Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Leviathan.007]

Liverpool experienced a decline in form because Mane left, as well as when Ronaldo left Manchester United to join Real Madrid.

Good players will definitely be missed by their erstwhile club, but if the team is made up of quality players, their absence will not be felt that much or for a long period of time. Liverpool didn't have a bad season because of Sadio Mane's exit, they had a terrible season because most of their players were in horrendous form and the manager wasn't able to bring the best out of them. I think clubs should always allow their players to leave if they say they want to, a football club should not be built around a few players but the entire team.

The departure of Sadio Mane broke a potent striking link that was a terror to any club defense in the world. Mo Salah and the Senegalese striker understood each other so much that it was easy to get goals with less effort. But Liverpool began to recover towards the end of the season and were able to at least achieve a Europa League slot. Clubs should also groom younger players that will replace stars player because they can leave at any time. Players should also be allowed to leave because forcing them to stay will make them ineffective.

Man United have wanted to keep David De Gea for next season, but the contract and salary deals are the main obstacles and demanding to be the first choice in the Man United squad cannot be given by Ten Hag. Because Ten Hag prefers goalkeepers who can build attacks from the back, which is why currently Onana is targeted to replace De Gea. It's only natural that Ten Hag did this because every coach has his own vision and mission in building a squad and so does he.

David De Gea was one of the highest-paid goalkeepers in Europe. But his performance has reduced drastically in recent times, yet he still wants the same wage. Manchester United is unwilling to grant him such a lucrative contract. Andree Onana will be a better and cheaper alternative. He is still young and will spend more time with the Red Devils. If the deal to bring Onana fails the club might consider bringing back the loaned Dean Henderson from Nottingham Forest and also put much effort to sign the Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

@fiatless, you got it wrong. the David Dagae never told Manchester united to add his salary, David dagea even cut off his salary to remain in Manchester united. But Erik Teg don't want him to stay anymore, his target in on Onana,  no keep will perform better in front of Maguire, for many season David Dagea was Manchester united player of the season, he did his best for the club and the end up badly, there was no farewell honour to him as legend.

let's watch out how Andrew Onana will perform, this season.

De Gea is getting old and maybe that's why Manchester United tried to decrease his salary for the next season since is a famous payer and achieved many goals for this team. It was not good to ask this from De Gea however I think it was not about salary but that's mostly because of Ten Hag, he prefers to work with the goalkeeper he had at Ajax

If the deal to bring Onana fails the club might consider bringing back the loaned Dean Henderson from Nottingham Forest and also put much effort to sign the Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

De Gea's performance is not too bad He is even included in the ranks of the 4 best goalkeepers in the Premier League based on the number of goals conceded after all the success of Manchester United finished in 3rd place was due to De Gea's efforts it's just that Manchester thinks his ability will slowly decrease and they need to regenerate. I agree if the salary should be lowered and allocated to a new goalkeeper unfortunately De Gea did not agree and had to be released.

Although De Gea did not perform badly, Manchester United may not have been able to perform as well as before, so they may have come to such a decision. If De Gea has been offered a cut by Manchester United to stay at the club, De Gea should have taken a cut to stay at the club as he is an old enough goalkeeper to leave the club at this moment. Don't wait for money. If he could have improved his game a little more by playing a regular goalkeeper for Manchester United for one more season at a reduced salary, Manchester United might have renewed his contract with him again next season. It is natural that he will have to leave the team if he does not take a pay cut according to the terms of the club.

No, their plan has never been to offer De Gea a new contract, but it all depended on whether they can find a new goalkeeper and that was an open secret. As soon as they successfully found an alternative for De Gea, they refrained from negotiating any further with him and that was expected by everyone. The goal was to sign a much younger goalkeeper who can actually still develop and get better and who is less prone to fatal mistakes during the game like De Gea had them more and more often in the last few years. 

That's true because the harsh reality is that De Gea made too many mistakes at key moments last season, and that has been a highlight for Erik Ten Hag since taking over as Manchester United coach last season.
and reportedly Erik Ten Hag has a football philosophy similar to Guardiola, if you remember like Joe Hart Manchester City's best goalkeeper at that time. Guardiola dropped Joe Hart and selected Willy Caballero for his first Premier League game in goal, and he knows exactly what his club needs like Erik Ten Hag De Gea did for Manchester United.

Onana's arrival at Manchester United is inevitable and it's only a matter of time before he joins the team. Once MU finishes a few remaining steps, they will be able to make an official announcement regarding his signing as a new player in the club. No reason for de gea to get a huge salary in manchester united.
His performance last season was very disappointed. It's now time for MU to move on from him. Onana potentially play even better compared with de gea. The club needs regeneration and it's a must.

There's is also another important task to remove meguire from the club as soon as possible. MU for a better team next season.

[Dickiy]

And still Harry Maguire is still in the club, and the legendary goalkeeper is no more. As a player Harry Maguire should really consider his future in the club because if he decides to keep playing next season, he will not even be the third choice defender for the coach and will spend a lot more time on the bench than he did this season. Maguire on the transfer market will be worth very less than the £80m that Manchester United got him for, and If Manchester United want him out they will need to agree to a very low fee to attract clubs to sign him.

Recently I heard that Manchester United had difficulty selling Harry Maguire, why did they sell him at such a high price. Manchester United set a price of 50 million pounds for Harry Maguire's sale. Indeed, this sales clause was lower than the purchase price of around 80 million pounds. So I think it's better for Ten Hag to lower Harry Maguire's sale clause again to get more interest from other clubs, because keeping him will also mean nothing for Manchester United. He will only spend Manchester United's finances with such a high salary.

They wee already showing some signs of improvement at the end of last season, this season they will play better as a team, except the players who are leaving the club will have an effect on their stability due to poor replacement by klopp.

Liverpool's performance last season could be said to be bad, they finished eighth. Klopp admits his club's form last season was disappointing but I hear he will take steps to improve. All clubs are making various improvements to prepare for next season, and I think next season's competition will be very prestigious compared to last season. Especially for Arsenal who have the opportunity to show a significant appearance to be able to win the title which was delayed last season.

I think clubs should always allow their players leave if they say they want to, a football club should not be built around a few players but the entire team.

Is Mane an exceptional player, yes! Did Liverpool miss him, yes! Did liverpook fell off because of him, no but the absence was felt. We can't denied the fact that Mane played an important role in Liverpool forward last season, he was the best thing that happen to Klopp ever since he came into that club but then as you said, the rest of the players were in zombie mode as if they weren't doing anything at all but I doubt if Mane remains in Liverpool, the situation would have been better, no player that was signed could do the combined assist and goals he scored in a season was done by any of them, not even the old ones like Firminno nor Jota did what he did in his last season in Liverpool.

I will say that if Sadio Mané actually stayed in Liverpool, the situation could have been a little better. But there would’ve been a drop in performance still. Liverpool had a lot of problems in the last season. Not having Sadio Mané is not the only problem. Only one player cannot be so important for a team Should absolutely fail. There was very little chemistry between the players. And the team did not work as a whole. They will have to fix all the problems. They will have to compete for the English Premier League title next season. Sadio Mané is gone and he’s not coming back. They will have to accept it and move on.

Andre Onana, one of Inter Milan's foremost goalkeepers, will be remembered. Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has left the club as a free agent, stating that he has no intention of renewing his contract because the club was unable to agree on new conditions, which included an increase in his salary and contract terms. Erik Ten Hag is determined to bring the Cameroonian goalkeeper to the club by whatever means necessary. The transaction has already reached a crucial point, with payment details still awaiting approval from both parties.

Onana's transfer gonna be completed as soon as possible. MU really needs goal keeper right now. It's caused by the main keeper was leaving from the club. De gea may be giong to the saudi club soon.
The question that remains unanswered currently is whether MU will make an attempt to purchase a new striker. As you can see that if striker has become one of the important position. MU has weghorst last season but his performance is very far from good.
MU is in desperate need of a lethal striker who can replicate Haaland's ability to score goals at will. Hojlund already lined up but due to the financial problem. MU was not able fulfilling atalanta's requirement for MU to get him.
Im feeling curious about who will become a new striker for manchester united if the club can't afford hojlund at this moment. MU was even using rashford as a striker last season caused by ten hag has no competence striker to be played.

MU urgently needs a new striker right now. I think that ten hag must decide it as soon as possible. Mount's performance in pre match is far from good. He needs more time to play with MU.

Arsenal officially introduced their new signing, Jurrien Timber from Ajax, with a five-year contract. He plays as a centre-back and can also fill in at right-back on occasion. He is a talented young player who is very good for the depth of the Arsenal squad, especially now that Arsenal are updating their squad list to face next season's increasingly competitive competition. Mikel Arteta appears to be very happy with his new signing and it was unexpected that he is still on the hunt after signing Declan Rice from West Ham. The transfer fee for Jurrien Timber is reported to be 40 million euros plus 5 million euros in add-ons and I think that's a pretty normal fee for a player as good as him.

The deal was agreed days ago but few obstacles and delay kept the announcement stalling until yesterday. I’m still waiting on the Declan Rice deal that has been agreed on a week ago, Arsenal have sent words of encouragement that the deal is very close to completion and announcement. I really can’t wait for this particular deal to be done and dusted as I fear something might go wrong along the line. I am really eager to see what Arsenal can do this season with the signings they have made this season.

Declan Rice's transfer to Arsenal has been completed, and it's amazing to see how often teams sign players to improve their team's performance. From what I can tell, the Premier League will be hot next season because of the odd ways that teams are signing players. There are many teams in the Premier League, but I haven't seen any that are signing players in a way arsenal did, that makes me think that the Premier League will be hot next season.

Since every position in arsenal is currently very powerful, I am unable to anticipate the results of the matches throughout the upcoming season because of how I currently perceive the players. It will also be very challenging to defeat arsenal during that time.

It was not good to ask this from De Gea however I think it was not about salary but that's mostly because of Ten Hag, he prefers to work with the goalkeeper he had at Ajax

Initially his salary was going to be cut by 100k per week and De Gea agreed somehow Manchester United wanted to renew his contract again and here De Gea did not agree and decided to move, we don't know if he moved because his salary were lower or he felt disrespected as a legend. actually Manchester United were criticized for what they did to De Gea but their decision is fixed and does not change anything.

[xzone]

Arsenal spent heavily this transfer window, if I am not mistaken they spent more money than any other team this transfer window whether in EPL or even elsewhere?
€226.6m given to bring Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
Gunners are now the team with the most market value among teams in EPL! If it shows something then it is how serious the stuff and Arteta are to bring a title or two for the team next season. Manchester City and Guardiola should be worried about its titles.

Arsenal spent a lot of money, it's a fact. So did they build a strong enough squad? They will pay West Ham 122 million, and the player they bought is Declan Rice. His performance last season was not very high, he is a talented and young player, but I don't know if he deserves that much money. We will see together

[X-ray]

De Gea's performance is not too bad He is even included in the ranks of the 4 best goalkeepers in the Premier League based on the number of goals conceded after all the success of Manchester United finished in 3rd place was due to De Gea's efforts it's just that Manchester thinks his ability will slowly decrease and they need to regenerate. I agree if the salary should be lowered and allocated to a new goalkeeper unfortunately De Gea did not agree and had to be released.

De gea's peformance was not bad overall but the problem if he was very often in making blunder in some important matches. That was creating more trouble for manchester united. I saw so many times de gea made the same mistake like meguire.
De gea was meguire's brother as these players were consistently making blunder any season. MU will get onana very soon. According from romano if the deal for onana's price already agreed between both of clubs.

Onana  gonna be a perfect solution for the goal keeper of manchester united. He will able to perform better than de gea. Intermilan is not yet finishing onana's transfer caused by the club wants some requirements from mancester united.
There's no reason to feel disappointed with the decision taken by de gea. He has been choosing his future. Let de gea leaves from the club with all of good memories with united.

Arsenal have spent a lot of money but I wouldn't say they have been able to build a strong squad. We have seen many times in the past that Arsenal have brought in players at high prices, but their performances haven't improved much. Arsenal often forget to pick the right players for their squad. And so it cannot be said that Arsenal have successfully built a strong squad. How the Arsenal team will perform next season is still unknown. Also, Liverpool, and Manchester United clubs also continue to try to add talented players to their squads.

I agree if the salary should be lowered and allocated to a new goalkeeper unfortunately De Gea did not agree and had to be released.

De GEA is now 32 with having nearly 12 years here at Old Trafford done impressive job but in last season he lost faith of new coach Erik ten and just because of this management not agreed with him even he was cutting his salary because mostly were feeling now it's time for the change, so they release him and now heading for the new goalkeeper with most chances Onana could be arrived but if this not happened then most chances Henderson could be first choice goalkeeper for the start of this season, and then we can expect new entry into winter transfer window.

Even right now they are having few good options, but they will be not done anything in hurry because they need to have the best available option with in their budget which will give them long term service as well.

After all, De Gea's salary increase at that time was due to Manchester United making efforts to restrain De Gea so hat not leaving to Real Madrid. So, if at this moment De Gea's salary is lowered, then I think that's fine because after all, age will certainly affect whether a player deserves to be paid handsomely or not. After all, if De Gea still wants to be paid handsomely at a no longer young age, then De Gea can choose to play in the Saudi Professional League. Because there are clubs that play in the Saudi Professional League, they are still willing to pay a premium for legendary players who are over 30 years old.

[doomloop]

Manchester United recent advancement and top fur finish are undeniable signs that Erik ten Hag has made positive modifications. But in the next seasons he will unavoidably face higher expectations. The team will be encouraged to achieve new heights by the board expected demand for a consistent title challenge. Regarding their hopes of playing in the Champions League their first objective should be to successfully go through the first few rounds of the new format and qualify for the round of 16. While accomplishing all of these goals is not impossible doing so is an incredibly difficult endeavour that calls for even higher performance levels. Utilising the transfer window effectively should be a primary focus for United in order to increase their chances of achieving these lofty goals, especially with the purchase of a quality center forward.p

Arrival of Erik ten Haq improved performance and quality of the Manchester United which is good chance for them after long time now things are going more improved because he is learning from his last season mistakes and trying to fix all things which give them problems in last season with this as they are doing hopefully now they could be title contender in next season which is surely going to be more interesting because now they are at their best and surely can challenge champions Manchester City as well.

With the entry into Champions League and also fighting for the league title is surely going to be tough but as they are having enough quality players hopefully we will have them at their best few new players are going to be brought back glory days with their quality performance.

But I think De Gea's reduced salary was not only because of his old age but De Gea's own desire to continue to extend his contract and still stay at Manchester United even though his salary had to be reduced.
De Gea's loyalty to Manchester is not only because of money, but he really loves Manchester United because for several years De Gea has always contributed well there.
Despite the decision by Manchester United officials to expel De Gea, they had no choice but to accept offers from any club, even if they had to part ways with the club he loved.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Manchester United's opening proposal for Andre Onana was £38.5 million (€45 million), but Inter Milan values the goalkeeper at £51 million (€60 million), so the parties are attempting to reach an agreement. The 27-year-old ex-Cameroon international joined Inter on a five-year deal from Ajax last summer. Inter director Piero Ausilio has stated that offers for Onana will be considered as the club looks to acquire funds to support a move for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

Manchester United have reached an agreement and agreed to pay €50 million + €5 million next is a personal negotiation maybe related to salary or other bonuses, if all parties agree then next Monday it will definitely be announced anyway 90% Andre Onana will move to Old Trafford. I don't understand why Manchester United are hunting for this goalkeeper even though Andre Onana is not a young player I mean his career is predicted only for next 5 years is there really no other choice? If only for a while then no problem  but if for the long term this is clearly wrong.

Manchester United should not undervalue Onana who is a goalkeeper that they really need since they no longer have a first choice goalkeeper. The price that Inter Milan have demanded is fair enough and Manchester United can afford to pay unless they have an alternative. Onana has experience and was very good in the Champions league as a shot stopper also as goalkeeper that can pass the ball from behind. Manchester United will increase their interest if other clubs show interest and try to start negotiation with Inter Milan for Onana.

[FanEagle]

Timber is definitely a great signing, didn't expect it to be done this quickly for sure, I heard about it just the other day and today suddenly it's already done, that's definitely a very fast pace. I hope that it gets better and we get to see something much larger. I am not saying that we can't have quick transfers but we are so used to having long term talks, like we are literally talking about Mbappe going to Real Madrid for the past few seasons, and it's more likely next season and all.

So, you "hear" about the rumors before it happens, this wasn't like that, we heard about it and a few days later it was done and signed. In any case, it's a good decision by Arsenal, they were so close to winning, and now they have better players.

I think it’s obvious Manchester United wants to bring over Onana to the squad and understandably so, Onana has some impressive stats. I don’t think they’re trying to undervalue him. Just cause there is a price, doesn’t mean you can’t try to negotiate for less. No doubt, Onana has great potential as well as experience under his belt and I personally think he would make a great addition.
Hopefully, both parties would come to an agreement soon and finalize the deal. Manchester United needs a goalie like Onana who would take over from De Gea.

Not only that De Gea is getting old, De Gea is at the same time doesn't fit in, with Ten Hag's modern kind of goalkeeper. That was among the reasons Manchester United moved for his salary to be decreased. Instead of accepting the pay cut, he prefers to be a free agent instead of accepting the new offer given to him.

To Manchester United, they felt like, it is preferable for them to sign another capable goalkeeper named Onana from Ajax than to renew De Gea's contract with the same high weekly payment, of which he has lost focus and doesn't fit in today's modern goalkeeper who can hold and pace ball without fear
