It must be admitted that the success achieved by Manchester City last season and in previous seasons cannot be separated from the genius of Pep Guardiola. He managed to shape the Manchester City squad into a winning mentality team, what Manchester City achieved last season could never be done by a coach who has handled Manchester City.
Now Manchester City is well formed, they have managed to show extraordinary performances that always win trophies every season. Guardiola departure will not greatly affect Manchester City performance, as long as the squad left by Guardiola is cared for by the right people it will not affect Manchester City performance.

Definitely going to be something to see, there are too many teams that end up with a good team this season and we are going to see a lot of teams fight for the title but more importantly the top four teams will be the most important part. We have a lot more than 4 teams who wants to be there and it is going to be hard to achieve.

City, Arsenal are both great and will fight for a title without a doubt, there is Newcastle and United that will come behind them, Chelsea is spending money once again, Liverpool wants to go back to their old self and Spurs are fighting to get Kane a club for a lot of money so they can build a better team. All in all top four will be a tough one, I can see at least 6-7 teams that want to squeeze in there.

It is possible that he will leave before his contract expires in June 2025, I think the best step for him is to coach the Spanish national team. If there is no further option, Pep could train one of the Italian Serie A clubs, or take a short break, as he did before coaching Bayern Munchen. What is certain is that there are many possibilities in the stages of his career, because all football connoisseurs have recognized him as the best coach at the moment.

There must be many big clubs who want Guardiola services including the National Team, my prediction is that he will return to his country and coach Spain one day.

I can understand players like Kante or Koulibaly, they've already had enough success in Europe. Players who are now known and loved by the whole world. They are slowly coming to the end of their careers, none of them will be able to continue playing for another 10 years. That's why it's very normal for them to play for Saudi Arabian teams and earn money right now.
After 2 years, they only need to stay there for 1-2 more years so that they can live in the mansion they want wherever they want in the world and do what they want. But it can get a little more surprising when young players decide to go there. It doesn't seem right to me to make different decisions for your career when you haven't achieved enough success in the world yet

The next surprise is likely to be a bit controversial, there have been rumors Pep Guardiola will leave the club after successfully bring Manchester City to the top of the Premier League and ucl, yes although I hope that never happens. But Pep's past at Barcelona became a reference where he left Barca when the team was experience great success because it win various competitions.

Although Manchester City looks very good so far or until this moment, but somehow i still can't say Mancheser City has a good winning mentality. Because anyway, by continuing to have good developments experienced by Manchester City, I only judge this to happen only because Manchester City has good management and not about the winning mentality. Try it, if or for example at this moment Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City, then I am very sure Manchester City will experience a severe decline in performance.

Yes, things like this are sometimes considered trivial, but they have a big impact on the club. There are other examples such as young players being given a proper chance. I see most clubs focusing on experienced players, but they forget that young players might be one of the answers when they face difficulties.
I want to see from Garnacho for example, when Manchester United were deadlocked, and at that time if given the opportunity Garnacho could be the difference throughout the match. Things like this must be realized by a coach especially.

That's right, what they have decided must have been well considered after the results and apart from all that, I think every player has their own right to determine their career. To be honest, I also feel the same way that this activity will only damage the career and mentality of every young player who initially struggles to get into the big European teams and win titles. But indeed sometimes life has other important things that must come first and at this time the offer from the Saudi league is very attractive to English Premier League players.

Currently, Ruben Neves is a player of a fairly mature age and in his prime, but they prefer to go to a Saudi league team to earn a lot of money. On the other hand, players like Eduardo Mendy, Roberto Firmino, Koulibaly, Kante, and Jordan Henderson can be said to be very reasonable to join a Saudi league team because they have all won everything and even though they can actually still play in Europe's top leagues, they still choose the Saudi league team as their next destination. Well, I also don't want to comment further on this and it could be, as you said, that this league could overtake the Turkish or Dutch leagues if it continues to bring in European players.

Mass exodus of premier league players to Saudi Arabian clubs won't weaken EPL, of course majority of those players are aging and wouldn't give optimum performance at their respective EPL clubs, the likes of Kante, Fabinho, Henderson, Koulibaly, Mendy, Neves etc are all at peak of their careers and accepting lucrative contract from the Saudi clubs is an offer that can't be resisted at that age, meanwhile EPL still accommodate young talented players across all the various club therefore the exit of the Saudi bound players will give room for those young players e.g Liverpool had signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to replace Fabinho and Henderson while Man Utd had signed Mount and Onana with other clubs toying same path.

All of top teams have been facing its first preseason match. I think that totenham was the only club that has been suffering the lose to face a club in australia. It's a shame to see that while all the big clubs in EPL like chelsea, duo manchester, arsenal and liverpool were winning the game with good scores. It must be a very bad result for ange. I wonder how levy will reach to it. In my opinion, if we can use the result from the pre match as a measurement to know how good the bounds are that already made by the players in the club.
I don't even believe ange's vision. I remember when so many media published his statement to give something new into the totenham but he delivers nothing. Even totenham must be losing against unfamiliar club.
Newcastle does better compared with totenham this season. I can't even deny that. It's likely totenham will never be qualified for UCL starting from this season.

In the last season of the Premier League, Arsenal had a great competition until the end of the season against Manchester City, but despite finishing the competition, they could not win the Premier League title in the end. Manchester City finally won the Premier League title heading into the final stages of the season. Like last season, Manchester City is a favorite team in this season as well. Manchester City have made a lot of changes in their game due to which they are now seeing success. Compared to other Premier League teams and other teams' performance, Manchester City is currently far ahead of other teams. 
Manchester City may sign a few more players before the end of the transfer season. If some good players can be brought to Manchester City, this team will become a stronger team.

This is only about money and when the club has money to bring the top players of the Top also must have the courage to compete even with Arabic clubs. FIFA may have set rules, it's just that for this Sjeuah the purchase of Saudi Arabian clubs is still said to be not excessive. Precisely with the challenges of playing in a league that had not been touched even not as popular as the European League pressing every European club to provide a promising salary guarantee. Now in the Saudi Arabian club, the player is still quite expensive.

So this is back again about how money works in adjusting competition. The transfer market is still open which will provide more ways for Saudi clubs to continue to collect European players.

Well, how could it not be because they have a very complete squad and they have it all, Guardiola is a genius coach he is able to understand what Manchester City needs and provide good adaptation space for them new players, so that his opponents cannot see any weaknesses inside it. I admit that they have good management and can always create chances that dominate a win in every game. Next season is certain to be more prestigious and Manchester City will definitely receive a lot of shocks from other clubs, especially those that last season finished in the top five of the standings. Manchester United and Liverpool will put in all the best performances and apart from that we can't forget that Arsenal will be one of the clubs that will provide a more interesting match for Manchester City.

There’s still a possibility, even if a little for other clubs who have been prepping themselves and getting stronger to break the dominance Manchester City currently enjoys in the Premier League.
No doubt, they’re currently the best team in the EPL. From having some really good and talented players to having a manager who really knows his onions. Pep has really transformed the team and I think he influences players to generate and maintain a winning mentality to be able to be consistent in their match wins. Of course, having deep pockets would greatly impact positively on the fortunes of the club.

You can’t say they are the best club in the world but rather it’s safe to say they are the best club in England currently since they are have been dominating the league for a while now. Every year it’s getting harder for them to win the league and last season they were so lucky to have won it and it was all because Arsenal showed a bit of inconsistency towards the end of the season. Next season will even be tougher for them, All teams who were out of form last season are already building a competitive team, Chelsea and Liverpool have signed a couple of players to help improve their squad in preparation for next season. We have Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool Manchester United all ready to challenge for the title next season.


To be recognized as a top club in the champions league takes more than just winning the trophy once, you must be consistent for a couple of seasons in the league at least even if you don’t end up winning the trophy you should always be a runner up in the final, say like in 5 seasons you won the trophy 3 times and then at least make it to the final 4 or 3 times in 5 seasons. Manchester City are far from dominating the champions league, it’s just their first champions league trophy in history so they need to be consistent and win it multiple times in a row to be regarded as the best just like Real Madrid.


I don’t even think they will be up to the task to achieve that feat. I believe guardiola is the secret to their success and once he leaves the team they will become an Ordinary big team from England. I’m sure guardiola won’t spend up to 3 seasons with them again.

Anyone can play for any team they want, you can't impose any restrictions on this. This situation does not make me very happy either, they act as if they can do anything they want by using the money they have.
I think in a few years it will become a really high quality league. As Ronaldo said, if they continue to make such transfers, we can start to watch a better league than the Netherlands and Turkey. Making a transfer from the Premier League is quite an achievement

If healthy finances were the most important factor in building a strong squad, Chelsea should be at the forefront of the Premier League right now. No team has ever before spent as much money as Chelsea in such a short time span.

Manchester City is not strong at the moment, they have been a force in global soccer for almost a decade now. This doesn't always equate to Champions League wins as we know, but there was no single team all those years that was guaranteed to eliminate Manchester City ever.

And how Newcastle did it, because they also had updated team, which was formed from players who had just arrived and they did not have much time to play. But Liverpool didn't need time for that, they sold a few players, Nunez came, but the main team was the same. By the way, a lot of new players also came to Arsenal and they played great, so it’s not clear what exactly this connection depends on, most likely the mood in the team also decides a lot.

I think Man City has turned out to be a very strong team at the moment. Not only from the quality of the players and staff they have, but they also have a winning mentality and are certainly supported by healthy finances. So for this new season, I think Man City will remain the strongest favorite, but there is still a possibility for other teams to shift Man City's dominance. My guess is that Man United and Liverpool will be in close competition with Man City next season.

I agree with you. Even in the last season we have seen many such clubs, despite having a lot of star players, they cannot perform well. For example we can look at Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United teams. On the other hand, Newcastle and Arsenal had very few star players in their teams. However, Newcastle and Arsenal played well because of the bond between the players. Especially the Newcastle team. This team was not very strong. However, they remained consistent throughout the season and also qualified for the Champions League. And so it is a misconception that only star players are needed for team success. Good results are possible even if experienced coaches and players are confident.
