Below are my five predictions for the upcoming transfer
window, feel free to comment below on anything you agree or disagree with…
Enjoy!
1. Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United transfer saga
In every transfer window there is one rumour which keeps
coming back, in this window I predict Ronaldo to United to be in the papers
almost constantly. As the window progresses, the move will look more and more
likely, however it will not manifest, no doubt due to the unwillingness to
haggle of modern day Ebenezer Scrooge, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Frankly, I can’t see Ronaldo leaving Madrid for a long time,
he seems to be perfectly happy and scoring at will, what more could a player
ask for.
2. Spurs to sign a world class striker
Andre Villas Boas will surely be looking to open up his wallet
this window in order to take some scoring pressure off his team’s seemingly
only goal threat, PFA player and young player of the year, Gareth Bale. The
Welshman has been in scintillating form this season and has won all sorts of
plaudits, but it has come time that someone else with the ability to put the
ball into the net signed for Tottenham Hotspur. Hopefully it will help Spurs
fans to put behind them the disturbing displays they have witnessed from Emmanuel
Adebayor this season.
Who will be signed is anyone’s guess, it could be any one of
a number of strikers, one thing is for certain though, they will already be on
the verge of signing for Liverpool. But on a more serious note, options range
from Brazilian Leandro Damiao to relegated QPR’s Loic Remy to Borussia Dortmund’s
Polish hit man Robert Lewandowski. I am unsure who AVB will sign, but my gut
tells me it could be Lewandowski.
3. Arsene Wenger to say he will spend big.... then sign Thierry Henry again
All in good fun! But seriously, I can see Wenger promising
to spend big again this window, as he does every window, and only delivering an
average player. I feel sorry for Arsenal fans around this time of the year, as
their hopes sky rocket with their claims “in Arsene we trust,” only for their
dreams to be dashed by the very man in which they held their faith.
The gunners have done well this season to hold onto a top
four position thus far, and if they wish to perform well in Europe next year as
well as even have a run at the title, they will need reinforcements. Wenger
will surely know this, but whether or not he will make the right choices in the
market remains to be seen.
4. Jose Mourinho to return to Chelsea
It’s been all over the internet for the past week or so, but
I am just going to come out and say it, I believe that José Mourinho will be
the manager of Chelsea next campaign. Rafael Benitez has given it his best, but
the fans are simply not all behind him and this is a big problem at a club
whose fans have such high expectations as those of Chelsea. Sure, Benitez’s
side hasn’t been in all that bad form but he certainly does not have them at
the levels which Mourinho could. Knowing Roman Abramovich, the axe well be
wielded as the Russian oil tycoon moves to reunite with his former Portuguese colleague.
If the rumours are to be believed, then Mourinho will be bringing
with him Atletico Madrid’s Columbian powerhouse Falcao. This could spell
trouble for the rest of world football, as a Mourinho led side which features
Falcao as well as Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and others could well stake their
claim to the premier league title and even the champions league title in the
coming season.
5. Luis Suarez to stay at Liverpool
After his controversial bite on Branislav Ivanovic and
subsequent 10 match ban from the FA, there was talk that Luis Suarez could well
have played his last match for Liverpool Football Club. However, I do not
believe that this will be the case; I believe that the Uruguayan will come back
stronger than ever in the 7th match of next season. I cannot give a
rationale for this prediction, it is just a gut feeling, based on Suarez’
previous behaviour. Whilst some feel he is of questionable character, he has
always showed nothing but loyalty to Liverpool for everything they have given
to him and I believe he will remain at Anfield for long enough to see them
return to the champions league.
That’s Rosey’s predictions for the upcoming transfer window,

Lewandowski is most certainly not off to Spurs. The lad is certain on Bayern, and according to Rafa Hoenigstien has agreed personal terms. Its BVB that will be working hammer and tong to prevent this from happening, but might eventually find themselves in an awkward position. And if he were to move elsewhere, it would be to a much bigger, richer club that can promise Champions League Football-something that Spurs are yet to attain this season.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting mate. These are just my predictions. I can't really see the logic behind Lewandowski joining Bayern, they already have two quality strikers in Mandzukic and Gomez, but if, as you say, he is set on Bayern then there is not much that can be done about that. Jake.
