⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Livingleged]

Lmao, seems you were pissed because your favorite was not rated and I understand. I don't think the guy is respect like he deserves. The guy was the reason why Argentina had their 2022 world cup. If you removed Messi from the team, the next big guy in that team is Emiliano Martinez, he knows how to play mind games with players, bro knows how to make sure he played and toy with their emotions and forget what brings them to the match.

I don't know why the fee was that cheap for his release clause, he has done more than enough to be bought with that amount. Perhaps he wanted to leave the team to go elsewhere and I'm sure if Chelsea favour him, like finish at the top or the best win the league, his release clause will increase tremendously. I hope Xabi succeed in Chelsea, it will be the best of his career because the club has been on the decline for long.

No you must be joking about him right? You said Martinez is the next big guy in the Argentina squad after Messi, no I totally disagree, he’s got good defenders and that why it seems do to you. Why do you think there is this guy at Chelsea trying to force his move by all means just because he felt he’s too good to be playing for Chelsea. I’m sure you know who I’m talking about. He obviously considers him self as the second most important player in the Argentina squad after Messi. However, emiliano martinez is definitely better than Sanchez and that’s why we kind of want him. but personally I would have preferred a younger goalie like diago Costa, which Chelsea was link with previously that is way younger I think he should be around 26 year of age.

You also feel the fee is low? He’s a goalie and old, so you don’t expect more that we offered, it’s a good deal for both side because Brighton already made clear that he wasn’t going to be the first choice so it’s a fair game to be gotten for that amount bro it’s was just the best timing for him prove his still one of the best at the moment regardless of his age.

Worst transfer of the season.

Galatasaray reach agreement in principle to sign Rafael Leão.

Leão accepted Galatasaray better personal terms proposal today, after Aston Villa couldn't come up with a better terms proposal for the Portuguese winger.

AC Milan to receive package in excess of €45m with add-ons and sell-on clause also included.

What a disappointmentt. He went from rejected offers by EPL club to the play for Galatasaray. We can see how downgrade his quality is right now. He could leave from Milan when he was still at peak, and i believe he would get hundreds of chance to try on competitive club in the big league such as EPL.

Its also a huge lost for Milan because they could have sold him for more than a hundred million, then it's ended with 45m. I know they have 20% clause on him in this transfer, but it's not as big as if they sold him at peak.

What really happened to Rafael Leao in the last two seasons? He used to be one of the hottest properties in Italy and was tipped to go on and become one of the greatest wingers.

I'm surprised that in a very short period, he's now not getting the sort of attention he was initially getting. I'd love to see him succeed at  Galatasaray and begin to attract interests from the big clubs in Europe once again.

[len01]

It's fake news. Try to confirm your source. That is not the real David Ostein account. Atletico and Arsenal have agreed on a fee, but Alvarez has not agreed to go to Arsenal. He has made up his mind that it is Barcelona or nothing. From the reports, Atletico are trying to pressure him to sign with Arsenal, but he hasn't signed. What I'm sure of is that Atletico will not remain in Atletico by the end of the transfer window. His relationship with the club and fans is gone. His mind is also not in Atletico anymore. What I do not know is the club he would go to. I don't know if it would be Arsenal or Barcelona. It looks less likely to be Barcelona, but there is a chance for him.

Initially, I assumed that Alvarez would most likely want to stay until his contract expires and then leave as a free agent. That could have been one way for Alvarez to express his anger over not being allowed to join Barcelona. However, after checking when his contract actually expires, I had to abandon all of my initial assumptions.

This puts Alvarez in a difficult position because he actually does not want to join Arsenal, but he has no other choice but to accept Arsenal’s offer if he wants to leave Atletico Madrid, who have treated Alvarez poorly.

I used to like him very much, his speed and the way he take on players made me wish he was signed by the club am a fan of, but along the line his form started dropping and I don't even want him no more. Well some players improve when they go to a new environment so moving to Galatasaray might help him improve.
 He's just 27 years, so he's still very young and have enough time to improve back to the kind of player we know him for, i was even thinking an EPL club would come for him in this current window, I'm suprised that none went for him.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Regarding Alvarez, it’s public knowledge that he wants to join Barcelona but obviously the Atleti president has made it clear that won’t happen.

I wonder if his preference is to join Arsenal or stay with Atleti if they are the choices he has.

If he is determined not to go to Arsenal, then maybe he should stay at Atletico Madrid. If he stays at Atletico Madrid, then it is harmful for Madrid. Even in such a situation, Atletico Madrid cannot expect a better performance from Álvarez. Álvarez's relationship with the fans is over, even with the team. It is almost impossible for him to play for the team and the fans at the moment. If not in the current transfer window, then in the winter transfer window, they will be forced to sell Álvarez to Barcelona if Álvarez maintains a strong position.

I do not like to put pressure on a player's decision at all. Why are Atletico Madrid spending so much time on this player after all the drama? And ruining the dressing room atmosphere? They have done this before, they have not sold players to Real Madrid. Still, they can't win the title, not that sending Alvarez to Barcelona will stop them from winning the title. They're not even favourites to win the title anyway.

He had the opportunity of moving to a big club, Rafeo Leo was worth about €100 million, looking at what Galatasaray bought him for shows his market value has dropped, same with his performance.  Galatasaray didn't get him in his prime state, but he can be a good use for the club. These players are the players to make the Turkish League a lot more competitive, the Turkish League had amazing signings, and who wins the league becomes a good debate.

I think his preferred choice of club is Barcelona, and it's not a good idea if he is not allowed to leave Athletico Madrid for Barcelona as we can already see how frustrating the situation would turn out for both him and the club. So many players have experience such cases like this before and it really doesn't end well for the clubs because the players always have a great decline in their performance.

[Shineup]

Was it not the same way he was sold to Chelsea for that outrageous sum, i don't know how Chelsea became interested in signing a striker from Championship club Ipswich, Chelsea was already business concerned without looking out for what he would contribute to the team. Delap is currently the worst striker in the Premier League, 41 appearances for the club and 2 goals, only 1 in the Premier League.

Chelsea fans complained about Jackson, since he moved and when he came back, many fans will pick Jackson over Delap. The best decision was buying Joao Pedro from Brighton, that was the best signing from Chelsea last season, and he already showed it in the first game.

It must be said that Delap has actually always been surrounded by a team that has never produced much, at the wrong timing, in the sense that he found himself in the most confusing Chelsea team in recent years, with numerous manager changes. However this is no excuse to explain two goals in so many matches. However, an attacker receives opportunities and must also know how to exploit them.

In a nutshell Chelsea has bought some awful players, but truth be told Delap is the worst of them, like I couldn't believe he will be this awful with this Chelsea team, I was telling people the time they signed him, i was telling them that I actually saw not much potential in him, that the hype was too much on him, but because he was on fire in the preseason matches that same year, people were thinking I was only exaggerating, now I happens to be like I was all correct that time, but let's wait and see if he will improve this season anyways.

Why would you brand it the worse during this transfer window? The season even yet to be concluded and you're already making conclusions?

What I feel about this move is that, this move to Galatasaray is all about the money and not passionate.

I was in awe seeing the swift change. He was already saying yes to Aston Villa and the next yes to Galatasaray. For a minute, I was about doubting Fabrizio.

They need those funds, but I don't know who AC Milan brings in as a replacement for him.

I don't know why you think this is the worst transfer of the season, for me this is the best transfer Galatasaray has made in this transfer window. Rafael leao is a good winger, and Galatasaray has lacked a good LW for a long time, and finally Leao is here to occupy that position. Rafael leao will a big boost in Galatasaray's attack in the UCL alongside Oshimen, now Oshimen doesn't have to do the work all alone.

What a disappointment. He went from rejected offers by EPL club to the play for Galatasaray. We can see how downgrade his quality is right now. He could leave from Milan when he was still at peak, and i believe he would get hundreds of chance to try on competitive club in the big league such as EPL.

Being rejected by an EPL club doesn't make him downgrade, they are many players that are not in EPL but are still top players.  Galatasaray is also a big club which is still in UCL, so him moving to Galatasaray is not bad, atleast he has an opportunity to play in the UCL again after 2 seasons of missing out in AC Milan.

This puts Alvarez in a difficult position because he actually does not want to join Arsenal, but he has no other choice but to accept Arsenal’s offer if he wants to leave Atletico Madrid, who have treated Alvarez poorly.

The way I see it, Alvarez has a lot of power in the situation if he wants to use it. If Atletico doesn't sell him, he can stay and not play with his full mind or not play at all and use his depression as a reason. Atletico will still be forced to pay him, and they won't like to have a player who will be earning a lot of money and not play. They can threaten that they will keep him on the bench to rot, but in reality, they can't do that because they would lose. The more they don't play him, the more his value drops meanwhile, they would keep paying his salary.

The way I see it now, there is no way back for Alvarez and the fans. So even if he's not sold and with how he has been treated, he can't enjoy his time there anymore. I believe if he holds on, Atletico would be forced to sell him to Barcelona.

I see no reason why Atletico de Madrid board keep insisting that they don't want to sell him to Barcelona. It's as if Barcelona has offended them, for them to agree on the transfer. Alvarez has made his choice to play Barcelona, yet ATM board are insisting that he either choose to stay or go to Arsenal. To me, they are literally abusing the right of the players. My own issue with Alvarez on this case was that he played too nice , hadn't been he came out to the social media, and not show up to training at all , this would have been different. I saw something on X , that the only way Alvarez can go to Barcelona, if if he actually terminates his contract. I don't know how , it will be possible because he has huge release and the court would want Barcelona to pay huge amount go ATM in order for the contract to be fully terminated.

I think he has dropped form greatly when compared to two seasons ago, I complained the same time not too long ago, especially during the world cup, he didn't have much impact on the Portuguese team given how specially he has been placed. But coming to Galatasaray where he has the likes of Victor Osimhen who is on fire 🔥 when it comes to goal scoring, they also have a solid team, I think he will be bringing in his experience to improve the squad, they are strong contenders in the champions League, so they need him. It's a good move left alone with me.

Atletico Madrid will not want Alvarez to join Barcelona because they’re a big rival of them in the La Liga. I think he will have it more easier joining Arsenal than joining Barcelona. They are already making his life frustrating there at Madrid, and this to me is not right and they should also respect his decision that he wants to register and play for another team. If a player has shown dislike in continuing to play for a club, they should learn to accept and let the player be, let them not be part of making his career miserable for him. The transfer window is still open and there is still hope of him being transferred to another team before the transfer window closes, let’s hope that he makes the right choice.

[Webutxo]

That could have been one way for Alvarez to express his anger over not being allowed to join Barcelona. However, after checking when his contract actually expires, I had to abandon all of my initial assumptions.

That move is gong to take his career I'm telling you, he can't stay in Atletico Madrid for three years, the time is too long to take that kind of risk. Barcelona will not wait to get him for more 3 years to get him and if Alvarez does not do well in Atletico Madrid, there wouldn't be top tier team that will be interested in signing him, he will either go to a small club or retire, that's the worst step I think he will want to take pertaining to this his fight with Atletico Madrid.

This puts Alvarez in a difficult position because he actually does not want to join Arsenal, but he has no other choice but to accept Arsenal’s offer if he wants to leave Atletico Madrid, who have treated Alvarez poorly.

This fight he is doing, it's him that is going to lose. Barcelona are fighting because they know they caused this issues from the beginning, it will be unfair to let go of him. He has become a tool between clubs when he should be siding with Atletico Madrid, they made him come to the club and Barcelona saw him as potential. If Barcelona does not see him as potential when he was benched in Manchester City, they should not see that even now.

The transfer of star players between leading Spanish clubs never fails to brew strategic differences and rivalries in a region. A transfer to an English club leaves the chance of Atletico Madrid backfiring in the case of a direct threat on domestically league title.

Retaining a striker who has lost his head will translate to his market value and goal scoring performance only being worse off. Manoeuvrability in transfer deals must ensure that the career of the player is rescued in as smooth a manner as possible, with no need to have the negotiations extended with a lot of conflict.

It won't be easy and if the Red Devils can struggle to get a goal against Hull City a newly promoted side what is the assurance that they'd do well against Ipswich? The new guys was all in the pitch and nothing productive happened and Baleba has joined the club and he said he's happy, yes every new player will be happy to join a club like Manchester United but the real question is, will the club be where you'd excel? Will your presence at the club make them do well? He could be one of those players the fans will be worried about that he isn't playing to their expectations, it could happen because as we all know, Manchester United are on an unnecessary pressure, just 1 game and they look like it is their last game for the season, it will be hard for them but they shouldn't expect much from the new guy if not he'd make mistakes when he tries to please the fans and the boss.

The Red Devils are having difficulties, the players are not yet fit and it is showing. All the new players are playing but they still have to prove that they deserve to be in this prestigious team. Manchester United have been doing badly in recent years, we'll see if they can have a good season and stay at the top where they deserve.

There are no much competition in that squad from how it is which makes the players to feel relax and maybe play how they feel like but it won't make the team spirit to be as strong as the fans expect from them, their next game could be a starter for them since they messed up in their first game but I'm not backing them to even do well because when you praise the Red Devils they choose a particular week to spoil your heart and that is why supporting them is a problem I expect the fans to reconsider. Ipswich could be an easy game for Manchester United, they'd do everything possible to get back on track, like we all know, Manchester City won their last two games so Manchester United will try not to be laughed at for the second time.

Chelsea reach verbal agreement to sign Emiliano Martínez, HERE WE GO

Club to club agreement with Aston Villa on fee worth £7.5m for permanent move.



Chelsea is coming for the league.

Go move but Chelsea are coming for the league title is a ridiculous thing to say, sorry but is never happening even if they are 10pts away from lifting the title, it won't happen, with what I saw them play against Luton made me conclude that they are still going to be the same old Chelsea that we saw as of last season. They made a great choice in getting Martinez but the goal keep can only play his part and not do everything the other players are suppose to do, Chelsea still need a leader in that defense if not Martinez will be punished by his own teammates. The Blues are very good at convincing players to join them but they don't know how to put things in place that would make the player do very well and I'm beginning to doubt Alonso, something doesn't feels right at all.

I don't know man...

Everyone has their perspective, from what I have seen Chelsea is a team that can go for the title league.
Why are you doubting Alonso what did he do? Bro is just try to get a good team

But I do agree with you on the defence, Chelsea has to get a good defender, the one that will hold their defense well, not just any defender but an experienced defender, if they can I will they could go for my old man Walker just for this season, that is if he is fit enough...

Manoeuvrability in transfer deals must ensure that the career of the player is rescued in as smooth a manner as possible, with no need to have the negotiations extended with a lot of conflict.

The thing with this current situation of Alvarez has a lot to do about pride, Atletico Madrid already had the balls to tell Barcelona that they will never get the Argentine and in their own defense they said the earliest approach of Barcelona going through the player himself was insulting to the them and they don’t want to do business with Barcelona again and this is where the battle line was drawn. If Atletico Madrid had allowed the player to then later sign for Barcelona they would feel like a mockery.

I think Atletico Madrid are very well prepared to lose on this at the moment just to actually fulfill their pride because they don’t care and for Julian Alvarez I would always say that he picked the wrong timing for this fight because when most of this things happen it usually when players have a year left because this leaves the club without no time and leaving such player on the player means he goes for free later on. But Alvarez currently has more years on his contract which is not going to give him an advantage on this
