Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem likely to join Manchester United according to latest news. Because it is said that Barcelona have added him to their squad for their tour also. This must be meaning that they are willing to keep him at the team. On the other hand there are some rumours like two sides have reached an agreement about a deal like €75m + €10m bonus. I really don't know what to believe now.    Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess.

Indeed, from the start the rumors about his move to Manchester United seemed like there was no clear continuation. But now if he was really on the pre-season tour roster, he would most likely stay at Barcelona. But on the other hand, Barcelona have spent a lot of money to sign their new players. But whether they will sell de Jong to cover the money they spent or not.

It seems that Erik Ten Hag plan to recruit his former men to Manchester United failed miserably, because Barcelona have confirmed that they will not sell De Jong in the transfer market this season. The inclusion of De Jong name into the list of Barcelona players participating in the pre-season tour to the United States further clarifies De Jong future, especially since De Jong has told his colleagues that he will not leave Barcelona. Erik Ten Hag must forget De Jong, looking for another player would be a good option for Manchester United before the transfer window closes.

De Jong can come to Manchester United if they play Champions League.
Another move that can force him out will be the move of Bernado Silva at Man City to Barcelona.
I know he has a good relationship with Ten Hag, settling down in the squad won't be hard.

True, I also think that Manchester United still needs a midfielder who can be more creative in passing the ball into the opponent's defense line. So far I haven't seen that figure, Bruno Fernandez couldn't do better in that role, although he's still reliable. But still I haven't seen any outstanding players in Manchester United's midfield right now.

I think have enough with Manchester United looking for player position midfielder, losing Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic have filled by Eriksen and I think right now Manchester United have completed player on midfielder, about attacking midfielder I think Bruno Fernandez and Cristian Eriksen filled slot, with holding midfielder have Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek. Maybe with 4-4-2 formation adopt by Erik Tan Hag he just need two midfielder only between attacking and holding midfielder. I think Manchester United just try find new central forward, although if Ronaldo keep stay still need to find central forward have scoring goal soul.

Yes. The latest news is that Frenkie De Jong has joined the Barcelona squad for the tour. De Jong still wants to stay at Barca even though the club has agreed to a fee of 75 million + 10 million in addition as said by Fabrizio Romano.

For me, Manchester United already have Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernades, Freed and most recently Cristian Eriksen. All of the players mentioned above have the same position as De Jong and their roles can also be like De Jong.
So, it is better if the club nicknamed the red devils turns attention to other players who are much cheaper but the process is not laborious.

Even in this case I have heard of this contract extension several months ago but so far it has not been implemented.
Saka has become a pretty good player this season and indeed Arsenal should immediately make a contract extension here, especially there are several big clubs who really want his services for next season because indeed some time ago there were rumors about Liverpool and City also wanted his services even though it seemed like it was. now it's not anymore but still Saka must be permanently in a new contract.

Yes, Saka had become the target of Manchester City in the transfer market this summer. Bukayo Saka who is still very young (20 years old) of course Arsenal will prioritize Saka to be an important part for next season. I believe Arsenal are in talks with his agent to reach an agreement on his new contract. maybe in the next few days we will see official news from arsenal for the extension of Bukayo Saka contract. maybe besides saka arsenal also focus on extending the contract period of gabriel martinelli and gabriel magalhaes.

Even though Saka's contract is still 2 years away until it expires but that doesn't stop Arsenal from discussing a long-term contract there and they are now quite sure about it.
Arteta says currently Saka is at the center of his project and wants to keep him at the Emirates at all costs.
On the other hand, Saka also seems to still feel at home at Arsenal and seems to be responding to Arsenal's proposal.

Saw that Chelsea have officially confirmed that they've completed the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli side, a deal that worth about £34million, The centre back has officially penned a four-year contract ,the signing of the defender have made it Chelsea's second summer contract deal.
That's Such a good deal and kudos to Chelsea for doing the needful in their ability to making the team match the strength of rival clubs like Manchester City , Liverpool etc , I love the drastic move made by Chelsea FC to bring in such a good player like Kalidou Koulibalyto play in the place of Rudiger.

But who deserves Manchester United to go after it? Because I see they are still a little less in that position. For other positions, I think they are ready to enter the competition next season, especially if Cristiano Ronaldo can stay with them. For the back position they are better than before with the addition of their new players.

And he joined the team at the states immediately after completing he medical.
A good back up for the loss of Rudiger for me.
He is very solid behind and very strong physical and with the head.

Kalidou Koulibaly is a very strong defender and he is an experienced player even though he is 31 years old but in terms of quality he is still very good and strong.
now Chelsea seems to have needed what they wanted, in this transfer market Chelsea are eyeing a few defenders but now what they have got is Koulibaly, and that is better in my opinion than De Ligt who was only released by Juventus for a very high price.

I think Manchester United just try find new central forward, although if Ronaldo keep stay still need to find central forward have scoring goal soul.

In this case I would like to see Van De Beek under the direction of Eric Ten Hag in the next season.
Van De Beek had a pretty good time with Ten Hag and now they are reunited with a different squad and with a different team but this is something that I think is interesting.
Van De Beek in the Ole and Rangnick era was always left out and now it looks like this will never happen again especially with Ten Hag's words who want to prioritize Van De Beek next season.

[Sterbens]

It would be even better for Ronaldo because his big name and ability are certainly still needed by the Manchester United squad at this time if they really want to stay.
I also believe that Erik Ten Hag will be able to change everything that is needed at the Manchester United club for next season and that is being done at the moment.

I believe the signing of Eriksen will assist Ronaldo to score more goals if he decide to stay atleast for now that Chelsea had backed out from the purported bid, Man Utd lacked creative midfielders that can create the finals passes, the present crop of players playing that role had not live up to expectations, Bruno Fernandez had performed woefully in that role, honestly if Erik Ten Hag can rebuild the team with players like Eriksen who has the capacity to create goal scoring chances because of his passing ability will help the team precisely Ronaldo to score many goals.

It turns out that Ronaldo and their new teammates will work even harder to reach the Champions League ticket. That's why Ronaldo's hope is to end the season that has been achieved. With the addition of squads such as Eriksen and Martinez, it becomes one of the better formations than before. Erik Ten Hag will try everything he can to get Manchester United out of the threatening zone.

For the back position they are better than before with the addition of their new players.

Antony. That's a player that Manchester United should focus on rather than Frenkie De Jong.
In addition to Antony, they have to find a central defender in anticipation of weak defenses like what happened last season. In my opinion, defense is the main thing that must be addressed because no matter how great the midfield and front line are, if the defense is weak, it will make all the mess.

For the defensive players, according to the news, Lisandro Martinez is already in Manchester with the agent and this is good and important news to look forward to. If it officially joins, Lisandro Martinez in my opinion is a purchase that suits your needs.

[Oluwa-btc]

Lisandro Martinez can equally serve as a defensive midfielder until Manchester United gets a proper Defensive Midfielder. A good defender with pace can serve as a defensive midfielder, he just have to be a good passer of the ball and tracking lost balls.
How long will Manchester United wait until they finalized a deal with Frank De Jong ? I'd so much be happy if they can introduce Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton.
The coach knows what he wants but fans seems to have echoed Ruben Neves name for the past days.

Antony chances of getting to Manchester United are no where near it for this season, Ajax are not even prepared for  he's loss.
The continual usage of MacFred is useless, we don't need that this season.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is on the verge of leaving Manchester city this summer after the effortless push of the Gunners for the Ukraine international. Arsenal have cover verbal agreement with the Leftback who's one key player for Pep Guardiola. Perhaps his departure won't affect the team as Pep will strive harder for his replacement which is Cucurella from Brighton. Talks in it's final stages as salary and duration of contract in active bids.

in fact, martinez and de jong were coached by ten hag at ajax, this is actually really funny IMO. but it is true that the price of martinez is cheaper than de jong besides that his abilities are not much different. I also agree with Manchester United that they should focus on the transfer of Martinez, not de Jong.

Guardiola will not face any problems for Oleksandr Zinchenko, if he leaves the team. Because Oleksandr Zinchenko is not an important player for Manchester City. But I think Guardiola should strengthen his defense. While he brought in talented players like Haaland to strengthen the forwards, he did not do enough to strengthen the defense. Manchester City needs an experienced defender now.

Am surprised you did rate the Ukrainian International Oleksandr Zinchenko down this way. I consider him one of the best talents in the Manchester City squad. Let's face the fact, his got skill, speed and some shot power to support. Last season was a very hard time for him, with the on going war in his nation with Russia and the distress it would put him in, his sure not to be in his best but, his by far one of the best talents in Manchester City. Perhaps this is some deal to stimulate Arsenal to release Saka for them.
Let's not forget, R. Sterling and G. Jesus have left the team on transfer so, the options isn't as before and this could mean trouble for the bench.

I don't understand why he says Zinchnko is a very important player in Manchester City. I don't really understand how he measured his importance. Someone that is not a first team player cannot be that important to a club.

Saying why Guardiola is more interested in his attack than the defence could be his pattern of play. He believes that if he can score 4 - 5 goals evey match, it will be difficult for the opposition to equalize such goals. Besides while playing any club, Manchester City always has the larger possession. So Manchester City is not a defensive club.

He is a young player with high potential.  Arsenal would like to keep him in their squad for a long time if they sign him.  Statistics tell us that he did not have much chance to play in Manchester City last year.  If he thinks he can play regularly at Arsenal, this transfer may make sense for him.

Yeah club talks are positive and all completed. What left is now is personal terms with the player and this will be completed very soon. Zincheno is a great left back and with Tierney struggling with injuries and we not having a proper option (Nuno Tavares) we needed a good signing. Arsenal is smart in keeping tabs on City interests. For example, Jesus about to leave City- signed him, City interested in Cucurella - so sign the player in that position Zinchenko. If this completed, it is very likely that Nuno Tavares might leave maybe on loan or a permanent move which depends on what Arteta thinks whether he can use him again in future or not.
