Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Velvet78]

The Declan Rice signing for an amount like 105 million pounds is really huge for Arsenal. In the recent times they have started to spend more money than before. Rice is a really good talent and hopefully he will strengthen the midfield a lot. However Arsenal still have a very young squad now. I think this also needs to change a little if they want to keep being competitive for the Premier League title.

Experienced players can bring that discipline to the team easier than the young ones. But I don't know whether Arteta has such plans for now. I assume we won't see that kind of Arsenal for many more years.

[JoyMarsha]

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

Arsenal hasn't spent much on signing players before, which means they are learning to do it now since they don't have to take chances again to allow what happened to them last season to repeat itself by next season. It is better as they are pumping money into their team to sign quality players.

Premier League is highly competitive. If a club doesn't invest a lot of money to boost its team, no trophy for them. That's why every team in the premier league is doing its best to sign in quality players in their team no matter the amount charged for the player.

Nice move Arsenal, for signing Kai Havertz and Rice(soon-to-be Arsenal player)

I don't think Inter would accept 40 Million Euros to let Onana leave them because Inter is currently in similar situation like Manchester United where they don't have other good goalkeeper which can replace their main goalkeeper. Inter do have Samir Handanovic, but he's already old and can only play for few matches.

Inter will demand crazy amount money to Manchester United, it's better for Manchester United is looking a new goalkeeper in Championship league or other league 1 clubs.

The negotiation between MU and intermilan is still ongoing now for onana. Onana's transfer will be complete very soon. As far as i know that if intermilan gave an ultimatum for manchester united to complete onana's transfer this week.
Intermilan will not accept further negotiation till sunday of this week. Mu must be moving as soon as possible to complete the transfer before sunday.
It's caused by intermilan feels MU was making the transfer becomes even more complicated. It's still possible to add additional budget for the club to buy onana from intermilan.
MU has not yet agreed with chelsea to buy mason mount from chelsea and it's still having a lot of fresh money to be used to buy onana. I think that the deal between onana and manchester united will be reached as soon as possible.

I don't know about solving the problems in Manchester united so soon because this team or club will definitely need time to restore it former glory days with sir Alex ferguson. I mean since he left the club Manchester united have seriously struggle to each in shape.

Eric ten Haag indeed has done brilliantly with the club in securing a place in the final three in table of the premier
League, but he still need more  time to developed the club

Erik Ten Hag will make every effort to bring Manchester United back to glory in the seasons to come. Erik Ten Hag first season with Manchester United was quite impressive where he managed to bring Manchester United to 3rd place last season. Manchester United return to the Champions League stage was a slick achievement for Erik Ten Hag in his first season with Manchester United. I think Erik Ten Hag just needs big support from Manchester United management in forming a stronger squad. Maybe in this form Erik Ten Hag only hopes that Manchester United Management will bring in new players in this season's transfer window because other teams in the EPL are starting to improve in improving the quality of their performance by bringing in new players in this season's transfer window.  Next season the competition will probably be even more difficult in the EPL because Liverpool and Chelsea will most likely be stronger next season compared to this season. So Manchester United must really be ready for next season with a stronger force.

the period in which man utd was coached by alex ferguson, that was the golden age of man utd, he was a legendary coach and even though ten hag was quite capable, i am pessimistic ten hag was able to emulate alex ferguson's achievements when handling man utd.  
but everything requires a process and when you look at the statistics of man utd which are slowly improving, there is a big possibility that man utd will repeat their success at the hands of ten hag, the new season has arrived, the competition in the top 3 of the EPL will definitely be very tight especially since man city continues to dominate.

[makishart]

Well, Manchester United is a team that doesn't have a problem with spending money to recruit new players and even top players. The problem is with the management that wasn't good nor stable to maintain the brilliance of the team.
With Ten Hag, the team shortly moved from playing like clowns to compete for the top spots. That was a good step for a team that missed a lot of points in the beginning of the season. Next season will be more promising in my opinion for Manchester United but they have to consolidate the team and get ride of useless players.

The better things to see ETH to sign some players that actually needed by the club first especially for the new goal keeper. I thought that the deal with onana already reached in the verbal agreements but it's still waiting for manchester united to agree with onana's fees from intermilan at this moment. It's quite clear that if intermilan is interesting on selling onana to the MU but MU thought that if onana's fees is quite high at this moment.
MU has limited budget to be used in this summer transfer season. Im expecting if the deal may be made between intermilan and MU at the end of transfer season.

United falling back to their streak winnings race, its just a matter of time before they get there. Comparing Erik Ten Hag to Alex Ferguson is an exaggeration; of course, he is no match for the acknowledged coach who achieved some memorable feats at Old Trafford. He is the best coach United has ever had, both historically and currently. Erik Ten Hag is getting there, but he isn't there yet, and he won't be for a long time. United does not now have those talented attributes; instead, they are full of inconsistent players who easily become exhausted during league games and fail to show up when they have the greatest demand.

[Raflesia]

Now the most important thing for Manchester United is to arrange the sale of the club as soon as possible, because there is information that the Glazer family is no longer going to spend money on new acquisitions, and the new owners, respectively, also have absolutely no way to do this yet. They say that Ten Hag is tearing up and rushing about this, because the club needs reinforcements, but he can't do anything at all and only looks with impotence at how the main competitors are strengthening.

Now the condition of the Glazer Family is also in a transitional phase I think by looking at the current conditions regarding the crowds created due to the current change of club leadership then it is certain that he will not prioritize buying too much but maybe it would be better if there is a difference in leadership especially when Seikh Jassim is right -could actually acquire Manchester United quickly because it could be a turning point for Manchester United as well.
Now instead of trying to sell I feel it would be better to bring in first especially for the defensive sector which is sometimes quite shaky when some of the core players leave so with something like that at least they are strong enough. Of course the improvement in attack is also important because watching them this season I think we know how weak they are in finishing and a lot of missed opportunities because their strikers haven't been able to give their best.

After Sir Alex stopped as manager of Manchester United there has not been a replacement manager who has been able to make this club win the English Premier League again, while to be in the top four positions they are still able to do it several times, but Manchester United cannot do much in the champions league.
When Jose Mourinho as United's manager managed to win the European league, so actually what Ten Haag did was not that special, yeah they were able to finally lift a trophy because it's a rare thing that can be done after Sir Alex is no longer the manager, but managed to finish in rank three isn't special. So next season Ten Haag must prove himself that he can turn United into a team that can win many trophies and what is certainly highly expected after not being able to win the Premier League for so long is to lift the league trophy.

Manchester United need a sharper striker than they currently have, because of the teams in the top four United behind the number of goals from Newcastle United and even behind far enough to Liverpool and Brighton, if Ten Haag can improve on last season's weaknesses, of course United will even more competitive including in European tournaments where they are not so good when competing other than locally. Unfortunately until now there has been no news that United have managed to bring in a sharp striker to strengthen their attack, whether they just focus on Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen if they can't get the first one.

[Avirunes]

If you look at some of the rumors, there are indeed several big teams eyeing Declan Rice, but I see that Arsenal and Man City don't seem to be asking too much to pay Declan Rice because there are other players they are after. but for such Bayern Munich there is little possibility.
but I was just wondering at his age and at such a high price whether any team would really want to buy him. well, I know Declan Rice has a very good performance because as I said before that a lot of experience but his current age doesn't have a guarantee to come out with a stronger performance.

Seems like you are not as updated with what's going around Declan Rice in transfer market. Arsenal and City were interested in Rice and both clubs made huge bids. Bayern never placed a bid considering his high price tag but they were for sure interested in him. Declan Rice plays very well as holding midfielder and with Xhaka and Partey near to leave Arsenal, it was important for us to sign a holding midfielder. Now Xhaka played as more of an aggressive type midfielder in Arsenal's formation kinda like what Gundogan in City's formation last season. Now I am not sure what kind of role is Arteta planning here for Rice here. I think he is replacement for Xhaka and will he be given a more aggressive role like Xhaka used to have or just like a normal DM which is what his strong role as I have seen till now. So I feel his performance will lot depend on how the DM roles will be distributed by Arteta.

[TheGreatPython]

I'm still not convinced with the players Arsenal has bought so far, Timber is good but I don't trust Kai Havertz that much. I Hope Arteta can work a little bit of magic on him because he was good at Leverkusen but since he moved to Chelsea he has not been that good. I don't know how Arteta wants to deploy him next season but I hope it works.
Arsenal should have looked for a natural center forward instead.
Aside from the defensive midfielder position that they might have covered with Declan Rice. they still need a central midfield. They missed out on Gundungan who would have been a perfect player for them so they need another player like Gundugan before the transfer window closes.

After troubling end of last year now Arsenal and Arteta doing good things and fixing their problems even still we are waiting for the Declain Rice but for this is also good transfer as he was not good in Chelsea but still just 24 years old and bright future ahead of him most chances he will be in good performance after poor time in Chelsea.

Gundugan is surely big miss for the Arsenal, but he already had mind-set for going into Barcelona so no one can do anything about this but now as they are trying to fix their problems now most chances we will have good start of the season with good for the title again these suitable replacements will surely give them good advantage in absence of their top players which were not helpful in last season, and they faced trouble.

[Pokapoka124]

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.

I love the job Mikel Arteta is doing with the team, since his arrival he has changed the team’s mentality and impacted a new system that has shown to be good and productive and efficient. Three seasons ago we wouldn’t have imagined Arsenal will cough out a whopping £106 million for a single player, this just shows how much influence he commands at the club at the moment. It is unfortunate their quest for the league trophy was unsuccessful last season but they did their considering the quality of players Manchester City has at their disposal. Arsenal are looking to try again next season with Arteta making good additions to the squad.

The Declan Rice signing for an amount like 105 million pounds is really huge for Arsenal. In the recent times they have started to spend more money than before. Rice is a really good talent and hopefully he will strengthen the midfield a lot. However Arsenal still have a very young squad now. I think this also needs to change a little if they want to keep being competitive for the Premier League title.

Experienced players can bring that discipline to the team easier than the young ones. But I don't know whether Arteta has such plans for now. I assume we won't see that kind of Arsenal for many more years.

Midfield was a major challenge for Arsenal in this season, that made them to ended up in second position in the premier league tournament, I believe this young talented midfielder will help Arsenal to handle the midfield in a way their strikers and defenders will experience positive changes in the midfield next season. Based on this achievement Arsenal has achieved in this summer to signed in Declan Rice, It will really help them to fight next season very well because it will create more opportunities for their young talented strikers to improve better next season. There is a hope that Arsenal coach will help the team to left premier league title up, because Arsenal president is fully ready to use any amount of money to bring in potential players that will help the team to break record next season.

True. Arsenal have been negotiating with West Ham for Rice since November of last year. It's hope that Arteta, will get his man through a record-transfer deal. However, it's important to consider whether spending such a large sum of money guarantees that the player will meet expectations. I just hope that Rice doesn't disappoint due to the enormous amount involved. Arsenal is patiently waiting him join in the midfield alongside Martin Ødegaard and Thomas Partey. While I may not agree the idea of Xhaka leaving, but eventually he is on his way out just to make room for Rice. We'll see how quickly Arteta can transform this vision into reality.

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.

Yes they won 5 titles in 6 seasons but there have been titles that were very difficult like the ones against Liverpool when it was extremely close. The other teams like Arsenal and Manchester United hopefully finally realized that something has to happen in order to be able to compete with Manchester City. Liverpool knows how it works, but they first need to get back to their old strength. I don't know if that's possible during a season when they only play the Europa League as Klopp is a coach who can create the best and most constructive tension within the team when there is a lot at risk. That is a bit different this season, but still they can hopefully once again resist the dominance of Manchester City and compete on eye-level.

Kai Havertz tweeted something today and he officially said goodbye to his teams and his teammates, He could be a good player for Chelsea because after all these players who left Chelsea teams this season. Kai Havertz is a young player with good performance, I'm sure he will help Arteta in the next season.

It has become a way for havertz to show his respect to the chelsea. Chelsea has been helping him to win so many trophies even though his performance last season was very bad. It will not remove the fact that if havertz has ever won UCL and more trophies with chelsea.
Havertz has been very glad to be a part of cheslea. Chelsea has been posting some tweets related to the haverts and other players who have confirmed to leave from the club.
I hope they will have a good journey with their new clubs. They won chelsea UCL and some trophies which is great achievements.

I wouldn't say Arsenal is doing well for now until they practicalize their adjustments next season, it will be visible when they are positive about all this. Arteta will do his best but one thing that is always causing issues for Arsenal is money and they don't also have the style of attracting the well-decorated old players. They can't compete with the highest bidder for the best choice of players.

As for Gundogan, I would do the same, I don't expect him to go to Arsenal. Either renewing his contract with Man City or moving to Barcelona were the best options for him. And of course, more benefits with Barcelona, so he chose it.

Mikel Arteta is undoubtedly doing a great job at Arsenal since he arrived at the club to manage them after his stint with Manchester City as an assistant manager to the respected and football professor Pep Guardiola.
However I don't think it's Arteta's lack of tactical experience or work that's stopping Arsenal from winning a major trophy since he took over rather it is the club's management that has failed to sign high quality players to the club. Arsenal could've easily be champions of the English Premier League last season if Arteta had more quality players at his disposal than he had. The transfer season is open but Arsenal are yet to sign a known forward player.

[bering]

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.

De Gea has spend 12 years in Manchester United and he can able to managed his consistency until now and he has 14 cleansheet during last season and this make him as the goalkeeper with the most cleansheet in Premier League and i think people should be considering this records before judging De Gea performance and indeed he has make several mistakes which make Manchester United suffering to lose but i think he is done well but indeed most likely De Gea will left this club because he will not to extended his contract

I think it would be good if he decide to staying and extended his contract but if De Gea insist to left i think it won't be a problem for Manchester United because the recent news i have read is Manchester United will get new goalkeeper and Inter Milan player Andre Onana possibly will be the next player who buy by Manchester United and it say they had been agree to pay 50 millions to Inter Milan and soon this transfer will officially announce however Ten Hag and Onana have been together while in Ajax and if this news is true then they will be reunited again

[dezoel]

Hopefully, Ten Hag can rebuild Manchester United and bring back the glory days reminiscent of the Ferguson era. At the very least, we can enjoy a fierce competition in the EPL, and they can establish themselves as strong contenders in the race for the Champions League.

Ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United raised the hopes I think of a lot of fans all over. He came in when Man United desperately needed some change. And some change he did bring. Having won the EFL cup and  finished amongst the top four in the just concluded EPL and qualified for the Champions League, one could say it’s a good start in the right direction.

I think we would see a more better performance from Manchester United in the coming season. They would need to gear up for a competitive season and I have some hope that they would be ready. It would be nice to see the glory days of Manchester United during the time of Ferguson come alive again.

Eric ten Hag's arrival at Manchester United surely have big positive impact, and now they are heading for the better future with this all now we need a good support for him from owners as well which are not doing good things, and we have news about change of ownership as well even nothing is clear, but surely this is need of time as well because if this happens then surely things will be on his best for the bright future of this club.

In last season, things were completely under control specially departure of Ronaldo having good impact on them as well now they are trying to have few suitable replacements which are important and hopefully all will be settled which will bring good results in coming season as well and fans will be also delighted after many poor seasons and now hopefully they will enjoy like they have done in Alex Ferguson era.
