I think it's time for Manchester United to trust their current academy players more who have good abilities, so that this will enable Manchester United to save money but still be able to form a strong team in the future, there are several talented young players from Manchester United who Currently, this could be a mainstay for Ten Hag next season, including giving Greenwood another opportunity to play again .

According to several newspapers, it is said that one of the reasons the club management still trusts Ten Hag to coach Manchester United is because Ten Hag will try to play young players from the academy and build a squad with a good basic foundation. There are many talented young players from the academy and if we look at Manchester United's current performance, I think there is no problem with giving young players from their academy the opportunity to join the United squad and this will add to their experience and their mentality to compete in the EPL.

Man United and the coach's agent just need to finalize the existing additional agreements. Along with this agreement, Ten Hag also received positive changes in his coaching staff. Man United has prepared various forms of support so that the coach can be even better. In the last few days, Man United has reportedly been looking for new staff members. The Red Devils are currently negotiating with their former striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will later be assigned as Ten Hag's assistant. Man United also hopes that the latest steps can provide the best results for Ten Hag.

So far, Ten Hag has always been able to prevent Man United from fasting for a title for two consecutive seasons. However, the Red Devils are still unable to appear as main competitors in the Premier League. It is hoped that Ten Hag will change this condition when he handles Man United next season. After additions to the coaching staff, Man United must concentrate on improving the squad. It is hoped that the new players can solve the problems of the old squad and Man United can compete at an elite level.

It is nice to see Arsenal making a big effort to achieve bigger success in the Premier League. Arteta wants to keep a good squad quality for next season to fight for the league championship once again.

Finishing in the 2nd place for 2 seasons in a row is telling us a lot. They are getting better every season in terms of statistics as well. It is really difficult to handle Manchester City in this league. I totally agree with that. However it isn't impossible. Arsenal's main problem in these seasons was the same, not being able to have a good ending. They lead for a long time but can't bring its end.

I hope they make it next season.    I'm not satisfied with Manchester City's turning the league into their playground.

Building a squad that will eventually win the Premier League Competition takes time, I'm certain Erik Ten Hag will find himself and the club in a much better position than the one we saw last season but then, he'll need patience, it'll probably not happen next season but I expect him to qualify Manchester United for the Champions League Competition.

Having Ruud Van Nistelrooy a former Manchester United player and also legend who knows the standards and f the club is a great news I'm more than, happy because Erik Ten Hag has someone who the fans of Manchester United loves too, they'll have to work head to head to see that success of achieved.

I one time said the new owners are upgrades of the glazers but I was damn wrong as they're currently making huge and massive development for the club. Manchester United performing at a top level in the coming seasons is a must.  I have also seen talks of Casemiro making apologies to Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag and wanting to prove himself this season. I would love that because he has the experience finally.

Arsenal is on the right track and their must be able to maintain it in order to break the negative trend after the last 20 years without a prestigious championship trophy, Arteta, who has succeeded in forming and building the mentality that Arsenal currently has of course has the opportunity to make Arsenal better again next season, especially now that Arsenal have big ambitions to become champions and of course management provide huge support to Arteta to be able to do it, twice failing to finish as champions and only runners up of course indicates that Arsenal really has the ability better now and I think they have a bigger chance of doing even better next season.

Manchester City has managed to dominate the English league for 4 consecutive seasons so when they do it again next season, won't it be quite boring for us to see?
So far we have known the English league as the most competitive league compared to other leagues, but now Manchester City has managed to dominate the championship trophy and of course this is no different from other leagues that currently exist, that's why I hope that next season there will be another team who is able to break Manchester City dominance in the league, whether it is Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United.

It seems, if Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City it is very likely that the Premier League will become more interesting because the competition will be more competitive and will make other teams to win trophies. But, as long as Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City then it seems very likely for Manchester City to be able to defend the Premier League title from season to season. What's more, Liverpool also has a new coach and that might make Liverpool also still not strong enough to be able to compete in the title race next season. Thus, it is very possible for Arsenal to be able to compete strongly again in the title race next season but indeed, to thwart the dominance of Manchester City is a difficult task. But even so, of course Arsenal still have a chance to get the trophy, I personally believe Arteta will be able to do it.

There is a chance for that in 1-2 years. Guardiola has been giving some signals from time to time. He won't manage Manchester City forever in the end. The whole team is built according to his system as well.

Which is really the most interesting point to me... Because when he leaves Manchester City, the team will need to find a manager who can fill his place and maintain the same system. It would be a high-cost thing to tear down all the things Guardiola has built here so far. I don't think the board would want to do such thing either. Therefore I feel like Arteta will be offered the job in case Guardiola leaves. I believe he is the best fit for such duty.

I also have this feeling that once there is no Pep in Manchester City, the club will likely fall out not undermining his successor. Pep is the actual reason why the club is recording as much success as of today, his departure from the team will be tragic in a way, most of the players will likely want to leave, with the new coach coming trying to reshuffle according to his own pattern which will bring distraction to their potential aswell affecting their expected achievements.

Arsenal has a lot to offer and if they should continue like this I believe time shall come when they will be topping the league just the way Manchester City is leading.

What Guardiola has built will certainly be a legacy that is easy to continue because this team is full of great and talented players. Of course whoever replaces Guardiola will of course maintain what is there and just have to continue, it's not that easy for a team that has won. The EPL four times in a row will just collapse when Guardiola leaves, you might find it interesting because there are no great coaches in the EPL where there will be matches that are balanced and not too complicated so that Manchester City doesn't completely dominate anymore.

for example, after Klopp left the EPL and if Guardiola did so, it would seem that the EPL would not be that interesting without there being more intense competition. but whatever it is, Manchester City will of course keep Guardiola until they really find a replacement. Moreover, it is impossible for Ateta to replace Guardiola at Manchester City but he will focus on bringing Arsenal to win the EPL which he often failed to achieve.

Arsenal has agreed terms with Calafiori as far as I have heard. I think this would be a really good signing for them. They already like to sign young and skilled players and he is a good choice for that.

I mean especially on these days when Real Madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal. I assume it would be really difficult to convince Saliba not to sign for Real Madrid.    So they will need a good young defender to fill his place. Calafiori is only 22 and he is quite versatile. I mean in his career so far he played as centre-back and left-back nearly the same number of times. Arsenal can also use him on both positions according to the need. 

I don't think it been formal proposal yet for Calafiori but for sure Arsenal are already making movement in closing a contract to get Calafiori and we actually need to sign in new players. If we are able to sign in new players that way our chances will increase from winning second always to winning the EPL it self. That is exactly how its suppose to be signing in New players will strengthen the performance of that club. When it comes to decisions making i always trust arteta to make them and bringing Calafiori is a good choice at some point I was wondering if we are going to sign or not because if we don't sign their is no way we won't fall behind.

If not that Madrid is greedy they should not be fighting for Saliba from us since they have gotten Mbappe they should focus on him they should go for other players and leve Saliba for us. If after acquiring we still need to place him to play center back for us because we need all the performance we can get now because this time should be different, we need to shift in position. And that is the only way we can win the epl this season.

I am pretty sure that Mikel Arteta would want to win it before Pep leaves, it would be more satisfying to beat Pep to the EPL title, if Pep leaves before another manager wins the EPL again, then it it somewhat shameful, the goal for other top managers in the Premier League is to beat Pep to the title.

Having said that, i think Pep has one more year left on his contract, so that is a worry for Manchester City if he does not extend his contract, and it is likely that he won't, i don't think they have a replacement yet and if Guardiola leaves, they might lose their dominance on English football.

Why would Mikel Arteta win it to impress Pep Guardiola or what? If he has to win the Premier League Competition to impress Josep Pep Guardiola or try to prove a point, then he is obviously doing it wrongly. The goal Is not to beat Josep Pep Guardiola, it's to win the Premier League Competition for the club, for himself and also for the fans who has supported and backed him up over the last two seasons of failure.

Josep Pep Guardiola has won it all for Manchester City, it's good to see that be he'll be remember as one of the greatest managers in the history of the Premier League Competition. I wanted saying Roberto De Zebri could be his replacement, bit that's obviously far from happening.
Erik Ten Hag could also be in like to win the Premier League Competition in tue next two seasons ahead.

Arsenal has agreed terms with Calafiori as far as I have heard. I think this would be a really good signing for them. They already like to sign young and skilled players and he is a good choice for that.

Arteta and Arsenal management are always after young promising players that can serve the team for more than five years that is why they go for Calafiori because they know how difficult the Premier League used to be, so it is better to have a strong backup and a player that can play in other competitions because we cannot keep using one player for several competitions because injuries might come and will be a big draw back to the team.
Calafiori will be a backup for Saliba and Gebriel, he can also play left back when either Zinchanko or Tomiyasu is not fit to play. So it will be a good signing if Arsenal could achieve that.

I mean especially on these days when Real Madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal. I assume it would be really difficult to convince Saliba not to sign for Real Madrid.    So they will need a good young defender to fill his place. Calafiori is only 22 and he is quite versatile. I mean in his career so far he played as centre-back and left-back nearly the same number of times. Arsenal can also use him on both positions according to the need. 

Arsenal started to bid for Calafiori before Madrid come for Saliba. Although just as you said, it will be difficult to convince Saliba not to join Madrid because Madrid is a dream team for almost all young players, but I don’t think it will be good for Saliba at this age because only midfielders and attackers get hyped for Real Madrid, their defenders are not been hyped which we have seen scenarios on Alaba, Rudiger and others. If you a young defender like Saliba, I will advise Saliba to stay with Arsenal to develop himself more.

It is nice to see Arsenal making a big effort to achieve bigger success in the Premier League. Arteta wants to keep a good squad quality for next season to fight for the league championship once again.

Arsenal's performances have been really good recently. They have been struggling to win the Premier League title in the last two seasons, but they have been failing. They do end up ending the season in second place, so next season is another season in which they are going to try their luck if they will be able achieve their aim. Arsenal has a very good squad, and they will still try their best next season to win the league title, but Manchester City will also want to win it, which we know isn't really going to be easy for both clubs. I know it’s too early to conclude on the club that will be winning the league title, but Manchester City should be able to win it once again.

It has to be said that Arsenal did better last season than Arsenal did last season. Last season Arsenal finished second in the points table but failed to give a tough competition to Manchester City but last season we saw Arsenal fight Manchester City till the last match and in the last match they lost the title to Manchester City. As much as they have improved between these two seasons, if they can maintain this consistency next season, maybe their dream of winning the English Premier League title will come true. Manchester City are still favourites, as I don't see any other Premier League side strengthening their squad this season, but if Arsenal can't improve their performance, Manchester City could be champions again.

Arsenal is quite consistent in my opinion, Arteta really keeps Arsenal's reputation very well, yes even though he hasn't won the English premier league, but in my opinion Arteta is really very good and good so far, he just needs time to see the opportunities that might result from Manchester City's unfocusedness or Guardiola's men, because they are the wall to make the Gunners win the English premier league.

We don't know how Man City can win again or not next season, because the last two seasons Arsenal and Man City have been very close together and very thin points difference, that's what makes me think doubtful that man city can experience victory again next season, seeing Arteta's consistency continue to be in second place it proves that Arsenal cannot be underestimated by Man City, I thought of some problems that might occur in Man City that could affect the game, like before when KDB got injured and Man City experienced a setback for some time, and that could be an opportunity for competitors like Arsenal to utilize it well.

Arsenal have shown how they are able to experience very rapid improvements so far in competing in the Premier League, previously we only saw Arsenal as a team that was only targeting qualifying for the top 4 at the end of the season but slowly they have now turned into title contenders which makes Manchester City is under pressure, although in the last two seasons Arsenal have still failed to win a trophy, but if you look at what Arsenal have done and achieved now, of course their chances of winning the English League title are very close in future and we should make them one of the favorite teams to be championship in the next season

Arsenal's failure this season is due to nothing more than their consistency and mental decline towards the end of the season, so in order not to repeat the same mistakes next season, of course Arteta should be able to find a solution to improve and cover Arsenal weaknesses, Manchester City has dominated the league in the last few seasons so they might also do it next season, so it is very important for Arsenal or other teams to be able to break  Manchester City dominance so far and make the English league more competitive again without one club  dominating the championship trophy.

If this real, and that's gonna be arteta's last chance to compete with pep in the upcoming season. Pep stabbed Arteta's club at the end of season twice. Arteta obviously sees Pep as the biggest obstacle to winning the PL trophy. The nuance will be very different if arteta win PL trophy without beating city in pep's era.

Having said that, i think Pep has one more year left on his contract, so that is a worry for Manchester City if he does not extend his contract, and it is likely that he won't, i don't think they have a replacement yet and if Guardiola leaves, they might lose their dominance on English football.

Manchestes can hand him a new contract, but does pep want it?. Pep has clearly stated in the past that he would like to coach the national team before he retires.

Pep Guardiola was a key figure in City's success, as they won won so many trophies. He helped City dominate the Premier League. They even broke Fergie's record at Manchester United too.

City may be nothing if it won't be coached by guardiola.

That is correct about the performance they have showcased in the last two seasons. I'm not a fan but, I have a big smile on my face whenever I'm watching them.
You know what I love about failing/falling? They're the best teachers and eye openers, as much as they're having obvious improvements, then they're heading the right direction.

When I analyse the  signings they have made in the last two seasons, they're major signatures which has filled up potholes in the club. I'd love to see a backup player for Saka, or is Fabio Vierra the ideal backup player? That I don't know fully. Gunners did not just do well in the Premier League Competition last season, they also did well during thr Champions League Competition group stage which I followed closely.

My first three clubs to dominate the Premier League Competition would be;
Arsenal.
Manchester City and then
Manchester United. Gunners has all it takes to win the Premier League Competition. They're yet to make a decision with signing a striker, if they should bring in a player that's experience, I'd champion the move for toe names ( Alexander Isaak and Ivan Toney )  they have good knowledge of the Premier League Competition and will bring a quick and massive impact to Arsenal.

[Velvet78]

I feel like Chelsea is going to be the most active team in this transfer window among top teams of the league. Boehly likes to spend a lot of money every window. Especially after bringing a new manager there would surely be some names Enzo Maresca would also like to see in his team. Like they have signed Dewsbury-Hall already.  

I just hope to see them spending their money more efficiently. Being rich doesn't guarantee success. Chelsea have been horrible for a few seasons which is the best example. If the chairman gets more careful (and patient) things would be better in time not only financially but also in terms of success.

It's most likely true. A few hours ago, chelsea has been announcing 5 new signings on their official X account. That's a lot, but chelsea is not that aggressive like previous season when they bought everything 100 million euros. It seems they realized that if they did it wrong. 

I just hope to see them spending their money more efficiently. Being rich doesn't guarantee success. Chelsea have been horrible for a few seasons which is the best example. If the chairman gets more careful (and patient) things would be better in time not only financially but also in terms of success.

Chelsea does it. Most new signings are cheap, except Estavao from Palmeiras. It takes time for maresca to reassemble his club, then build a strong chemistry. So, todd boehly, as a chairman, he needs to be even more patience to see his new club to be fully connected under Maresca.
