⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Zaguru12]

I see that news already published, but i'd rather wait for the more reliable news outlet to publish it. PSG might be interesting on him, but who knows it's fake news created to get the traffic. I remember Arda has desire to stay at Madrid, but moving to the club with masterclass coach like Enrique is something that is hard to reject.

If he goes there, Madrid only needs to activate Nico Paz's buyback clause which is worth 80 million right now. So if they can sold Arda like 120m or more. Madrid is gonna book lots of profit. Nevertheless, i'm still waiting for the reliable news merchant to conform this.

I think most of the unreliable media houses that I know have actually published this and this is now gone viral. To be honest I don’t think i actually trust the genuity of this sudden PSG interest with even such amount for wages. This isn’t my first time of understanding this kind of trick where players actually get themselves linked with other clubs just to force their parent clubs into agreeing to pay more or increase some of their benefits and to be honest it’s what I do strongly believe is what the Arda Guler camp are doing here. Arda Guler loves been at Real Madrid even when he didn’t have good playing minutes now do you think he will leave after working his way into the team

I haven't read any news of such and I must say I highly doubt this because we all know Arda Güler loves it at Real Madrid and some seasons back when he was seeing reasons to leave because of game is not the case again because he is having that now.

Guler will remain in Real Madrid that is something I'm certain until I see him officially on another team uniform.

Mauricio Pochettino can handle Manchester United even if he isn't a top tier coach but I like his coaching style despite that he didn't succeed while he was Tottenham head coach. I don't know if the news is true or not but to every rumour, there can be a truth inside. However, i don't support Manchester United to sack Michael Carrick, they should give him enough time to build the team because if they sack him and hire another coach, they might still not get it right because the team's challenge is not about the coaches anymore. The players should admit that they have a problem which is lack of team work. I don't think Jurgen Klopp will be interested in coaching a club side as he is committed to the German national team that he is currently coaching. I don't know about Conte but since he is out of contract, I won't be surprised if Manchester United hires him.

We can not be rooting and vouching for Mauricio Pochettino in the year 2026, it shows how backwards we are and have been withs a lot of lowered standards. There's everything valid about the news and speculations, enough football journalists talking about it already on podcasts and socials.

Enough time? Are your eyes not visible? Go look at the present position we occupy on the Premier League standing and return right back to ask if he deserves it. The club wants a yes man who they can influence and also control, Mauricio pochettino is not good enough to be a Manchester United manager

[Fuso.hp]

I'll be very surprised if the management board at Manchester United decides to allow Michael Carrick remain at the club till the end of the current international break. Manchester United have been awful since the start of the season, and rightly deserve a fresh manager with a different tactical discipline. I honestly do not see the possibility of Michael Carrick turning things around if they decide to let him stay so the earlier they sack him the better for them.

Maybe they see that the manager isn't the problem—the current squad lineup is to blame. Maybe there isn't enough quality compared to the rest of the Premier League and currently not enough chemistry. Bruno, Cunha, and Mbeumo are the players to keep; the rest of them are all in question.

From Fabrizio Romano informed that Mauricio Pochettino will be ready to become the new coach of Man United in the near future. Automatically Carrick will actually be fired, and as always the change of coach Man United who has not found a match always ends the same.

I have actually become accustomed to such actions of Manchester United, changing managers has become their habit. They cannot adapt to any manager for more than a year. In most cases, it is seen that they sack the manager before the contract expires and bring in someone new.

I think the most dangerous job in the world right now is to coach Man United.

Yes, you are absolutely right, the reputation of those who have been managers of Manchester United so far has been bad, so before taking charge of this team, the managers will think many times whether they will take charge of Manchester United to spoil their own reputation. Today, they are negotiating with another manager by firing one person, but it will be seen that after a season they are negotiating with another manager to fire him.

in my opinin, even if Manchester United were to go through another ten managers, the team would still struggle. I believe the core problem lies with the players, not the coach. Discussions Fans surrounding Manchester United almost always attribute the team failures solely to the coach, leading to calls for their dismissal yet no one looks at the players themselves. The current Manchester United squad possesses a very weak mentality, unlike the era of Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs who were true role models, today player lack the competitive spirit expected of stars. I would point specifically to their captain, Bruno Fernandes his arrival in 2020, the team has faced a string of poor form, even as various high profile managers have come and gone.

If the rumored appointment of a new manager such as Mauricio Pochettino come, who is currently the subject of much talk were to happen, I predict the outcome would be exactly the same the club management would simply end up searching for yet another replacement by next season.

Arda Güler is very happy at Real Madrid. He has also become one of Real Madrid's best players. Thanks to him, Real Madrid has earned points in many matches. If PSG manages to acquire him, I think they will have gained one of Real Madrid's most valuable players. I hope Real Madrid doesn't make such a mistake because Real Madrid is a team that builds its future on young and talented players. Arda Güler is exactly the kind of player who could be the brains of that team.

There's something crucial you're missing, the coach also has the power to recommend players to be bought and sold. He manages the team, so if the team is having a "weak mentality", it is the duty of the coach and coaching staffs to identify the problem and help solve them. If your players are under-performing, bench them, or get new ones. The players could still be the issue as you've said, but the coach is the main issue.

Take a look at Manchester City, do you think without Pep, Mancity would've flourished as they did? Pep knows the sort of players he needs, where he needs them, how he needs them to play, and for what he needs them. That's what a coach does

[asriloni]

As per Romano's latest confirmation, Carrick is already sacked by Manchester United following MU's verbal agreement with Pochettino. So we can expect Pochettino to come to Old Trafford in the coming days.

What do you guys think over this signing? I'm not really feeling optimistic with United's decision to choose Pochettino to continue Carrick's legacy. Poch is not something who can't bad legacy by Carrick. So i think he's also gonna be doomed from the start.

Any opinions?

Some say the problem is the coach, there are also players and there is also the Glazer family who do not care about the future of the club and only care about the profits that can be. I think everyone does give their respective roles both from superiors to subordinates. Man United is not a special club anymore, slowly they are really out of the EPL. Competition is getting tougher, clubs who are struggling seriously slowly find their identity while Man United is still busy looking for his lost identity.

Shit. This guy should have been the man for the job but it's the desperation and inability of the board to accept blame but rather shift it on others that caused Carrick his job. Assuming it's Pochettino that becomes his replacement, what's the assurance that he'd be the man for the job.

I am also not feeling optimistic about this decision and I am not sure if any true Manchester United fan will feel optimistic about it. I feel for Carrick, he was set up by the Manchester United management.

Carrick qualified you for Champions League and you refuse to release good funds for him to get champions league players and now he is being dismissed.

I need to see the full clause Poch gave to United. Because if they also do not give him funds for the transfer market, he'll not do any better.

It's sad to see that this how it ends for Carrick after pulling a surprising stunt last season, when no one expected he made the unthinkable happened. This season we expected more from him but sadly it didn't go well for him. Manchester United were patient enough with him, the performance is just not improving and they had to part ways.
I didn't expect Manchester United to permanently sign Carrick after last season's success, he tried but we should know he can't do much with a team like that.

In my opinion I think Pochettino is an upgrade and that's what the team needs right now. He might not be the best in the world but he's got experience to make the team better. He may also not compete for the league but the team will stop being a laughing stock with him in charge.

I agree this was just a setup for him. Current Manchester united players are not dependable at all, withholding funds to buy quality players showed they offered Carrick no real support for his managerial position. I feel sad especially as he's managed to return enthusiasm to the players, remaining to fix the defensive loophole and they greeted him with his sack.

The players would have to face the harsh reality of transitioning from his pattern to that of Pochetino, I am keenly watching to see what this weak squad can achieve even under a new manager.

We can say that Pochettino is the most serious candidate. Last year was a dream for Carrick, this year has become a nightmare. He was finally sacked this year, and Manchester United is facing a difficult period. So far, they haven't been able to achieve what they wanted, currently sitting 18th in the league. They're not doing very well in the Champions League either. Hopefully, Manchester United will get back on track with the new manager. They've changed managers many times and still haven't achieved success.

Why do you say such a thing? the last time I checked the management was willing to funds him with what ever amount he needs to get good quality players, but he chose to go for young talents, now you want to blame it on the management, aside Fernandez and Tonali that we both knew the price was way to high, which other players do you think he went for that the money was not made available? The fact is he's gone and there's nothing anyone can do about it, now let's wait and see how Pochettino Will move the team forward.

You know as worse as this is looking, some fans has set a bet aside that before November 2027, Pochetino will be sent packing from Manchester United and I don't doubt that at all. How many coaches has Manchester United not change? They blame Ten Hag, he left. They blame Amorim, he left now they are playing another victim card again with Carrick and sooner or later, he will be force to leave the club and pochetino will take over the management.

Manchester united has defense challenges than Carrick they are about to sack and I will implore them to reason this very well. Take a look at the goals they have scored this season, 14 total goals for Premier League while Arsenal has 15 and are at the top of the league. If you now look at their goal conceded, Arsenal conceded 5 and Manchester united conceded 19 goals I hope you see where the problem lies and they are blaming poor Carrick.

I'm having the same feeling here. I have no problem with their decision to sack Carrick, we already understand why they did but I really don't think Pochettino is the right choice for them. We can not deny the fact that Manchester united is the most pressured club to work in right now in England and you can not expect a coach to succeed if you're not going to give them time. Unless they're ready to lower their expectations for now and allow him to revive the team gradually and get the players needed for the job in the next transfer window. Otherwise, if they expect things to be turn around magically, they should keep their eye searching for a new coach because they are probably getting him sacked before the end of the season.

[KingsDen]

On the short run the players will adapt. You know why? When a new coach arrives, players do their best to enter the good book of the new coach. So, a competition is expected among the players to secure their shirts and positions, this competition is always at the advantage of the coach because the performance of the players will increase.

But when they are settled, players like Rashford will naturally settle for their lazy behaviour in the pitch.

Manchester united has defense challenges than Carrick they are about to sack and I will implore them to reason this very well. Take a look at the goals they have scored this season, 14 total goals for Premier League while Arsenal has 15 and are at the top of the league.

You see?
This stat clearly shows that Manchester United problem was the defence. It was very clear to the blind that the defence was the problem and not the coach.
Let us see how well Poch will fare with Manchester United.

Not even Zidane would be a right coach for Manchester United if they don't support him in the transfer window, he might try his best based on his experience but won't get the desired result that many would expect from someone with his profile but if they support him by signing better players then there would be progress.

I also don't think Pochettino is the right choice and it doesn't matter whether he's supported or not, my thought is based on the fact that he's not a trophy winner, although i feel he could help them improve cause he's had experience in the league and he's bringing his own team with him.

For me the management of the team also passes through that and it is essential to advise important players who can change the level of the team, and the mentality also counts, because the preparation and everything that the coach transmits must then be transferred to the field, therefore he must surround himself with good people.
