⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SFR10]

Well they've realised their mistake and it's good they want to fix it fast before the club get into a worst situation.

I agree with everything else that you said, but I think they've still not learned from the mistakes that they've been making since the previous summer transfer window ^{[e.g., they didn't support Glasner by bringing the type of players that he wanted and I expect the same thing to happen to their next manager]} and on top of that, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of their important players leaving in the January transfer window ^{[e.g., Mateta is probably one of them and despite being under contract till June of next year, I think he'll force a move out of the club].}

And it could be that he at that time did not show his selfishness because there were still many senior players, while when the senior players had left he felt that he was the best. And in fact I also feel that his selfishness started to emerge at a time when the senior players were already leaving and Real Madrid considered him very valuable. I don't deny that he is a valuable player with a good game.

Such psychology can indeed arise when the player already feels himself big. I don't hate him, but I regret in some situations his selfishness has cost him and the team dearly.

It doesn't matter how good a player can be having such mindset and not delivering weeks in weeks out will only damage your career and that's exactly what happened to Vini. After some of the senior players left he felt to too big and pride came in, he regard himself as the best in the team because he played a good part in the team's champions league victory during Benzema time. Ever since Mbappe came to the team he feels his position as the best his threatened and the misunderstanding back then affected the team and the player himself. He is valuable but now that Diomande is doing really well he needs to improve his game to find a space back in the team.

No, you have to distinguish between thinking he is better than others and the demands placed on him. Since several senior players left, he has become the main player everyone relies on. He is expected to create chances for his teammates while also creating opportunities for himself. That's why I said he sometimes looks too individualistic.

We can look at Madrid's last Champions League win as an example. Mbappe hadn't joined yet, and they relied on Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo. Yet they still managed to win the UCL as well as domestic titles.

So, this perception that he is selfish may have started after Mbappe joined, making us judge Vinicius too harshly. In reality, Vinicius also creates plenty of chances for Mbappe.

Vinicius for me has always been very overrated. I've never been a fan of him because I find him very irritating because he spends more time complaining and crying rather than actually playing football. During the last seasons he basically did nothing, you can clearly see the difference between a real star like Mbappé and someone who only pretends to be one. If Diomandé keeps playing like he's doing there won't be any space for Vinicius in the starting eleven.

Perspective is everything maybe he is overrated,  but to some other folks. Maybe what you mean is that you don't like his character but I'm terms of work rate and putting in work on the pitch, you'd be looking stupid to some if you say that.

Oh, he's putting work on the pitch? Wow, that's unbelievable, I would never thought that somebody making 30 millions per year would actually run during a match! Maybe he even deserves a raise at this point, what do you think?

In the world currently, Vinicius Jr is top two left wingers who is tested and approved and the only person better than him should be the Georgian playing for PSG. You can say whatever you like, because you focused more on criticising him than watching him without hate or dislike. There'll always be space for him to play, every good team needs this exact type of healthy competition and even Jose Mourinho recognise that already.

So, in your opinion, based on what we've seen during the last few seasons, Vinicius is better than Raphinha? Are you serious? And I could also throw in Luis Diaz.

Vinicius for me has always been very overrated. I've never been a fan of him because I find him very irritating because he spends more time complaining and crying rather than actually playing football. During the last seasons he basically did nothing, you can clearly see the difference between a real star like Mbappé and someone who only pretends to be one. If Diomandé keeps playing like he's doing there won't be any space for Vinicius in the starting eleven.

Vinicius has always been a target of racist attacks. Do you expect him not to complain when he is attacked because of his color? I think he is brave to raise his voice against racism and seek severe sanctions against racists.

Just like other top players, he also complains about the referee's inability to protect talented players in La Liga. It's also not strange for players to ask for a pay rise and a better contract package.

A player who finished as a runner-up in the 2024 Ballon d'Or is not overrated. Although his quality is dropping this season, we all know that he can change games individually.

Please, cry me a river. People can't stand Vinicius because he always simulates, he always complains, and he is extremely unsportsmanlike player. The color of his skin has nothing to do with that because Real Madrid have plenty of black players and none of them has ever been targeted for that reason.

It doesn't matter how good a player can be having such mindset and not delivering weeks in weeks out will only damage your career and that's exactly what happened to Vini.

Ever since Mbappe came to the team he feels his position as the best his threatened and the misunderstanding back then affected the team and the player himself. He is valuable but now that Diomande is doing really well he needs to improve his game to find a space back in the team.

We should also consider what they did to him in 2024 Balon D'or. We know who deserved the Balon D'or but the decided to gave it to Mr. Humble Rodri, that outcome shock the world and I think that was when his under performance started. I still don't know the reason why they did him dirty, could be bacause of his behavior, I can't say for sure but that did affect him, he has not been his best since the Balon D'or was given to another player.

Who know if he doesn't want to play the loyal guy anymore that's why he is not coperating with Mbape. Remember he gave his best to Benzema 2023 and he won the Balon D'or in 2022. He decided to up for himself and deny him that precious thing he desire. So he doesn't feel the need to be loyal to anybody again. Even me I will feel insulted if I do that kind of support for a play and they out rank me.

If I were Vinicius I will leave Real Madrid. It’s easy to understand that when a man finds a new girlfriend, the old one don’t interest him anymore no matter her efforts. The more efforts she make to win him back irritates him and chase him away the more. Madrid fans has forgotten Vinicius was carrying Real Madrid on his shoulders, won them champions league on multiple occasions and the Laliga. Suddenly Mbappe who has been scoring useless goals that haven’t won the club any trophies since his arrival to the club is now the player that is being cherished by Madrid fans. I blame Vinicius for dedicating himself to Real Madrid. He would have left when Arsenal came calling last transfer window.

I blame Vinicius for dedicating himself to Real Madrid. He would have left when Arsenal came calling last transfer window.

Is Vinicius CR7? he didn't even do half of what CR7 did for Real Madrid when he was there, else why couldn't he win the Ballon d'Or i don't know if you're his fan but don't act like he's doing well this season and fans should appreciate him to poor form and the thrash football he's playing currently, with or without Vinicius Real Madrid would be okay.

Don't give the glory of Casemiro, Modric and Kroos to someone who couldn't carry the team when they left, those were the players amongst others that fought and sweated for Madrid not Vinicius Junior, he can leave if he wants cause him and his agents are bad eggs to the team currently.

[HajiBagi]

It would be a mistake to compare Vinicius to Yan Diomande just because he is having a bad season. Vinicius still remains more of a complete player over Diomande, because he is still young and shows a lot of signs for better improvement, you can't completely compare both of them based on current form.

Real Madrid will not find a player like Vinicius if they eventually sell him, the only problem he has is an attitude problem but that does not affect his performance. We would have to look out for his performance next season or before the season comes to an end, we could be seeing a Vinicius reborn again.

Vinicius is a good player, but he can sometimes be impulsive, the recent incident that resulted in him receiving a four match suspension shows that he can occasionally lose control of himself. That might be understandable if he lacked experience, but it's difficult to say that about Vinicius. Every player goes through difficult periods and dips in form. But Vinicius has shown over many seasons that he is a top class player who knows how to score goals. I don't think Real Madrid decided to extend his contract without a good reason.

Every player goes through difficult times but this Vinicius own is worse, his performance is worse than any wingers in the world currently and ge is the cause of what is happening in him, Vinicius has become one of the most lazy player in the world, he doesn’t want to track back when playing, he can not make a good pass at the right time, he can not even dribble, from the moment Mbape steps into Real Madrid Vini started feeling himself as an important player that can do anything he like and that is not a good thing for a good player.

Vinicius has spoiled his life by dating a woman who has four kids with four different men, he also got a chin to look good all because of a woman, if Vinicius did not do everything to get back to his form he will leave Real Madrid when he did not expect because Real Madrid will not want to keep him and be paying him a huge salary, Yan Diomande has already won the position Vinicius is playing and if Jose Mourinho wants to continue winning his games he need continue playing the players that are in good form, Vini performance since last two seasons is one of the reasons why Real Madrid haven’t won any trophy.

[Livingleged]

Vinícius Júnior should better seat up and build himself back to the Vinícius Júnior that nearly won the Balloon d'Or award because with the way Diomande is given assists and scoring goals for the Real Madrid team José Mourinho could prefer to start Diomande over Vinícius Júnior, and the only time Vinícius Júnior can start a match for Real Madrid could be when Diomande is injured, even some Real Madrid fans are calling for Vinícius Júnior to be sold.

I look at the Vinicius situation from a difference perspective. I don’t think he has lost his form but I see it as having him and kylian Mbappe at almost same top level will definitely bring one name down. which in this case Vinicius is the victim of the situation. When you have two top players that are on the same top level of performance and competing for individual awards from different clubs, it’s always better they remain in different club and don’t bring them together in same club because one name has to outshine the other. why fans appreciated  Yan Diomande right now is because there isn’t any comparison or competition between him and any other player in the Real Madrid team so he’s just playing his ball and delivering what he has to offer. However, He’s good and mourinho love players with that kind of energy I see him becoming a great player at the club and honestly Vinicius might end up leaving the club for another club.

[Floczy]

Vini is a player who has very good ability, I think we will agree with that. But as you said, Sometimes he makes controversies that end up harming him and harming the team. And even when his egotistical attitude starts to emerge it could mess up Real Madrid's game up front.

He should be able to do even better than what he is showing now, as long as he can behave more calmly and can suppress his ego. The reason that hinders his development in my opinion is himself, especially in matters of ego.

Have you ever watched Vinicius play when Benzema, Toni Kroos and Modric were still at Madrid? Back then, Vinicius actually looked very good because he didn't have as much pressure on him. Now, Madrid have lost all those legendary players, while Vinicius is still there. I don't think this necessarily means Vinicius is selfish. He just wants to show his best contribution to Real Madrid as one of the few players left from that era. That's why he sometimes comes across as too individualistic.

Does the contribution involve arrogance, attitude problems or selfishness?

You can be a good player, contribute to the team without showing these attributes. What mbappé contributes to the team is whey higher than his but you don't hear complains about him, so how then do you consider what vini does as contribution to Real Madrid?

[Silikiem]

Vinicius for me has always been very overrated. I've never been a fan of him because I find him very irritating because he spends more time complaining and crying rather than actually playing football. During the last seasons he basically did nothing, you can clearly see the difference between a real star like Mbappé and someone who only pretends to be one.

I blame Vinicius for dedicating himself to Real Madrid. He would have left when Arsenal came calling last transfer window.

Vinicius can still stay at the club and fight for his place, he’s a good player and good players don’t give up when the competition is high but instead they use that opportunity to remind the fans of what he’s capable of. Real Madrid have always had good players right from time especially in their attacks, I remember during the era of Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, these are world class players who have even performed better than Vinicius during their time but they still have to continue playing and fighting for the team even though C Ronaldo was taking much of the accolades but they didn’t let that bother them and they went on to winning multiple champions league titles. If Vinicius form has dropped and there’s another player who can still perform better and help the team win matches, then the coach will have no other option than to work with the in-form player because he also have his job to protect.

[Abu-Naim]

We should also consider what they did to him in 2024 Balon D'or. We know who deserved the Balon D'or but the decided to gave it to Mr. Humble Rodri, that outcome shock the world and I think that was when his under performance started. I still don't know the reason why they did him dirty, could be bacause of his behavior, I can't say for sure but that did affect him, he has not been his best since the Balon D'or was given to another player.

That year was terrible to him as a player, he did his best and actually deserves the award, but FIFA knows the reason but I don’t think there is any convincing reason to give the award to Rodri, and since that time, FIFA has been trying to regain back their credibility which was why they gave the award to Dembele last season, and now Harry Kane, but that can be the reason why Vinicius gave up with Real Madrid.

Who know if he doesn't want to play the loyal guy anymore that's why he is not coperating with Mbape. Remember he gave his best to Benzema 2023 and he won the Balon D'or in 2022. He decided to up for himself and deny him that precious thing he desire. So he doesn't feel the need to be loyal to anybody again. Even me I will feel insulted if I do that kind of support for a play and they out rank me.

Real Madrid fans knows the reason, they don’t like him in my opinion that is why he is probably playing just for money right now because if you remember the drama they did with him before signing contract extension, he was trying to let them know if they can’t pay as he wants, he would rather go to where he will be valued which is the truth.
I think he should have left before the beginning of this season when he had offers from teams like Arsenal, but right now, he will be expensive and I think he will remain in Madrid for sometimes.

[Btcdeybodi]

It doesn't matter how good a player can be having such mindset and not delivering weeks in weeks out will only damage your career and that's exactly what happened to Vini.

He is valuable but now that Diomande is doing really well he needs to improve his game to find a space back in the team.

Vinicius Jr made a mistake by still remaining in Real Madrid because he was neglected by the club after Kylian Mbappe came which is very wrong because he has been the major head in the team and has spent some numbers of years helping the team by delivering the best performances which stood him out as a likely Ballon d'Or winner if not that it was awarded to Rodri. I think it was after the Ballon d'Or loss that Vinicius Junior started being aggressive even though he was showing some attitude previously.

Vinicius has lost his spot to Yan Diomande and I don't think there's anything he can do to get back the love from fans anymore because they now prefer Diomande of which if they don't see him play they will question Jose Mourinho. Vinicius Jr has lost his focus while trying to fight equal right with Mbappe when his performance doesn't even equal his demands.

Arsene Wenger is considering standing to become the FIFA president. He wants to challenge  Gianni Infantino in the next election.

He will make a decision in the coming days with the deadline to decide on Wednesday 18th November.

Many journalist believe he has what it takes to become the next FIFA president. Stating he has passion for football and his decision making is influential.

[PhilosopherKing]

If Vinicius Junior has never been a good player in your eyes, then how did his market value reach 170 million in the 2023-24 season? He is certainly a great LWF, but sometimes he makes mistakes, but that should not make him a bad player.

Vinicius Junior is a regular player in a club like Real Madrid and all managers try to organize the team around him.

Vinicius Junior has been at Real Madrid for a long time and Real Madrid has had many manager changes, but his place in Real Madrid has not changed. You may be thinking that the manager will sell him or bench him due to his poor performance in some matches this season, then you are wrong. The manager will finish this season with him and Vinicius Junior knows how to return to good performance, it is only a matter of time before this Brazilian star makes a great comeback.

Oh my, I am sure as hell counting on that, if that will even be possible over the next few years. You even make it sound like Vinicius mistakes are one-off mistakes. Dude makes mistakes all the time, with his passes, his dribble, his shots, there is even nothing to hold and say that he is doing great at. If he continues like this, being benched is gonna be the least of his worries. As he is like this, no club will even be willing to sign him, seems he has even gone from bad to worse over time.

I tell my friends of how the dude could even be a clone for all we know. Could it be that this guy we are watching isn’t even the real person we knew.

Yeah I started having my doubt because of how man turned a different person entirely after he go and do that chin surgical operation.

This is quite a surprise but if he realises his intention then I will take this as an aside only because looking at the situation going on for this FIFA polemic the president now still looks strong as there is an awful lot of support especially for some slightly smaller countries but the majority of his votes are pretty good.
In addition, the new name Kozo Tashima also caught my attention, maybe most dont really know this name but for those who are in asia may hear more about his name especially he has also been on the FIFA Council long enough so that compared to Arsene Wenger I think this name deserves more attention.

Actually, I expect the current PSG president to nominate but in some of the statements that are already there now he does not seem to be interested in this kind of thing.

If Arsene Wenger contest against Gianni Infantin, I think he will be the only candidate they can compete with Gianni Infantin and he can win the election.
I just hope Arsene wenger win the election, he have experience as a players and more than two decades in charging Arsenal, he helps in building Arsenal team and he is a legendary coach that has raised so many young talent from scratch. I wish him all the best, I can’t wait for him to contest so that we can finally say goodbye to Gianni Infantin.

Gianni Infantino has compromised with a lot of FIFA policies just to generate more revenues and that has affected the quality of football to an extent. Many football fans across the globe will love an administrator who's managed football teams for a long time, and for someone like Arsene Wenger with firsthand knowledge of what I just stated, I think he stands a very good chance of winning ahead of Infantino

[Felicity_Tide]

I think it was after the Ballon d'Or loss that Vinicius Junior started being aggressive even though he was showing some attitude previously.

I don't see any mistake there. Real Madrid is just a club that players can barely say No to, and I believe Vini is just like every other play that would do anything to remain at the Club. And I don't think the player was neglected like you said... He was recently offered a new contract with the same pay as Mbappe, so I think they actually see him as an important asset just like Kylian. But unfortunately, his performance this season hasn't really improved much, and I actually think it's a good thing that all this happened while he's still at Madrid because had he moved to Arsenal, a lot of people would have easily blamed Arteta for the massive drop in his performance.

Vinicius has lost his spot to Yan Diomande and I don't think there's anything he can do to get back the love from fans anymore because they now prefer Diomande of which if they don't see him play they will question Jose Mourinho. Vinicius Jr has lost his focus while trying to fight equal right with Mbappe when his performance doesn't even equal his demands.

But the fans aren't the ones to select a starting lineup. Of course, Diomande is an incredible player, but truth is, Vini will always be a starter in most of their games.

What are you saying dude? Are you talking about which Arsenal winger? Please put some respect on Wenger's name. And it's not Infantin, he's Infantino.
FIFA is a joke lately, just like your post. If Wenger runs for presidency, I believe he can win and make some proper changes. No matter who will be the new president, they probably can't be any worse than Infantino. Also, I really don't like major rule changes in football. I hope they don't mess with the basic rules such as game time, throw ins and offsides.
