⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

Gyokeres seems feel so desperate because he never being a part of Arsenal's starting line up since the start of this season. Arteta always prefers to start Havertz instead of him, which is destroying his mentality. He rarely gets a lot of minutes to play, and he always becomes a substitutions only.

I think the growth about the gossip that says he's keen leaving from Arsenal to join another club makes sense. To be the best striker, what he needs is actual minutes on the pitch.

Leaving him at the bench is only destroying his career. I think Gyokeres has to think about that. He has to pick one between staying at one of big club in london or leaving for the better of his career.

I don't know the details, I can only speculate but the last good game I saw him play for Arsenal was the game against Atlético Madrid during the Champions League semi finals meeting.
I also feel like Mikel Arteta do not play to his strength alongside some of the players in the squad like Saka. I believe all of this will be made clear come January transfer window and we should be able to tell of Viktor Gyökeres would be ready to leave the club. I'm sure Arsenal are already monitoring two players who replaces Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

To be frank Gyokeres is not Premier League kind of striker,  he doesn't have the strength to withstand Premier League defenders,  he got no skills , no speed, and can't beat keeper one on one. He should leave Arsenal if possible,  beside Arsenal is not playing his kind for game, when he was in sporting they were feeding him with croses from the wing,  Arsenal like playing possession ball, that's why he has find so hard to adapt in the league.

This is still speculation, Arsenal might just keep him till the end of his contract, selling him now will cost Arsenal so much money. Arsenal still have to bring in new striker that will compete with him, by buying G.Jesus and G. Maltineli replacement in January time. Saka isn't in form ,you could see how they struggle against Nottingham forest. Arsenal have good defense and a great midfielders but poor attackers.

No matter how hard he works to improve his game, I seriously doubt that Jadon Sancho will ever return the level where he'll be compared the best players in the game at the moment like Lamine Yamal.

He can do well to return to playing good football again but he's gone past his prime, it'll take a miracle for him to enter that world class debate again.

He's currently 26, pretty young enough to be get himself in the news again but that I think will be as an average footballer. I'll like to see him do better than I predicted of him. But I doubt he would be able to do that.

Never ever would Sancho be able to compete with those guys. Sancho is a player who has one good week and three bad weeks, everyone talking about what a great talent he is. But the talk about him being a great talent has now been ongoing for almost a decade. It all began when he played quite well for Dortmund for some time, but he had all these bad performances in between. Competing with top scorers like Yamal, Mbappe or Raphinha menas having an impact almost every single game. Sancho never had that. In fact, he disappears from some games entirely, you would have to check the lineup whether he actually played or not...

[DanWalker]

I would have agreed that he would have much impact if he's playing at a more bigger team but I doubt he can do much at Getafe.

TBH, it would be foolish to completely write off any player.
The quality he displayed while playing for Borussia Dortmund doesn't just vanish overnight.
That said, you’re right, it will be quite difficult for him to dominate in La Liga the way top star at Real Madrid or Barcelona do.

After all, when playing for a club like Getafe, supporting cast around him isn't exactly on level of Mbappe or Yamal!
But if he can overcome his mental block and put in some hard work, I believe he could make solid contribution to team's attack.
Football history is full of example of player making comeback at this stage of their career!

All coaches have their best players, and remember, the Arsenal management wants Gyokeress not Arteta, and Arteta prefer to play Kai Havertz always ahead of Gyokeress because of the result Havertz bring, but I think everything will soon change because Havertz is t good enough for Arsenal also, and Gyokeress will soon have playing time.

Gyokeress as a player will definitely be weak, but he is been started in the Champions League, yet he has t scored a single goal, and Arteta is supporting him by giving him all sort of motivations for him to stay calm because I feel like it is the Arsenal’s system that didn’t favor him, they are used to playing with wingers, so strikers don’t have enough chances to score, that is why he is struggling at Arsenal, but if Arsenal get more wingers, he can score more goals if given playing time.

To be honest, I don't like Arteta's tactics and management very much. Although he is currently the most valuable and best coach in the Premier League, his tactics and management have many flaws. He is especially weak in building a balanced team and managing players properly. His team gives the most importance to the defensive players, the attack is very haphazard.

Viktor Gyökeres still has a long career ahead of him, if he doesn't get match time, it will definitely be negative for his career. It won't be surprising if he decides to transfer. Now let's see what changes we see in the Arsenal team in the winter transfer market. Arsenal really lack a striker now, which Arteta needs to fill. They are struggling to score goals now.

He was excellent during his time at Borussia Dortmund there were seasons where he recorded 20 goals and 19 assists, or 16 goals and 18 assists. He later transferred to Manchester United, and from that point on, his career began to decline. Perhaps if he had stayed in the Bundesliga, we would still be watching that same high-quality player today. Sometimes, the choices you make can lead to the end of your career. He is currently not with any team, and I think it’s fair to say that there are no longer any Premier League clubs that have faith in him.

Yes I am fully aware of that as a Dortmund fan But they gave him a second chance when he played for Dortmund again as a loan player and I can exactly remember how it was the same mess again, he arrived, played very well one game, next game messed up.

This is often a question that can't be answered retrospectively: should he have stayed in Dortmund and become a core player there? I think what hardly anyone can reject are offers like he got from Manchester United then. He is an English player, so home league was calling. Salary was probably through the roof, and the Premier League is the league pretty much every player wants to experience. I still think that there are examples when it would have been better for the player to just stay, keep developing and maybe wait a few more years.

Sancho needs a working system, he is not like Haaland. Haaland could play for Congo and still score goals, or for a weak team in the Premier League. But who would be so humble and reject a Manchester United offer at that age?

[Pi-network314159]

This is why this thread being called as transfer speculation. We have seen so many rumors in the past, but most of them were coming true.

Gyo's chance to leave is there, but it's not that big, at least not for this time, but don't know it later. I think his frustration may prevent him to improve. So i think it's not wrong to put the door to leave as one of his consideration for his future.

But i wonder how long until Arteta will give him a chance as starting line up. The better Arteta tries to start him to see whether he still has fire on himself.

I feel sad for him, he came to the premier league to play football and make a name too, Arsenal purchased him because of how he played for Sporting, scored goals from all areas he was the top player of his club. Arsenal purchased him and within few weeks he could not understand himself, a promising striker that could have been one of the best is currently struggling for game time. If I'm in his shoes, I will look for a way out because the coach doesn't have Gyokeres in his plains. Arsenal system of play  doesn't support him, you will notice the midfield hardly releases ball to him. I see Gyokeres like a Osimhen kind of player, give him the let him struggle with defenders for the ball, here in Arsenal his not even used, he should look for a way out of the club.

[KingsDen]

It appears that Alex Scott will leave Bournemouth in January ^[source] and that they value him at over £100M ^{[he's a great player, but if it weren't for his nationality, he would've cost way less]}.
^{- His injury record is somewhat concerning, but it appears that both Chelsea and Liverpool are seriously looking to sign him, and he suits both. Where do you guys think he'll end up?}

Alex Scott is a good and upcoming midfielder, his performance was good last season, and has been decent since the start of this season.
I think he will end up at Chelsea. Chelsea is currently in need of an Enzo Fernandez replacement, and Scott is just what they need. Chelsea earned a lot of money during the transfer market, so signing him for such amount shouldn't be a problem. And again, why he could go Chelsea is because most of his England teammates are there, so it won't be that hard for him to relate and adapt in the team.

Adam Wharton is another good upcoming midfielder, I don't think such quality player like him should still be at Crystal palace, or what do you think?.

I think Gyokeres is a very good goal scorer, and also a better stiker than Havertz, but Arteta prefers Havertz because he fits his style of play better. I also agree that Gyokeres needs more minutes to gain more confidence,  because I know the qualities he has, but not playing much might really affect his confidence. I really don't know how true this rumor is, but we can't rule out him leaving Arsenal,  but I believe it depends on if Arsenal gets a nother striker, because if he is sold without being replaced,  they will have oy one striker, which I think is not good for the team.

That is true relying on a single striker is a major risk if that player gets injured, there is no one to fill his spot. The transfer window has closed, and the next season is not far off. I do not believe the Swedish striker will leave the team during the mid-season transfer window, as clubs generally avoid making major signings at that time. Unless a significant replacement is brought in for Gyökeres, they will not allow him to leave.

A lot of positives to why Chelsea are going to get him maybe by January. Bournemouth decision to sell him now increases the chance of Chelsea signing him. I believe the price won't be a reason not to sign him, they will try to bargain a reasonable price to sign him as they've always done.
When the season started Chelsea struggled a lot after Enzo Fernandez left and the problem was the midfield but for now they managed to stabilize it with Caicedo and Henderson pairing. For now it's serving them but definitely not enough for the season. They need to add to the squad Incase of injuries or other reasons a player might be absent so that they don't suffer the way they did again.

Wharton is a talented kid that needs to be in a bigger team. Not sure Chelsea will go for him since they already have a target but we never can tell.

You are right. This is kind of giving me a feeling that Manchester United is highly unattractive to both players and managers now if you don’t want your career to be destabilized then don’t join Manchester United United at the point. I have my reasons for saying this. Sancho is probably one of the clear examples of how migrating to a wrong environment can generally make a difference to a player’s career including negatively affected the player’s performance and sought-afterness. When Sancho was in Dortmund he was very exceptional and Dortmund themselves recorded around 50 goals 64 assists I his first term. Although I am not saying his decision to have moved to United was the only cause because to be fair to the club, the player should also carry some responsibility of the complaint

To be honest, I don’t understand why Arteta chose Havertz over Gyokeres. After all , if you look at both players’ performances last season, Gyokeres seemed sharper than Havertz, who only scored seven goals all season. Meanwhile, Gyokeres managed to score 21 goals in his first season with Arsenal (he scored 15 in the league). So I can understand why Gyokeres is so frustrated at the moment , and I wouldn’t be surprised if he asks to be sold this January.

Gyokeres and Havertz have different playing styles, where Gyokeres certainly looks like a natural striker , whilst Havertz more often plays as a false nine. Is this the reason why Arteta prefers Havertz to Gyokeres as a starter? or could it be that Arsenal still harbour hopes of signing Julian Alvarez, which would mean they would indeed have to let Gyokeres go first?

Sometimes, players need a little patience if they are not getting the desired time to play, I also understand from Gyökeres own point of view, he is 28 years and currently at the peak of his age, if he gets older without having the desired minute, it becomes a real problem for his career, if he is about to move to a different club, there is always hunger for every player at his age to want time to perform.

Gyökeres has been going wild for his country during every international break, Arteta could feature him in his starting lineup in the next Premier League game if Havertz starts in the Champions League, Gyökeres is ready to play if he's given the opportunity, and I trust the player to perform as expected.

There could be reasons behind that, I mean it's Arteta, a very good coach, and I feel he knows what he is doing. With time we will get to know why he does it,

As for Gyokores, he is a good player and he does deserve more play time, but his not like vini that will always go against the coaches decisions, mayne probably important matches he will play

[Smack That Ace]

To be frank Gyokeres is not Premier League kind of striker,  he doesn't have the strength to withstand Premier League defenders,  he got no skills , no speed, and can't beat keeper one on one.

I believe that if he gets any opportunity, he can make good use of it.
However, maintaining same level of output in Premier League present different kind of challenge.
This is because factor like quality of defender, intensity of game and attacking system all play crucial role.

Indeed, in Arsenal’s possession based style of play, striker often find themselve in position where they have very little space to operate. But that is not to say that Gyokeres lacks strength, pace & finishing ability.
Question is, are Arsenal providing kind of service that would allow him to leverage his strength?
Or is he perhaps struggling to adapt to team’s style of play himself?
Furthermore it is difficult to gauge his consistency when he isn’t being given regular opportunity in starting XI.

I do think that you have asked a question and answer it yourself, the idea of Gyokeres and Havertz is that Arteta prioritize the playing pattern of not using a standing striker rather than a false nine who would bring other players into play and that’s why Harvetz has more playing time than Gyokeres this season.

The stats about Gyokeres having more goals last season than Kai Havertz is because the German was mostly out injured last season and Gyokeres was the starting striker then plus was on penalties too when Saka was out or even on the pitch. But since last season we all saw that Arteta did prefers Havertz over Victor Gyokeres even by starting him in the biggest matches of the season like the champions league final

[Ale88]

I tried to find the origin of this Sancho post but couldn't

I'm going to help you, here it is:

He'll literally go there and dominate in La Liga. Trust me when I say that the Spanish national league is for players like him who are great technically, he will most definitely dominate the Spanish league just the same way he dominated German Bundesliga during his time with Dortmund. He is that good. This move is just to showcase that he's still got it and it should most definitely lead to other deals out of Getafe.

I believe Sancho would be having regrets now why he didn't accept Chelsea's offer, it was the best team for him and they were willing to make his loan move permanent but he didn't want to settle for a pay cut and now she where it landed him. How would have been the one occupying Morgan Rodgers spot at Chelsea.

I don't think Chelsea would have been a good team for him, he's just not good enough. Many people said that Garnacho would have finally exploded after joining Chelsea, that it was all Manchester United's fault, etc etc, and what happened? Same disappointing performances. And now he's been loaned out to Aston Villa...
