Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[CryptocurencyKing]

now it's official and west ham united signs italian international striker Gianluca Scamacca. the player, who comes from sassuolo calcio, signs a contract with the hammers until summer 2027. the transfer fee including bonuses amounts to more than €40 million. last season GS scored 16 goals for the italian serie a club

Welcome to English premier league Gianluca Scamacca to come showcase your skills of scoring goals having scored 16 goals for the Italian side sassuolo Scamacca last season was a stellar performance and I do hope he meet up with the demands of the job as West Ham United is doing all necessary efforts to equally stay top on the race to becoming the next English champions. There performance last season was fantastic adding more quality players like Gianluca to the team could make them go more far season this season.

Westham really had good season last season and they played nice football from the beginning of the season to the end. It was unfortunate that they didn't lift the europa Cup and they didn't also qualify for next europa. Their major problem at the middle and towards the end of the season was that they do not have team depth and they had many matches to play. They were depending on Antonio and Bowen to do the work. This signing is good for them.

We can all see that David Moyes is really improving his squad ahead of a season that will see West Ham combine Premier League improvement with a first Europa Conference League campaign. They were having a good season last year until when they lost some of their first team players to injury and couldn’t keep up with good performance. Moyes knows that the team needs some new players in some departments to thicken the squad. I believe they’ll challenge for the EPL and other competitions next season.

According to some news Kasper Schmeichel is about to leave Leicester soon to sign for Nice. Leicester are looking for a replacement before selling him. It feels interesting to see because he has been playing for Leicester since the 11/12 season. After so many years he is leaving now. I think that he has been the most important part of this team for all these years. It must be sad for Leicester now to lose him. Maybe he is 35 years old but this is not a very old age for a solid goalkeeper I believe.

I really thought that "sign for Nice" is actually an expression, lol, I don't know any club named Nice.

This could be a trouble for Leicester, we know that they haven't made any move on this transfer windows, though their coach said that he want a refreshment on their squad, probably a money problem, maybe something else, moreover not much of an option for good goalkeeper that hasn't settle in a good club, so if this is actually happen, Leicester will be having a hard time finding the replacement for Schmeichel.

Moving from Premier League to Ligue 1 is not a good choice for Kasper but I think he just want to find an abroad challenge. Maybe he can not find a club in La Liga or Serie A so Ligue 1 is his destination. 35 years old is not a big barrier for a goalkeeper because at this position, playing until 40s is possible.

Kasper schmeichel is truly a Leicester city legends, I love his maturity and his goal keeper skills, premier League will miss him this coming season, but I would have like him to play for Manchester United just like his father did, I always fantasize him coming to Manchester, and I know he would have love too, at sometime United were interested in him but the presence of David Degea didn't allow it to materialize.going to France will be good adventure for him, I wish him well.

Kasper can still play well in Leicester City and Premier League. Maybe he does not want to play for another club in Premier League against Leicester City and he also want to find a new challenge. Leicester City is a club that revive his career and with them, he won the Premier League title. That is amazing if we consider how difficult Kasper got in early of his career. He did not get a position in Manchester City and winning Premier League with Leicester is just out of expectation.

Chelsea should not relax on the transfer window, Thomas Tuchel will need to look at strengthening the offense, Chelsea attack is poor, they are not scoring goals. Sterling is supposed to be Lukaku's replacement, Lukaku didn't have a great season under Thomas Tuchel but he was still Chelsea's highest goal scorer. Chelsea need goal scorers, their defense is strong but they need goals yo win matches.

Yes, Chelsea defense was so strong through out the tournament despite they didn't achieve the premier league title in last season, because they were lacking in the area of strikers. I believe, Chelsea coach is seriously working to make sure what happened in last season will not repeat itself again in this season than to bring in new talented strikers that can handle the position very well to make Chelsea fans happy again. Chelsea will definitely increase higher in performance, because all those new talented players know how to achieve early goals from any competitions that will make the team to achieve victory at the end of the match.

Chelsea's defence is not strong enough at least not yet to compete when the season starts. And with the kind of attackers in the league now I wonder how their defense will survive against prolific strikers like Haaland, Gabriel Jesus, Nunez, Scamacca, etc...Chelsea need to sign more players else they will concede more goals than their previous season. I don't think playing Sterling as a top striker would really pay off, he has been playing from the wings and it will be difficult for him adapting to a new position and Chelsea do not have that kind of time to wait until he adapts fully before the league resumes.

Leicester had really good times with Schmeichel. The season that they became the champions in the Premier League is just unforgettable even now. It is time for him to leave as it seems. I understand that he wants a new adventure with a different team after playing 11 seasons for Leicester. Nice is one of the decent Ligue 1 teams hence I think that he would continue to perform nicely there too. Leicester will have only Danny Ward left in the team so they would start searching for a strong goalkeeper like Schmeichel as of now.

[Avirunes]

Lost several defenders and no replacement has come to make the current chelsea defense weak, in the preseason match against arsenal, chelsea looked quite vulnerable and the ease with which their defense was penetrated by opponents should be a warning for tuchel to immediately move to find players who play as defenders, the premier league will soon started and I don't think chelsea will be able to compete next season with the current squad.

They relied mostly on Malang Sarr and Chalobah and they don't have much experience. They have the potential to become a solid defense but that obviously will take time and chances. They need strong players in defence and that will be very hard to find in the market right now. My prediction for next season is they will have hard time making it in top 4 but will somehow ill make it in the end.

With news like this, Leicaster is looking for a replacement who has almost the same skills as him and so far it is very difficult to find an experienced goalkeeper like him, Kasper Schmeichel once brought Leicaster to become champions in the premier league in my opinion it is a proud achievement because they can contribute to victory by being a reliable goalkeeper.

Schmeichel is still very influential for Leicester, despite his current age it is still one of the losses for them.
But indeed the good side is that when Schmeichel decides to leave, Leicester now have to start thinking hard to find a suitable replacement and of course still fresh in terms of age, because this is something important in my opinion for them, especially with those who are considered as dark horse for the last few seasons.

Surprisingly, Arsenal have done very well so far in the transfer window and their preseason games and it shows how much improvement the team has made. According to Arteta in his last post match interview, he made it clear that there still few positions that needs signings and the club is working on improving those positions so hopefully, before the end of the transfer window signings will be made to those positions.

Arsenal's amazing run start in last season after one of the worst start but after this positive change they never look back and until end of the season they were in good shape but sadly in last few matches they lost their rhythm and lost their Champions League spot but now for next season they are doing good work under coach Arteta which is surely having good run in last season and now looking for better results than last year.

Even they lost their few targets just because of big clubs involvements, but good thing happen they are also had few very exciting players which are going to be good asset for them and with these changes surely now they are a strong candidate for staying at top of the table for better spot at the end of this season.

Dropping out of the top four spot was really disappointing and would kill the team's moral but Arteta's side have taken it as a positive impact and as a motivation to do better. Their performance this time has been much better compared to last season with the addition of new talented players who have come in and improved the squad, definitely they will do better in the league and Europa league next season.

Their major problem at the middle and towards the end of the season was that they do not have team depth and they had many matches to play. They were depending on Antonio and Bowen to do the work. This signing is good for them.

They were indeed in this case at the beginning of the season playing very well but on the other hand they did take various risks there with minimal player quality they did gambling by doing all competitions without any of them being their priority and the result was that they lost everything.
In things like this when an underdog team like West Ham I still feel they should do some planning by making one of the priorities there, for example, like Frankfurt in the Bundesliga this season. Their focus on the Europa League and leaving the Bundesliga has been much more effective.

This transfer will wait until Leicester get new goalkeepers but rumours is Brendan Rodgers not too agree with this transfer even more likely he want Schmeichel stayed at Leicester and management extended his contract this because until now Leicester are the only team that haven't bought a player in this transfer window and Rodgers doesn't liked this situation because next season premier League will be more competitive and i think losing him will big lost for Leicester and if they get new replacement of him but there is no guarantee new goalkeepers will adapt quickly

Any team that has an interest in Kasper Schmeichel I think it will be good for Kasper Schmeichel himself, because he is 35 years old I think that is an age that does not have to be in a very competitive league like in the Premier League. From the rumors that exist, Nice is a team that is ready to sign Kasper Schmeichel and I really appreciate it because Nice are ready to sign a player at such a senior age. Kasper Schmeichel's contract at Leicester does have one season left, so it doesn't matter if Nice sign him at this time or maybe wait until his contract expires.

[Zanab247]

Saying Chelsea's defense is strong might now be a little different.
So many of their defenders have left in this transfer window which makes it sure to be a bit of a struggle.
Even if there are some updates there such as bringing in Koulibaly, it will still be a little difficult because the chemistry of new players obviously cannot be formed in a short time.
Not to mention they still have problems up front.

Chelsea lost some very strong defenders which helped them win the CL earlier. Even so they are trying to fill in the void, their defence will not have PL experience and this will struck Chelsea very hard this season. They really should have looked after their contracts and now they have lost the whole defense line.

Chelsea will definitely have challenge in the area of defense in this season, based on the potential defenders they have lost in this season. I don't think all those new defenders have the strength and energy to handle the defense like the old talented defenders that helped Chelsea to achieved many goals from different matches in the last tournament.

I wouldn't say Kasper Schmeichel's performance was bad. However, at the age of 35, it is very difficult to perform regularly in a competitive league like the Premier League. If the Nice team wants Kasper Schmeichel then Kasper Schmeichel should definitely join the Nice team. Because he won't be able to stay with Leicester City for long. And looking for a new team at the age of 37/38, maybe no team will be interested in taking on Kasper Schmeichel.

Their performance this time has been much better compared to last season with the addition of new talented players who have come in and improved the squad, definitely they will do better in the league and Europa league next season.

What Arsenal did in the transfer market was surprising, they had spent a lot of money on signing players. It is estimated that the Gunners have spent 132.06 million euros in this transfer market, at least Arsenal have signed five players to date, where each signing has a high value. Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko were brought from Man City, then there was Fabio Vieira from Porto, Matt Turner from New England, and Marquinhos from Sao Paulo, Gabriel Jesus became Arsenal's most expensive signing with a value of 52.2 million euros.
The positive steps taken by Arsenal are very surprising, because it is very rare for Arsenal to spend big in the transfer market. So far, Arsenal has only relied on young players in its squad, or in other words Arsenal is known as a club that prints talented players, after the high player value, Arsenal immediately sold them. It looks like Arsenal are tired of being under the shadow of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea, Arteta is trying to break their dominance by bringing Arsenal into the Premier League Champion.

[FlamingFingers]

Manchester United have signed Lisandro Martinez, deal had been completed, I believe that he chose Manchester United against Arsenal due to the reunion with his coach, I wish him the best, we got a better signing... To me Zinchenko already understand epl so there is no need to adapt and Manchester city style of play is more like Arsenal style of play. I believe Zinchenko is more Versatile than him. Hopefully Martinez will be able to cope with the style of play in Manchester United, because lots of changes has been made from coach to players. Eric Ten Hag have a lot of work to do in United squad

[Alanaz]

Yes, Chelsea defense was so strong through out the tournament despite they didn't achieve the premier league title in last season, because they were lacking in the area of strikers. I believe, Chelsea coach is seriously working to make sure what happened in last season will not repeat itself again in this season than to bring in new talented strikers that can handle the position very well to make Chelsea fans happy again. Chelsea will definitely increase higher in performance, because all those new talented players know how to achieve early goals from any competitions that will make the team to achieve victory at the end of the match.

Chelsea's defence is not strong enough at least not yet to compete when the season starts. And with the kind of attackers in the league now I wonder how their defense will survive against prolific strikers like Haaland, Gabriel Jesus, Nunez, Scamacca, etc...Chelsea need to sign more players else they will concede more goals than their previous season. I don't think playing Sterling as a top striker would really pay off, he has been playing from the wings and it will be difficult for him adapting to a new position and Chelsea do not have that kind of time to wait until he adapts fully before the league resumes.

In the context of what @Sebas.tian says this is referring to last season and it's true last season Chelsea were really good in defense although still struggling in attack.
But for the current season it's clear they're not getting it all because some of the main players from their defense have left and this is definitely going to make it difficult for them.
Several transfers regarding their defender ended in failure making this even more difficult for Chelsea.

[borovichok]

The season will begin in a week time, and Tottenham and Antonio Conte have to make a decision about who they are keeping  for the right back position, they still have Matt Doherty, Emerson Royal and the new England under 21 right back Spence, judging by pre session match Antonio Conte is experimenting on using Lucas moura as a right back, so I think one of the Matt Doherty and Emerson have to leave, for me I will say Emerson needs to be that man to leave, his first season has not gone on plan, and his market value is high and he also has lot of suitors.

Eric Ten Hag have a lot of work to do in United squad

Yes, after  a long time it was reported that Manchester United wanted to bring in several players, Martínez became the third player to join the Red Devils this season. But I haven't see a convincing transfer of some of Manchester United's plans, I still hope coach Ten Hag see the weakness of the Red Devils midfielder, needs to make changes if they want to perform better next season. Their rival like Arsenal and Tottenham have made many changes in the team formation, Manchester United need to understand the difficulties they will face in the next season.

Well, this is the best decisions for Leicester, they are need younger goalkeeper to compete for mid-table standing. Schmeichel doing great with Leicester with 1 EPL and FA Cup trophy, now his career come to and end. If Leicester still keeping him as their main Goalkeeper, I believe they are maybe find difficult to compete since his age and performance maybe not good enough for now. Of course, if we are remember abouth Kahn can be main keeper for Munich, Schmeichel age maybe more younger than him, but everyone have different skill and physical condition. Leicester can't gamble to keeping him for too long with  him already. Schmeichel will become Leicester legends, it will never change.
