I believe the Chelsea management was impressed by Palmer's performance last season and chose to increase his salary. We don't know what the Chelsea management's target is, do they want the player to finish his career with the club? Palmer is currently 22 and has signed two additional contracts, making nine years with the club, Palmer will be 31 by then. Palmer's salary deserved to be increased based on his performance last season, but I don't think signing a new contract is an ideal choice because Chelsea management can add new players at any time and decide to sell Palmer to another club.

Palmer deserves it all because of his impressive performances last season. Chelsea are trying to invest in Palmer, he is a talented player and his ability will increase if the coach can handle him well. Chelsea's additional salary and contract duration are in anticipation or to prevent him from moving to another club, in addition Chelsea will also increase the Bay Out Clause so that other teams have difficulty poaching him from Stamford Bridge. Hopefully the change of coach will not affect his performance, Enzo Maresca must be able to make him a future star who can help Chelsea win trophies again.

I would say that Chelsea managed to finish in the top 10 of the table because of Cole Palmer's excellent performances last season. Otherwise, the Chelsea team could not even be in the top 10 of the table. Cole Palmer had 22 goals and 11 assists in 33 games last season. He was Chelsea's best player. Besides, no other player has been able to play consistently well.

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their squad and challenge for the Premier League title. In such a situation, Chelsea will never decide to sell a young talented player like Cole Palmer. If Osimhen and Cole Palmer are in Chelsea's attack, Chelsea's attack will be stronger. But they still can't reach a final decision on whether Osimhen will be bought by Chelsea management.

please don't say that Chelsea finishing at the top 10 of the Premier League 2023/2024 season was all because of Palmer, actually I known or we known that Palmer performance last season was very good and superb, but it doesn't mean that he should take all the glory because Chelsea ended at the sixth position last season, his other teammate like Madueke, Gallagher, Mudryk, Sterling and the rest also make some good impact last season, because that was you are trying to say. Who will actually to sell a player that is making or bringing the performance of the club out, but doesn't mean that other players are not trying, they are trying but his the one making more impact than them.

At a point I felt like Napoli wasn't ready to sell Osimhen with the hefty release clause they have leveled on the player. The fact that the player is a promising one have already made him sought-after, making the 100 million you suggested a reasonable amount to be considered by top clubs who have interest in him and also have the money. But the problem is, adding another 30 million on the player makes him very expensive to buy. Whilst I believe there are clubs who have the capacity to purchase the player for a great price because of their ambition this season, I don't think those clubs will be ready to give a whooping 130 million to Napoli in exchange of Victor Osimhen.

Napoli know that Osimhen did not perform well last season like he did in the prior season before that one. In that season, he won the Serie A title and that even made his market value to go high. His performance last season was very short of expectations, then why do you think teams will be willing to pay such whopping amount for him without even knowing what will come of him in the next season. You’re selling off the player you don’t need anymore because of his low performance but you’re making it hard for any team to buy him. This is unfair though.

Transfer aside, I hope Alex still remember that this is going to be the third season Chelsea has made it's last appearance in the Champions League, if they don't make a come back this season then next season is going to be the fourth time with appearance in Champions League, they will be forgotten or possibly remembered for some thing the way Arsenal is facing right now.

And this is true, Arsenal just went into exile from the champions league and never came back for more than half decade before they were able to register themself in the champions league once more after Arteta took over. Chelsea is already losing their form and may face the same fate as Arsenal those days if they don’t do anything to fix and get themselves back on track. They finished well last season, better than the season before that, so we hope they try and finish this season better than the last season.

Chelsea has the money to sign Osimhen, had it been he is from Europe they wouldn't bargain the way trey are doing him right now but they are using Lukaku as bait and that's very unfair for Osimhen. African best player of 2023 is been treated like someone that is been force to stay but no matter what, I don't want him ridicule his career in Napoli, Chelsea need a player like him, someone that is ready to make the team win and that's the only way they can do well this season and aim for top spot in the table.

Transfer aside, I hope Alex still remember that this is going to be the third season Chelsea has made it's last appearance in the Champions League, if they don't make a come back this season then next season is going to be the fourth time with appearance in Champions League, they will be forgotten or possibly remembered for some thing the way Arsenal is facing right now.

Arsenal will compete with everything they have this season. No other team has been so close to Manchester City for the past two seasons now. Look at the points last season, look at the number of games won, lost and drawn. Come on, no team can match that if you are not Manchester City or Real Madrid.
One big reason why Arsenal shocked the league two seasons ago was their preseason energy where new signings took part and hit the ground running. We have seen it with Calafiori and have a feeling it’s going to be a very big season for the Gunners.

Arteta will be hoping to attain more points than they had last season. He said something about winning games to achieve 114 points which would be enough to win the EPL title. I think he’s putting everything up for the challenge this season, especially if a striker comes in.

I agree that they are going to be putting up 100% of what they have to get this season, they look like the only team that has what it takes to beat City finally and no other team is even remotely looking close to that unless we are shocked. If Arsenal does it then they are finally going to win it, they will end up being the champions, but if they do not have it then we are going to end up seeing City get yet another title and people are sick and tired of that.

In fact, so much so that when they won the title last season and had the title ceremony, like with bus and all that going through the city type of thing, much less people were there compared to previous ones. Meaning that even City fans are not really that excited about it anymore, they like it but they do not really feel that hungry about it anymore considering they won so many already. Which is why I feel like it is not going to be that easy for them to get it and Arsenal has a lot more hunger for it so they may get it.

If the fans are not into it, it absolutely does not mean they are bored with it, it sounds unthinkable. manchester city is the only team that shows beautiful and interesting football, their game is something you want to watch every time, Arsenal don't have that, they also don't have anything that will help them beat this team this season. Confident wins in pre-season matches mean absolutely nothing

Chelsea are a joke to be honest, why sell Gallagher, he’s one of their better players.

What’s the plan, sell Gallagher and bring in another random guy nobody has heard of who goes on to flop hard.

Feels like they have no clue what they are doing, just signing players like a kid playing a computer game.

Is this a new drama because I read in several articles that Chelsea withdrew its interest in selling Gallagher, even in an article where Chelsea's agreement with Atletico Madrid reportedly failed in the transfer of Gallagher.
Yes, I also think that's why Chelsea acted quite badly in the transfer market because they wanted to sell experienced players and buy new players which might be a big blunder.

I hope Chelsea don't sell Gallagher because he is a pretty good player and was able to show his best qualities last season. So next week the Premier League will start again and I hope Chelsea don't make any more bad mistakes in the next few days, they have to develop a strong strategy to be able to beat their opponents.

Gallagher is a graduate of Chelsea's own academy and as such, it would seem to make sense that Chelsea would keep him. But anyway, the fact is that Gallagher's contract will also expire in 2025 and thus, if this season Chelsea does not extend Gallagher's contract then maybe Gallagher will also be able to leave for free in 2025 later. But perhaps, about the absence of an agreement between Chelsea and Atletico, it seems that Atletico also still has to consider whether to bring Gallagher or maybe also choose Kante.

Actually from the beginning I did not agree if he was allowed to leave just like that with his excellent contribution in midfield actually Gallagher's transfer to Atletico was a condition that would indeed harm Chelsea and it was very good if Chelsea brought him back home without any clarity from Atletico for a few days.
In some news that occurred at this time Gallagher had returned to London and he had again started training with Chelsea but indeed the situation could still change because Chelsea had also agreed on a price of 33 million for Gallagher, it's just that the follow-up on this matter from Atletico was still not very clear.

Even if he doesn't leave in the end Gallagher is still very useful for Chelsea's current midfield because after all for now Chelsea still needs a midfielder with a fighter type like Gallagher for the season that will start in a few days.

It seems like the feud between Manchester City and Arsenal continues this season, how could it not be, both teams look much more prepared than the other teams. It is interesting to see the breakthroughs of the two teams that have been fighting each other for the last two seasons until the last match. I see Arsenal will not let Manchester City lose again for the third time, Arteta has evaluated his squad and the arrival of Calafiori is proof of how serious he is about making his squad stronger. However, Pep Guardiola is always the difference, he is an experienced manager and he has quite a lot of ideas for Manchester City. But what is clear is that I prefer Arsenal for this season.

I do agree that it is going to end up with a good race again, or at least everyone hopes that it will be a good race, that would be very great for everyone. I know that we are going to end up with both teams being great, but we still don't know of course we can't say that we know what's going to happen, we just assume and we just expect but maybe one of the teams will be much worse than what we expect as well, it is not really that complicated because many teams looked good and and ended up being bad so that is why I can't really say that it is going to be exactly like what we hoped, we just assume that they will be doing fine.

So all in all, let's hope that it gets to be like that, remember last year how three teams fought like until April or so, and then Liverpool started to be bad but then Arsenal and City played very well and did very good. We should probably see something similar, Liverpool once again looks good too so I think that could very well be same with those three teams as well.

Arsenal will compete with everything they have this season. No other team has been so close to Manchester City for the past two seasons now. Look at the points last season, look at the number of games won, lost and drawn. Come on, no team can match that if you are not Manchester City or Real Madrid.
One big reason why Arsenal shocked the league two seasons ago was their preseason energy where new signings took part and hit the ground running. We have seen it with Calafiori and have a feeling it’s going to be a very big season for the Gunners.

Arteta will be hoping to attain more points than they had last season. He said something about winning games to achieve 114 points which would be enough to win the EPL title. I think he’s putting everything up for the challenge this season, especially if a striker comes in.

The pattern Arsenal used last season to chase for the title is still the same pattern that they would use this season. Making their defense strong enough to concede less goals and turning both midfielders and wingers into potential strikers. That is the reason why during the buying of new players this season, Arsenal has chosen to buy more defensive players to increase player options in the defense line incase of possible casualties. The only difference this season i see is that Arsenal are having keen interest in getting a striker am not sure they will come to conclusion soon enough in any of their picks but i remember last season they had this same move on a striker and did not buy at last.

What Arteta needs to do is not even attaining more point because Manchester City and other teams competiting will as well attain points to top the league. What he needs is to score more goals by having player that will create those goal opportunities and protect the goals they had scored by preventing equalizing or a draw match in each game from the opponent team.

There's absolutely no reason to worry about Arsenal because they've the best players to hanged up the good job. Arsenal have attacking pattern have emerged to be one of the presiding reinforced section. Mikel Arteta have gathered enough formidable tactics to enable his team become one of the top challenging opponents for the English Premier League title. The 2024/2025 EPL season will be open in few days and we hope to see our various clubs coming out to be competitive and running for solid positions.

Honestly the Coach Mikel Arteta has arranged the Arsenal team with better squad which show that Arsenal don’t want to play this season, since they aware of how a lot of fans and from the others angles are criticizing them, that passed two seasons now; Arsenal are unable to achieve the leagues.

But for those that are very worried about the Arsenal inconsistency should calm their mind down this season will be differences from the previous seasons, because I hope for Arsenal that they can make positive changes this times around.

Probably the management thinks the number of players in the team will help the team to get better 😂 that's why he's sinking the team more with his unprofessional idea of selling the monkey to buy a goat idea kind of signing.

Maybe Chelsea doesn’t understand that It’s not about the quantity of players you are having that’s going to help the club, it’s about the quality of the players that a club is having, so I am just surprised that Chelsea is selling one of the quality players that they are having, and they keep on accumulating young players for the club. I never expected Chelsea to sell a player like Gallagher. Since they prefer to play with young players who have little experience, the season will soon be starting. Let’s see how things will be for them, but selling Gallagher doesn’t make any sense to me, and it think it’s a wrong idea.

Chelsea have many quality players. Selling Gallagher may not be the wrong decision for the new head coach. It's possible that the coach did see better him, it may get another player better than him to play the position,which is why they sold him. A coach like Enzo Maresca will not just sell a quality player who is known for their value to the team. One thing about Chelsea is that they don't just sell players arbitrarily, so they may have good reasons for selling Gallagher.

The way Enzo Maresca is accumulating younger players is a smart strategy. Getting young players at the right time is beneficial because they will be able to play for a long period. However, when a coach starts looking for old, experienced players, he is just after trophies, which is not the best approach. Old players can't play for a long time, and that's why teams can collapse easily. This is what happened to Chelsea a few seasons ago; almost all their quality players were old, which reduced their strength, and even now, they have not been able to fully fix it.

I equally have no clue on what the Chelsea management is doing in the transfer window especially the Gallagher issue; they wanted to sell the player by force even though the player have shown his interest in the team that he doesn’t wants to leave, yet he is been forced out of the team. I heard that the deal collapsed that he has came back to London yesterday?
Can they push another deal for him or leave him to stay with the team to keep doing the good work he was doing last season.
Tad Boehly’s scout and advisers are not doing their job well in my opinion, they just keep signing players without direction on where and how to go about them in the team, they are the team with high number of players that are useless because it is only 11 players that can play in a match, then why keep signing?

I'm sure Napoli management is asking a very high price for Osimhen. If there was a 100 million euro release clause, maybe several clubs would have been more interested in Osimhen. Napoli management should now reduce Osimhen's release clause. Otherwise, Napoli management will not be able to sell Osimhen this season.

At a point I felt like Napoli wasn't ready to sell Osimhen with the hefty release clause they have leveled on the player.

With Luke Shaw reported Injured again, this could be Manchester United predicted lineup for the game in Friday against Fulham who will be hosted at Old Trafford.
Well, it feels good to see that they completely got the transfer for these two ex players from Ajax done before the game and they even trained with Manchester United squad today to ready themselves for the game on Friday.

Luke Shaw's career is affected seriously by many injuries and he is a strong man. After a serious injury when he was very young, with broken leg, he came back strongly and not only recovered but also upgraded his career under Jose Mourinho's guide. He had some latest good seasons but in the last two seasons, it looks like injuries are returning more regularly and starting to destroy career of Luke Shaw.

At his age now, it's harder to recover from injuries and play well after some injuries. With very had injury record of Luke Shaw, Ten Hag and Manchester United will have to build up their plan in this season and in future with little weight for the player. By this, their plans will not be affected too much if Luke Shaw can not play. Finding a replacement for Luke Shaw will be one of things to be done in near future too.

It is definitely going to be hard for him to come back from injuries at this age. Even if Luke Shaw does come back quickly, it is going to be hard for him to stay out of injuries if he is played pretty regularly because we all know how hard and physical the English premier league can be for any player. Looking at the Manchester United squad,, I don’t have much hope that they are going to improve significantly. Even just looking at the squad, it feels like Bruno Fernandez is the only one who is reliable. The other players are either very young or a hit-and-miss.

I am interested to see how De Ligt is going to perform. Expectations is pretty big from him since he has previously worked with the coach in Ajax. But we know how big expectations have turned out to be at Manchester United recently.

Personally, I want to see from another perspective, is it possible that Arteta will be fired if Arsenal again fails to win the Premier League trophy next season, because we know that Arteta has spent a lot of budget to build squad depth. Indeed, the accumulation of Arsenal player market value is still lower than Man City, but not too significant. For now, Man City has not shown any signs of decline, even though Pep Guardiola has lost one of his best rotation options, Julian Alvarez. Arsenal management and top brass seem unlikely to act too aggressively, meaning they will not fire Arteta even if they fail again next season.

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola contract has also entered its final stage, where Man City success at the domestic level may be the basis for the Spanish manager to extend his tenure at Etihad on June 2025. So in this case, Arsenal will not be easy to beat Man City in the competition, Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool also have the attributes to become title challengers, at least they can be stumbling blocks. Apart from all that, luck can always be unpredictable, who knows the trophy will be won by a dark horse team that never crossed our minds.

They will definitely end up playing the computer games with the kids they keep bringing into the team as you clearly pointed out 😜.

Palmer deserves it all because of his impressive performances last season. Chelsea are trying to invest in Palmer, he is a talented player and his ability will increase if the coach can handle him well. Chelsea's additional salary and contract duration are in anticipation or to prevent him from moving to another club, in addition Chelsea will also increase the Bay Out Clause so that other teams have difficulty poaching him from Stamford Bridge. Hopefully the change of coach will not affect his performance, Enzo Maresca must be able to make him a future star who can help Chelsea win trophies again.

I see Todd building the team around Cole Palmer, they want him to be the main player at Chelsea and they are going to benefit from that as he's a good player and one that the fans love. Cole Palmer has only spent one year at Chelsea but everybody has something good to say about him. He helped Chelsea throughout last season and with the help of the new players that Chelsea is signing, they can help restore Chelsea back to their glory days. The new contract is good for cole Palmer as he doesn't have to worry about his future and only have to focus on increasing his playing abilities. I don't know about his salary but I think it will be big.

I don't know why the Napoli management is taking so long to make a decision about Osimhen. Osimhen is a very important player in their squad. However, if Osimhen is not sold this season, Napoli management will suffer financially. Because Napoli management bought Osimhen for 70 million horche. So Napoli will definitely want to make money by selling Osimhen.

Napoli coach Antonio Conte is keen on signing Lukaku. Chelsea, on the other hand, need talented players like Osimhen. That's why I think Osimhen is the most likely to see Chelsea's squad. But now I hear rumors that Arsenal management are also trying to buy Osimhen. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Osimhen in Arsenal's squad. It is not less likely.

The problem is that Napoli's management is currently setting a price that is too high for Osimhen even though last season Osimhen's performance had declined so it's only natural that no team wants to buy him at a high price.
That is the reason why until now there is no end to the Osimhen transfer story and I also think that whatever happens Osimhen must be sold immediately, this will be good for both of them because Osimhen is no longer wholeheartedly playing for Napoli and if Osimhen wants his career to be better then he must go to a much bigger team.

And the plan of the new Napoli coach is to bring in Lukaku, that means Conte doesn't need Osimhen, so I'm sure before the transfer window closes Osimhen will definitely leave.

Osimhen is a very talented scorer. Any big club would want a player like Osimhen in their squad. But at the moment, nobody is interested in adding Osimhen to the squad at a cost of 130 million euros. Usually Arsenal and PSG teams buy players at high prices. So I thought I would see Osimhen at either club. But whether this will happen is yet to be said.

I'm sure Napoli management is asking a very high price for Osimhen. If there was a 100 million euro release clause, maybe several clubs would have been more interested in Osimhen. Napoli management should now reduce Osimhen's release clause. Otherwise, Napoli management will not be able to sell Osimhen this season.

Arsenal will compete with everything they have this season. No other team has been so close to Manchester City for the past two seasons now. Look at the points last season, look at the number of games won, lost and drawn. Come on, no team can match that if you are not Manchester City or Real Madrid.
One big reason why Arsenal shocked the league two seasons ago was their preseason energy where new signings took part and hit the ground running. We have seen it with Calafiori and have a feeling it’s going to be a very big season for the Gunners.

Arteta will be hoping to attain more points than they had last season. He said something about winning games to achieve 114 points which would be enough to win the EPL title. I think he’s putting everything up for the challenge this season, especially if a striker comes in.

I agree that they are going to be putting up 100% of what they have to get this season, they look like the only team that has what it takes to beat City finally and no other team is even remotely looking close to that unless we are shocked. If Arsenal does it then they are finally going to win it, they will end up being the champions, but if they do not have it then we are going to end up seeing City get yet another title and people are sick and tired of that.

In fact, so much so that when they won the title last season and had the title ceremony, like with bus and all that going through the city type of thing, much less people were there compared to previous ones. Meaning that even City fans are not really that excited about it anymore, they like it but they do not really feel that hungry about it anymore considering they won so many already. Which is why I feel like it is not going to be that easy for them to get it and Arsenal has a lot more hunger for it so they may get it.

Anyone else paying close attention to the hammers? ( West Ham United ). When I take a good look at their blunders from last season, they indeed suffered heavily in defense and so far they have brought just the right names to boost the defense. Tobido, Kilman and also Aaron Wan Bisakka from Manchester United will definitely add to make that defense solid.

Füllkrug from Borrussia Dortmund was one of the germans with the top goals, I believe he could also do the same with West Ham United.

The same I'll say for Summerville, he was very creative from his previous club, I'm sure he'll add to the creativity and goalscoring of Bowen.

I don't really pay attention to West Ham's movements in the transfer market, but last season West Ham started the season very well. Even though in the end they could only end the season in 9th place. But that was much better than their ranking in previous seasons. Which means West ham have improved over time. And last season, West Ham was even able to go quite far in the European League. because West Ham was able to advance to the quarter-finals in the European league. But they were stopped by Leverkusen in the quarter-finals. And I think this time they have to fight harder in the Premier League. And indeed West Ham has a weakness at the back and yes this will be very good for the team because they have added new strength to the back line by taking advantage of the current transfer market. But I don't have high hopes for this club.
