Fearless predictions

QuincyAbeyie

The fact that PIF owns several of the clubs in the same league ruins all sense of competition as well.

They're basically choosing which of the clubs should do well and not.

Pepe LeFrits

Premier League winners: City
Top 4 finishers: City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United
Position: 2
Champions League winners: Real
Our player of the season: Odegaard

Top creative (xA): Odegaard

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Does Liverpool signing Caicdeo change your mind about Arsenal finishing position especially those that predicted we will finish 1st/2nd?

Qwiss

I think we are still better than Liverpool but it definitely makes them a lot stronger. Its a whole new midfield though and I think it might take some time to settle.

Clrnc

Qwiss Good thing Caicedo don't want to go to Liverpool now

Qwiss

Clrnc yep, if he goes to Chelsea Liverpool still have a huge midfield problem. Chelsea get stronger but not enough to bother us unless we collapse. I'd worry about Liverpool with Caicedo way more.

Qwiss

Another prediction, Burnley top half.

I think I’ll give you folks until end of the window. I’m not actually sure what I’m seeing with Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle. And the Caicedo and potential Paqueta moves will have a big impact on what eventually happens

Qwiss

Claudius I’m not actually sure what I’m seeing with Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle.

So far I'm seeing mostly what I expected, though Liverpool look worse than I thought, if they get a DM that might change.

Clrnc

Qwiss They are left with Kephren Thuram from their initial targets. Intrigued to see who they go for now that both Lavia and Caicedo is gone.

This year top 4 battle will be crazily close. Don't rule out Brighton too

I'm changing my prediction to Newcastle if we sell them Tierney. He's perfect for their football and a huge upgrade on Burns.

Bernard Woolley

Clrnc Isn't the latest rumour that Liverpool have agreed a 60M deal for Lavia with Southampton?

Pepe LeFrits

HomeSteak shouldn't be a hard sell unless Lavia is also insane

QuincyAbeyie

Pepe LeFrits not sure why going to Chelsea instead of Liverpool was insane for Caicedo?

flobaba

QuincyAbeyie more stable leadership structure, better coaching pedigree, better club recent history, Liverpool is farther along in rebuilding process.

Why would you choose Chelsea?

Qwiss

It'd be very funny if Lavia chose Chelsea as well.

JazzG

Qwiss It is shocking how far Liverpool have fallen, basically arguing over £5m for Lavia and now having to pay an additional £15m to get him. A good chance he turns them down as well because they supposedly promised him they'd make it happen and went for Caicedo.

This was one of the best run clubs in Europe a few years back, the owners have been slacking and with Martin Edwards leaving all over the place now. Rumours Klopp might be one of the reasons Edward left, supposedly wants more influence on transfers.

Clrnc

JazzG it's insane. Irrational market. Even when it's a one horse race like Caicedo and Rice where the player refuses to go anywhere than the desired club you have to pay extra. Doesn't make sense

QuincyAbeyie

flobaba i don't think they are farther along in the rebuilding process. I think Chelsea have a higher chance of future success than Liverpool, mostly due to having more money to throw around.

flobaba

QuincyAbeyie money to throw around doesn't necessarily correlate to success if the right (vision, support, drive) management / ownership isn't in place.

What is Boehly's vision? How does he plan to execute? These questions have no answer at the moment apart from I'm signing every 100million player in sight, and avoiding FFP penalties. Player development doesn't really happen at Chelsea either.

I would stay away from them until the vision/ plan begins to make sense.
