⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽

According to several newspapers, it is said that one of the reasons the club management still trusts Ten Hag to coach Manchester United is because Ten Hag will try to play young players from the academy and build a squad with a good basic foundation. There are many talented young players from the academy and if we look at Manchester United's current performance, I think there is no problem with giving young players from their academy the opportunity to join the United squad and this will add to their experience and their mentality to compete in the EPL.

If it is the reason to keep Ten Hag, it means Man United never wants to win EPL under Ten Hag management. They only want Ten Hag to build Man United future with young players now. This may be the reason why Ten Hag didn't extend the contract of main players such as Casemiro and Varane. Although those players contributed well for Man United, but they have no chance to play again with Man United. Does Ten Hag will replace the position left by Casemiro and Varane with the players from Man United academy?  

It is funny that Man United management cares with their young players from academy now. In the past, Man United easily sell their young players from academy, Pogba is one of the perfect example. Man United will be interested in the players when they are already successful in other clubs. You must remember that Man United buy again Pogba from Juventus with huge transfer fees. Even though Juventus bought him at a very cheap price.

Anyway, I hope Man United have no problem with their financial. I am a bit worried that Man United will experience the same way as Barcelona. I just know that Man United really cares with their academy player. I am afraid that Man United get difficulty to buy new players.

This might be part of what makes Manchester United board to actually stick to Ten Hag but we all know that’s not all, Dan Ashworth the new director made it clear that the reason why they extended Ten Hag’s contract was mainly because they see am as a successful manager in every club he has been to. He won two trophies for Manchester United since his arrival and that’s considered a very good achievement to the club considering their years of trophy droughts.

Concerning the club not prioritizing their academy players before I do thinks that’s not proper, Manchester United had a whole team filled with academy graduates who won treble then in 1999 and since then have gone to priorities younger players. Cases like Pogba are usually common in football,  promising talent might leave for more game time due to been frustrated sitting on the bench, and then goes to the other clubs and makes a name for himself. We can’t because of this reason say they are not good at managing their academy players.

Concerning the financial situation, I don’t think they will sink their ship like how Barcelona did theirs. Manchester United board have been in serious debts for years now and yet they have managed it so well and with the new Board directors their is going be a change in the teams policy to avoid bans, that’s why they are not going to splash money on players anyhow again

Selling Garnacho would be possible in the future, Amad Diallo likewise but Kobbie Mainoo? Knock it off already ( That's a Goddamn Manchester United legend ).

I hope they keep Garnacho for long years. He is taking Ronaldo as an example and he is really talented. I believe he is also the future of Manchester United.   

One day it would of course be possible to sell him just as they have done with Ronaldo. But it can be a record sale at the same time. He is only 20 and has many years ahead to improve his game much more. As for Mainoo he is also brilliant, a 19-year-old big talent. I always admire Manchester United youth setup. There have been so many talented players growing out of there.    These players deserve the attention a lot.

Yes, in fact it has become a problem within the Argentina national team, some see it as a lack of respect towards Messi that an Argentine takes CR7 as an example and not Messi, but I say that everyone has their own way of thinking, their idols and their role models to follow, I think that a player, as long as he is good and contributes to the team by scoring goals, for me that is enough, but of course sometimes the demands can be totally different from what one thinks, but Argentina has a great team, they can do whatever they want, they are the best team in South America so far, of course it seems to me that is the case.

Arsenal has agreed terms with Calafiori as far as I have heard. I think this would be a really good signing for them. They already like to sign young and skilled players and he is a good choice for that.

I mean especially on these days when Real Madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal. I assume it would be really difficult to convince Saliba not to sign for Real Madrid.    So they will need a good young defender to fill his place. Calafiori is only 22 and he is quite versatile. I mean in his career so far he played as centre-back and left-back nearly the same number of times. Arsenal can also use him on both positions according to the need.

A personal agreement between Arsenal and Calafiori has now been reached with a possible contract duration of 5 years with a salary of around 4 million euros, Calafiori current transfer will be largely determined by the continuation of talks between Arsenal and Bologna which reportedly not yet have an agreement about price, but even so, of course Of course, Calafiori's move to Arsenal is just a matter of time and I think 99% of Arsenal will be able to get him in the near future, Calafiori arrival will of course strengthen Arsenal defense to be better, but I hope that Calafiori recruitment will not be a replacement for saliba who is being targeted by Madrid at the moment, if saliba leaves of course Calafiori arrival will not have a good effect on Arsenal defense because in terms of quality and ability, I think Saliba is still better than Calafiori at the moment.

Even though I'm not an Arsenal fan, I see that Calafiori would be ideal if paired together and form a solid line in Arsenal's defense next season together, Ben White, Magalhaes, saliba and Calafiori, their are certainly worthy enough to be paired as Arsenal  final defense next season,I think Calafiori, who can also play as a left back, would be ideal and quite appropriate to replace the Kiwior position who is not yet capable enough to face the pressure from the opposing attackers.

I think it's time for Manchester United to trust their current academy players more who have good abilities, so that this will enable Manchester United to save money but still be able to form a strong team in the future, there are several talented young players from Manchester United who Currently, this could be a mainstay for Ten Hag next season, including giving Greenwood another opportunity to play again .

According to several newspapers, it is said that one of the reasons the club management still trusts Ten Hag to coach Manchester United is because Ten Hag will try to play young players from the academy and build a squad with a good basic foundation.

Man United and the coach's agent just need to finalize the existing additional agreements. Along with this agreement, Ten Hag also received positive changes in his coaching staff. Man United has prepared various forms of support so that the coach can be even better. In the last few days, Man United has reportedly been looking for new staff members. The Red Devils are currently negotiating with their former striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will later be assigned as Ten Hag's assistant. Man United also hopes that the latest steps can provide the best results for Ten Hag.

So far, Ten Hag has always been able to prevent Man United from fasting for a title for two consecutive seasons. However, the Red Devils are still unable to appear as main competitors in the Premier League. It is hoped that Ten Hag will change this condition when he handles Man United next season. After additions to the coaching staff, Man United must concentrate on improving the squad. It is hoped that the new players can solve the problems of the old squad and Man United can compete at an elite level.

It is nice to see Arsenal making a big effort to achieve bigger success in the Premier League. Arteta wants to keep a good squad quality for next season to fight for the league championship once again.

Finishing in the 2nd place for 2 seasons in a row is telling us a lot. They are getting better every season in terms of statistics as well. It is really difficult to handle Manchester City in this league. I totally agree with that. However it isn't impossible. Arsenal's main problem in these seasons was the same, not being able to have a good ending. They lead for a long time but can't bring its end.

I hope they make it next season.    I'm not satisfied with Manchester City's turning the league into their playground.

Building a squad that will eventually win the Premier League Competition takes time, I'm certain Erik Ten Hag will find himself and the club in a much better position than the one we saw last season but then, he'll need patience, it'll probably not happen next season but I expect him to qualify Manchester United for the Champions League Competition.

Having Ruud Van Nistelrooy a former Manchester United player and also legend who knows the standards and f the club is a great news I'm more than, happy because Erik Ten Hag has someone who the fans of Manchester United loves too, they'll have to work head to head to see that success of achieved.

I one time said the new owners are upgrades of the glazers but I was damn wrong as they're currently making huge and massive development for the club. Manchester United performing at a top level in the coming seasons is a must.  I have also seen talks of Casemiro making apologies to Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag and wanting to prove himself this season. I would love that because he has the experience finally.

Arsenal is on the right track and their must be able to maintain it in order to break the negative trend after the last 20 years without a prestigious championship trophy, Arteta, who has succeeded in forming and building the mentality that Arsenal currently has of course has the opportunity to make Arsenal better again next season, especially now that Arsenal have big ambitions to become champions and of course management provide huge support to Arteta to be able to do it, twice failing to finish as champions and only runners up of course indicates that Arsenal really has the ability better now and I think they have a bigger chance of doing even better next season.

Manchester City has managed to dominate the English league for 4 consecutive seasons so when they do it again next season, won't it be quite boring for us to see?
So far we have known the English league as the most competitive league compared to other leagues, but now Manchester City has managed to dominate the championship trophy and of course this is no different from other leagues that currently exist, that's why I hope that next season there will be another team who is able to break Manchester City dominance in the league, whether it is Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United.

It seems, if Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City it is very likely that the Premier League will become more interesting because the competition will be more competitive and will make other teams to win trophies. But, as long as Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City then it seems very likely for Manchester City to be able to defend the Premier League title from season to season. What's more, Liverpool also has a new coach and that might make Liverpool also still not strong enough to be able to compete in the title race next season. Thus, it is very possible for Arsenal to be able to compete strongly again in the title race next season but indeed, to thwart the dominance of Manchester City is a difficult task. But even so, of course Arsenal still have a chance to get the trophy, I personally believe Arteta will be able to do it.

[Velvet78]

There is a chance for that in 1-2 years. Guardiola has been giving some signals from time to time. He won't manage Manchester City forever in the end. The whole team is built according to his system as well.

Which is really the most interesting point to me... Because when he leaves Manchester City, the team will need to find a manager who can fill his place and maintain the same system. It would be a high-cost thing to tear down all the things Guardiola has built here so far. I don't think the board would want to do such thing either. Therefore I feel like Arteta will be offered the job in case Guardiola leaves. I believe he is the best fit for such duty.

I also have this feeling that once there is no Pep in Manchester City, the club will likely fall out not undermining his successor. Pep is the actual reason why the club is recording as much success as of today, his departure from the team will be tragic in a way, most of the players will likely want to leave, with the new coach coming trying to reshuffle according to his own pattern which will bring distraction to their potential aswell affecting their expected achievements.

Arsenal has a lot to offer and if they should continue like this I believe time shall come when they will be topping the league just the way Manchester City is leading.

What Guardiola has built will certainly be a legacy that is easy to continue because this team is full of great and talented players. Of course whoever replaces Guardiola will of course maintain what is there and just have to continue, it's not that easy for a team that has won. The EPL four times in a row will just collapse when Guardiola leaves, you might find it interesting because there are no great coaches in the EPL where there will be matches that are balanced and not too complicated so that Manchester City doesn't completely dominate anymore.

for example, after Klopp left the EPL and if Guardiola did so, it would seem that the EPL would not be that interesting without there being more intense competition. but whatever it is, Manchester City will of course keep Guardiola until they really find a replacement. Moreover, it is impossible for Ateta to replace Guardiola at Manchester City but he will focus on bringing Arsenal to win the EPL which he often failed to achieve.

Arsenal has agreed terms with Calafiori as far as I have heard. I think this would be a really good signing for them. They already like to sign young and skilled players and he is a good choice for that.

I mean especially on these days when Real Madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal. I assume it would be really difficult to convince Saliba not to sign for Real Madrid.    So they will need a good young defender to fill his place. Calafiori is only 22 and he is quite versatile. I mean in his career so far he played as centre-back and left-back nearly the same number of times. Arsenal can also use him on both positions according to the need. 

I don't think it been formal proposal yet for Calafiori but for sure Arsenal are already making movement in closing a contract to get Calafiori and we actually need to sign in new players. If we are able to sign in new players that way our chances will increase from winning second always to winning the EPL it self. That is exactly how its suppose to be signing in New players will strengthen the performance of that club. When it comes to decisions making i always trust arteta to make them and bringing Calafiori is a good choice at some point I was wondering if we are going to sign or not because if we don't sign their is no way we won't fall behind.

If not that Madrid is greedy they should not be fighting for Saliba from us since they have gotten Mbappe they should focus on him they should go for other players and leve Saliba for us. If after acquiring we still need to place him to play center back for us because we need all the performance we can get now because this time should be different, we need to shift in position. And that is the only way we can win the epl this season.

I am pretty sure that Mikel Arteta would want to win it before Pep leaves, it would be more satisfying to beat Pep to the EPL title, if Pep leaves before another manager wins the EPL again, then it it somewhat shameful, the goal for other top managers in the Premier League is to beat Pep to the title.

Having said that, i think Pep has one more year left on his contract, so that is a worry for Manchester City if he does not extend his contract, and it is likely that he won't, i don't think they have a replacement yet and if Guardiola leaves, they might lose their dominance on English football.

Why would Mikel Arteta win it to impress Pep Guardiola or what? If he has to win the Premier League Competition to impress Josep Pep Guardiola or try to prove a point, then he is obviously doing it wrongly. The goal Is not to beat Josep Pep Guardiola, it's to win the Premier League Competition for the club, for himself and also for the fans who has supported and backed him up over the last two seasons of failure.

Josep Pep Guardiola has won it all for Manchester City, it's good to see that be he'll be remember as one of the greatest managers in the history of the Premier League Competition. I wanted saying Roberto De Zebri could be his replacement, bit that's obviously far from happening.
Erik Ten Hag could also be in like to win the Premier League Competition in tue next two seasons ahead.

Arsenal has agreed terms with Calafiori as far as I have heard. I think this would be a really good signing for them. They already like to sign young and skilled players and he is a good choice for that.

Arteta and Arsenal management are always after young promising players that can serve the team for more than five years that is why they go for Calafiori because they know how difficult the Premier League used to be, so it is better to have a strong backup and a player that can play in other competitions because we cannot keep using one player for several competitions because injuries might come and will be a big draw back to the team.
Calafiori will be a backup for Saliba and Gebriel, he can also play left back when either Zinchanko or Tomiyasu is not fit to play. So it will be a good signing if Arsenal could achieve that.

I mean especially on these days when Real Madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal. I assume it would be really difficult to convince Saliba not to sign for Real Madrid.    So they will need a good young defender to fill his place. Calafiori is only 22 and he is quite versatile. I mean in his career so far he played as centre-back and left-back nearly the same number of times. Arsenal can also use him on both positions according to the need. 

Arsenal started to bid for Calafiori before Madrid come for Saliba. Although just as you said, it will be difficult to convince Saliba not to join Madrid because Madrid is a dream team for almost all young players, but I don’t think it will be good for Saliba at this age because only midfielders and attackers get hyped for Real Madrid, their defenders are not been hyped which we have seen scenarios on Alaba, Rudiger and others. If you a young defender like Saliba, I will advise Saliba to stay with Arsenal to develop himself more.

It is nice to see Arsenal making a big effort to achieve bigger success in the Premier League. Arteta wants to keep a good squad quality for next season to fight for the league championship once again.

Arsenal's performances have been really good recently. They have been struggling to win the Premier League title in the last two seasons, but they have been failing. They do end up ending the season in second place, so next season is another season in which they are going to try their luck if they will be able achieve their aim. Arsenal has a very good squad, and they will still try their best next season to win the league title, but Manchester City will also want to win it, which we know isn't really going to be easy for both clubs. I know it’s too early to conclude on the club that will be winning the league title, but Manchester City should be able to win it once again.

It has to be said that Arsenal did better last season than Arsenal did last season. Last season Arsenal finished second in the points table but failed to give a tough competition to Manchester City but last season we saw Arsenal fight Manchester City till the last match and in the last match they lost the title to Manchester City. As much as they have improved between these two seasons, if they can maintain this consistency next season, maybe their dream of winning the English Premier League title will come true. Manchester City are still favourites, as I don't see any other Premier League side strengthening their squad this season, but if Arsenal can't improve their performance, Manchester City could be champions again.

Arsenal is quite consistent in my opinion, Arteta really keeps Arsenal's reputation very well, yes even though he hasn't won the English premier league, but in my opinion Arteta is really very good and good so far, he just needs time to see the opportunities that might result from Manchester City's unfocusedness or Guardiola's men, because they are the wall to make the Gunners win the English premier league.

We don't know how Man City can win again or not next season, because the last two seasons Arsenal and Man City have been very close together and very thin points difference, that's what makes me think doubtful that man city can experience victory again next season, seeing Arteta's consistency continue to be in second place it proves that Arsenal cannot be underestimated by Man City, I thought of some problems that might occur in Man City that could affect the game, like before when KDB got injured and Man City experienced a setback for some time, and that could be an opportunity for competitors like Arsenal to utilize it well.
