Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Mr.right85]

Even if Osimhen will play in chelsea, is not this season. he can't play in a team that's not playing in the champions league none in any of the Europe competition. is bad for him, beside Chelsea wont spend such huge amount of money the Napoli President put as price tag.  he said is only Psg can buy Osimehen as it stand. chelsea is not an option, if he wants to leave Napoli.

Chelsea have enough financial clout to sign Osimhen, but they shouldn't be in too much of a rush to sign him for a huge fee. If you think only PSG can sign Osimhen, then I disagree. Manchester City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United can afford Osimhen for such a high price, but they probably won't because Napoli charge a price that doesn't match the quality of the player.

Osimhen is good as a striker in the Premier League's top teams, but I don't expect any of them to pay such a high price for Osimhen. Kane is far superior and more experienced in the Premier League, but his price is not as high as Osimhen.

Probably right in all you've said but, I feel at such a high price, there would be a lot of expectations on the player and that's another log of pressure for him much I think can affect his performance.
Not to mention, this is the premier league we are talking about here where on your best days, the least expected teams could become so difficult to defeat.

I feel V. Oshimen should spend some more time in his Napoli side and not be in a hurry to join other clubs. I don't see him to he either ways but, it would him a lot of good to gather some more experience from the Serie A league before joining other teams. Napoli is a good team still, a champion's league team and they've got some good players within it's ranks. He should enjoy it.

Kane has been one of the stories of the transfer window, with his future shrouded in uncertainty throughout the summer so far. Daniel Levy looks like he’s unwilling to let him leave, because Kane has just one year left on his deal, and as such Levy's bargaining power over a price weakens with every passing month. Bayern Munich have being the front runner and I’m not sure Bayern Munich would be willing to go much higher than their current bid, and although they are prepared to wait 12 months there is also the hope that Levy might lower his asking price should no further bids be forthcoming.

As quoted by Sky Sport, Spurs recently rejected a second bid of 80 million euros for Harry Kane. Based on other reports, it is currently reported that Bayern Munich have identified Julian Alvarez from Manchester City and Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus as alternatives to Harry Kane. So, Tottenham have turned down an offer from the Bundesliga giants for Kane and it seems Thomas Tuchel has admitted defeat, at least for now.
Daniel Levy's attitude has always been £100 million or bust for the striker, who has a year left on his contract. now, it looks like he'll be staying at the Spurs for at least another season, reported by TeamTalk.

Several previous rumors, Levy will offer a new contract to Kane by offering a large enough salary to keep him with Tottenham. well, Kane should have made a statement if he really wanted to leave Spurs. thus, Levy wouldn't make things difficult for him like this. except, if Kane is not interested in leaving Spurs and wants to stay until his career is over. I think it is very important for players to have a release clause if in the end the player wants to leave the club.
Speaking of Harry Kane, his loyalty to Spurs really deserves appreciation. however, if he does not choose to leave the Spurs this season. he will not get any trophy. it's a shame, even though Kane could have won various trophies if he was with a stronger club.  well, let's just follow this drama anyway anything can happen.

I had thought Napoli’s president was perhaps making the statement to like, nudge PSG into making a bid for the player and giving them somewhat of a tiny reassurance that the bid would might be accepted. They’ve got the funds to bid for the player and he could be a good substitute for Mbappe.

He’s wrong when he says English clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea cannot afford to buy Osimhen. They probably don’t see his qualities and worth of the amount Napoli wants. Napoli wants to keep Osimhen in their squad but is still open for offers that that’s too good to refuse hence the statement declaring PSG the only club that can afford the player.

If PSG are really interested in Osimhen, then surely they will make an offer that Napoli will most likely find difficult to refuse. But I don't believe Osimhen is worthy of replacing Mbappe if he decides to go elsewhere. After all, Napoli really want their best striker not to go anywhere because they still need him, but of course if a team offers him a value that is hard to refuse then maybe Napoli will let him go.

[....]
Harry Kane has said he doesn't want to stay in Tottenham Hotspur this summer. I think he realize that age is no longer in his side about clocking 30 years with no trophy. His contract should official expire by next year but he wants to make a fast move either to Bayern or Manchester city. I Daniel Levy should allow him to go , he has given part of his youth playing days to Tottenham so going to a club where he can celebrate trophy with team mates is a good idea for him.

Can't imagine how it would be if Kane really left for Manchester City and partnered with Haaland, so I think it's clear that it will be a very good line of attack and always a serious threat to opposing teams. But regarding Tottenham's difficulty in letting go of Kane's departure, a case like this is like a coercion. I think such an attitude cannot be justified at all. So yes, Tottenham should be able to accept the decision that Kane wants to leave, because it will be useless if Tottenham continues to force Kane to play at Tottenham then it will have a negative impact on his performance.

Any rumors about Harry Kane joining Manchester City? It was through you that I found out about the possibility that Harry could join Manchester City. But if such a possibility does arise and Harry Kane joins Manchester City, just imagine what an attacking trio of Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne could look like. Manchester City will become one of the better teams if the Harry Kane go to their team. 

I was also surprised that City is being mentioned here when there seems to be no plan to acquire him. Maybe a couple of years back but they don't need him anymore with Haaland in there.

On the other hand, Tottenham is currently working against Harry Kane's wishes because Harry Kane is not interested in playing for Tottenham at the moment, but Tottenham management is making his transfer price too high to keep him in Tottenham, so no good club dares to take him. Such a decision by Tottenham could end the career of a striker like Harry Kane. Because when Tottenham release Harry Kane in the next season, Bayern Munich or other clubs will not be so interested in Harry Kane.

I think Tottenham will eventually sell him before the start of next season. They have been very active in bringing in players this early maybe in preparation of Kane's departure from the club. I think there will be another offer and negotiation between the two teams.

[Luzin]

I was also surprised that City is being mentioned here when there seems to be no plan to acquire him. Maybe a couple of years back but they don't need him anymore with Haaland in there.

They've been perfect with Haaland, I agree with you.  Kane is the same type as Haaland so stacking strikers I don't think Man City will do. In addition, Pep's current focus seems to be to find a new midfielder to replace Gundogan. Currently Kovacic has officially joined Man City and maybe this is as an alternative to Gundogan's departure. Pep also wants to improve the defender's side, reportedly Pep plans to bring in Joško Gvardiol. Leipzig asked for a €100 million fee for Gvardiol. He is a fantastic young player, he has been trusted to feature regularly with senior team Leipzig at the age of 21.

[rendravolt]

Summer is still around two months away and that is still long enough for Chelsea to be able to get the good striker they want. If you look at the two striker candidates that you mentioned above, it seems that only Osimhen has the possibility to join Chelsea because this player still dreams of being able to play in the EPL and for Mbappe it is unlikely that he will choose Chelsea no matter what.

I know Chelsea can make a fantastic offer for PSG to let go of their star player, but Mbappe is also unlikely to agree with the club's wishes, especially now that both parties are in a bad mood. On the other hand, it is likely that Napoli will not have a problem if their flagship striker leaves, but with a note that Chelsea have to pay a fee that even ranges from 100 million euros. So I was more dominant for Osimhen who joined Chelsea than Mbappe.

Well and I hope Pochettino will be able to take every opportunity he has ahead of next season's Premier League. I'm not really sure if Todd is able to bring in one of these candidates, because clearly Napoli and PSG will release their mainstay striker at a very high price, especially for Mbappe from PSG. But if Todd really wants his club to recover quickly I think it could. If in the end the financial factor becomes one of Todd's problems to bring in Mbappe or Osimhen then I think it is very likely that Chelsea will look for other alternatives and I think they will take advantage of the opportunity presented by Juventus, namely exchanging Lukaku for Vlahovic. This will save the Blues a little money because they can get a striker like Vlahovic in an exchange option with Lukaku.

Perhaps the one that makes the most sense than Mbappe or Osimhen is Dusan Vlahovic and I totally agree with you. I didn't even think about that option and indeed at this time Chelsea are also very interested in being able to sign Dusan Vlahovic this summer. The opportunity to exchange Lukaku with Vlahovic is very possible if Todd Boehly is willing to spend additional money on this transfer. We know Juventus also don't want to let go of their flagship striker for a fee commensurate with a player like Lukaku and therefore if say Lukaku's + €40 million option then it is likely that Juventus will agree to the deal.

If you look at the two striker candidates that you mentioned above, it seems that only Osimhen has the possibility to join Chelsea because this player still dreams of being able to play in the EPL and for Mbappe it is unlikely that he will choose Chelsea no matter what.

Chelsea has signed two strikers. Why does the club need to sign another striker again? it sounds non sense to see that. Chelsea needs to strengthen another lines rather than only focusing into the attacking line. Osimhen's release clause is too big at this moment. It sounds non sense for chelsea to sign him with such price. Chelsea can get several players with such amounts rather than spent to buy osimhen. I prefer for chelsea looking for another alternative striker rather than force the club to buy osimhen. Is there a guarantee that Osimhen's performance will be amazing in Chelsea?

I know Chelsea can make a fantastic offer for PSG to let go of their star player, but Mbappe is also unlikely to agree with the club's wishes, especially now that both parties are in a bad mood. On the other hand, it is likely that Napoli will not have a problem if their flagship striker leaves, but with a note that Chelsea have to pay a fee that even ranges from 100 million euros. So I was more dominant for Osimhen who joined Chelsea than Mbappe.

Chelsea will never ever try to sign osimhen. I will recommend the club to get mbappe rather than osimhen. Napoli's president already made another clarrification of the club will not let osimhen and kvarat to leave from the club in summer.
Osimhen will stay for another year. No chance for the new club to sign him as a new striker.

Chelsea has loss a lot of midfielders and defenders. The club needs to make fast movement to add more midfielder and defenders. The club was dealt a severe blow with the loss of Azpi as their captain.

This will save the Blues a little money because they can get a striker like Vlahovic in an exchange option with Lukaku.

Buying Vlahovic from Juventus at the push of Lukaku is a worthy trade-in option concurring that it will save Chelsea quite a bit of money. Inter Milan cant seem to pay the price Chelsea want for Lukaku so i think this will happen soon. Two names that are hotly discussed in the transfer market Osimhen and Mbappe could have been brought in by Chelsea and of course it wouldn't be a real problem for Chelsea. Because if you look at their transfer market this time, Chelsea have released a lot of players and of course this will add to their finances to buy one of them.

However, Pochettino is no longer under the auspices of the old Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich who dared to buy the players they are after. this will be a dilemma for Pochettino if he cannot build the Chelsea squad to his liking after releasing many of their stars. Next season it looks like it will be difficult for Chelsea to win the EPL if they don't find players of the caliber of Osimhen and Mbappe.

Greenwood, a player of Manchester United, was photographed in Dubai with Anthony Elanga, another player of the team. After being discharged, he is regaining his fitness. It would be ideal if United kept him on workforce, but based on current indications, the Englishman will be on loan from the team to Atalanta until his Old Trafford contract expires. The red devils were planning to include Greenwood in their offers for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, and they are definitely doing everything in their influence to accomplish it. I assumed that Atalanta excessively valued their attacker because they estimated his value at £86 million.

It seems that Greenwood is a pure player obtained from Manchester United's akadami and also, because he is still young, it seems appropriate if Manchester United loan Greenwood to another club. But the case should not be like Pogba, successful in Serie A but when returning back to his old club that is Manchester United but his performance is not as expected. In essence, i think if Manchester United are really going to loan Greenwood, then in the future if Greenwood succeeds there, it should not make Manchester United intend to repatriate him.

Chelsea is going to find it difficult to get Osimhen, and am sure he won’t also want to play for Chelsea as at particular time. One of the reason why I think Osimhen will reject chelsea offer is because they are not going for champions league, every start player will not want to play for a club that’s not performing well, he won’t want to spoil his career at Chelsea, because nobody is confident that chelsea Will perform well next season, but Osimhen is the  type of  player that Chelsea needs, with the way their new coach is trying to arrange new squad for Chelsea, then it will be very nice for Osimhen to join Chelsea but as we can see it’s just like it’s impossible for Osimhen to join Chelsea due to so many reasons. Napoli president those not even want Osimhen to leave Napoli, and if he will be leaving, then he won’t want Osimhen to go to Chelsea.

The friendly match between MU vs leeds is happening now. Anyone can watch it here https://www.manutd.com/en/mutv

This match has become mount's debut with manchester united. His performance is far from what i have expected before. Even though ETH was not using the best squads owner by MU but mount's performance is far from good in this match.
The first half is not yet ended. Im thinking all of mu fans are also waiting for this match as they will be able to watch mount's debut. My expectation was too big for him. Even though this is a friendly match but it can be a good match for judging his performance during the pre season.

It seemed to me that if mount is not worth his price. There is still lots of time for him to make improvement. Mount needs to adapt and build chemistry with another player in the club.
His debut it's not so amazing like what i have expected.

[sana54210]

Chelsea really need a potential strikers in this summer, if their president will release the money for the manager to bring in victor Osimhen and Mbappe and they can make Chelsea to dominate in all competition next season. I think, Victor Osimhen will like to try premier league next season, if Chelsea manager can work hard to touch all the areas he need to touch for Napoli manager to release him for Chelsea because all Chelsea fans are expecting good performance from Chelsea next season. If Chelsea manager can also struggle to add Mbappe in this summer, and PSG manager is willing to release him to any team that is willing to agree for their demand because Mbappe contract will expire soon from PSG.

Chelsea have many striker right now after signing Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson seems enough for Pochettino build squad for next season exactly Lukaku still Chelsea's player. Victor Osimhen won't play for Chelsea because he can't play in Champion League due Chelsea is not Primer League teams will participate there after finish on 12th standings place. How come Chelsea brave announce interest to sign Mbappe? this player actually want to win Champion League tittle and impossible he want join with teams not play in Champion League next season, its not relation with Mbappe contract over next year or he will leave PSG in this summer. I think difficult for Chelsea signing many potential player because they not get participants in Champion League next season.

It's true that they do have a decent squad these days, I am expecting them to do as well as hoped for and I think they may actually do quite well as well. I am not saying that they are going to win the title or something, that's City probably once again because they are very good but that doesn't change the fact that we are going to end up with a good situation in the end.

I feel like the best thing to do would be making sure that it's going to end up with a good result one way or another. Even being in top four would be a huge deal and I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be spending some more money on making sure that happens, it would be a profitable thing in the end anyway so there is no hurt on spending some more.

I think Tottenham will eventually sell him before the start of next season. They have been very active in bringing in players this early maybe in preparation of Kane's departure from the club. I think there will be another offer and negotiation between the two teams.

It very much depends on no. of clubs interested in Harry Kane. Right now Bayern are the only one that seems to be interested and they are still bidding way below how much Spurs value their star player. It's 100m Euro atleast for a player that scores and assists a lot so I would say even though it is bit high for some of the clubs, Kane is a really a great team player and world class striker so his price tag is justifiable.

 I actually really love to see Kane in PL so I don't actually want him to go, maybe to other PL club-that's OK but no to some other league please.

It would have been a great start to Mason Mount in Manchester United if he was able to score in the first half. There were some chances in the game to score, but he could not. I take it that he has not yet settled and fit into Manchester United and the purpose of this pre season games is to help this kind of players that just joined the club. It is too early to say that he is not worth the price that Manchester United got him for.

I like the way Hannibal Mejbri plays, he has a good future ahead for him.

Chelsea currently really need a reliable striker and if I choose this option I think this is the right choice.
Because the two clubs are mutually beneficial and need each other like now Chelsea need players like Vlahovic to strengthen Chelsea.
In the next season I am very confident that what Mauricio Pochettino has planned will bring Chelsea to rise from the bad.

I prefer for chelsea looking for another alternative striker rather than force the club to buy osimhen. Is there a guarantee that Osimhen's performance will be amazing in Chelsea?

I am aware that Todd wants to have the best players who can help the club develop significantly, so he tries to take advantage of this moment to be able to bring in one of them, namely Mbappe and Osimhen. But indeed, with the current price clause being too high, I don't think Chelsea will insist on signing one of them because it would cost a lot of money. I think it would be better for Todd to use the money to find a more reasonable but reliable alternative. Todd has a chance in a deal with Juventus where Juventus have offered an exchange option between Vlahovic and Lukaku and extra money, I think this is a good solution for Chelsea instead of having to spend a lot of money to sign Osimhen or Mbappe.

Perhaps the one that makes the most sense than Mbappe or Osimhen is Dusan Vlahovic and I totally agree with you. I didn't even think about that option and indeed at this time Chelsea are also very interested in being able to sign Dusan Vlahovic this summer.

Yes this makes sense and I think this is the best option Todd could have taken, there is no time for Chelsea to waste the opportunity that comes along. I hope the management will immediately consider this and start negotiating with Juventus. But I see there is a bit of a problem in this situation, we know Lukaku just wants to go to Inter Milan because he really wants to play there again. It will be a bit of a problem for Chelsea in this exchange deal. In my opinion, it is better for Chelsea to take care of this problem from now on, start negotiating with Lukaku so that they are willing to agree to this exchange, rather than being preoccupied with rumors of Mbappe and Osimhen who may not necessarily be able to find an agreement with this very high clause.

 I actually really love to see Kane in PL so I don't actually want him to go, maybe to other PL club-that's OK but no to some other league please.

I also really love if him still continue playing in europa PL, but as you said only Bayern Munich are interested in signing Kane. Previously, there were rumors Manchester United also want Kane services, but Tottenham reportedly did not want to sell Kane to a club in the same league. So maybe Kane will most likely go to another league, but Bayern Munich are also likely to fail to get Kane, because the rumor they were only able to recruit Kane below the value that Tottenham had want.

I like the way Hannibal Mejbri plays, he has a good future ahead for him.

Overall, Manchester United played well, but considering it was a friendly match so it wasn't what was expected. But seeing some of the players did quite well in this match. The main objective in this match is to see the form and of course, the strategy will change every time. There is still a lot of homework to be done looking at this match, and that's fair considering this is the beginning of their form. I hope Erik Ten Hag can get to know the character of each player they have, there is still plenty of time to evaluate before the competition starts.
I hope they don't focus on the final score, because that's not the purpose of this match.
