Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[blackened515]

N'Golo Kanté have been one of the successful midfielder so far for the Chelsea. He has dominated the midfield of Chelsea over the years. Although, Kanté still have more opportunities in his career but he will still settle for Chelsea as he's one of their top player. The one time world cup winner is the highest paid in the club and it probably looks like he's running out of contract and his current contract ends June 2023. I doubt if he will leave the blues as a free agent. Therefore, I thinks Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel will work on his deal for further extension.

I heard Tottenham Hotspur are very interested in signing maphis Depay, he is good player with lot of experience and skills but I don't really know if Tottenham need him, because they have good players in that positions he plays son,kulusevki, Richarlison and Lucas moura, for me what Tottenham needs is a central midfielder because I think richarlison and kuluveski is enough competition at the wings,and is a world cup year and depay won't like to seat on the bench and I believe Steven Bergwin must have advice him against going to Tottenham Hotspur.

I just don't think Kanté is 31 years old, I think Kanté is still 28. But indeed, at least Kanté deserves to get a new contract for at least the next three seasons. But if Chelsea don't want to take the risk because maybe to avoid injury, then we will get Kanté as a free agent at the end of the season. Kanté himself is a player who does not have many demands and therefore, so far his career has never been in trouble so it is not surprising that even though his contract will expire next season, Kanté still does not ask Chelsea to do something to him.

As much as Arsenal are bringing in new players for next season, I still don’t feel hopeful ahead of next season because they’ve failed to address the key areas which needed reinforcement from the end last season disappointments. The defensive midfield is the key area where Arsenal should focus on if they’re to compete in the coming season. Thomas Partey’s injury towards the end of last season cost them the top 4 spot and since he injury prone, Arsenal should sign a similar type of midfielder, a press resistant one.

Lucas Torreira is back into the team after a season long loan spell at Fiorentina, I believe he is the perfect backup for injury prone Thomas Partey in Arsenal squad, Mohammed Elneny and Lokonga is another option thus that area of Arsenal squad had been well addressed and reinforced, the club is good to go for the new season and with some new signings in almost all the department of the squad, Arsenal will definitely give top 4 spot a shot provided that their key players are injury-free in most of the season and hopefully may win some trophies apart from EPL trophy.

Well, its a familiar rumor on the Spurs transfer news but I don't think the could he able to get the players signature even. Depay is prepared to play more seasons in the Barcelona Laliga side to enable him have a go at the international competitions and a chance towards winning trophies than to come and struggle with the EPL side Tottenham whom is pretty much having some rough seasons. Richarlison is a good signing on the Spurs side and if used properly, it could help attain good results with Harry Kane.

It is not realistic to assume that they (the players) will continue to do so even after the league has started. To me, friendly preseason games are somehow pointless since you can't evaluate a player entirely based on how they perform in exhibition games. When the league starts, a player's true potential is what he can provide to the squad; the games are much more intense and action-packed than they are now. As you noted, the Premier League is full with surprises. Let's wait and watch to see how each team does, particularly early in the season.

What you say is not wrong, but pre-season friendly matches are things that must also be considered important for every club even though the true potential of a player is not all mobilized by every player in a friendly match. Which however friendlies will still be important to see the benchmark of each club's strength before the season starts. And each club can immediately make the desired changes if there are still slight deficiencies in the squad.

Friendly matches (pre-season) are an opportunity for young players to show their talents to get the attention of the coach, whatever the results obtained from friendly matches will not affect the club's reputation, because coaches often play young players. Friendly matches are actually to measure the depth of the squad ahead of the new season, the coach will see the performance of the players who will be selected to enter the main squad.  Lots of young players who were promoted to the main squad thanks to performing brilliantly in pre-season matches.

Based on Ngolo Kante's profile, he was born on March 29th, 1991 so he is 31 years old. I don't think Chelsea will let him go because of his age because he has been a great player who has done so well for Chelsea so letting him leave when his contract expires won't be a good decision to take if you ask me but I doubt if Chelsea will offer him a three years contract because looking at his performance last season,  Kante was not regular on the starting lineup for the blues due to serious of injuries so no team will take the risk of offering him such contract on his present age and injury condictions.

Placed my vote already, as I still stand strong on my ground supporting and backing Tottenham Hotspur to claim the English Premier League this season. The season kick's off in few days ahead. Every club and every single player are responding and preparing over the transfer window recruiting player's and keeping fit with tour and pre-season matches all anticipating for the kick off.

My opinion hasn't changed any bit, the premier league is not all bout how well you start, but how far you can go.  ( Great ins and outings, but my favorites remains  Antonio Conte's Side ) Ohh I've missed the commentary,the opposing and home fans, the drama, the fights, stunning goals and brilliance of goalie's. Truthfully, these past weeks been way boring a bit without the premier league....

That's what I mean, I say Kanté still deserves a new contract but with various considerations maybe that is the reason Chelsea so far have not offered a new contract for Kanté. In fact, there are many great players out there when their contracts have one more season left, so they start asking the board to renew their contracts. Most of such cases, when the board does not offer a new contract to the player concerned until the end of the season for the player himself. So in most cases like that the player will become a free agent and that happens very often, but so far there have been no rumors about Kanté himself wanting to stay or leave and this is difficult to judge because Kanté is a player with a good heart.

It will sound like a joke to people if I say that Arsenal will shock everybody by winning the premier league this season.I am not saying this because I am an Arsenal fan trying to speak good about my team,but I'm saying this from what I've seen,and from the rate of hunger in the Arsenal team,and those young players trying to win a silver wear by all means.Remember they humiliated Chelsea in preseason few days ago.With the players they've recruited so far this season,adding three quality signings in the person's of Gabriel Jesus,Olexandr Zinchenko,and Fabio Vierra,I think they are upto something,and the premier league is their aim.Lets just wait to see what happens this coming season.

Tottenham have really done well in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Richarlison, Bissouma, Ivan perrisic, Clement lenglets, Forster and Spence but one signing they have to make so they can have a perfect squad is bringing in a number ten, so they can switch to formation or let me say plan B,and the player must have a great passing ability because Antonio Conte talk about 3-4-1-2 last season.dont know why they didn't bring in Christian Eriksen but I believe that Conte will chose a better number ten.

I don't think Tottenham will be interested in Depay because they have a lot of other players who have made a big contribution in his position. As you said it's true Tottenham need a midfield player and Conte is planning to address that gap in this transfer window. Nicolo Zaniolo is a player Conte is looking for but Tottenham seem to have to compete with Juventus for Nicolo Zaniolo signature. As roma has given the value of Nicolo Zainolo release clause of £42m. we can see juventus and tottenham feud to get Zaniolo.

Yes, you are right. Probably Chelsea's board of directors is waiting for his contract to expire or wants him to make his decision so they know what he wants. Kante knows that Chelsea will not let him leave maybe that's why they are keeping his next move away from the media and other rumor spreaders. PS, I think Ngolo Kante knows his worth and he believes that he has done so well for Chelsea so he won't beg the team even though age is no longer on his side he will be a major target to other clubs if Chelsea refused to renew his contract.  We will hear plenty of rumors about Kante before the end of the season if Chelsea didn't agree to his terms.

Manchester United must immediately make an offer for De Jong if they want to sign him, because Chelsea are also interested in De Jong, especially since Chelsea have just lost some of the targets they were after.

Only if de jong is undisposed to cut his salary in Barcelona, If happens he will be anchored to MU. Chelsea's prestige is no longer good after changing ownership, I don't know why, they are often cornered by another club in getting players on the market. even if made a good offer, a player like Raphinha chooses the club that bids lower than Chelsea. maybe this is a bad year for Chelsea, but they still do not worry because have got a talented player like sterling

Previously, De Jong had said that when the club wanted to cut his salary, the financial crisis facing Barcelona was not his responsibility. Barcelona did not rule out the departure of De Jong, even though he was listed as a talented young player, Barcelona had to open the door for De Jong to reduce the salary burden. Manchester United really want to sign De Jong, but he will only go to a club that plays in the Champions League, this situation is very favorable for Chelsea. Chelsea could have tried to negotiate with Barcelona, ​​because they have the capital to play in the Champions League.

Chelsea's failure to bring in players is not because the club is no longer attractive after the club's ownership changes, but the players Chelsea are targeting have their own dream club, such as Raphinha and Kounde who chose to join Barcelona. Both of these players have already been targeted by Chelsea, they will also get a big salary from what they get at Barcelona, ​​their love for Barcelona makes Chelsea have to accept their failure to get their target player.

Lucas Torreira joined in for the preseason but he left the preseason camp to travel to Italy with his future in Arsenal uncertain. I think it will bennefit him to get to another club where he would continue with his career rather than warming the bench at Arsenal. It’s clear that he’s not in Arteta’s plans and that’s why he’s not around through this preseason games. He has never been a backup for Thomas Partey, he lacks why Thomas Partey has to survive physically in the premier league. Arsenal really need to fix that position before the season starts.

I am also an Arsenal fan and I am very satisfied with Arsenal's performance when playing in a friendly matches, especially when they beat Chelsea with
a big enough score. But we can't take friendly matches as a parameter, because the majority of teams when playing in friendly matches will not play
seriously and most coaches will try to experiment. That means it will be different when playing in the Premier League, although I am very happy if
it is true that Arsenal can win the Premier League trophy. But I have to think realistically it is quite difficult for Arsenal to compete with Man City or
Liverpool. So my prediction is that Arsenal will only be able to compete to get into the top 4,  it's also a very good achievement if it is true that Arsenal
can be in the top 4.

Arsenal top priority should be top 4 next season while aiming to win FA cup or Carabao's cup in addition, however they may aim to vie for or challenge for EPL trophy in the subsequent seasons provided that they are consistent with their good runs and performance as well as defeating some top teams that usually constitutes a threat to them e.g Liverpool and Man City, we shouldn't place too much expectation on the club now because their players are still young, though they won their pre-season matches against top teams, once this youngsters matured  and gain experience they will be a team to beat.

Mikel Arteta doing an excellent job for the gunners after making massive signings this summer. I have a feeling that the gunners will do brilliantly this new season after tremendous victories in their preseason games. The team is occupied with young talented players and they will do better in league games. Talking about mature players with experience, definitely the players will improve in their performance and confidence as times goes on. Arsenal boss have a target this season which is to compete for the Premier league trophy and to end top four before the end of the new campaign.

With the signings Arsenal have made in the transfer window so far, I expect them to dominate this season. Preseason is looking good for Arsenal. Mikel Areteta will do a lot better and fight for the top four position though top four is not a trophy. This is the first time I have seen Arsenal serious with their signings in the last five years.

It only takes less than twelve minutes for Haaland to score his first goal. Funny how he mention it was seven losses in a row for him and it's good to end this series. Well, it's not Dortmund anymore, so you better get used to some wins now.
Pep found its missing piece. I believe Haaland will be very helpful to get more trophies, especially Champions League trophy. That's why they bought him. Bayern friendly was just a small preview what would be happen in late stages.

Yes, Haaland's move to Manchester City was the right decision. If he had only been at Borussia Dortmund he would have gained nothing. But if he is at Manchester City I believe he will achieve what the players really want which is to win. The spigot has opened, now he has to get as many goals in as possible. A good start for a player if he gets his first goal.

Haaland has help Dortmund so much in scoring many goals, but that could not grantee them trophies. The club was so much dependent on the young player, such that whenever the player goes on injure, the distance between Dortmund and Bayern becomes longer in the table. But with all the goals nothing to show. It is obvious that if Haaland can maintain or improve his scoring ability in Manchester City, he will definitely be ending every match as a winner and that would help him and the team.

Personally, I think Dortmund is not a team that aims for trophies. Dortmund is a club that treats its players like business modules. It sells the players it has created. For any young player who wants to be great one day, Dortmund is not a viable option. This decision by Erling Haaland to join Manchester City is a great one because Manchester City is hungry for trophies in the first place. They are already defending the English Premier League title this upcoming season and will also be pushing for the Champions League title. So this was a very wise decision for the future of his career and also for Manchester City.
