Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Rockstarguy]

I think one of the reasons most clubs don't want Ronaldo is as said, due to his age and experience. He is past his peak performance and can only be of much use in leagues with less stress, unlike the English premiership. Also, with the vast experience he has garnered over the years, he might be too heady or superior to the managers or team members. It is also likely that if Ronaldo is in a team, the game is kind of bound to be centered about him. Managers know this, and dont want an influence bigger than theirs. If I were him, either I go to the Spanish league or to the American league  because he still has to remain fresh for Portugal in their oncoming world cup campaign.

If Ronaldo want to play in Spanish league, he will only prefer La Liga Santander which is where the club (Real Madrid) that he was before he went to Juventus, then back to Manchester United. With how he is in Manchester United now, do you think clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona can prefer C. Ronaldo to play with them again? He is getting old in football and that may not be possible. The best is for him to later join MLS is what I can think, but I do not think it is yet good time he should join.

Age has nothing to do with Ronaldo's performance.  But most big clubs will prefer to work with young players. In the last transfer market most big club didn't have interest in Ronaldo,  but I can't really tell specifically what could be the reason for that. The misunderstanding Ronaldo had between ten Hag in the preseason match can be a reason why clubs won't have interest in Ronaldo because no club would want to bring a player who feels he is bigger than the club or coach, my thought though.

Leicester can be the most unlucky team in the league now.    Because right after they started a two-match winning streak their next opponent is going to be Manchester City.

I would really like to say that it is a home match for Leicester which could be an advantage. But I can't because it doesn't matter for Manchester City. They are a very deadly team no matter it is a home or away match. Haaland is said to have a leg injury but I didn't see such information on Transfermarkt. He hasn't got injured for around 7 months. Manchester City will hope that it stays like that. Because they are highly dependent on Haaland as you know and his absence would affect them deeply. I think there is no way Leicester will get even one point in this. Maybe it might be nice to try BTTS for this match @1.80. Because Leicester are still a productive team despite defensive weaknesses.

Real Madrid and Juventus let Ronaldo leaving their clubs even back in those years, Ronaldo still performed very impressively. Now his performance is decreasing to the bottom of his career so it would be no reason for these clubs to sign with Ronaldo. The drama and reaction of Ronaldo in Manchester United make other clubs have to consider more. It would be terrible to have a player who can bring conflicts to a coach and other players.

Ronaldo was frustrated because the coach did not trust him to play, he felt he was still able to give the best performance even though he was not young anymore. Ronaldo really needs playing minutes to maintain his form ahead of the World Cup, he wants to give his best performance because the Qatar world cup is the last in his career.

Ronaldo attitude did not stop other clubs from trying to get him. Just look at Antonio Cassano attitude, his temperament is worse than Ronaldo, but still there are clubs who signed him.

Cristiano Ronaldo's lack of playing time with Manchester United in my opinion is because his style of play is not part of the coach's scheme of play and that creates a conflict between them (although we don't know what really happened). Ten Hag's firmness to stick to his position in my opinion is good because it is not influenced by the big name Cristiano Ronaldo. However, if Ten Hag's decision was based on not liking Ronaldo, it would be bad.

Another big lash of goals is what Leicester will receive. Whether Haaland plays or not, Manchester city's goals against Leicester will reach up to 4 and above. Manchester City doesn't care if they are playing away again or not. They are heading to the top of the league and no club is going to stop their winnings. Leicester has 11 points. Just 2points above the three clubs(Leeds, Wolves and Nottm Forest) that are in the relegation zone

Arsenal will be facing nottingham forest in the upcoming match. this quite easy to predict which will have more chance to win. Arsenal is now leading EPL. Nottingham forest must be lucky enough to win against arsenal in the upcoming match. It seems like the performance from arsenal since early season has been giving a good impression to the arsenal's owner stan kroenke and he decides to give fresh fund for arteta to buy some good players in the upcoming transfer season. Arsenal looks seriously building its team to face middle until end of season.
what do you think guys? There are only two points as gap between arsenal and city, will city take the EPL trophy for this season again?

I don't think yet with team like Real Madrid and Juventus want to sign in again due Ronaldo age have been 37 years old and actually he doesn't at the top performance right now trough when he still under 30 years old. Realistic for Ronaldo joined wit MLS league before retired from football or he could try playing at small team but doubt want to pay expensive salary from Ronaldo. Probably Ronaldo have bigger ambition keep trying to play on higher level club exactly have team participants on Champion League.

Can't stoppable with Ronaldo ambition actually he want play at European team and ever rejected most fantastic offer from Asian team because he want end his career keep playing at Champion League.

Ronaldo's age is a big factor that is  affecting his performance, there is a say that 'You can't cheat nature'. I don't think any big club in Spain will love him play in their club due to his present performance in Manchester United. He has achieved so much in football but his age is putting a stop to that.
 
If Ronaldo wants to continue playing  football,he should leave England since England football is strong and needs someone young that can coupe with the football style. He can go to any club of his choice but not his former clubs because he is not fit in anymore. Maybe clubs in America can will always appreciate his presence as their player.

It is good Ronaldo quits football  as a super star now that he is fading away to keep his  good records. Instead of quiting when he has already faded that can down grade his personality a bit.

Regarding Ronaldo's behavior that does not respect his coach, of course it cannot be tolerated. Ronaldo is indeed a Mega Star, but if he can no longer be managed as a mega star, he will only be an ordinary player who will soon be forgotten. To be honest, I've been a Ronaldo fan for a long time before Ronaldo wasn't that famous, right now Ronaldo is full of conflict and wants to leave the Manchester United squad. The material is a lot of comments from other players about Ronaldo's current attitude. Maybe after the current problem is over Ronaldo will return to being a player who can bring his club to victory.

i am not a fan of ronaldo but i know because he is a great and famous player, i often see him on the bench in some manchester united games after moving from juventus to manchester united, his popularity is not as bright as it used to be is it because of his declining performance, but since he has had a problem with disrespecting the coach and hasn't been played in the squad lately, manchester united has often played well compared to ronaldo in the squad, oh yes heard the rumors manchester united will release ronaldo to chelse, is that true

[KTChampions]

I had read the news regarding Chelsea who were interested in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo into the Chelsea club. But it seems that the only one who is interested in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the blues is Todd Boehly as the owner of Chelsea. but Graham Potter as Chelsea coach does not seem to agree. Some clubs like Arsenal and New Castle even recognized Cristiano ronaldo's ability and they needed him but they couldn't sign him because they were more afraid of the impact on the club itself. I don't understand what the impact is. whether it's about the other players at the club or what. I read about it in this source. https://www.goal.com/id/amp/berita/arsenal-cristiano-ronaldo-manchester-united-chelsea/bltc1958298d83f50b9

The Chelsea owner has already voiced his position that Chelsea should promote themselves not only on the football field but as a brand, so they considered acquiring either Ronaldo or Neymar purely for marketing purposes (their playing would be a bonus in this case). Nobody cares about Potter's opinions in this area, it's big business, and Potter is an employee.

A real good start for newcastle , still wondering if they can do the crazy transfer in january.

Indeed. It has been a wonderful run for Newcastle until this moment. They couldn't even bring many big names to the team in the last transfer window. I was really doubtful about their performance in this season as a result. But they are making me surprised even more every week. Defeating one of the most powerful teams of the season in an away game is a really big work by them. They stole one point from Manchester United as well.

As long as they keep up playing determinedly they can be one of the biggest candidates to finish the season in top 4. They are already at the 4th position now.

Top 4 with the current squad? I dont know man , they wouldn't resist the high pressure in the top 4 unless if they get some stars like mbappe or something lol , they capable to do that tho , just the matter of time when they planning to really mean not just the business but building a legacy at newcastle.

I won't expect more with the current squad , newcastle is newcastle .. they used to finish at 10 every season , mark my words.

Yeah I know that it is going to be a really difficult run for them about that. It is all about consistency and we will see how consistent they will be with the current squad.

In addition to that we will have a transfer window opening in two months. If Newcastle manage to be active and bring some top quality players then they would increase their chance to have a very successful season. As they are doing well in the league now maybe they can manage to convince some solid players to come here.

[lizarder]

The last 10 minutes were pretty tense and I was almost certain my bet on a draw would end in defeat, but Casimero saved my money in this match.
MU still dominated as before against Tottenham but indeed they had to be surprised by a goal from Jorginho with a penalty but they could reply well even though this was not in line with their expectations but this is a good thing for me

Scott McTominay made a mistake that unnecessarily pulled Armando Broja's shirt, so the referee awarded a penalty kick, but for him Casemiro saved Manchester United with his first Premier League goal.

i am not a fan of ronaldo but i know because he is a great and famous player, i often see him on the bench in some manchester united games after moving from juventus to manchester united, his popularity is not as bright as it used to be is it because of his declining performance, but since he has had a problem with disrespecting the coach and hasn't been played in the squad lately, manchester united has often played well compared to ronaldo in the squad, oh yes heard the rumors manchester united will release ronaldo to chelse, is that true

Ronaldo's attitude represents his heart, and honestly it is not appropriate to punish Ronaldo like that, he is a player who has contributed to United, even last season he was one of the players who scored the most goals for Manchester United.
Erik Ten Haq did not keep his promise to include Ronaldo in the core squad this season, even though in the last transfer window Ronaldo had asked for a move.
Rumors of Ronaldo's move to Chelsea are still speculation and there is no certainty.

this season Newcastle has played quite consistently. just need to maintain their performance not to lose too many points.
last season we saw only able to finish in the middle of the board. and now we see it's in the top 4. like you said if they can be active in the winter transfer market. bring in some good players, of course, will strengthen them. they can overcome Chelsea and United in the race for the top 4.

Newcastle have turned into a better team than last season, apart from Arsenal and Manchester City, they are a team that has only lost once and they are the team that has drawn the most times. It is noted that they have recorded 6 draws, which indicates that they are indeed one of the difficult teams to beat. They still need to improve their performance, because even though they are hard to beat but winning is the main thing in the competition.

I agree with you. We should not blame Ronaldo entirely for his lack of form. A player needs to work hard to adapt to the team and also needs the support of the coach. It is not possible to adapt to the team without the help of the coach. At the same time, Ten Hag does not give enough opportunities to Ronaldo. He doesn't like Ronaldo. This is why he is not supporting Ronaldo. So Ronaldo's off form should not be blamed entirely on Ronaldo. He is deprived of adequate opportunities and cooperation.

The opportunity between Ronaldo and Erik ten Hag confirmed that Ronaldo would eventually be allowed to leave in the next transfer window if there was a club interested in him. Erik Ten Hag currently doesn't seem to need Ronaldo in his squad, so I don't think Ronaldo will ever find a game that calms him down. Man United is far different and the atmosphere is no longer what it used to be, Erik Ten Hag's coaching has different perceptions in running the squad. Like it or not, Ronaldo will definitely leave Man United the next season.

why do you say that Erik doesn't deserve to punish ronaldo even though he is a senior player in the team. Rules are rules, if a player breaks the rules, he must be punished for his behavior. Well the situation seems to have ended and there is no need to bring it up again because Erik has said that Ronaldo has returned to training with the Manchester United squad. Now what ronaldo has to do is play better and be able to make a big contribution like he did in the previous season and erik has to give cristiano ronaldo more playing time in the upcoming matches.

Ronaldo attitude did not stop other clubs from trying to get him. Just look at Antonio Cassano attitude, his temperament is worse than Ronaldo, but still there are clubs who signed him.

It is guaranteed that Ronaldo could still go to any team he wants, and I mean ANY team he wants, the only thing that would stop would be playing minutes + money. If he accepts to go to a club for what is acceptable amount, and if United sells him for cheap or even free, he could go to Real Madrid and I am not even joking he would play there today, sure it would be hard to place him since they have great players in all positions but they could find a position for him.

The only thing that stopped him during this off season was the fact that United want something in return, and Ronaldo has 20-30 million salary, that’s not easy for most clubs in the world.

[GiftedMAN]

Age has nothing to do with the body, it has to do with the mindset and I don't think Ronaldo is too old enough to play MLS. He is not a bad player if you send him to Man City he will score as much or more than whoever is leading with goals. Man United need to get rid of those player's that are selfish and doesn't pass ball for team play both in attack defense and midfied. He should remain at United but they should sign creative player's like they had that year in Real Madrid. A lot of this Ronaldo talks, how can you send Ronaldo to MLS, that's stupid

I strongly agree with you on this, a lot of forks out there are saying that Ronaldo is old therefore he should go to MLS I think they are being biased towards him, the club and the players of Manchester United are making things so difficult for the star who is giving all he's got to assist the team but they aren't giving him the passes so he could score goals as he always did at Real Madrid. For Ronaldo to remain in Manchester United and excel Ten hag needs to sign a player who can feed Ronaldo with good passes let's see if he won't score more than Haaland even at his age. IMO, I think Ronaldo should go to a team that plays Manchester City's kind of football let's see if the talks about his age and inability to score goals will be heard again.

The new owners of Newcastle are doing everything in their power to h make the club title contenders in the EPL,  they are investing in the team massively, their transfer dealings have been productive and effective. Quite a number of top players including Coutinho, Isak, Trippier etc have joined the club and are excelling and improving the team positively. This just shows the plan and the level at which Newcastle wants to be playing and competing.

Actually this is just the beginning I think for Newcastle because in any case no one has really been able to make them known properly with their current players and this is their first step to bring in other great players in the future. But the fact is that even with their current squad they will already be transformed into a club that can be a dark horse at this time and that means that the funds spent are actually going in a good direction now.

Ten Hag already has children who are much younger than the rumored Ronaldo issue, so in the winter transfer window it will have to make a decision for Ronaldo where he will go but there is other news that Napoli are ready to accommodate Ronaldo but with a salary that is not too big , will Ronaldo accept the offer? I don't think Napoli is a final decision either when so thinking could change the transfer window arrives.
Ten Hag certainly had better plans in the absence of Ronaldo so I think it would be the right decision if he left.
