Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

This is spreading among many sources recently. Liverpool could really be interested in Xabi Alonso now which wouldn't be a big surprise.

Arne Slot should have got sacked already. I feel the fans. They must be out of patience now. I don't think he should be kept just because things have been good in the Champions League.

If they get Xabi Alonso I hope they would be more patient with him than Real Madrid...
Yes, I would also expect Real Madrid to be more patient with a transfer like this because Xabi is a coach with potential. Also, wasn't he the one who brought Trent to Real Madrid? Now, could he want to bring him back from Real Madrid? Grin

Liverpool clearly needs a new manager to get back on track. They're getting very poor results with Slot this season. I think they'll probably sack him after a few more games.

After their last draw that David missed the only chance of giving them the win I think Juventus have changed the way they play, their mentality is very much different from the way we used to know them. This encounter was suppose to be a game for Napoli to fight back at everything Juventus throw at them but I saw a weak team that is struggling to defend and not to get something in this game, like what went wrong with the Napoli side? They were losing but no sign of what they use to do when they're losing, the title race might be shifting off their grip because their performance isn't convincing that they are among the title race, well I'd say a big congratulations to the Juventus boss,  their improvement is something the fans have been crying to see.
Last 4 games brought drastic changes into their strategy, they are playing with more aggressive approach, they have the good number of goals scored by their attack while they conceded only 1 goal in last 4 games, this change brings them on good level, now three teams for two spots by having just 1 point of difference.

From here, things are not easy to predict. Napoli losing their points while AS Roma and Juventus have good improvement which will give good fight for two spots and after years I see a good change in Serie A. 6 top teams have good consistency and quality for fighting hard and have their best. Atlanta is also coming back so next few weeks could be more interesting because of best soccer in Italian League.
Inter and Milan are currently the two teams with the most points ahead of the others. Inter are five points ahead of Milan. I think Inter's lead can be sustained until the end of the season. We are seeing the real race for the Champions League. Atalanta, Juventus, Como, Roma, and Napoli are all in contention. Although Atalanta is trailing, they are still in contention for the Champions League. While Inter has set their sights on the Champions League, they are very keen to win the Italian league.

I think Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa has seen a competent rival they will have to contend with in this tournament.

Couple more losses for Arsenal and win for Aston Villa, and the latter might climb to the top of the table. Frankly, I didn�t expect such pep from Aston Villa in their last match against Newcastle, and if they continue in the same vein, something incredible might happen especially considering that Manchester City are currently slipping in their performance. I expect the interesting development involving  Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa.

Aston Villa and Manchester City are tied at 46 points, while Arsenal is at 50. There's only a four-point difference, and they should thank Manchester United for that. Manchester United's away defeat to Arsenal suddenly reduced the gap to four points with Aston Villa and Manchester City. Panic has set in for Arsenal, and as we remember from previous years, they tend to lose points consecutively during such panic situations. If something similar happens again, Arsenal's championship hopes this year could diminish. However, we shouldn't speak negatively about Arsenal either, because Manchester United beat Manchester City. Therefore, recent results show that Manchester United is much better and stronger. I think they can still achieve successful results in their remaining matches.

Fabregas had rejected many coaching offers at the beginning of the year. I think Como is his most serious project. He will do everything he can to take this team, which he took over in Serie B, to European competitions and, if possible, the Champions League. Their six-goal victory against Torino made us feel this. They are in a very good and dangerous position in the Italian league. Many Italian teams should be very careful against them. Otherwise, Como could easily punish them in the match.

I think that Fabregas will actually leave, I'm sorry because this team is really strong and it's thanks to him, but Italy, as always, is not ready to have a coach like that in its league and, as always, it does everything to lose a key player who can change everything.
Fabregas has shown his capacity as a good coach and we can see how Como's journey so far has been very impressive. I am sure that thanks to his success, many clubs will tempt him with fantastic offers. Not only the coach but many players will also be looked at by other teams and of course that will really disturb Como in building the team. Como's management must take this threat seriously and of course Fabregas must be retained even though they have to increase his salary.
This year, Fabregas is achieving with Como what Xabi achieved with Leverkusen two years ago. In fact, considering he took over a team from a lower league, I think this shows he's even more successful. They're competing very well in Italy this year and continue to fight their best against every team. I think this is a success story instilled in the players by the coach. You don't see this kind of success very often in Italy because it's a place where certain teams are always in the race. But this year, Como is making history. They're achieving something very difficult.

Re: Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

Galatasaray secured an easy victory. In my opinion, Fatih Karag�mr�k is one of the teams most likely to be relegated. Fofana has returned to Chelsea. The team lacks players who can contribute to the score. Yesterday's goal for Fatih Karag�mr�k was beautiful, but it was just one beautiful goal. Even if they played 100 matches against Galatasaray, it would be a miracle for them to get a point. Sara was man of the match with 2 goals. Now, Manchester City and Galatasaray have an important match; City are the big favorites, but Galatasaray can also get points.
I knew Galatasaray would easily beat Karagumruk because out of the 18 matches Karagumruk has played so far this season, they managed to win two matches, and considering Victor Osimhen being available for Galatasaray in the match, it's normal that Karagumruk is no match for Galatasaray. I was even surprised that Karagumruk was able to score against Galatasaray because I never expected them to score a goal in the match.
Victor Osimhen is a huge advantage for Galatasaray. He's a very high-quality player, and his performance has made Galatasaray a much more comfortable team in front of goal. Of course, he's the most expensive transfer in Galatasaray's history, and he's meeting expectations. I don't know if he'll transfer to another team at the end of the season, but right now, Osimhen is the most important architect of Galatasaray's success. In this match, Karag�mr�k was a team that had no choice but to lose.

Gabriel Sara's goals were great, and yet they still criticize him what more can he do? Galatasaray got off to a good start with an early goal. Karag�mr�k somehow managed to score, and conceding a goal against the last-placed team in the league isn't ideal. Ultimately, we got three points, that's what I'm focusing on. The defensive concentration wasn't that great; I'm only worried about tougher opponents. This match served its purpose for now we need to prepare better for the next games.

Your concerns are valid because if you noticed what happened in the last couple of weeks, the defense has let down the team a couple of times and it ultimately to Galatasaray losing the Turkey super cup final to Fenerbahce. I dunno but I've always know Galatasaray's defense to be very weak. I remember watching them a year or 2 ago losing 2-0 to 3-0 leads.
Galatasaray is still the team with the best attacking organization in T�rkiye. They managed to overcome their defensive problems and proved this in their attacking power. They showed us a fantastic defensive performance against Liverpool in the Champions League. If they can do something similar against Manchester City, maybe they'll have a chance. Right now, it seems difficult for them to withstand Manchester City's magnificent players with these defenders, but nothing is impossible in football. They also won their last match in the Turkish league and maintained their lead. I don't know how they will lose points from now on, but the exhausting Champions League schedule is causing them to tire out in Turkey. We can see this in the matches.
Galatasaray is only playing well in the Turkish League, because I feel they�re more equipped in that League and there is no other team that is really strong enough to Challenge them in that League, Besiktas and Fenerbahce are only there in the League they aren�t really a competition or Challenge to Galatassary, the Turkish League is different from the Champions League, Manchester City is also trying to qualify in the top 8 of the Champions League position, so don�t expect an easy game for Galatasaray.

I watched the Galatasaray game against Liverpool in the Champions League, I will admit it wasn�t a good performance but just a game full of bad tactical play, Galatasaray wasn�t even ready to play that game, they were always falling to the ground and luckily they got a penalty but it was a terrible game to watch from Galatassary and they only won because they played at home, I don�t see how they will beat Manchester City or get a result against Manchester City at the Etihad it�s absolutely impossible for Galatasaray, somethings are impossible in football nowadays, don�t get too excited.
I think I agree with you. I watched Galatasaray yesterday when they played away against Karag�mr�k. Their performance wasn't very encouraging. Yes, they won 3-1, but with this kind of play, they can only win matches in the Turkish league. It's impossible for them to beat Manchester City in the Champions League, not even away. Maybe they could get a draw on a very lucky day. Because Galatasaray has been on a very bad run lately. They played very badly against us in the Super Cup, and we beat them and won the cup. Now, I think Manchester City will score at least three goals against Galatasaray at home. Galatasaray's defense leaves too many gaps, and as Fenerbah�e, we haven't been able to take advantage of them much, but a player like Haaland would tear Galatasaray's defense apart.

Even if Arteta and Arsenal don't win anything at the end of the season, it would be hard for me to say the season has a been a failure because, despite being a very good team, there are teams that, on paper, are better than them. I really wish all the best to Arsenal and I would be very happy if they actually win but, as I was saying, if we just take a look at the other teams, Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG... They are all better than Arsenal, those are the teams that are supposed to win yes or yes, Arsenal are not at that level for the moment. In a certain way they should feel a little less pressure because they are doing better than expected.
Can't acceptable if Arsenal not winning any trophies in this season after impressive performance not only in premier league but also has 100% winning matches in Champion League. Arteta very smart manager in this season how many time his rotation keep playing and several top recruitment can adapt well with his tactician, right now Arsenal not difficult to defend on top performance and actually have been qualified in Champion League and waiting last match to make new fantastic record winning all phase league matches.
Last season, Arsenal eliminated at semifinal round by PSG and success defeating Madrid at quarter final I think this season Arsenal has significant improving performance and get opportunity will reach the final round or become the champion of UEFA Champion League for the first time after last failure at season 2006 defeated by Barcelona at final stage.
So you're pretty much saying that you expect Arsenal to win something because they have been playing above expectations. And I agree with that. But, at the same time, if we accept the fact that Arsenal are winning more matches than expected, that also means Arsenal are surprising us, and that also means they weren't considered as possible winners. And one last thing: let's say Arsenal don't win any title, if that is a failure than Arteta should be sacked. Would you really sack Arteta for not winning any title? I wouldn't.
What Arteta is trying to do at Arsenal is establish a system. Therefore, if they were going to dismiss him for not winning a championship, they would have done so in the past. The management clearly shows their trust in him, and this could be the year they've been patient. They're playing exceptionally well in both the Champions League and the Premier League.

Today they have a match against Manchester United. They really want to be on the winning side in this match. I believe Arsenal has the ability to do that. Although Manchester United is a tough opponent, Arsenal has beaten tougher teams. Therefore, I believe they will win this match at home.

Como is playing incredibly excitingly. They're winning matches with results we're not used to seeing in the Italian league; today they scored six goals against Torino. Some weeks in the league, we don't see this many goals in every match. I don't even want to think about how the match would have ended if it weren't for the missed opportunities. Como could have scored a few more goals. They're currently fifth in the league and a top three finish isn't far off. They're clearly the most surprising and exciting team in the league this season.

Como is honestly playing one of the best philosophy of football under Cese Fabregas. I will say every young boy or footballer with passion for playing football should be watching watching them week in and out.
What I would love him doing, would be staying with Como to develop himself. This is the same person who brought them out from Seria B and into Seria A. Yeah, some of his finest player will ve leaving but he shouldn't be rushed to a club who will ruin the beautiful career he's having.
Fabregas had rejected many coaching offers at the beginning of the year. I think Como is his most serious project. He will do everything he can to take this team, which he took over in Serie B, to European competitions and, if possible, the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe was at the right place in the the right time immediately the second half started, he was able to convert that chance to a goal making Madrid to lead the game even though Villarreal had a strong defense and later he scored the penalty.  The game wasn�t that easy for both side but Madrid won and seal the three points, the Real Madrid players all played really well yesterday.

So for now Real Madrid are at the top of the League but Barcelona wouldn�t make any big mistake today to allow the top spot slide, they should be able to win Real Oviedo to still remain at the top of Laliga.
This was a game I was expecting real madrid to win convincingly because by looking at their head to head record against this Villarreal team before the start of the game, it was a total dominance from them, four wins out of five, and they drew just once, so even though real madrid were not in their best of form, I was expecting them to win this game no matter what, and my predictions was right.
Right now the league title race is heating up and it's still very open, so if real madrid can be able to maintain this winning run they are in right now, by going on a ten to fifteen games winning run, they might really stand a chance of being crown champions at the end of the season.
Of course, if Real Madrid can build a winning streak, they could win the championship at the end of the season. Although they didn't quite execute their plan against Villarreal, they ultimately secured the three points. Real Madrid has a winning mentality. They can win even when they play poorly. They didn't play exceptionally well in yesterday's game, but they didn't play terribly either. In the end, they achieved their goal and secured the three points, which I think is enough for them.

Casimero's departure will undoubtedly leave a significant hole in midfield, so Manchester United must find the right replacement to prevent the team's overall performance from worsening. Casimero's arrival adds value because his ability and maturity serve as an example for Manchester United's young players, allowing them to learn a lot from him. Unfortunately Casimero's presence has not been able to provide the Premier League trophy for Manchester United so he has not been able to complete his career and now he is being targeted by several teams in the Saudi Arabian League although currently there is no certainty which team will recruit him because he still has several months left on his contract at Manchester United.

As much as he'll be miss, his departure will not leave no hole on the midfield. All they need do is get Baleba from Brighton or Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest. These are two top midfielders dominating the league at their various clubs,  adding young, vibrant and energetic midfielders will do us a lot good because that is the only limitation we have with Casemiro currently. Asides that, he's one in a million. I think he'll leave for Saudi Arabia, possibly reuniting with Cristiano Ronaldo. But who knows?!
Of course, the chances of reuniting with Cristiano Ronaldo are very high. Al Nassr might want to sign Casemiro because they need a midfielder who can strengthen their defense and has strong defensive capabilities. I think Cristiano Ronaldo might also want him to join the team. Such transfers are very important for Al Nassr, who are now aiming for the championship. Currently, Al Hilal is comfortably in the title race in Saudi Arabia. If they want to compete with them and beat them, they have to strengthen their midfield.
