Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

I believe the Chelsea management was impressed by Palmer's performance last season and chose to increase his salary. We don't know what the Chelsea management's target is, do they want the player to finish his career with the club? Palmer is currently 22 and has signed two additional contracts, making nine years with the club, Palmer will be 31 by then. Palmer's salary deserved to be increased based on his performance last season, but I don't think signing a new contract is an ideal choice because Chelsea management can add new players at any time and decide to sell Palmer to another club.

Palmer deserves it all because of his impressive performances last season. Chelsea are trying to invest in Palmer, he is a talented player and his ability will increase if the coach can handle him well. Chelsea's additional salary and contract duration are in anticipation or to prevent him from moving to another club, in addition Chelsea will also increase the Bay Out Clause so that other teams have difficulty poaching him from Stamford Bridge. Hopefully the change of coach will not affect his performance, Enzo Maresca must be able to make him a future star who can help Chelsea win trophies again.

I would say that Chelsea managed to finish in the top 10 of the table because of Cole Palmer's excellent performances last season. Otherwise, the Chelsea team could not even be in the top 10 of the table. Cole Palmer had 22 goals and 11 assists in 33 games last season. He was Chelsea's best player. Besides, no other player has been able to play consistently well.

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their squad and challenge for the Premier League title. In such a situation, Chelsea will never decide to sell a young talented player like Cole Palmer. If Osimhen and Cole Palmer are in Chelsea's attack, Chelsea's attack will be stronger. But they still can't reach a final decision on whether Osimhen will be bought by Chelsea management.

please don't say that Chelsea finishing at the top 10 of the Premier League 2023/2024 season was all because of Palmer, actually I known or we known that Palmer performance last season was very good and superb, but it doesn't mean that he should take all the glory because Chelsea ended at the sixth position last season, his other teammate like Madueke,  Gallagher, Mudryk, Sterling and the rest also make some good impact  last season, because that was you are trying to say. Who will actually to sell a player that is making or bringing the performance of the club out, but doesn't mean that other players are not trying, they are trying but his the one making more impact than them.

It seems like the feud between Manchester City and Arsenal continues this season, how could it not be, both teams look much more prepared than the other teams. It is interesting to see the breakthroughs of the two teams that have been fighting each other for the last two seasons until the last match. I see Arsenal will not let Manchester City lose again for the third time, Arteta has evaluated his squad and the arrival of Calafiori is proof of how serious he is about making his squad stronger. However, Pep Guardiola is always the difference, he is an experienced manager and he has quite a lot of ideas for Manchester City. But what is clear is that I prefer Arsenal for this season.

The fierce competition between these two teams will make the EPL even more interesting, especially since several other teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are able to provide surprises this season. Arsenal are very eager to win the EPL trophy because in the last two seasons they have always failed to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal transfer activity is also quite good, Arteta has succeeded in convincing several quality players to join his squad. Arsenal are on the rise after spending big in the summer transfer market, they need to maintain their best performance from the start of the season until the end if they want to win the EPL trophy from Manchester City.

The new season will appear more tough so I don't think it will be the competition like two seasons ago between just Manchester City and Arsenal, the league is going to be interesting since there has been good signings from other top teams in the league with Chelsea bringing in almost a new squad and Manchester United getting some good players to add to the team I think Arsenal may need to go harder with good performance if they are going to win the league next season. During the last two seasons Arsenal had Manchester City as the only contender and as the team playing in their level but looking at the level of signing in the league it's going to be difficult for a team like Arsenal who's always inconsistent in performance will play from the beginning of the season to the end without experiencing a drop in form cause they are always dropping points either in the beginning of the league or in the middle of the league.

The Arsenal coach has made some new signing into the team but they need to get better than what they had the last two seasons and in doing so they need to play every match with seriousness no minding the position of their opponents that will help them to stop dropping points in some games to should easily get 3 points.

Of course, there will level of changes to happen in the Premier League this new season because of the new signings some clubs have made in their team.
Why Arsenal and Manchester City are mentioned every time in people's mouths to lift the PL trophy is because of how formidable both teams have become in the past two seasons when top teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool signed new players in their team. However, who knows the result of the next season of the club that takes home the PL trophy? Whether Manchester City or Arsenal stay ahead of others(top teams) despite their signing of new players to their lineups, to stop Manchester City or Arsenal from succeeding in lifting the PL trophy.

Maybe Chelsea doesn’t understand that It’s not about the quantity of players you are having that’s going to help the club, it’s about the quality of the players that a club is having, so I am just surprised that Chelsea is selling one of the quality players that they are having, and they keep on accumulating young players for the club. I never expected Chelsea to sell a player like Gallagher. Since they prefer to play with young players who have little experience, the season will soon be starting. Let’s see how things will be for them, but selling Gallagher doesn’t make any sense to me, and it think it’s a wrong idea.

Well ion the contrary, i don't think Chelsea doesn't understand the effects of having quality players only, I think it's mainly them wanting to make some needed reshuffling in the team and I believe their coach has got a strategy where in the players signed will fit in and those sold weren't fitting in maybe, so basically they have got something which they are up to and they know much better so we can't be concluding already from this end until the season begins it will become much clearer and we get absolutely parameters for judgment.

In signing new football players in every season, they are need to be a balance on the quantity and the quality. In fact sometimes quantities even considered better than quality in football. You can get all the quality players and become unlucky that 60% of your quality players get injured in the middle of the season, what will you do as a coach?

I think this is the reason that Chelsea is signing so many players, so that in the times of injury or unavailability, there will be players to stand in. In fact in a team you have only the quality players and they are sure of their sport in the team, there might likely be no competition, challenge and improvement among players, because they know that they are shirt is secured. But when many players are signed, it will introduce the spirit of competition among the players to fight for Jersey and that will improve the overall performance of the team. Also consider the importance of squad depth.

[Gallar]

Chelsea are a joke to be honest, why sell Gallagher, he’s one of their better players.

What’s the plan, sell Gallagher and bring in another random guy nobody has heard of who goes on to flop hard.

Feels like they have no clue what they are doing, just signing players like a kid playing a computer game.

After Chelsea's ownership transferred to Boehly, I felt that the actions that Chelsea always took did not make sense. Starting from changing coaches almost every season and also selling players who have excellent performance. So if it continues like this, I'm sure Chelsea will not experience significant progress, even though currently Chelsea seems to have a lot of money and is buying a lot of other players. However, as you said, if the players Chelsea buy are not of good quality it will certainly be a waste for Chelsea even though the players are expensive. The reason is that currently Chelsea has bought 8 new players to their squad. I also don't understand what Chelsea will do with that many players, because currently Chelsea already has more than 40 players in their squad.

Apart from that, talking about Gallagher, who is reportedly going to be sold by Chelsea in this transfer market, I am also confused about why Chelsea wants to sell him. However, as we know, Gallagher's performance at Chelsea was very good so it would be better for Chelsea not to sell the player. However, from the news that I know, the reason Chelsea will sell Gallagher is said to be because the squad that Chelsea has is very large. Therefore, Chelsea will sell Gallagher in this transfer market. However, in my opinion, this reason is not strong enough to sell Gallagher. Because if it is true that the reason is because there are too many Chelsea players, Chelsea should only sell players who are more worthy of being sold, and not sell Gallagher who has good performance. So in essence I also really don't understand the situation that is happening at Chelsea at the moment.

Every manager has a view of the team that he coaches and probably understands the need for players as a step to make the strength stronger.
That's why there are players that are sold and there are players that are bought every time when the transfer market opens.
But sometimes the management doesn't give the manager the freedom to determine the players that they want to buy so it doesn't work out well.

Chelsea made a big player purchase last season and generally the players they bought were quite expensive for the class of players.
This was clearly a less than optimal purchase so they have to try to make the necessary purchases this season.

[Mr.right85]

The progress shown by Arsenal in the last 2 seasons is indeed quite impressive, every season there is a change in a positive direction from this team and if you look at that I think it is likely that Arsenal will be much better next season. And for Arteta I think he should be appreciated because what he did was not easy and the matter of defeating Pep Guardiola is not an easy job and everything takes time so currently Arteta is in the process with Arsenal and we just need to be patient until that season comes, I'm sure that will happen if Arsenal continues to consistently make changes like in the last 2 seasons.

I read some of the latest rumors related to Arsenal, some news sources reported that Arteta is unlikely to bring in a center forward in this summer's transfer window. It's a shame, I think they really need a forward who is hungry to score goals. Thus, the competition for the Premier League title will be even more open for The Gunners. Given their performance in the last two seasons, Arsenal has been able to closely shadow Manchester City in the League table. It would be a shame if Arteta doesn't bring in the players they really need, because Arsenal doesn't have a striker who is a finisher. Even though Arsenal has G.Jesus, Nletiah, Trossard and even Kai Havertz, they are not the type of players who are able to consistently score goals for Arsenal. Even though Arsenal's game is very collective with the type of striker they have, for us as Arsenal supporters we need a pure striker who is qualified. Maybe with that, Arsenal will be closer to the Premier League trophy.

Inexperience or not, Arteta is doing the work well. Y'all want overnight success? Arsenal degraded to level that would require time to build. Chelsea and Manchester United is going through same, and within the last 4 years or so they got experienced managers and nothing has changed.

Arteta made the club a challenging team and attractive to players to sign for. He doesn't have want it takes to get those medals.
That He's a good manager worthy of the job is factual. That Arsenal need to win trophies is also factual. It's disingenuous to still be talking about time  and patience, when He's had ample time.

I think the  longer he stays at Arsenal, the better the team becomes. If the club had wanted a quick result, they would have appointed a world Class coach.

Maybe he is Enzo Maresca a genius but it is difficult for him with so many players currently stocked at Chelsea I doubt he can see or choose his best starting XI and I think what the Chelsea owner did was wrong by buying so many players without knowing the problem where they have weaknesses and where their strengths are and I think the Chelsea owner did not give any space in this transfer for their manager it all depends on the will and desire of the Chelsea owner and I think Enzo will find it difficult to make all this a failure for himself because his figure was shining again when he was at Leicester and now with what Chelsea are doing I think he will fade and the Chelsea owner does not want to know about that.

Seeing Chelsea at the moment is very controversial with the many players they get and they refer to young players and of course this is the good and bad side for a manager who can't handle what the owner wants and I don't think Enzo Maresca has long time there with what happened in pre-season I think he is quite struggling to get this team up of course his journey will be the same as Pochettino.

[Minor Miner]

I'm sure Napoli management is asking a very high price for Osimhen. If there was a 100 million euro release clause, maybe several clubs would have been more interested in Osimhen. Napoli management should now reduce Osimhen's release clause. Otherwise, Napoli management will not be able to sell Osimhen this season.

At a point I felt like Napoli wasn't ready to sell Osimhen with the hefty release clause they have leveled on the player. The fact that the player is a promising one have already made him sought-after, making the 100 million you suggested a reasonable amount to be considered by top clubs who have interest in him and also have the money. But the problem is, adding another 30 million on the player makes him very expensive to buy. Whilst I believe there are clubs who have the capacity to purchase the player for a great price because of their ambition this season, I don't think those clubs will be ready to give a whooping 130 million to Napoli in exchange of Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen's contract with Napoli expires in 2026. Perhaps this is why Osimhen is not showing much interest in selling Osimhen this season. As Osimhen is very talented player. And one of the most important players in Napoli's squad is Osimhen. Perhaps this is why the Napoli management will not sell Osimhen before finding a suitable replacement.

However, Napoli management may finalize the deal with Chelsea. I saw several such news yesterday. Napoli coach Antonio Conte needs Lukaku. And since Lukaku is with Chelsea now, maybe that's why Osimhen is destined to end up in the Chelsea squad. And Lukaku we will see with Napoli next season. However, there is no definite information about what decision the Napoli management will take.

You can get all the quality players and become unlucky that 60% of your quality players get injured in the middle of the season, what will you do as a coach?
 

This is true and Chelsea really suffered from this and I think this is the reason we need more defenders but the Ironic thing is that 42 is too much while we're still expecting 2 more before season ends though others will be sold or loan-out, this has always been the issue of Chelsea but this time it's worst and annoying from the fact that some of these youngsters was bought with some sort of big money to join the academy whereas before it was often our Cobham players making it this much, for sure less gaming time foe many.

I think this is the reason that Chelsea is signing so many players, so that in the times of injury or unavailability, there will be players to stand in. In fact in a team you have only the quality player's and they are sure of their sport in the team, there might likely be no competition, challenge and improvement among players, because they know that they are shirt is secured. But when many players are signed, it will introduce the spirit of competition among the players to fight for Jersey and that will improve the overall performance of the team. Also consider the importance of squad depth.

There's also the chance of the coach having it difficult to pick players and also FFP from the fact that many of these players where bought with a huge fee while they opt to sell some good quality players to cover up the debt my notably now is Chalobah who ought to at least remain at least from the fact that the pre season showed how Chelsea defence is on the drain and if there's injury we can't just rely on Benoit who obviously is not really doing well than Chalobah now.

However, there is no definite information about what decision the Napoli management will take.

Chelsea currently has 13 forward players including Lukaku who still hasn't gets his number on his jersey so total Chelsea has 14 players at their front lines and now they want to gets Osimhen and just like i said before i still don't understand about Chelsea behaviour this summer because why they still buy more players although they have 41 players into their squad and i was wondering why Chelsea didn't focusing to gets Osimhen rather than buying non experience players because in my opinion Osimhen transfer is more effective than buy those players

About Osimhen transfer the scenario is Chelsea offering Lukaku as part of the deal plus some money so this method makes Chelsea will not spend a lot of money to buy Osimhen but this news is still not certain because there was no official statement about the agreement so this transfe potential will be failed too and Osimhen moved to other clubs instead of Chelsea

However, there is no definite information about what decision the Napoli management will take.

I don't think so, Napoli management must immediately sell Osimhen if they don't want Osimhen's market value to continue to decline.
We can see that last season Osimhen's performance declined which caused his market value to decline and if it looks like Osimhen is no longer wholeheartedly playing with Napoli and the new Napoli coach has said that he wants to include Lukaku in his plans for Napoli's front line which means Conte doesn't really need Osimhen so I think selling Osimhen would be better for both of them, it would be good for Osimhen's future career and also good for Napoli.

There is quite a lot of news about Osimhen's transfer now, because there are several teams interested in bringing him in but have not yet found a match with the price offered by Napoli management and for Lukaku's transfer I think it's a little easier for Napoli because Chelsea has not included Lukaku in their team's plans for next season.

[asriloni]

Chelsea are a joke to be honest, why sell Gallagher, he’s one of their better players.

It seems Chelsea is still thinking twice about whether to sell or keep Gallagher. The latest news said that if Chelsea told Gallagher to go back to Cobham, and to join in the training session of club.



But as per Romano said above, it seems both parties are still exploring a way to get a new agreement. But i've seen this same tweet like 19 times on X. And hopefully, this deal will collapse.

What’s the plan, sell Gallagher and bring in another random guy nobody has heard of who goes on to flop hard.

It's probably due to the PSR rules. Selling Gallagher will give them full profit upfront. This is what they seek.

Feels like they have no clue what they are doing, just signing players like a kid playing a computer game.

I'd liked to call them like a kid that played a football manager.

[lizarder]

Gallagher is a graduate of Chelsea's own academy and as such, it would seem to make sense that Chelsea would keep him. But anyway, the fact is that Gallagher's contract will also expire in 2025 and thus, if this season Chelsea does not extend Gallagher's contract then maybe Gallagher will also be able to leave for free in 2025 later. But perhaps, about the absence of an agreement between Chelsea and Atletico, it seems that Atletico also still has to consider whether to bring Gallagher or maybe also choose Kante.

Because after all, the current rumors are that Atletico are also negotiating to bring in Kante. But at least, if I consider about age, then of course it would be better to bring in Gallagher, because Gallagher's age is also young compared to Kante who is approaching retirement age. At least, there is still time for them to reach an agreement, and anything can still happen for Atletico's success to bring in Gallagher or Kante or maybe not at all.

If they get a suitable offer, maybe Chelsea will let go, it's just that Atletico Madrid doesn't dare to take action for a purchase like this. When the contract ends, maybe Chelsea can apply for a new contract so that he doesn't leave for free and will make Chelsea disadvantageous. For Atletico Madrid, maybe for a player of his class, it is still quite high so they have to consider it or maybe they are looking at Kante as an option.

Talking about age, it might be true that recruiting Gallagher is much better than Kante, but if we talk about experience, it will be different in the short term. Because Kante has so much experience in dealing with pressure and he is much more prepared in everything. Of course age is not ideal for the long term so Atletico have to think long term and vice versa with Chelsea who are currently preparing for the season in the Premier League.

Chelsea has the money to sign Osimhen, had it been he is from Europe they wouldn't bargain the way trey are doing him right now but they are using Lukaku as bait and that's very unfair for Osimhen. African best player of 2023 is been treated like someone that is been force to stay but no matter what, I don't want him ridicule his career in Napoli, Chelsea need a player like him, someone that is ready to make the team win and that's the only way they can do well this season and aim for top spot in the table.

Transfer aside, I hope Alex still remember that this is going to be the third season Chelsea has made it's last appearance in the Champions League, if they don't make a come back this season then next season is going to be the fourth time with appearance in Champions League, they will be forgotten or possibly remembered for some thing the way Arsenal is facing right now.

Osimhen is a great striker and he has performed tirelessly earning him the price tag to which I think 80-100 million is fashionably cool. I agree that if he was from Europe and a European best player the sentiment would have driven his price high but that's entirely a discuss for another time. On the other hand, is Osimhen actually ready to come Chelsea or it's just his club Napoli that are frustrating other efforts to have him move to another club other than Chelsea? Because from all indications Antonio Conte wants Lukaku in his team and this is bound to be easily done with Osimhen move to Chelsea. More like an indirect swap with some reduced fee. To me such deal is purely a ridicule to an African best player and if that's the case Osimhen should reject it.

It is not about Osimhen being an African player that's causing the bargain. Each club want to do business in a manner that it won't be a burden to them in the future. Chelsea as a club are doing everything possible to cut down their wage bill. Since the American owners took over at Chelsea, you have seen how their transfer policies has been. They are bringing players that are not earning very high. Osimhen signed a new contract with Napoli before the start of last season and this made his wage to go up as well as his transfer fee. So Chelsea are just trying to find a way to see how they can make this deal happen in a way that it won't be a problem to them. I think there are other issues we don't know regarding Osimhen with Napoli, that's making clubs not to go for him. Sometimes i use to think that if it is only money that is the issue here, PSG wouldn't have pulled out of the deal to sign him, because PSG has money.

I would like to see Gallagher to stay in Chelsea than moving and Joao Felix appears to replace Gallagher. Joao Felix after a big transfer to Atletico Madrid, several seasons there and some loan transfers, so far has failed to show his ability at world class level. Premier League is a tough league where there are many physical fights that are not matched with physical strength of Joao Felix.

Chelsea will take very high risk to bet that Joao Felix will succeed with them in Premier League. Some seasons ago, they bet with Alvaro Morata and failed, Joao Felix is a similar case and Chelsea will need to look at recent seasons of the player, failed case of Morata to deeply think of this possible transfer.

I don't think so. There are definitely offers for Osimhen, but if the team doesn't find those offers sufficient, they have the right to reject them. I think Osimhen wants to go to Chelsea because he has said in the past that he wants to play in the Premier League. Now is the right time to make that wish come true. I think he will play for Chelsea.

Chelsea are a joke to be honest, why sell Gallagher, he’s one of their better players.
What’s the plan, sell Gallagher and bring in another random guy nobody has heard of who goes on to flop hard.
Feels like they have no clue what they are doing, just signing players like a kid playing a computer game.

After Chelsea's ownership transferred to Boehly, I felt that the actions that Chelsea always took did not make sense. Starting from changing coaches almost every season and also selling players who have excellent performance. So if it continues like this, I'm sure Chelsea will not experience significant progress, even though currently Chelsea seems to have a lot of money and is buying a lot of other players. However, as you said, if the players Chelsea buy are not of good quality it will certainly be a waste for Chelsea even though the players are expensive. The reason is that currently Chelsea has bought 8 new players to their squad. I also don't understand what Chelsea will do with that many players, because currently Chelsea already has more than 40 players in their squad.

Apart from that, talking about Gallagher, who is reportedly going to be sold by Chelsea in this transfer market, I am also confused about why Chelsea wants to sell him. However, as we know, Gallagher's performance at Chelsea was very good so it would be better for Chelsea not to sell the player. However, from the news that I know, the reason Chelsea will sell Gallagher is said to be because the squad that Chelsea has is very large. Therefore, Chelsea will sell Gallagher in this transfer market. However, in my opinion, this reason is not strong enough to sell Gallagher. Because if it is true that the reason is because there are too many Chelsea players, Chelsea should only sell players who are more worthy of being sold, and not sell Gallagher who has good performance. So in essence I also really don't understand the situation that is happening at Chelsea at the moment.

Even though I think the sale of Gallagher is a bit pointless, I'd like to also state that not every coach finds every player to be good. From our perspective, Gallagher was good, but that was under Pochettino. Maresca's style of play probably does not suit Gallagher and vice versa.

But Chelsea's transfer business so far has been an absolute joke. It's the third season of them trying to buy a shit ton of players who are not even proven. If they spent money by buying PL-proven players, it would have been understandable, but their business model is very confusing. They are giving players 8-9-year contracts for financial rules, but how is that a proper business? Chelsea is in shambles.

I don't think so. There are definitely offers for Osimhen, but if the team doesn't find those offers sufficient, they have the right to reject them. I think Osimhen wants to go to Chelsea because he has said in the past that he wants to play in the Premier League. Now is the right time to make that wish come true. I think he will play for Chelsea.

Let's see how the Osimhen rumors develop from now because the official season will start soon and we also need to see how much Chelsea wants to bring this player to the Premier League. In addition, Osimhen is also being targeted by other teams so Chelsea must be able to handle this more quickly and if Chelsea are very willing to let Lukaku go to another team like Napoli, I think it will look more like a player swap between Lukaku and Osimhen for both teams.
