Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

PSG Goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola have been successfully transferred on loan to West Ham. He was transferred last season also on loan to Fulham, although, Fulham got relegated. He 28 years old Goalkeeper said, he will try his best to help West Ham this season. I see Alphonse to be an experience and talented Goalkeeper.

Yeah he really performed great from Fulham last season. He pulled off some amazing saves in last season but despite his excellent performance throughout the season Fulham were unable to stay out of relegation. Great for West Ham and Areola as West Ham will get a good and talented goalkeeper for this season and Areola also would get good amount of football unlike in PSG where there already good amount of experienced players in GK position like Donnarumma and Navas.

Areola had a main position in PSG even in the season Gigi Buffon played for PSG. The appearance of Donnaruma makes his position worse and become the third choice in PSG. He is brave enough to leave the club before a new season. He is a good goal keeper but does not belong to the best goalkeepers in the world.

Ever since Ederson arrived at Manchester City in 2017, he have been really helpful to the club. Manchester city took a good step by extenting he contract. He have kept 95 clean sheets in 192 appearances in Manchester City, and I think he will do more greatly for the team.

Ederson stepped up to a higher level since the transfer to Manchester City and he help Pep Guardiola to run his tiki-taka and ball possession philosophy very smoothly. Before the appearance of Becker in Liverpool, Ederson is the best goalkeeper in Premier League.

Despite of that, generally, Ederson is the best goalkeeper in Premier League in the last 4 seasons. Becker does not have as stable performance as Ederson.

It seems that Alphonse Areola is used to being a loan player, because if I look at the available data, it seems that Areola is a player who continues to be on loan because every season he always changes clubs as well. Don't understand what PSG's target is, because Areola has often changed clubs and has had enough playing time, so I think PSG should get his services but yes we know PSG are a rich team who seem to be better off signing the best goalkeeper at the moment like Donnarumma. Well, hopefully Alphonse Areola can show his best performance with West Ham, because maybe next season Areola can be fully owned by West Ham.

According to the news, Manchester City's 27-year-old goalkeeper Ederson is getting ready to extend his contract for 3 more years. It would be really great for him and the team. He has been one of the greatest goalkeepers in Manchester City's history, in my opinion. It's better for City to keep him.

He is a good goalkeeper, but for the level of Manchester City one could have taken a more experienced goalkeeper. Although it is possible that club is an expectation that Ederson will become a graduate of the Manchester City school, that is, he is a very promising goalkeeper and he will be trained and gain experience in the team, and so the club can make him a world-class goalkeeper.

There will be a question on what will Solskjaer do with Van de Beek this season either he give him more time or will he keep him out of the squad for most of the periods?
He transformed from main player a in Ajax to a seat warmer on the bench between him and the nearest supporter, a distance of only two meters.
This player was not brought to an end, but was at the height of giving.
It is true that the coach's choices do not interfere with them, especially when they give a result, but Van de Beek He never had the opportunity to adapt, and he might get a a chance in a match and not offer anything.
I don't think the player knows that he is in the ranks of United. He needs to be  running with the flow this year the only thing will get him those chances if Pogba gets sold this summer which is possible given his situation.

I really feel bad for all these young talents and he is not the only one. He was the star player at Ajax but there were also other superstars I argue are even bigger, at least 2 I can remember who went to Chelsea and also almost did not play anything sometimes not even on the bench. I remember not one single guy scored more than 10 goals at Chelsea and they had top strikers from US and Germany.

Bad choices? Haaland I guess making right choices so far.

There is nothing weird about how the Van de Beek situation has been handled at Manchester United. He came into the team knowing he is a back up #10, a new league, a new environment, culture and importantly a different team set up. VDB mostly last season was just unlucky with injuries, missing out when he shoulda been playing with other midfielders injured.

This season is different, VDB is fresh returning from injury, baulked up his shoulders and laps and ready for the physicality of the premier league. My advice- watch out for ole balls

I don't think the assumption to begin with was to have Van de Beek as a backup No10, he can play in various roles in the midfield, and looking at his stellar performance at Ajax before Man Utd went all out for him shows there was supposed problems he could solve for the team, but adapting to the league and injuries also played its part in his limited performance, but Ole must however show that he still remains within the teams plans in order to keep him at the club.

It is weird for Van de Beek because Manchester United considered him as a very important player for them to release Pogba from defense. Nevertheless, he has never been given real chances to show since the transfer to Old Trafford.

I feel like Solskjaer did not want to have Van de Beek and that transfer was finished by someone else, and don't have any interests from Solskjaer.

I really feel bad for all these young talents and he is not the only one.

Ziyech did not have good first season in Chelsea and he used to be a very important player in Ajax. He together with de Beek and de Jong made a very strong midfield area for Ajax and brought that club to Champions League semi final.

Premier League is not an easy league to adapt to for newcomers. No matter how talented they are.

He has been one of the greatest goalkeepers in Manchester City's history, in my opinion. It's better for City to keep him.

Ederson is still quite reliable and for a 27 year old lad he still has a long way to go.
And as far as I know goal keepers get better with age so we are yet to see the best from him in the next 3 to 4 seasons.

This is a very quality signing for Chelsea that needs a backup goalkeeper,and bettinelli is a quality signing that can even compete with their first choice keeper.While at Fulham he was very good,so this is a bargain buy for Chelsea.

There can never be two three kings in one kingdom, either someone is going to rot on the bench or they could be planning to dispose of one of the keepers with time. I think Kepa's time at Chelsea might be running out. He was so error-prone as compared to Mendy's performance.

I feel mendy has  been the preferred choice for the longest time and they are better off letting kepa out so that he grows career wise.

Van de beek was one of the highly rated player when he was first signed to Manchester United,but is seems he is no longer in Ole's plan.He has struggled to adapt to the premier league system of play.And I think if Ole gives him more playing time,he will do well.He has also struggled with injury and the coach should also look at that.But undoubtedly,Van de beek is a very good and talented player who can improve the squad if the coach believes in him.

Donyell Malen joined and signed a contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2026 in a £26 million transfer. Liverpool have also previously been linked with this one player. Liverpool's failure to sign Malen makes their job seem quite heavy in the transfer market this time, there are still several names associated with Liverpool, but it seems the names of these players are still just rumors. Klopp is one of genius coach, as long as there are not many long injury problems suffered by Liverpool last season, there is a potential for Liverpool to try to get the trophy back and race with Chelsea, MU, City and Leicester for title or at least finished on positions 2 or 3.

There is lot of time in transfer window and I am sure Konate wouldn't be the only transfer to secure this window. They know that their mid is quite weak with Wijnaldum leaving Liverpool so I am sure they would be surely looking for a strong midfielder and there are lot in market. At this point there is Saul and Pogba rumours going on and I think anyone out of both would be good signing in midfield area.

League race this time won't be that easy. Lot of teams are making good signings like Aston Villa, West Ham, Leicester and that is making the competition bit rough in my opinion, but lets see. Its not that far.. only two weeks left for new season to start.

Liverpool needs a new blood in the offensive line and some vitality in the midfield but in defense they are covered and despite the signing with Konate to support their defense, but the return of  Van Djik is the most important contract this season, regardless of the contracts that the club may make.
His presence in the fighting and leadership personality had a great role in Achieving the league and before him the Champions League for me is one of the 3 best defenders in the world .

I dont think he is able to play as the playmaker for the team. He is more of a box to box midfielder and he should be pretty good in defending but the problem with last season aside from him being injured was that Ole need all of the midfielder to be creative then help with attacking. Thats probably the reason that he was left out because in term of attacking, the others were better than him

but Ole must however show that he still remains within the teams plans in order to keep him at the club.

He has the potential though but potential is not good enough to make it to the starting lineup because he needs to show good performances whenever he is placed on the team

Also remember that van de beek is a very young player, he is only 23-24 years old and that is not really that high, especially in our today's football where players may end up playing until 40 years of age, that means dude could play as much as 15 more seasons, but likely possibility is at least 10-12 more seasons easily.

So maybe United is just giving him time on smaller and lesser important games, put him on friendlies and practices/trainings, and basically all around evolving him to number one option OR maybe just sell him if he doesn't show any decent improvement. Most of the time unless you are a huge name in football, you are first put to test and if you end up actually providing something then you will be asked to actually play, but very rare amount of players giving the shirt on their first game, usually you need to show something in the team itself as well.

Do you think Ben White is a good transfer deal for Arsenal? I mean he's a talented young player but 50 million £ seems too much, isn't it?
Arteta looks happy about it. I hope he performs well and maybe Gunners will sell him for higher price later. 5 year deal is secure enough for the player. I wonder which other defenders you can buy with same amount of money, I still feel it's overpriced. Hopefully return of that investment would be good in the pitch.

Actually Arsenal did not confirm that Ben White transfer fee was £50 million this value is just speculation from the media so it can't be ascertained its accuracy
Based on transfermarkt the price for Ben White is £28 million, usually the price of players does not differ much from the value there

Some ManU news: Ole warned his international players who played EURO and Copa America that they might not participate in Leeds game if they weren't fit enough but the sad part is Rashford risk to miss that match since he has to be operated for shoulder injury as soon as the surgeon is available so in less than a week, other sources said imminently! source

For these deals that will bring Arsenal back to the fore?!!!!
Arsenal need to bolster their defences, no doubt, but 50 million pounds in a young player who has played in two clubs that are most exposed to goals is a great adventure. Arsenal to return to need a great coach first and fire deals second.
Arsenal spent the past seasons, but did not improve the investment.
Also they are offering contract extention to Xhaka with a deal to keep him to summer 2025 .
They think it's a smart move, but it's open, they bribe press like Romano and others in order to promote the idea, Xhaka has a personal agreement with Rome and will go there inevitably sooner or later, so Arsenal signed a replacement for him early in the Mercato, the difference is currently only 2 million euros And Pinto will pay it when he gets rid of the salaries of one or two players, it is only a matter of time.

I've not actually watched Ben White play,but according to sources that I can confide in,I heard he's a very good defender,very versatile and solid at the back.I also heard he's ambidextrous.It is yet to be seen what he can contribute to Arsenal team,but let's hope he is a good signing.

I've heard that Liverpool are still making an effort to sign Gladbach's young (24) central midfielder Florian Neuhaus. He is a target for Jurgen Klopp but it seems like Liverpool won't be able to meet the demand of the team which is £34m. Neuhaus got 8 goals and 10 assists in 45 games in the last season. He could be a good alternative if he is signed.

Liverpool are after Sassuolo's young (23) player Manuel Locatelli also. He played really great in the Euro 2020. Let's see if they are able to sign him.

It is not a stat for a normal central defender and it reminds me about top-notch central defenders like Sergio Ramos or John Terry. It is more impressive as Neuhas has 10 assists. He is a very good investment for the future of Liverpool defense system.

Liverpool are after Sassuolo's young (23) player Manuel Locatelli also. He played really great in the Euro 2020. Let's see if they are able to sign him.

About Locatelli, I don't think he will have intention to leave Serie A because there are very few Italian players can succeed in Premier League. Only Zola and Di Canio as I know. In Liverpool, there are Aquilani and Borrini who failed in AnField stadium.

If Locatelli want to join bigger clubs, he would choose one in Serie A.
