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.

Of all the names, only Wan Bissaka is very surprising, even though this player has never caused problems at the club and he has always been able to show his quality for the Red Devils. I think Manchester United management made a mistake by releasing him and Wan Bissaka should not have been sold just like that. But I also won't blame the club's decision and it seems like they really need additional funds to be able to recruit the players they are targeting as has been revealed recently.

In addition, Fullkrug is a promising striker, his awareness to score goals in front of the goal is very capable and I am sure he will be able to compete in the EPL top scorer list next season. There will be at least 15 goals that he can score with the support of other players that West Ham has brought in so far. I hope West Ham can cook well and make the standings list continue to change every week.

We should known that Enzo Maresca   is trying to improve the talented and young players in his squad. so the transfer he is doing shouldn't bother us because he known what he is doing and how to control his squad.  you should not start judging when  you have not seen yet, who told that that the young players he bought won't play even though they are not his starting eleven, but actually the players he bought this season are mostly experience and old players just like  Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Pedro Neto, Tonsi Adaradabayo except from which other player the sign except from Marc Guiu. poch was woeful during the starting of the season but actually he tried and put all his effort in the end of the season and he did it, ending up in a good position on the table, just to stay but it did not work. in my opinion Chelsea will not be able  to sign the contract successfully with Napoli striker Victor Osihmen.

Even last season Chelsea overhauled the team on a large scale because they sold a lot of players and also bought a lot of players. So, in my opinion, if they carry out a major overhaul by bringing in young players to make the transition into a team populated by young players, will it go better this season. I think this is a step behind that they are working on because if they continue to make changes then they will not be ready to compete strongly this season. Didn't we already see that last season, because the peak of their good play came at the end of the competition, of course that doesn't change everything.

Now about Pedro Neto, what do Marescca expect, I know he is still young and has better potential for his individual career, but I hope he can bring better changes to Chelsea.

Pedro Neto is definitely young and exciting. But I honestly think he is over hyped. He is 24 years old, but as exciting as he is, he is not bringing in good enough results which he should be in my opinion. Now I understand that he might play on the winger position, but even after that, for a forward player to have only two goals in 20 matches is just not good enough. It’s like he is the budget version of Antony . I know that goals are not the only contribution that a player can do for his team, but I still think he should score more.

At the same time, the argument is completely trance on its head when we look at the number of assists that he has made. Suddenly it doesn’t look like he is a bad player or as bad as someone might think him to be. Emm, nine assists and two goals in 20 matches is not bad for a 24 year-old, isn't it?

All I am trying to say is it is good that Chelsea have brought him in. But they should not trust him too much at the start. Give him chances and see how he does.

Sometimes I think, the money Todd Boehly has spent for injury pron Pedro & Kiernan Frank, if it was spent on Victor Osimen or at least buying a good goalkeeper, both or one of them would have improved the squad.

The criticisms are right, Ten Hag went and bought second choice players from Bayern Munich and Manchester United fans are jubilating that they have strengthened their squad, for players that don't make the starting line up in their previous clubs. They don't even make the starting line up with their national teams, so what's exactly has Manchester United bought. Maybe Ten Hag is hoping that he is going to improve them, while he hasn't improved any of their old players. Look at Marcus Rashford he has been playing worst since Ten Hag came into Manchester United. We will soon find out how much these players will improve the fortune of Manchester United in the coming weeks. But for me they have gotten nothing here.

That's my point, many people believe that Ten Hags has bought many players to strengthen their performance, but I stated before that I'm not happy that Ten Hags bought two defenders because he is the same manager who was unable to improve their old players, Manchester United has a lot of players who can't perform at their high level since Ten Hags took over as manager, and now they've signed two players, and many people believe that Manchester will improve after signing. Let us see what Manchester United achieves next season, otherwise, I am not expecting a lot from them.

Can someone explain to me the idea behind extending Cole Palmer’s contract ? He just joined last season and signed a 7 year deal. They probably only increased his wages after convincing them. They did the same for Loftus Cheek and the other guy that went to Germany on Loan, Hudson Odoi.

Honestly I don’t think it makes sense. His contract is extended for 9 years. I don’t know if the contracts serves the players better than the team no ?. 

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.

[Frankolala]

I saw the news yesterday and I was very upset with Chelsea. If you have been following Chelsea for a while now, you'll discover that they are very found of that silly decision offering contract beyond reasonable period of time. How on earth will a sensible club offers such a long time contracts for someone who just joined the club not long ago? I don't know if they are being deceived by overhype from last season Palmer performance.I don't know how they'll justify that decision but it doesn't really make any sense. With all they're busy doing during the summer, I'm anticipating the season to start let see how impressive or worse  they'll become.

Palmer is of course delighted with such a contract, says that he is very happy and so on, but I really do not understand why sign such a long contract with a player, of course, if you evaluate it from the point of view that any contract can be terminated, this is appropriate, but why do this if you can simply extend it and not worry about anything. Palmer recalled that he has known Maresca for a long time and they have a very good relationship, apparently this also played an important role in this decision. It is difficult to judge Maresca's decisions for now, let the Championship begin and it will be clear from the first matches how successful his work can be.

Personally, I would say it is a good contract for the young superstar. He will improve in performance as he is getting old and big clubs will be looking for how to bring Palmer into the club. Watch the youngster how he performed last season, he single handedly elevated Chelsea to the 6th position on the table and they are in conference cup.

He is still show his outstanding skills this season by scoring more goals and assist. I will say that since Todd took over Chelsea, Palmer is the best signed player. In the nearest future his praises will be on the lips of all Chelsea fans.

The progress shown by Arsenal in the last 2 seasons is indeed quite impressive, every season there is a change in a positive direction from this team and if you look at that I think it is likely that Arsenal will be much better next season. And for Arteta I think he should be appreciated because what he did was not easy and the matter of defeating Pep Guardiola is not an easy job and everything takes time so currently Arteta is in the process with Arsenal and we just need to be patient until that season comes, I'm sure that will happen if Arsenal continues to consistently make changes like in the last 2 seasons.

From the changes that we have seen so far in the Arsenal team, of course it would not be wrong if many people are more hopeful to see Arsenal become a candidate for champions next season and have the potential to beat more of their rivals in the Premier League. I also see that Arteta himself is still quite enthusiastic about making changes to the Arsenal team so I am not surprised when Arsenal can win right away at the start of the season. However, Pep Guardiola's team will still be a tough competitor for Arsenal next season so Arsenal must remain vigilant against Manchester City.

Indeed, during the two seasons Arsenal showed good development, there were always significant changes. In my opinion, Arsenal's only weakness is that they do not have a striker who consistently scores goals in every match, or in other words, a striker who is hungry for goals. Arsenal does not have that yet, if Arteta gets a striker like that I am sure the percentage of winning the EPL trophy will be much higher. or even win the champions league.

besides that it will be difficult to talk about Man City which is indeed not easy to beat, Pep is still very much relied on in the City squad, he is able to make the competition in the English league even more difficult.
during the two seasons I saw these two clubs showing tight competition in the league standings.

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.

It has been revealed that Gallagher has returned to London and is currently training with Chelsea, negotiations between Chelsea and Atletico are ongoing, but at the moment the teams cannot agree on a transfer fee. I think if Atletico were more serious about getting Gallagher, they would not have let him return to London to train with Chelsea, so perhaps this transfer will not happen.
And Plumer's new contract is impressive, it shows how much they value him, and do not want to allow him to move to another team, but 9 years seems too much.

Honestly I don’t think it makes sense. His contract is extended for 9 years. I don’t know if the contracts serves the players better than the team no ?.

Maybe I don't know how to leverage on such value, but I understand that some clubs can. I know that longer contracts on higher wages means any potential buying club will have to be really ambitious to buy the player out of his contract.

Sometimes I feel this is a display of selfishness from the management. They don’t even consider the players career.

As regards to Palmer's new contract, IMO a salary raise due to performance is not a bad idea as he was the best forward or the best player for Chelsea last season and even as we speak, there should always be a reward for good work. 

But They are also trying to exploit a loophole in Financial fair play rules that allows you to spread huge amounts over a longer period of years. Also, as you have rightly suspected it also gives them the leverage of holding on to players as regards to market value. Imagine a player like palmer leaving for other big teams next season with about 7 years left on his contract, Very huge some. The new owner and board directors want the money they have invested because a lot has been invested.

[dezoel]

Of all the names, only Wan Bissaka is very surprising, even though this player has never caused problems at the club and he has always been able to show his quality for the Red Devils. I think Manchester United management made a mistake by releasing him and Wan Bissaka should not have been sold just like that. But I also won't blame the club's decision and it seems like they really need additional funds to be able to recruit the players they are targeting as has been revealed recently.

In addition, Fullkrug is a promising striker, his awareness to score goals in front of the goal is very capable and I am sure he will be able to compete in the EPL top scorer list next season. There will be at least 15 goals that he can score with the support of other players that West Ham has brought in so far. I hope West Ham can cook well and make the standings list continue to change every week.

In the upcoming season, situation is going to be interesting for the few clubs because we are having too many changes and things could be not easy for clubs to keep themselves at the top level West Ham having troubling time in last season due to poor quality but now in this season we are having too many good names into their squad which will surely improve the performance and quality of the team, and they could be able to fight back for the top ranks because they surely need to be stayed in upper half of the league table.

Wan Bissaka and Fulkrug are good purchases with these things could be on better level even too many Surprises about few players because mostly were not expecting them to be here, but they are now part of this club for their contribution.

And Plumer's new contract is impressive, it shows how much they value him, and do not want to allow him to move to another team, but 9 years seems too much.

Last season he managed to lift Chelsea performance even though he had not been in the squad for long time, Palmer arrival was the answer to their attack line which was previously quite blunt, so it was indeed appropriate for him to get a contract extension and also a salary increase from Chelsea, but in my opinion, Chelsea should have been more inclined to increase his salary as a form of appreciation for his performance last season, but extending the contract to 9 years is of course a big gamble that Chelsea should not take at this time with Palmer who has only been with Chelsea for one season, because we don't know how he will perform in 9 years later, Palmer showed significant performance in his first season but most young players often experience inconsistencies in the following seasons, especially when there are coaching transitions and changes in their squad.

Conor Gallagher was previously at Atletico Madrid, but now he has returned to the Chelsea training camp even though he is in a disappointed condition after previously he was only one step away from joining Atletico Madrid, at the moment we don't know why he returned to Chelsea, but it seems like the two teams haven't found an agreement to realize the transfer, especially since it is reported that Chelsea wants Joao Felix or Samuel Omorodion as conditions.

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.

You know for the past two seasons now Mikel Arteta have shown resilience for Arsenal because even though he didn't win the premier league but it's not also easy to come out second in the league table for two consecutive seasons, he is optimistic despite that the challenge is becoming tougher for him but I see determination in him to bring a trophy for Arsenal and he can achieve that if he puts more efforts than he did last season but talking about the champions league i don't think Arsenal is prepared to win the champions league yet and for the fact that there are still more stronger competitors in the champions league makes it difficult for Arsenal to hope for a champions league triumph but they should still try their best to upgrade their performance this season. The problem with Arsenal is that they always have a good start but to maintain in same energy is the problem they have so they should try I do things differently this season for the growth of the club and to entertain their fans.

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.

The fierce competition between these two teams will make the EPL even more interesting, especially since several other teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are able to provide surprises this season. Arsenal are very eager to win the EPL trophy because in the last two seasons they have always failed to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal transfer activity is also quite good, Arteta has succeeded in convincing several quality players to join his squad. Arsenal are on the rise after spending big in the summer transfer market, they need to maintain their best performance from the start of the season until the end if they want to win the EPL trophy from Manchester City.

There will be other challenges in the Premier League, not just Manchester City and Arsenal. Many clubs will try to stop Guadiola from winning the league title this season. Chelsea is signing many young players and will perform well in the league, even if they do not have the opportunity to win. they will try and end in top 4,  and I think they are on race for Osimhen and if Chelsea achieve Osimhen this season before the Windows close.

I feel Chelsea will be stronger in the striker role since they lack finishers on the pitch and struggle to win goals, but if they are given the opportunity to bring Osimhen, they will undoubtedly win games and fight with the other large clubs in the league. Arteta has tried many seasons to win the EPL but has yet to defeat Manchester City, and if they don't get a better striker who is more talented, they won't succeed against Manchester City because Guadiola is a very experienced coach who has read all the coaches in the EPL and knows how he can do and defeat them on the pitch, so Arteta needs to use another strategy to capture Guadiola plan.

This is actually a form of Chelsea's protection for Palmer because after all, with the current conditions and by looking at the performance that Palmer is their only successful purchase in recent seasons because his performance has always increased, it seems that the release date will be a little easier to break into other big clubs if they are interested in Palmer, especially since his value is also still quite cheap before when Chelsea managed to bring Palmer from Manchester City so they forced to renew the contract even though until now the contract still remains long enough just to increase the value of a Palmer.
Chelsea have the right to do that and we don't need to be disappointed even though their current actions are actually unnecessary but they already have a policy for that and they are free to do it.
It's just that with this, Todd must start thinking about his money from now on because if something like this continues to happen then sooner or later their finances will be in trouble later.

It has been revealed that Gallagher has returned to London and is currently training with Chelsea, negotiations between Chelsea and Atletico are ongoing, but at the moment the teams cannot agree on a transfer fee. I think if Atletico were more serious about getting Gallagher, they would not have let him return to London to train with Chelsea, so perhaps this transfer will not happen.

There has been no agreement on negotiations on Gallagher so he decided to return to London and I think Atletico Madrid will not succeed in recruiting him this season. Though the presence of Gallagher in the squad can help Atletico Madrid become stronger but this has not yet been realized. As you say if they are serious, maybe Gallagher is not left to fly to London because it will cause speculation about the future that survives or leaves this season.

Chelsea have to secure Plumer because there are many clubs that may be monitoring him. Plumer appearance is also arguably good last season so Chelsea don't want to take risks. Chelsea are building the strength of the team for the better and they must try to maintain players who contributed last season.

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.

Because after all, the current rumors are that Atletico are also negotiating to bring in Kante. But at least, if I consider about age, then of course it would be better to bring in Gallagher, because Gallagher's age is also young compared to Kante who is approaching retirement age. At least, there is still time for them to reach an agreement, and anything can still happen for Atletico's success to bring in Gallagher or Kante or maybe not at all.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

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.

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.

[tygeade]

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.

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.
