can go out on a limb and say the least strongest part of Arsenal last season was the attack and that was not because they had bad players, but it was because of how they played. They focused more on defense than attack.

Gabriel Jesus  moving to Napoli will not give him more playing time if he is still being injured all the team, he is a good player but at this point it his career he's getting injured too often which may also affect him where he will be going next if the injury is not properly treated.
Serie A  is not a place where he will be relaxed he will still need to fight for the playing time and since Napoli are participating in different competitions apart from the league it's going to be a good moment for him to perform if he is fit and in good form.  Before Arsenal will do anything about his price then Napoli will have to show good interest for the player then they can begin the negotiation.

Napoli is interested in him and we will see their seriousness only if Lukaku is ready to leave the club because he will be a replacement for Lukaku. Of course, no club will keep a player that's prune to injury because it's gon be a set back for the team when they needed him most. Only a fit player can be given more playing time. He needs to always play safe.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Mikel Arteta have indeed made the best choice for Asernal ahead of the season and for the pre season friendly introduction of the new signing Bruno Guimaraes who is features in the Sunday match again this show that Asernal is not only ready for the premier league this season but also eyeing to accomplished what their missed in the just concluded championship final,. Two solids new players and amount £75 m for Gulmaraes from Newcastle United.

Bruno is another great addition to the club and when we talk about the midfield fire power I believe it will be stronger than the midfield we saw last season but another thing to consider will be injury, I'm saying this because Arsenal as a team are always unlucky when the season begins, it is either injury or suspension of any player that they need very well and the replacement will be another problem so the best thing to do is reserve either Rice or Bruno. What I said might not happen for Rice or Bruno to be unavailable at ones but it could happen, without Rice and Bruno I see Arsenal suffering, the best thing is for the other midfielders to upgrade themselves should incase they have such issues.

[Webutxo]

Sometimes what a player need is an environment with less tension to revive his form and career, the tension in the EPL is too much for a player that always get injured so it's a good decision for Arteta to sale him, it would be tough on Gabriel's ends cause Arsenal's like a family, he's been with them through thick and thin and leaving would be so heartbreaking.

 At Napoli, he'll still have to compete for a starter cause they already have a young striker with potential but he'll easily move into the first team at Besiktas cause they lack a profile that could threaten his position but Napoli is in a more competitive league and better choice to go revive his form.

The wages is making Arsenal to be anxious about his future, by next year a he will become a free player to another club. Arsenal are not even using him like the early days, now they are going to be paying his fees and some other benefits. The club is feeling the load on their chest that is why they want to drop him to the next club immediately but you can't say you know, he might become better and have good time of play if he finally leaves Arsenal.

For the record, Serial A is no longer a less tension environment, in the last 3-4 years Napoli has remain consistent with their performance and they don't settle for less. If Napoli is going to buy Gabriel then they are not keeping him like he was resting in Arsenal. In Napoli, they still have attacking problems which is why they want to hire him but they might have to deal with his consistent injuries, he will become a reliability if he is not careful with too much pressure.
