Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[CryptocurencyKing]

This is really big. Arsenal is trying to create its own record by sending a very high bid for rice.

Arsenal have submitted a fresh bid for Declan Rice, as reported by David Ornstein. The offer is said to total £100 million ($127.5m) plus £5m ($6.4m) in add-ons - making it a record for a British player.
That honour is currently held by Rice's England team-mate Jack Grealish, who completed a £100m move to Manchester City from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021. The Gunners have been fighting it out with City for the midfielder all summer and it remains to be seen if West Ham will finally accept this latest proposal.

I can't even describe how crazy arsenal is right now. Im very happy to see the competition between arsenal and manchester city is coming to the peak. I would say that if arsenal is really obsessed to get rice from westham.
I hope that this offer will not be rejecting by westham. it seems like that arteta needs rice so much.

Honestly I don't think Manchester city will match Arsenal’s bid. Getting Rice is more important to Arsenal to reach that next level than it is to them, they already have Rodri and wouldn't want to break their transfer record for a position they don't desperately need. I have never seen Arsenal go above £100m for a player, which means that the size of the latest Arsenal bid speaks volume of how much they want Rice, if he indeed wants to join them, he should tell West ham to be flexible and allow the deal go through.

Well, Manchester city has done well in this season by embracing many titles because of the potential players their coach brought to the team, and I think their coach will still maintain the players to continue next season so that they will not experience any disappointment in premier league competition next season and other competitions too. I believe, Manchester city will improve higher in the area of the midfield by impacting a new skills to the midfielders so that they will do better in next season, because their fans want to see improvement with the team by maintaining the first position from the beginning till the end of the tournament next season. If Liverpool management can bring in new players in this summer, I think it will make them to improve too because  their performance in this season was very poor compared to last season that made them to achieved second position.

Manchester City officially announced that Mateo Kovacic would take place in midfield, in addition, Manchester City is negotiating to bring Declan Rice from West Ham so if the agreement occurs then there is no doubt the midfield of Man City they already have a tough squad Mateo Kovacic, Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri and (Declan Rice) I can say these 4 players will be the strongest in midfield. Next season I chose Manchester City to secure the title I haven't seen other teams that are able to compete with them, but this is not final, at least we have to wait until the transfer window is closed.

This is bad news for Erik Ten Heg and Man utd Fans who are actually waiting for confirmation over the club's protracted ownership issue. Erik ten heg is actually excited to give the best for Manchester United in the transfer market this time and prepare for a better season. But the plans and enthusiasm that he has seem to be hampered by the uncertainty that occurred in the process of acquiring the Man utd club. But even so, I still hope that Man Utd can maintain the performance they had last season. And hopefully Erik Ten Heg quickly gets a suitable front-line player to sharpen Man utd's attack next season.

Let's see how fast glazer will be completing the acquisition. So many people have been waiting for this to happen. I meant look at how so many protest were coming from manchester united fans at this moment. Glazer was incompetent owner.
Sheikh jassim has been sending a very good bid for manchester united instead of sir jim. I hope the decision will be made as soon as possible.
Glazer was selling manchester united so high but arabian investors can afford to buy it with a bit less compared with the price that has been asked by glazer.
We are waiting for new MU to be born under new management. It's enough for glazer to stay here. He must go out from manchester united. I really support jassim to win the acquisition.

Glazer family is the red devil itself, they have reduced the club to nothing, that's why Manchester united is struggling every season and have lost their place to Manchester city. i don't expect any change in the club till the Glazer family leave the club. the club has incur huge debt because of their recklessness and poor management skills in the club. Ten tag has performed absolutely and he must be given a serious attention to pilot the club to a greater height. He can only achieve it through a good owner, who has passion for the club and football.Glazer family must Go

West Ham are holding out for a 100 million euro bid for Rice who has made 245 appearances for the club. It remains to be seen who will win the race for the midfielder's signature. True, I don't think Manchester City are interested in Declan Rice because they already have Rodri and I don't think Guardiola really needs two defensive midfielders. Arsenal have made two bids which are likely to be as high as 100 million euros, so Arsenal make more sense in my opinion. Not because they are better than Manchester City but they are more interested and need it more. Rice would suit Arsenal's way of playing in a defensive midfield role, protecting the back four and providing solidity. This is what Arsenal need to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League and I think Declan Rice will consider his departure.

Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United ardent supporters are both disappointed by the news of the club ongoing ownership dispute. The underlying uncertainty dampens Ten Hag ambition to provide his best effort in the transfer market and get ready for a better season. Yet there is still hope that Manchester united will continue to play as well as They did the season before. Ten hag still harbours the ambition To quickly sign a front line player who will improve the team offensive capability since doing so would provide Manchester united the competitive edge they need in the upcoming season. Let's hope that the ownership dispute will be successfully resolved and let have faith that Ten hag will successfully steer the team through these difficulties.

Yeah transfers can play a big role in this. de Gea is about to leave and it looks like there won't be any contract extension with him. Manchester United have been after Inter goalkeeper Onana to sign for some time. It looks like he will be the replacement for de Gea and Onana would at least be a strong replacement for him. Onana's performance has really been impressive.

Yes, I think Man United is targeting goalkeeper Onana to replace De Gea. This can be clearly seen in Dea Gea's contract, even though it can be said that De Gea has still made many brilliant saves compared to previous seasons. David De Gea actually agreed to a new contract proposed by Man United with a drastic reduction in salary, but Man United instead revised the contract with a much lower salary offer for David De Gea. This is tantamount to Man United wanting De Gea to leave .

When it comes to Kane it depends on whether the Red Devils are ready to pay a huge amount which is over 100 million euros most probably. Bayern Munich have made an offer for him as well but it is only 75 million euros. It was rejected by Tottenham side as well.

It seems that Bayern Munich very rarely buy very expensive players. Moreover, Tottenham are willing to let Kane go for 100 million euros. Previously, Bayern Munich bought player de light with a dowry of 67 million euros, Bayern Munich paid Lucas Hernandez also 80 million euros. Kane is already 30 years old with a price of 100 million euros, there is no evidence of any titles at his previous club. Imo, I don't think it's worth it at that price.

[hyudien]

I really regret it if De Gea leaves Manchester United because so far De Gea's performance has been quite impressive and if many say that Manchester United have conceded a lot of goals then it cannot fully blame De Gea it is Manchester United's defense that must be repaired, De Gea has made many brilliant saves last season and it proves that he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world today.

There is nothing wrong with many people who say Man United conceded a lot, but I guarantee that if the goalkeeper is not de Gea then Man United will experience more conceding than De Gea himself. We can see everything in the statistics at the end of last season and produce a finish in 3. Because not all goalkeepers will match the game Man United, De Gea is one of the people who know it. The following season Man United without De Gea and once again, in my opinion is a difficult task in finding the right replacement. Although the rumors of Man United are associated with David Raya, the agreement has not continued until now.

[Strongkored]

Manchester City officially announced that Mateo Kovacic would take place in midfield, in addition, Manchester City is negotiating to bring Declan Rice from West Ham so if the agreement occurs then there is no doubt the midfield of Man City they already have a tough squad Mateo Kovacic, Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri and (Declan Rice) I can say these 4 players will be the strongest in midfield. Next season I chose Manchester City to secure the title I haven't seen other teams that are able to compete with them, but this is not final, at least we have to wait until the transfer window is closed.

It looks like Declan Rice will be more likely to go to Arsenal than to Manchester City because we know how incessantly Arsenal are in the transfer market to get this midfielder, but it is not impossible for City to finally get him because Manchester City look to be more successful in the transfer market to get the players they want, and if Manchester City get it will make them more confident next season to repeat the success that once they get next season, for the English Premier League title Manchester City will again be favorites compared to other clubs.

[Pokapoka124]

I think FA needs to step in to stop this hyping been placed on  English players because it is becoming something else, how can West Ham United be demanding for a £100 for a player like Declan Rice that's crazy and the next thing you see after a club have paid that amount now he won't be as good as he was when playing for west Ham United after paying that huge amount. Best wishes for the them that will end up paying that amount but I think Arsenal and Manchester city should not pay such high amount because Rice is not worth that amount right now regardless of his form last season. £80 is ok I think Manchester city has over priced him already because in my opinion Rice shouldn't be above £60 despite his form. Now since Arsenal is preparing a third bid for him, I think Arteta may likely secure his signature because he's going to have more playing time in Arsenal than Manchester city but Arsenal won't pay the £100 that West Ham United is demanding unless they will have a clause to his contract.

Arsenal are serious about getting Declan Rice’s signature and have had two of their bids rejected already, I’m also shocked how much West Ham United are requesting for Declan Rice’s signature and it also reminded me Harry Maguire was signed for a whopping £80m plus and he is not even performing half the expectations for an 80million Euros worth player. Declan Rice is a good player but £100million is just too much to be demanding for a player from West Ham United.

Many fans feel that Sheik Jassim's ownership of Manchester United will bring in a slew of new, quality players who will help the club win the league. They believe the existing owners are no longer capable of managing the club and that the Arab man should take over ownership and control of the team going forward. I'm not sure what's holding up the transfer of ownership, or if they haven't reached an agreement yet, but I'm still hoping for a green light at the end of the deal.

I don't know what really went wrong at this time of the reign of the Glazer family. During their ownership, Manchester United won many trophies and the team was at the height of its performance. The problem Manchester has now is wrong coaches that have not been able to meet up to expectations. Since lost Sir Alex Ferguson retired, things have not been the same. The club has had about twenty-three managers but none of them is as successful as the Scottish manager. In his twenty-six years as manager of the club Sir Alex. won win 13 Premier Leagues, 10 Community Shields, five FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions League titles and three other trophies. The takeover of the club by Sheikh Jassim will be good but success is not only derives from money.

I like the personality of the Prince who voluntarily abdicated his position as Crown Prince to his younger brother because he had no intention of becoming King of Qatar. He will be good a owner only if they get the right coach.

Manchester City officially announced that Mateo Kovacic would take place in midfield, in addition, Manchester City is negotiating to bring Declan Rice from West Ham so if the agreement occurs then there is no doubt the midfield of Man City they already have a tough squad Mateo Kovacic, Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri and (Declan Rice) I can say these 4 players will be the strongest in midfield. Next season I chose Manchester City to secure the title I haven't seen other teams that are able to compete with them, but this is not final, at least we have to wait until the transfer window is closed.

Currently, Manchester City doesn't have any competition in the Premier League. That didn't relax after their triple trophies. They are still buying more quality players so that the team will maintain its quality. I have not seen any club that is prepared for next season like City. There is also a sense of good relationship between the club owners and Pepe Guardiola because he always gets what he wants.

If Pochettino really wants Raphinha then maybe it won't happen because Xavi doesn't want to let him go. Raphinha is a key player in Xavi's game plan next season, not only him but I think Dembele is the same. There is a possibility that Raphinha will be sold, but not now because Barcelona still really need him.

Pochettino seems very rushed in his team building plans. He must control his desires and evaluate the team's performance, because of course there is still the upcoming transfer market that he can use to find the players he needs. Chelsea don't have to buy a lot of players, so their transfer policy has to be controlled.

The new Chelsea coach seems really ambitious to make big changes in the Chelsea squad. So that until now actually he is more focused on selling players. He even managed to release two players to the Arab League. And now, with the money the club got from selling these players, it seems that Mauricio Pochettino is optimistic about being able to bring in the players he needs. And he seems to have included Rapinha in his plans. But as you said, Xavi will not let Rapinha go this season. because it is true that Barcelona still needs him badly. Moreover, Barcelona will most likely fight harder this time in the Champions League. So that Xavi certainly has to have an adequate squad that can keep the team's performance well maintained and remain consistent even though they have to focus on two or more competitions.

[Rockstarguy]

Since the club is currently in the acquisition process, of course this will disrupt Ten Hag's process of finding several players for them to bring to United. if they fail and are late in the transfer market this summer. I think Ten Hag should take care of his squad until the winter transfer window opens. and they can look for as few players as they can get. the most important thing now is that Ten Hag must be able to maximize the players they currently have.

Even though at this time several players were very closely linked with joining Manchester United. But with the current conditions. Maybe Ten Heg won't be able to get the player he has been eyeing in the transfer market. But I believe that even with the current squad Ten Heg will definitely be able to make the most of it. But it would be better if there were some additional strength from new players from the current transfer market which is still ongoing.

If the current issue in Manchester United will make Eric Ten hag not to sign new player into the club that is to say Manchester United will still use the same set of players they already have and with this it is expected for Manchester United to still display the same performance like that of last season, I think if this eventually happens that Manchester United is unable to sign in players it will really affect the performance of the team in the next season.  How the team performs in the beginning of the season  matters alot.

Waiting for the winter season to reach to sign players is a long time to me and this is the best time to get good players. In the winter market it is not easy to get quality players in the winter market.  This is a terrible news for Manchester United that may really affect them in the next season.  Next season Manchester United have lot of works for them, they seriously need a better squad expecially for the Champions league and also to be among the top Premier league team.

Manchester city has been officially pulling out from the race to get declan rice. To be honest if city's bid was triggering arsenal to create crazy bid for declan rice. I thought that if westham gonna accept arsenal's bid.
Is it a conspiracy? 

According to the daily mail reporter, if city has been taking this step as the club thought if arsenal's bid is very high.

https://twitter.com/Jack_Gaughan/status/1673983539744735233

City is now willing to go even further in the race to get declan rice. Arsenal must have prepared such money to get him from westham. I hope that the deal will be made soon between arsenal and westham. It's just matter of time until arsenal gonna get its priority for summer transfer season.
westham must be thankful to the manchester city caused by its last bid triggering arsenal to go all in to get declan rice.

[borovichok]

Arsenal are serious about getting Declan Rice’s signature and have had two of their bids rejected already, I’m also shocked how much West Ham United are requesting for Declan Rice’s signature and it also reminded me Harry Maguire was signed for a whopping £80m plus and he is not even performing half the expectations for an 80million Euros worth player. Declan Rice is a good player but £100million is just too much to be demanding for a player from West Ham United.

Manchester City made a big bid for Rice, but West Ham turned it down, requesting an increase in the price to match the £100 million. Declan Rice is overhyped, and investing a high sum of money on the Englishman is absurd. I know he's an important player for the Hammers and it would be a huge loss if he left, which is why they're making every effort to profit massively from his deal. Furthermore, David Moyes hunts for a potential replacement for the departing star, it will undoubtedly take time before they find someone who can match Declan Rice's remarkable performance.

There is also a sense of good relationship between the club owners and Pepe Guardiola because he always gets what he wants.

I think it is safe to say that Pep Guardiola knows how to win the Premier League, and that's very scary for the rest of the teams in the league, look at how many EPL titles he has won since he became manager at City, some he won on the final day, some with just a point, it doesn't matter, he just knows how to win it. Last season was their third title in a row, if they win it next season, they'll create a new record and become the first team to win the EPL four times consecutively, but who is to say they can't do it, which team is going to stop City, personally i can't see any. Pep is prolly going to turn the EPL into a farmers' league.

Declan Rice is a good player but £100million is just too much to be demanding for a player from West Ham United.

Declan is their best asset right now so it's understandable to want more. I guess it's also safe to assume that West Ham is trying to recuperate from the bad decision of acquiring Maguire at that price hehe. It looks like they are still lucky even after City withdrew since there are recent reports that they're finalizing a £105 million deal with Arsenal.

The Gunners have been fighting it out with City for the midfielder all summer and it remains to be seen if West Ham will finally accept this latest proposal.

Honestly I don't think Manchester city will match Arsenal’s bid. Getting Rice is more important to Arsenal to reach that next level than it is to them, they already have Rodri and wouldn't want to break their transfer record for a position they don't desperately need. I have never seen Arsenal go above £100m for a player, which means that the size of the latest Arsenal bid speaks volume of how much they want Rice, if he indeed wants to join them, he should tell West ham to be flexible and allow the deal go through.

West Ham are holding out for a 100 million euro bid for Rice who has made 245 appearances for the club. It remains to be seen who will win the race for the midfielder's signature.

This is what Arsenal need to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League and I think Declan Rice will consider his departure.

True, Manchester City have no eager need of Declan Rice like Arsenal do based on the availability and form of Rodri in the defensive midfield. Arsenal keen interest on West Ham £100m Declan Rice explains how serious and ready the gunners are for the next season as their highest last signing amount was £75m Pepe from Lille.  But then in my very opinion this is coming some how  late, cause if such amount was spent last summer on the needed players then Arsenal would have been able to secure the EPL title last season.

Come to think of it, the price at which West Ham has placed on Declan Rice is way too high. I hope this is not one of another English media hype like they did with the likes of Harry Maguire few seasons ago from Leicester to UTD.

Pep is prolly going to turn the EPL into a farmers' league.

That is what makes it scary, that he wins those titles often times in a way however it is needed. When you look at the last season it was "only" 5 points between Manchester City and Arsenal, but I think it was only 5 points because Guardiola knew that it is enough. The scary thing about his team is that it looks as if they could play even harder if needed. If Arsenal would have finished the season with 90 points, Manchester City would have won one more game. They lost one and tied one game out of their last two games. But I am sure that would not have happened if they still needed to score more points.

[sokani]

Arsenal have made two bids which are likely to be as high as 100 million euros, so Arsenal make more sense in my opinion.

English players are over-hyped and overpriced. Declan Rice is no doubt a quality player but £105 is too much, Manchester City has pulled out of the race because of the huge amount Westham is asking for. I really do not see any difference between Rice and McTominay, only that the later is not consistent because he's given less games or minutes.

Glazer family is the red devil itself, they have reduced the club to nothing, that's why Manchester united is struggling every season and have lost their place to Manchester city. i don't expect any change in the club till the Glazer family leave the club. the club has incur huge debt because of their recklessness and poor management skills in the club. Ten tag has performed absolutely and he must be given a serious attention to pilot the club to a greater height. He can only achieve it through a good owner, who has passion for the club and football.Glazer family must Go

The takeover has lingered for 7 good months and there's nothing up till this very moment. This goes to prove the Glazers bad handling of the club that reduced its performance in english and international football. The protracted silence is killing everyone and it's affecting the club's transfer activities, I just can't wait for them to pack their bags and baggages and leave United.
 

[naira]

Last season was their third title in a row, if they win it next season, they'll create a new record and become the first team to win the EPL four times consecutively, but who is to say they can't do it, which team is going to stop City, personally i can't see any. Pep is prolly going to turn the EPL into a farmers' league.

I won't worry about Manchester City next season, because so far only they deserve a trophy regardless of the changes other teams make but still Manchester City is difficult to beat easily. When he learned that big clubs were hunting for players, Manchester City also got involved, indicating that Pep Guardiola does not want to relax just because he has won a Trable Winner. Manchester City has full support financially, plus there is no need to doubt the management of Pep Guardiola's team because as the best coach in the world, Pep Guardiola deserves this support.

There is no time to relax (that's what Pep Guardiola said) they will continue and continue to improve their performance while they can and not be caught off guard by the surprises that other clubs have prepared for next season.
