Well, this season Arsenal has completed its squad for several lines. Unfortunately, Arsenal has not brought in a player who is a mainstay in the front line as a productive finisher. So, for me Arsenal is not complete if they don't bring in a pure striker in this summer's transfer window. IMO, there are several Arsenal players who should be released in this summer's transfer window. Apart from Nketiah, Fabio Viera cannot be relied on, especially in crucial matches. I hope that before the transfer window closes, Arsenal has brought in a striker who is at least capable of scoring 20 goals in one season. Thus, Arteta has several options for front line players if problems such as injuries occur. In the City camp, TheCitizen lost a player who usually always became Erling Haaland's backup. I don't know Pep Guardiola's plan after Alvarez left, but anyway City has truly competitive players and a coach who knows his team's needs. The competition in the 2024/25 season should be more exciting, but maybe several other teams are targeting trophies and will provide competition for City and Arsenal. we can't be sure yet, which team will show an epic performance in the upcoming season. what is certain, I hope Arteta and Edu get a pure striker that we expect as supporters of The Gunners.

The problem is, as already explained in this thread, is Chelsea not giving enough time to any of the coaches that they have brought in recently, that is a big problem for any club. If you do not give enough time to the coaches that you bring in, you will never see a good consistent result from the squad that he is working with. And if the coaches get changed, the squad will also not be able to perform well and consistently because the tactic is not consistent.

I hope they are going to give Enzo Maresca enough time and not change at the first sight of bad results. Because then the continuous cycle is going to go on forever. Just give him at least three seasons. If the results are literally too bad, like he is bringing Chelsea down to the relegation zone, then I think you can change the coach.

I like the honesty in your own submission. Whatever will make Manchester United step up to the position of Manchester City in this coming season will take a great grit from the Man U team. Guardiola is still the manager of Manchester City and it doesn't seem like they're willing to perform less than they did were in the last season. Meaning Guardiola will recruit more talented players. Another advantage for Manchester City right now is that they have a manager who's committed to his job and also ready to lead from the front line. He has already understood the club and it's management and knows how to manage them the best.

Casemiro has declined honestly. Before the pre-season games, I was busy defending him, but during that gake against Liverpool, It was crystal clear that if Manchester United fail to get a new defensive midfielder, they're sending Erik ten Hag to World War 3 without ammunitions nuclear weapons. I won't sugar coat shit, I'm disappointed with Manchester United.

Scott MC Tominay is not a technical player and not a player who can push Manchester United forward. They should have sold him when Fulham United brought in that offer for him.
Manchester United fans shouldn't be expecting a great season because they'll face more tribulations, more than they had last season.

I won't say Casemiro hasn't declined. What I can boldly say is that, he had a great first season for Manchester United, assisting on his first 90 minutes debut!

This is a friendly match. There will not be much benefit from this other than morale because it can be seen that Leverkusen is not in prime condition. So I think Xabi Alanso will evaluate his squad especially in defense to face the next season well both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
For Arsenal, of course, this victory is a morale boost and has high confidence to face the next season better than before. In this match I also did not expect Arsenal to win with a landslide score over Leverkusen, the Arsenal players in this match looked more enthusiastic than last season. This is important progress for Arteta to start the next season well.

Liverpool as we know is not a team that doesn't contend for title every season. They will definitely contend, but this time around is not their time for the title. They would have to show us that they can do it under their new coach. Then after this season,  next season we can expect more from them. The situation of Liverpool now could make them lose quality for years, just like the situation of Manchester United after the exit of Sir Alex Ferguson. The same thing is happening to Chelsea also.

Preseason is not a benchmark but we can judge a little about Liverpool's matches under Arne Slot's tutelage that can be said to be quite better even though later in the Premier League do not know, but my own opinion will not be as bad as what is imagined Liverpool is still a great team.

When other teams from the Premier League are more focused on recruiting a lot of players but Liverpool seems to be silent not doing anything just about Zubimendi being his recruitment, Liverpool also did not throw away the players first maybe Arne Slot will keep the existing players.

I really don't why people are actually making a big deal out of the whole situation because if you check from an angle then you would know that these friendly games are really of that important, I would talk of a whole lot of possible reason that made Leverkusen to actually lose that game and that's why I really don't take it as some humiliation at all, although the score in a general sense was massive but looking at the fact that's it's just a friendly game makes me feel they can definitely recover from the loss.

   @Cookdata   you are getting it all wrong and any football fan who have been following up with how Chelsea has been signing in new players and the quality of these players in relation to the money they spend in bringing in all these players accumulatively contrasted to their performance it really does calls for concern. Chelsea are not only buying young players but players without any form of good experience, at least there should be a mix of quality plus experience players in the team. It doesn't have to be from Manchester City or real Madrid.

What are the plans for the young age players they are bringing to the club? Are they trying to building ROM scratch or what? For a club to make success it's not all about buying almost every young player open for deal in the market as the possibilities is that you may end up buying garbage, unproductive and building an amateur team that will be struggling to escape  relegation than winning trophies.

Chelsea football bus next season. Lol.

Enzo has been trying different players in his matches, so he is just trying to check each player’s performance and how he will be able to play them when the season starts. Chelsea's performance was poor in pre-season matches, let’s see how they will perform when the season starts.

I know Enzo is really a good coach, and I am sure he will be able to achieve something for Chelsea only if he is given time, but we all know Chelsea management doesn’t always have patience with coaches, which is really affecting them. Enzo should be able to perform well, but he should be given time. We all saw how Chelsea performed in their pre season matches, their performance was so poor, but with time, I am sure there will be improvement in their performance only if they can give Enzo enough time to do his work. But the Chelsea problem can’t be solved within a short period of time.

Chelsea transfer 20 million euros, add seventh goalkeeper to goalkeeping guild'


Chelsea strengthens with Belgian goalkeeper Penders

Goalkeeper Mike Penders is leaving Genk for an adventure at Chelsea, Fabrizio Romano reports. The Belgian will become the seventh goalkeeper in Chelsea 's first team .

The nineteen-year-old goalkeeper is making the move to Genk for twenty million euros including bonuses. Chelsea sees a lot of potential in Penders and therefore the club is also offering him a long-term contract. The Belgian will stay with the Londoners until 2032. The young Penders will remain active for Genk next season, but after this year he will make the move to London. Penders still had a contract with Genk until 2028.

Chelsea is currently in the midst of another crazy transfer summer. The Londoners have already signed eight players and it seems that they are not going to stop there. The arrival of Penders will soon be made official, as will that of Samu Omorodion from Atlético Madrid. Whether Penders has much chance of playing time at Chelsea next season is the question. The Belgian will then become the seventh goalkeeper on the payroll of the first team.

Chelsea are beginning to make me look like an not ready for this season, I will say they really make use of this transfer window more than any other English team, I am beginning to afraid for them if they didn't make any positive results this season

They were definitely convincing during the pre-season games but to some extent I literally don't know if there pre-season win would actually count as some convincing performance because most of the teams during pre-season don't actually play with their full strength and to that they just play with maybe their second choice or even academy players to avoid some of their big names getting injured

Only one week until the season starts. Liverpool have looked good in pre season but we still have signed 0 new players. I am starting to get annoyed at the incompetence of the men in suits in charge of recruitment.

I am now seeing that Zubimendi might want to stat at Sociedad which is a big kick in the nuts. We just can not close deals.

In the last two seasons Arsenal failed to win the title but their performances were very good. The team continued to fight for the title until the last match of the season. And the Premier League became more competitive thanks to Arsenal's great performances. We didn't just see Manchester City's dominance.

Arsenal's only weakness in the last two seasons has been the lack of experienced players in their bench team. When a key player in Arsenal's squad suffered an injury, Arsenal did not have suitable replacements. This is why Arsenal fell behind. Alvarez was a worthy replacement for Haaland in Manchester City's squad. But Arsenal did not have a suitable substitute when any key player in the Arsenal squad suffered an injury. Arsenal's performance was unstbale as a result. This is why Arsenal can't win the title. So I feel the need to add more talented players to Arsenal's squad next season.

While I do agree that it was unbelievable what they did and I think it shows great potential for them, we need to keep remembering that we are talking about just a friendly game and that doesn't mean that they are going to end up being too great. I feel like we are going to probably see them do very well, and should not be considering the situation changing too much, it should be something that could make some profit if we are lucky, but that's about it and nothing more.

I believe that if we are going to make some money on betting for Arsenal games, I would still suggest making sure that you know what you are doing. I suggest doubling when they lose, because it's hard to imagine them losing more than twice in a row, so that means you will martingale your way into profiting if you do that, and you should not expect them to never lose, they will lose, maybe not even win the title, but they may end up with a victory once for 3 games at worst case, so it's good to bet like that.

We await what Arsenal can do in the next season, they’ve really tried their best for the past two seasons and their performance have been very impressive to have won at least a league or any other trophy in one of the competitions they’re participating in. They need to always be at their best if they want to win a trophy and not like other seasons that they perform a bit impressive and after a while their performance retard and give the league away to another team. Arsenal are worthy of being champions by now since Arteta took charge, maybe they can be able to prove that sooner enough.


Friendly matches are sometimes not rated good enough to for a te to know their stance against another team, but it can also play an important factor in determining whether the teams are capable of having to give the other a tough time when they meet head-to-head. Bayern Leverkusen are champions of the Bundesliga and Arsenal are runner ups in the premier league, both of them can show a great performance against each other when they meet.

The process Enzo Maresca is taking is a bit fast in my opinion and it will take the players time to adapt to his pattern because it looks difficult and completely different from their previous style of play; before the players get used to the pattern of three defense and massive pressing and attach Maresca is imposing, the team will lose some matches before they gain their balance.

The massive signing is not a problem because most teams are now after young players but his standard and pattern of signing is not convincing to Chelsea fans. Nevertheless, I still don't know how he is going to handle a lot of players in his squad.

Arne Slot looks more competent than Enzo Maresca based on pre-season games. Slot wanted to bring his pattern just as Enzo is trying, but he stick to Kloop's pattern for now and try changing the team step by step, and they are now playing very well so far in their preseason matches.

Leverkusen was devastated against Arsenal in the friendly match. This is a big problem for them because they will be in the Champions League next year. Even though friendly matches are not important, the 4-1 score can be seen as a problem. It shows that there are problems in the defense area for Leverkusen. It was a perfect match for Arsenal as well. They defeated Leverkusen with a clear score. Xabi will control many things after this match.

I would say that Chelsea are in dire straits right now. Basically Chelsea's woes have started since the change of ownership. And since then Chelsea's condition is more weak and shaky due to various bad decisions of Chelsea management. This team failed to perform well consistently. Despite changing the coach several times, Chelsea did not get any benefit.

For these reasons I think Chelsea should start planning for the long term now. Last season we saw the Chelsea management put pressure on every coach to improve the team quickly. But rapid improvement is not possible for Chelsea. I would say if Mourinho was given enough time by the Chelsea management, he could have turned the whole team around. New coach Enzo Maresca will definitely have to give the Chelsea management enough time. Otherwise it is not possible to stabilize this group. Chelsea management must be patient.

Chelsea seems to be the club in the PL that has the highest number of players. The number of players Chelsea has, I believe it will not be an easy job for Enzo to control and maximize the number of players in Chelsea. Chelsea has about 41 first-team players. For Enzo to put the squad together will take him time to do. He will be confused at times to know the right player to substitute for the other in a given match.



For me, I believe Chelsea has the right set of players that can contest for the top position, but the problem will be how to manage the players by bringing the best in them to align with one another in a match.
