La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ratash]

If Barcelona sell Frenkie de Jong they would not only bring Lewandowski. I think they would be able to afford at least one more player too. However I think they shouldn't sell Frenkie de Jong. Because he is one of the crucial players for Barcelona in the midfield. They will need to fill his place in that case. They should be able to make their transfer(s) without selling their important players. Hence they would do their best to make at least one important signing for next season. For example signing Lewandowski can change everything for them.

I think they should sell him they are in need of that money and it will be really good since they would manage to sign two players and i think psg are willing to let go winjaldum so it would be good if barcelona manage to get him and lewandowski it would be as if they didn't lose an important player.

I think for at least two more seasons he will perform at his current level, and then you can think about ending his career. Especially when you come to a club like this you just have to show a good game and I am sure Robert understands that and will do everything to keep the bar high. Also, he may not be going to Barcelona

Yes you are right, at the moment he can still show his best game for at least two more seasons. Of course, this time of maturity will be used to help them win a title that has been difficult for them for several seasons. Of course the coach will not arbitrarily recruit players if the player is judged to be unable to contribute.

Lewandowski can make a good contribution. Yes, if you say he played well in Germany you can say "Spain is a different football", but Robert also played well in the Champions League and scored many goals, so for him it does not matter in which league and against which team to play, he can adapt in Barcelona

[nurilham]

Frenkie De Jong is a midfielder, Lewandowski is a striker whom I don't think they need right now (they have way so many forwards at the moment). Barça's biggest problem lies in the defense, and mark my word. They will suffer again defensively next season if they don't make any changes.

You are right. Actually, Barcelona doesn't really need a new striker or midfielder. They have enough numbers of quality strikers and midfielders. What they need are a strong center-back and a strong right-back. These two positions are the weakness of the Barcelona squad, it should be improved if Barcelona wants to dream of the La Liga title or UCL title next season. To sign a strong center-back and a strong right-back, they need a lot of money. One of the options is selling Frenkie De Jong.

It looks like De Jong will most likely be sold but it will still take a lot of time but this is not too much of a problem because the transfer market is still not nearing its end. United are now very serious and even continue to offer offers with periodic increases, I think with conditions like this even though Barcelona really want to release a full clause for De Jong but still in the end this will be released at the price United offered when the transfer was closed.

[Iranus]

Lewandowski is probably the right player for the Barcelona team. And he will be able to adapt himself to the Barcelona team very much. But it is not certain whether Lewandowski will join the Barcelona squad. He may even be with Bayern Munich next season. If that happens then Lewandowski is unlikely to be seen in a Barcelona jersey.

We'll see the development of negotiations between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Indeed there are two possibilities for Lewandowski's situation, he will most likely move if Barcelona are willing to pay the amount of money Bayern want and if not then Lewandowski will finish his contract by requiring him to stay for one more season.
It might be good for Barcelona to wait for Lewandowski to be available on a free transfer at the end of next season, so it will definitely cost Bayern Munich.

I also think that the best decision for Barcelona is going to be to wait for 1 year and after that Robert Lewandowski is going to be a free agent. Barcelona will be able to get him for free instead of giving 50 million for this player. Trust me 50 million for a 34 year old player is not worth it. I just walk that Barcelona doesn't make any overall enthusiastic transfer as they did with Philippe Coutinho and suffer later.

Both Barca and Lewandowski wants this deal to happen but Bayern want Lewandowski to continue to play for his club for the last remaining year of the contract. I am not sure what is happening behind the scenes but this obviously is putting a strain in relation ship between Bayern and Lewandowski. It is very much likely now that Lewandowski will play for Barcelona given how things stand.
Maybe next year this move is possible.

Robert Lewandowski is having some big problems with Bayern Munich recently and he really wants to move out from the club. We all know that he seems to feel really disrespected in the club. There have been a few reasons stated by him. And Bayern Munich not trying to extend his contract seems to be one of them. I cannot find the link between not trying to extend the contract at all and also not letting him leave. But, I think at this point the club should also think about the player not being happy in the club.

[blue Snow]

Lewandowski can make a good contribution. Yes, if you say he played well in Germany you can say "Spain is a different football", but Robert also played well in the Champions League and scored many goals, so for him it does not matter in which league and against which team to play, he can adapt in Barcelona

With a tic tac scheme? I don't think so, that must long time adaptation, this is a big difference between Barcelona and Munchen using the long passing ball to Lewa. maybe a little stiff when first time playing with the strategy where he must run and move quickly to outwit the opponent. Exception if he only stands in front without picking up the ball.

[minairia3]

I really don't think that spending all that money on a player who is 34 years old is going to be a good decision. Especially when they really need the money. Just think about this, getting this player obviously is going to get them better results but does it ensure them the La Liga title or maybe the Champions League title?
I don't think so and in my opinion, they are going to have a good result even without this player. Maybe if they don't get this player they will finish 4th and if they do get him they will finish second or third.

Not necessarily
At the end of the La Liga season, Barcelona was good enough to be in second place. Although in a state of improvement in the middle of the journey, it still cannot prove that next season they can remain in the same position. The presence of Lewandowski is indeed not a definite benchmark, perhaps you could say it provides a 3% jack power which is certainly not enough to balance the performance of Real Madrid, which has gone further.

I think Barcelona is looking for doing something so that they have no regrets. Imagine if they finished in the second position in La Liga and just not be able to win the league title only for 2-3 points. They are surely going to think that if they had Robert Lewandowski they could have won the league title.

And the same goes for the Champions League trophy as well. Imagine if they become the runners-up of the Champions League trophy. They are surely going to think the same about having Robert Lewandowski on the team. So, I think they are just trying to do that but we have to also keep in mind that if they get Robert Lewandowski and after that, the performance is not good they are going to be questioned a lot for their choices.

Before hiring a good player or star player, the management should realize which player will be suitable for the team. And which player can adapt well to his team. You don't just have to spend money, you have to spend money for the right players. Barcelona was spending a lot of money to buy Coutinho and Dembele. But they did not play well with the Barcelona team.

Coutinho even looks immobile during his time with Barcelona, the player Barcelona bought for $148.50 million from Liverpool was unable to perform as Barcelona expected at the start. And finally this season Barcelona official sold Philippe Coutinho to Aston Villa for a fee of $ 22.00m, after going through several seasons on loan at Munich and Aston Villa. It's a good choice instead of leaving it aimless, can Coutinho adapt to Aston Villa?

Just because of the satisfaction of some people Coutinho came to Barcelona with a big transfer fee and a lot of expectations. A player is always going to be under pressure if people are expecting a lot from him in every match and especially when he has a price tag of 148.5 million dollars on him. I never thought that Barcelona needed to pay that much money for Coutinho. And that exact thing is what people started to realize a few days after the transfer

I just walk that Barcelona doesn't make any overall enthusiastic transfer as they did with Philippe Coutinho and suffer later.

Agree, 50 million is too expensive for a player who is already 33 years old, plus the financial crisis he is currently facing. Barcelona must prevent panic transfers, so far Barcelona have made many transfers that have made them suffer because players cannot show good performances like when they played at their old club. Philippe Coutinho 145 million euros, Antoine Griezmann 120 million euros, Andre Gomes 37 million euros, Arda Turan 34 million euros. They are a series of names that are included in the list of careless purchases that have been made by Barcelona.
Waiting for another year would be the best decision, Barcelona could get Lewandowski on a free transfer, moreover they can still rely on Aubameyang who has been performing well since his arrival in the January transfer window.

[Luzin]

Yes, it seems to be very difficult to bring Lewandowski to this club. However, Bayern Munich also doesn't seem to want to let Lewandowski go. Now it's just a matter of how the negotiations will proceed and Barcelona's financial strength to make this happen.

Of course, as long as Lewandoski has a contract with Munchen he should be able to respect that. Although in some media it was stated that he wanted to leave because of his own will. Munchen have calmed down because they got Mane, although Lewandoski's form later dropped because he was not happy. But if Munchen wait until his contract runs out they will lose, because he will leave on a free transfer. I think they kept Lewandoski in for barcelona to bid even higher.

Exception if he only stands in front without picking up the ball.

With tic tac, tiki taka tactic, Aubameyang is a better option for Barcelona because he can contributr to the club at different positions. He can score goals, make connections, passingx creating space and contribute to defense by chweing ball.

Lewandowski is not a player that matches with Barcelona tactics in theory. He is a very classic striker, does not have good speed, does not have good contribution to defense. He is like Cristiank Ronaldo and I don't think Barcelona need him and don't believe he can play good in Barcelona. Ibrahimovic failed there, Mephis failed there. I don't think Lewandowski is ready to risk a few last years of his career there.

Maybe that is your opinion. Xavi certainly has different thoughts if he chooses to buy Lewandoski. Since he is the current coach of Barca, he has the right to choose players according to his needs. Defense issues might not be a big deal on his mind. Actually, I saw them having a lot of trouble if there was a quick counterattack. Some defenders often find it difficult if invited to compete running. But as long as they have the ball they still look good. But I think Xavi has another alternative, because Pique is also getting old.

[hashrateproducts]

Bale have finally sealed his new potential bid with MLS side, Los Angeles FC. Bale move on like a recommendation, because been in Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelloti is hell. Talking about his stats, he's still in good shape only if he starts seeing tight games and regular play time. Although the Walesman will still come back only that his he sign a year contract with LOs Angeles FC. Real Madrid Don't know what they have just missed, all these talks are in the past as the team have new set of young Players who delivered in games.

There could be a situation where Xavi wants to make the attack on Barcelona reliable. He also knows very well that he cannot and will not be able to rely on the defense of Barcelona after a maximum of 2 years of time.

I think he feels reliable on the defense of Barcelona right now. and he thinks Barcelona should be able to score more often. That is why he is trying to bring in a good attacker who is in form. But yes I agree, selling a good midfielder who is really reliable, Frankie de Jong, might not be the optimal decision right now.

But I think we will have to trust Xavi with his plans because since he has come as a coach of Barcelona, I don't think Barcelona can complain too much about what they have achieved in a really short time.

Gareth Bale have exits Real madrid for the MLS side this summer. The Welsh player have completed main part of paperworks of the deal and will be announced as an official signing by the Los Angeles FC soon. Bale just have a season to be LAFC and with an option to extend Contract also included. Bale will definitely make an incredible debut for Los Angeles FC because he's still in pretty shape despite Carlo Ancelloti not using him on regular occasions.

Instead of being a bench warmer for the Real Madrid team, considering that the World Cup is not far away, it is better for Gareth Bale to move like an offer that has come in, namely Los Angeles FC. If nothing goes wrong, Gareth Bale will be registered on 7 June when the MLS transfer window opens.
Coming to Real Madrid with a fantastic transfer fee, Gareth Bale finally left Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Bale is a fantastic and quality players the memories he shared with Real Madrid can't never be forgotten, he tried alot for the team but recently it seems Real Madrid head coach Carlo ancelotti is no longer interested in him, being on the bench regularly is not good for a player like Gareth bale, despite his age, I think he still has a good performing ability. A move out of los Blanco's will be a nice decision by the Welsh player cause it seems he's no longer needed in the team.

I know very well that Gareth Bale is going to get a lot more play time in his new team. But I still don't know how he made a decision like that. I think he had a lot better options than this. Even though his current performance does not suggest that he was being targeted by top tier or even mid tier teams. But I certainly think he could have done better than this. This decision of his has made me think that he is not serious about football anymore. If he was, I think he would have waited and made a better decision about his future. I am really disappointed to see this as I also think a lot of other people are.

~snip~

Usually, if something is not granted, it will cause a bad mirror later in his performance but I think Lewandowski will continue to play as well as he can even though he is still being maintained at this time.
He's also not been that bad during this time so looks probably won't be bad.

I think like this because we have a really good example in the Premier League for this situation. You must be knowing already about the Harry Kane situation. Manchester City were chasing this transfer last summer but Tottenham chairman Levy didn't let Kane go. He was really disappointed after this and this reflected on his performance too much later on. Until Conte came to the team he performed very badly.

So I'm curious about if Lewandowski will have a similar time period if he stays for one more season. I hope he doesn't of course because we all like to watch him playing great.

Luis Suarez have a plan to stayed in LaLiga after his contract ended with Atletico Madrid and rumour is currently he still thinking the offers from Villareal, Sevilla and Real Sociedad but although several times ago he linked to Barcelona but he personally don't have any plan to considering the offers from Barcelona however he indeed 35 years old but in my view he still can play with high level even his statistics during last season was not so bad with play 43 times and 12 goals in all competition

I doubt Suarez will be back to Camp Nou even if he gets attractive salary after all what happened and his tears... He is quite old and it would be better for ATM to replace him and for him to get a new experience somewhere else or return to South America.
