Arsenal will indeed have a busy schedule and certainly more difficult this season. Because this time Arsenal will compete in the Champions League. Of course Arteta wants the club he trains to have really mature preparations. We know last season Arsenal really didn't have many good reserves. So that when their core players are injured, the club's performance immediately decreases and it gets even worse when it happens at the end of the season. Learning from the lack of preparation last season, of course the Arsenal club will choose to have more mature preparation this season. Including the goalkeeper. Because it looks like Arsenal also have quite high ambitions to be able to compete better in the Premier League and also in the Champions League. David Raya is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. So bringing in David Raya is indeed a pretty good choice.

Gakpo is finally playing what is expected of him and it is a good sign for Liverpool next season. Liverpool have been lucky to score an early goal in this their friendly game against Bayern before Bayern Munich found the opportunity to settle down. For Bayern, after finally finding their balance in the game, they created a very good chance to score but the header hit the post and the player could not put it at the back of the net with the rebound, so the game remains without a goal for Bayern even though they are now dominating the game. Bayern can possibly get a goal with the kind of pressure they are putting on the Liverpool defense, it is a good test for both teams.

I even agree with Arsenal decision to bring in David Raya, he is one of the best goalkeepers and by having 2 options Arsenal is more confident in strengthening the goal line. At the beginning of last season, David Raya was predicted to be a substitute goalkeeper for De Gea, but unfortunately, this did not continue to the serious level of Erik Ten Hag. So when I heard that Arsenal was interested in bringing him to The Gunner's headquarters, it was the right choice. In addition, Arsenal's increasingly busy schedule, including the Champions League, which certainly requires a skilled goalkeeper, David Raya is quite worthy as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale.

 Manchester united who seems like the least performing club and couldn't strike deals with their targets at the early stages of the transfer window have turned out to be one of the most successful clubs in getting most of their transfer target recently and they've had several youth team rising stars loan to several clubs across Europe and cleared some squad depth for new signings to come in, the recent player that arrived the club is Rasmus højlund a very young and talented Danish striker from Atlanta.
 He was part Erik Ten Hags strike Alternative to Harry Kane who was the most preferred player for the top 9 position, but the due the FFP rule that didn't permit United to spend more than £100m without offloading some players are also the fact that Tottenham chief Daniel Levy wasn't willing to lose their key man to another Premier league rival made Erik Ten Hag to switch his focus to the fast rising attacker, højlund, he arrived at England yesterday and is said to be having a medical with Manchester today, if a deal is finally completed his arrival would be very beneficial to the club because the striker position is one position  the coach needed to strengthen at all cost if he need to have a proper challenge for the upcoming season, they lacked force in that position with martial not really consistent due to his previous injury spells and Rashford deployed to the position most times but the presence of højlund would cause a lot different allowing Rashford to focus on playing in his preferred role from the flank.

I hope Liverpool are not slow to heat. This problem occurred last season, although there were indeed several core players injured. Liverpool's player transfers are not so good either. Nunez was expected to compete with Haaland but it failed. Today they had the opportunity to make some transfers but it seems the management didn't do that. Maybe they will rely on Gakpo who is starting to perform well and of course giving more minutes to Nunez

Actually it is not a problem from the clubs perspective, Arsenal would be absolutely delighted to have two brilliant goalkeepers, thus they'll know that whoever plays will perform excellently well. The problem is from the players' perspective, which of these goalkeepers would be happy being a makeshift player, Ramsdale is very good, and David Raya has been excellent for Bretford; i know competition for starting places helps to improve a team, but sometimes it can be too much for the manager and the players, and it will eventually lead to players leaving sooner rather than later because they are not happy with their game-time.

one hand chelsea in the last season there was no reshuffle of players which caused player saturation or it could be said that these players were bored with the formation of players and needed new players who could bring this team to improve performance so that the arrival of this new coach carried out a major overhaul and recruiting several new players with the aim of strengthening each line but even so that does not mean that the strategy used by Pochettino will guarantee a better future, its just that Pochettino is trying his best for Chelsea performance and lets see if this summer there will be an extraordinary increase usual at chelsea.

When it comes to feasibility, of course David Raya is very worthy. Because he is one of the goalkeepers who ever won the Golden Glove. And a personal agreement seems to have taken place between Arsenal and David Raya. And if David Raya finally continues his career at Arsenal. So I think this goalkeeper is very lucky. Because he continues to show good improvement in terms of his reputation as a reliable goalkeeper. The advantage possessed by David Raya is that apart from being reliable at holding back fast balls, he is also good at flowing passes. So it's not surprising that many want David Raya's services. Even in last season's transfer market, Tottenham were also eyeing the services of David Raya. And Bayern also made a bid to get the signature of this goalkeeper. But David Raya refused the offer.

But the problem that makes me curious is that Arsenal actually already have a good goalkeeper. But I'm quite surprised this club is suddenly after David Raya?

Coaches indeed have the task of crafting a team that aligns with their vision. The key, as you rightly stated, is not just selling players who dont fit the mold, but also identifying potential replacements. But are the replacements always accessible? Not necessarily. Managers like Pochettino, Ten Hag, Klopp, Arteta, and Guardiola might have an ideal list of recruits. Still, procuring these players can be a tough feat, especially when other clubs inflate player prices. Chelsea's approach has been noteworthy, shedding and acquiring players aggressively as per Pochettino's plans. The coming season will reveal the efficacy of their strategy, as well as the plans of other teams!

I think that raya shall choose bayern over arsenal but it will become the best decision for him to stay even longer in brentford. Arsenal and bayern are only using him as secondary goal keeper.
It will make him get less regular time to place compared when he was still staying in the brentford. Raya will able to play regularly as he was the main goal keeper in brentford. Moving out from brentford gonna be a blunder for him.
It's caused by arsenal was only looking for a replacement for matt turner who potentially leave from the club as soon as possible. Bayern was using him as a replacement for yannn sommer.


Aaron ramsdale has been performing so well last season. There's no need to sign a new goal keeper but arsenal may do that caused by the secondary keeper of the club consider leaving for the nottingham forest.

I don't know whether raya gonna feel happy to be used as secondary goal keeper or not.

Liverpool and Chelsea are both financially sound organisations with the capacity to restock their rosters. Despite Chelsea dismal season and lack of consistency in performance Pochettino may have trouble finding the money to sign new players. Liverpool on the other hand, displayed some consistency towards the conclusion of the year and plans to contend for the championship the following year. There is no doubt that Liverpool needs a stronger team to remain competitive against other elite teams. As he attempts to mould a new Chelsea team and produce successful outcomes to support future investments, Pochettino coaching abilities will be put to the test.

Chelsea's last season's poor performance was because of so many factors. They wasted close to $600m on the wrong players. The new owners thought that buying new players will give them the result they desired. Without proper planning they went on a buying spree, getting any player not considering the piece tag. They also got an averagely experienced coach Graham Potter to manage a club that was far bigger than his capacity. Selection became a problem and many key players like Mason Mount were left out of the first team. The club's performance began to dwindle and there was disaffection between the players, management, and coach.

But it seems the club has learned from its mistakes and is willing to make amends. The signing of Mauricio Pochettino is a step in the right direction. And he has helped to restructure the team by allowing many players that are not part of his plan to leave not minding how much they have cost the club. New players have been bought and their performance in the preseason has been encouraging. For the first time in a long while, we have seen Chelsea playing offensive football and getting some good goals.

Barcelona is really anxious to strengthen their team and reclaim their former dominance, but doing so will be quite challenging and may take some time. Despite their current financial struggles, they still want to add costly players who will demand big salaries rather than putting their attention on developing their academy players so they can enhance the squad or profit from their sale. Some players, like Lewandowski and Guundogan, only join Barcelona because they are passionate about the club.

It will be challenging for Guardiola to let Bernado go this early after losing gundogan to the same club few weeks ago because he was one of Guadiola's top players last season. If he decides to leave, it will be challenging to replace him at the moment, but I think Guadiola won't stop him if he wants to. Though it will be a major setback if Bernado also departs for Manchester City as they have already lost certain players without replacing them.

Would David Raya choose Arsenal while Bayern Munich are also interested? I don't think so. Because Raya is going to be the main goalkeeper for Bayern Munich if he goes there. But at Arsenal I don't think so while there is Ramsdale. Maybe Bayern Munich have Neuer as well but he isn't expected to be available for a longer time. Sommer is about to leave as well.

I don't think Arsenal need a goalkeeper signing now either. Because there are 2 goalkeepers in the substitutes too. If they sign Raya they will need to give him a good level of playing time to prevent a possible problem in the team.

Bernardo Silva actually already has a desire to leave Man City in this transfer market. Even a few weeks ago, Man City also allowed if there was a club that could provide an offer that matched what the club requested. And indeed there are already 3 clubs that want B. Silva. namely PSG, Al-Hilal and Barcelona. And in these 3 choices B.Silva wants to go to Barcelona to follow Gundogan. However, it turns out that Barcelona are not ready financially to redeem B.Silva from Man City.

But a few days ago I also heard that the Man City side conveyed their wishes to B.Silva that the club wants to maintain itself until next season. Because it seems true that Man City is having trouble getting players who can replace the figure of B.Silva who has become the most important player who is almost on the same level as Haaland on the front lines. But B.Silva's party in the news I read they are worried that in the next season B.Silva will not be able to get high offers like this season from other clubs. But B.Silva himself doesn't seem to mind if he has to last longer at Man City.

I personally also hope B.Silva doesn't go. Because for me just losing Mahrez and Gundogan is enough for this season. If Man City loses more then players I'm afraid this club will suffer a decline in the quality of play. Because the adaptation of new players will not be as good as the adaptation of old players.

I don't think, Arsenal really have any challenge in the area of goalkeeper last season because their keeper was the reason the team where able to end up in second position in the premier league competition. Based on the David Raya performance history, show that Arsenal current goalkeeper has a good record more than David Raya which is another advantage for Arsenal manager to give him another opportunity in this season to see his performance before they will now decide to bring in new goalkeeper. I believe, they will use that negotiation fee not to sign him in this summer because David Raya will not like to start with small amount of money than to start collecting amount the Arsenal goalkeeper is collecting from the management.

The main reason for Chelsea's poor performance last season was due to internal conflicts within the club. The club has changed ownership. They changed coaches. Due to these various reasons, the internal condition of the Chelsea club was messy. This has affected the performance of the players. The performance of the players was erratic. And the coach wasn't able to help. And so the Chelsea management is preparing long before the start of the season to improve the performance of the Chelsea team in the next season. They have appointed a new coach. We don't know yet if Coach Poch can succeed. Adding more experienced players to the attack will probably make Chelsea's performance more dynamic.

First and foremost, this topic belongs under the La Liga thread because it contains more information about Real Madrid. Perhaps that's not the point; Real Madrid has good players who can fill in for these key players stated above. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are growing older by the years, and their time at the Santiago Bernabeu is drawing to an end. Concerning the future, Aurélien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham are all talented players, with the main difficulty being their capacity to mature into displaying spectacular performances in all league games, they will develop, what they need is good buildup and time.

Bernado Silva can play at different positions and he is very adaptive, flexible with different tactics. Pep definitely needs Bernado Silva for Manchester City's tactical operations and I do not say he will not find solutions to replace Bernado Silva but surely he will have to deal with some difficulty to replace the player either just temporarily or permanently.

De Jong is midfielder with different skills than Bernado Silva and he has his style to play with too low intensity which does not match with Manchester City style. Bernado Silva can provide more direct attacking power for Manchester City and he can infiltrate into defense system of opponent while De Jong plays too far from opponent's box.

Valverde already had a solid position in Real Madrid and only Camavinga, Tchouameni will need to train more, play better to be matured and good enough to take over positions in midfield area of Real Madrid from Kroos and Modric. Camavinga looks good and he can replace Modric but I am not sure about Tchouameni who will need to work harder to prove himself.

It's not a matter whether the transfer window is still open or not, but suddenly changing the old midfielders with the new midfielders mostly will not work. It take time like 2-3 seasons to built up, the situation is similar like Real Madrid. Kroos, Modric and Casemiro were solid midfielders, but when Casemiro leaving and Modric get older, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde are the next generation who will replace them.

Currently only Valverde is really performing in Real Madrid, Tchouameni and Camavinga are still struggling.
