Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Ho early it is very hard to make into Guardiola team. He himself checks if a player can play according to him. Take Grealish for example who hasn't seen much of playing time given his calibre. Haaland will also be treated same is what I feel but he can change that if he meets Guardiola demands.

Thank you very much mate. I have imagined how Haaland is going to fit into Guardiola's team. I sincerely doubt if he will fit easily. If eventually he fits easily, it will surely affect the performance of other players. Guardiola is not a coach that depends on standing number 9 to get his goals. He is not used to it. And frankly saying, the likes of Foden would not create the needed chances for Haaland.
Assuming Guardiola is a man that believes in number 9 player, the presence of Grealish, Marehz and Haaland would have given him a deadly attack 
Let us watch how he will handle the situation.

Chelsea have big one problem they are facing currently, which is their defense line. Their defense, definitely it's going to concede much goals next season if the management fails to sign new quality defenders this summer. Kounde might be a good target for Tuchel only if he beats other teams to sign the tough guy. I suggest the blues should make him their top priority and also go for other top defenders that will eventually replace Christensen who is also leaving the team this summer.

they are really messed up at the moment on defence.
In addition to Rudiger who has agreed with Madrid, currently Azpilicueta is still in uncertainty and has an indication that he will also leave Stamford Bridge.
obviously this is a pretty big loss and they need to find a replacement as soon as possible because otherwise as you say they will have serious problems in defense

[Altryist]

Many people will be looking forward to how Haaland can adapt to the competition as well as the strategy in his new team. As a fan I am certainly optimistic that Haaland will be a scary sticker at Manchester City after he proved that with Dortmund. It might be difficult at first because he has to be quite familiar and have a good relationship with his team-mates on and off the pitch, but for a striker I think it will be easy because he is the main target of his team-mates to score goals.

Maybe it would be different if Haaland wasn't a sticker, it's like left or right wing because I think the difficulty of adapting would be very different. Haaland is not the type of player who can be relied on to dribble past several opposing players, but he is a striker whose job it is to scored into the opponent's goal.

Manchester City is the team that is able to create many scoring chances per match, it is difficult to imagine a better environment for a striker. Haaland is young and full of desire to score, I hope that the adaptation will be quick, Guardiola knows how to maintain the atmosphere in the team, I think he fits well into City's attacking football model. Moreover, now is the off-season and there will be some time to play with the team.

I really believe in Guardiola's ability to make Haaland a dangerous player as a striker. Haaland has a strong physique, he has good pace and his positioning is also good so I really wouldn't doubt it. His first season for sure people have a lot of expectations on Haaland and he has to prove it but I hope it doesn't frustrate him and affect his adaptation to his new team.

Mahrez, Foden and De Bruyne as well as several other Manchester City midfielders will help Haaland adapt in his first season. I thought they would be happy with Haaland coming, but otherwise Jesus probably wouldn't be all right.

It is true that this season the focus of Chelsea is looking for a defender after being left some important players Chelsea have been eyeing 8 players to take over positions
There are at least 2 candidates to be contract Jules Kounde and Josko Gvardiol Leipzig player these two players will be a priority and there are still 6 other alternative players

Earlier this season, Chelsea performed well enough. But gradually their performance will continue to be weak. And at the end of the season, their performance becomes completely unstable. Their defense needs to be strengthened next season. I don't think Chesley's team is weak. But their strategy needs to change. Changing the strategy may improve their performance.

The season ended well with Manchester City carrying the highest point but some fans wanted liverpool to come top but Liverpool early performance have affected their point from the beginning of the season.

[judas]

I'm curious about how this transfer window will go for the best teams in the league now: Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Manchester City have already made a huge signing actually by adding Erling Haaland to the squad. I assume they won't go for new big transfers as long as they don't lose any important player. Gundogan is rumoured to leave this summer so maybe they would like to fill his place then. Chelsea have already lost Rudiger and Lukaku is likely to leave too. They will need to take important actions because of this. Mane is close to leaving Liverpool so I wonder what player Liverpool will bring in his place then.

apart from Gundogan the rumors about Gabriel Jesus are still there for now and of course this will leave a lot of void in the midfield.
They seemed to have to prepare to hunt again.
for Chelsea I don't really know about this but for Liverpool they are also preparing now considering they have to find a replacement for Mane now and there are already a few names out there

I have no doubts about Guardiola's ability to bring out the best that Haaland has. Haaland should indeed be able to develop better at Man City,
because besides Man City having Guardiola, Haaland will also be supported by teammates who have very good quality. Hopefully Haaland can adapt
quickly, and can immediately prove that he is one of the best strikers in the world by scoring many goals for Man City. I have to admit that
the joining of Haaland to Man City, make Man City a bigger chance to defend the Premier League trophy, and it is also possible that Man City can win
the Champions League trophy next season. Unlike Liverpool who are likely to lose their best striker this year, after Sadio Mane refused to extend
his contract with Liverpool and chose to move to another team this year. Hopefully Liverpool can get a replacement for Mane soon, otherwise Liverpool
will have a hard time competing with Man City.

Thomas Tuchel has a big work in this summer transfer because he  has lost lot of his top defender's, Toni Rudiger left for Real Madrid, Christensen will be playing for Barcelona for free they nearly lost ceaser azpilicueta to Barcelona if not for late change of mind, Thomas Tuchel will have to replace Rudiger with a good defender, I think kounde is a good option but he should not be the only one they should be targeting incase he take too much time to adapt to the premier League.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Chelsea are a closed book now when it comes to their transfer activity in this summer. They already started in a negative way as they lost Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid. They lost a wonderful defender like him on a free transfer which must be really devastating for them. They would have made a nice amount of profit at least. Anyway, Kounde seem like he will fill his place in the starting eleven. I wonder what Tuchel's strategies will be in the summer transfer window. Chelsea already have a good squad but it wouldn't be bad to add a few more players to be more powerful.

Chelsea are having lot of problems. Its not only Rudiger but also Christensen and Alonso on the list to leave Chelsea. Chelsea should have proceeded with contract extensions earlier as other clubs were fast enough to talk to them and convince them to join them. Azpilicueta was also out of contract and clubs were also after him but he choose to continue at Chelsea. Even if Kounde joins, they will still need few more defenders in their defence line.

Yeah, they are very close to losing those two important players also. If they lose Christensen and Rudiger at the same time, it would be huge for them. Let's say they signed Kounde to put him in Rudiger's place then I wonder whether they would think of signing another defender. On the other hand, they have many defenders in the team already. I assume that they would choose a Kounde - Thiago Silva duo in that case. If Alonso also leaves, it would affect their attacking line significantly. He is a very important part of the team still.

Actually, Chelsea still has center-defenders, but they are not as strong as Rudiger and Christensen. Rudiger prefers to leave because of Real Madrid offer. There is no way to defend him because he is no longer interested to play as a Chelsea player. But Chelsea can keep Christensen by extending his contract, I don't understand why Chelsea didn't do it.    Yes, now Chelsea needs 1-2 top center-defenders, they need to be actively looking for strong CBs right now. I still don't see the best candidate to replace Rudiger & Christensen, but Chelsea may consider some top CBs from Serie A. I think it is a good idea to sign CBs from the Italia league, they are famous with great defenders there. Regarding Kounde, I don't think Chelsea can sign him as many top clubs want to sign him as well.

[RealMalatesta]

Haaland is a young player I'm sure he can adapt quickly and the Premier League is a challenge for the world's top players they will be more recognized if they manage to make some good records such as top score and others.

That's right, from any angle, Haaland is a pretty good young player at the moment, you could even say he is the most prominent player after Mbappe.
The EPL is the league with the best level of competition at the moment and it is clear that this will be one of the challenges for Haaland.
he has to adjust the EPL fast play for now because many people fail to adjust this and if he also fails it will be hard for him to shine

He is definitely the next superstar after Mbappe, there is no denying that. Plus he was in a position that City direly needed as well. They need a superstar striker and they got one, if Haaland was the next superstar defender for example, it wouldn't really mean this much, but since he is a striker, and one that is so strong and fast that he would definitely adjust to EPL very well, and I believe that he could score enough to even challenge top scorer of the league next season with such a great team as well.

So, this transfer was the one that they did very well, the best one they had for a long time, it is going to change so much of the clubs future for sure. And this isn't like Newcastle we are talking about, they are already amazing.

Please Christensen wasn't one of our best defenders or strong favorite for that matter, he was already out of favor by the manager for his constant mistakes and if you were watching Chelsea matches, you'll notice he wasn't feature regular unless others were not fit. Among all the defenders interested in leaving, Rudiger departure is what could be a problems as it'll be difficult to find someone to replace him and give both the performance and energy he brings to the team.

We have Chalobah as a central back, and Kounde has been on Chelsea radar for quite sometime now, we should be able to get a deal with him soon and bring him over. Chelsea defender could be easily sorted out with one or two good signing, my major concern is our forward, we lack players with attacking threat and seriously need to sort that out before the season resumes.

I also think that Haaland should not have any special problems with adapting to the requirements of the English Premier League. But there is one rather significant "but", namely the player's health, about which Real Madrid had some doubts. Still, I think that the English Premier League is more intense in terms of play and loads than the Bundesliga, and no matter how it turns out to be even more traumatic for the player. As for Newcastle, I would like to say the following: Manchester City has already laid a certain foundation, and Newcastle is now practically being built in a new way.

Well rudiger wanted by real madrid since long time ago and only few could refuse an offer from the likes real madrid though.
Christensen leaving chelsea with a heavy feeling as both parties didn't find a win win solution to extend the contract and the chelsea board prefer to let him go then looking for the replacement.

So far kounde become chelsea top priority , the player wants chelsea badly but sevilla seems the one that become a problem of this transfer.

Arsenal must be very frustrated to lose their Champions League chance by their poor performance on the final weeks of the season. Tottenham also deserved to qualify for it of course but Arsenal were doing a better job for them for some time actually. However they couldn't maintain this form on the most critical weeks. They really need to strengthen the lineup now to play bigger next season. They have a potential and they can bring it out by signing a good centre-forward.

Yes I'm sure Arsenal will be actively hunting for new players this season at least to replace aubameyang Arsenal can't compete with the current squad
So far I haven't heard which player Arsenal are targeting looks like they are monitoring while looking at the profitable players 
We know Arsenal is not a team that likes to buy expensive players.

Arsenal are indeed not a team that splurge on a player like there is no tomorrow. However it looks like they will do this when it comes to signing a good striker. Gabriel Jesus seems close to them in the summer. He might cost them quite big but Arsenal need to pay a decent amount of money to be able to have better seasons in the Premier League. A striker has been the thing they need for a long time and he would be a good addition.

He is linked to Arsenal and Spurs. He is 25 and his contract expires the next year.
With Haaland in City and Alvarez too, I think him and Sterling who has his contract expires in a year too, might see City letting them leave the team better than losing them free next year.
