La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[X-ray]

Next season will be a hard season for Xavi and Barcelona because they couldn't have players like Real Madrid and other teams have much better performances in the transfer window, Barcelona needs to have a young alternative player for Lewandovki and they don't have a financial situation for even think about players like Kane or Osimhen.
I think unlike what we saw this season, in the next season Real Madrid will have much more chance than Barcelona.

Who do you maen above? Barcelona has been getting one of best player right now and it's gundogan from manchester city. The problem if gundogan will not be used as a replacement for busquet. The only problem if xavi was looking for another player from girona to replace busquets which is very bad. I think that if real madrid is still gambling with joselu. We shall wait until the pre match. That will give us a small insight about how good the transfers that have already made by madrid and barcelona.
Calling barcelona's transfer was failed is wrong caused by we are still far away from the end of transfer season. There is still enough time for barcelona to buy more players other than gundogan.
Barcelona is still having some targets that have not yet been completed. I think that you shall be patience a little bit more.

Apart from that, Barcelona also needs to thank the players who are currently holding on because they are willing to give this salary cut to improve the club. Instead, this should make Barcelona a club worth fighting for. Look at De Jong who consistently survives amid offers from big clubs but he chooses to stay. Gundogan position has been ideal at Barcelona since the departure of Sergio Busquets, maybe he will be made captain at Barcelona rather than appointing young players. Gundogan leadership can help and I'm sure Xavi likes Gundogan too.

As you said, yes Gundogan is a great replacement for Busquets, but I don't think Barcelona would trust him straight away as captain especially in his first season.

If you look deeper, then maybe you will find the figure of the captain who is most likely to lead Barcelona next season. Sergi Roberto, Marc-André ter Stegen and Frenkie de Jong will probably be up for that responsibility over the next season. So I believe Ilkay Gundogan doesn't deserve the captain's armband yet as he's not a player known for his loyalty as a new players. Araujo might have been more appropriate even though he was young.

Surely, Ilkay Gundogan's prowess at Manchester City is undeniable, making him a potential gem for Barcelona. Yet, assigning him the captain's armband in his debut season could be hasty. Players like Sergi Roberto, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Frenkie de Jong, have shown not only performance but club loyalty. Captaincy is more than a role; it's an emblem of skill and devotion. Hence, Gundogan might need time to show his loyalty to Barcelona before earning the captain's role.

Ilkay Gundogan is a valuable player for Manchester City. It would not be wrong to say that Manchester City is an efficient captain. He is currently planning to leave Manchester City. Ilkay Gundogan's contract with Manchester City may not be to his liking, which could lead him to choose Barcelona as his next destination. At this time of club change, Ilkay Gundogan will most likely go to Barcelona if he leaves the club and if he goes to Barcelona, he may not get the responsibility of captaincy there because the Spanish veteran Sergio Busquets is already doing great captaincy for Barcelona. As long as he stays at Barcelona, the captaincy will remain in his hands. Barcelona will hire Ilkay Gundogan not for his captaincy but for his performances.

It's like Hazard forgot about football. He hasn't played in such a long time that I don't understand how a talent like him disappeared. He was a great player, working wonders when he played for Chelsea, but his Madrid career didn't go as he expected. Combined with injuries and poor performance in Real Madrid, he could not wear the jersey again.

The only best thing for him to consider play for saudi club. It's better rather than trying to force himself for something that he can'd to that again in european football. There's no club interested to sign him after real madrid already confirmed to terminate his contract this month.

The future of hazard is still uncertain. I don't see another choice for him other than going tot he saudi pro league.
He will be able to continue his career even though he will not become a big player again at least he can still use his skill there.

Currently, so many European players who have expired choose to join the Saudi league team and it is quite natural that Hazard will decide to go to the Saudi league if one of the teams there starts offering him a salary. After leaving Real Madrid, Hazard's future has not met with certainty until now and in my opinion, if he forces himself to stay in Europe, it will make him feel uncomfortable with his performance, which has now declined considerably. In the Saudi league, it really doesn't really need great skills, but the important thing is that the big name as one of the footballers is what they will sell there.

I haven't heard any rumours related to Hazard recently. Actually he might even go back to the Premier League but it wouldn't be one of top teams there. We might see him playing for an average level team. Teams such as Aston Villa have been interested in bringing such players recently. Maybe Hazard might be their next target in the near future.

If he can't find himself a proper European team to go to this summer then he can seriously think of going outside Europe. He can make a lot of more money for sure. As he has got a serious injury period at Real Madrid we don't even know how good he would be able to play.

Actually there are many reasons that make Eden Hazard slowly lose his performance. The first reason is because he has suffered many injuries so he always misses the opportunity to show his best performance while defending Real Madrid. And the second reason is that when Eden Hazard finally recovered from injury, it seemed that the Real Madrid coach had lost his trust in Eden Hazard. So that Eden Hazard has very little playing time. and he couldn't contribute much to the team because he didn't have many opportunities. The third reason is that he was unable to compete with the young players who were brought in by Real Madrid.

Now Eden Hazard, who is in free status, is actually still in demand by several clubs from Italy. Even Eden Hazard could have chosen to reunite with Mourinho at the Roma club. But of course with the condition that Hazard must be willing to be paid less than when he was at Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard reminds me a little of the condition of Sadio Mane who really shone at Liverpool but then faded away when he played at Bayern. Sadio Mane also often gets injured. I'm afraid Mane will suffer the same fate as Eden Hazard.

Have you heard about some news like Gareth Bale can return from retirement to football? It is said that he might really return after hearing about how much Saudi Arabian teams pay for players these days.    When I first heard about the possibility I thought that we would watch him in the La Liga again. But it looks like he might only return for making an incredible amount of money for a couple of years.

After that I assume we wouldn't see him going back to the La Liga or any other top league. But this is only about a rumour until we hear the same words from Bale to verify that.

But it looks like he might only return for making an incredible amount of money for a couple of years.

Bale will take such good offers from Saudi Arabian clubs into consideration and if they pay him like a half of salary for Cristiano or Benzema, Bale will consider it carefully. He can make magnificent moments but he is no longer able to play a full match and too many matches in a season. If Saudi Arabian clubs are ready to pay him good money with limited appearances, I see Bale will not reject such offers to fill his pocket.

After that I assume we wouldn't see him going back to the La Liga or any other top league. But this is only about a rumour until we hear the same words from Bale to verify that.

No chance for Bale to return to big leagues in Europe and even he does not want it too. If he wanted it, he would have continued his career in Europe rather than moving to MLS then announcing his retirement few months later.

about two weeks after parting ways with Carlos Carvalhal, celta vigo has found the right successor for the coaching job. Rafael Benitez returns after a year and a half without a club and takes over at the spanish la liga club. for the 63-yo, who won the champions league with fc liverpool in 2005, this is his 14th stint as a professional coach. RB was last contracted to english pl club fc everton until january of last calendar year.

Eden Hazard would be one of those typical Saudi Arabia transfers or don't you think so?

With his history of injures and his age, if he wants to go back to the Premier League, the most intense league in the world and try it again with his knee? I think it was his knee that was so often injured. He would be doing better if he plays in a league that is not as intense and it is also not a big problem if he misses a few games. If he can also make a lot of money at the same time, maybe that is one of his plans. But the news from beginning of June say that there also considerations to go to the MLS.

It's quite sad to see a player like Eden Hazard have a career without certainty like now, mediocre clubs can take advantage of this situation because the market value is very low for a player like him only €5.00m, maybe there are still remnants of his greatness that he can give to clubs interested in signing him and he is still 32 years old so a few years is still possible to play, FC Montreal from MLS is reportedly interested in signing him but no further news yet.

[CLS63]

As for Eden Hazard MLS or Saudi Arabian League can really be the best places for him from now on. He hasn't even played even properly for Real Madrid since the day he was signed by the club. Injuries just ended his career during this time period. If I'm not mistaken he has missed 78 matches in total since the 2019/2020 season. I can say it wouldn't be easy for him to adapt to English Premier League football either as I see some people talking about such transfer probability.

He should just focus on where he can make more money from now on. Who knows maybe he would think of retirement after playing in one of those leagues for a couple of years.

RB was last contracted to english pl club fc everton until january of last calendar year.

Rafael Benitez is an experienced coach, and it is hoped that his experience can bring positive changes to Celta Vigo. The names of the big club names he has coached such as Real madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool. Actually I also don't doubt his ability, but for now it seems that what he has achieved will not be repeated sweetly, in the sense that I will not have high expectations for this coach, and can bring his current club to play more reorganized than last season even it became an achievement.

I haven't heard any rumours related to Hazard recently. Actually he might even go back to the Premier League but it wouldn't be one of top teams there. We might see him playing for an average level team. Teams such as Aston Villa have been interested in bringing such players recently. Maybe Hazard might be their next target in the near future.

The decline experienced by Hazard was indeed felt, he was once mentioned as one of the potential players who would have a big name, but unfortunately it seemed that luck was not on his side. He was long at Real Madrid, but from the start he joined Los Blancos he only spent his time sitting on the bench. It's really sad what happened to this player, and now he stands without certainty.

it's quite natural that Hazard chose to join a team in the saudi arabia league because of the higher salary offer and of course for the rest of his career which currently can only be done in saudi arabia with a large salary maybe he will think his life when he retires will be more comfortable but when you look at it from Hazard's performance it's not too good because it's true what you said that saudi arabia doesn't really care about performance but they prefer top players to boost interest in saudi arabia football.

The Saudis buy the best players like Messi or Ronaldo. Hazard was also once a great player, but you don't hear about him at all now. He hasn't played much lately. He is many years old and there are many questions about whether he can continue his career. It seems to me that it's not up to him to choose which club he will play for, it's up to the club to invite him. But so far no one is interested in Hazard.

It seems that Barcelona once tried to bring in a sling when coach Luis Enrique. But Enrique did not approve and chose Arda Turan from Juventus. Since with Pep from 2016 Gundongan had an extraordinary career, maybe Barcelona should be disappointed. Moins made an outstanding contribution to Man City. Today, after almost 7 years, he only joined Barcelona at the end of his football life. 32 years old is not young and maybe he can play effectively until the age of 36 only. Yes, Barcelona does not seem to have any progress to buy young players. Barcelona prefer experienced old players.

Related to what you said, it seems I forgot to remember. but as far as I can remember, Arda Turan was an Atletico Madrid player. then, Enrique brought him to Barcelona. in fact, Arda Turan played really well at the ATM. unfortunately when at Barcelona, ​​he did not get minutes of playing time.

Well, back to Gundohan. from the start as I said, it is very likely that Gundohan will partner De Jong as a pivot. why, because these two players will complement each other. like, when Busquets partnered with De Jong. The difference this time is that these two players have the same characteristics, namely being able to play two positions at once. that means, both will complement each other to complement. if this duet is ideal, Barcelona will be even stronger in their midfield. Besides that, why does Xavi still insist on signing Gundohan? besides that he can still be said to be prime with City, he is a great player even though he is no longer young. we'll see, how he will carry out his match with his new team next season.

Anyway, if I'm not mistaken previously Pep wanted to bring Busquets from Barcelona to City. we all know, by the way, that currently Barcelona is struggling in terms of hunting for players in this summer's transfer window. the financial crisis that hit them made it difficult for Barcelona to recruit the players they were after. however, at least Xavi is preparing his team to be more competitive next season.

[Docnaster]

Real Madrid selected the best players of the time for their team. But I wouldn't say that Madrid has always been successful. I think no one would disagree that Eden Hazard is a very talented player. However, he was not successful with Madrid. If he worked hard enough, maybe he could have had a great performance with Madrid. It's not just that Madrid lost money by buying Eden Hazard. Madrid also spent a lot of money on Bale. But Bale was not successful with Madrid. However, Madrid always tries to add the best players to their squad.

You blame Gareth  Bale statistic with Real Madrid and his achievement winning Champion League, La Liga and Copa del Rey, you can remember when Real Madrid winning Champion League tittle three time in a row and Bale is trio attacking line for Madrid with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. Not true about Gareth Bale is not successful with Real Madrid because he has important contribution for winning Champion League and La Liga tittles. For Eden Hazard is right as not successful transfer for Real Madrid, absent on many matches because Hazard got injured and difficult for scoring goals or assist before losing his position on left forward replacing by Vinicius Jr.

Gareth Bale's time at Real Madrid isn't and shouldn't be anywhere compared to that of his former teammate Eden Harzard time as a Real Madrid player.
Gareth Bale had a very successful career as a Real Madrid player winning the UEFA Champions League 5 times while playing a major role in four of the five times he won the European title with the Spanish giants. Eden Harzard's Real Madrid career was plagued with incessant injuries which stopped him from replicating the same performance he was known for at Chelsea. Harzard I think would've made a better impact in his Football career had he continued his career at Chelsea but the urge for bigger financial rewards and  the notion that Real Madrid is a bigger club than Chelsea lured him to the Santiago Bernabeu where he didn't play to his full football potentials again

Eden Hazard is now in a phase where he will find it difficult to find a European team, actually he can, but will he give his best and break into the main squad? well that's a concern. The Arab League is indeed a special attraction, especially for players who have indeed sunk in the game and are no longer seen. I am curious about him now, will he decide to stay in Europe and show that he is still very worthy to be the main player in the team, or will he go to Arabia following the players who have already gone there?

Yes the both players are completely different, Bale played an important role and did play very well for Real Madrid, but not with Hazard. He did not have a good performance when at Real Madrid, repeated injuries and poor performance make kept him on the bench. A little playing time also made that man performance a weak, if only Ancellotti can played it in every game when he was recovering from injury then I think Hazard performance can be a better, but no because maybe Ancellotti was not too satisfied with him.

But Hazard also didn't use the chances he got. All those injuries led him to be caught in a downward spiral, which is tough for every player to get out of, but for Hazard it seemed to be even harder as he wasn't as secure with the ball and as flexible when he tried to launch one of his speedy attacks. At no point did it make sense to compare the Chelsea Hazard with the Madrid Hazard. At Chelsea he was on top of everything.
