Arsenal agree deal to sign Bournemouth captain Neto on loan

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan deal, the PA news agency understands.

The Gunners’ move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.

Neto’s arrival in north London will pave the way for England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent move to Southampton.

Bournemouth signed Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on a season-long loan deal on Thursday, with the Spain international having extended his contract at Stamford Bridge by a year to 2026.

As much as I agree with you, I can't help but want to point that to you that a club winning or losing after signing so many players is actually possible, winning depends on the type of players the club in question signed, and this brings me to the question, werent those new signed players, or some of them perhaps, on board when Brighton beat Manchester united Last week?

Of course, Manchester United was defeated by Brighton with their new players by a score of 2-1, which was not like the previous season when Brighton defeated Manchester United 1-3 at Old Trafford and Manchester United won them 0-2 away, I wasn't shocked that Brighton beat Manchester United this season, due to the fact they signed more players to improve their performance. Unlike Liverpool, who did not add any players to their squad this season, they still have the same players from the previous season, when they were unable to defeat Manchester United. And whenever Manchester United faced a top club like Liverpool, they were serious about their games, making people wonder if this is the same Man U that isn't in better shape. If Manchester United beat Liverpool this weekend, it would not be a luck, they are capable of winning the game.

It was a less than impressive end for Jurgen Klopp when he left Liverpool, a decline in performance towards the end of the season made Liverpool unable to win the EPL and Europa League titles. Jurgen Klopp has left the club, now Arne Slot takes over his position. Liverpool's performance under Slot is still the same as when handled by Jurgen Klopp, the players who are used to the tactics used by Klopp will combine with the tactics currently used by Slot. Liverpool will try to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal in the title race, Arne Slot certainly has no trouble handling Liverpool because the players can quickly understand the strategy he has used since the season started.

Arne Slot only needs to improve several important lines in the team so that Liverpool can compete again with Manchester City and Arsenal who still look strong this season in the Premier League because with the capital of players who are used to the old tactics that were once used by Jurgen Klopp, of course Arne Slot can see the positive side in order to improve it in a better direction so that the Liverpool team becomes stronger this season. However, with the level of competition in the Premier League still so fierce this season, of course it will not be easy for any coach to implement a new strategy that he has never tried in pre-season, so Arne Slot himself will also be quite careful with implementing his strategy at Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta confirms that new signing Mikel Merino injured his shoulder in his first training session. “Gabi landed on top of him and it looks like he has a small fracture probably. It doesn’t look good.”
https://x.com/ed_aarons/status/1829495413323309377

Not an ideal start to his Arsenal career.

Merino gets a small shoulder fracture. It needs around 3 - 4 months for him to recover, or longer than it. It's such a disappointment to see our new player gets serious injury like this. How unlucky we're seeing we missed Timber on his first game, then merino on his first training session.

This injury means Partey, Jorginho and even Rice must stay fit or we is gonna struggle to compete for the title race against City and Liverpool.

Tomorrow is week 3 for the Premier League.

Arsenal vs Brighton - It's an interesting match but we know Brighton at the beginning of the season always became violent and won their usual matches inconsistently, but in this match it is interesting that Arsenal remains strong and it is difficult for Brighton to beat them.

Man United vs Liverpool - Although the host Red Devils odds are too high so this is a risk to bet on, Erik ten Hag's team is still difficult to rise so trust Liverpool more with odds @1.85.

I don't really see a chance for Man United, still doubtful about this team.

Arsenal is one of the teams that got full six points in the two games they had and they were having perfect performance and a good start so far in the Premier League which makes us think it won't be hard for Arsenal to win this match against Brighton since Brighton is not a strong team too.
But regardless of the station in Brighton, we can't forget that Brighton is also a team that got six points to the first match which can make it a little bit more challenging for Arsenal.

Yeh I read this article just now a little unfortunate for Mikel Merino where he has to miss a few weeks due to this injury, his luck is still unlucky at the beginning of this like Leny Yoro must be injured before the official match starts.

Hopefully this injury will not affect his performance, maybe he will be out for so long but Arsenal's midfield has never lacked many fit players.

[beerlover]

There is no significant change in Liverpool's game, they are still solid, I agree with you that Liverpool's new coach still has a positive impact and Liverpool's game also still applies the tactics played by Klopp, so I hope they remain consistent with their game until the end of the season to tighten the hunt for the Premier League title this season, regarding Man United for this season they play no changes whatsoever even though there are many new players there, but all of that has no impact on their game pattern and even bad results always befall them.

Klopp started well last season and was hoping Liverpool could do well in either the English Premier League or the Europa League, but the late performances have been underwhelming. It was beyond our expectation that they would suddenly perform so badly at the end. This season Klopp left Liverpool and a new manager took charge of Liverpool but in many tactics we see Liverpool using Klopp's tactics. Klopp has basically been in charge of Liverpool for a long time and every player is familiar with his tactics so it is not possible for a manager to suddenly come in and change the entire strategy of the club. Whoever is currently in charge of Liverpool will be expected to at least perform better this season than last season for Liverpool.

Honestly after he mentioned he will be retiring, the team didn't do that much justice to him neither, between him and Salah arguing openly, and him not getting the results he wants, it was clear that Liverpool just didn't care since he was leaving so there wasn't anything he can do. This resulted with Klopp probably regretting letting it known beforehand, he should have kept that to himself and just let the management know, but I am sure that even in that case he would be probably leaked and use that as selling news and make money.

In the end, we are talking about something that will take a while, if that's the case then we are going to end up with Klopp having a bad season right after that retirement announcement, so Arne Slott doesn't have any arguments about it, he is not retiring and players should try their very best this season. Liverpool looks like one of the best teams in the league and that is why I believe that we are going to see them do fine.

If Manchester United beat Liverpool this weekend, it would not be a luck, they are capable of winning the game.

Manchester United's defeat against Brighton was no surprise. Brighton team is very strong this season. The players are confident and there is a strong bond between the players. On the other hand, the condition of Manchester United team is shaky like last season. After Hojlund suffered an injury, Manchester United's attacking weaknesses became more apparent.

Also, I was never satisfied with Ten Hag's match strategy. Last season I also criticized Ten Hag's match strategy. Why Ten Hag wasn't fired is beyond me. I don't expect anything better from Ten Hag this season either.

Manchester United's performance would have been a bit stronger if Hojlund was in the squad. Apart from Rashford, there is no perfect striker in Manchester United's squad. Moreover, another wrong decision of Ten Hag in the first few matches was to take Bruno Fernandes in the striking position. He is an attacking midfielder. Thanks to Bruno's excellent performance, we saw Manchester United's midfield stay stable. Manchester United's performances in both midfield and forward positions have been unstable since Bruno was brought in as CF.

I think any player can get injured regardless. Merino has just been injured even before kicking a ball for them.
O'Reilly got injured in his debut game for Brighton.
Timber got injured for Arsenal in his first league game last season.

The list continues, you can always buy Everytime, the team and Manager need to look inwards for solution and for squad health. What's the point of having players that might never play enough.

Some reasonable clubs would bring in a replacement for the injured player before the transfer window ends tonight. I don’t really know the plan of Arteta and the club but with the series of competitions that will go on this season, Arsenal will be out of depth if they don’t bring in another midfielder.

Don't forget Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund from Man United who also couldn't start the season due to injury. Even they both got injured at the same time in the friendly game against Arsenal, and what's even sadder because of that incident Leny Yoro couldn't immediately feel his first season in the Premier League.

It's true as you said, injuries can hit anyone and at any time, no exception if it is caused by a friendly match or even during a training session.

[RockBell]

Arsenal will host their next game against Brighton, and based on both teams' performances, Arsenal is the favorite to win, many people believe that Brighton could be a threat to Arsenal because they defeated Manchester United in their previous game, but I am confident that Arsenal will defeat Brighton without conceding a goal.

Arsenal is prepared against Brighton so there is no way we are going to lose this game There is A lot of assurance that we to win the game, we are in a very stable position so we have a lot of stances to win any game that is what is needed we are getting there gradually, and the fact they are comparing us with Manchester united we are not in the same category and them defeating Manchester united does not mean that they can defeat us. I know people who know Arsenal very well will know the outcome of that game.

On the other hand, I think it is too early to predict that Manchester United will lose to Liverpool because Liverpool always struggled to beat them. However, if I'm not mistaken, Liverpool weren't able to beat Manchester United in the Premier League last season, and when they met in the FA Cup, Manchester United eliminated Liverpool in extra time, so we shouldn't expect Liverpool to beat Manchester United by three goals because Manchester United didn't add many players to improve their performance last season and they've already added about ten players to the squad, If Manchester United defeats Liverpool, I won't be surprised and won't call it lucky because we can't expect a team to lose games after signing so many players.

it is early if Manchester United can lose to Brighton then they are losing to Liverpool for sure because there is no way they can win against Liverpool, and if they have been struggling to beat Manchester United am sure this period is going to be different, last season is the past so Liverpool will change against them this time around, expect anything from Liverpool because they are going to be fully ready to play against Manchester united there is nothing anyone will say and tell me that united or the red devil will win against Liverpool, from the odd self there is no chance they will, I don't even think the game will end draw.

Good signing for Arsenal as Aaron Ramsdel’s replacement to be the Arsenal second choice goalkeeper.
Bournemouth has made the right move to get quick replacements so that they will not regret given Neto to Arsenal on loan.

For Arsenal transfer updates, I am expecting more news because I think Arsenal might have a new winger before the final minutes of this transfer window because they have been linked to several wingers which I think they will consider signing one. Nevertheless, I will expect a striker deal as well because it has started showing in their performances that they need a reliable top 9 because Jesus has started with his injury times, and Havertz is not reliable and they have sold Nketiah to Crystal Palace.

Arsenal has  been the challengers for the Premier League title in the last two seasons and this shows a significant improvement in Arsenal performance compared to the previous seasons, Arsenal gave Arteta great trust in building their main squad but in this case I think there are still problems that have not been solved perfectly, consistency is still the main problem and also a classic so far, they are often able to show extraordinary performances when the league starts but when Arsenal have entered the busy schedule in their matches, then we can see if they often lost important points and this is what Arteta should fix at this time.

Arteta this season has improved their defense and also their midfield by bringing in two players who have quite good quality, but I don't know what causes Arteta to seem to forget that their current attacking line also needs improvement, Arsenal indeed have wingers who are quite fast and have a good goalscoring instinct but if you look at the depth of the attacking line they have, of course they are not qualified because there is no suitable reserve for replace Saka If he is injured, in addition to that after the departure of Van Persie a few seasons ago, Arsenal does not have a qualified and worthy central striker to rely on in their front line.

As Arsenal supporters, we are quite happy when Arteta and Edu strengthen the depth of their squad. Only me, they have released some of their players. Rowe has left, Nketiah is just waiting to move. Arsenal have released one pure striker and one winger, but they do not have an ideal replacement. If Xaka is injured, maybe Reis Nelson will replace him. Even then, he is rarely given much playing time. If G.Jesus recovers, he can be shifted to play on the wing. To be honest, for me, Martinelli's skills are not as prominent as Saka, but he is the type of player who is willing to work hard and a plus point for him. Havertz is inconsistent as a center forward, he often has difficulty scoring goals. He does not have the instinct as a predator in the penalty box, that's why his performance is inconsistent. While Trossard, for me he is suitable as a supersub player. Often, he becomes the winner when played even though he is a substitute player. Well, Arsenal does not have a goal getter like Van Persie. In fact, he moved to MU. Midfield and defense, okay, that's pretty cool for me. and as a Gunners supporter, we want Arsenal to have a striker who can be a pinisher. as you said, when the League started Arsenal's performance skyrocketed. but unfortunately, towards the end of the competition they often seemed to run out of gas. but this season Arteta has some pretty ideal backup players, unfortunately they don't have a pure striker.

I don't think it will be easy for Arsenal to win the match. I cannot consider the Brighton team to be weak in any way. Brighton management has tried their best to strengthen the squad. And in the first two matches we saw Brighton team perform well. More importantly, Brighton's players are more confident after defeating Manchester United. They will be looking to win against Arsenal.

But it's Arsenal's home match. So beating Arsenal team will not be easy. There is no doubt that this match will be very competitive. But I cannot confidently say that Arsenal will win the match. Brighton also have chances to win.

There is a lot of analysis regarding this week's hot match between Manchester United vs Liverpool. Liverpool came to Old Trafford stadium with two consecutive wins with the same score in both matches.
In the third match of the 2024/2025 Premier League season, I am sure Liverpool can overcome Manchester United's game. Not because some Manchester United players are injured, but because Erik Ten Hag's strategy has not changed much.
I predict Liverpool's victory with a narrow score. You?

Even though Arsenal is the favorite to win against Brighton,  I will not go all-in in such a bet because something might go funny at the end of the day. Brighton is not an easy team to beat normally especially this season that it seems they cam prepared. In their first match this season, they flogged Everton 0:3 in the home of the later, a match many person thought will end in a draw or in the favour of the host. The notable thing about that match was the Brighton won the match and still played far better than Everton to prove that the winning was not a mistake.

Arsenal have not been doing badly too this season as they have gotten 6 points from two matches and amoung the top teams in the league table. I therefore think that the match will be a very tough one and any team that wins will do that by a narrow margin

Well the match might be a close one between the two on papers but I am very unsatisfied by what I saw in Manchester United matches so far and I am routing for a defeat home in Old Trafford for Manchester United.
Liverpool is doing better even though they have a new coach and no additional recruited player except Chiesa which I don't think he will be able to play in that game.
Manchester United is doing a little bit better in Old Trafford, yet they aren't that top to compete LFC in my opinion.

[len01]

Arsenal vs Brighton

This is just a prediction of the possible line up. If later both teams really use this line up and formation, it is likely that a draw could occur. Looking at the predicted line up, Brighton can be more free to control attacks through the left or right wing and use this strategy more often because Arsenal weakness is only attacks from the side.
However, Arsenal current defense cannot be underestimated because Arteta has improved and strengthened Arsenal current defensive performance. But unfortunately Gabriel Jesus is doubtful and absent from the match.

My score prediction is 2-2. If Arsenal can score early with 2 goals in the first half, Arsenal can have a great chance of winning.



Possible line up

[SmartCharpa]

Will Sancho join Chelsea? The answer will be seen in the next few hours.

It seems that Chelsea are still not satisfied with the current mega squad and on the other hand it seems that Sancho is also not comfortable at Manchester United. Therefore, Sancho chose to join Chelsea even though it was on loan and everything is just waiting for a decision from Manchester United.

The offer has been submitted and must be agreed upon at the latest today considering the transfer deadline. So once again Manchester United will lose their player who performed well with Dortmund last season and it is no wonder they will continue to do this every time they handle their players.

Sancho did not participate in their previous two games, and Chelsea showed interest to sign him after gathering a lot of players, but my question is, will Sancho get the chance to play for Chelsea with their current squad? I don't think going to Chelsea will be the best move for him because no players have joined Chelsea and become better, the players seem to be weak after going to the club. Furthermore, I saw the news that Ten Hags is still happy with Sancho and expects him to stay with Manchester United this season, but we'll see what happens in the next few hours.

Also, I was never satisfied with Ten Hag's match strategy. Last season I also criticized Ten Hag's match strategy. Why Ten Hag wasn't fired is beyond me. I don't expect anything better from Ten Hag this season either.

Manchester United's performance would have been a bit stronger if Hojlund was in the squad. Apart from Rashford, there is no perfect striker in Manchester United's squad. Moreover, another wrong decision of Ten Hag in the first few matches was to take Bruno Fernandes in the striking position. He is an attacking midfielder. Thanks to Bruno's excellent performance, we saw Manchester United's midfield stay stable. Manchester United's performances in both midfield and forward positions have been unstable since Bruno was brought in as CF.

To be honest, I'm also not impressed with Ten Hag's method. I believe Ten Hags retained his position at Manchester United because the FA Cup title he won last season impressed the management, to extend his contract for another season, since Ten Hag's started using Bruno as the center forward, the midfield hasn't been as stable as before, Ten Hag's has signed a new striker and has refused to start him in every game. I'm not expecting much from Ten Hag's this season, and if they want to achieve something good this season, he shouldn't be starting Rashford in some matches, at least with Garnacho, we can see some changes.

Do anyone even think Manchester United will win Liverpool? Anyone who is placing a bet in support of Manchester United is just wasting money, because I don’t know how Manchester United will be able to win Liverpool With their current performance. it’s not really going to be an easy win for Liverpool, but I know it’s going to be a win for them. Ten hag strategy isn’t really working for him, and he doesn’t really want to change his strategy, at least if you try something and it doesn’t work, then change the strategy, but Ten hag is not ready to change, which is really affecting the club.
