Seeing that Arsenal have finally given up in their chase Aleksander Isak I don't think is good news to the supporters of the north London club considering their performance of last season and how they seriously need a sharp like Isak complete their near perfect team. I understand that Arsenal do not want to overprice Newcastle for the services of Isak but I think it would've been better for them to table a high fee that would've helped convince Newcastle to let go of their striker. Maybe they have a second plan for another deadly striker but if Arsenal fails to land a big-game striker to the club this summer, I will not be expecting anything better than what we all saw from them last season.

We all know how Arsenal are worried about their striker spot which is having quality and their budget is unlimited so they are looking for a player who fits their budget and whose performance is top-notch, but now situation is completely changed in market because top strikers are having huge tag price and their all-hard work is already ended without any development.

Newcastle Untied is also having some good targets for the next season so they are having tag of €130 Million which is not under budget of Arsenal. They are already having same replies from other clubs this situation is not ideal but as we are heading for the last few days before start of new season we will be having some sorted out situation for them.

Arsenal is serious about their next season, and they are busy in this as well but can they go through with quality striker after having many rejections it's important for them, and they need to work out of this quickly.

Man UTD are making things hard for them ahead of next season with how they are going about their preparation I don't see any reason why ETH should be thinking of playing either Sancho (seems they're on the same page now) as a false 9 or Bruno Fernandes, like what is he thinking? The squad is facing some little injury crisis but that doesn't stop him from going back to the market to get a back up striker since the guys he had hope on are out due to injury and a new striker can be of great importance to the team.
I used to remember back then when UTD have about 3 strikers in one team without any confusion on who to start ahead of who but now the club is just scared of spending to save the image of the team, look at Arsenal it was lack of goals that cost them the title and the Red Devils are still not getting it while the ball is in their court to make things better next season. ETH will be making a huge mistake if he doesn't get any striker other than thinking of playing any of his wingers or midfielders as a false 9.
Sancho isn't a bad play but since he (Erik ten Heg) has included him to his plan I don't think is right to let him feel stranded as a false 9, if he wants the best of Sancho I think he should play him in his best position, because it would be another problem of saying the player is not fit when he couldn't deliver. ETH need to go out and get a better striker, let that striking department get heated with much competition, I feel that's what UTD need to boost their confidence.

I never expected the deal to work out for both teams. Arsenal has the money to pay after selling two players and loaning out one. How will Arteta think that getting Isak this summer will be done, without Isak Eddie forward play won't work as it did last season. if Eddie agrees to the deal who will score their goals. But wait what did Arteta need again when he had Kai Harvers, and Gabriel Jesus on his forward line, is it that they are not capable of scoring the goals he needed?

in the match against manchester city proves chelsea has not shown significant development. chelsea's defense looks weak, we know this match is just a trial for coaches to mature strategies for readiness in the real competition, but yes I doubt if you look at the preparations made by chelsea at this time, what they show with a bad appearance, then it is clear that for now chelsea is not ready to be a competitor to compete for the premier league trophy.
yes the weakness in chelsea's back line must be overcome immediately by buying good CB players and chelsea should be able to if you look at stable finances.

Man United have made several transfers to get the ideal player for next season. But one of the players who was transferred was injured and it was disadvantageous. Ten Hag has been given options and funds to improve the team. If there is no improvement next season, it seems that he deserves to be fired.

Then about Man City, I think they are still a statistically favored team. But the EPL always displays a difference at the beginning of the new season. Sometimes there are some teams that are late to start the season well.

Because it is a fact that Palmer is the single best purchase for Chelsea despite the fact that there are even more expensive players like Enzo, Nkunku and even Caicedo but in terms of performance they can even be said to be failures for now.

4 Friendly matches were conducted until now with the results of 2 losses, 1 win and 1 draw where Chelsea could score 8 goals and concede 10 goals.



In terms of productivity although their opponents are mostly below their level but of course it is still a little better where they manage to score a ratio of 2 goals / match but it is also not comparable to what they get where their defense is bad because they get 10 goals which clearly shows that no matter how good their attack is, they will not be able to succeed if the defense is weak.

It's obvious this will be the right thing for any team who are really ready to compete they can't sell their main man, he is among their key success though was affected by injuries  woe last season but his impact is always felt when he is on the pitch.
Also I wonder why Arsenal thought they may get him because it's obvious Newcastle are not like any other lower club that may be tempted by big money and I guessed Isak can only leave if he wants to which I doubt will be the case here since is love at the club.

I don't understand whether it's just a rumor or what and this is just a friendly match and maybe we can see a strong team can lose to a weak team. Every coach definitely needs to adapt, especially in the Premier League where the competition is much tighter and it's not easy for a new coach to provide quick success there. Pep Guardiola also needed time to build Man City into a strong team and maybe Chelsea should see this pattern if they want to achieve success.

Firing a coach for the wrong reasons doesn't provide a solution and what the coach needs is trust and they are given time to build the team. The Premier League is different and I'm sure it's not easy to come here and be able to provide success in a fairly short time because the coach needs to adapt to the players and the style of play in the Premier League.

Fulham is a mediocre team that cannot be underestimated and even though Sevilla is a team full of titles in the European league but their performance in the domestic league has always been disappointing. So it is not wrong if we favor Fulham to win this match and the big odds will be very fun if our bet is right.

In a pre-season match like this, it seems that not only Sevilla is not so serious and Fulham actually does the same thing to avoid greater risks. But if we talk about score predictions, I think 2-0 is too much and I think Sevilla will still be able to break into Fulham's goal and will not accept just conceding without replying with a single goal. So I will bet on the over 2.5 result rather than having to bet on Fulham.

Alexander Isak is indeed one of the most important players that Newcastle has. So it is not surprising that Newcastle will not allow other clubs to buy him. Apart from that, Alexander Isak still has a very long contract at Newcastle, namely until the summer of 2028. So Newcastle's decision to keep him is indeed the most appropriate decision for the Newcastle club itself. Because Newcastle will have difficulty finding a player who can replace his position in the team. Moreover, currently the transfer market will not be long now. Well the new season is also about to start. And Newcastle is currently in a position to find new players who can further strengthen their squad.

Smiled me when I heard about Manchester United. Their weaknesses are still visible there is no change even though lately Erik Ten Hag along with his asisten and Manchester United management is preparing the maturity of the squad to face the competition.
Losing to Arsenal and Liverpool in the matching match continues to be a conversation that there are still many weaknesses that must be addressed by them.

Ready or not, good or bad they will see next season against Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

This isn't the first time Chelsea has lost a preseason game, for Enzo Maresca to claim that the pitch was too bad for the players, which caused a poor performance that led to them conceding four goals. Chelsea conceded four goals in their last two games against Celtic, will the manager claim that it was because of a bad pitch? They conceded two goals in less than five minutes, Manchester City is a good club, and Chelsea lacked the strength to compete with them, with the young players they are recruiting for Enzo Maresca. Chelsea's performance will be difficult to improve next season since I didn't see any changes in their game, this is how they performed last season.


Well, I haven't heard anything about Arsenal's interest in signing Isak from Newcastle, but if the rumor is true, I think it's a shame that Arsenal gave up on getting the Newcastle striker, Alexander Isak has been in excellent form since last season, scoring 21 goals in the Premier League. Several clubs have shown interest in signing Isak since last season, but Newcastle refused to sell him, they want to keep the player to compete for next season. Arsenal needs a top striker like Isak to improve their performance next season since they cannot pay the price of Osimehn, so I believe Isak is the best option to improve their front line.

As what he said, he does not take it seriously so I think he does care about the risk but he wants to take it still.
Pre-season match is just friendly match and most team usually use the match as a time to try strategies and lineups as well as to evaluate all the available players.
Of course if I have to bet then I'll skip to bet on 1x2 as what I said several times before, BTTS or Over 2.5 goals is better choice than 1x2.
Well, I hope he will win the bet although he does not take it seriously because a win is still a win and it may give extra money to bet for other matches later.

You're right. You can only go so far in trying to change a system that's faulty from the head because no matter the effort you try to put into it, you'd certainly encounter road blocks from the head.
Chelsea will go far if their owner becomes in sync with not just the coach but also the players. If he gives them more freedom to use their initiative to bring the results he needs desperately, I'm sure Chelsea will do better but the more you keep killing the club with your excessive behavior, you'd only end up with a shadow of what the Blues used to be.

Agree with this Pre-Season there is nothing interesting and even like an entertainment match, Chelsea just lost interest in the hunt for the title season all clubs compete to show their fangs, but different from Chelsea with their new coach who is currently in office does not bring a significant impact in the pre-season match, it is very visible savings in transfer funds to buy players and it seems that the Chelsea Coach does not want to rush to buy players who are able to lift the game this season, because we know that Chelsea has not shopped for players and still relies on previous players, there is a lot of homework for the Chelsea Coach to strengthen in several lines in welcoming the new season later, so that at least there is a change in Chelsea's standings next season.

A very risky bet in my opinion. Sevilla have something to prove - over the last two seasons they have been thrown out of the list of serious clubs and apparently want to return there, so they will not lose without a fight to an ordinary club from the Premier League, for which the main task for the season is not to be eliminated to the Championship.
It seems to me that it would be safer to take BTTS and total 2.5 over here.

Chelsea and Pochettino last season started the season inconsistently. Sometimes they play quite convincingly but then in the next match they play quite disappointingly. but actually in the second half of last season Pochettino was able to make Chelsea more consistent. And we can see the results from the ranking that Chelsea managed to get at the end of the season, namely 6th place. If Man United had not won the FA Cup Final then maybe now Chelsea would have gotten a ticket to the Europa League. Unfortunately Chelsea didn't get any tickets when they reached 6th place.

And unfortunately Pochettino left and Chelsea had to change coaches. Enzo, who is now Chelsea coach, might be able to bring about better changes if he understands and continues what Pochettino built last season. It's just that because so many new players have been brought in, Enzo will have extra work to do in selecting which players will be worthy of being in the main squad. And sometimes that will take time. So at the start of the season maybe Chelsea will be inconsistent again.

Chelsea had a whole lot of inconsistent performance last season, although we could give considerations on the fact that it was a new coach they had so he was trying to still find his feet but then he got sacked by the end of the season because they taught he wasn't doing well enough, now I'm seeing that he actually did his baes even with the inconsistent performance, it would have been better if he was given some time maybe he would have gotten even better this season but then here's Chelsea with a new coach to start all over again i hope they get off better soone before the season goes far that they may not have a chance again.

Newcastle has officially reject the offers from Arsenal for Alexander Isak and Arsenal also has been withdraw to gets this player because Arsenal feel Alexander Isak is too expensive and indeed Newcastle probably will thinking to sell Alexander Isak this summer but they only want approximately 130 million which this price make most clubs who interested to him will not dare to pay according to his price tag and this also makes Arsenal has been give up to gets Alexander Isak and switching their target to look for other players

Arsenal actually is quite active this summer to gets the players and so far they have already gets Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya and Mikel Merino but they still required new striker just like we know but until now Arsenal still haven't gets the player they want and previously indeed Arsenal make Alexander Isak as their priority but unfortunately this transfer will not be happend

Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres indeed currently is linked to them but apparently this is only rumours because Arsenal never bid for these players especially for Victor Osimhen because similar to Alexander Isak this player has expensive price and i am sure Arsenal will not dare to pay over than 100 million for Victor Osimhen and the latest news about Arsenal target player is they were interested to buy Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig but Arsenal have to dissapoint because Benjamin Sesko refuse the offers from them and signing new contract with Leipzig
