Memphis-Firmino swap is being worked on by Barcelona for the January transfer window. The source of the report doesn't seem reliable, but Firmino and Memphis Depay may swap places. It's just a rumor! It is not possible for Liverpool to swap Firmino for Memphis. Although Memphis might be a better player than Firmino, but Firmino is a more versatile player. Therefore, I would like to ask what Barcelona is trying to accomplish?

In the last four games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has scored 4 goals, and they have conceded 5 goals. Bayern Munich has trouble scoring against defensive teams. And most teams in the Bundesliga will play a defensive strategy against Bayern. And so Bayern needs an experienced striker now, or they will have to come up with a change in match strategy. I look forward to seeing Nagelsmann's strategy against Leverkusen. Now that Bayern Munich can't add new players to the squad, Nagelsmann is likely to change tactics in his next match.
You are right, actually the problem that Bayer faces is the finisher part. Mane has not been able to answer the needs that Bayern need in the previous four matches. there may be several reasons that Mane always struggles to score goals, some rumors say it doesn't match the strategy pattern that Nagels often uses, some say Mane is better if he plays as a winger.but for sure, in the match against Leverkusen. Nagels must be able to restore the confidence of his squad and win the game. not easy, but Nagels must answer any doubts that currently tend to corner his position as boss of Bayern Munich.
I believe, Bayern will win the match against Leverkusen.
With Liverpool, we saw the gameplay of Sadio Mane. He couldn't score regularly. We see the same thing at Bayern Munich. So Nagelsmann should not be overly dependent on Sadio Mane to score. Bayern Munich should change their 4-2-3-1 formation. If not, Sadio Mane should change his position. Otherwise, Bayern Munich will not get the expected results.
I believe Bayern Munich will make no mistake against Leverkusen. Because Leverkusen's performance is very poor this season. They are now close to the relegation zone. However, teams close to the relegation zone often surprise everyone with terrible performances. So Bayern Munich will have to perform very cautiously and keep the defence strong.
Considering the fact that Thomas Tuchel has quite a bit of experience and has also done a decent job with bigger teams like Chelsea, I think that he is going to be the right fit for Bayern Munich. The problem for Bayern Munich, I believe, is not the coach of the team, but rather the fact that they have lost one of their best strikers, Lewandowski, to Barcelona during this past transfer window. As opposed to changing the coach, I believe that the team should try to find a new striker to join them instead of changing the coach.
I also think that Lewandowski's departure from Bayern Munich has had an impact on their performance this season. Lewandowski is indeed a good player and he was also a key player at Bayern Munich, so when he decides to go to Barcelona, it was like Bayern Munich lost their fangs. Moreover, there is another big problem that Bayern is facing, which their defensive line is underperforming. Changing the coach may be a solution, at least for Tuchel who has managed a big team like Chelsea could give a change and hope for Bayern Munich.It is true that with the departure of Robert Lewandowski, their attack has lost a lot of its power, and in addition, they have been conceding quite a bit more goals than they used to in the past few seasons as well. Despite the fact that they have been able to buy Dayot Upamecano, I believe they still need to purchase an additional and stronger defender. Furthermore, another big blow to the defense of this team came from the departure of Nicolas Sule to Dortmund in the last season. It might be the only solution at this point to change the coach, but they will also need to spend big bucks in the next transfer window in order to make this happen.

Signing Mane wasn't a bad idea, but I agree that they needed a more typical replacement for Lewandowski, and Serge Gnabry is not that guy, with Kane renewal at Tottenham, Bayern Munich would need to break more than just the bank in order to sign him, there's no chance that Tottenham would let him go.
I read the news about Harry Kane rumors, but Bayern Munich has been in contact with Harry Kane's camp but not with Tottenham Hotspur, does this mean that Bayern Munich is serious about signing Harry Kane? about how much the price is still not explained but it seems Bayern Munich is trying to convince the Spurs player, even in the article there is a statement from Bayern Munich to Harry Kane not to renew his contract with Spurs.
But I don't think this will happen in the winter window because Harry Kane said he didn't want to rush things.

Bayern Munich are desperately trying to make their striker signing at the earliest opportunity but it's quite late for this season I'm afraid. Because they should have done this pre-season to be fully ready. They were just too stubborn about not going for any player and denied all the rumours linking them with Harry Kane.
There is no way they are signing Kane in January. They'd better forget about it and make their plans according to that. Whatever amount they offer I don't think Tottenham would be okay about selling him in the middle of the season. It'd be a huge problem for them while they are doing this much wonderful in the EPL.
Man United is lucky to have a formidable goalkeeper like De Gea. Even though in the last few seasons Man United's performances have not been satisfactory but De Gea is one of the players whose performance is quite consistent. There are rumors that Man United will not extend De Gea's contract and would let De Gea leave on a free transfer, because Man United seems unwilling to spend a lot of money on his salary, and looks like Man United is also looking for a new goalkeeper to replace De Gea.
Rashford has been in good form this season, and he fits with Ten Hag's football, so it should be that Man United has to keep him (moreover, Man United don't have a lot of options in their attack line).
David De Gea have been a very important player for Manchester United for many years, he will forever be remembered for his incredible saves and top class performances and numerous clean sheets. De gea is indeed a savior for Manchester United I still remember many games Manchester United were to lose if not for the incredible performances from David De Gea but and he won't be there to save the club forever, if he leaves he will be leaving as a legend for the club.Rashford has been in good form this season, and he fits with Ten Hag's football, so it should be that Man United has to keep him (moreover, Man United don't have a lot of options in their attack line).
At the moment his condition seems to have decreased a bit compared to previous seasons but for a 31-year-old goalkeeper it is still quite good in my opinion.

David De Gea have been a very important player for Manchester United for many years, he will forever be remembered for his incredible saves and top class performances and numerous clean sheets. De gea is indeed a savior for Manchester United I still remember many games Manchester United were to lose if not for the incredible performances from David De Gea but and he won't be there to save the club forever, if he leaves he will be leaving as a legend for the club.I agree with what you said that de gea saved Manchester United several times but management thinks United need a new goalkeeper for their long term project. De Gea's replacement candidates are reportedly Aston Villa goalkeeper (Martinez) and ATM goalkeeper (Jan Oblak)
A 2-3 month absence is expected for Ronald Araújo following surgery on his right thigh. He will miss the World Cup due to this surgery. Unfortunately, this is bad news for the Uruguay National Team and FC Barcelona as well. There are almost all of Xavi's first eleven injured, which is too much for him. El Clásico or the World Cup don't matter as much as our health! I wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back stronger than ever.
What does the Barcelona player who has just suffered an injury have to do with this Thread, I don't think Barcelona will make any transfers with the current situation. The FIFA virus has brought disaster to Barcelona because several of its players were injured while defending their national team, but Barcelona still has a stock of players ready to play whenever needed.Note: what you wrote above should be in La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 because this thread is for
Football Transfer Speculation, not discuss certain teams that did not make any transfers.
I think they will draw a good graph at UCL. Looking at the points they lost in the league, everyone can easily say that they did not play badly. Let's not see if things don't seem to be going well. In my opinion, Bayern's squad is very strong. They also achieve certain success in the champions league.
Munich will be aggressive from now on to find a central striker. they already have a strong team. but indeed they are in trouble with their squad in the league.but it won't take long, I'm sure Munich will soon emerge from this situation. the winter transfer window will be an opportunity for Munich to get a new striker. Mane's arrival may be felt less. and Munich must get to make the Munich front line scary again.
In the last four games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has scored 4 goals, and they have conceded 5 goals. Bayern Munich has trouble scoring against defensive teams. And most teams in the Bundesliga will play a defensive strategy against Bayern. And so Bayern needs an experienced striker now, or they will have to come up with a change in match strategy. I look forward to seeing Nagelsmann's strategy against Leverkusen. Now that Bayern Munich can't add new players to the squad, Nagelsmann is likely to change tactics in his next match.
I didn't know that Marcus Rashford had a 12-month extension option on his contract to be triggered. Manchester United have started to negotiate with some of their important players for extending their contracts. He is one of these players currently. If they don't convince him to extend then they will guarantee one more year by triggering the option at least. Maybe Rashford might not rush things about extending his contract with the team. Because he heard about some interest by PSG before and he would like to wait to see if he will get any offer.
Manchester United are in talks with De Gea at the same time because his contract is ending next summer normally just as Rashford. De Gea is the most important part of the team now actually so they should do their best to convince him. If it wasn't for his great saves so far the team would have been in a much worse condition.

He has never had interest with the move to Paris Saint Germans, that was really initiated by his brother so Manchester United could raise his salary they had initially with him.
Erik Ten Hag has also cleared those talks about him saying they have long term plans with him ( Marcus Rashford ) he was indeed Manchester Uniteds pivot during the second season with Ole Gunner Solskjear but all didn't go as planned for that season as he got injured.
Good they want to keep David De Gea at Manchester United, he has been a good shot stopper not until the Introduction of Harry Maguire and some lazy defending. Chris Smalling loaned or sold was far better than H-M!
Harry Maguire is the worst ever defender transfer for Manchester United.
They paid 87 million euros to Leicester for signing him. Leicester must be very contented with that deal. Manchester United's problem is this actually. They are pouring a lot of money for almost every player in the recent years. They should do a proper research before splurging on a player. I hope that Antony's end won't be similar to Maguire here. He is a quite talented player though and Erik ten Hag must be knowing what he is doing now. They have spent €100m for him in the end and Antony will be under pressure.
Man United often buy players at too high a price, it doesn't matter if the player plays well, the problem is that some of the players bought by Man United
are underperforming. For example, Harry Maguire, as you said, is the worst defender buy by Man United. Of course Man United are very regret to spend
so much money to buy Harry Maguire. Moreover, it is impossible for Man United to sell Maguire again, it is certain that even if there is a club that wants
to buy Maguire, the price will fall. So instead of selling Maguire cheaply, it's better for Man United to make Maguire a substitute.
But it looks like Man United never learned with some of Man United's overpriced purchases, they repeated the same thing by buying Antony from Ajax at
too high a price in my opinion. Hopefully Antony can make a big contribution to Man United, and I hope the management of Man United can be wiser
in spending money to buy players. Jadon Sancho is also one of the players bought by Man United at a price too expensive, fortunately Sancho's
performance this season is very good, because the previous season Sancho's performance was very bad.

I so also support this decision, it only remains that the deal would take place, but I would still give the current coach a chance to try to fix the situation. For example, give him 4 games and see how the team plays under him. And if not, of course replace him with Thomas. The main thing is not to be too late to do it. Now the situation is still more or less correctable
This might happen if Nagelsmann still can't lift Bayern's performance because this is the worst possibility for Nagelsmann later.Bayern has yet to make an official decision, which means there is still an opportunity for Nagelsmann to improve their performance.
Now it depends on what Nagelsmann does when he still wants to coach Bayern, so he has to overhaul the scheme he has applied so far.
Maybe that won't help. In that case, they need to change the scheme so that the lack of a good striker is not felt in the game at all. I think the coach is unlikely to make it through the winter if he leaves things the way they are, so he has few options, either he starts coaching well or resigns. You better remember when coaches have gotten out of situations like this under threat of firing
Romelu Lukaku doesn't think of coming back to Chelsea after his loan contract with Chelsea ends. I find it normal as he hasn't been happy for a long time after signing for Chelsea. It was one of the worst deals for Chelsea in their history by the way. They sold him to Inter for 74 million euros and bought him back for 113 million. But now Lukaku doesn't even want to play for Chelsea in the future anymore.
Inter might even continue to extend his loan until the end of his contract to sign him without a transfer fee. We haven't watched properly at Inter yet as he has been injured for some time. But I bet he is very happy to return here. He would surely show that to us by his effort.

I'm still not very sure about Conte's not renewing his contract with Tottenham for certain. Because depending on the success rate of the team maybe we might see the team and him reaching an agreement for a contract extension later in the season. For now things are going the way they want in the English Premier League. I believe they would start doing better in the Champions League as well. We would watch them qualifying from their group at worst.
Juventus will need to be patient and their priority should be fixing things without changing their manager I believe.
It makes sense for Conte to not sign a contract yet. I don't know what his preferences look like, but I think it is not unlikely that he would like to go back to Italy and if he does, the club he would probably want to coach is Juventus. So he is well advised to wait how things develop there and at the same time he could keep performing with Tottenham and ask for a higher salary when it comes to an extension of the contract. He is in a strong position when it comes to options and negotiations given how things are right now. Juventus will need to be patient and their priority should be fixing things without changing their manager I believe.
But, now as rumors are working around most chances if he has no good results then surely he is going to be not extension and leaving at the end of this season which will give him better opportunity at few Italian clubs which are currently not performing good and looking for him at the end of this season.
I would bet that Conte is already in touch with people from Juventus Turin. Of course they claim all the time that no negotiations or talks are happening, not even in the background, but I seriously don't think that is true. Coaches like Conte with a history as a coach in Italy has an amazing network and they can keep quiet about any kind of talks.
Conte can now see how it goes and also have one eye on what is happening at Juventus. If Tottenham performs well throughout the next couple of months especially in the Premier League, he could ask for a significant rise in salary for another contract extension. If his wishes are not fulfilled then, he could check his alternative options and Tottenham will know what his options are when Juventus doesn't step up their game.
One factor is certainly the performance in the Champions League though. Even if they do well in the EPL, the CL is still another very important goal. It is the icing on the cake and it would be a bummer to Tottenham's management and fans if they don't make it through the group stage.

Sadio Mané is the kind of player all manager would love to be in their team. But the presence of Mané in Bayern Munich doesn't suit well in the team as I see him struggling to improve in his performance. Bayern Munich is a big club and one can easily turn out to be a flop there because there's high level of competition for those on the pitch and backup players. Julian Nagelsmann only choose his kind of players that posses the qualities he needs in games. Let's give mane some time to check if he can try his best to adapt to the Bundesliga pattern of game.after losing Lewandowski Bayern indirectly lost a pure striker and Mane is not a player who always creates goals like Lewandowski because we know when he was at Liverpool he was more often a player who provided assists than goals so having a different goal as a target man did not suit his game.

Sadio Mane's quality is unquestionable. But it is very important that the position should be clearly defined. I don't see that at the moment. At the moment, I don't understand how the role is defined. Bayern Munich will benefit best if Sadio Mane continues to play in the number 9 position rather than the left wing position. Julian Nagelsmann is considered to have to move Sadio Mane back to the number 9 position against Bayer Leverkusen. Everyone should know what they have to do on the pitch,� said Philipp Lahm
To be honest, I was quite surprised by the analysis carried out by Lahm and if we look back (when Mane played at Liverpool) again, what Lahm said is true. Currently, Nagelsmann is still often fiddling with Mane's position, and if Mane is trusted like Lahm's analysis, then Bayern have actually been right in choosing a replacement for Lewandowski and only need to give him a little time to mane, without the need to look for a new striker again in the next transfer season.

Watford FC confirms Slaven Bilić as its new Head Coach on an 18-month contract, subject to receiving the relevant work permit.
https://www.watfordfc.com/news/official-bilic-appointed-hornets-head-coach
Watford signed a 1.5-year deal with Slaven Bilic. He previously coached West Ham United and West Bromwich. He has England experience. In fact, he played in the English Premier League as a football player. He is no stranger to England. According to some news I read in the press, Watford changed 4 coaches in the last year. Slaven Bilic will be their 5th coach. Watford have 14 points in the Championship and they are currently in 10th place. It's always difficult to build a good career in the England. I wonder if Slaven Bilic will succeed in the difficult one.
Well he's been a fearless coach , he turned west ham from mediocre into nearly qualified to champions league back in the days in 2015 , if only they won the last three matches of that season they might be playing at champions league , too bad they are a couple of points away to play in the most prestigious competition.https://www.watfordfc.com/news/official-bilic-appointed-hornets-head-coach

Not a bad choice by watford, they are trying to get back to premier league and it's a great decision though to react quickly after several disappointed result.
