⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Homemade-IQ]

Tottenham Hotspur are considering signing Antonio Rüdiger on a free transfer next summer if he leaves Real Madrid. The 33-year-old’s contract runs until 2027, with an option to extend it for another year. I don’t think Real Madrid will renew his contract. Saudi Arabian clubs also seem to be interested in almost every player who leaves Real Madrid.

Personally, I’m not sure this would be such a good signing for Tottenham. They should focus on building a younger, more dynamic squad instead.

It will be a very good addition to their squad, because he is   going to improve their backline, but I don't think that rudiger will consider going to Tottenham that is in disarray, and also considering his ties with Chelsea.

Additionally, if he leaves real madrid, then the next contract will be his final contract, so I don't think that he would want to go to Tottenham when their would be better offers in the Saudi pro league or somewhere else where he will be paid a much better weekly package than what Tottenham got to offer.

I really don't agree with you, because I still strongly believe that Gyokeres is an elite striker,  but it's just that Arsenal does not play to his strength that's why he is having problem at Arsenal. I can agree that Havertz is mediocre, because he is not even a striker at the first place, but Gyokeres is an out to out striker and he is really good at goal scoring. Before we begin to complain about Gyokeres we need to ask ourselves how many chances does he miss, and if we want to be truthful to ourselves is not much and that because he does not get a lot of chances and that's all balls down to the fact that the team does not play to strength.

It's difficult for Arsenal to find a balance with a player like that, i don't think you can rely on Havertz much, but Gyokeres can be the solution to this problem, i also think this way, and you have to expect more actions to make him score, if they don't put him in a position to do so, it will be difficult for him to do so.

Rudiger is a family guy who is used to Europe, played for 5 years in the premier league, so moving his family down to Saudi would cost him more efforts than getting a deal in England would, he'd have enough playing time, and his family won't have to go through the environmental labor of adjusting to a new culture.

Coaches take the first blame when the team is not performing well. Manchester United's bad performance may not be a coaching problem, from the look of things and how many managers have come and gone, we cannot agree that Carrick is the actual problem, both from the management down to the players are all part of the reason why Manchester United are failing to be productive.

Many people do not realize how much pressure and blame the coaches have to take when the club is not doing well. For Manchester united, the previous coaches have all identified that Manchester united have a management issue and a change of coach is not what they need to fix that, Carrick is currently facing that right now.

The players are also a part of the problem too, when Amorim was the coach, it was clear that he had a plan but the players made him look clueless and unprofessional until his sack. This happens with every new managers on their second season, so it's definitely not a manager problem.

Guys, let's put aside who's to blame for a moment and look back at the glory days of Man United. Back then, United seemed to have a clear purpose and a very strong foundation. Every position had players who knew exactly what they were doing and could carry out the manager's tactics effectively.

Now look at the team today. What is the foundation of Man United right now? Is it Bruno Fernandes? Or Maguire? Who are their right and left backs? And finally, who is the midfielder capable of controlling the balance between attack and defense?

The point is, Man United seem to have no clear direction and no real identity. That's the real problem.

Are Spurs running out of money? Honestly, it's waste of money signing someone who is washed and injury prone. It makes more sense to sign experience, young and healthy player instead of Rudiger. However, Spurs is a transforming as a team that is always keen to collect washed player.
If they do it, i won't doubt they will always be at the bottom of table in any season. The better they go to Van Hecke instead of Rudiger, which have only a few years remaining to play in the top competitions.

If Arsenal sends Viktor Gyokeres away during the winter transfer window, they'll likely not be able to recover from what will become of the deal. The Viktor Gyokeres I saw with Sweden during the international break still have the ability to return to the best form that made Arsenal sign him from Sporting.

I'm surprised that Arsenal manager has decided to not give him a chance to prove himself especially in the English Premier League. But whatever be the case, I support that he leaves the club in January.

Why are we sounding like Viktor Gyökeres is such a terrible CF. I don't concord with this statistics because the player in question is very aggressive with the ball, he bullied defenders and I've watched him play in Sporting CP and also for his country, Sweden. He scored goals and find his name on the scoresheet but for Arsenal, he's nowhere to be found. Gunners saying he's not the favorite CF for Mikel Arteta who prioritized Kai Havertz. This illustration seems too good to be true because in every game, Mikel Arteta will have fully fit Viktor on bench and decides to bring on Merino who have been phenomenal in the attacking line.

January transfer window, Viktor Gyökeres might exits Emirate stadium since he's not having full playing time under Mikel Arteta. Do you think he needs to improve? Or there's groundly nothing he can do under Mikel Arteta to give him playing time.

I think we need to find some balance (and logic) here: Gyökeres highly under performed, that is a fact, we can't say his first season was satisfying because he arrived with great hype and hopes, buy he didn't score that many goals. At the same time he moved to a way more competitive club and league, and new country of course, so it takes time to adjust, that why I think it would be a stupid move to get rid of him in January.

It seems that Tottenham prefer free transfers this time around. If you check their current squad, I’m very sure they signed like three players on a free transfer in last summer. Don’t you think they are still struggling with their performance for the free players they signed? I’m also aware of the money they spent on players, the results we are seeing are not good with the money they spend on players.

Rüdiger is one of the best defenders in Real Madrid currently, even with his age, he bench some young players in the squad. Real Madrid may give him another chance to stay for another year, if they don’t find any replacement for him. Real Madrid need a strong defender that can replace Rudiger in that position.

Has he not won everything with Real Madrid already?! Then it is time to make the switch and move if he has. But considering the fact that he was a staunch blue and player, do you think he'd want to play for Tottenham Hotspur as a result of the rivalry? Bringing in Hjusien and this other guy from Liverpool shows they're building something new, it is obviously time for him to leave the club. But then, there's this understanding between the defenders used in the game today. I know they need depth and even if he gets signed, he wouldn't be jumping straight into the first eleven. They need experience players as thry build with young players as well.

Rudiger is still a good player and I think it will be a good player for Chelsea. I understand when you said they need to build with young players, but you also need experience to balance the team. I really don't know much about this rumour,  but like I said it's going to be a good signing for Tottenham. They already have good squad, but I understand that they need sometime to start playing well. They won Chelsea today which makes it two straight wins in a row for them.

Sorry but this is his second year at Arsenal. In his first year, I’ll kind of let the excuse slide (though a top player should be able to adapt in just a few months) but in his second year now things have to be going well.

Last year he scored 14 goals in 36 games and this year he scored 0 goals in 5 games! In my opinion, he’s clearly been a bad signifikante and if Arsenal had another strong striker instead of him, they’d be much more effective.

Tottehem Hotspur are still planning on adding more players to the current squad? Roberto de Zerbi is cooking with this team, all he needs is time to explore his project at Tottehem Hotspur. When he came last season, he was underrated and criticized as other manager that will ruin the club but he helped the club. And save them from relegation. This season they were struggling but they've manage to find their feet and they're back to winning ways.

Rudiger is a family guy who is used to Europe, played for 5 years in the premier league, so moving his family down to Saudi would cost him more efforts than getting a deal in England would, he'd have enough playing time, and his family won't have to go through the environmental labor of adjusting to a new culture.

This is absolutely true. Players put their families into consideration when looking out for the next bus stop in regards to their football career. They are also human and also deserve to spend quality time with their families. So if the speculation about him moving to spurs is true, I think he will definitely prefer to move there with his family since he was previously at London and he’s already familiar with the country than chasing money at Saudi pro league.
But I don’t think the culture would’ve been a problem for him or his fam if he eventually moves to Saudi since he already have Islamic background that would also be easy to mingle around too.

If he could move his fanily from England to Spain then why would moving them to a country who's religion is in connection with his religious beliefs? It would be more easier to adjust to the culture of the Saudi. Moreover he'll have more money to settle the needs of his family if he moves to Saudi.

Although London is an environment he's used to so going back there won't be new. Tottenham is not a team that regularly qualifies for the Champions League, they nearly got relegated last season and are trying to build a team that would be competitive in the league but if they can qualify for the Champions League it could convince Rudiger to sign for them.

Getting Antonio Rudiger will solve a lot of defensive problems for Tottenham. They already have good defenders but they seem to be lacking that leadership figure in their defense and that's where Rudiger comes in.

But the question is, will Real Madrid want to let go of the German international who though might not be a regular but is a very crucial member of the team? Tottenham is improving and has won their last two league games, we'll see what happens in the coming weeks.

Gyokeres is not really the solution here except maybe they are trying to give him a second chance because I don't see him as reliable though he is a proper nine but the responsibility or expectations from him by Gunners is too high for him and so it's more difficult to actually hit that.

Havertz in the other hand is someone they have been more patient with and his growth can be seen but regardless as long as Kai keep getting crucial goals for the team, it will be hard for someone to take his place as it stands now.

I understand this is his second year but sometimes some players need time to adjust. Personally I don't trust strikers coming from the Portuguese league because their defenses are bad, and if you play for one of the big 3 (Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisboa) then it's kind of easy to score a lot of goals.
I always said that Arsenal paid too much money for him but they were desperately look for a striker, and usually Portuguese clubs are difficult to deal with, they always want a lot of money for their players.
I don't think Gyökeres will improve his performances but, as I said, getting rid of him in January makes little sense.

Are the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and even Barcelona who recently or usually get free transfer players now also broke because I don’t understand. Yes Rudiger has had some bad periods at Real Madrid due to injuries but he wasn’t having a career of injury and at Chelsea I do think that everyone saw what he could in top matches same as also Real Madrid where he was once unplayable. I do not see anything bad about Tottenham Hotspur adding such experience as Rudiger to their defense line after they had signed all the current young players they have without much of a difference.

Rudiger is a family guy who is used to Europe, played for 5 years in the premier league, so moving his family down to Saudi would cost him more efforts than getting a deal in England would, he'd have enough playing time, and his family won't have to go through the environmental labor of adjusting to a new culture.

This isn’t a worthy excuse if you ask me, If players like Cristiano Ronaldo could move their family over there then the likes of Rudiger will gladly do that if they get good pay plus I need not to remember you that this same Rudiger and his family are Muslims and you know how dear they love the Saudi Arabia so it will even be a privilege to go there for Rudiger and his family according to their beliefs

Rudiger has played at the highest level of football and he has won the highest trophy in terms of club level, which is the Champions League, so if it happens that Real Madrid didn't renew the contract of Rudiger no one knows where he will be heading to, he can decide to play for money if he leaves Real Madrid, Saudi Pro League or Major League soccer is the best league for him to earn good money at his age, and for his wife, he can make her understand why he needs to play in the Saudi Pro League or Major League soccer.

Rüdiger has long been a high-quality defender for top tier football clubs. Perhaps, as he nears the end of his career, he might choose to return to Germany to finish his playing days in his home country. Alternatively, if his goal is to max his earnings, he could move to Turkey or Saudi Arabia. While Saudi Arabia offers higher financial rewards than Turkey, some players avoid it due to its distance from Europe Mohamed Salah being a recent example. I believe it is quite possible that we could see Rüdiger in Turkey.

This season they were struggling but they've manage to find their feet and they're back to winning ways.

I knew that Tottenham Hotspur will definitely hit the ground running this season, but it was just a matter of time because the higher numbers of players signed disrupt the rhythm of the team, so they need more time to blend with each other, and with their performance yesterday against Chelsea, I was convinced that they have started to click. So if they can continue like this, they might finish in the top halve of the table, not a few meters above the relegation zone like in the past two seasons.
