Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Avirunes]

According to The Guardian, Liverpool have agreed a 100 million euros worth deal. It is a verbal agreement for now but I think that it would be official very soon. I'm quite happy to see Liverpool finishing this deal successfully because I believe that he is going to strengthen them in terms of scoring a lot. People who followed him or checked his statistics must be already knowing that he was really great last season. Liverpool already have strikers like Firmino and Jota but Darwin Nunez has the potential to be way better than them.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jun/11/liverpool-agree-100m-deal-to-sign-darwin-nunez-from-benfica?CMP=share_btn_tw

Nunez is in Spain right now as last reported by Romano and he will fly tomorrow to England with his agent. Tomorrow medical will be done and his transfer will be confirmed in a day or two after then. They do have striker problem now with Jota and Firmino already usually facing lack of proper game time.

It's a done deal.

Liverpool aren't making bad decisions about their transfers easily. They signed Luis Diaz while many people weren't even expecting a transfer like that for example. His performance so far has been really impressive to me. I think he has already proven his quality and he would do even better next season. Taking this fact into account, I believe Darwin Nunez would also be a great choice for them. He is a wonderful striker and a promising one as well. He is only 22 now and I hope he can contribute well to them for long years.

Darwin Nunez is also another pacy one which will really sharpen Liverpool's attack in next season. Just imagine Diaz, Nunez and Salah ..yikes    .

With Mane's desire to move clubs, it is hoped that the presence of Nunez will be able to further sharpen Liverpool's front line. if you still remember how Nunez (when benfica met liverpool in the UCL) overwhelmed the liverpool defense then i believe nunez's future at liverpool will be very bright.

Yes, Darwin Nunez is suitable move to Liverpool he is one of the talented young players Nunez set several records in the Primeira league with Benfica
scored 26 goals in a season at once and became the top scorer there even he did it at 22 years old means Nunez can still improve his talent with Liverpool
But are Liverpool willing to pay €100 million? we know Liverpool is a team that is difficult to spend a lot of money to buy players

Chelsea still have many options for midfield and defender positions. In my opinion, Chelsea is not optimal in attacking positions because the arrival of Romelu Lulaku does not play much of a role, so Kai Havertz becomes the focus of Chelsea's attack even though his original position is not a center forward.

Since the problem with the coach because of his statement he has been unable to perform optimally. Maybe the thought of him was out of chelsea, even though it had been happening for a long time. When he was given the opportunity to play in the last few games he looked very bad. It seems that he is so heavy with his body. In fact I see his touch is very bad. His controls don't even deserve to play in the EPL. If he's going to leave, I think Tuchel will easily take it off because he doesn't contribute much to chelsea.

It doesn't seem appropriate to compare countries and clubs. But you have to know Rangnik led Austria to a 3-0 win over Croatia. Remember this is Rangnick's first debut. So if you look at this of course I'm sure here is not Rangnick who makes Man United bad, but I think there are mental and motivational problems from the Man United players. That's what Rangnick hasn't been able to overcome at Man United. So at the moment Ten Hag's decision to sell some players and let them go is the best move for Man United's progress. But I'm also not sure next season Man United will be good and stable.

Rangnick did not have much time to prove his worth at Manchester United as a coach. I don't know which players he brought to Manchester United during his time in charge. But I can think of something different about Ten Hag, he has more trust from the Manchester United management to buy some players and sell others. Do you realize it?

Apart from not having a lot of time Rangnick is also required to restore a team that has fallen and this is clearly quite difficult to re-establish trust like this and is tantamount to making something that has been broken into one whole again.
It would be very difficult even if he could and it was true that his time was also limited. On the other hand, it's not only the coach who has a problem, but the players and management also have the same role and this season, MU has been very chaotic in many ways.

xavi (barcelona coach) managed to restore barcelona that was more broken than manchester united and he did it in record time, that is, he restored barcelona in the same season and missing a few games to finish the la liga. Manchester united is a team that has money so how would Rangnick need more time? xavi restored barcelona which didn't even have good players but he managed to restore barcelona in a short time even with limited funds so what else would rangnick need? 1 year? 2 years? 3 years? this makes no sense, if he was a good coach manchester united would have finished at least in position 4 and would be in the champions league.

It's necessary to face that Rangnick was not a good coach, and even this Ten Hag doesn't need to take more than 1 season to get things right, it's already been proven that any good coach can get good results in a short time, it's enough that he's in a team that has money, and manchester united has money

Romelu Lukaku shouldn't have come to Chelsea in the first place. He already had a great place and amazing performance while he was playing for Inter. His scoring performance was too great and he made a great duo with Lautaro Martinez also. We can see this duo performing nearly the same if Lukaku returns to Inter. Whether it is a loan or permanent move, he should just go back there. Chelsea still did a good job with Kai Havertz maybe but I think they would still need a better striker.

Interesting analysis about 10 years which is not backed up by anything, you must be guessing well? The last time they were close to the championship was in 15-16, if I'm not mistaken, but I don't see why they won't win another 10 years or come close to winning, that expression sounds like a finger in the sky to me.

Unless indeed one day there is a big company or maybe a big Sheikh who buys a club like what happened to City a few years ago this might happen because indeed everything will be different when you have money
Many real examples such as when in the early 2000s Chelsea were bought by Abramovich and they had a chance to become champions and City were bought by the Sheikh of the Middle East and now they are also regular champions so when something like this happens to Tottenham it will be possible.

Do you think it will make a difference? Well logically, good transfers will start, lots of players will be bought who can improve the squad and the game itself. But Tottenham already seem to have a good team, of course they need some adjustments in the squad, but I do not think that without the sheiks here, the club budget is quite enough for a couple of necessary transfers

Obviously, the wealth of an Investor who is behind makes a better impact. Look at Chelsea in the early 2000s when Abramovich started there. See also City who started to be more active when Sheikh Mansour started to intervene in 2008 on the other side that is more recent maybe in Ligue 1, namely PSG. Everything becomes inversely proportional when the power of money begins to come to a team that was originally ordinary, it becomes a great team when the money is in hand so that the team and the people behind it cannot be separated.
Now for Tottenham we are from the start it was about 10 years and that's speculation isn't it. we don't know what will happen in the future. We don't even know the surprise when Newcastle was bought by another wealthy Sheikh last season when that hasn't happened yet.

Of course money is power, having these big money investors owning clubs is a boost and a good investment option. Take a look at teams like Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester city and now Newcastle being able to sign world class players and building a formidable team strong enough to compete at all levels of competition and winning trophies.

much better than Lukaku, even though Havertz is not a pure striker. Lukaku should not have returned to the Premier League after his previous failure
with Man United. Even though many people around Lukaku reminded him to stay at Inter, but Lukaku was still determined to move back to Chelsea
and it turned out that Lukaku's performance was very disappointing. Fortunately, currently Inter are still willing to accept Lukaku back, even though
Inter will sign Lukaku on a loan scheme. At least Lukaku's future is getting clearer, because Lukaku will most likely play again next season with Inter.

It's quite difficult at the moment for Lukaku because it will be very difficult if the desire is gone then he will continue to play badly like this.
The statement there already indicated that he did not want to be at Chelsea but it was his fault that he initially accepted Chelsea back even though it was clear that the big teams in the EPL did not really fit the pattern of play he was running.

[Pulsar77]

Chelsea are focused on making defender transfers now rather than the other positions I guess. Because Rudiger and Christensen both are gone at the same time and they will need to bring at least one defender to fill Rudiger's place especially. Kounde is the best option and Chelsea seem to be close to signing him now. After this deal is completed, I think Chelsea should go for a striker as well. Because we are all aware that Lukaku can leave in this summer. They can also join the race for Lewandowski seriously.

[martyns]

Jurgen Klopp really knows what he wants from players before bringing them in, Fabinho for instance brings stability to his midfield, and he wants someone that want's the ball and create something and still don't shake the balance of the team then he went for Thiago Alcantara, firmino was not scoring goals like Mane and Mohamed Salah then he brought Jota to the squad,then later Liverpool attack started to be predictable and they started dropping point and losing track on Manchester City then in January he sign Luis Diaz and they close the gap on Manchester City,now he wants Darwin Nunes.

Liverpool boss knows the perfect players to sign during the transfer window. He don't just get up and sign player who are not needed or can't fit in the football pattern of Liverpool. Check out when he sign Chamberlain from Arsenal, back then he knows the potential and value of Oxlade. He only goes for players he needs and also who will impact the squad, like Jota, Fabinho and Luiz Diaz. These are remarkable signings of Liverpool and he likes to keep it that way.

Judging from the performance of the Liverpool team in past and recent season, Klopp is doing a really job scouting and bringing in these talents that come in and fit in immediately to the style and the way the play. Klopp knows exactly what he want and the kind of players to fit in his style of play. With rumours of Mane to leave he has recruited Diaz and now about bringing in Darwin Nunes to support Firmino and add more fire power to their front line. That is class and we rarely see this kind of moves in modern day football

Yes, Chelsea needs to focus on signing strong center-backs first because Rudiger and Christensen have left. Kounde may be a good option but I think they will have some competitors because there are some clubs interested to sign Kounde. Chelsea should have some options, don't focus on Kounde only, I don't think they will be easy to sign Kounde. Regarding to join the competition on signing Lewandowski, I think it isn't a good idea because Lewandowski must choose Real Madrid or Barcelona than joining Chelsea.

Taking this fact into account, I believe Darwin Nunez would also be a great choice for them. He is a wonderful striker and a promising one as well. He is only 22 now and I hope he can contribute well to them for long years.

Let's expect for a positive outcome from this step that Liverpool is into and i believe Nunez will deliver very good beyond expectations, considering his tender age as well, i think that is another added advantage even though many players were found to drastically reduce their age to football age requirement because of their career but nevertheless having a new sign of player like him will be of more advantage to Liverpool.

[lulumiya]

I would also agree that Liverpool are doing a good job about choosing the right players to sign. I think that they will sign Darwin Nunez no matter what. I mean even if Mane stays they would still go on because Nunez is more of a striker rather than a winger. After this transfer happens I wonder if they will sell one of the Jota - Firmino duo. If Mane stays one of those players might really leave and that player should be Firmino then. Because his performance was way worse compared to Jota last season. Or they can sell Origi as well as he isn't finding many chances.

Chelsea did give the green light to let Lukaku go, because as you said, Lukaku is not contributing to Chelsea. Even Kai Havertz's performance is
much better than Lukaku, even though Havertz is not a pure striker. Lukaku should not have returned to the Premier League after his previous failure
with Man United. Even though many people around Lukaku reminded him to stay at Inter, but Lukaku was still determined to move back to Chelsea
and it turned out that Lukaku's performance was very disappointing. Fortunately, currently Inter are still willing to accept Lukaku back, even though
Inter will sign Lukaku on a loan scheme. At least Lukaku's future is getting clearer, because Lukaku will most likely play again next season with Inter.

Don't you know if Lukaku has a problem there? He didn't get enough time to play and he seems uncomfortable with his situation in Chelsea. This problem leads to a lack of contribution for Chelsea. Lukaku is an experienced, skilled, and quality center forward, no one doubts his capability. He proves it in Inter Milan and in his national team. If he can play regularly in Chelsea and everyone supports him, he must contribute much to Chelsea. So, please don't blame Lukaku.

Anyway, I agree if it is the time to leave Chelsea, Lukaku needs to move to a club that wants to respect him. Inter Milan, AC Milan, or maybe other top clubs will try to sign him.

The club has a head coach who decides whether he needs a football player or not. Tuchel has already proved his worth with his results and it is not the business of a football player to indulge in arguments about the tactics of his club and his playing time. A football player should go out and prove his worth on the field, and not with his arguments on this topic to journalists. By the way, former Inter footballer Antonio Cassano said on this occasion that Inter should not take the player back, because when leaving Lukaku said that he was leaving for the team of his dreams. Cassano is also worried that he will have to sell Lautaro Martinez because of this.

I believe the rumor has it.

As long as the price is matched , romelu lukako will be alliwed to leave .. otherwise he will stay and everyone have to figure out how he could contributing 100% fir the club.
He still has that potential and love for chelsea , he could rise back this season but yeah in case he leaving .. it must be at the right price so we could find a better option at the front.

[Velvet78]

Romelu Lukaku has had a very visible problem with Chelsea so far. It was all over the news some time ago too and if I'm not mistaken Tuchel said something about this situation too. Lukaku really looks like he wants to leave soon and join Inter side. He was happy there too so it would be for the benefit of him to return. Inter also seem willing to have him back now. Chelsea just don't want this deal to be permanently as they prefer a loan move. It would still be okay for Inter I presume.

Lukaku has been saying for at least six months that he is not satisfied with his position at Chelsea.
From controversial statements to a weak performance on the football field, Lukaku is a player who could have already been dismissed to follow other directions, because then neither he nor Chelsea are winning.
Unfortunately his performance wasn't what we expected him to be at Chelsea 8 years ago, but I don't blame him... he just couldn't fit in.
I'm rooting for Lukaku to return to Inter Milan where he had a good performance.

[Jody.Drummer]

Until now I have not seen any new players that Manchester United are targeting, whether they are working in silence or are they still looking for players if they really need it. They have to act fast for the transfer market because if they slow down, they could lose the players they want because they lose quickly to other clubs.

For now Manchester United seems to focus their target on De Jong. various information currently manchester united has reached a personal agreement with De Jong. But Barcelona put a price of € 100 million for the club who wanted to get De Jong. Manchester United's first offer of €60 million plus additional funds has been rejected by Barcelona. There is no recent news from Manchester United whether they are willing to make a second bid for Barcelona or will choose to retreat to get De Jong.

Indeed, in this case it seems that Barcelona will only issue De Jong at almost the same price when he was brought to the Camp Nou but this seems to be difficult because the price does not seem to match his current performance.
On the other hand, at this time, MU also seems to be increasingly interested in making Van De Beek the main choice now that the Rangnick Era and Ole's Era have been wasted.
