Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

Source : Joshua Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee has officially become Manchester United's first signing of the season and he has signed a 5-year contract until 2029.
I think MU was lucky enough to get a profitable deal from Bologna because MU was allowed to pay the transfer fee of 40$ in installments, meaning MU didn't bother spending a lot of money to recruit the players they needed this season.

Joshua Zirkzee performed well with Bologna last season. Hopefully his move to the Premier League will have a positive impact on the Red Devils.

Marcus Rashford would be that lucky player benefitting more from this guy's signature next season. I love me a deal when both sides are directly involved into each other having mutual interest should have been the word. It feels good to see that Manchester United management are backing Erik Ten Hag and getting him the players he wants, Joshua Zirkzee would be a great addition to Rasmus Hojlund next season.
As it should be they have a good structure of hierarchies right now who can help with affairs of the football transfer window. Joshua Zirkzee would, he is a pacy player, not over hyped. I'm wishing him all the best.

Chelsea actually have players that are capable of bringing result to that club but unfortunately it’s surprising to see how some of these players performed excellently in their previous clubs but their performance decline after joining Chelsea. I don’t know if it’s the couch fault or the entire system about the club. There is a saying that Rome was not built in one day. It will definitely take Chelsea some time to rebuild the team to be on their former track but do they have that time to exercise patience. Other clubs can tolerate a manager even in their trying time but Chelsea doesn’t belong to that category despite it is not bringing them result.

I don't have all the answers to give but I know that Todd Boehly has been a part of all these issues since Abrahimovich sold the club completely.
I see that he is much after the profits he'll make in the future than the current state of the football Chelsea plays. He is more business man than he is a football minded person or whatever. I see this is how he goes about it with his American baseball and basketball team, to make profits, they'll find themselves like Manchester United over these past years if Todd Boehly fails to change his approch over stuff's like this.

A lot of the players who formed main team have left Chelsea, and now they have a difficult and probably long road ahead until they can regain their previous level. To be honest, I think that Pochettino was on the right path, now Maresca will try to continue the same thing. Once upon a time, Ranieri also won the Championship and the Premier League with Leicester, but he did it with one club, and after that he could not achieve anything with other clubs, so this is a matter of chance. Boehly wants to experiment and look for a working scheme.

[SmartCharpa]

I think for them to get back in the Big 6 status, Todd Boehly has to ensure more trust in the manager and the players and let them do their things. If they are given time, things will start going their way more often. The manager that they have right now is great and had a great season with Leicester. He needs to be given enough time, and they will return to who they were 2-3 years back.

Todd Boehly believes that by changing managers every season they will be successful the following season. However, this will be very difficult to achieve. Chelsea is buying young players to compete in the coming season, and the other clubs that won trophies last season are also buying more players to improve their performance. Chelsea will not be able to win a trophy next season because other clubs are also hungry for them. Of course, Chelsea has a new manager who was successful in his former club, I believe that the Championship is a difficult league but not as competitive as the Premier League because it changes every season.

Chelsea management must be patient with the managers since it will have an impact on the player careers and the clubs. They should give Enzo Maresca enough time to avoid losing their players. If any other big club wants to sign them, they will leave because Chelsea did not have the patience that other clubs did.

I saw this signing trending on the internet and I honestly do not know much about him. I am just simply believing that since he is young and Manchester United went for him, that means he is good. I wish my believe to be true.
Meanwhile, what position does he play? He doesn't look like a stranger, but I think Manchester United needs defenders most in order to survive this season. After defenders, then finishers.

The problem with Chelsea management is that they want instant and miraculous transformation instead of slow and steady improvement of the team. Pochettino was on the right part of improving the team until he was cut short. Let's see what Chelsea have to offer this season.

So many teams were linked with Joshua Zirkzee but in the end he chose to move to Manchester United. I think Manchester United is still trying hard to form a dream squad and I hope Joshua Zirkzee can be part of that in the future. Manchester United often make mistakes in transferring players and soon the players always fail every season.

Actually, I don't know for sure what caused the red devils to experience such bad luck and I hope they are always kept away from disaster. We definitely miss the title competition, especially if there is Manchester United, the EPL will be much more tense. Next, we just have to wait for other news from the Red Devils considering that there are still De Ligt and Brahwaite who have not been confirmed to be part of them next season.

[wmaurik]

I agree with you. Todd Boehly couldn't put pressure on Enzo Maresca in his first season. New coaches usually need a season or two to adapt and find the right chemistry between players. I think Chelsea's first season will not have good results. Although I hope that at least Chelsea can get a top six position in the standings. Chelsea had spent a lot of money on players in the previous season but they failed to become a star except for Cole Palmer. I haven't heard any rumors regarding Chelsea transfers this season but I hope they can be wiser in managing their finances.

I think Chelsea really want to be in the top four next season in order to be able to play in the Champions League again, not in the top six of the standings even though that kind of target is much more realistic for the new coach and also for several players who have to continue to strive to be better. However, what you said about Enzo Maresca is also true, because if in his first season he immediately came under heavier pressure on the team management, of course this could have made Chelsea's condition worse.

Pochettino was going to do things differently and he was getting the job done until he got sacked, I believe Chelsea would have been much stronger before next season if he had continued with the club and now the new manager of Chelsea can't start from where Pochettino left off but he'll start up another build up of the team and is going to take time to do so. I get pissed to see Chelsea going about signing anybody they see and mind how you walk if you're in London @Inwestour if not Todd Boehly is going to make you a Chelsea player, that's the thing. I feel Todd Boehly is rushing into getting the team to be great again but he forgets that it takes time to get a perfect job done.
If Chelsea was Manchester United I believe the Legends would have been blasting the poor recruitment of the team, by now they would have sit up and start getting things right, to me this is a failed project, less signing and make use of what they have.
If Todd Boehly wants his experiment to work then the scouting department and especially the medical department need to be upgraded before the season get started because it won't be nice to see the new signings and those players who haven't played like 5 games since joining the side to start complaining of injury, Enzo Maresca need to speak up if things ain't working as he wants so the fans can back him up incase Boehly pretend not to listen.

[Leviathan.007]

Since Manchester United couldn't get good results in the last season with Ten Hag they decided to keep the coach and hire more -layers to get the team improved and this will be easier for them since they won't need to make big changes in the team.
Now it seems Manchester United hired Joshua Zirkzee the player of Bologna for five years.
They will pay 42.5 million euros for three years for this Dutch player.


 

[Slow death]

Salah and Liverpool situation is dragging a lot more than we assumed. I feel like he is a great player but for how many more years? If they can make some money on him, they should try to make some money on him and sell him for a good amount, that way they can get a younger player, maybe not as good as salah now, but will be better than salah in a few years due to his age.

So that would be a better idea, you are not looking to replace salah on his peak, you are looking to replace salah who will be terrible in a few years for a Liverpool team looking for prime salah times. That's why getting a younger player who is worse than prime salah, but better than salah in a few years is the way to go for their future and development.

Having Salah till next season is not suppose to be, I mean the player have tried his best for the club and his achievement for the club and how long he have stayed is a big sign for him to say it's time to go. I agree with about getting a younger player to replace him and Anthony Michael Gordon from Newcastle is a better option, thought Liverpool are eying to get his signature and they should go for him as soon as possible. They can release Salah if he refuses to leave because if Mo stays he won't be as effective as he used to be rather he'll only become a problem to the other players in terms of supporting the players to mark, so letting him go is the best choice.
And Liverpool don't need a player that would be better than Salah in years to come but someone the new coach can start his project with, after all they have bucket loads of young stars who have been there waiting to fill in the gap but if they don't think players from the academy can't perform like they want I'll still suggest they go for Anthony Gordon, he's a better players to replace Salah.

Barcelona fell a lot because they started to think that they needed to put only young players in the team and as a consequence of that wrong decision many good players will leave Barcelona. I hope Liverpool don't make this big mistake. salah played 32 games last season and scored 18 goals, that is a great contribution to liverpool, if they sold salah then they would be taking the risk of having a new player who would only score 10 goals, see the case of anthony gordon who scored 35 games (he played more games than Salah) and only scored 11 goals. Liverpool wants to win the title, they cannot afford to sign new players who score few goals, because that would mean that Liverpool would not even finish in the top 4.

He is not an overhyped player just like other player Manchester United had bought so far. But he is a good player and that is what they need. However the signing was so fast and Joshua Zirkzee is now undergoing medical right now. The 23-year-old striker had 12 goals and 7 assists for Bologna last season which is quite impressive for him irrespective of his incompetence team mate. If he plays alongside Marcus Rashford and Holjlund as the top 9 i think with his pace and quick response Manchester United will be able to score more goals in the league.

They sign good players and have a team that can actually accomplish a lot but if you look at things from an angle you will see that some of these players are yet to adapt to the new system but the major thing affecting them is a good coach to manage them properly. I know their major problem is a good coach and i believe Maresca will be able to bring out the best in them, i don’t know if he can do it in a season but i know he will be able to take Chelsea to victory some day if he is given enough time. With the strategy the owner are trying to use of signing younger players i think they are willing to give the coach enough time to develop these young players. New players will still be added so the coach will have a lot of players to work with.

[Uruhara]

You have answered the question yourself at the bottom of your reply that all these problems occurred with management or Chelsea president Todd Boehly who did not give much time to any coach who wanted to build the club even stronger.
A more obvious example is Pochettino's dismissal when this coach managed to make a very good contribution at the end of the season but unfortunately the coach was fired without any reason.
Meanwhile, all clubs need a long time to achieve a bright future to get a prestigious title like Manchester City and other clubs do, but Todd Boehly doesn't seem to have that experience so he wants something quick to get and is thinking about changing coaches at any time. can make a difference to the club.

Currently Enzo Maresca has been chosen as the new coach and this is the right choice for Todd Boehly but it depends on whether he will be retained later when he experiences a little problem and if he is retained, Chelsea will return to its glory days but if not, Chelsea will continue to experience the same thing.

But maybe in the third season Todd Boehly will no longer make hasty steps in sacking the coach at Chelsea. Because the past two seasons should have been enough time for the Chelsea owner to learn a lot that building a strong squad requires quite a long process and time. But I like how Chelsea got some young players who look quite potential. The only problem is that Chelsea must be more patient in retaining the existing coach. Because the impact will be quite bad for a young player if he continues to have to adapt to a new coach.

I feel like Enzo came at a better time. I mean Enzo should be treated better because Chelsea will definitely try not to change coaches too often. And the club will definitely be more patient this time. But yeah everything will depend on the results seen next season. At a minimum, Chelsea must continue to stay in the top 10. If this team returns to a ranking below the top 10 then I think Enzo will very likely get fired.

[Asiska02]

I think for them to get back in the Big 6 status, Todd Boehly has to ensure more trust in the manager and the players and let them do their things. If they are given time, things will start going their way more often. The manager that they have right now is great and had a great season with Leicester. He needs to be given enough time, and they will return to who they were 2-3 years back.

Chelsea is a club that does not have that ample time to wait till the time for their team to team be built to that level they want. They want quick success and it is not done that way. This is obvious to them and I don’t know why they keep sacking their coaches after every season even when they’ve improved the club better than they were in the past seasons. Chelsea glory days is far gone and have left them for a while now, to get those floaty days back again, they need to face the reality and accept some certain facts like Rome was never built in a day. They have to exercise patient and allow the coach to do his job and not distrupt them and the players after every season because they’re looking for quick result. It will kill the players morale and also the entire team’s success.

I don't have all the answers to give but I know that Todd Boehly has been a part of all these issues since Abrahimovich sold the club completely.
I see that he is much after the profits he'll make in the future than the current state of the football Chelsea plays. He is more business man than he is a football minded person or whatever. I see this is how he goes about it with his American baseball and basketball team, to make profits, they'll find themselves like Manchester United over these past years if Todd Boehly fails to change his approch over stuff's like this.

Todd Boehly goals and principles regarding Chelsea will not change and he will remain focused on seeking benefits for himself. Todd Boehly is not someone who understands the atmosphere of football, he is purely a businessman who in his eyes, as long as he can make a profit, there is no other goal. In football that's fine and there nothing wrong, but because Chelsea is a team with a lot of history, some football observers are a little angry with Todd Boehly every decision, who seems very indifferent to input from fans. Meanwhile Abramovich goal is purely to maintain the existence of Chelsea big name and the difference is very visible when Chelsea is in Abramovich hands and Chelsea management is in the hands of Todd Boehly.

I agree with some of your submissions because no matter how good a player was in his former team, he will definitely need some time to adapt to the style of play in the new club that he joins. Some of these players finds it hard to adapt to the new system, not because they are not good but sometimes the issue is from the couch who can not make use good of them to make them adapt as quickly as possible.

By the way, I emboldened your last statement in your thread because it's not very clear to me. Chelsea already have players that can even make up another first XI as a team but you can not see the result of their population. Chelsea squad is a perfect example of quantity over quality. There is no need to sign up new players to come and occupy the bench when they have enough already. It's not a good strategy to revive a sinking club, they only need a striker who's hungry for goals.

[Uruhara]

I agree with you. Todd Boehly couldn't put pressure on Enzo Maresca in his first season. New coaches usually need a season or two to adapt and find the right chemistry between players.

However, what you said about Enzo Maresca is also true, because if in his first season he immediately came under heavier pressure on the team management, of course this could have made Chelsea's condition worse.

Well, maybe it's true that if Enzo gets too much pressure in his first season at Chelsea then it will only cause him to suffer the same fate as previous coaches at Chelsea. So I think the most important thing is that Enzo just has to keep this squad in the top 10. And I'm sure that without pressure it will actually make a coach more able to produce good results for a team.

And Chelsea has actually made a lot of moves in the transfer market and has acquired 4 additional players in this transfer market. And I'm trying to find out how much it has cost them to get new players and how much money they have made in the sale of some players. And I was quite surprised because the results seemed like Chelsea were in a financially profitable position for this season. But because the player transfer market is still not finished, conditions will continue to change. ¹

Since Manchester United couldn't get good results in the last season with Ten Hag they decided to keep the coach and hire more -layers to get the team improved and this will be easier for them since they won't need to make big changes in the team.
Now it seems Manchester United hired Joshua Zirkzee the player of Bologna for five years.
They will pay 42.5 million euros for three years for this Dutch player.

Ten Hag is not the problem of Manchester United and am sure the management of Manchester United know about it that is why that is why Manchester United still retain Ten Hag as coach. Manchester United just need some quality players join to the players they have already. The problem of Manchester United in previous season is that they lack good defence and attack that is why they were unable to achieve something good in in premier league.  Left for me Ten Hag is a good coach he just have to put the players together and build a good team. If Ten Hag is able to get good players I believe Manchester United will perform better.

I think that by recruiting new players we can certainly make changes to this team in the new season. Ten Hag probably won't waste this opportunity because he was retained as coach of Manchester United even though last season he failed to be in the best ranking in the EPL and also experienced a lot of problems. defeat in the EPL, this clearly made all fans a little disappointed with the unsatisfactory results, Ten Hag must be able to take advantage of the players he will recruit that at least have experience and adapt quickly to other players so they can show a better game next season.

Maybe there are other players who will be recruited by Manchester United to stabilize their game, especially since this must be done immediately to get maximum results in the new season, especially since they will play in the European competition, namely UEL, because playing in the competition will face many strong teams. Of course, there are a lot of preparations that must be made before the competition starts again in the new season, Ten Hag must be able to really rotate its players in order to please all the fans and the board.

[arimamib]

But maybe in the third season Todd Boehly will no longer make hasty steps in sacking the coach at Chelsea. Because the past two seasons should have been enough time for the Chelsea owner to learn a lot that building a strong squad requires quite a long process and time. But I like how Chelsea got some young players who look quite potential. The only problem is that Chelsea must be more patient in retaining the existing coach. Because the impact will be quite bad for a young player if he continues to have to adapt to a new coach.

Pochettino should be the last coach to be fired by Chelsea at this time, because Chelsea should have given Enzo a lot of time in building his squad because however Chelsea have currently brought in a lot of young players who will likely need a lot of time to maximize their abilities as a team, according to me, Chelsea  taking the right steps now by building a team for the long term, because that should allow Chelsea to minimize their expenses to continue recruiting star players all this time, previously, Chelsea was a team that continued to rely on star players and was also expensive in their squad but the arrival of Todd Boehly seems to have changed Chelsea philosophy of relying on young players.

I feel like Enzo came at a better time. I mean Enzo should be treated better because Chelsea will definitely try not to change coaches too often. And the club will definitely be more patient this time. But yeah everything will depend on the results seen next season. At a minimum, Chelsea must continue to stay in the top 10. If this team returns to a ranking below the top 10 then I think Enzo will very likely get fired.

Enzo job at Chelsea will of course not be easy because he has to face many challenges to unite the vision and mission of the young players, but if Chelsea is patient with the existing process then it is not impossible that the young squad will have the ability to compete for the championship trophy in the english premier league later, I personally am quite sure that Enzo will fail in his first season because maybe he still needs to apply his playing system to the team and that is not an easy thing, but if Chelsea still believes in Enzo in his second season then we might see Chelsea starting to be quite solid and have good abilities in the English league competition in the future.

They can release Salah if he refuses to leave because if Mo stays he won't be as effective as he used to be rather he'll only become a problem to the other players in terms of supporting the players to mark, so letting him go is the best choice.
And Liverpool don't need a player that would be better than Salah in years to come but someone the new coach can start his project with, after all they have bucket loads of young stars who have been there waiting to fill in the gap but if they don't think players from the academy can't perform like they want I'll still suggest they go for Anthony Gordon, he's a better players to replace Salah.

Barcelona fell a lot because they started to think that they needed to put only young players in the team and as a consequence of that wrong decision many good players will leave Barcelona.

Liverpool wants to win the title, they cannot afford to sign new players who score few goals, because that would mean that Liverpool would not even finish in the top 4.

Barcelona issues have to do with having Messi Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, these guys runs the show of Barcelona and they never gave the young ones the opportunity to showcase themselves and you think it would be easy to continue without those sets of players? No they can't. In the case of Liverpool I'll still say it that they need to let go of the past and face the reality, age is not on the side of Salah and he easy get injured so if this continues how then can they play without him on the mix? The Liverpool side need to allow Salah be because it will affect them if they don't start now to play without Salah and Gordon is a better player not to replace Salah but he has enough to offer and it will be a step up if they rely not only on Salah but the other guys who are there and the ones coming in.
