⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[PVequalNRT]

Appealing for 602 euros is another level of stupidity. No doubt just after this news released, all of football fans in the world are laughing at them. However, i'm only wondering in how many installments they will pay the fine. If they really do appeal against this tiny fine that is nothing, i believe they're so desperate in the need of money.
Imagine a world class club struggle to pay 602 euros fees. It makes no sense.

Even if they're using reputation as an excuse, their reputation is already bad due to the Negreira's case. So they have only need to pay the fine and move on. Doing this stupid drama won't chance their stance if Atletico Madrid is in the right side.
They're trying to poach Alvarez, and it didn't work.

I don't think the fine appeal is about the pay, it's about reputation they are trying to keep. Paying the fine is admitting to guilty that they actually did it and Barcelona has said they have been in contact with Alvarez since his day one in Manchester City. They are not fighting to appeal, it's the allegations that was labeled against them they afr fighting for. It's possible that if they fight further, they can win and the case will he drop eventually.

The more I think about this case, the more I see it as retribution for trying to hijack Alvarez from Atletico Madrid than the contacts itself. I believe all players are getting contact from different clubs, they don't just tell their clubs and even the clubs knows about this.

Chelsea will play Man UTD next and the board have given Carrick another shot to remain as boss but I have the feeling that their patience will not run for a long time and if Chelsea manage to get all three points, it might help speed up their decision.

D match is not going to be easy for the two teams, we shouldn’t expect the match to be a easy win for Chelsea, and even if Chelsea end up winning the match, I don’t think it’s proper for Manchester United to sack Carrick. Lot’s of Manchester United fan’s are already requesting for his sack, and I feel Manchester United management might be considering that also, but it’s not going to be easy for Manchester United if they sack Carrick, they going to be making a wrong decision.

When Manchester United's management has sacked other coaches, they didn't make any wrong decisions. Why would sacking Carrick now make Manchester United make a wrong decision? I am asking because a team can't keep a coach who is not winning matches, no matter who they are.

You can tell me that Manchester United management wants Carrick to continue to be Manchester United coach. That's understandable, but not to see their decision to sack Carrick as the wrong one.

Names have already been discussed about potential replacement for Michael Carrick, if the bad result continues to come in then micheal Carrick will definitely be sacked. The match against Chelsea will have a huge say about if Carrick will still be in charge at Manchester United or not.

If Manchester United decides to end things with Michael Carrick today I don’t think anyone will say it a bad decision, infact over 90 percent of Manchester United fans are calling Carrick to be sacked. I don’t see Carrick ending this season at Manchester United as their head coach.

Leny Yoro and De Ligt are off course elite defenders,  don't you know? But sadly, you get this substandard performance when you play under a subpar manager who can not pair two great players together. I'm not here to convince you about Harry Maguire we all know he is never good enough to be a Manchester United defender, even Thomas Tuchel took someone else over himself during the fifa world cup tournament.

It is my own opinion that those two are elite, with the pace and everything needed in defenders to succeed. You just need a good manager yo bring out the genius in these two. The rest are either without mobility or not consistent.

I agree that De Ligt is an elite defender, he was good at Juventus and Bayern Munich, but he hasn't proven himself yet in United due to injuries. Adding Yoro to the list is what I won't agree. Have you watched United recent game against Bournemouth?, do you see how bad Yoro performed, he gave Bournemouth counter attack all the time. Yoro was part of the second 11 for Amorim, and Carrick is now using him because there's no other pacy defenders that can fit his tactics.

You cannot blame Carrick for an inconsistent defence like United, I mean, it is not the first time we've seen the defense perform this poor, other past managers have complained about the defence too. Ruben Amorim brought a decent tactics, but because the United defense was poor and couldn't fit the tactics, it didn't work and it cost him his job. Maguire is a good defender, but the problem is that he's inconsistent, and he's not that pacy, United don't need defenders like that. The United board should be the one to blame, for refusing to overhaul the defence and bring in stronger defenders.

This was exactly my thoughts when I saw Manchester United's next fixtures, even when they are at their worst, their performance against Chelsea was always intense and I would hope to see the same performance during the weekend. Michael Carrick looks like he has his mind made up to accept a sack letter soon enough, but that would take some time in my opinion.

The club needs a change of management to actually be at the top stage again, lately Manchester United are playing like the underdogs and that's disappointing. They have only one win in their last ten games, and that's something that shouldn't be happening at United.

The management of a club certainly starts from the head, the management in this case must be managed first and foremost by the club which must manage everyone and then possibly choose with the gaming model that the club wants and then go to selection, Carick i don't know if he is capable of managing this thing but why perhaps he wasn't given the right information.

There is nothing else to say since Manchester United decided to give Carrick another shot to prove himself, we are waiting to see what he will make of the game against Chelsea on Saturday, which might be his final straw if he doesn't win Chelsea.

The game will be tough, it's an away game for United, i will be confident and hopeful if was their home, at least with the home fans cheering, that would be motivation for the players and the team, but it seems to be the opposite, and they will be getting loud boos from the audience. Carrick needs to put his head together and fix his team, his contract with Manchester United is strictly on the line, only redemption can save him.

Kvarat's injury seems force PSG to sign a new forward, and they're eyeing Estevao for this. Estevao has been so talented but sadly he lacks of game time at his current club. He has a plan to leave from Chelsea to PSG as a loan until the end of season. Bro gets a golden opportunity to play in the best in the world right now.

He must not think for twice to go there, then get minutes under the best coach right now, then back with improved version to the Chelsea to fight for the main place in the squad. However, PSG may also sign him with very high fees if he is doing well there.

This is an opportunity that will never come for twice, i hope boy doesn't miss this by say YES. He's expected to go there in January window.

I can't wait to see how Enrique will coach him, then release his true potential.

I agree, the game will certainly not be an easy one for both teams. Chelsea might look stronger at the moment but we can't write Manchester United off because of how well they always play against Chelsea even during their struggling times so that's the reason why we can't write them off in this game.

About sacking Carrick, I think if he loses against Chelsea again then the chances of him losing his job increases and I won't be surprised if he gets sacked immediately. Sacking someone who isn't giving the desired results is not a wrong decision. He needs to show some improvements soon if he doesn't want to lose the job.

The game against Manchester united for Chelsea will be so intense, even when United performs poorly, against Chelsea the rivalry is real and this weekend will be no different.

This game shouldn't be tge deciding factor for Michael Carrick,  it's not like this fault is entirely his although he was tge one that put himself in such state, accepting a bad condition or decision, more signings are needed but are yet to be available.

[Homemade-IQ]

The game against Manchester united for Chelsea will be so intense, even when United performs poorly, against Chelsea the rivalry is real and this weekend will be no different.

What you said here is true, because I have seen it on countless occasions whereby Manchester United will be in a very bad form, but the moment they are up against Chelsea, it will be as if they will all die if they lose to Chelsea, so they will play and fight hard like their lives depends on it, so am expecting a very tense game between them, no matter the poor form of both teams.

Manchester United management and Carrick are the same thing. That’s why they will like Carrick to continue as the manager. Even the blind man can tell that Carrick is the one to build this team. The decision was clear that he would be sacked if they didn’t win against Bournemouth, after the game, everyone was expecting a big news from the club, after we saw he would be in charge in the next game against Chelsea. Carrick arrived last season with a promises to continue at high level in the following seasons. Conte is the right man to handle this team. Carrick have the grace of next week to make things right.

A single victory won’t set everything right. Even if they manage to win against Chelsea, any subsequent defeats would mean they’ve once again fallen short of the expected level of performance. The board clearly has a great deal of faith in Carrick the fact that they’ve decided to trust him for yet another match, despite so many poor results, makes that very apparent. The Chelsea game will be a big match but for Carrick, it will be an even bigger one.

Whoever that’s saying that sacking Michael Carrick was a wrong decision is an enemy of the club. I know a lot of rival clubs/fans wants to see man united continue the way they are, they want Carrick to remain as head coach to enable them count free 3 points whenever they meet man united but they seem to be disappointed right now that Carrick has been sacked and a new manager is coming which means that there’s going to be an improvement because man United always have that kind of improvement whenever a new manager comes in especially at this time of the season.

Don't you think that you are over reacting. We can agree and disagree, you can drop your opinion and others can do and it's not by force to accept one another opinion. Carrick has been a headache to everyone, most of the fans expected more than this, this is the least performance they wanted to see this season after the turnup, the hope and last finishing he did for the club. Also there are people that believes he is not the problem of the team, the collective players are not trying.

Everything about the team right now is mixed reactions, some people think he is performing this way because he didn't have much resources, enough money was not provided for him to sign players. Some people think he lacks the tactical way to put this team together into a better place. Everyone just with their opinion but I believe the club is going to decide what and that will be the final call.

Unless they secure a win against Chelsea, a managerial change at Manchester United appears imminent. For Carrick, this season has gotten off to a start that bears no resemblance to the last. Given their performance a year ago, much more was expected from Manchester United this time around, they are currently in such a poor state that it may take only one more match for the manager to be dismissed.

I'll love to know the three conditions Chelsea's giving them, so later I'll take my time to get more informations about the news, this is a big opportunity Estevao, if he can impress the management maybe the could consider signing him permanently, he's young, talented and have the potential of being a great player in future.
 Enrique knows how to handle his kind, see how he groomed young players like Mendez, desire and João Neves, he'll do same with Estevao and turn him into a potential world class baller, just that Chelsea might not want to sell him permanently if that happens.

I can't remember the last time Chelsea defeated Manchester United but I know it's been a long time since the London club picked a victory against the Manchester club.

At the moment, Chelsea seem to be the club with a better form and is being backed by many to win the game but considering what we've been seeing from Manchester United against Chelsea in recent years, I think it'll be difficult for Chelsea to get a victory so I'll be going for a draw prediction in that game.

Why is Xabi Alonso benching Estavao? Is he not good enough? We can clearly see that he's good enough and is enchanced with extraordinary qualities but Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso doesn't want to feature him in his starting XI let alone bring on in the second half. The Brazilian have being siting on the bench for long and we know players, when they perceive they're not iincluded in the project of these managers, they push for their exits from the club and go to where they will be able to play good football.

Chelsea is a big club and I've watched them perform, why on green planet earth Estavao is on the bench? Why? Why? Why? I love that player when it comes to 1V1 against his opposition. He has good sense of reasoning with the ball, he can shoot, he can dribble and be decisive in front of goal. Estavao will be looking to eoxlore in a other club if Xabi Alonso doesn't use him.

Barcelona have been fined €602 following Atlético Madrid's complaint to the RFEF regarding how the Julián Alvarez saga was handled.
The fine was imposed under Article 133 as failure to comply with orders, instructions, agreements, or regulatory obligations.

❗️ Barcelona plan to appeal, reports El chiringuito tv.
Fabrizio Romano

It seems that the rivalry between these clubs extends well beyond the pitch.

Appealing for 602 euros is another level of stupidity. No doubt just after this news released, all of football fans in the world are laughing at them. However, i'm only wondering in how many installments they will pay the fine. If they really do appeal against this tiny fine that is nothing, i believe they're so desperate in the need of money.

Even if they're using reputation as an excuse, their reputation is already bad due to the Negreira's case. So they have only need to pay the fine and move on. Doing this stupid drama won't chance their stance if Atletico Madrid is in the right side.
They're trying to poach Alvarez, and it didn't work.

Of course the reason for the appeal is not the (ridiculous) amount of money, it's because they want to set a precedent in their favor so in the future they'll be able to do it again. So winning the appeal would be very important for Barcelona. I have no idea how or why they think they are going to win because what they did what clearly wrong. No way to defend it.

What kind of fucking clown show is this? 602 euros? Do such figures even exist in a corporate environment? It’s as if someone committed an offense and was punished with a fine of 0.004 cents.

I totally agree. It's almost an insult for Atletico Madrid at this point.

Surely xabi alonso knows perfectly what he's doing, i don't think he's a player who doesn't deserve to be allowed to play, but let's say that as you say, the players eventually realize that they have to go somewhere else and they leave without causing too many problems, now i have to say that he would certainly do well to go and play elsewhere.
