Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Actually Cristiano Ronaldo can be a lethal weapon if he is in a team and playmates who have the same vision. He has proven that at Real Madrid, if you say his ambition can destroy his career I can't justify that, because in fact players play with big ambitions. I still hope he will stay at Manchester United.

I think Ronaldo would be doing decent in the short term in United, and that is why I would be shocked if he decided to leave the team and go somewhere terrible. At the end of the day, he is a good player but he could not really change a whole team just by himself anymore. His times in Real Madrid was until he was like 30-35 range and wasn't something big, then he left to Juventus when he got a bit older.

I am not saying that he is bad at all, he is good, he is even great but this doesn't mean that we shouldn't really expect him to score a bunch of goals and get the team to a cup or something like that, he would be just decent and we need to respect that by now.

I basically thinks Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Riyad Mhlez will create a fantastic trio in the club. Remember, it probably took Erling Haaland just 12 minutes to net his first goal for City.  The new striker is happy to be in Manchester city and more goals awaits him because I'm pretty sure city Midfield that consists of Kelvin De Bruyne, Gundogan and Rodrigo are always ready to serves dangerous passes to their Frontlines. However, Am quite excited about Pep Guardiola training and strict advise to his players on the pitch.

That's what made him want to leave, and look for another team that has a better team quality. But unfortunately it seems that not many clubs are interested in him because of his big salary and old age. Indeed Ten Hag has spoken that he needs Ronaldo, but that does not make Ronaldo believe in the club and stay. In proved he did not participate in the pre-season tournament with Man United.

About Maguire he's just unstable, I don't know. But Man United made him the most expensive defender. Maybe the arrival of the Ten Hag could change his mentality.

With Ronaldo, I think every team can have high expectations. But the problem was that he couldn't do it himself and that was absolutely impossible. Manchester United need reliable players to compete in the standings with other top teams, without that I really believe in the end Ronaldo will not be able to make this team successful.

Ten Hag has to come up with a good plan this season and he also has to take advantage of his ability to bring out the potential that exists in all United players. Ronaldo is still possible to stay, but of course he wants this team to be really serious in the market to get more quality players.

Yes I agree with you. The arrival of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United is expected to make Cristiano Ronaldo feel more positive after a difficult season. Last season CR7 looked so frustrating, but even so, last season the 37-year-old player was recorded as an important part of Manchester United by making 39 appearances and contributing 24 goals and three assists in all competitions. Manchester United only needs to focus on improving their squad under the control of Erik Ten Haag. If Ten Haag is able to improve his squad, then I'm sure Ronaldo will return to his best form.

Haaland should find it pretty easy to fit into Man City's system and there's already been some media coverage about the friendship bond that's been brewing between Jack Grealish and Haaland and they should be setting up for attack together in the up coming games and with the talent like KDB, it shouldnt be too hard for Haaland to rake up the goal tally in the upcoming season.

I have been hearing about some interest in Tanguy Ndombele by Galatasaray these days. Tottenham also seem likely to sell him actually as they don't give him so much chance to play. However his market value now is €30m. I wonder whether Tottenham are thinking about demanding a less amount of money for him. Otherwise I don't think that Galatasaray have that much money to spend now. Maybe they might have that much but I'm not sure whether they would like to spend that for only one player. They still need more than one player for making their squad decent.

https://tothelaneandback.com/2022/07/25/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-transfer-news-sell-tanguy-ndombele-cut-price-fee/amp/

It is clear that Tottenham is not planning to sell this player if they don’t get a reasonable amount of cash for him. And this brings me to a question. Why buy overrated players with a huge amount of money? It's one thing to have potential, and quite another to be overrated.

I didn’t think he was worth the money that was paid to him. If I remember correctly when he came into the team, there was a trend going on in the English Premier League to buy operated players for a huge amount of money. And he is proving to be one of them.

very surprising to see the defeat of chelsea in the friendly match against arsenal yesterday. even though it was only a pre-season game but still it showed that chelsea was really not ready at all. This is where the need for additional players who are superior. I hope that with this result Thomas Tuchel becomes aware that overconfidence also has its limits. and this is where chelsea really have to be willing to pay a lot in the transfer market to add a superior player. the existing players are already good. however the imbalance was still clearly visible during the game. so that chelsea lost badly by arsenal with a score of 4-0.

I was not surprised at all, I even expected more goals, my prediction was 6 to nil, they were lucky to get only 4 past their goal. Honestly, the state of the team now is no where near ready but what do you expect when the club owner decides to handle transfers by himself when he is not a professional in that field. Something really needs to be done and done quickly to save the season because if nothing is done quickly it might affect the season atleast the beginning games.

Manchester City has a lot of players to feed Haaland. Grealish, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Silva are some of these players. It is clear that Haaland will have many scoring opportunities. He should seize many of these opportunities and prove himself once again. Haaland is by far the best of the young forwards and he has to show that he deserves it.

According to rumours Firmino have got an offer from Juventus which is worth 19.5 million pounds. However Liverpool are indecisive about selling him or not. If they do so they might need to fill his place with a rotation player. There is Diogo Jota also who can play as a centre-forward but he is mainly a winger. He would be the only alternative for Nunez if they don't sign anyone. Liverpool have seemed positive about selling Firmino lately actually so they might agree upon a deal with Juventus.

If the rumors are true, it will be a good move for Firmino. I would love to see him take up a new challenge is career as it already feels like his time at Liverpool is coming to an end, he is no longer as valued and important in the team as he was few years back and a move now will be good for him, he needs a new atmosphere and a new experience at the level in his career and I believe he will happy to take on a new challenge elsewhere.

I don't know if Firmino should be sent off the team. They may always need his experience. Firmino was a very important player for the team.  Now if he goes to Juventus, I hope it will be good for him. Because Juventus canceled the contract with Dybala. There may be such a transfer in order not to experience weakness in terms of attack.

It can't be denied, that Manchester United now is not the Manchester United we know in their golden age. This team has changed a lot in every way in my opinion. But I still believe that they will achieve success again even though I don't know that time will come.
And that might be one of the reasons some players don't want to join them, because they're not doing well.

I don't think that's the reason. So far De Jong feels comfortable at Barcelona. He can also appear regularly in barcelona, ​​even Barca will play in the UCL. I think the problem is Barca's financial regulations and debt that makes Barca want to sell him. Actually at this time Man United has been in the hands of a different coach. With a different style, the players also respect him. So I'm a bit optimistic they are better than last season. But it doesn't matter, Ten Hag seems to have an alternative to buy Antony but Ajax charge a pretty high price. Because they have bought Martinez from Ajax too.

A team that is eligible to play in the Champions League is always more likely to be favored by the players. This is compared to a team that is not qualified to play in the Champions League. Moreover, I believe that's not the only reason why Frenkie de Jong did not want to join the Manchester United team.

The player expressed his desire to play for Barcelona because the club is his dream team. And at first, I thought he was just saying that to get a handsome salary from Barcelona but as he did not actually move in the end I am quite convinced that he was telling the truth. And it is obviously true that Manchester United is not a very strong team right now.

[emrecemsan]

Manchester United shouldn't waste their time with the Frenkie de Jong deal if they are still having problems on finishing up the agreement. Because the season is almost upon us as there are two weeks to go. Their second option is Milinkovic-Savic indeed. I don't know how much willing Lazio are to sell one of their most valuable players. I wonder how much they ask for him. Manchester United were ready to pay more than 80 million euros for de Jong so they should be planning the same at least for Milinkovic-Savic as well.

If Ronaldo has no confidence later after being forced to stay at Manchester United, will it be better to work with other teams? I doubt it because of his desire to leave even though Ten Hag has a good plan but Ronaldo's feeling is that he still wants to focus on going out so pre-season is left behind.

But if Ronaldo wants to keep going and as it was rumored to Atletico Madrid whether there will be quality players like Manchester United, I don't think Manchester United is better for now than Atletico.

Ronaldo still has not given clear clarification whether he will go to Atletico Madrid in this summer window or he will stay with Manchester United. It seems that there is no coercion from Manchester United and also from Erik to withstand Ronaldo from leaving Manchester United because rumors circulating Manchester allow Ronaldo to go to Atletico Madrid on one condition, namely signing a contract extension.
Today Ronaldo seems to have returned to Manchester United to talk about his future. Ronaldo may throw away his ego to play in the champions league next season and he may listen to a little whisper from Erik to stay with Manchester United next season.

Klopp credits Darwin Nunez efforts against their friendly game against RB Leipzig. Liverpool won their opponents with a thrilling 5-0 victory. Although, Darwin scored 4 goals coming in from the bench in the second half of the game. That's spells a good starts for the new attacker, it seems he's starting to get use to the team pattern of play and very fast to adapt to it. However, I probably think the upcoming season will definitely be more productive for the great player.

[SatoPrincess]

Chelsea have declined both in performance and reputation since the change of the club's ownership. I also saw the post match interview of Thomas Tuchel obviously, he is not happy with the club for their lack of seriousness and ruthlessness in the transfer, he also mentioned that the club is supposed to be getting the players to bond now before the start of the league but until they still have gotten enough signings which isn't good for the progress of the team.

These are no rumors because right now both managements are in talk about this transfer, and surely it's going to be good for Firmino because in last season he has not enough time for playing into Liverpool and now with the arrival of few players same are going to happen to him with this all it's better he leaves and have another good club which is going to be good for his career because if this deal ended in good way then surely Juventus and Firmino both in good side.

Liverpool is already having few more good options, so they are also in good position to sell this player and having good price which is going to help in future as right now many clubs are facing some big burden of high salaries, and they are also had same problem.

Ronaldo changing club to another is not to help the club he wants to move to win Champions League but he is changing a club for his own personal interest. If any club thinks signing Ronaldo will help to win Champions League,  I think that' is a wrong plan to make.

Liverpool's big win against Leipzig was very memorable for Klopp, because Darwin Nunez who was bought expensively this year by Liverpool began
to show good performance by scoring 4 goals. This means that Klopp is probably not wrong in choosing players, Darwin Nunez could be an important
player for Liverpool next season and help Liverpool win many trophies. Although I think it's still too early to judge Darwin Nunez's performance
in the friendly match, because scoring goals in the Premier League of course will be more difficult. So to assess Darwin Nunez's ability to score goals,
have to see his performance when playing in the Premier League competition in several matches. But so far Klopp has rarely failed in signing players,
most of the players who were brought in by Klopp managed to make a sizeable contribution to Liverpool. I hope Darwin Nunez can be Liverpool's
top goalscorer, because to be able to win many trophies of course Liverpool need a very productive striker, I hope Darwin Nunez can prove it.

....
Why buy overrated players with a huge amount of money? It's one thing to have potential, and quite another to be overrated.

Stuffs like these are a matter of opinion. There are also some trades that I thought expensive. You may not see him as worthy of that money but the appraisal of these players does not depend on us. It's probably just common for any team to start asking for a high price to have a better leverage once they start negotiation with interested teams.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea are still determined to sign another centre-back even though they aren't in need of such player immediately now. They are searching for a starting eleven player obviously. In case their plans to sign Kounde don't work then there are many options on the table. These options are Pau Torres, Milan Skriniar, Josko Gvardiol, Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard. It would be really difficult for them to pick one of them. By the way I don't think that Bayern Munich would let Upamecano go after completing the duo with him and de Ligt in defense.

What is certain for the two places in one and two will be dominated by Manchester City and Liverpool, well the competition for the two places below it will probably be a long competition throughout the season. Because apart from Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal at least there are other teams that also have the potential to penetrate that position. I'm considering how Newcastle came back in the second half of last season, I don't have much of their transfer record but I'm sure those with rich holdings can have the ability to compete for higher ground next season.

I wouldn't write down Liverpool in top two automatically. Manchester City is OK in top two but I'd see bigger competition this season. Arsenal is gaining great as you can witness from their USA camp. They will be a bigger threat to everybody.
Arsenal also has a good fixture and we might see them on top after fifth week. If they carry their friendly performance to league games there is no reason for them to lose points in first couple of games.

I am going to agree with @hahay, because I know the English Premier League is the most competitive in the whole world right now. But I also think that Liverpool is better than Arsenal and Chelsea. I don’t think Arsenal and Chelsea have what it takes to beat Liverpool even though Arsenal had made some big changes in the team.

They are obviously a lot stronger than before. But I still think that Liverpool is going to be in the top 2. Now, am I doubt that decision? Yes of course I am. But at the same time, I also have good confidence that Manchester City and Liverpool are going to finish in the top two.
