Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[asriloni]

Manchester United are planning big this summer and they have to let some players like Maguire leave the team to be able to accept new players without disrupting a lot their financial balance. They are targeting Onana, but also Hojlund for €58m from Atalanta. I think Onana will be brought with the same price since Inter are asking for €60m and Manchester United announced €50m. Maybe €55m will be the last price + bonus.

Meguire is not willing to leave from manchester united. The club is now having a limitation to buy the new players due to its budget. How can MU buy hojlun while the club is only having a round €60m remaining at this moment?
The deal with intermilan for onana has not finished yet too. That means if MU must think so hard to find alternave player that is still affordable for the club.
I remember if MU was even trying to take japanese goal keeper as an alternative transfer for onana before the season gonna end. I don't wanna talk too much about MU since it has limited budget to buy the new players in summer.
I do agree with you if intermilan may consider €55m offer for onana. Intermilan has been targeting a new keeper to replace onana too.
It seems like onana is one step closer to join in manchester united.

[uswa56]

Even if Inter don't drop down from 60 million euros I don't think Manchester United will back down from the deal. Because Onana might really be the best option available in the transfer market now. They can't sign a random goalkeeper after having a wonderful one for 12 years like De Gea. They should be able to keep their defending reliable for bigger successes.

Indeed, on the other hand, this is the main thing that Ten Hag has to think about, De Gea has been able to become a stronghold for Manchester United for many years, and with De Gea Ten Hag's departure, he must think about a suitable candidate who has the performance of De Gea or even more. I'm sure there is no other alternative that Ten Hag wants other than Onana because I know he believes in him a lot and recently I heard in the news that now sheik Jassim has managed to acquire Manchester United from the Glazers family. If this is true then this is great news for the Red Devils squad because with the arrival of sheik jassim as new owner, I believe Ten Hag will have a better chance of signing some quality players in the transfer market including Onana.

Manchester United are very interested in Onana, especially since they have decided to release their main goalkeeper David De Gea, so Manchester United must be able to get a suitable replacement. Onana is indeed very good, so it is only natural that Inter Milan holds him at a high price because it is quite worth it with quality. which is owned by the players especially Onana is also still very young.
But on the other hand, I really doubt the Manchester United team's decision not to renew De Gea's contract, even though so far De Gea's performance is still very good and even last season his performance was still very good.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Man City are the only contenders for the first place in the EPL... Last season, Arsenal managed to surprise everyone, but no miracle happened and they couldn't win the league... Apart from Man U and Liverpool, now there is Newcastle who are showing great results and even managed to finish in fourth place... I think next season the battle for the title will be just as interesting...

Manchester City are better than other teams in terms of squad quality. Teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool cannot easily catch Manchester City no matter how many transfers they make. At this point, I think the talents of the coaches will come into play. And I guess Klopp's Liverpool will be the only team that can challenge Manchester City. I think Manchester City will be the biggest championship candidate of the next season. But the team that can push them will be Liverpool. It is too early to talk about the next season already. But it could be Klopp's year. Because the only way to catch Manchester City depends on the skills of the coaches. We saw this in Asenal last season.

Onana is indeed very good, so it is only natural that Inter Milan holds him at a high price because it is quite worth it with quality. which is owned by the players especially Onana is also still very young.

Onana got a good Champions League season with Inter Milan but Manchester United will have to take risk as the last season is a best one in Onana career and Inter Milan is a biggest club in his career too. Buying a player who has never played in a league is risky because moving to a new league requires many things to adapt to it. Onana is no longer young too as he is already 27 years old.

But on the other hand, I really doubt the Manchester United team's decision not to renew De Gea's contract, even though so far De Gea's performance is still very good and even last season his performance was still very good.

He made some serious mistakes which affected the club a lot like in Europa League matches with Sevilla and that last season is not a best one he has for Manchester United. In addition, his weakness with passing is a big reason Ten Hag does not plan to use De Gea in a next season.

[nara1892]

It seems that Man United and Andre Onana have reached an agreement between the two of them, they will be on a 5-year contract with an extension option, that's what I know but Inter Milan seem to be ready to release Andre Onana if Man United continues to pursue what Inter Milan wants, if not so with 60 million Euros then at 55 million Euros it is still very reasonable in my opinion.

Until now only one piece of news continues to be linked with Man United among these sales there is no other club that offers a high price like Onana except Man United, but maybe if Man United does not move quickly then other teams can approach him.

No other club is as serious as Man United in pursuing Andre Onana, perhaps because the option to replace De Gea is a compelling reason. In addition, Erik Ten Hag really wants to get Andre Onana, so if Man United is serious about the rate that has been set, Interr must be willing to pay dearly. Currently, the budget of funds owned by Eik Ten Hag is quite limited so Andre Onana payment options can be prioritized over the dwindling budget.

I think this is the season in which the other teams are going to be strong together to actually beat Manchester City to the English Premier League title. At the same time, Manchester City might also actually be interested to win in the Champions League instead of the Premier League competition. I think if they find it really hard in the English Premier League, they might actually concentrate on the Champions League. The next season of the Premier League is certainly going to be hard.

You are absolutely right, one of them is Arsenal, which looks increasingly aggressive and still wants to be a competitor to Man City. Based on recent local news, Arteta has started to change strategy or is trying to experiment intensively because he learned from last season's matches where Arteta formation and strategy did not change much. This time, to become Man City's competitors, Arsenal need more strategic options when on the field, as was done by Pep Guardiola who was able to rotate the game when the initial strategy was not effective, so he will try plan B.

Jurgen Klopp is still worthy enough to show the best strategy by competing in the Premier League against Manchester City. I also agree with what you said, for next season a club like Manchester United still cannot reach a point where stable performance is owned. Moreover, Chelsea who at all for now Chelsea will only focus on the development of the Squad so that they really show each other compatibility between players and coaches. One club that may still be able to show ideal performance includes having the potential to give Manchester City a bit of a fight next season namely The Gunner. Even so, I'm just trying to be optimistic about what Arsenal did with Arteta last season so that the results can still be improved and it will become a club that is worthy enough to challenge Manchester City.

Indeed, at the level of coach Jurgen Klopp is almost on par with Pep Guardiola and I am sure that next season there will be competition between Manchester City and Liverpool. Even though Manchester United has quite a strong squad depth, seeing as Erik ten Hag's leadership is sometimes not quite right in rotating his players and for Chelsea, because this is Pochettino's first season in charge of Chelsea, next season is still not enough as a parameter to be compared with some of the coaches above. On the other hand, I think Arsenal will still be involved in competition for next season, however, Mikel Arteta is a young coach who handles Arsenal and managed to prove last season that he can compete with Manchester City.

[slapper]

Onana deal should be completed for approximately 55 million euros for Manchester United. They offered 50 million and Inter still wanted 60 million. They should be able to reach an agreement right in the middle of these offers hopefully. The Red Devils had better act quick about completing the goalkeeper transfer after De Gea's departure.

They are lucky that they were able to find their target in a short time. Onana impressed people by good performances for a while. I liked to watch him in the Champions League as well. I believe he is really among the goalkeeper candidates who can fill De Gea's place strongly.

But to get Onana I think Man United need to be braver to increase their offer. Because at this time Inter Milan does not seem to be in a hurry to sell Onana. because even Inter Milan itself actually still needs Onana. So that Inter Milan at this time is like saying "60 million euros or nothing". Because Inter Milan also knows the problems that are being experienced by Man United, who really need a new goalkeeper after the departure of David De Gea. So Inter Milan will definitely maintain that price. and wait until Man United agrees. But Man United actually saw that the price offered by Inter Milan was quite reasonable. it's just that the remaining spending budget for the Man United club is currently only a few. and the Man United club actually still has to buy other players besides the goalkeeper. And this is what makes it difficult for Man United to make a higher offer.

As far as I can tell, Inter Milan is employing some form of strategy here. They are well aware of the dire situation now facing Manchester United in finding a replacement for De Gea. So, they've continued to put a price tag of 60 million euros on Onana, and I can't say that I blame them. They are within their rights to take advantage of United's plight. Manchester United is constrained in certain ways by financial constraints and the need to fill other roles. The concern that remains, however, is whether or not a protracted negotiation process risks losing Onana to another interested party. Is that a chance United is willing to take? I think it's about time Manchester United took a quick, bold decision in light of their financial constraints

[3meek]

The most stable club in the Premier League is still Manchester City. Liverpool and Manchester United are trying to strengthen themselves. And adding more talented players to the team. But we are not sure if they will be able to perform consistently well in the coming season. Because new players need time to adapt to the team. And so I consider Manchester City as the favorite for next season's Premier League title.

Of course, Man City will be always the favorite team to win EPL title. They have the strongest squad, they almost have no weaknesses. They also proved it in the last season that they could win treble winners. Moreover, Man City has a winning mentality, they continue to struggle although Arsenal leads the table in the 1st half of the last season. This is something that Arsenal, Man United, or Liverpool don't have.  

However, since Arsenal, Man United, and Liverpool try to strengthen their squad during this transfer window. They may have a chance to beat Man City in the next season. We must know that EPL sometimes has a surprise in every season. We also don't exclude Newcastle, they are playing in UCL in the next season. They may try to compete for EPL title in the next season.

By the way, commonly new players need time to adapt. But it is not impossible for the new players to adapt faster. Moreover, some players may just join new clubs but they aren't moving to another league. It won't be so difficult for them to adapt since they are still playing in the same league.

Man City are the only contenders for the first place in the EPL... Last season, Arsenal managed to surprise everyone, but no miracle happened and they couldn't win the league... Apart from Man U and Liverpool, now there is Newcastle who are showing great results and even managed to finish in fourth place... I think next season the battle for the title will be just as interesting...

3meek I believe that City and Arsenal both have an equal chance of winning the league because Arsenal have bought some of the best available player’s and majority of their transfers have premier league experience hence I feel that they’ll be City’s main rival. Furthermore then you have Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle who’ll be battling it for the top 3 spots and depending on whom Chelsea buy even they could challenge for a top 4 spot but they definitely won’t be in the title race.

I don't know why Arsenal got so screwed up at the end of the season, but I was very surprised by their results when they could easily win the EPL but lost points against weak clubs... If they've bought new players now, there's hope they won't make such offensive mistakes next season... Although Man City are the best right now, they have managed to take all the cups they could...

One fact that most have forgotten about the Manchester City squad is that despite the fact the club spent so much money to buy them, they weren't assembled in just one transfer window. Before the arrival of Erling Haaland, the club was lacking a world class striker. The quality in the squad is a result of several good transfers over the years.
Liverpool is the club that stands a better chance to challenge City but that doesn't mean that they're City's match in terms of quality. The new English Premier League season is yet to start but City are clearly the favorites to win it again

[hyudien]

In other words, Pochettino clearly challenged himself in front of everyone as well as satirized the coach who failed to bring Chelsea. Pochettino looks confident as if competition in the Premier League is easy for him. lol

Maybe he's trying to cheer himself up because getting Chelsea back to their best is quite a task. After selling several players and bringing in new players, it seems as if Pochettino already has the ideal squad. We'll see in the next season if he will embarrass himself as he said to the media that if you fail it means trouble is ready for Pochettino.

[abhiseshakana]

Manchester United already thinks David de Gea should be replaced immediately with a younger keeper than him, which is why Manchester United are not interested in extending his contract. The less than optimal performance he showed last season was also cited as one of the reasons Manchester United began to look at new goalkeepers who would become their strength under the crossbar.
Onana was not simply released by Inter Milan, the price that did not match Inter Milan's wishes was an obstacle for Manchester United, the article they have a limited budget now. This is the 3rd time they have submitted a price proposal, I think this will be a tough negotiation process between Manchester United and Inter Milan.
Inter Milan still persist with the price they want which is 60k, while Mancheste United wants a price below that.

Apart from the high salary, one of the other reasons that made Ten Hag reluctant to extend De Gea's contract was De Gea's playing style which tends to be a line keeper. While, what Ten Hag wanted was a Ball Playing Keeper with good distribution and sweeping capabilities. Andre Onana is the kind of goalkeeper that Ten Hag wants and I think Man United will try their hardest to sign Onana.

Mason Mount joined Manchester United and he is going to use the 7 number which is the same number Ronaldo used when he was playing for Manchester United and now Mason Mount a 24y old player joined this team when Ronaldo was wearing this shirt and number he was a kid at 2008 and he was a fan of Portsmouth.

Every top teams has equal chances of winning the league next season, exactly this period before the commencement of the league last season majority of the soccer pundits and analysts tipped Man City as the winner with Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd as the likely winner of UCL spot, yet an underated Arsenal against all odds almost clinch the EPL title after topping the league for a longer period of time, next season all the top teams has equal chances of winning the league with the exception of Chelsea who I believe will undergo a total rebuilding process to be undertaken by Pochettino, EPL is becoming very competitive now, it's almost becoming a league where before the start of the season a winner will be named not Ligue-1 or Bundesliga where PSG and Bayern Munich had always been the ultimate champions.

Yes indeed, it seems that Pochettino is overconfident, so although it may be good for building his own confidence. But for the reality later related to the results, of course it can succeed and can also fail. So yes, we also can not assume that Pochettino will fail, because even though we think Pochettino's statement might be too much or consider the competition easy. After all, at least if we have an assessment for Pochettino, how the results Pochettino had when Pochettino became the head coach of Tottenham and also PSG, maybe it will be a benchmark for the quality that Pochettino currently has.

the new season will start soon. and I think all the clubs have prepared their teams. rushing to solve the transfer problem that has not been completed. in the Premier League, we cannot directly favor the team that will win the League. even Arsenal, which was previously at the top, also finally stumbled last season. and next season certainly provides a lot of changes that will happen.
but, I have a feeling this season there will be a United and Man City battle.

William Saliba has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal until 2027 and it is certain that one of the young talents that Arsenal possess will be very difficult for any club to touch. We know that in the game towards the end of the season he suffered a serious enough injury so that William Saliba could not strengthen Arsenal's defense during this period and as a result Arsenal also often experienced a decrease in consistency. Mikel Arteta has a lot of confidence in William Saliba as a starter again for next season and it is hoped that his performance will not drop later. William Saliba will also renew his jersey number and he will wear jersey number 2 from next season.

I watched Pochettino's first press release as a Chelsea manager earlier today and he made some promises and big statements that he is at Chelsea to win. It's difficult to take management of a team that reached one of its lowest levels in recent years. So far, I'd say he has been cleaning up the team and sold off some of the deadweight. Potter didn't want to admit it but there were players that weren't supposed to be in the club last season but he featured them more often than not.

It's going to be a long road for Pochettino. If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that the next PL challenge is going to be really tough. All teams are arming their squad. Interesting times ahead and Good luck to Pochettino.

[Ryu_Ar1]

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United dare to provide an additional 10 million + for this player because if we look now actually their offer hangs at 10 million because Manchester United offered 34 million + 5 million as their bonus but obviously it also cannot be said to be easy because the nominal is still too big.
But if indeed they really want Onana as one of their successors for next season as well as to replace De Gea then indeed it is actually still possible to do and even that is a big difference but I think it is not a big problem for Manchester United to add and make a new offer if they are really serious about Onana.

It looks like Manchester United have moved to increase their bid for Inter Milan as it is currently reported that Manchester United have offered a new option to reach a deal at a price of €50m compared to the previous offer of around €40m. I think Inter Milan will consider this second offer as it is close to their asking price of €60m.

So it is very likely that this transfer will reap success when seen from the seriousness of Manchester United in recruiting Onana. So if you look at the results of this sale, of course Inter Milan will be very lucky because they brought Onana before at a fairly cheap price.

With conditions like this, it means that there are indeed 10-15 million problems with Manchester United with their current offer.
At the moment actually looking at what Inter are doing I think they are quite clever to do business especially by wanting to sell high Onana who they brought in for free it is really a business that can be said to be quite great for them.
I read some further news about this and it is said that currently Manchester United have made several other approaches to bring Onana from Inter so that Inter will be willing to release at a price below 60 million although they have also prepared several other options such as approaching several goalkeepers such as Justin Bijlow, David Raya, and Diogo Costa if in the end there is no meeting point between Inter and Manchester United in talks about Onana.
But in this case, I see that the condition of Manchester United is actually definitely able to bring Onana sooner or later, it's just that there is a little game where the strategies of the two sides really don't want to give in to each other.

Yes, i totally agree with you that the massive changes that took place in Chelsea's body put the team in a very low phase. In fact last season they finished 12th in the EPL table and it was their worst finish in the last decade. The main factor I think is the change in ownership of Chelsea, Abramovich relinquishing his share ownership to Todd Boehly and friends in 2022 and automatically making major changes to the management chairs, as a result of which their performance is slowly decreasing.

In the hands of the new owner, Chelsea have sacked two coaches, Tuchel and Graham Potter. it looks like they will repeat the old habit of firing coaches if they don't consistently win matches. It is hoped that Pochettino's presence as a replacement for Graham Potter will bring new hope to Chealsea next season, it can be seen that they are very active in the transfer market this time by releasing a lot of players. Hopefully Pochettino can lead Chelsea to finish in the Champions League zone next season as promised.
