Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

True, I also think that Manchester United still needs a midfielder who can be more creative in passing the ball into the opponent's defense line. So far I haven't seen that figure, Bruno Fernandez couldn't do better in that role, although he's still reliable. But still I haven't seen any outstanding players in Manchester United's midfield right now.

I think have enough with Manchester United looking for player position midfielder, losing Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic have filled by Eriksen and I think right now Manchester United have completed player on midfielder, about attacking midfielder I think Bruno Fernandez and Cristian Eriksen filled slot, with holding midfielder have Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek. Maybe with 4-4-2 formation adopt by Erik Tan Hag he just need two midfielder only between attacking and holding midfielder. I think Manchester United just try find new central forward, although if Ronaldo keep stay still need to find central forward have scoring goal soul.

In this case I would like to see Van De Beek under the direction of Eric Ten Hag in the next season.
Van De Beek had a pretty good time with Ten Hag and now they are reunited with a different squad and with a different team but this is something that I think is interesting.
Van De Beek in the Ole and Rangnick era was always left out and now it looks like this will never happen again especially with Ten Hag's words who want to prioritize Van De Beek next season.

[Sterbens]

It would be even better for Ronaldo because his big name and ability are certainly still needed by the Manchester United squad at this time if they really want to stay.
I also believe that Erik Ten Hag will be able to change everything that is needed at the Manchester United club for next season and that is being done at the moment.

I believe the signing of Eriksen will assist Ronaldo to score more goals if he decide to stay atleast for now that Chelsea had backed out from the purported bid, Man Utd lacked creative midfielders that can create the finals passes, the present crop of players playing that role had not live up to expectations, Bruno Fernandez had performed woefully in that role, honestly if Erik Ten Hag can rebuild the team with players like Eriksen who has the capacity to create goal scoring chances because of his passing ability will help the team precisely Ronaldo to score many goals.

It turns out that Ronaldo and their new teammates will work even harder to reach the Champions League ticket. That's why Ronaldo's hope is to end the season that has been achieved. With the addition of squads such as Eriksen and Martinez, it becomes one of the better formations than before. Erik Ten Hag will try everything he can to get Manchester United out of the threatening zone.

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem likely to join Manchester United according to latest news. Because it is said that Barcelona have added him to their squad for their tour also. This must be meaning that they are willing to keep him at the team. On the other hand there are some rumours like two sides have reached an agreement about a deal like €75m + €10m bonus. I really don't know what to believe now.    Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess.

Yes. The latest news is that Frenkie De Jong has joined the Barcelona squad for the tour. De Jong still wants to stay at Barca even though the club has agreed to a fee of 75 million + 10 million in addition as said by Fabrizio Romano.

For me, Manchester United already have Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernades, Freed and most recently Cristian Eriksen. All of the players mentioned above have the same position as De Jong and their roles can also be like De Jong.
So, it is better if the club nicknamed the red devils turns attention to other players who are much cheaper but the process is not laborious.

But who deserves Manchester United to go after it? Because I see they are still a little less in that position. For other positions, I think they are ready to enter the competition next season, especially if Cristiano Ronaldo can stay with them. For the back position they are better than before with the addition of their new players.

Antony. That's a player that Manchester United should focus on rather than Frenkie De Jong.
In addition to Antony, they have to find a central defender in anticipation of weak defenses like what happened last season. In my opinion, defense is the main thing that must be addressed because no matter how great the midfield and front line are, if the defense is weak, it will make all the mess.

For the defensive players, according to the news, Lisandro Martinez is already in Manchester with the agent and this is good and important news to look forward to. If it officially joins, Lisandro Martinez in my opinion is a purchase that suits your needs.

[Oluwa-btc]

Lisandro Martinez can equally serve as a defensive midfielder until Manchester United gets a proper Defensive Midfielder. A good defender with pace can serve as a defensive midfielder, he just have to be a good passer of the ball and tracking lost balls.
How long will Manchester United wait until they finalized a deal with Frank De Jong ? I'd so much be happy if they can introduce Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton.
The coach knows what he wants but fans seems to have echoed Ruben Neves name for the past days.

Antony chances of getting to Manchester United are no where near it for this season, Ajax are not even prepared for  he's loss.
The continual usage of MacFred is useless, we don't need that this season.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is on the verge of leaving Manchester city this summer after the effortless push of the Gunners for the Ukraine international. Arsenal have cover verbal agreement with the Leftback who's one key player for Pep Guardiola. Perhaps his departure won't affect the team as Pep will strive harder for his replacement which is Cucurella from Brighton. Talks in it's final stages as salary and duration of contract in active bids.

in fact, martinez and de jong were coached by ten hag at ajax, this is actually really funny IMO. but it is true that the price of martinez is cheaper than de jong besides that his abilities are not much different. I also agree with Manchester United that they should focus on the transfer of Martinez, not de Jong.

Guardiola will not face any problems for Oleksandr Zinchenko, if he leaves the team. Because Oleksandr Zinchenko is not an important player for Manchester City. But I think Guardiola should strengthen his defense. While he brought in talented players like Haaland to strengthen the forwards, he did not do enough to strengthen the defense. Manchester City needs an experienced defender now.

Am surprised you did rate the Ukrainian International Oleksandr Zinchenko down this way. I consider him one of the best talents in the Manchester City squad. Let's face the fact, his got skill, speed and some shot power to support. Last season was a very hard time for him, with the on going war in his nation with Russia and the distress it would put him in, his sure not to be in his best but, his by far one of the best talents in Manchester City. Perhaps this is some deal to stimulate Arsenal to release Saka for them.
Let's not forget, R. Sterling and G. Jesus have left the team on transfer so, the options isn't as before and this could mean trouble for the bench.

I don't understand why he says Zinchnko is a very important player in Manchester City. I don't really understand how he measured his importance. Someone that is not a first team player cannot be that important to a club.

Saying why Guardiola is more interested in his attack than the defence could be his pattern of play. He believes that if he can score 4 - 5 goals evey match, it will be difficult for the opposition to equalize such goals. Besides while playing any club, Manchester City always has the larger possession. So Manchester City is not a defensive club.

He is a young player with high potential.  Arsenal would like to keep him in their squad for a long time if they sign him.  Statistics tell us that he did not have much chance to play in Manchester City last year.  If he thinks he can play regularly at Arsenal, this transfer may make sense for him.

Yeah club talks are positive and all completed. What left is now is personal terms with the player and this will be completed very soon. Zincheno is a great left back and with Tierney struggling with injuries and we not having a proper option (Nuno Tavares) we needed a good signing. Arsenal is smart in keeping tabs on City interests. For example, Jesus about to leave City- signed him, City interested in Cucurella - so sign the player in that position Zinchenko. If this completed, it is very likely that Nuno Tavares might leave maybe on loan or a permanent move which depends on what Arteta thinks whether he can use him again in future or not.

Guardiola works very well with the squad, he has the opportunity to have several equal players in each position in the team, so yes, the departure of Zinchenko from the team will not be a big problem for Manchester City, but the departure of a player of this level will still be noticeable. In the end, there are no irreplaceable players, everyone can eventually be replaced, especially since this will not be a problem for a team with such financial capabilities as City.

Anthony Martial's performance has been quite good in his last 2 matches and also in terms of the quality of this player I think he is also quite good, only that he had decreased his performance due to injury and rarely played minutes, if Ten Hag entrusts him next season I think he will be able to meet many people's expectations because he is a quality striker.
in this pre-season match, the Manchester United game began to show significant changes. I hope that in the future Manchester United's game can be even better when the Premier League competition is running.

Yes, Anthony Martial is a fantastic player who has proven his worth over the years for Manchester United from his early career years, it was surprising to see him decline in his performance which resulted to him going on loan last season to Sevilla. It will be a thing of joy to the coach and the fans to see him pick up from where he left off and being useful and efficient striker in the team this season.

look at two different clubs Ajax and barcelona and see what De jong and Martinez have shown. the value of their release clause must necessarily be different. If De Jong release clause is higher, I think it's very reasonable because his performances have been very good with Barcelona.

maybe i also don't think martinez is worse but both are players with different positions. The signing of Martinez is considered to be a pretty good progress made by Erik in the transfer market this summer because Martinez is a defender who has a pretty good record in defending.

Previously this was actually due to financial problems. In fact Xavi needed it. But because there was an obligation to pay salary debts, De Jong was asked to leave. But Man United did not agree with Barcelona's offer. Man United felt it was too expensive for that price. Maybe they won't buy it because they already have Erickson. Reportedly, Ten Hag will now buy Lisandro Martinez and Antony from Ajax.

I find it difficult to say this now especially with the news that is currently gray because there are several versions at the moment namely the first is Barcelona who will arrest De Jong but for the others I read also the news that Barcelona and Manchester United are in full agreement and just complete the transfer of De Jong.
It's clearly going to be gray especially there's nothing that can really be confirmed right now.

I believe that the signing was for 30 million euros. As far as I know, the transfer is almost completed and the only thing left is Oleksandr Zinchenko discussing the personal terms and conditions with his new club. If they both can agree, he will be moving to his new club.

Nuno Tavares will probably leave the club not on a loan but for a transfer fee. I don't think that Arteta is going to find him very useful later on. I am looking forward to seeing how Arsenal performs in the upcoming season. They have made some really effective changes, and with this squad, they should be able to win the Europa League.

[Pokapoka124]

Many controversies last season affected the club, first was the fallout between Lukaku and Tuchel which will definitely had a negative impact in the dressing room and among the players. Second was the issues with the club changing ownership. All these factors caused much distractions away for the season goals and objectives. The team lacked team work and unity. That chemistry playing together as a team was not there and it caused their decline in form, it’s a good to see them signing good players to the team this summer and hopefully a lot will change next season.

At the moment there seems to be a slack for Barcelona which is when you see Lewandowski's transfer from Bayern has now progressed to say that they and Bayern have reached an agreement for Lewandowski.
This will be good for United because for whatever reason Barcelona definitely need money to make a deal with Bayern as soon as possible at this time so indeed one of the fastest ways is to sell De Jong now.

Arsenal are striving to extend more of their key players in the club contract, seems some of them might be running out of contract sooner or later. Bukayo Saka's contract extension have been a top priority for Arsenal not just the club but also for Mikel Arteta who's a big fan of the young talented player. However the team are having opening talks with Saka agent for the contract extension and also discussing on salary details. The contract will be a long term one as Arsenal are pushing further to retain one of their player, same thing will apply to those who are almost out of contract with the team.

Yeah, it is very important that as you bring in new players to strengthen the team that you also renew contracts of older players in the team. It is only smart to work on retaining key players while you bring new ones to strengthen because when you lose key players it's like starting all over. The club is making progress with negotiations for a renewed contract for Saka and hopefully by the end of next week the deal will be completed and done with.
