Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[jostorres]

Roma has no desire to hold him so probably they will sell Kluivert if there are any teams who want to buy him and he has successful loan on Nice and help this team reach to top 5 in France league actually Nice want to buy him but on his clause contract Nice cannot permanently him because they failed reach to European competitions and currently Moyes want him because impress to his performance last season but this transfer is risky for West Ham because one of the caused why Roma want to release him because Kluivert had inconsistently performance and failed to compete in Roma and when he loaned on RB Leipzig

Kluivert is not the deal that makes them want to make this deal, it is the 13 million euro part of it. Just to make it clear, Roma is not as rich as the top teams of serie A, and certainly not as rich as EPL teams. Meaning if Kluivert was a player that played like maybe 400 minutes in Chelsea all season last season, mainly a sub, then he would still be worth more than 13 million, not because that's his worth but because Chelsea wouldn't consider that as a good deal, they are richer and they think their bench is more valuable. This is why a deal worth 13 million euro is not that bad and I believe it would still be a great amount of money for Roma to get a player.

Ronaldo has no intention of being a part of training at Manchester United. He is expecting a permanent move as soon as possible and I have heard that Ronaldo's manager is doing whatever he can to find a fitting team for Ronaldo these days. He might be okay for playing in even the Serie A again if he doesn't find a better alternative for himself. I'm saying it like that because he didn't leave the Serie A very happily in the end. He had some problems with Juventus while he was leaving.

if there is good co-operation between the team the number 9 jersey will be a perfect fit for the Englishman. The problem with Chelsea and strikers is that sentiments comes in along the line. When Lukaku started early last season he was all over the club but along the line things changed. Sterling is a brilliant striker and will fit in the jersey number perfectly if team work is considered above self glory

But in this case, especially when discussing the number 9 shirt, I actually feel a little bit interested in Chelsea because in the last few seasons sometimes the number 9 is not very good for their attackers.
Lukaku is an example of a recent failure, but actually if we look at some names who did not get their best performance at Chelsea with this jersey number.
Call it like Falcao, Higuain and even Morata have felt the same jersey number and it all failed.

[Igebotz]

No, it appears that Dembele will sign a new contract with Barcelona with a huge reduction of his salary but he could earn more money if he plays more games and probably perform better and score more goals. We need to wait to see his contract terms.
For Chelsea, they will most likely lose both Raphinha and Dembele for Barcelona. I don't know why they didn't chase Dembele earlier and offered him a good wage?

Dembele accepted a 40% wage cut to stay for another two years because Chelsea only wanted Raphinha; Barcelona hasn't approved the papers yet because they're still trying to sign Raphinha, who's priority. Chelsea didn't make any official contact with Dembele after he became a free agent last month; it was just another random rumor.

Having both Dembele and Raphinha is likely impossible to due to Barcelona financial situation.

Yeah Sterling is a legend,

To which club?

[Pokapoka124]

West Ham are thinking of a move for Roma left winger Justin Kluivert. It is said to be around a 13 million pounds move. He has played as a loanee for Nice and Leipzig in the previous two seasons. I think this is an enough proof for Roma not to think of him in the starting eleven. This is an opportunity for West Ham as a result. However Roma might still have a place for him in their future plans. This might cause them not to be eager for a permanent deal. But West Ham can still sign him on loan in that case.

West Ham united are also looking to strengthen their side for the next campaign, after finishing 7th sealing their ticket to the European conference cup they need to add some talents to the squad and Justin Kluivert is one name linked with a transfer to West Ham. It will be a good signing for West Ham if Roma will sell him, £13m is also a good fee for a player that good with pace and has ability to dribble through the opponents defense and can score goals. He's complete modern day attacker.

[JeWay]

Yeah City always thinks like that. They are smart in choosing right players in the market and develop them. Yeah Sterling is a legend, although I wasn't much impressed with Sterling in last two seasons but if I see his whole career then yeah he has been phenomenal. BTW its his move to third PL giant, who knows whats next..

Tuchel is very interested in Sterling's form and he will probably make sterling the most successful signing of the season. sterling is a player with an attacking midfielder position he has shown a great contribution to manchester city he has also received many individual awards for his brilliant achievements, but one drawback he has never won the ucl trophy. maybe he will do it with chelsea

[Pulsar77]

There is some fresh news like Chelsea might be able to sign Upamecano in case Bayern Munich complete the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus. I think Chelsea wouldn't make this a problem because Upamecano is also a wonderful defender. On the other hand I'm curious if Bayern Munich will really make it. Because they will need to run the risk of paying an enormous amount of money to sign de Ligt. Are they really ready to pay an amount like 90-100 million euros for a defender?

[Pokapoka124]

In this year's transfer market, Tottenham Hotspur have a fun transfer activity for fans. They successfully recruited 5 (five) new players and Clement Lenglet became the fifth player to be successfully brought in on loan this summer.

Clement Lenglet has long been a target for Tottenham and it was only this year that Antonio Conte's target was achieved even though there was no purchase option in the deal as suggested by Fabrizio Romano.
The presence of Lenglet in Conte's squad next season will complete the three-man back in his favorite formation by pairing Erik Dier and Cristian Romero.

Clement Lenglet become fifth player success got by Tottenham Hotspur preparing for next season although with loan option from Barcelona, before Clement Lenglet, Spur have success got  Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, and Fraser Foster. Looks Tottenham Hotspur really serious team prepare for next season actually Spurs will play on champion league. I think Clement Lenglet will be good option for Antonio Conte although not get regular position with Barcelona, but looks he will get regular position team with Spur and become favorite defender for Antonio Conte next season.

Tottenham Hotspur have really surprised me in this summer transfer window, almost two months to go in the transfer window and they already have five players registered to their team. This side have showed seriousness in their transfer dealings and they look prepared already for the next season although I doubt Clement Lenglet is a good signing for Antonio Conte side as some people say, my analysis could be wrong but we shall see how it pans out.

tottenham have big ambitions next season, moreover they will compete in the champions league so it's no wonder Conte brings in several players to strengthen their respective lines. as you said, it is true that their recruitment this week was sluggish. I don't feel there is anything special about the player because statistically last season he sat on the bench more often because he couldn't compete to get into the main squad. but Conte feels this is not a big problem for him as Lenglet will surely be able to compete with other players to be able to break into the first squad and get more playing time at his new club, Tottenham.

[Pokapoka124]

Raheem Sterling have finally sealed his move to one of Manchester city rival. The Englishman will definitely do better in the club but I'm still doubting because of the number he is probably putting on. I'm strongly against him wearing the number 9 jersey. As we all know it's a curse in the team and someday, someone will wear the number 9 jersey in Chelsea. Sterling deal will include him as one of the highest paid players in the team and also his contract is valid until June 2027.

The curse of the number 9 shirt at Chelsea has always been very difficult to break and I also hope that Raheem Sterling does not use that jersey number.
but in terms of quality Raheem Sterling is still very good and his age is still very mature, now he is still 27 years old and it is very possible for him to contribute greatly to Chelsea. This is a very good signing for Chelsea in this transfer window, I have no doubt that Raheem Sterling can replace Lukaku in Chelsea's front line.

I don't entertain superstition, curse or not I believe most players reach top level in their performance when they play in their preferred position, managers have changed the positions of players like Jose Mourinho changed Mikel Obi from a striker to a defensive midfielder at Chelsea. He excelled in this position. Raheem Sterling is a good signing for Chelsea but I don’t think if he will perform well playing as a top striker. Chelsea can still sort for a striker and play Sterling in the wing cause he has being playing as a winger and performs better in that position. Thomas Tuchel may already have something in store for Sterling at the club.

[lalabotax]

Yes, I was really surprised to read this news, although it hasn't been confirmed to have moved but at least he had a desire the latest news Chelsea is interested in bringing him and then just waiting for the offer. Chelsea is considered the most worthy of bringing Ronaldo they are still competing in the Champions League and targeting several new players the most important thing is they have good finances.

But lately, I heard a rumor that Chelsea isn't interested to sign Ronaldo. Chelsea probably knows that it is impossible to sign Ronaldo. So, they state to not interested in signing Ronaldo. Sure, Ronaldo seems to never join a rival of Man United, he won't do it for his reputation. It is likely Ronaldo to move to another top team outside of EPL competition. There are 2 teams that have a big chance to sign him right now, PSG and Bayern Munich. But I never heard a serious offer from those 2 top teams so far. I even didn't hear any negotiation.

In this case, Tottenham have been quite loyal this season considering that they are like you said they will now return to play in a higher match now so it is quite natural that Conte is currently quite ambitious.
But indeed in this case it looks like it will be difficult for them, especially with the purchase now, it's actually still not enough to make a significant breakthrough next season.

They have reinforced pretty much every position they needed to. At least 2 quality, premier league start worthy players for every position. Defense seems to be the only place where they are slightly lacking. Still, I think they are contenders for top 2 position at least.

The main idea is that, Ronaldo would go to a team only if they have a chance to play a lot in UCL (reason why he wants to leave United) but also wouldn't be getting paid few million neither, he is Ronaldo and his worth is more than what he brings as a football player. Most of the time you pay a player for what he is worth on the field, but Ronaldo would bring any team tens of millions of dollars just from jersey sales. So which team could offer him 20+ million a year salary easily? Thats right, PSG could do that without a problem. Sure there are some others, but the richest teams right now are Newcastle and PSG, which is why I believe PSG is the leading candidate on all superstars.

Yes, a problematic player. His game at his age is great but not worth the money. But as long as the team can make a lot more money, then yes, PSG can probably afford it. And sales specifically on his jersey won't end at the 20 million mark. They will start to buy the jerseys of other players because PSG will become not just a team but a dream team, they will attract a lot of new fans

Ronaldo is just more than a footballer right now, he is just a brand and that is why he can easily walk away from any club and easily get into any club he desires. Since football is not all about football but business, I don't think that any club that buys him at this age will lose.
The jersey sells, the watch hour increment, more ticket sells, more fan base, more social media follows and hence more money.
Ronaldo just carry everything complet. Yet, I do not appreciate him leaving utd.

I don't think he can get into any club, at least Juventus are closed to him because of the ugly exit, Real Madrid with whom he has severed all ties. The Chelsea coach for example after being offered to buy Ronaldo said "no, he doesn't fit the style of play". I think of many top clubs who just don't need him. I think the most adequate club in case he leaves MU is PSG.

I think Chelsea wouldn't make this a problem because Upamecano is also a wonderful defender. On the other hand I'm curious if Bayern Munich will really make it. Because they will need to run the risk of paying an enormous amount of money to sign de Ligt. Are they really ready to pay an amount like 90-100 million euros for a defender?

Chelsea urgently needed a central defender as they are now had very limited option at the back after christensen choose to leave for barcelona , de ligt never be rumored or linked to chelsea but the fans want him badly , now with the report that de ligt getting closer to bayern ... there is another option pop up.

Upamecano to chelsea are not a bad one though!

[Velvet78]

Chelsea have been the speculated team to sign Cristiano Ronaldo soon. However Tuchel doesn't seem to be willing about a move like this at the moment. I wonder what the reason behind this reluctancy is. Some rumours say that he wants a trio like Sterling, Havertz and Raphinha here. He doesn't have any place for a striker like Ronaldo considering his style according to that.

Chelsea's main priority is to bring in defenders in the transfer market, because apart from Chelsea having lost Christensen and Rudiger, there are
rumors that Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are also likely to move to other clubs soon. If that's true, it means Chelsea must at least bring in
2-3 new defenders. Meanwhile, until now there has not been a single defender who was successfully brought in by Chelsea.

Chelsea should be faster in finding a new defender, hopefully Dayot Upamecano can be obtained by Chelsea. But even then Bayern will release
Upamecano if Bayern manage to get Matthijs de Light, but I doubt Bayern will get De Light. Because Juventus are reportedly asking for a very
high fee, while we know Bayern is a team that rarely buys players at very high prices. If it is true that Bayern agrees to the transfer fee requested
by Juventus, would be the highest transfer record and would make De Light the most expensive player ever signed by Bayern. The previous most
expensive player Bayern ever bought was Lucas Hernandez for 80 million euros.

He had some problems with Juventus while he was leaving.

Actually, Ronaldo didn't have any particular problems at Juventus when he left. On the contrary, when this departure did take place, it was a complete surprise both for the Juventus management and for the coaching staff and players who had to urgently figure out how to play without Ronaldo. The Juventus management thought that Cristiano would not have any decent options to continue his career and therefore did not offer a contract extension and wanted the player to simply finish the season. Another question is that everyone now understands perfectly well that the current Manchester United really turned out to be not the best option compared to the first proposed option about Manchester City. Of course, everything is possible, but I don't think that the player himself and his agent have a Series A among the priority options.

[Slow death]

I think Chelsea will be a better option for Ronaldo instead of PSG which is already a star-studded club with the likes of Neymar, Messi, Mbappe e.t.c who might not want him to outshine them thus find it difficult playing there, however playing for Chelsea is a better alternative instead of Newcastle and I believe Chelsea new owner can afford to pay his wages couple with the fact that he will remain in London as well as playing UCL is an added advantage, in few days to come he will definitely going to make a statement regarding his next club, having confirmed his likely exit from Man Utd.

There is news about Neymar and Newcastle, but I doubt the seriousness of the news

And as for Ronaldo, he won't be making a statement in the coming days like you said. He could not act because last season there was an agreement between the star and the United team on a two-year contract and the option of a one-year extension. And the Red Devils don't see to approve of him leaving, Ronaldo cannot leave without United's approval as he is still tied to his previous agreement.

Christiano Ronaldo isn’t the kind of player you can keep against club against his will. It is even difficult for managers to keep him on the bench when he’s not performing. It wouldn't be a wise choice to hold back a player who is not happy and doesn't want to stay. I think for a player to be playing for a club, his heart should be the team and should be proud of the club he's playing for. If he doesn't want to stay he should be allowed to leave and rather find a replacement for him. Ronaldo is hungry for trophies and feels Manchester united are far from getting him trophies so he should be allowed to move if he wants to.

he's just showing himself to be greedy, he's already won everything he could win, he already has a lot of money that he can live well until he dies, what he's showing is a dangerous side, just because he won't go to the champions league is seeing himself to be behind messi and will not have a chance to win individual awards, he is not thinking about the collective of the team he is thinking only about himself. I wonder how many teams will hire him with this kind of behavior? Will any team take the risk of having cristiano ronaldo? I doubt it

Chelsea have been the speculated team to sign Cristiano Ronaldo soon. However Tuchel doesn't seem to be willing about a move like this at the moment. I wonder what the reason behind this reluctancy is. Some rumours say that he wants a trio like Sterling, Havertz and Raphinha here.

tuchel has only spoiled the players who pass by chelsea, just see what happened to lukaku, at inter lukaku will score many goals again, but in chelsea with that strange style of play he had no chance and I doubt that cristiano ronaldo would stop at chelsea , he would not play well. I think Tichel knows what he is doing, but it would be good if he improved his style of play or else Chelsea will be below the top 4 this season

Yes, there were many rejections when offered by Ronaldo, but it was not because of Ronaldo's bad game but not least because they were burdened with the price to be paid and also the incompatibility of some coaches. With the current situation, it is likely that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United. Because Manchester United are still open to Cristiano Ronaldo and actually they just relented in allowing Ronaldo to leave.
