⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Any team without a good squad depth can't compete with other big teams in the Premier League, the team might do well in the beginning of the season but with time their performance would drop, so Tottenham has to work on that this season, they need about 7 or more signings if they really want to do better.
 Tottenham nearly got relegated last season so they'll be working more on building a strong team for the future, De Zerbi's task by the board could be finishing in top 10 position or qualifying for the Conference League atleast, there won't be too much pressure on him expect the team perform poorly for too long then they'll think of replacing him.

This team has started to decline, especially after the departure of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Then they were unable to find replacements for these two players, maybe they lacked the effort. Even the current team does not have the depth to compete in the Premier League. If they want to do well in the Premier League again, they must buy the necessary players. The Premier League is getting stronger by the day, so they must also increase their strength regularly.

The last two seasons were marked by how the management should have made changes to the team, even though they won the Europa League in the 2024/2025 season after beating Manchester United, their performance in the Premier League was very poor.. Last season, Tottenham almost got relegated and this should be the first step for Tottenham to do a major evaluation. If this is not done, I doubt they can perform much better next season because the competition will be much tighter than last season.

I would say the Europa league win ended up causing them to not really recover. Because they didn't realize that they were very bad, they said "well the league was bad, but we won Europa, so with a proper manager we could be better at league too" and that caused them to be not so good.

On top of that, they had a weak team, with no depth at all, even the starting eleven was not fully great, let alone any good players at bench, and still ended up playing in three different competitions, which caused them to get even worse.

[shinratensei_]

For this I was quite eager and wanted to see what the conditions of this season would be. If the teams play hard and perform well, then surely we can see the new team succeed for the title, but Arsenal will dominate this time too and will not rest because they will be tempted to show performance in the Premier League at least for now. If Aston Villa, Chelsea, Crystal Palace work hard, then there can be good performance and strength in the players, which can put pressure on Arsenal. I have also seen these teams making purchases and now the result of this will be known on the field when the teams will face each other. For this, they will have to play well this season so that when he arrives, he can increase his team even more.

I'm sorry, none of clubs in your list will put a pressure to Arsenal b2b champion next season. Chelsea is selling many of their key players. Palace is losing Glasner. Villa is a very inconsistent club when it comes to the league. I'd rather believe duo Manchesters are the strongest candidate to put the pressure to the Arsenal.
My reason is that those Manchester Clubs are using the same squad as last season, which having good chemistry and connection between any of their players.

So, we will see Arsenal to compete with duo Manchester to win EPL next season. Those duo Manchesters are the team that were able to beat Arsenal last season.

To be honest, Tottenham have lost their elegance and quality of play after the departure of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min but we think they have more opportunities in the upcoming season so they need players of the quality of these two in their team if they want to improve, after watching the performance of this team last season I felt that they might be relegated but they are still in the Premier League. So the management of this team should spend some money and buy quality players so that they can at least improve their position next season and play regularly or well against other teams in the upcoming season and increase their strength.

It's quite a pity Tottenham Hotspurs is struggling this much, I know it's normal among teams, but this struggle is way too much on them, that's why before you let a star player leave you should be sure of yourself and have a better plan, it's not just all about the money you're about to make from the player, they don't just sell Kane before you knew it they sack the coach they were relying on, to worsen they let Son leave, now they are facing the consequences of those actions, they got lucky from relegating, who knows how things will go with them comes next season.

Chelsea may  not be good at signing players but they're good at making profits from.the sake of players. They have just recently sold Marc Cucurella and that was a good business in my opinion.

Not just Cucurella, they did cool business last season during the transfer window. If they can just do same with bringing quality players, they will compete hard. Enzo Fernandez seems like the next to be sold as their are little links of him moving to Manchester City reuniting with Enzo Maresca.

[barbara44]

Tottenham has a chance now, they managed to stay at premier league, but it was a razor thin margins, and next season they can't afford to do something like that. Whoever they need to sell, they should sell and they need to find a manger who can give them 110% so that they can do as best as they possibly could. Rebuilding is not some "should we?" situation, it's a must and they need money for that.

While I understand that they may not be rich, they still need to figure out where to find some money and get some good players because without that, they are not going to recover from this. Yes it will cost the owners a lot, and the teams finances will be in shambles, but they need at least 4 more great players, if not more.

With too many changes in a few top clubs, it is going to be favorable for Arsenal because now they are having good depth with their coordination between players, which is also impressive. This will keep them at a top level just two Manchester clubs can challenge them but still they could stay at top ranks.

Few clubs are having things that needed time to bring good results; even if they are doing good changes, it's still never been easy to have results with immediate effect.

Chelsea and Liverpool could be clubs to watch, while Arsenal and Manchester City will stay on their level, but can Manchester United give them a surprise? This is also going to be interesting.

Honestly since the blue co took over Chelsea have really been good in business, they really know how to get these players sold and for the right amount. Getting 60m euros for Marc cucurella is really a good business for them. Though he mad it clear that he want to leave after the end of this season and to see him in Real Madrid is really a good one.

Enzo definitely will be leaving but where will he be heading to is still very uncertain. He has been recently linked to both Real Madrid and Manchester city, both clubs want him. One thing is for sure Chelsea will be getting over a 100m euros if they will be letting him go. It another big business for Chelsea on the road again.

What’s the benefit of all their businesses if the team keeps going down? They don’t have anything positive to say about their transfer activities in the past three seasons, most of the players they are signing are not good enough for the team because despite all the money they have spent under this new ownership of the club, they only manage to win the club World Cup and conference league, they were nowhere to be found in the premier league table and that’s why they still wants to sign more players.

Selling Cucurella is not a good move in my opinion regardless of the profit they make, they should have kept him by all means because he is very good in his position in the premier league and other competitions, but now they have to search for his replacement a soon as possible.

Tottenham coach is really having lots to work on by next season, and they just going to be much pressure on him, I just hope he will be able to improve the team’s performance by next season. Tottenham were Lucky last season they will have been relegated already, they were Lucky to be able to win their last match. Tottenham performance was terrible last season, I expected something better from them, I never knew they going to struggle to avoid relegation, their coach will have to rebuild the team, they need to perform better.

Know doubt Chelsea is one of the best business team in the world now but what is buying and selling of players when one cannot win a trophy for the team and fans that sacrifice all just to stand by them.
I really think its the right time for Chelsea's management to go back to there drawing board to see if they can find every possible solution to the problem making them unable to win any trophy because most of the teams in that same position with them have struggled and escaped from that boundage and are now fighting to secure any trophy maybe by the end of next season.

Yes they need to sign very good players that will help them out if not they will surely go to relegation next season, the competition in the Premier League right now is very tough and is not easy at all to survive in the Premier league as a team you need to put in more work and sign very good players.
To fine a replacement for Harry Kane won’t be easy but if they put more effort in doing some research they can fine a replacement or someone close to Harry Kane in performance.
Last season they didn’t do well at all they almost got relegated but thank God to the new coach they signed he did very well and next season he will do better but they should sign good players other to survive in the premier league.

Chelsea and Liverpool spent a lot of money last season to build their squads. But their performance was still very poor. They are trying to strengthen the squad for next season. But it is uncertain whether they will be successful.

Manchester United have performed incredibly well after the change of manager. So everyone's expectations will be very high on this team next season. Carrick will definitely want to win the Premier League title next season. On the other hand, Manchester City's overall situation is still unstable. I am sure that City will be a bit weaker after Guardiola leaves City. Maresca cannot be relied on too much.

This coming season Tottenham Hotspur coach has a very big work to do. Building a team that will be competitive and play very well in the league is what the coach should be more focused at. This is because Tottenham has not been playing a very convincing brand of football which is attractive to the eyes. This coach should make sure that he builds a team that , should be made up of players which are young and can run.


Tottenham Hotspur should make sure that, they should return back to the top half of the premier League by playing very well. But this can only be done when a team that can be achieved if the coach builds a team that can compete favorably with the rest of the big teams on the league.

I am sure that City will be a bit weaker after Guardiola leaves City. Maresca cannot be relied on too much.

After successfully leading Manchester United to a third-place finish, there is hope that Carrick will try to chase the Premier League trophy next season. Given the depth of the squad and several new signings in the current transfer window, Manchester United could be a title contender next season.
The change of manager at Manchester City will slightly impact the team's overall performance as it will require adaptations to the pattern and strategy. I'm also not sure Maresca can deliver the best results in his first season.
Team stability needs to be balanced because the arrival of a new manager will have little impact. If Maresca fails to capitalize on the potential of Manchester City's players, their position next season will be difficult to compete with other teams.

Manchester United really have a potential for that. Carrick is promising after what he has done so far. However we should be aware that there are still weaknesses to be improved.

They need to concede less goals. That depends on strengthening the defense. By the way Bruno Fernandes is staying I assume. At least for another year... He is the most crucial member of the midfield now.

Manchester United faced a difficult season, they were about to lose everything, at a certain point (unfortunately late) they started to take matters into their own hands, they focused on the Championship obtaining an excellent result considering they were in really bad shape.
Next season I really think he could achieve great results, I'm not sure about a good first place, but I'm sure they will put on a show and especially entertain the fans.

Manchester United are now performing like they did back in their prime, it is almost like the old United we know are back all thanks to Micheal carrick. When you was signed into the club a lot of football fans were not expecting much from him because his track record didn't show that you has enough experience but he did the unexpected.

I think it's too early to says Manchester united are back to their prime that because Manchester united still through a half season with this coach but as i said before that the real tested Manchester united under Carrick is next season when he got the trust from the owner, because i think next season would be hard for them especially they should be divided their focus for other competition like champion league and if Manchester united have done well even if possible, fight for race title then we can says Manchester united are back

The midfield repair is coming and it will happen before the start of preseason games. I'm so much in a dire need of a new and experienced centre back. Harry Maguire I do not trust as a result of his reduced pace. Lisandro Martinez his injury prone situations,  Yoro I can vouch for but need game time, Athe young heaven I can but not Luke Shaw who I don't quite thing can give us another consistent Premier League games.

Correct! Perfecto! And they're not doing that, we will see where that lands us eventually. And it will second place if a concrete CB is not brought in.
