⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[fluffaloo]

The way the player accept Manchester City without considering higher or lower pay was because he wanted to leave Chelsea, that was the best option he has at that time and he make the move.

yes they didn't realize the potential of this player and only realized it later when the damage was already done, i believe that Manchester City has an infallible scouting system that allows them to have full awareness of what they do and always manages to find excellent players

I don't think Enzo Fernandez's behavior should surprise anyone because he did exactly the same thing with Benfica back in 2022/23, when he told the Portuguese club he didn't want to play anymore for them because he wanted to join Chelsea. And let's not forget Benfica had bought him only 6 months before. He has absolutely no attachment or respect for any club, I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years he'll break his relationship with City too because he'll want to join Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Enzo Fernandez is a player that doesn't even surprise me, he has incredible potential and i think that this year he will delight us with many plays of the higest quality, regarding attachment to clubs, flags no longer exist, these are all changes that can and must be made, clubs change like shirts and for the current times that's fine.

Despite AC Milan losing in the Europa League, Amorim is still one of the four undefeated coaches in Serie A, so I wouldn't refer to those results as bad ^{[I think their main objective for the season is to get back to the UCL and I genuinely believe he can achieve that with enough support in the January 2027 transfer window (there are still a few missing pieces)]}. FWIW, I'd like to see him stay at AC Milan and prove doubters wrong.

So far this Serie A season, Amorim has been viewed favorably as AC Milan’s coach. Of course, this is because the team has yet to lose in five matches, with three wins. The point gap with the team at the top of the standings isn’t that wide, so the race to catch up to the teams in first, second, and third place is still very much within reach.
I was disappointed when Amorim lost in the Europa League because he didn’t play players like Modric, Rabiot, and Pulisic.
With the win over Lecce, those three players proved that Amorim shouldn’t overlook them. I also hope he succeeds at AC Milan and proves the speculation about him wrong.

Real Madrid were actually in talks to sign Enzo but I think that deal did not pull off for certain reasons but it could be that he becomes a Real Madrid player in the future. Enzo is an excellent player, and was the best Chelsea midfielder as at the time, it was really foolish that Chelsea could not settle things with him.

Though Chelsea have a good replacement,  Morgan Rogers who have being the best signing for them this season. Enzo also scored his first goal at Manchester City against Sunderland, an extraordinary excellent free kick that could win the goal of the week.

Beautiful Propaganda about Ruben Amorim and his AC Milan side. He remains unbeaten with two points behind As Roma and Inter Milan.
That is not what we should be calling a bad start IMO. I also do not see such happening with  AC Milan. I say he will be the one to win them the Champions League competition and also the Seria A competition. The management of Ac Milan never said anything about not being satisfied with his unbeaten run in Seria A.

Antonio Conte being recycled in Seria A is way too much. ( Juventus  to Inter Milan, and to Napoli ). He won't be joining AC Milan trust me.

AC Milan's top hierarchy should be concerned about the slow start of the team. Ruben Amorim has added players like Gonçalo Ramos, Diego Moreira, Mario Gila and Omari Hutchison to the club, but this has not been reflected in their performance. There is also speculation that the top brass of the club is concerned that the former Manchester United coach is unwilling to change his traditional 3-4-3 formation.

I have never been a fan of Antonio Conte. His open criticism of players and club management is a behavior I am not comfortable with. I think Amorim would be given more time because some of the players he got have not fully blended with other players.

Had Enzo Fernandez stayed at Chelsea, he might well have become a club legend much like Frank Lampard and John Terry but his decision to leave for Manchester City effectively made him no different from any other player. Enzo not loyal he moved to City undoubtedly because of the money on offer. It is truly unfortunate and Chelsea fans are understandably disappointed by his departure this season, especially given the significant playing time he enjoyed at the club and the fact that he often served as vice captain when Reece James was unavailable. His move to Manchester City has been a major letdown for the fans.

He transferred to one of their biggest rivals, but the player's perspective is understandable. Chelsea has recently been more of a mid-table team than a successful one, and Enzo Fernandez was undoubtedly their best player. The lack of similar performance from other players must have dampened his motivation. So he transferred to Manchester City, believing he could achieve success there. At least he brought in some good revenue for the team. Therefore, it's not fair to blame him.

I don't know why I have the feeling that Antonio Conte might end up being Juventus manager. Reason Spalleti hasn't been impressive, and Juventus board will surely be preparing to employ Conte based on his experience. Then when Spalleti probably gets sacked he might also end up in Atalanta or replacing Allegris Napoli.

The top clubs in Series A keeps recycling manager eveytime, and it's concerning. The state of the league is poor, which is also affecting their National team. The top clubs needs to bring in new managers with new idea or tactics. Just like with the way Ac Milan employed Ruben Amorim. Serie A now looks like a mid league, there's no joy whenever I am watching their football.

The management might knows the potential of the player, but they are doing business in the club, they are after the money they will make for themselves, they don’t care about the future if the club which is why Chelsea has been struggling for long, and the player also wanted a better team because he knew that Chelsea management wasn’t serious to sign more players then, and a player of his status in a club that is finishing below top six is not fine by him, and Manchester City is a top club that are always title contenders every season, he chose his future over staying at Chelsea, and it looks like he made the right choice for himself.

Of course, at City he will have much more opportunity to fight for trophies than he did at Chelsea. Even now, with Alonso arriving at Chelsea and the team looking better, I still think City have far more chances to compete with Arsenal for the Premier League title and perhaps even try to win the Champions League again.

He will definitely not ruin his career by making emotional decisions. Chelsea have been struggling for the last few seasons due to poor performances, never having a good coach and never having good players. There is no significant step from the management. Last season was very bad, they could not even qualify for any European competition.
So such a team is not a suitable place for a star player like Enzo Fernandez. He is a talented player with great potential. For him, joining a top team like Manchester City was a good decision.

Manchester City are already the team in competition with Arsenal for the Premier League title this season but on the Champions League level I do not think that Manchester City are on the level of Arsenal even though the Manchester City coach has a record of doing well in European competitions. I just feel the level of players he has currently and not well mentally developed to be able to play in Champions League games against the tougher teams because even again some teams in the Premier League we see Manchester City struggle to win and even crumble under the pressure. All the experienced players in Manchester City that have played in the Champions League multiple times to have confidence again to play have mostly left Manchester City to other clubs.

I don't think Chelsea actually had a choice because Enzo Fernandez wanted to leave the club. He is 25 years old, he is in his prime, and with Chelsea he wasn't going nowhere because the team is a mess, the management is mess. They keep buying and selling 30-40 players each season, they change 2-3 coaches per year, there is no planning, they keep making the same mistakes. It's no surprise a player like Fernandez chose to leave.

I’ve always known Chelsea will have a lot of issue getting back on track since they started changing managers aand buying so much players, didn’t know they were selling so much as well..

I heard they posted a picture of his celebration and eventually deleted later because of England supporters, they also deleted the post about him reaching the finals. Still don’t understand why.. he’s a Chelsea player so there’s nothing wrong with it .

I guess that’s why he really wanted to go to Spain initially..

I don't think like you do because Manchester City is still a team made up of very experienced and strong players. They can do well in the Champions League as well. I think this defeat Arsenal suffered in the Premier League was an exception and we probably won't see it repeated. Manchester City is probably the happiest about Arsenal's newfound strength and they will use this advantage. I think their squad quality is still top-notch and Manchester City is still one of the most dangerous teams in the Champions League.

Following the bad results achieved by Amorim in AC Milan. It looks like Milan's management is not satisfied with it and they may be looking for a new name to handle the club. Conte who being jobless after he decided to resign from Napoli is now becoming Milan's potential target to coach the club.

However, i don't think they will sack Amorim soon. They may be giving Amorim longer time to prove the worthyness of himself. I think that's fair consider no good team build in one night.

So they shall have more patience on Amorim, but sack him only if he still doesn't meet thier expectation, then they have to sack him then again bring Conte in to retain their competitiveness.

Will you guys like to see Amorim to stay or him to be replaced by Conte?

Actually i feel that 3 wins and 2 draws for Milan is not a bad thing for now, especially by seeing the point gap that only leaves 2 points from the top of the standings, the management should be more restrained.

Nothing is instant when it comes to a club transition and although I don't like Amorim very much but I think he should be given more opportunities at the moment.
Milan still have never felt defeat in domestic competition even though 2 draws are still always used as a benchmark for failure at this time. I think it would be much better for Milan to be prepared with its financial cash because it is much better for now especially with almost all serie A clubs having problems with their financial clubs.

AC Milan mind have not been made up yet completely about sacking Amorim so they might not get too serious yet on Antonio Conte even if the rumor is pointing at AC Milan interest on him, actually even if we were saying that Amorim is a terrible coach but he haven't lost any match on the league apart from there Europa first match, perhaps that's why they will not just sack him yet. Manchester United will also not going to get Antonio Conte at the moment because is the same similar situation of AC Milan they also have with their coach, so perhaps if Juventus is determine to sign him they would definitely do it.

If Enzo was still at Chelsea he does still have a chance to get a trophy, I have a strong belief that Chelsea wouldn't have face these few losses if the young Star was still with the team under xabi Alonso,
This coach has changed the game for Chelsea, they are more better and the team has more potentials under him, but since he wants to leave the team there is no need holding him back, and I hope he gets the trophy he desires under Manchester City. The league is still at the starting point let's still hold on and see who will take the leader board on the title race..

Let’s see how Manchester city perform under Maresca. They started the season so well, they currently at the top of the table, and they haven’t lost any match this season, let’s wait and see if they will be able to maintain their good performance until the end of the season.

Manchester city is no longer under pep Guardiola which guarantees trophies, Enzo Maresca is a different person, and I don’t know if Manchester City will be able to win trophies under him also. Chelsea are currently not at their best performance, but with the kind of coach Chelsea is having, and how he has performed so far, am sure Alonso should be able to perform well at Chelsea, but Chelsea management should give him time, he will have to build the team gradually.

Enzo was Chelsea manager for over 3 years and his contribution was satisfactory. It is only a matter of imagination how much better he could have taken the team if he had been in charge of the team. The team management has hired the best Xabi Alonso and the team is playing fairly well. The attacking players have improved wonderfully under him this season. The weak point of the team is that the defense needs to be improved to be able to achieve good results. Chelsea have been fighting against strong teams since the beginning of the tournament. The match against Brentford was a bad time for Chelsea as they had to concede 3 goals in the match. Enzo Maresca has been having a great time at Manchester City since the beginning of the season and the team is currently at the top of the points table which is a threat to Arsenal.

yes they didn't realize the potential of this player and only realized it later when the damage was already done, i believe that Manchester City has an infallible scouting system that allows them to have full awareness of what they do and always manages to find excellent players

Enzo Fernandez leaving Chelsea is nit something anyone ought to see as our fault in this current time.

Yes management has failed consecutively and he wanted to leave, I don't blame him neither will I say I blame my team for selling.

Chelsea don't withhold players against their will and that's commendable for us, it is just that we didn't plan well and we are going to suffer from it until the next transfer window.
