Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[JeromeTash]

Manchester City too? It might not be a very serious news for now. Sterling and Grealish are the left wingers in the team at the moment. However Sterling is likely to leave to join Chelsea too of course. If that deal happens then maybe Manchester City can think of Neymar.

I mean, if they can offload sterling and then bench Grealish. Then why not?

If you look at most clubs around, Manchester City maybe the few that can afford Neymer's salary, and there is also guaranteed Champion's league football. Do you think a player like Neymar can go to Manchester United, well aware that there is no champion's league football there for next season

I have heard about some news like Serge Gnabry is likely to be sold for 40 million pounds or so to a Premier League club. However I don't see the amount realistic now. Because his current value is 65 million euros on Transfermarkt and he can be considered as a young player too as he is 26. Maybe he has one year left for his contract to expire but I don't expect this to be a factor for his transfer fee to decrease significantly. If really one of the Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal sign him for only that amount it would be a very favourable deal.

[Avirunes]

Whether he himself wants to stay at this club is the question. There are rumours that he could also move to Roma in Italy, also a good club and he could try his hand there. Besides, I think this option is better than Chelsea and Manchester United. The league is familiar to him, he will adapt quickly. But reaching the Champions League final with a team like this is unlikely

Roma is a good club but are they in CL? No so that's same like United. Those are just fake rumours and nothing else. At this point, it is not clear whether he will move or not. Ronaldo wants to move but his salary will pull lot out of the next club so I don't think Roma can handle that also. Besides I think he is gonna move to a club where a club is missing a striker and right now I think Chelsea is missing with Lukaku's departure so I feel likely that he will move to Chelsea if he is gonna move. But I still think he will eventually stay. Lot can change around things if United wants to and it all depends on United to give something convincing in front of Ronaldo to believe in United they are serious about their goals in next season.

By the way Chelsea's interest in Neymar would cost them a lot of money at the same time. Maybe they wouldn't see his transfer fee like a problem but Neymar's current wage might be a problem for them. He is earning 40m pounds per year and he might not be likely to accept a big pay cut as well.

Will Chelsea be able to sign both between Ronaldo and Neymar?
It is believed that Chelsea are ready to sign Ronaldo from Man United and this has been the talk of Jorge Mendes' agent, but if both of them were signed with Neymar, this would certainly be difficult for Chelsea's finances, even though I know now Chelsea is not in a financial crisis but Neymar's current salary is really big. And I also assume with you that if Neymar moves to Chelsea the wages will still be high as well.

[izsara]

Completely aware about the negotiations and meeting between player and coach.
According to news that club will submit a bid after first was refused by  City.
Dembele ? Rumors that all they are. Xavi wants him around the squad.

Xavi seems determined to keep Dembele at the Camp Nou but I think this is quite difficult because if I'm not mistaken Dembele also always asks for a salary increase there which makes this seem imposing.
With the money City have and Barcelona's financial needs I still feel that if the price offered is right then it is not impossible for Dembele to leave.

it is very possible, especially now that the Barcelona team is experiencing a financial crisis. Dembele is a quality player but it is a shame that the injuries that often come to him make it difficult for him to develop but at this time not only Manchester City are willing to sign him, in rumors circulating there are 4 other teams who want to sign Dembele including Chelsea, after Lukaku's departure, now Chelsea are in the process of signing. want to bring in another striker and their main target is Dembele.

He did perform well but when he was at Dortmund while at Barcelona he was just a player who couldn't play there because indeed he was just a substitute for the bench with a very fantastic price. Funny thing is still asking for a raise there
If indeed the price offered by other clubs to bring Dembele, I think it would be very good if this player was released and looked for other alternatives to become a replacement.

[judas]

Chelsea are likely to send Hakim Ziyech on a loan deal soon. They are in talks with Milan now and there will be an option to buy for him too. Chelsea are even thinking of making the buy option an obligation too. He hasn't been an impressive player for Chelsea so far so I find this decision quite right for them. Milan are looking for attackers so they might benefit from the situation nicely. Ziyech is still a talented midfielder even if he hasn't been able to give the expected for Chelsea. Maybe he can start performing better for Milan.

It won't have a big impact on Dembele away from Barcelona, it's better that he should be sold and choose another alternative that can better support Xavi's needs for defence. Since Barcelona need a funding boost, Dembele could be on the list for the next Barcelona transfer, there's still time left.

I actually expected United to make some purchases. It is of course also possible that they consciously want to wait a little longer. There are also a number of players that have to cost a lot of money, in principle you should not be in a hurry. It can also be a tactic to wait as long as possible in the hope that other clubs are not interested and then try to get a player for a lower amount. And United already have a nice team, but I am curious how long it will take Ten Hag to make a really good team. That doesn't happen in a few games, it takes time.

Ten Hag appears to be aiming high, but I'm not sure why he has been lagging behind while others are buying more players to strengthen their defence and attack before the start of the pre-season, perhaps Manchester United is trying to get better offers, but with the recent ruckus surrounding the Ronaldo transfer, I doubt if Ten Hag and Ronaldo have this symbiotic relationship. Ronaldo undying love for Manchester United is no longer as strong as it was before he left for Real Madrid, if Manchester United doesn't get a better offer before September, I hope he brings in some trophies to Old Trafford else his journey for football might be coming to retirement, going home at 37 age is not bad at all.

Sincerely, I don't see the direction Manchester united is heading. They have been very slow in their transfer dealings, Christiano Ronaldo is not seeing any sign of improvement, I wouldn't blame him if he decides to leave, he chose Manchester United above Manchester City, that should show his loyalty to Manchester United. Ronaldo came back to United to help the team and to win trophies but after a poor season and a change of manager, the club has not made any move to sign new players. It's in his own interest that he moves to another club.

The chronology is like that, Ronaldo came to Manchester United to prove that he would be able to win trophies with Manchester United last season but in fact many problems occurred at Manchester United last season starting from the change of coach and also Manchester United performance seemed to lose control in the second half of the season. I'm not surprised if he wants to choose to leave the club dubbed the Red Devils because Ronaldo is a typical title-hungry player. Chelsea have been the closest team to Ronaldo this summer, Chelsea are a very ambitious club in this transfer market they have been linked with several star players like Ronaldo and Neymar.

You understand that rent is not the best option for the club and for the player. Milan can get a temporary benefit in that the player will try to show a better game so that Chelsea want to return him back, that is, for Milan it will be a temporary benefit. Maybe that's fine with them, but to me it looks like a losing trade on all fronts. Ziyech is also not against this lease, which means he wants to spend more time on the field and not on the bench, which is logical.

To engage in waiting in the transfer market, at a time when your competitors are actively engaged in purchases, is a risky and obviously losing strategy, because entering the market when the best assets have already snapped up is so-so. Instead of buying the right players cheaper, on the contrary, you may face a situation where you have to overpay for mediocre players because there are no other alternatives. Therefore, I do not think that Manchester United does this on purpose, it's just that the club does not have the best positions in advance compared to its competitors in order to make really breakthrough transfers. The situation with de Jong is indicative, who explains his reluctance to move to Manchester United by the fact that the club will not participate in the Champions League next season.

[CryptoPanda]

If Ronaldo doesn't want to stay at Manchester United anymore, he should leave. The team is performing poorly in every aspect and they have been slow in the transfer market which is not expected from them after a poor season and missing out on the champions league football next season. Probably he is not convinced with the direction the management is going with the club. Ronaldo needs to move to a more ambitious team. Signing to Manchester City wouldn't be a bad idea.

I second that as well. Manchester United are not convincing at all, they were not convincing at all last season, and they are not in this transfer window, if i were to be a player of Manchester United with a huge ambition i'd also be considering leaving the team so as not to waste another season of my career. The club/fans seem to be putting too much importance on their new manager rather than making good signings and build their team around quality players. Having said that, Ronaldo is in a somewhat difficult situation, i really do not know which team will sign him, especially because of his wages and age, let us keep our fingers crossed and see how it all pans out.

Ronaldo must be aware, he will not get anything again next season if indeed he still stays at MU considering the current condition of MU does not allow to lift the trophy.
So indeed he will look for a club that can at least provide a little refreshment for his thirst to win trophies even though this doesn't look like it's good for MU and Ronaldo himself, especially if he does go to another EPL club.

Chelsea will end up not signing both Neymar and Ronaldo. The case of Neymar is extreme as his salary will be high for Chelsea and there is no guarantee that he will give Chelsea what they need. Then Ronaldo going to a rival club is what I don't understand. I will be happy if he can come to Chelsea, but I have never imaged Ronaldo is Chelsea shirt....lolx it's not gonna fit him at all. But in football anything is possible. Let us watch how the drama is playing out and I know it will get more interesting.

Bayern will let Gnabry move imo since his contract will end in a year and could you imagine the losses of the club if they hold him and Lewandowski at the same time for the next season and they end up as free agents!
There is Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, ManU but also City which are interested in signing him. City wants him since he can replace both Jesus and Sterling who will leave the club this transfer window.

The "this is a business" coldness that Bayern has proved many many times before how amazing they are and how they know what they are doing. If they want to keep those players they will offer them something lower than what they worth, and if those players accept they will keep them, if not then they will let them go and get players who will be about the same levels and still underpay them, or not famous players at all and get them to be famous.

In the end, if Bayern is doing something about either losing players or getting a player, both of the situation would be beneficial for them and for at least a decade they have been doing great job at both of them.

If really one of the Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal sign him for only that amount it would be a very favourable deal.

Gnabry wanted to spend his final year of contract with Bayern, but he refused to sign a new contract with them, so they wanted to sell him so that he would not be a free agent next season.
If he comes to England at all, Arsenal will be his first choice; however, if Arsenal is able to sign him back, they will be very competitive next season because they will have no winger or striker isues.

I don't think that Chelsea will be targeting Neymar to sign for real now. They have bigger priorities rather than splurging on Neymar at the moment. Maybe they have a huge transfer budget to spend now but it wouldn't be too smart for them to spend the majority of it for only Neymar. I don't expect to see Neymar's demands at a low level too. He is already making a lot of money and he would prefer continuing like that. I think Neymar will stay where he is.

Since Chelsea signed Hakim Ziyech into the club, the young player has literally not lived up to expectation and have had most of his time  in Chelsea spent on the bench.Chelsea having talks with AC Milan to loan him out is a good one, So this decision will mean well for Hakim Ziyech to improve he's style of play because he didn't perform well last season at Chelsea at a point he became so bored to watch in the field. Let him see this as an opportunity to work on himself and identify the cause of his poor performance since his coming to the club.

Firstly, is Manchester United ready to lose Ronaldo to another club. Because, I don't think United will be signing out one of the best striker, when they probably don't have an replacement. However, they couldn't end last season at the tip four, and they won't be participating in the upcoming Champion League. Although, his have made it clear that his will be leaving the club. Nevertheless, I think Chelsea will rather go for Ronaldo alone, they are not financially capable of paying both Neymar and Ronaldo at the same time.
