La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

Robert Lewandowski's arrival would affect Barcelona very positively in the coming season. I know that they already had Aubameyang but I still thought that they should have signed a top striker to compete harder in the La Liga and the Champions League both. Real Madrid had better get ready for a tough challenge this time. We still don't know what transfers we will see as there is a long time period until the end of the transfer window. These transfers can play a key role for both teams.

I agree with you, Robert Lewandowski arrival will definitely affect Barcelona positively because he has so many strategies to introduce to Barcelona for the team to remain unbeatable in next season. I believe, Barcelona coach will not miss this opportunity by bringing in talented strikers that will help the team to achieve next season title, because they don't want what happened in last season to repeat itself again in next season than to use a huge amount of money to get talented strikers that will help the team to win all the competitions.

That's enough for Barcelona and Barcelona don't have to do any more transactions because they have got great players from defenders, midfielders and strikers. I think the arrival of Lewandowski is the ultimate deal for Barcelona in this transfer window and also, even though De Jong will leave but Barcelona still have other young players in midfield. Basically the composition of Barcelona next season is very ready to become a strong team in La Liga and maybe also in the Champions League, this makes us really look forward to Barcelona's performance next season.

I just heard that Cristiano Ronaldo made Atletico his next destination. I also haven't heard for sure that Atletico want Ronaldo to be part of them next season.
But if that happens, it will be interesting to watch, because Cristiano Ronaldo is one of Atletico's crushing machines in achieving achievements. But will it happen? I personally have a little doubt.

Even I'm not sure about this. How madrid fans will be angry and insult him. I think he can go but to germany, or to france. Indeed, this rumour happened because he was also not on Man United's pre-season tour.
It's clear if Ten Hag needs him but doesn't make many regular appearances. Ten Hag thought he would be effective in the second half or the remaining 30 minutes of normal time. Maybe that's what's not satisfied with. So he tried to get out of Man United. But all new rumors. Maybe we should wait until the transfer season is up.

[ILuckyGuyI]

The possibility of Ronaldo to join Atletico Madrid is getting stronger day by day. Honestly I wasn't expecting this to happen because I thought that he would rather playing for Real Madrid. But it seems like he doesn't care about it as long as he plays in the Champions League. He was one of the players Atletico Madrid were afraid of the most when he was playing for Real Madrid. He is getting old now of course but he is still very strong and capable. We saw how he performed last season.

Celta Vigo had terminated Okay Yokuşlu's contract, and West Bromwich Albion signed a contract with Okay. Okay was a good player, he could have been a good alternative in the rotation. I don't understand why they gave up on him so easily.
He didn't play badly in West Bromwich Albion and Getafe, where he went on loan tow seasons in a row. Celta Vigo paid 6 million Euro for him and gave up the player very easily. He deserved another chance.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I think Real Madrid doesn't react much to this transfer. Lewandowski moved to Barcelona, yes, Barcelona fought for a very long time for this transfer, but so far it does not mean anything, neither for Real nor for Barcelona itself. Wait until the season starts and Lewandowski starts scoring goals for Barcelona. I am still very skeptical about this transfer, Barcelona are betting too much on Lewandowski, this is not right.

Why are you skeptical about this transfer? Is there any doubt that Lewandowski is a talented and experienced player? However, having played in the Bundesliga for a long time, Lewandowski may need some time to adapt to the La Liga gameplay. But since he is experienced, he probably knows well how to adapt to a new team. And the coach of Barcelona now is Xavi. I think he can stabilize the team well.

I have no doubt that Lewandowski will make a big contribution in his first season but I am a little surprised by what Barcelona are doing in this transfer market, they continue to bring in players who play as strikers while they already have a lot of players who play as strikers. but that's how an unstable team wants to improve, they do a lot for the best results.
whereas Real Madrid didn't do much because they still had the best squad that could win Europe last season, maybe that's the reason they are not active in the hunt for players in this transfer market.

I think Xavi will decide to sell some of his strikers. Barcelona does not need so many strikers. It would be profitable for Barcelona to make money by selling them. Braithwaite and Dembele are not needed in the team. At the same time, Xavi may decide to sell Depay. Because Barcelona now has Aubameyang and Lewandowski for centre-forwards.
Real Madrid is happy with their squad. Because they have managed to win two important titles, Champions League and La Liga. They still wanted Mbappe in the team. But Mbappe rejected their offer. Real Madrid's only goal now is to strengthen the defence and midfield.

If you pay for your solutions then no problem. If Barcelona wants to get rid of De Jong so much, then let them pay him a penalty for breaking the contract, if they don’t want to pay, then let them shut up and fulfill the contract. You understand that both parties have obligations in the contract and De Jong has the right to refuse the sale to United or wherever.

I very much agree with this. The reason why Barca is pushing because they want to make their financial position better. And with Barcelona having financial problems, it is possible that they might have problem giving him better contract or at worse unable to pay him wages in full. De Jong currently at this point can't have both - to pay for the club and take the usual wages. He has to choose one. Yes he has right to make personal decisions but someday in future if situation remains the same then he has to make a decision then also.

Still I think Barca is kinda putting veil on some things with their financial situation. They want him to reduce his wages but can make world class signings? That's kinda put some questions. I am not so sure how much they are paying to the new signings but these new signings will for sure will be still putting a good amount of load in wages.

Why do you think so? Are you suggesting Barcelona have the audacity to put him on the bench on principle and continue to pay him his full salary? I don't think so because it would be suicidal stupid. If De Jong has balls, then he will easily get both, he just have to refuse the moronic offers that the club's management makes him.

Cristiano insists on leaving United and is keen to go to Atletico. Although the sources are decent for this but it feels kinda wrong for Ronaldo to even attempt going to Atletico. That being said, he has huge respect for Atletico and the club's board are always in to sign a marquee player for the sales etc. Not saying it will happen but if it does, it wont surprise me.

simeone once said, "if cristiano wasn't there (real madrid) then we would have got the UCL trophy"

if this happens (cristiano to atletico) then the spanish league will be the most highlighted in the world (because of benzema at madrid, lewandowski at barca and cristiano at atletico). but I'm just like you, I'm also still doubting whether cristiano wants to go to atletico.

Memphis Depay's condition in the team is still ambiguous for now. He is talking to Barcelona board and there are some new updates about it. The team are likely to let him go if he wants to leave this summer. They seem even ready to sell him for a low transfer fee. Considering that they have signed him on a free transfer it is normal I believe. Depay seems likely to leave only if he finds a big team for himself. He still wants to be a part of a strong team at the end of the day.

Barcelona again treat their players very bad. Messi 2 seasons ago and now De Jong. The player was a hope of Barcelona when he came and after some seasons in Catalan, De Jong has good contribution for the club. He is one of best players there in a worst period of the club in last 10 years.

Then now all of his contribution is nothing and the club is treating him like a bad player on transfer market. No plan to use him in a new season and need budget for transfers with younger and better players, ok it is fine but they should treat him fairer and with more respect.

The position of Mephis in Barcelona was at risk after Koeman was sacked and Xavi came. In last season, Xavi did prefer to use Dembele and Memphis did not have too good opportunity. Xavi tried to sign a new contract with Dembele, many times and finally he stays. It can be the end for Memphis career in Barcelona.

He failed at Manchester United, revived his career at Lyon but failed again in Barcelona.

Depay is in a dilemma whether he will be kept or will be discarded even at a low price but it seems that Barcelona is more focused on the others being his target target, especially now that Lewandowski comes of course he will not get a good place, one of them wants to move his career more to find a team that right because I believe Xavi's plan is not Depay as the main player.
On the other hand, Barcelona is also still eyeing several players who are on its transfer radar, there is a possibility that this player can be brought in again to Barcelona.

When Koeman left and Xavi took office, actually Memphis Depay could not be said to be safe and now the presence of Raphinha and Lewandowski has clearly undermined his chances of playing like him.
There are 2 things he can do at the moment, namely go to find a new club or stay with the record that he will definitely not get anything and Barcelona will slowly kick him out because his salary is also burdensome.

Memphis Depay plays in the central forward position. And Barcelona now has two experienced players, Aubameyang and Lewandowski for this position. In this situation, the need for Depay in the Barcelona team has decreased. And so Xavi may decide to sell Depay very soon. Even with the Barcelona team, I don't think Depay will get a chance to play a match.

Barcelona the arrival of Lewandowski and Aubameyang in attacking positions and make the current stock of front line players have accumulated, apart from that it is all barcelona obligation to release some players so as not to conflict with the current La Liga authority regulations, so I think after signing Rapinha and Lewandowski then it looks like in the near future there will be a barcelona player who will leave the camp nou and i think the most likely those players are de jong and depay.

[kro55]

Yups... Hopefully Lewandowski can help in realizing the hopes of Barcelona fans to bring Barcelona back to life this season. because as we know last season barcelona had a bit of a problem. and of course his biggest hope is in this season barcelona can show its strength again.

Barcelona was not stable last season. Although Barcelona's performance improved after Xavi became coach, their performances were not consistent. They were having trouble to scoring. And so this season they brought in Lewandowski. Hopefully, if Lewandowski can adapt to the Barcelona team, we will see at least 25 goals from Lewandowski.

They quickly realized what their weaknesses were last season, and when the transfer market opened, they moved even though they encountered several obstacles, which were none other than their financial factors that did not improve. But now they had got something they wanted. It's just a matter of how they execute what they have today.

Xavi probably understands Barcelona's weaknesses very well. But still he could not stabilize the team completely. Barcelona had some trouble scoring in the previous season. But after Torres and Aubameyang came into the team, this problem was greatly reduced. But Barcelona's defense was weak. Although the forward is strong, Xavi has not yet strengthened the defense. Maybe Barcelona will add a few more players to the squad this season.

I think i understand Depay's concern, Barcelona have brought in new quality players, and the competition for places in the team is going to be tough, Depay is only trying to be sure that he is still in the managers plans for next season, so he doesn't come into the season and sit on the bench for the most part of it, i'm pretty sure what is most important to him is playing time. Even if they do not sell him this summer, Depay might likely leave in the January (2023) transfer window if he is not happy with his game time from the beginning of the season (August) till then.

It should be with the arrival of their new players at this time even though they came on a free transfer but they now have to feel relieved because they are more able to maintain stability in defense.
We know that the current Barcelona defense is very fragile, apart from that the players there are quite old in my opinion so there must be an update and Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié has actually been a good thing for them.

It's been 7 years since Barca won the champions League and hopefully this period from 2022 to 2023 there would be a change with the signing of Lewandoski and Rafinha. Rafinha is a king creating chances and lewandoski and expert in finishing them. I think that two successful signings. I expect from them a great contribution to the welfare of the Club, Barcelona is a team and depends on all its players and not just one, no matter how good they are.

[püsür]

La Liga will once again be one of the biggest leagues. The quality of the league is increasing with Barcelona taking Lewandowski first and now Ronaldo coming to Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid already have Benzema. The three great players of the three great teams will take the league to the next level. La Liga, which has experienced a great loss of prestige with the leave of Messi and Ronaldo in recent years, will be the second biggest league again this season.

[1kodumtek7]

Barcelona are still going on with their transfers. After completing the signing of Lewandowski they are going for Jules Kounde now as it seems. It has been on the news that they are going to make an offer for him to Sevilla soon. As you might have heard already, Chelsea are also targeting him now. In this race the winner might be Barcelona in my opinion. Barcelona are still unstoppable about transfers even though they are in big debt. I wonder when they will stop.

He probably wants a team that can take the salary from Barcelona and be ambitious, probably Memphis. Because he is came free, Barcelona can send it without asking for a very high transfer fee, which makes sense to me. I guess they want to get rid of the salary they're going to give him.  My guess is it could go to EPL.
