Before Antonio Conte was appointed as Napoli coach, I was very sure that Napoli would lose important players such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen because these players almost gave up on the policies that Napoli had and finally the arrival of this reliable coach made all the players more confident and even ask to extend the contract.
This confidence comes because Kvaratskhelia is very confident that his career will be brilliant with this great coach. .

From the media I am currently reading, the Napoli owner wants to include a release clause worth 130 million euros.
It looks like there was an increase previously from 100 million to 130 million.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree Arsenal defense is strong with Tomiyasu and Jurim Timber. Ben White, Saliba, and Gabriel worked well together last season. But midfield needs attention. If Thomas Partey leaves or gets hurt they need good replacement. Fabio Vierra can play in different positions, which is helpful. Arsenal also needs a striker who can score many goals 25 in the Premier League. If they get that, they have a good chance of winning the title next season.

Things have changed at Napoli since Antonio Conte joined. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia played well and big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG wanted him. It seemed like he would leave Napoli but Conte wants him to stay. This might be bad news for PSG but it shows Conte plans for Napoli. If Conte can keep Kvaratskhelia it would be great for the team and a big statement for next season.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the player of Napoli, has had a good performance so far in the game he played for the national team but now it seems Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is very close to leaving Napoli as he said before he is not going to keep playing in Napoli anymore and he was even linked to teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and now PSG.
But it seems now after Conte joined Napoli he wants to have Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Napoli for his team and he made it clear that he won't let Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leave at all, this can be bad news for PSG as they were about to hire this player.

   

You are right about the budget they pay for transfers in Chelsea and Manchester United but the fact about these two teams is they can't get good results even after spending this huge amount of money and that is definitely not good for a team like Chelsea or Manchester United to be in this situation. However, I think Chelsea got better situation because they got some younger players thanks to their former coach.
While now we all know these two teams will again spend too much money on the new players and there is no guarantee to get good results at all.

They don't need a new defender right now, maybe when Zinchenko or Tierney leaves bit right now? Tomiyasu and Jurim Timber are good options. Having said that, I do think they had the best defense in the Premier League Competition last season as they did dominated nicely with the partnership of Ben White, Saliba and also Gabriel.

For the midfielder's, they need a replacement for Thomas Partey whether he leaves or stays, Arsenal cannot make much mistakes with letting him go when they have got no good replacement for him. They should also make good use of Fabio Vierra he is a good midfielder and can also be used on the right wing in the absence of Saka.

They should be seriously looking to sign a player who can give them 25 Premier League Competition goals. If they can get that, winning the Premier League Competition next season is a must.

I am not here to compare trophies, I will take out the carabao trophy because I don’t necessarily know how it’s winning bonuses are shared but as for the other trophy FA Cup it is definitely a prestigious trophy. It is the oldest tournament in world football currently. The bonuses or winning price for the FA CUP is said to be even bigger than than the winning bonuses of the UEFA Europa league. So in terms of the budget even if they can’t get the money back like the other big trophies will give them certainly winning the FA cup is an achievement too.

The new Manchester United board had to stick Erik Ten Hag because he is certainly the best with when compared to the current available managers, people do not give him any credit at least for securing two trophies in two successful seasons. I personally believe that if united board as at today decides to back him with the right signings he would deliver

The problem with Mou is actually quite simple because when he is able to adapt to Modern football, he will definitely return to the prime he once made but until now the performance of Mou is still very standard and it is difficult to return to that time because the scheme he has always done is not as strong as the modern football scheme that is happening today.

Mou always makes a momentum with a quick counterattack and when superior they park the bus which actually seems like a normal thing to do especially for big clubs.
This scheme is actually not bad, it's just that if we look at the differences in football today which are increasingly modern then indeed Mou's scheme like this will not look special.
It cannot be denied that with this scheme Mou won several trophies at several clubs and he was even dubbed "The Special One", it's just that it was back then when his prime was still there but for now it seems to have disappeared.

This is not as easy as turning your palm because after all, seeing the condition of these two teams, in my opinion, they are still very complicated if they really want to develop rapidly in the EPL competition next season.
Not intending to belittle but with Chelsea's current condition they indirectly return to their initial suit where the new coach needs adaptation not to mention we can't see any achievements that Enzo brought before so it will be very natural if in the end the beginning of this season the pressure will be greater because of the uncertainty of the new coach.

For Manchester United there is also currently no response whatsoever regarding Ten Hag's future whether it will indeed be replaced or stay but certainly all decisions clearly have risks that they must face.
Letting Ten Hag stay means they have to prepare for the worst possibilities from within because if you look at the conditions that have occurred in several seasons of Ten Hag's management there is always a situation where the players are at odds with the coach. So by looking at this Manchester United must be prepared for the possibilities that occur.
In addition, this also applies to the new coach because if Manchester United sack Ten Hag and replace him with a new coach then the conditions will be no different from the case Chelsea will face next season.

Indeed it is hard to tell whether the move they have made is smart or not. There have been so many players Chelsea signed and turned into star players later on (no matter it happened at Chelsea or a different team).    There isn't such thing like every transfer move will be successful. Even the best teams at this job have transfers that turned out to be a huge disappointment.

I hope Estêvão also becomes a star player in the future. I assume Neymar isn't praising him for nothing.    But the media shouldn't give these youngsters a hard time in a short time. They are just going to turn 18, they need time to sharpen their skills.

Man United and Chelsea have spent quite large transfer budgets in the last two seasons, but both have failed to achieve their expected targets. In general, the depth of the squad and the genius of the manager are the most important factors in winning trophies, Man United and Chelsea do not have good luck in that regard. So it is not surprising that the two elite Premier League teams appear to be experiencing an unstable season, suffering from ups and downs in performance, and often losing to mediocre clubs. Like last season, Ten Hag and Pochettino were also faced with a storm of injuries.

Besides that, I don't think the FA Cup or Carabao Cup trophies are worth the budget they spend, however these trophies can be entertainment for fans at the end of the season. Chelsea under Pochettino control has developed in a better direction, but unfortunately the management decided to fire him. Ten Hag is fortunate to still be retained by club officials, even though Man United performance has actually declined. Meanwhile, under the control of the new owners, the two elite Premier League teams have not achieved impressive success, we do not yet know how they will perform next season.

2012 is the last time Man United was able to win the English Premier League title and that was a decade ago. I actually didn't realize that this was so long ago. Manchester United has made so many bullshit decisions since then. Wasted a lot of money as well. So many players have not performed as well as they should. The coaches that they have brought in also did not bring in as good of a result as they should have. Even now, the results that Ten Hag is being able to bring are not very good. How will this get fixed? I say get rid of the owners they have right now, the Glazers. They have made the club only a way of earning money, not winning trophies.

Chelsea has faced a lot of problems recently. Also of course they are also not bringing good results as well. Maybe a lot of people think that it's okay since they have actually performed well towards the end. However, they were not able to achieve European League position though. They would have if United didn't win the FA cup but that's another story.

I would say that they are doing this for the future, but I am not sure if it's smart or not, we have to wait and see. Chelsea has made it their mission to get young and talented players and they are willing to spend way too much money on them. They already have over ten players who worth 30+ million dollars and under 30 years old, and 5 of them who are over 50+ million as well. They are now getting a few more this season as we can see, and I feel like that is going to be a system for a long time.

Doesn't mean that they are going to make a lot of profit from them, doesn't even mean they will win, but the goal is to make these players play together and win together. Will it work? I hope so for their sake, but I am not entirely sure.

Niketiah is a striker who has speed and also the ability to score goals, but sometimes his selfish nature in scoring goals actually becomes a Boomerang for himself, so far we can see if Niketiah often becomes an Arsenal hero when Arsenal is at an impasse in scoring with their main striker, Arsenal will of course price Niketiah at a high price because he is indeed a talented and experienced player,   Although it does have an expensive price, I think there will be teams interested in recruiting him because indeed he can be a solution for mid-table clubs later.

Niketiah has recorded 38 goals from his 168 appearances with Arsenal, maybe the number of goals is not in accordance with the price set by Arsenal at the moment, but if we look at the number of goals he created the majority when he played as a substitute, so indeed it makes him worthy of being considered one of the good strikers today, I think if there is a club that gives him one main place consistently, of course he can continue to develop and can become a great striker in the future.

Both team between Chelsea and Manchester United have similar side from as the much money spending for signing new players until their achievement in last two season get failure in domestic league performance.
One thing difference with Chelsea has bad habit sacked and appointed new manager every season, Manchester United had bad performance in domestic but success winning FA Cup trophy in this season and difference with Chelsea performance not only failure reach the top fourth standings but also can't winning one trophy yet in last two season.

After leaving by Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United never winning domestic league yet and its happening almost eleven consecutives season how difficult for United become the winner although replacement by several manager.

If you just look at their achievements in the Premier League in the last few seasons, both Man United and Chelsea are not that different but, from a broader perspective, the two are clearly different. In the last 2 years, Chelsea has always had a new coach every season and these two coaches have not been able to present any trophies at all, and for next season they also change coaches once again. While Man United is still being managed by the same coach and this person managed to present 2 trophies.

It seems that Man United is starting to consider the potential that history could repeat itself, and they are willing to compromise with a process that cannot just be achieved instantly (it even took 6 years for Alex Ferguson to get his first Premier League trophy with Man United).

Well, Kross is a person who thinks a lot about everything, and he steps aside to give other players, the younger ones, the opportunity to play, it's something that speaks very well of him, it's also something that we see but little understand, I think the main reason why he stopped playing football at club level is because he wants to spend more time with his family, and at Madrid sometimes he had to take charter flights to see his family, with respect to the midfield, for me Kross and Modric are always the most likely options, Ancelotti has to think of other options, I don't know now if there will be problems to place Bellingham and Mbappé, since both like to go as forwards, unless he changes two forwards at Madrid, but it does not mean changing his entire strategic format.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea had a similar kind of season. Of course, it might look like Chelsea had a very good season because of the last few matches that they have played. Because in the last few matches, Chelsea was able to perform well. That’s why they have actually been able to finish two words pretty decent position. United was not even able to do that. The only thing they have done is the FA Cup. And that also happened because Manchester City made some horrible mistakes.


Anyway Manchester United and Chelsea have to improve a lot in the upcoming season. I have seen some people say that the performance from Chelsea was going to improve with Mauricio Pochettino, but I really had doubts about that. Now Enzo Maresca has come, let's see how much he is able to do in Stamford Bridge.


José Mourinho is probably going to stay out of the limelight for a little. But he is definitely going to come back and manage a big club as soon as he feels ready.

I think they are over doing it signing too many youngsters is not the solution to their problems because most of them will not be able to make it to the first team while others will be sent out on loan so that’s why i think it’s a waste of money.

No doubt they are good players but why don’t they focus on signing players that will be of great benefit to them next season because clearly they are struggling and need to improve as soon as possible. They will probably sign another young striker that will probably sit on the bench for Jackson and then they will be stuck with Jackson. Ehy not just sign a very good striker like Manchester City did signing Haaland, well, it’s their problem so they can do whatever they please.

It's quite a fair price for him. He is an Arsenal striker with good experience. Playing for teams like Aston Villa, Cryptal Palace and Everton will be worth it.


If you have watched Arsenal matches more often then you would know that you are mistaken. Eddie has only been given chance to play when Gabriel Jesus is not available. Meanwhile, he scored more goals even coming in during the second half last season than Arsenal so called striker Gabriel Jesus who played more matches than Eddie Nketiah in the last Premier League season. Eddie is what the price that was placed on his head, and you will be surprised that they will come for him even with such an amount.

From what I got from my little research about this young player he is skilful in dribbling and has a fast pace which will be a threat to many defenders.  But I think paying £ 51 million for the seventeen-year-old Estevao Willian is such a big risk. Neymar's approval of the player doesn't mean that he would succeed in the Premier League. There have been some young players that have been hyped or tipped to be successful in big leagues but they ended up disappointing. But if the coach is fortune that' this young player grows to become one of the best in the world they will end up making a big profit if they want to sell them to another club in the future. There is risk in all businesses including football. Such young player needs to be under a good coach that will give them the opportunity to grow. Just hoping that Enzo Maresca will be able to harness the talent that is in the young Brazilian winger.
