I think we are all aware of how Arsenal's performances have been over the last two seasons. We really see the team's improvement. With Arsenal's performances over these two seasons, they have been a threat to Manchester City. Even next season, Arsenal will still be a threat to Manchester City with their current squad. But let's wait for the season to start and see how Arsenal's performance and other teams' performances will be. It may be that only Arsenal will be a great threat to Manchester City next season.I can't really doubt any teams for now as the season has not yet started. We have witnessed improvements from new average teams every season, and I am still expecting that next season, probably a team like Brentford or another average team, should just pick up form and try to fight for the top four, like what Aston Villa and Newcastle have done in the last two seasons.


Yes, I also witnessed Arsenal's new signing. It seems Arteta is just focusing on building the defensive line only, not thinking of attacking, especially a striker. With the defensive line Arsenal has, I don't expect them to focus more on building it again. I was expecting Arteta to focus more on attacking, as those quality attackers don't have good replacements. This is among the issues affecting Arsenal's chances of winning trophies recently, as they always exhaust these players, and toward the end of the season, their performances do reduce they over use them.

Everton is pouring a lot of money at this issue, but its nothing. You need a good team, not only lots of players. Lindstrøm, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye are all young, untested. One cannot create a championship squad on just potential. Look, Onana was a defence rock; they are substituting loans and children for him. Its a gamble, and to be honest, this is not the manner winners behave. You want to win, people, hence you have to pay for demonstrated ability. You have to assemble a team that collaboratively performs, not just toss men onto the pitch and wish for the best. Although I want Everton to flourish, right now their approach seems to be a formula for another relegation struggle. They should pay more attention to quality than to volume. They require not only passion but also leadership. They need vision, not simply a bunch of fresh faces. Should their strategy remain the same, they will have a long, difficult season.

This is a good one from Everton, they are making good preparations for next season because they remembered how they narrowly escape relegation last season. No team is weak in the Premier League, and this reinforcement is actually needed to have a better season.

Amodu Onana left for a better team and for more exposure, I think, because I can't remember the last time Everton participated in the Champions League, but Onana will be able to play in the Champions League next season, which is why I think he made such a move.

On the other hand, Jesper Lindstrøm can be a good replacement even though the quality might differ and he might take time to adapt to the Premier League style of play. I think he can do well because the Seria A style of play is similar to the Premier League, just that the Premier League is more competitive than the Seria A in my opinion.

Correctly Said. Take a good look at Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, how long have they been trying to win the Premier League Competition? It's complete four years and they're yet to do that, although I believe doubts and talks will come up about Mikel Arteta if he doesn't win it at the end of the new premier league campaign ahead kickin'off in the next two weeks.

Manchester United fans lacks patience, I know what it feels like, they're born winners with proud and relentless fans who always want to win. I cannot forget what it's like during the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, but they need to see that they have a good coach who has give them two trophies in two years to buy time as he gradually builds back Manchester United to a club that has standards.

Building takes time and you even have to see your favorite players leaving, those taking high payrolls will also have to reduce that if they want to remain with the club, these are sacrifices meant to be made for change and growth but go see how they're fummin when you want a player who isn't mandatory for the new project.

I don't think I have too much to say for people who are too blind to see that in the next two seasons or three seasons ahead, Manchester United will definitely win the Premier League Competition and also fight hard to win the champions competition with Erik Ten Hag.

All actions so far are pointing in the direction of the fact that everton isn't looking at taking any chances at what ever it is it hey are doing st this time because they probably want a much better result than that which they got last season and they weren't able to be amongst the top teams at the finish point, they want to be amongst the top contenders on the table and possibly finish at the tops so they don't get to be a seen any less.

Calafiori is Arsenal first signing this season after they succeeded in making Raya permanent from Brentford previously, Arsenal, who performed very well last season despite experiencing inconsistencies at the end of the season, this time  are not active in improving the squad they have because so far they have only managed to get Calafiori in transfer windows, but even though So Calafiori arrival will certainly make Arsenal defense line have good squad depth and solid because be filled with experienced defenders, Calafiori arrival will of course shift Kiwior from the main squad next season because apart from being a center back, Calafiori has also played very well as a left back so far.

Currently the need for defensive positions has been met but Arsenal still have to try to recruit midfielders in order to also strengthen their midfield especially since Partey last season performed very poorly after he was frequently injured, apart from that, Arsenal main problem last season was the lack of a capable main striker and I hope arteta doesn't forget that.

I can tell that a lot of Arsenal fans are happy with the acquisition of this defender. He was outstanding for Bologna last season and he was instrumental to their top 4 finish and making the champions league. He’s a player that Arteta has seen as a quality at the back. He can play in multiple positions at the back, and we know Arteta to have this thing for players that plays multiple positions. He is sold on Arteta's project and with the way things have been going with Bologna and him, I think he has always wanted the move.

I think Arteta has in common with Pep Guardiola is their admiration for defenders. I think they believe in having enough quality on the bench in case of injury. Arsenal were lucky with injury last season and they didn’t witness any of Saliba and Gabriel get injured.
Calafiori will provide cover for Gabriel and sometimes the Left back position.
They’re reports linking Kiwior to other Italian clubs, I don’t know the authenticity of the news but I’ll like to see him make a move to provide space for others to play.

I don't agree with what you said. Ten Hag may have made a wasted signing but I think every coach in the world has done it too. If you think that's what made Ten Hag has failed in carrying out his role, it seems like you don't really understand how Man United has developed so far. Do you know how many coaches before Ten Hag arrived who made Man United look bad?

Ten Hag may not have made Man United in its prime yet, but at least he was able to give 2 trophies that previous coaches couldn't give (in the previous 6 seasons).

Everton is an average club in the premier league and since 2014 till 2021 they have maintained between the 12th positions upwards in the league table but since 2022 till now they have really dropped in performance as they have been within 16, 17 and 15th positions for 3 seasons now that they have been signing new players to the team means they will be looking forward to an improvement next season so am not surprised about the signing of these three players Jesper Lindstrøm, Tim Iroegbunam and Iliman Ndiaye is a sign that they are in preparation for the new season so i wish the team Good luck. Amadou Onana is a good defensive midfielder so definitely his contract with Aston Villa brought a lot of funds for Everton that was the reason they got to sign these three players so the team will certainly improve in performance in the new season.

True, Antony also had personal problems because of which he was not in the best shape for some time, but these are secondary issues that arise only because of lack of experience, because a professional player should not allow this, but be able to clearly separate family and work. A coach should also be able to work with this, to what extent should he be a psychologist who should determine the state of the player and whether he is ready for the match or not. Ten Hag built this team, he knows it better than anyone else, and if he cannot achieve success with these players, then I doubt that anyone else will be able to do it, if ten Hag is fired, then the team will have to be rebuilt again.

The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori will certainly increase competition in the defensive area, he who has been Bologna mainstay will certainly try to secure a place in Arsenal main squad. His presence will certainly threaten Kiwior's position, his chances of playing in the first team will be reduced and leaving temporarily would be the best solution for him. Inter Milan are very serious about showing their interest in Kiwior, Simone Inzaghi really wants Kiwior to strengthen his defense ahead of the new season.

Arsenal will release Kiwior on loan, the decision is very good and as a future investment, if he performs impressively with Inter Milan, Arsenal can increase his selling value to clubs who want to recruit him permanently. Arsenal continues to move to bring in new players to replace the quality of their squad, the failure to win the EPL trophy last season was the most valuable experience for them and improving the quality of the squad is the solution to make up for last season's mistakes.

It's an understanding fact that winning the premier league is not an easy task for a club to achieve. But Manchester United taking that huge step to replace existing players will go a long way in building the team afresh with new squads. So many clubs have had it done in the past, and it paid out fine for them. Manchester United doing the same will not be a big mistake and a bad move for them.

Talking about the building stage, is Manchester United still in the building stage as a team? I am surprised to hear you say that because Manchester United didn't sign a new coach, or sold many of their players. If I should get it right, Ten Hag joined Manchester United as head coach in April 2022.

I still note the fact that, is not easy to win the Premier League title, but most fans of Manchester United would want their club to be among the top 4 clubs of the PL table at least as a big club. Not getting that result as a coach, can lead to one getting sacked as head coach of Manchester united

Manchester City won the PL title consistently(4) at a stretch, it wasn't easy for them but because they had a good coach and quality players they had to beat the odds for two consecutive seasons when everyone thought Arsenal would lift the Premier League trophy for those seasons(2022/2023 and 2023/2024)

It looks like Arsenal has succeeded in bringing in another new player in the transfer market. And this time Arsenal brought in Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. He is a defender who can be expected to strengthen Arsenal's back line. but currently Arsenal actually has quite a lot of quality defenders. So I started to question whose position would be threatened by the presence of Riccardo Calafiori in the Arsenal squad. But I received news that one of the current Arsenal players wants to go to Inter Milan. He is Jakub Kiwior. Because he seems to realize that his playing time next season with Arsenal could be reduced when Arsenal bring in new defenders. So if he wants to remain a player who gets a lot of playing time then he really has to start thinking about moving to a team that is ready to make him a main player and Inter Milan is reportedly the club that now wants this player.

Yeah I think Everton are doing business, they got 83 million after releasing 3 players and spent 31 million on 3 new players meaning Everton have a budget of 50 million for next season but I'm not sure if this is their attempt to strengthen the squad. Last season Everton were fortunate enough to escape the relegation zone even though they were previously punished with a points deduction, but yeah the transfer window isn't closed yet and Everton still have time to get another player. By the way Stake.com is still the main sponsor for Everton for next season? I haven't heard any news about this and usually the contract is renewed every season.

Everton still has quite a lot of funds from the sale of several players. And their biggest sale was indeed Amadou Onana who went to Aston Villa. And it wasn't just Amadou Onana that Everton sold to Aston Villa. But there is also Lewis Dobbin who was also released to Aston Villa. Then Everton also released their central defender, Ben Godfrey, to Atalanta. And currently Everton still has enough freedom with the funds they have to be able to bring in more players. And yes, there is still a lot of work to be done to strengthen the current Everton squad. Because last season Everton almost got relegated. Luckily they can slowly move away from the relegation zone. And I don't think Everton wants that to happen again. So they need to add more players who can be more reliable in their squad.

I feel like if not for the massive point deduction they had last season, they'll have found themselves in a better place and position than the position they finished.
No excuses this time around as Sean Dyche hopes for a better premier league campaign ahead.  I don't think I know the in's they've made too well, but I know that it's essential they do since they've obviously sold out Onana to Aston Villa.

I was also thinking they'll sell out Jared Branthwaite after having such a great first season with the Toffees last season. Heavily linked with Manchester United but they've rejected offers twice from Manchester United. The young lad is said to have refused signing a contract extension if they don't match the figure presented to him by Manchester United.

The funds from the sale of Amadou Onana is not enough of they want to add depth to the squad. Sean Dyche has been deprived of that even during his time with Burnley. Hopefully, Everton does better.

I don't think if in Manchester United, Ten Hag could understand the problem in this team and he can ever try to solve it. Manchester United had bought many players but most of these players they couldn't help Manchester United to have better results and on the other hand, some players had dramas like Sancho and some others were injured.
I think even in the next season if they buy more players we can't expect to see something special from Manchester United.

I have in several occasions complained about ETH attitude, as that has been one of the underlining factor's affecting his coaching style. I remember his ordeal between him and Cristiano Ronaldo, where he clearly showed that he lacks the managerial skills for conflict resolution and management of players that are topnotch in his team, same thing happened between him and jadon Sancho, where he couldn't manage the situation properly and Sancho left. One thing I've observed is the fact that, The choices of players he always gets, don't always turn out to be perfect replacement, as they always struggle to fit in into the team.

So for me, ETH should be getting players that are perfect replacement for the wings he wants replacement or support, just the way pep guardiola gets good players to replace a certain wing and the result will come out perfectly.

Everton have brought in more players in preparation for the EPL next season and Jesper Lindstrøm is their third recruit after previously bringing in Tim Iroegbunam and Iliman Ndiaye. Although only on loan from Napoli for a season, Everton certainly needs his services to strengthen their midfield after Amadou Onana left for Aston Villa.

I think Everton don't want to continue to be in a less advantageous position every season and that's why they also want to continue to add strength even though it's not that strong. Getting fresh funds from the sale of Amadou Onana also really helps the club's finances and I think Everton will be much more prepared next season by improving the club's facilities for its players.

I think this is good because at least Sir Jim Ratcliffe didn't set the particular target for Ten Hag next season and seems Sir Jim Ratcliffe has learn from Manchester United previous mistakes that he realize to build solid team it cannot be done instantly because everything is must be required the process and with not set high target i think Ten Hag can do a better job but do not forget about the fans because although Sir Jim Ratcliffe said Ten Hag will not be under pressure but i think the fans is demanding Manchester United can finish at higher places compared to last season

Ten Hag has realize the situation why Manchester United performing poorly last season this because during last season Manchester United always be facing injured problem it makes Ten Hag very often to played some of Manchester United reserved players because at that time some of Manchester United key players such as Martinez got long term injured and apparently Ten Hag has been learn from his mistakes and starting to buy some of defender players just in case if next season Manchester United face the same problem

About new players of Manchester United recently their new player Leny Yoro has just make his debut with this team when Manchester United fight against Rangers and i think he was performing well to played as the defender and i am sure Leny Yoro will adapt quickly with Ten Hag strategy and currently Manchester United is look for new right back because this position is still lack of players and they have several candidates names to buy such as Noussair Mazraoui, Denzel Dumfries, Amar Dedic and AS Monaco player Vanderson
