Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

And Romelu Lukaku deal is being completed officially. He went to Italy this morning to have his medical and sign on a loan deal for Inter. Chelsea must be really regretful for signing him as they have had a problematic relationship with him for some time. After this deal I guess that Chelsea would like to sign a new striker. As they haven't sold Lukaku on a permanent deal I wonder if they will also go for a striker on loan too. Because their priority is signing a defender now.

That hope has resurfaced since Erik Ten Hag was appointed as the new captain of Manchester United. I hope that hope is not like what happened in the past where everything happened beyond expectations. Ole's failure continued with Rangnick destroying the hopes of Manchester United supporters. It is indeed difficult for ETH to build a team from the ground up, but hopefully in their hands it will be even better.

I do not agree with you, Ten Hag is not building Manchester united from the scratch or ground, this is false. Ten Hag arrives at MUFC and met great attacking options and excess players and he is doing the right thing. Letting go of players excess to the team such as matic, mata, lingard, pogba, baillly, jones, telles, brandon and so on.

The core of the manchester united team remains. Maguire, Shaw, Sancho, Rashford, Scott / Fred (back ups). Dont forget the same set of players got 3rd, and 2nd positions in the league with 5 semifinal outings and a final showing vs Villareal. They did not turn bad over night

I think that Arsenal will play a good season the next year. With Serge Gnaby and with Gabriel Jesus they're going to have a great attack and they can compete for higher place on the championship. Hope that Arteta will

design a good tactic for them in way to let play them with the maximum of their potential.

Mikel Arteta is making all his efforts to sign potential players for next season competition, it's a good time for Arsenal as they are actively anticipating in the transfer window. The gunners landing Gabriel Jesus has already set it all for them in their attacks. Gunners next target is Gnabry, if sign to the club. It will be a good pair for both the Brazilian and German. Arteta is signing the necessary players he needs presently and he won't hesitate to bring in Gnabry if he have the chance to do so. 

Having Gabriel Jesus was a long plan for Arteta. The movement of Lacazzette and Auba show's clearly indicated that they need to replace them, Nketiah should be the replacement for Per Emerick Aubameyang ,and Gabriel Jesus for Lacazzette..  I initially felt Raphina was going to end up with Arsenal but things really haven't gone as planned. Sergi Gnabry shouldn't return to Arsenal, I get that he won't get an increase in salary at Bayern Munich, but he deserves better, coming from a Champions League football club to a lesser ?
For me, i feel it's not worth it. Should move to a club playing the Champions League next season.

 He has won some trophies since he's move to Bayern Munich. Although he's been loaned around the Bundesliga having one more year and no sign of extension shows they have no plans for him.

As they haven't sold Lukaku on a permanent deal I wonder if they will also go for a striker on loan too. Because their priority is signing a defender now.

I believe Chelsea will make the deal permanent after the end of next season, so that should not be a problem. Of course Chelsea would completely regret re-signing Lukaku as it was a failed transfer, not to talk of the money they spent (or rather wasted) on him, well that is football, and these sort of things are always bound to happen. A striker now becomes a priority for Chelsea next season, bringing a marksman to Stamford Bridge is now as important as signing defenders because Timo Werner can't lead the line for Chelsea, he is not consistent and he doesn't score often.

This was not a surprise from what went on over the season with that interview and him eluding to wanting to return to play in Serie A.
If a player is not happy playing in a certain league no matter how much money they put on his lap then it just is not worth it for either side to continue their relationship.

Imagine Barcelona wants to get Maguire in exchange for De Jong + extra money but ManU is refusing that deal and wants to count on him for the next season.. Hopefully he will perform better than this one
In case De Jong deal will fail, the other alternative will be Tielemans from Leicester.
CR7 will stay in ManU most likely and Eriksen is on the way to join them if he accepts.

[jakdanyel]

Manchester United have proven already that they want to get rid of Harry Maguire at the earliest opportunity now. They offered him as a plus in a deal to sign Frenkie de Jong but Barcelona turned it down. Barcelona did the right thing by the way.    However I'm curious about if Manchester United will succeed in selling him before next season begins. I would like to see a different defender in his place in the starting eleven by next season. Otherwise they can have serious problems on defending again.

For the first time, Erik ten Hag joins Manchester United in training. It's the training that will lead to the first success, and the rest will follow. There is a lot of hope that Erik will bring back the joy, happiness, and unity that have been missing from Manchester United for so long. It is likely that football will improve under Eric, but Man United fans must be patient, as he has a difficult task to handle. After working with the players on his first day, he gained insight into how to bring this team together. It is only our hope that this season will be competitive.

Manchester united fans are expecting a lot from Erik Ten Hag like making the team to be strong again and connecting the players in every game they play to bring victory at the end. The way things are going I think Manchester United next season will be different in performance from that of last season,  Erik ten Hag will put the team in order.

Lukaku is used to Italia style of football, Lukaku lack playing time in Chealsea because of Tuchel style of football. Loaning him out is better than keeping him off the peach.

It is important to follow contract of your players to when to renew them. Manchester United were careless to wait until the end of pogba's contract before negotiating on renewing his contract thereby giving him chance to either renew or move. Maybe Erik Ten Hag doesn't have Pogba in his plans for the coming season, probably that is the reason why they let him leave to Juventus. I prefer Pogba to Maguire, therefore I do not understand why he's treated special in the team.

Yeah I really agree with you, Manchester United was really careless of letting go of Pogba, though I think they were tired of him and they don't want him anymore at the team. Cause Pogba is a good and experience midfielder, though sometimes he looks unserious on the pitch, but no doubt he created alot Impact with the team. Perhaps it seems like Erik ten Haag don't want him at the club, the coach is trying to recruit new players that are ready to play for the sucess of the team, a player that will live self pride and play his best for the team. Pogba is a talented midfielder, but I think one of his problem is self pride, he is so full of himself sometimes, he plays for his personal interest not the teams interest. The coach really needs to take note of that, to put this team in other I think discipline and effort should come first. As for Maguire, he is one of the major problems the team is having, I don't see any reason of keeping such players in the team, they should better loan him or sell him.

I think Maguire will stay in Man Utd and wont leave for Barcelona for sure. I think no one in the world currently wants Maguire in his line up. I still cannot believe that he has so much credit in Man Utd squad after so many mistakes to continue to play and even worst be a captain

Since Erik Ten Hag came to the club it feels like there are already positive changes in the club, new policies will be put in place for better development. I think Manchester United will get good players now due to Erik Ten Hag's influence. Lets hope the situation with the former managers will not be the case this time and things will get better. I remember when Ole, Ralf Ragnick came to the club, they gave same energy and expectations were not met. I hope history doesn't repeat itself.

I have never rated Paul Pogba low, if I ever thought of doing, it shouldn't be between Harry Maguire. Lol. It funny how Manchester United failed to bid 75 million for Koullibaly at Napoli and did for Harry Maguire, why ? The later was cheaper and had pace, for a proper player and defender likely to spread he's wing's and shine at Manchester United and in the premier league.

About Paul Pogba, he lacked discipline, the Premier League isn't an easy league to play,  The fans and some past players had high expectations from him, expecting a week to week top notch performance but he couldn't, due to bad tactics and also not having a good defensive midfielder behind him.

But, it's not a good way to loss a player twice and not gaining a single profit from he's sale twice to Juventus. Erik Ten Hag must have communicated with the board to let him go else they should have made offer's for an extension of contract.

[Velvet78]

It looks like the competition for Leicester's talented midfielder Youri Tielemans can be fired up in the next days. Manchester United are also thinking of a move for him currently. Arsenal also have been monitoring him for a long time but Manchester United might intervene a possible deal. Manchester United's priority seems Frenkie de Jong for now but things are still not crystal clear about him. If they fail in signing him then they can really make Tielemans their next target. However it would still be difficult to predict his preference as both teams are in the Europa League.

[TelolettOm]

I really can't imagine this happening. OMG what will happen to Barcelona then, stop this imagination because I really want to laugh again
Maguire is a special player, with a special hidden mission every time he is playing in a team 
Well, still getting him in the club means likely gambling, he may be better or worse, for we can also see his performance in his country.
If Man United still maintains Maguire, this will really hurt De Gea

The problem now is who wants Maguire with a price and salary that is big enough but with performance like this? lol.
Pogba was on the verge of being in the Ole era and now that his contract is up there really isn't anything to keep and indeed this is something good for United and Pogba because they have the advantage of this. For Pogba he will try to rediscover his lost form and United they will at least start a new regeneration for their squad.

I don't even want to fantasize about this because it's beyond my imagination lol.
Now De Jong I feel it is almost certain to be a United player for next season especially there are some rumors saying that now the parties from Barcelona and Manchester United are in the final stages and finalizing all the documents needed to complete the transfer.
Ronaldo I still hope he will still wear the Manchester United jersey for at least one more season.

[nurilham]

Most lucky with Arsenal success get Gabriel Jesus sign's for next season because bad reputation from Arsenal not participant on Champion League make them always failed with getting star player, -snip-

Not participating in UCL isn't a bad reputation, Arsenal is qualified for Europa League next season. If they failed to sign star players previously, it doesn't mean caused by Arsenal bad reputation. Arsenal may be unlucky, they were competing with top teams to sign the same players. Anyway, Gabriel Jesus is also lucky to be a part of Arsenal squad. He can have an opportunity to play regularly or be the main player on Arsenal attacking line. Please don't underestimate Arsenal! They are one of the top clubs in EPL.

By the way, there is information that another reason why Barcelona wanted to sell de Jong to Manchester United, in addition to a large sum for the transfer itself, is that in the coming season, under the terms of the contract, Barcelona should significantly increase the salary of a football player. So the benefit for Barcelona may be double, about 85 million with bonuses for the transfer itself, plus there will be no increase in the load on the team's payroll. There is also information that de Jong himself told both clubs that he does not like that both sides insist on his departure from Barcelona.
