Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Fesatmas]

Gundogan is certainly a key player in Manchester City's squad. He may not have scored many goals or assists, but Gundogan has been instrumental in keeping the team's overall performance stable. The important thing is that Gundogan has been with the Manchester City squad for a long time. Because of this, if Gundogan suddenly leaves the team, it will be difficult for Guardiola to fill his void. But Guardiola is an experienced coach. He may be able to find a suitable replacement for Gundogan very quickly and stabilize his squad.

Gundogan is a professional footballer, he is known as an attacking midfielder who has high technique, qualified game vision, and impressive goalscoring ability. Now Gundogan is in the spotlight of various media crews regarding his future, his contract will soon be completed on 30 June. So far Gundogan has made a perfect contribution and has helped the team to win the Treble Winner, I think it will be very difficult for Manchester City if he really chooses to leave when his contract expires, and on the other hand, I have not heard from the management showing any signs will extend his contract. I agree with you, Guardiola is a great coach, and I'm sure it won't be too difficult for him to find the right candidate to fill the void. Apart from all that, now I hear rumors that Guardiola is eyeing a player from PSG to become one of the candidates to replace Gundogan, namely Fabian Ruiz, he is currently on Manchester City's radar. But the news is still speculation and I think Guardiola knows what he has to do.

At his age I think that like it or not Manchester City already have plenty of options to replace Gundogan. With the support of funds and having players above average in individual skills it is not a big problem if Pep Guardiola loses him. Gundogan has contributed a lot and now he has the right to decide. Manchester City have won maximum trophies in every competition and next season's targets will definitely continue to be expanded. Apart from Gundogan maybe Pep has been thinking about this for a long time. Clubs that want to take Gundogan will definitely have to make a bet with the condition that they are no longer young.

Next season will be a more exciting and challenging season in the premier league than before.

Maybe or maybe not. If the rumored transfer of two City players to Barca and PSG are true then I can see the excitement on how unpredictable the next season will be. City are currently the most stable organization in the Premier League so changes in the squad could potentially affect the team in a negative way. Man United could be in another rebuild phase if there will be a change in ownership while Chelsea will continue to find balance. I have no update with what's happening with LFC. Newcastle may put up more fight for the title next season.

Even though there will be several Manchester City players who will leave in the transfer market later, I personally still believe that Manchester City will remain in the title race. So, at least for competition in the top four, of course, it will still be interesting, especially about Newcastle. Because with Newcastle playing in the Champions League next season, of course, Newcastle will have some new players later and hopefully there will be star players who will play at Newcastle next season. That way, of course, Newcastle's performance will continue to be boosted by changes in many aspects of their squad.

If Newcastle acquires new players, especially top players, it will greatly enhance their chances of winning in the upcoming season. However, it seems that they prefer to bring in young players with significant potential and talent to strengthen their squad and serve as future investments.

Have I missed a lot of news or who said and confirmed that several players are going to leave Manchester City? Which players are we talking about here?

Since Pep Guardiola now confirmed that he will definitely fulfill his contract until 2025, I am pretty sure that not a lot of players will decide against working with him for the next two years if they have a contract with Manchester City. The only player so far is Gundogan who doesn't yet know what he is going to do since Manchester City is said to offer him a 1 year extension whereas he wants a 2 year extension. But after that performance I think they might still improve their offer and he will stay there.

[Davidvictorson]

İlkay Gündoğan's desire to leave is nothing but that he wants more minutes to play and at Man City the competition is very fierce and it is possible that İlkay Gündoğan will not get full minutes of play, that is very natural for a player.
İlkay Gündoğan's performance is still quite good so it's only natural that many top European teams want him.

but on the other hand I think that İlkay Gündoğan's departure will not have a big effect on the Manchester CIty team, Pep Guardiola's team already has a very strong character, even if several players leave, it will not have a big effect on the team's performance.

I remember in interview when Pep said he is not going to keep anybody who doesn't want to stay. So İlkay Gündoğan is free to leave or stay. But then I support his decision to want to leave because in my estimation City didn't show any seriousness in keeping. If city is not going to give him enough playing time because of his age, then he should leave. And I hope to God that he doesn't go to Arsenal. He should go to Barcelona or some club abroad.

I don't really think Newcastle will make huge changes or overhaul. Newcastle is like a reborn team and I have no problem if they go for youth since their strategy seems to be working. Maybe one or two moves then they will be ready again. Who knows if they get lucky and sign a Haaland 2.0

No doubt Manchester City has a lot of players in their arsenal but you would agree with me that Gundogan was also instrumental in the club's treble glory this season and they want to reward him for his performance and contribution with an improved 1 year extension deal. This might not be much compared to what the Arabians are offering but I don't think it's actually time for him to call it quit in europe.

Premier league is now more competitive than before as the fight for the top 10 in the league is very tough and most of the underrated teams are performing well than before. Next season will be a more exciting and challenging season in the premier league than before.

I just can't wait for next season to kick off. The competition will be intense, and the league is going to be tougher. Gone are those days when it used to be big 4, now we have Arsenal coming in after missing out of top 4 finish for some years, Newcastle establishing their place after more than 2 decades of absence, Manchester United taking their place back after a year of absence. The only consistent team so far is Manchester City, they have been finishing in the top 4 place in the last 10 years. Liverpool and Chelsea are also in the picture and they will be fighting for a comeback, so the fight for the EPL tittle and a top 4 finish is going to be fierce.

We all believed that the upcoming season might be tough, but that is not the case at this time. We can discuss this when the upcoming season begins and we see the teams that are performing well. I also heard the rumor that Manchester City would transfer two players to another team, namely Barcelona and PSG. If City had permitted those players to leave, I believe the upcoming season may have been difficult for them, given that all city players are good enough to play for them even in ye next season.

However, if Manchester City transfer some of there  players, Manchester United may have a better chance of winning the title the following year. As for Newcastle's squad, I believe they need more players, but young and experienced ones rather than just well-known football stars. I believe they need many players to strengthen their weak spots on the field because there are positions that are weak in their squad, and I believe they want to do that for the future so that even if they have a match, they will already be familiar with them. And will improve their performance in the upcoming season.

[Falconer]

Even if Gundogan leaves Man City at least Pep Guardiola will look for other options, it's just that Gundogan contribution to Man City is quite significant and without Gundogan I don't think Man City will have made it this far in improving their performance. To be honest, Gundogan, who was appointed as Captain, explained that his role was vital enough that the decision to extend the contract was the best option. Apart from that, Arsenal and Barcelona, who had been eyeing Gundogan for a long time, had to look for other players.

Ilkay Gundogan is the captain of Manchester City, so of course he's one of the most important for them. So far Ilkay Gundogan has made 304 appearances for Manchester City with 60 goals and 40 assists during his contract, so naturally he will attract interest from several other teams to sign him. I think at the moment Barcelona are ahead of Arsenal to sign Ilkay Gundogan, but I'm very unsure whether Xavi will actually prioritize that signing this summer.

Xavi needs a defensive midfielder, while Ilkay Gundogan tends to play as a central midfielder. So maybe Barcelona won't be that serious about signing Gundogan if they manage to get a better defensive midfielder. I agree Barcelona must have some experienced midfielders apart from having De Jong, Pedri, Kessie, Gavi and Pablo Torre. With Ilkay Gundogan I think Barcelona will have good stability in midfield after Busquets leaves.

If Newcastle acquires new players, especially top players, it will greatly enhance their chances of winning in the upcoming season. However, it seems that they prefer to bring in young players with significant potential and talent to strengthen their squad and serve as future investments.

I agree with you, because clubs in England really have to have two good players in every position or solid reserves because a team in the premier league has to play in five competitions and if they don't have solid reserves they will be overwhelmed like Man Unitet or Liverpool last season. this is the quality of the core and backup players are very much different.

If Newcastle wants to be able to compete in the UCL league, they have to bring in several star players. With a squad like now it's difficult to compete. They will take part in a lot of competition next season. Hopefully British representatives like Newcastle can give a decent fight next season.

I agree with you. Gundogan is a very talented player. But we must not forget that Gundogan is almost 33 years old. And so it is even more important for Manchester City to find Gundogan's replacement. And coach Guardiola is very experienced. He does not base his match strategy on any particular player. Manchester City's most important player was not Gundogan. And so I think even if Gundogan is not in the team, we won't see much of an impact on City's performance next season. Guardiola will find a suitable replacement for Gundogan.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

especially about Newcastle. Because with Newcastle playing in the Champions League next season, of course, Newcastle will have some new players later and hopefully there will be star players who will play at Newcastle next season. That way, of course, Newcastle's performance will continue to be boosted by changes in many aspects of their squad.

So far Newcastle are focusing on strengthening the midfield and defense they are eyeing some good players like Raphinha and James Maddison, to get these 2 players reportedly Newcastle has prepared funds of around 140 million indeed several other teams also want these 2 players but Newcastle have a bigger chance because they will play in the Champions League obviously this is going to be an attraction. Meanwhile for the attacker I haven't heard the news or maybe they are ready with existing players.

The club will add more new players, and they will need all the help and support they can receive in order to adequately prepare for the great challenge ahead. Top English Premier League battles between excellent and ordinary clubs. Newcastle is already performing at a high level, and they have good players in the team, particularly young players. Eddie Howe, the Magpies' coach, is doing an excellent job of securing points for the team and improving their performance this season. They qualified for the UEFA Champions League and they will definitely improve in the coming season.

Newcastle has done well in the last season without any big star players. And we were quite surprised by Newcastle's performance. However, next season Newcastle will not only play in the Premier League, they have also managed to qualify for the Champions League. And the general audience will have high expectations from this team in the coming season. Because many think that the Newcastle team will become as strong as Manchester City in the future. Because they have a lot of money.
If you want to do well in the Champions League, you need to strengthen the bench team as well as the main squad. Otherwise, it is difficult to maintain consistency. And so next season Newcastle management should strengthen the squad by adding more star players to the squad.

He's already done alot for Manchester City, I really do think it's time for him to part ways with Manchester City. Barcelona have been linked already, and how they play really suits him as he will not find it difficult to adapt to Barcelona.

As for Manchester City, they already have the England forward Kalvin Philips, still making advanaces to Introduce Kovacic from Chelsea.
I really do think it'll be a done deal because Mauricio Pochetino has plans to recruit his own players especially for the midfielder's.
He's finally won the Champions League, now he can explore but no Saudi Arabian club wants him currently.

It cannot be said that Newcastle achieved such results without star players, a lot of money was invested in the team, which is why they were able to achieve such results. The next season will be indicative, because you are right, they will also have to play in the Champions League in addition to the Premier League, this will significantly increase the load on the team and there may be a decline somewhere, it will also depend on the team’s priorities and, of course, the possibility of its bench.

But the reality is that Newcastle have managed to get good results over the last two seasons without any star players in their squad. Because, even though Newcastle has a lot of money, but they don't quickly chase star players. In fact, so far there doesn't seem to be many rumors saying one of the star players there will join Newcastle. That means Newcastle seem to have their own way of building a team, perhaps by simply maximizing the potential that every player in their squad has. But yes, if that's the case then it's difficult for Newcastle to be able to maintain consistency because after all, I'm sure that slowly Newcastle will make big changes.

I totally understand what you're saying. it's just that, if Manchester United was acquired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, what's the difference with the Glazer family. which in essence, they only care about money. I can understand, if this is a matter of The Red Devil's identity. but the problem is, if United is not acquired by a Middle Eastern country. I'm pretty sure Manchester United will find it difficult to compete with other big teams.

Let's look at the reality, currently Newcastle is owned by a Middle Eastern country. for sure, they will bring in many great players to participate in competing for various trophies. not to mention City, which is a city rival. well, how big United, will be able to compete. whereas in the transfer market last winter, Ten Hag was not given the funds to bring in the newcomers he needed. there are not many options, Ten Hag only get loan player options. To be honest, I think the Red Devil fans are very angry with the Glazer family.

Well, by the way even if the Glazers hadn't sold him to Sheikh Jassim, Qatar could have gotten him through political channels. actually, I don't like to involve football with politics. but Qatar had an offer Britain could not refuse. especially, towards winter. but indeed, currently Middle Eastern countries are incessantly wanting to be involved in the English league football industry. however, if after the Russian conflict is over. Russia's rich people will again be involved in acquiring an English league club. or, it could also be acquired by rich people from other countries. then, what's the difference with what you said if in the end the Premier League will be owned by foreign investors.
But, I don't want to relate it to politics, it's completely just a personal assumption. well, if Arsenal is acquired by a Middle Eastern country or another. I am very happy as a Gunners fan.

Yes I am not denying reality and I am also not saying that I am against it, but I do understand the general concern and I ask myself how I would like it when entire leagues are owned and controlled by Sheikhs and their idea of how the leagues should be operated and commercialized. When our beloved sports around the world are turned into sportswashing engines only to polish up the reputation of countries and regimes from the Middle East, I think it doesn't feel very good and goes into a wrong direction in my opinion. Once they own majority shares of a league, they can also dictate the rules. Nobody should underestimate how their power slowly increases under the surface.
