Transfer analysis Premiership
We think that the most interesting transfer in Premiership until
know is the signing of Jesus Navas for 20 mln euro by Man City. Without any
doubts the most problematic zone of the Citizens formation was the right
midfielder. In the last season James Milner played most of the time, but he is
not at the needed standard in order to improve the performance enough. By
signing Jesus Navas, City will have speedy and tricky winger who will add
depth, assists and goals to their attack. We think that 27 years old wing will
be a starter in Manuel Pellegrini’s squad. We also evaluate the possible impact
of Navas very high.
The second position is for the move of German highly rated
forward Andre Schurrle. The 22 year old ex-Leverkusen player was signed for 22
mln euros. He was Chelsea’s target for second consecutive season, but this time
the Blues achieved in their mission to secure his signature. Schurrle will add
some interesting options to Mourinho tactic and style and despite that there
are not so many German players who succeeded in Permiership, we think that
Andre will be a hit.
Tottenham Hotspurs did not need a lot quality to their
midfield, but they have decided to add the rising Brazilian star Paulinho to
their squad. The midfielder showed his abilities in the Confederation cup and
all of the newspapers sent him to Inter Milan, but at the end he founded
himself at London. Spurs paid 20 mln euros for the services of the 22 year old
Paulinho and we think that he will adapt quickly to Villas Boas style. The
carioca national will add a bit “latino” notes to Spurs midfield and according
to us will worth his price.
Someone may find our next choice a little bit strange, but we chose Simon Mignolet as our next interesting transfer in Premiership. The Belgian keeper make move from Sunderland to Liverpool for the price of 10.5 mln euros. Big part of the Reds supporters complain about the form and the qualities of Pepe Reina. The Spaniard did not improve his form and we think that he will leave sooner rather than later. Mignolet is one of the top young keepers, being 25, which is not that much for his position. He beat the competition of Thibaut Courtois and became a starter in Belgian national team. We think that all of the scousers will be happy with his performance and he will help them to achieve better position this year.
Swansea had a lot of troubles with scoring goals last year.
They had to use the Spanish sensation Michu as a striker and did not find any
other player who can score enough. So Laudrup signed the top scorer of
Eredivisie, the Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony. You can find our complete
analysis here - Focus on: Wilfried Bony. We’ve already monitored his performance and we can admit that
he will be a success. Bony has all the needed abilities to become a top scorer
even in Premiership. He will have a great impact. Playing in front of Michu can
be the trump for Swansea flying performance in England and Europe.
Transfer analysis Bundesliga
With no doubts we can evaluate as the most interesting
transfer in the Bundesliga until now the signing of Mario Gotze by Bayern
Munich from the vice-champions Borussia Dortmund. This transfer has some
different interesting aspects. Bayern are signing the best player of their
biggest rival in the latest years, they are getting the top German talent and
they are paying the amazing 37 mln euro for a 21 years old player. Definitely
the price is big and the status of Gotze at Bayern is far away from a sure
starter, but we still evaluate him as the most interesting transfer in the
Bundesliga in this transfer window until now.
The second most interesting transfer according to us is the
replacement of Gotze at BVB, the Armenian star Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The ex-Shakhtar
player will be one of the hits in the new season of the Bundesliga and he
showed a bit of glances already, in Borussia’s friendlies. The only problem is
that Henrikh left the field with an injury and will miss a 4 weeks of the
summer training. The 27.5 mln euro
signing will be a starter if he is fit and will have a very big impact of the
performance of his new team.
The third place in this impromptu list goes for the transfer
of one of the top Barcelona talents – Thiago Alcantara. The new manager of Bayern
Munich – Pep Guardiola, decided to sing his ex player for 20 mln euro.
Alcantara shined brightly at the latest euro for U21, by scoring 3 goals at the
final and helped his team to win the title. Thiago will have to fight for his
place, as Bayern have one of the top players, but according to us he will be
starter in the Guardiola’s selection, because the player and the manager had a
good connection.
The final two of the interesting transfers in the German
championship are the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at BVB and the
transfer of Heung-Min Son from HSV to Bayer Leverkusen. The Gabonese star was
transferred for 13 mln and will help his manager in searching of attacking
variety. We think that he will be a top shot for that price and will become one
of the stars of Dortmund’s selection. You can check our complete analysis of Aubameyang
– Focus on: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Korean star made a very good season
at HSV and attracted the attention of the top clubs. After selling Andre Schurrle
the new coach of Leverkusen, Sami Hyypia, moved for Son as his replacement. The
striker will bring some new possibilities and will be one of the leading
players of Leverkusen.
Transfer analysis
Ligue 1
The most impressive move according to us is the signing of Colombian
star Falcao for 60 mln euro by Monaco from Atletico Madrid. The striker proved
his star status in all of the clubs where he played. He was the top scorer of
his ex team and was one of the most interesting bites in the market. Monaco did
not have such a star in their forward line and normally Falcao will have to
lead their attack in the search of the title. The Colombian has all the needed
abilities to achieve this and we think that he will be the top star in the next
season.
The next impressive move made by a French team was the
signing of Uruguayan star Edinson Cavani for 64.5 mln euro by PSG from the Italian
Napoli. This is the top price paid for a player in the current transfer market.
Monaco won the battle for his signature with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Man City.
It will be an interesting to watch an attacking line including Cavani and
Ibrahimovic. Without doubts, the b attle for the top scoring prize will be
between Cavani, Ibra and Falcao and the fans will be very happy to watch it the
whole season.
Despite being a newly promoted team, Monaco spread a lot in
the market. They have splashed 45 mln euros for James Rodriguez and another 25
mln euro for Joao Moutinho, both signed from the Portugal giant Porto. The Colombian
midfielder James is one of the rising stars and his move to Monaco was a little
strange. The 22 year old player will be a starter and will be leading star for
his new club. The Portugal midfielder Moutinho will have to become the director
of the midfield. The 26 years old is one of the Portugal best players in the latest
years and will have a great impact.
It was very hard to choose the last one in the list, but we
go for the young left back Lucas Digne. The most talented French left back made
a move from Lille to PSG for the value of 15 mln euros. Digne is 19 years old
and will have to learn a lot before becoming a star, but he will have a good
tutor in PSG – Maxwell. The French left full back will become a starter in the
next year and will not have the impact that all of the other players in the
list will have, but he has enough talent to be listed here.
Transfer analysis
La Liga
Of course top of the top transfer is the signing of the
Brazilian top star at the moment – Neymar. Barca paid 57 mln euros for his
services. The 21 year old will have to deal with the pressure of the
expectations and the pressure of playing alongside Messi, which will definitely
make Neymer not the top leading player of the squad. This will be the issue
which Tito Villanova should resolve. Despite being in the shadow of Messi we think
that Neymar will be a starter and will bring another dimension to Barcelona’s
attack, but what about their defense?
Real Madrid changed their manager. Mourinho went in Chelsea
and Real appointed Anceloti. After that they moved for two of the top talents
in Spain, where you can find a lot of talented players in the latest years. Los
Merengues splashed the impressive 30 mln euros for Malaga’s star Isco and
another 30 mln euros for Real Sociedad’s one Illarramendi. The attacking
midfielder Isco will have to fight with top flying Mesut Ozil and the new
manager’s favourite Kaka, for a starting place, but he has the abilities to
become a legend at Bernabeu.
Illarramendi is bought for a replacement of Xabi Alonso. Both of the
players came through the academy of Real Sociedad and are now at Madrid. We
think that Illa will not be a starter this season in the concurrency of Modric,
Khedira and his tutor Alonso, but the price and the talent of the player earned
him a place in the list.
One of the shocking transfers in the window was the move of
David Villa from Barcelona to Atetico Madrid. Rojiblancos lost their top player
– Falcao, but they have bought David Villa for the amazing price of only 5 mln
euros. Villa showed that he didn’t lost his form, because of the injury, which
kept him of the fields for 9 months, and made a good impression at the
Confederation Cup. Definitely the Spanish scorer will be the leading star in
Ateti and will have a great impact, if staying fit.
The latest transfer that we will mention from this league is
the move of Benat from Betis to Atletic Bilbao. The Lions sold Javi Martinez
last year and had some problems in the organization of the game so it was
obvious that they need a signing in the midfield. They moved for Benat at the
price of 8 mln euros and the new Spanish international will have to repay for the
faith. The 26 year old, has a great vision, passing ability and composure and
according to us he will become the director of Bilbao’s midfield.
Transfer analysis
Seria A
According to us, the most interesting transfer is the
signing of Argentinean forward Carlos Tevez, by Juventus for the price of 9 mln
euros. Every football fan is familiar with the problems that Tevez has with the
discipline, but at every club he played the first season was at top level. He
was leading star in Man United and Man City and at that price the 29 year old “beast”
will become a great addition for the Italian giants.
Juve signed another top forward in order to fight the
problem of scoring goals. They have signed Fernando Llorente with a free
transfer, after the contract of the Spanish striker with Atletic Bilbao expired.
The lion showed lot qualities in La liga and a lot of rumors were flying in the
football world. After long discussions he decided to join the Italian champions.
Llorente will offer another dimension to the attack and will help in the
European and domestic march of Conte’s squad.
Benitez will have to change the style and the tactic of
Napoli. According to us he will go for his favorite 4-2-3-1 and the most important
elements, missing in the squad he found, were the wingers. He had already signed
two very interesting players and we chose them in our list. Napoli paid 10 mln
euros for the services of the Belgian international Dries Mertens and another
10 for the Spanish winger of Real Madrid Jose Callejon. Both of the players are
very talented and at a wonderful age (26 years). We know that they are not one
of the top players on their position, but we think that both of them will have
incredible impact on the style and the results of Napoli.
A lot attention was attracted by the transfer of Mario Gomez
to Fiorentina from Bayern Munich. The German international was one of the highly
rated forwards and was showing good scoring form in his latest seasons at the
European champions. We don’t think that he will have the expected effect, but
we still think that until know he is one of the most interesting players that arrived
in Italy. He will have to replace Stevan Jovetic, who will possibly move to Man
City.
