I really like the way Tottenham reacts to their big danger of relegation this season. De Zerbi didn't want to waste any time as for new transfers.

Most of them are good ones but they are spending like crazy really! The amount they spent last season was around €270m. Now they've spent more than €200m for only 2 midfielders.

Many deals are done but there might be more on the way. Squad depth is generally in an okay condition now.

Tottenham management should  have spent this money last season. Then they would not have faced such a decline. Their performance last  season was also very bad. They finished the match in  17th place in the table. Even after such a bad performance, they did not take the necessary measures to strengthen the squad. As a result, they faced another bad decline. And the team was very lucky to avoid the  relegation zone. They are  taking all the necessary measures to strengthen the  squad. It is expected that the team will fight hard for the qualification of the champions league next season.

Tottenham is moving on the right direction. This is exactly what they should have done to strengthen their squad depth. Every angle is lacking in Tottenham. Their attacks, mid field and defence needs to be fortified ahead of the upcoming season. Roberto De Zerbi knows his job would be stake if Tottenham doesn't perform well in the upcoming season, whatever that has to be done to strengthen the squad no matter the expenses is a green for him. Tottenham management board are cooperating with him because they don't want a decline in Tottenham performance next season which is why they have been approving funds for Roberto De Zerbi to sign players.

I don't know why Arsenal has not sign a winger, if they don't sign a winger believe me they will find it difficult to lift the premier League again, they need a good winger because there wingers right now are not performing they are not doing what a winger should do they are not creating chances they need a winger that will create chances and pass ball to the striker to score, right now they don't have that kind of player they should be looking for a very good winger and spend huge amount of money to get a good winger.

Perhaps Arsenal is waiting until the World Cup is over before signing players, especially a left winger. Yes, as you said, Arsenal needs to sign a left winger because that’s an area they need to improve. Arsenal’s current left wingers aren’t good enough, since Martinelli and Trossard often fail to perform consistently. That’s why Arsenal needs to sign a left winger, and I’m sure Arteta has already thought about it.

I think the transfer window is still open to more than a month before the new season begins and since everyone still on the world cup experience, maybe they are giving it time to observe and later publish on their intentions on this to the media, as you have suggested, if needs be then they have to take adequate decision to ensure that the sign in a winger, everything is for their own good this new season we are about to start.

Tottenham really have to get his thing done right, because they don't deserve the position they there in  last two season and last season which they have to adjust and make sure their return to their normal position. Roberto De Zerbi has done a very good job for Tottenham for letting them not relegating this season, I have trust in him that he will try anything possible to make sure Tottenham return back to their normal position. It's going to be a very tough season for them but they just have to fight it so that their reputation can continue to exist.

Sure, you we will be truly surprise on how Arsenal will sign players after this season FIFA world cup tournament. They really need to work on thier winger because that’s exactly where they are facing challenges, and they were affected alots during the last season premier league and the Champions League final. Although I love how they worked on thier defenders and how strongest they are presently. But they really need a producing goals machine against next season.

The Martinelli and Trossard are trying thier best to some extent but they aren't actually produces or creat chances as expected from them well, I also believe Arteta will surely worked on themselves since he has already identified his lapses.

Tottenham fell into the relegation zone last season and lost a lot of matches, i haven't seen them fall so low before but like you said, some significant changes should have been made by now and the teams must been able to improve but I don't think you should be expecting them to start competing with teams like arsenal or city because it might take them a while for them to recover, even though they must have some strategies put in place they cannot really improve to the point of surpassing the top teams, reduce your expectations.

Yes Tottenham last season was really bad even touching the bottom of the table if I don't forget, this is the worst story that ever happened to him because he went through a very bad drop, but fortunately they were able to bounce back in the final league trip that took them out of the relegation zone and only two points difference with West Ham to stay in the Premier League.
Certainly cannot be directly matched with Arsenal or any other top team to Spur them on now although making improvements must be difficult back when there was Harry kane here, no player can be relied on as well as he used to be, so competition may only bring him to the middle board.

The lack of consistency from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard last season prompted Arteta and Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta to make the left wing their top transfer priority to improve squad depth. Arsenal have been scouting players who fit their playing philosophy at the World Cup, but with players more focused on representing their countries, many major negotiations have been put on hold during the tournament. Arsenal have made an approach and have received internal information on each of their target players, such as Kenan Yildiz, Bradley Barcola and Nico William. Arsenal are also very supportive of the move by being willing to fund such a big signing, if the funds are not enough to recruit a top class star player, Arsenal may have to sell one of their attackers.

Most of these deals will get completed after the World Cup, and that's definitely the right thing they should do: observe the performance of the player in quotes and see what he does during the world for them to make a perfect decision and to avoid making a bad signing, but the necessary background assessment and arrangements are what should be going on, so if in the end the player meets up with their expectations for signing, then they don't have to waste any time to complete the deal.

It must be admitted that Michael Carrick has been quite successful in bringing changes to the Man United team, but this should not be considered too excessive because next season will be the real proof for Michael Carrick, even though there is a big possibility that Michael Carrick will be able to make Manchester United's performance better, but this must also be supported by management to help Michael Carrick develop the team as he wants.

I have no doubt that Manchester United will do well next season under the management of Micheal carrick, if he was able to make significant changes last season within a short period of time then definitely there would be a new Manchester United next season. Even though they don't end up winning the league title or winning any trophy I think it's possible for them to finish the season at the top 3.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Carrrick has been able to to achieve a lot in Manchester United over the last few months that he has been the coach and he is still proving himself to be what the team would have been years back. Manchester United are currently doing well but this is something that a lot of us thought would not be able to be possible but carrick has come to revive the team back to what they used to be.

Can you imagine if Carrick had appeared when CR7 was there? And not the failed Ten Hag? Wow, I think Manchester United would have competed and won the Premier League then. I say God's timing is perfect and things happen for a reason, but those seasons were the darkest for the Red Devils. It's a real shame what they went through. Fortunately, Carrick came to save the club.

Tottenham spent fair last season but it was just not enough to change anything shockingly. This season they are spending well enough to get things right, I wonder how well they will go this coming season.

I think making it to European competition is the first step to show if Roberto De Zerbi will be a good choice, I can't say anything yet until because some of these recent managers had quality to succeed but that was not the case.

I think they are just realizing themselves, because they are not really ready to go through same stress as of season before last and also last season, they were very lucky last season else they could be in relegation by now, so they don't want to experience such nightmare again come next season, but the thing is, it's not just by signing players with high wages, can you really bring out the best from them, or can the players really deliver? Well I will leave it for the season to start, because we don't want to see something like that of Issak when Liverpool signed him

[jakdanyel]

Xhaka isn't going to Chelsea. Things aren't going well for the Blues in the transfer market for now. But there is still a long time ahead. I believe in Xabi Alonso a lot to build a competitive squad. 

I have no doubt that Manchester United will do well next season under the management of Micheal carrick, if he was able to make significant changes last season within a short period of time then definitely there would be a new Manchester United next season. Even though they don't end up winning the league title or winning any trophy I think it's possible for them to finish the season at the top 3.

I can't be as confident as you yet because of not seeing Carrick manage a PL team for a season long... However from his short experience this season I can say that I'm keen on watching him.

The PL, EFL Cup, FA Cup, CL... There are many tournaments waiting to be handled at the same time by him. Let's see if he does his work nicely.

If this were just a dreamy vision of the future, I'd say Ronaldo could certainly help Man United win titles. But in reality, there's no guarantee that if Ronaldo were still at MU and Carrick were the manager, United would still struggle. And it all depends on how the manager treats all players fairly.

Sometimes the pressure from the club to achieve success quickly can make the relationship between players and coaches bad.

If I can go back to time, I'd tell and block Cristaino Ronaldo from moving to Manchester United and also disobey Sir Alex Ferguson and join Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

I recall the disrespect he got from ex teammates, pundits and also players who played in the same team as him. He should have just gone elsewhere rather than swing that way. But in the end, it is all God's plan afterall.

With the results Carrick has been getting for Manchester United, it seems that having Ronaldo in Manchester United squad would have been a good idea. But there is no assurance that, if Carrick had been the manager during the period Ronaldo was at the club, the results would have been the same.i believe that the way Carrick likes his players to be treated, Ronaldo might have been given special treatment, and that could have caused problems within the team. On the other hand, it might not have caused any problems at all.

There may also have been times when the team did not get good results. Ronaldo always liked to play as many minutes as possible, but there would have been occasions when the coach needed to substitute him. That could also have caused problems, and the coach might not have liked Ronaldo reactions from time to time.So, any assumptions about what would have happened if Carrick had been Manchester United coach during Ronaldo second time at Manchester United. We cannot know for certain whether the outcome would have been better or worse.

Well I think Manchester United would have competed for the league, cristiano Ronaldo was good even for the second time when he came to Manchester United, during that time he was the club Highest goal scorer and was also competing for the premier league golden boot. If it was Carrick that was in charge I think it would have been a very lovely Manchester United to watch.

Well back to reality, there is so much expectation on Carrick Manchester United, considering how he finished last season he really need to do well. Some people are even saying Manchester United are in the race for next season premier league. I hope he can deliver this time around.

That's how everything was designed to be, don't forget that it was in Manchester United that the second coach actually trained and shaped Christaino Ronaldo mentality to be the person he is today, they are various interviews that I have watched and even Christaino Ronaldo himself have said how he was sat down and showed clips of great goal scorers and asked to perfect the act of scoring because early Ronaldo was all about skills and flair of which wouldn't have gotten him to the current status that he holds so good deeds and jealousy from fellow ex teammate is something that Ronaldo can live with seeing how everything shaped out fine for him.

In the two interim stints he's spent at the club, Michael Carrick was able to out do the expectations of many especially fans of the club, that was  the major reason he was he's been given the opportunity to manage the team on permanent basis. Next season, Manchester United will participate in all four competitions any of the clubs that finishes in top four participates in and I think he will do well. Many people are already tipping Manchester United to win the English Premier League title which I think will be a difficult feat to achieve for them. We'll get to find out soon.
