You're talking about one of the richest team in the world and currently the biggest in France, so you don't expect then to spend little on players, because apart maintaining the position of winning the Ligue 1 title they still have to strengthen their club against other top European clubs in major competitions and to attract top quality players it requires on to spend big lately, due to the recent inflation of the price for players.
 Well talking about the Ligue 1 i don't see that as a big task for PSG this season, because they dominated the league for many years now and their current owners the QSI have won it for 9 times since their takeover in 2011, they even won if under Christophe Galtier last season talk more of when they've got a world class manager that's managed several big clubs, in their team this season, Luis Enrique is an expereience coach that's won major trophies and even if he doesn't deliver the Champions league title for PSG, they're sure of winning the league title this season.

My worry is not about Napoli as a club but the manager because I'm having a big doubt if he'll be able to defend the trophy Luciano Spalletti won before he resigned he's a good coach with experience but my doubt is based on the fact that he's got few trophies in his career and it's been years since he won the last one,so defending their title this season might be a heavy task on him this season.
 They've made huge mistake in their last match and I don't think they have to drop any point further more if they want to defend their title against the likes of Acmilan and inter this season, well the league just started and 3points is not quite difficult to cover up but to be on the safer side, they don't have to loose anymore point especially when their rivals are very fierce this season and are not thinking of dropping points anytime soon.

I'm not suprised at how he's beginning to gradually excel at Barcelona as a  manager, I mean he's a club legend and has had a good experience as a player for the team, so that's a plus to his managerial career at Barcelona, and I think he'll make a great start manager as he did as a player, some seasons ago, alot of Barcelona fans were complaining abou his incompetence and said he's not a suitable candidate for the role and their team needs a more experienced manager but I told them to be patience with him, cause he needs time to build his team and start succeeding and i was right after all cause the club's patience with Xavi is beginning to pay off, and one thing I like about him is that he's built his team with a good number of young talented players and give them opportunity to shine on the pitch.
  Well I think it would be quite uneasy to find a player that would replace Messi but I believe their are young talents out there that are still yet to be discovered and Barcelona as a team are good at discovering such talents and help bring them up through their academy just like they did with Messi, well I hope they discover the next Messi sooner.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is one of the biggest team and are among those competing very well to challenge the champions Bayern Munich over the years, therefore whether Freiburg performs well this season or not the bookies would always rate Dortmund over them, I left for me I expect Dortmund to eaily beat them with a good goal margin because they got a better squad and the stats shows that they're favorites to win the match.
 If you check their stats you'll see that Dortmund have been very dominant in their past meetings and have won 3 of the past 5 meetings, their last meeting was a 5-1 victory in favour of Dortmund and the opposition team only managed to beat Dortmund twice in 2021 but this is 2023 and I expect Dortmund to win like they did last year and top Freiburg who are sitted 8th on the table and toping Dortmund with a point.

If they plan to do well this season with Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans who couldn't secure a playing time under Sir Alex Ferguson, then I think the club is a big joke and really needs the glaziers out for things to turn around, because the club has been so poorly run to the extent that it's got to this point, where they'll partner an old man and a finished player as there starting CB options till there main options recover from injury.
 I feel so pity for united because if these are the available options in that position to face Brighton after the international break then they should expect another thrashing from De Zerbi's team this year,  fans better pray Martinez and lindelof are both fit before then if not they'll end up being embarrassed and backlashed this season by rival fans,all I can say is that I feel so sorry for Erik Ten Hags managerial career.

Over the years the match between both clubs have been tough and I won't say Leverkusen where lucky to beat Bayern Munich away from home in 2019 if you check the record you'll see that the mach ended 1-2 and at a point they played with one man down because their player defender Jonathan Tah got booked with a red card in the 81st minute of the game and Bayern Munich failed to turn the game around when they had the opportunity to equalize and win them, moreover they scored the opener in that match and even scored another immediately after Bayern Munich equalized.
 Well, of a truth Bayern Munich is more superior regardless of whether they lost at home in 2019 and are still preferred as the most superior team in the league this season, but let's not right off Leverkusen cause they've been impressive so far and could win their next match after the international break, i would had love to predict a straight win for Bayern Munich but there's this doubt I have that it would end up being a draw match.

I think those are mere rumours and liverpool won't think of swapping a player they got for a huge fee last season with a player with the outscored, of course Nunez had about 11goals in the previous season whereas Félix had just four, we all know both clubs underperformed last season but atleast his performance was better than that of João Félix  and he even had more champions league goal than Félix last season as well.
 I agree with you @ trendcoin because not every player find it very easy to perform well on their debut season some take a while to adapt unto their environment and when they finally do they'll be at their best, just as Nunez is this season, he's a very good player, good with making quick runs and keep himself in position were he'll easily score goals and I believe this season would be better than his debut season, and we'll get to see more of the best of Nunez in EPL this season.

The Saudi's are fully aware that the European leagues have been developed for long and have gone far in soccer culture with lots of fans and viewers attracted to it as well as interesting tournaments like the Champions league, Europa and other domestic league competitions, and they're not capable of competing with them because their league is just developing and they lack quality country side footballers with good experience,  they're aware of the huge salaries offered by most clubs to keep their players, so since they're financially balanced they decided to use their financial strength to lure some players with good experience in European football to their league, to help them gain popularity, develope the league and also make it more competitive, and so far it's yield good results, for instance the finals between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, it was so interesting that many news channels covered it, and alot of people are beginning to pick Interesr in supporting some clubs in the Saudi league and even betting on the as well.

They'll unlikely make the 1st position in their group but it would be so suprising so see them finish second position in a group that has two giants Bayern Munich and Manchester United well it would be very tough to beat Bayern but they could have a fair chance against Manchester United, maybe get a point at home, that's why they blistered their defence line to help them challenge better, though the players are not very impressive in the Champions league, but they're players with good experience in the EPL and are good addition to Galatasaray cause they'll help them against those big clubs in their group.
 It would be a good achievement this season for Okan Buruk to progress into the rounds of 16, but to be realistic it's not going to come easy, because Manchester United might be under performaning currently in the Premier but once their squad is complete and the injured players get back then it would be very uneasy for Galatasaray to defeat them.

It so confusing and I beginning to think the position is cured and some people that's played in that wing are affected by it, first was their legend Ryan Giggs, then they lost one of their talented prospect Mason Greenwood due to same accusations of human assault and now Antony,  i wonder who would be next after Antony's issue is settled and I hope it doesn't affect his career like it did to Greenwood last season, I feel sorry for him cause he's already dropped out of Brazil's National team.
 Well let's see how Manchester United would handle this situation if they'll stand by their player or end up facing the same situation that happened last season with Mason Greenwood, we all know how the Manchester United board suck at handling situations like this and I hope they'll be able to handle this one properly and not like that of Greenwood.

To be honest when he came into the Barcelona senior team from the youth side, he was very impressive and caught the attention of the fans and everyone thought they've got a young and talented prospect that would replace Messi but Fati didn't leave up to fans expectations and their were times he was sidelined due to injury, last season was the highest he featured for Barcelona he was featured in 50 matches compared to other seasons when he didn't even participate in close to 30.
 I feel he's aware of De Zerbi's love for youth players and know that he'll get lots of playing time and develope well under De Zerbi at Brighton and that's why he choose to move over there instead of staying at Barcelona to fight for a spot of which it would be uneasy cause Xavi have other preferred options for his position, therefore moving to Brighton could be regarded as the best decision he made for his career cause he'll develope more under his new coach, welcomed by the fans  and would get more playing time at Brighton.

Im suprised at the extent this Saudi sides go to attract top European club players into their league, £215 is a very huge  and tempting over for a player and liverpool would be having a second thought on cashing out on their star player, but it would be a very tough decision to make, because they really need Mo Salah in their team this season, he's been so important for them this season and I feel this is the wrongest time to make such tempting over, leaving Liverpool without any option for replacement if they finally decide to cash in on Salah because the transfer window is already closed for European club sides.
 Well before the window closed Jurgen addressed the situation saying that a deal won't go through and Salah is very important to the club this season, but the Saudi side have not given up yet and are doing all they can to get Salah this summer, it's not quite easy though but  since they've doubled the offer I'm waiting to see Liverpool's decision, if they'll change their mind and cash in on the huge money offered.

It is very true that Realmadrid would had been a very good destination for Haaland if he decides to leave Manchester City but theirs still a possibility that he would had as well ended up at PSG given that they're very financially capable of getting him into their team, we've seen in recent times that clubs that are financially strong easily attracts top players into their Club, PSG is not a small club and would offer him the opportunity in the Champions League as Realmadrid would also, moreover before the likes of Neymar and Messi moved over there they're several other top stars like  Ibrahimovic and Cavani that's succeeded in the club, I feel Messi and Neymar didn't leave up to expectations that's they had to leave and more Neymar's was due to his numerous injuries, I don't see PSG as a club that ruin players career, because over there a player is sure of winning the league trophy and standing out is based on a players individual performance and not the club's fault.

I think you're right, given the number of times he's been injured in space of 2 to 3 years and one thing about being injured is that it keeps players away from the pitch for a while and most times the don't perform according to their potential when they return, you'll see them declining gradually unitil they're totally finished and would be forced to retire early.
 Just like it happened at Realmadrid with Eden Hazard, who had several injury crisis while he was at the team, and each year everyone expected him to have a better comeback but Hazard kept declining and even became worst of a player, which forced him to retire at an early age, well I don't wish thst for Paul Pogba as well he's a great player and I think still has lots to offer to Juve but the way things are going he's become very prone to injury which is very bad for his career.

Tuchel is left with a decision of sacrificing the league match for winning the match against Manchester United in the Champions League competition this is a big test for the club this season and I'll be very suprised if they end up winning both considering  Manchester United's poor form in the EPL, well both teams have had their history in the UCL and you'll be shocked to see united playing with their full potential.
 However dropping his key players might cost him the league match against Leverkusen because they're currently in a very good form as well as toping the league, so I think Tuchel would need full power to win them, except maybe he's wanting to grab a point from the match and face Manchester United which is one of their Arch rivals in the UCL with his full power. Anyways Tuchel has had experience playing against united while he was in the EPL so he aware of their potential and the task ahead is not a very tough one.

The thing I that their squad is filled with young and talented players but most of them lack the experience in Epl and even though they've got an experienced coach if the players are not executing his tactics properly on the pitch then they're not going to get good result, but sometimes it's not all about spending heavily on plenty players if you get the wrong players that doesn't fit the system then it's going to be an issue on the clubs performance.
 And that's why they not been impressive so far this season despite the money they spent, left for me I feel they over spent and would end up paying wage bills for the wrong players that were not necessarily needed instead of focusing on their main issues which is the attack, they needed a good striker that would strengthen their attack line but instead decided to concentrate on the midfield area

I feel sorry for him because this injury crisis might end up ruining his football career and make him retire early just like Hazard, it's so sad to see fine talented players football career cut short due to series of injuries and I hope Paul recovers soon and get back to his form, if not they club would seek a replacement for him sooner.
 Well according to the news, the due to his physical issues the club director Cristiano Guintoli would soon have a meeting with Pogba's agent concerning the rediscussion of his contract, his contract worth €8m ends in June 2025 but the club would want Pogba to reduce his salary but would hand him a longer deal and he could reach the €8m through performance related bonus, now this is due to the fact that Pogba has featured in only few matches and the club can't afford to pay him heavily while he spends most of the season on injury.

Paul pogba was and still is a very interesting player but it's just that he's injury prone and it's made his performance decline because he's lacked more playing time his situation is very bad for a club because their some important matches where the coach would need him to feature in, but he's sidelined due to injury crisis.
 I bet they would had come running after pogba if not for the injury crisis he's had, too bad it's now affecting his playing time in his country as well, this was once a player that was very hot in the market 4-5 years back and even sort after by top European clubs,but is now nothing to talk much about due to  his long term injury crisis, and when he was moving back to Juventus I felt he was  going to turn into a more extraordinary player but he killed my expectations ......

He's made the best decision he feel is good for his carrer and that's what matter, so every other people's opinions about his choice is a waste of time, because everyplayer have a right to choose which team he wishes to belong to and I think moving back to his old club is not a bad idea, because he'll end up his career as a legend in a club that will still offer him champions league football before he retires.
 I don't know his reason for rejecting to play at the Saudi league and lose an opportunity to earn more money, but maybe he remembered the memories he had at Sevilla and choose to retire at his boyhood club, to help them perform well as well as recreating such good memories, the club fans would he so happy for his loyalty to the club as well as being happy to have him back.
