⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

[Joca97]

I'm getting hyped about the Leicester - Manchester City game next week. I expect a really nice competition between them but of course Manchester City seem far better now. And they are very likely to win this by at least 2 goals I believe. However, Leicester beat them 1-0 in the Community Shield game. But maybe City didn't care about the game too much. We will see their real performance in this game. Leicester have dangerous players like Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans for example. They can score also but my score prediction is 1-3.

Leicester maybe won last time and won the community shield but how Man City currently plays i think they will dominate the entire match and win it. I think that City just cannot be stopped this season with how good they play. But Leicester has a team thats been togheter for a long time and know how to play this big games so it will be fun to watch.

I have love three teams in the premier league now,and they are Leicester City,Mancity and Chelsea.Those three teams are the best team in the Premier league to me now.Leicester City is so complete.
Mancity are complete as well,and Chelsea have really impressed ever since Tuchel joined the club to take over from  Frank Lampard who is like Arteta now at Arsenal.

Talking about Mancity against Leicester,I see a very tough encounter there,and if I were to predict, I will go for  a goal goal match,because I think the both fronts aren sharp,Vardy is always there to put the goals at the back of the net whenever he has the chances.I see a draw in that match.

Leicester wasn't that convincing so far and seriously, apart from the first game Manchester City seems to be back on track obviously!

10 - 0 goals the last two games, if they can keep their level of gameplay, there is no way for Leicester to do anything against them.

Was a deal ever agreed between Manchester City and Ronaldo? I think it was all hype because he would not be able to make the switch from the red to blue of Manchester. Regardless, he has ended up at Manchester United again and the team will be challenging for the Champions League and the Premier League alongside Chelsea and Manchester City.

Ronaldo wasn’t going to City anyway cos the club was not willing to pay the 25m EUR, or is it GBP transfer fee.  City wanted to acquire him on a free transfer since City has this policy not to spend on older players.  But he would’ve been an awesome signing for City...  City hasn’t had a 20+ goal goal scorer since Aguero 2018/19.

I'm not sure on the specifics other than Ronaldo had agreed a contract with Manchester City, but the transfer fee was getting in the way. Though, that's probably Juventus playing hard ball because they know how much money Manchester City have at their disposal.

That Aguero in 2018/19 was also injured for a big period of that season I believe. A proper striker could absolutely dominate, but for some reason they haven't been able to sign one. I thought despite how good Aguero was, he needed replacing a long time ago due to his frequent injuries.

The English league may be very competitive this year. The midfielders and forwards of the teams are very good. My favorite in this league is Manchester City. After a long time, he can achieve the success he seeks this year.

The title race will be interesting this season

His agent did contact Manchester City first, but they couldn't agree on fees because the Citizens were so confident they were the only ones interested. Well, I'm glad Manchester United came in for him at the right time to give them an advantage over other teams; he's still playing at his best, which is an upgrade over the current team, but I'm still wary of United's DM options.

It wasn’t hype.  They were talking and City really wanted to have him.  But then no one would budge over the 25m transfer fee.

Overall it’s still good for City to maintain their wage bill and so they can bid for Haaland or maybe Kane again next summer..  Pretty sure a lot of people will be so annoyed when Pep signs either of them.  Lol.

EPL is perhaps the most competitive league of all but you are right. This year I believe it would be a great season. As far though which team will get the crown, well, I don't want to disappoint you but there are at least 3 teams that have very good chances besides Man City. Chelsea, Liverpool, and of course Man Utd. It's too early for all so, let's wait to see how they will go.

I think Manchester United saved manchester City because the wage required to sign Ronaldo would have meant they would have needed to sell before they could bid for Kane or Haaland. Manchester United swooping in to steal the transfer might be their downfall and the entire league next year if Manchester City make a move for Kane or Haaland. I think it will be Haaland because he will be playing for longer than Kane because of his age and I think he suits Manchester City the most. They need a striker that can run in behind and make space against teams that sit back I think Haaland is more effective than that than Kane.

[Saidasun]

No club would go in for Halaand he will end up joining Bayern Munich in the next 2-3 years for a little compared to his current price and wages right now. He agent is very greedy you could see how much they demanded from Chelsea, Halaand cannot earn £800k/week, he is very talented but I don't think he is leaving up to the hype.

Every top team in the Premier League & La Liga are looking to buy him. Teams will be able to offer more in wages and bonuses when his transfer release clause is lowered next year. Why would Dortmund sell to a league rival Bayern when Bayern do not have the spending power compared to Manchester City and PSG. Manchester City is one of the richest teams in the world and you think Bayern will compete with them? I do not think so.

Didn't Pep already announce that he is not going to extend his contract and leave Manchester City the coming season?

Anyway, I don't know if the wage bill really matters that much for Manchester City. So far we haven't really seen any severe penalties against any of the clubs that went far beyond the financial fair play requirements. Even when City was fined last time part of the judgment was revoked.

Manchester City have faced low level teams and Arsenal recently. Leicester is a lot better than the current Arsenal team and Leicester beat Manchester City in the cup before the Premier League started. Leicester going against Manchester City have a good record and would be the best bet to place because the odds will be in favor of Manchester City by a big amount. I watched the community shield game and Manchester City did care a lot about the match with a lot of their players being visibly frustrated with Leicester.  I wish we stopped pretending that Manchester City is a team that can beat anyone easily. The Premier League is the most competitive league in the world and while Manchester City on their best day are the best in the world Leicester have proven that they can beat them and frustrate those Manchester City players.

Leicester are going to be a much serious challenge for Manchester City actually. However, Manchester City are still highly the favourite side of course. I think that Manchester City will apply their classical game plan and dominate the match. Leicester might have to play a little defensive against them. But still, it wouldn't be enough for an opponent like this. Maybe one of the Tielemans-Maddison-Vardy trio can score a goal in this match but in the end, City should be able to win with at least 2-goal difference I think.

It would be easier for me to agree with you if Manchester City did not win the last two games with 10 - 0 goals. That is quite the message to the rest of the league. On a good and lucky day almost any team can beat City with a close result, but if City plays its best I don't see Leicester having a realistic chance. Maybe the break for international games now plays a bit more into Leicester's cards as the City train was just picking up full steam.

Most teams will avoid the risk of signing Haaland, sure he is prolific in the Bundesliga but will he cut it in the Premier League? If there ever was a greedy football agent with a reputation for being a pain it has to be the one employed by Haaland, Pogba and a whole host of others.

If Manchester City do end up signing Haaland it will not necessarily pay dividends for them but he certainly seems like he will have a fantastic career. Guardiola would be a good manager for him to learn from so it could be a good fit.

More like United saved City from the boos.  Lol.  Ronaldo would somewhat  be an unpopular signing.  Lots of supporters will be hurt.  And I don’t think it would be United’s downfall.  If anything, I think Ronaldo is a boost for their campaign.

Yeah after failing to sign Kane, I think they’re going for Haaland next summer.  BVB should sell by then.

The desire to bring ronaldo to manchester city was the last option that was carried out by pep guardiola in the transfer market because it failed to get halland, in my opinion if manchester city from the beginning of the transfer market had approached ronaldo of course the result would probably be different from what is happening now, We know from the start of the transfer market, Manchester United had no intention of signing Ronaldo, thus giving Manchester City more time to get Ronaldo's signature because from the start Manchester United only focused on getting Sancho.

As long as Minola is his agent, Haaland will never be able to play for any club of his choosing because everything revolves around his agent. He only cares about the money he makes, and he doesn't care where you end up. I believe that was the reason Lukaku fired him; Pogba and Haaland should've been at PSG and Chelsea, respectively, if not for his agent's outrageous player and agent fees. Pep isn't a big admirer of Haaland, but he still prefers Kane, who is one of the finest players in the league. Bringing in Haaland is purely speculative; he may or may not perform as predicted in the EPL.

Bro Manchester City never pursued Haaland because of the Chelsea and Haaland drama. Pep's top priority prior to the start of the transfer was Lukaku, as he is a big fan of the Belgium striker, but Inter Milan's earlier statement that "Lukaku is untouchable" forced Mancity to return to Kane.

I don’t think Halland is coming to premier league next season, because Bayern have already declared their interest in him hence he’ll not be making the switch. Also Kane would have been an fantastic addition to City, but they’ll have to try next year and I’m sure this time round they’ll get him.

Here’s a little tidbit I’d like to share for the Brentford vs Brighton match up.  The owner of Brentford, Matthew Benham, used to be a protege of Brighton’s owner, Tony Bloom.  These guys are reaally interesting characters in the gambling world and used to run a sports betting business together raking in millions before they had a falling out. 

So it’s bragging rights for the owner of the team that wins this match.
