Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Balmain]

Manchester United performance has improved significantly under Erik ten Hag direction giving supporters reason for confidence. The team development and recent stability point to a bright future thus it is realistic to anticipate that they will continue their consistency in the forthcoming season. The Red Devils might contend for a top four finish in the Premier League if they have a functional structure in place displaying their capacity to battle against formidable opposition. The Champions League where the club past success has raised expectations is the real test though. While nothing in football is guaranteed Manchester United has a chance to succeed in Europe top tournament thanks to the tactical nous of ten Hag the team growing cohesiveness and the talent at their disposal. To increase their prospects of having a successful Champions League season the Red Devils must show resiliency adaptability and composure in high pressure situations.

Manchester United have strived better under Erik Ten Hag’s administration, he is doing a great job with the team, first he has transformed the team to a team playing with team work, secondly he has impacted a winning mentality to the team and they now work hard and compete for trophies even against the best teams in the league, I think he has the attributes and qualities to succeed with Manchester United.

Erik Han Tag really turned Manchester United into a team. The point he brought when the team was completely disbanded in a season is an admirable achievement.  . Eric han Tag came to the team and continued to instill certain discipline methods into the team. I can say that Rashord has been really good as a goal contribution this season. I heard that many names left the team, including Harry Maguire. As if steps are being taken for the championship this season, the ground was well prepared last season.

Manchester United have strived better under Erik Ten Hag’s administration, he is doing a great job with the team, first he has transformed the team to a team playing with team work, secondly he has impacted a winning mentality to the team and they now work hard and compete for trophies even against the best teams in the league, I think he has the attributes and qualities to succeed with Manchester United.

Manchester United's achievements so far may have been unimaginable, when Ten Hag arrived in June 2022 it was thought that it would bring fresh air to Manchester United, because at that time the red devils really needed a coach who could improve the team's performance after failing to qualify for the Champions League in the previous season and there was no degree at all. Although previously Ten Hag's arrival had made the fans pessimistic, after its success now the fans have believed and I'm sure they will be proud. Ten Hag succeeded in overhauling the team by releasing several players who lacked contribution and were deemed unable to develop and then brought in the new players he needed. Now Manchester United has risen and has carried out several major maneuvers in preparation for the Premier League next season.

[AakZaki]

No doubt Manchester united has been solid ever since Ten Tag took over, he managed to play two cup finals and won one and ended the league in top three,  he has proven beyond reasonable doubt, that he is the man for the job. and if this ownership handover favour the Qatar investor,  I'm convinced that Manchester united will be contending for the title next season and will perform well in the champions league as they used to.

its just unfortunate, that the ownership issue is still delaying and the transfer Market is very on, Manchester united has not brought in any players none sold any. this issues is really affecting the whole club. I just wish it turn out well for the club.

Indeed, there has been no news of a major transfer made by Man United in preparation for next season. But relying on the players this season seems difficult. They need central defenders, attackers, and midfielders who dare to work hard. Indeed, progress is quite good in Ten Haag's coaching period. It's just that they haven't performed stable last season. Ten Hag must be able to bring out the spirit of working hard and fighting together and eliminate selfishness for all players.

Arsenal's interest is huge and this is used by West Ham to set a high price and in my opinion that is reasonable because Declan Rice is a player who has good abilities and is also very young so this player is a suitable team investment for the future.
Arteta is targeting Rice as their main recruit this season, I don't understand why Arteta likes this player so much even though Arsenal's midfield is currently occupied by several players who have very good quality.

Declan Rice is the team captain at West Ham and of course, West Ham will set a high price for any club interested in recruiting Declan Rice. Also, even though Arsenal's midfield is currently filled with players who have good quality, that doesn't mean Arsenal are satisfied with the potential of the players they have. Because of course, with the inclusion of Declan Rice in their squad, it will be easier for Arteta to rotate players and this also makes the main players and reserves both have good quality.

If you already have good players in a position, spending a lot of money on that position would not make sense, go look for players in a position that you are weaker. It's hard to pinpoint which position Arsenal is the weakest, they do have a good all around team and I like the way they played as well so transfer will be something quite difficult for them.

I am not saying that they won't make one, of course they would but it's not going to be anything impactful I bet, it's going to be something that will be mild. I am not expecting them to get a huge name superstar for their club, not only they do not have the money to do that, but they also do not have the need, they almost won the title this year and they wouldn't want to disrupt that this season.

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal are serious about getting Declan Rice’s signature and have had two of their bids rejected already, I’m also shocked how much West Ham United are requesting for Declan Rice’s signature and it also reminded me Harry Maguire was signed for a whopping £80m plus and he is not even performing half the expectations for an 80million Euros worth player. Declan Rice is a good player but £100million is just too much to be demanding for a player from West Ham United.

It seems, Manchester City are not too serious about bringing in this midfielder owned by West ham. because, it is not difficult for Manchester City to compete with Arsenal for the services of the midfielder. City, have financial abundance if they are serious. besides that, City is the way for Declan Rice to win trophies in various competitions. it's just, why are they officially out of the race to bring Declan Rice to the Etihad Stadium.
I don't think Pep is too focused on recruiting him in this summer's transfer window.

Another rumor, the Mail has confirmed Arsenal will enter into fresh talks with West Ham on Wednesday about their remaining bid. if it does eventually reach the £105 million mark, Rice will become the most expensive English player of all time. Furthermore, the latest update claims that Rice will now ask West Ham to accept Arsenal's £105 million bid. I also quote a report from Romano who said, "today or tomorrow, feeling clear on all sides. Arsenal, West Ham and Rice" most likely, if this deal will be agreed by both parties. that means, Rice will play with the Gunners next season. and I just hope that what Arteta is doing is the right move.

A bbcsport news had reported that Man City had dropped out of the race to sign Declan Rice link  I think this is a relief to the gunner thus this an ample opportunity for Arsenal to quickly reach an agreement with West Ham, however it was reported that Arsenal wanted an instalment payment for the midfielder which West Ham outrightly rejected I think that is the only issue that is needed to be sort out which was delaying their agreement, though West Ham chairman David Sullivan is in full support of the departure of Declan Rice to a new club hopefully I few days time both club will an agreement while Declan Rice will also agree person term with his new club.

If Manchester City do fall out in the hunt for Declan Rice's signature then that is good news for Arsenal. I also read the news and have been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

West Ham set a hefty price tag for Declan Rice where £100m plus £5m in add-ons seems too high for his value. Regarding this I am very curious whether Declan Rice can really perform satisfactorily for Arsenal or maybe it's just a bad transfer.

I quote it here: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1674119998824931328?s=20

West Ham have just communicated to Arsenal that they’re accepting £100m plus £5m add-ons fee for Declan Rice.

The two clubs remain in talks over deal structure & payment terms — as West Ham want £100m to be paid within 18 months.

Final discussions and then… done deal.

You're right, and anyone else should probably admit that too. Manchester United under Ten Hag is better and developed than the previous coach. They ended the season in third which is not a bad ending with 75 points.

But we realize that Ten Hag has not completely solved Manchester United's problems so far. Ten Hag still has to bring in some quality players as defenders and strikers. Manchester United's defense is still fragile, so is the striker. So of course Ten Hag has to have a good focus on that and improve on it next season, especially since Manchester United is one of the teams that has represented the Premier League in the Champions League.

United surprised everyone by qualifying for the UCL; at first, they were undervalued in the early games, but as time passed, the squad regained its form and continued their winning streak. The red devils have significant challenges that must be addressed, but everything is progressing smoothly. Manchester United had a tremendous season, and qualifying for the Champions League is an incredible achievement for the team and fans. Erik Ten Hag will strive to add more players as soon as United is sold, because the bidding process is depleting the transfer budget.

He had a wonderful season but needs more capable hands to help make the champion league race more comfortable.  I was thinking he will go for defenders and a central attacker but rather I'm hearing noise about signing Mason mount from chelsea. He's been offered £120 to revamp the team.
If he can have a proper look into the transfer market, there are likes of Moises Caicedo, Andre Onana, Frenkie De Jong, and Harry Kane. He can get two or more of players like this if he is able to sell out the ones he sees not in his next season roster.
United needs a central attacker and defenders.

Everyone knows that De Gea have tried for Manchester united, am not saying united trying to replace him is really a bad idea, i don't see anything bad in that, but the only thing that annoys me is that when i see people complaining about the mistakes he mad in last season and they do forget about the saves he did for Manchester united that really helped them, everyone is prone to mistake and when a mistake happens, i don't only blame the coach for that, we also have to blame the defenders of the team. De Gea have really tried for Manchester united which i think the should appreciate him for that and not just criticizing him for few mistakes he made.

David De Gea's performance is not too bad even though in several matches he made fatal mistakes, but I agree that Erik Ten Hak must look for a replacement for De Gea for next season, relying entirely on De Gea does not guarantee because after all every player will experience performance drop any time. Man United needs another goalkeeper to maximize De Gea and the rumored figure hasn't gotten any results at the moment and I also see Man United being too slow in the current transfer market.

David De Gea was also offered a one-year contract extension with the option of reducing his salary, from several media outlets that I searched for De Gea refused to reduce his salary, so that so far there has been no agreement between De Gea and the club and so far it has also been linked with leaving Man United.

Instead of accepting the offer of a new contract which would allow De Gea to accept a lower salary, I think it would be better for him to leave Manchester United for a team that knows how to value his qualities better. De Gea is the best goalkeeper ever, but I know he also declines with age.

I think there are a lot of teams who want to have him as the main goalkeeper instead of staying at Manchester United for the next few seasons. But all of this depends on Ten Hag whether he wants to sell his current main keeper or even wants to keep him until next season. For me De Gea deserves to leave Manchester United and try challenges in other leagues such as Ligue 1, Serie A or maybe also the Arab Pro League.

[Doell]

I think that Manchester United is back on playing in the Champions League again but they messed it up a bit in the end while in their European session,they were good enough to beat Barcelona in Europa League as I and many others thought Manchester United to be the favorite to win this tournament and they were far from reaching it.They were eliminated by a Sevilla that yes won the Europa League but it was a Sevilla in the bottom of the standings and they won the final against a very chaotic Roma.I think most likely Manchester United fans like what they achieved in 2022/23 season but it would have been a perfect season if they could achieved an European title which was surely in their reach.

You are right, before I thought Manchester United could get the Europa league trophy but they lost against Sevilla and were knocked out very badly, Manchester United lost and even then they couldn't score a single score in the second leg vs Sevilla. In the new season, Ten Hag must have a striker who is hungry for goals although there is still Rashford, but to be stronger in terms of attack then they need another striker. Yes of course, fans are really like with Manchester United achieved in the 2022/2023 season, even though it's not perfect because Ten Hag couldn't get Europa league trophy that season, but at least they got EFL Cup title.

Manchester United has finally returned to a good position in the English Premier League after a long time. Some changes in the game Hard work and practice are the main keys to their success. Manchester United was a big name in the Premier League in the last season of the English Premier League. This team deserves to do better. Maybe to change the status of the party a little more, this party has to make changes in some places. Manchester United will have an added advantage if they target a specific player and bring him to Manchester United. Manchester United will do better under Erik ten Hag. Manchester United will spend the next season better than last season.

Manchester United has undoubtedly benefited from Erik Ten Hag presence. The team has seen a tremendous metamorphosis under his leadership exemplifying the true meaning of collaboration. The team has been revitalised by Ten Hag emphasis on group effort and coordinated play, which has strengthened the spirit of teamwork on the pitch. In addition his capacity to develop a winning mindset in the team has helped them reach new heights. Manchester United now takes an unwaveringly determined attitude to every game prepared to forcefully contend against even the strongest league opponents. With his traits and abilities Ten Hag has unquestionably established himself as a capable club leader and his appointment suggests a promising future for Manchester United.

This is certainly a very high price for this player. But Arsenal also seems to be very determined to get him. It does not matter if they are going to pay the hundred million in 18 months. It is still a lot of money. I wonder if Arsenal is making the right decision by getting him for so much money. Arsenal must feel like he’s going to be a very important asset for the team. That’s why they are spending so much money to get him.

But my question is, is the 105 million actually going to be worth it to spend for this player?

Attetta is setting a very good system in Arsenal and I see Arsenal with a promising future. Last season they did fought a good fight but were a bit unlucky, this season will bring something different for Arsenal, especially with the joy of featuring in the UEFA champion league. According to Fabrixmzio Romano, The club is currently on a hunt for Jurien Tumber and is already close to agreeing on a deal.  Arsenal had a little defensive challenge last season and I'm sure Timber's deal will help subside that. Bringing in Declan rice, andJurien is a good preparatory measure for the gunners.

It seems that Arteta doesn't want to repeat mistakes in the last season when they got 2 successive defeats in the 36th and 37th matches
But so far Arsenal's efforts are still in the negotiation stage not yet managed to get the target player only a few players returned after the loan period ended
It's not too worrying because the transfer window is still available for the next 1 month there are still opportunities to increase negotiations.

Seeing the purchases of players like Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jullian Timber It is true that Arsenal will not repeat the same mistakes as last season. what a great buy this season for arsenal this proves they take next season very seriously, they do arrive in the emirates. Arteta is very ambitious to win many trophies with Arsenal.

Actually, Arsenal's players are all good, it's just that they don't have a suitable replacement player, it's proven that last season they couldn't be consistent until finally they were overtaken by Man Ciy. but with the arrival of these three good players, Arsenal will be able to compete in both the UEFA Champions League and the EPL League next season.

A team based on the players of defenders and midfielders can go a long way. For Man United to do well next season, the midfielder and defender issues need to be addressed quickly. A good defender can defend against the attack of the opposing team. But as far as I know the Man United coach is a very sensible person. It is hoped that this coach will be able to solve all the problems of Man United very soon

But my question is, is the 105 million actually going to be worth it to spend for this player?

We all know how the English media hype one of there own.  obviously we all know that Rice is not worth that much but Arsenal paying 105 million in 18 months is not a bad idea so long thats what the team really wants. Rice is a good player no doubt and Currently on the transfer market he is one the best DM available and Arsenal needs to replace partey so having jorginho and Rice as available DM for the upcoming season is not a bad idea. Arsenal are going to be playing the Champions League next season so they need reinforcementsand its high time Arsenal start spending huge money on players because big money gets you big players and 30m can only get you average players.

Seeing the purchases of players like Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jullian Timber It is true that Arsenal will not repeat the same mistakes as last season. what a great buy this season for arsenal this proves they take next season very seriously, they do arrive in the emirates. Arteta is very ambitious to win many trophies with Arsenal.

This would be a huge team boost for Arsenal, Rice deal almost done, Kai Havertz have already completed medicals and he will be wearing the same number he wore in chelsea(29). Arsenal spending so much on players now really amazes me, they have never done this before and that was the main reason they lost Mudryk to chelsea, they felt shaktar was asking for too much for the player and they became reluctant then chelsea hijacked the deal

But until now I still haven't found any news about Manchester United related to the defenders they will recruit.
Kim Min Jae is the most widely heard player but until now it's still just a rumor even the competition for Kim is still very tough for now.
Of course, this should be of more concern, especially since we know that the condition of Manchester United's defense last season was not very good when several of their core players could not compete due to several problems.

It is possible that they could go far in the Champions League itself, as their form is likely to get even better next season. However, their merit this season is largely from the fact that other teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool have been extremely poor this season. In fact if it was otherwise, it's unlikely they would have stayed in fourth place, I think their position would have been 5 or 6

[Pokapoka124]

Neymar to United doesn't seem like a good move for United, not the other way around. Neymar would be very happy to play in such a great club and looking at the new ownership discussions and all, he would be very good signing as well. However, he is constantly injured and United needs a good result right away, they can't handle all the bad negative results that may happen.

This is why it is quite important for United to get some players that would impact right away and make them great as well. They already have a few good players, and they need to achieve a bit better soon as well, with like 3 great player transfers, they could literally fight for the top spot and they may end up doing that soon this summer if they do the whole takeover and money injection thing.

I have a bad feeling about this move because I think Neymar will not fit into Manchester United’s or the premier league aggressive style of football. Neymar is a player that enjoys dribbling and holding the ball while Manchester United like to explore their quick attacking strategy. I think it will be difficult for Neymar to adjust to the style of play and also the fact that he has not played in the premier league before makes it a gamble buy for Manchester United.

One thing I hope for is that Manchester City will again have a strong competitive field for the title. The worst that can happen in the Premier League is when 8 weeks before the season ends one team is leading with a 20 points gap. The issue is that I believe this could actually go that way as several teams need to find themselves again first before they can aim higher and also perform well on most of the 38 game days. Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, all teams that could usually play for the top for a while but perhaps we now have Newcastle and Arsenal instead. But I think it is close to being guaranteed that Manchester will play a good season at least and maybe a perfect season if other teams are pushing them.

I believe Manchester City will still dominate the Premier League in a decade if Pep Guardiola really wants to stay long at City. This was the era of Manchester City as the best European team and it was really hard for anyone to stop. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and many other teams are all fighting for power, but Manchester City is still the best right now.

Manchester City has won 5 titles in 6 seasons, this is a truly successful domination. I don't doubt their journey in the first decade if Pep Guardiola stays and at least 8/10 titles they can have. In the past we have seen Manchester United do it, but now Manchester City are doing it.
