Manchester City will miss a very wonderful coach and he will be very hard to get type of Gudiola in Manchester city for now. The new coach will surly sigh some good players but guidiola will always be the best coach for Manchester City. What I can said is that Gudiola have keep good players in the team before he leaves and the new coach can enjoy them even without signing new players and they can do well in the premier league next season but is good to get more good players in the team so that your club can be more stronger then before.

Guardiola became the first coach in history to spend more than 2 billion on transfers (and this is despite the fact that he came to teams with already golden squads - Barcelona, ​​Bayern, City!) It would be strange if after him there were no great players left. But the fact is that he didn't leave behind a champion team, two years without titles + two years in a row of humiliation at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League, i.e. even with a champion mentality there are problems. I think the only thing City fans will miss is the times when their financial advantage was undeniable (coach doesn't really matter).

If arsenal can win the premier league title last season with the present players, then they have no fear at all this season because what they need is their playing consistency and also improving areas where they are weak, which may mean that they sign players to strengthen the squad but I don't think they should panic even though other clubs will want to improve to compete for the title this season too. But arsenal remains one of the best contenders for this title this season.

This is just the truth, Arsenal won the league with the current players in the team there is a possibility of them winning the league again next season but the only challenge will be the players being in good form, Arsenal will also have to face the opposition that will be coming their ways, Manchester United is in good form now unlike last season where they started very poor same thing with Manchester City and Liverpool. The new season will be filled with strong competition but the better team will surely win the league.

The current odds for the league title:

- Arsenal: 2.50
- Manchester City: 3.75
- Liverpool: 6.00

These are top 3 contenders for bookmakers now. Manchester United follow with 7.00 by the way. After a big improvement they are given a much higher chance than before. Do you find the odds reasonable?

The odds are good, even though Liverpool didn't end very high, they still have a very good squad. And that is the problem. Manchester United is ranked fourth in odds, and they finished third, so fi they finish exactly where the people assume they would, or at least what odds say, that would be 4th, worse than this year. And that is what is the problem, if you finish worse than previous year, most people assume that as a bad year. I think as long as UCL spot is taken, United will be happy or should be happy.

If Arteta really knows how to defend a title, I believe he can win it again this season by having a few new backup players whose quality is close to that of the starters. That's probably the best way for Arsenal to rotate the squad, keep the key players fresh, and use them mainly in the most important matches. With that approach, Arsenal would still have a strong chance of success, even though the competition this season is likely to be tougher with several other top teams challenging for the title.

In my opinion, Liverpool are too low, in the end they got rid of Slot and they have a good team (Isak the rat as a curse can of course be taken into account). Arsenal is probably the favorite rightfully, but then again, last season Liverpool was initially the favorite if I remember correctly and everyone saw how the season went. City are clearly overvalued. At the moment, I think United, Chelsea, and City should be considered equally likely. So it should be something like:

Arsenal - 3.0
Liverpool - 4.5
United, Chelsea, City - 5.0

Did you guys see Gabriel Magalhaes at the World Cup ? I don't know If he works really efficient with Saliba as Centre Back pairing but I really saw a lot of loopholes in his defense and alot of teams are monitoring his plays and how to take advantage of that and since He is the anchor of that Arsenal team it's going to be a rough ride for them.

They may even end up like Liverpool, anything can happen because next season is looking more fierce

It doesn’t work like that in the league mate, for a team that is defending the title and you want to retain it again for the following season you will need to be more prepared than you were the previous season. Right now every team know what arsenal is capable of, they know the tactics they used last season, now Arsenal will have to come with a new strategy and new go players too to win the league.

Arsenal did very well last season but now almost all the teams, especially big teams are preparing and to build a strong to challenge for the title. It going to be very competitive season coming up, to predict who to win the league is definitely difficult right now.

The World Cup is not really as interesting as it used to be in the past years. Now it's all hype but it's still fun seeing all players competing in the same tournament. A lot of matches in the World Cup doesn't live to hypes and expectations but seeing stars come up against each other is the only take in it now. The fact that a certain team is also being favoured to win makes me lose interest in it.
A lot of fans can't wait for the World Cup to be over so we can start seeing transfer news and teams preparing for the season ahead. Club football is really missed but we still have to be a little patient since the World Cup is almost over. We are almost at the semi final so there's no much time left.

The Qatar World Cup seemed to go by too quickly. I had high expectations for this World Cup, but everything turned ugly. I don't know, the favoritism, the cheating, the corruption ºall of that, for me, is what made things different. The only good thing I know I'm going to see is the match between England and Argentina and Spain and France, and that's because I'm sure that England will have a hard time living up to their status as favorites. Even so, I hope England wins.

Arteta has proven that, after a very long process he finally managed to present the Premier League title for Arsenal which means the progress that has been made so far has been quite successful so that the same thing is also possible to happen in the following seasons although there is no guarantee because the competition in the Premier League is quite fierce but at least Arsenal will still compete for it and I even believe that overall Arsenal's strength will be better next season.

Are we sure that Xabi Alonso is in charge of the transfers now?    Because this kind of transfers really look like the owners' instead.

I don't see any improvement in the squad for now. They are just losing blood starting with Cucurella.

If Arsenal still want to win the English premier League title this coming season they should better step up their game, they need a very good attackers, because that was one of their major problems last season, they should work on that and try to upgrade from that set piece tricks because I don't think that's really gonna work for them next season, because I'm seeing teams like Manchester United and Manchester City as a very big threat to them, I can't still count on Liverpool for now because they didn't impress me last season, so unless I see how good they've become then I can rate them.

I quite agree with you that Arsenal need a very good attackers and they should upgrade from their set piece tricks if they want to win the premier League because at some point last season teams figured out how to stop them from scoring with their set piece tricks, when that happened they were struggling to win matches which almost made Manchester City win the Premier League title, so there's need for them to adopt a new strategy that can make them to score goals.

[stepwilli]

For sure the odd is always in Favour of the current champions, especially when they don’t sell their players, because the chemistry and understanding is still very there between players. Arsenal is a strong contender and a huge favorite to win the league again next season. They really did well last season in all competitions they played and I bet next season will be the same too.

You nailed it here bro. Most football fans have failed to understand that the most important thing in a team is chemistry and togetherness, and Mikel arteta's arsenal are the team that has been together the most in the English premier league, unlike Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool that will be having a new manager, that will need a lot of time for their players to get used to his playing pattern, so I believe that arsenal are in the best place to retain their title next season, if they can be as consistent as they were this past season.

This is exactly the reason why Arsenal looks like they may yet win again. All other teams are having a brand new situation and they are not going to be that good and this could cause them to not have the best returns at all.

Of course there could also be a season like Arne Slot on his first year at Liverpool, now Arne is gone and Iraola taken over, but when Arne got there first, on his first year he won the title. So if a team does something like that, maybe they have a chance. But for me, Arsenal has the biggest chance for now.

The world cup happened to be an Unusual one, old legends sharing the pitch with new football legends, and it didn't turn out that fun or effective, Yamal, Mbappe, Haalands, were toddlers when Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar made their first football debut, sharing the pitch in this world cup, showed a change in era that shouldn't have happened. In boxing, Mohammed ALI never shared the ring with Mike Tyson, neither did Jordan play on same court as Lebron James, this world cup is different, it would have been much better had the new legends been allowed to shine, instead of bring forth the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar etc to compete on same level with them.

The coming league season will be very competitive Arsenal may not even perform well as they did last season, Arsenal performance wasn't even good enough but since they won the premier league title and also played in the UCL final i will say it's one of there best season if not the best. Arne slot won the premier league title for Liverpool in his first season was as a result of what Liverpool formal coach Klopp built that was why he struggled last season and later got sack by the club management at the end of the season, maybe they could perform well with there new coach this season, i also see Man united as a club that will challenge for the premier league title this season.

I still don't know why I'm not all that gassed up ahead of the new season for Manchester United. I also do not think they can win the Premier League Competition, no Manchester United should entertain such thoughts. We're not there yet. Arsenal are most definitely gonna be Champions again if you ask me. If you allow them bring in Bruno Guimaraes, he'll help them control games Zubimendi failed to do and detect game. I'm confident they emerge Champions of English Premier League again.

Maybe you don't believe in the squad yet or you think the players are ny good enough to bring the trophy home but look back to the performance of the team when Michael Carrick took over you would notice more changes has happened to the team. Manchester United team needs to strengthen the team again so they can be stronger next season but there's no way they won't be a strong contender for the title cause even Arsenal still has some average players you don't rate them over the players in United.

Even as an Arsenal fan myself, I would not want to start nursing that thought that Arsenal will win the title again after seeing how the struggled to win it last season with the level of heat they faced from Manchester city who were always following them (Arsenal) bumper to bumper in points accumulation..

And the coming season likely will be tougher than last season because in the coming season, we are going to be seeing more title contenders which are going to likely be but not limited to Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Maybe Liverpool if they manage to wake up from their slumber to pursue and try to grab the title back from Arsenal.

I definitely will be more than happy if Arsenal wins the title again, but like I said before, I don't want to start nursing such thought so I don't end up feeling betrayed and highly disappointed.

Palestra, Quenda and Denner... These are the moves by Chelsea so far right? All of them are very young names and not all of them are well-known either.

Are we sure that Xabi Alonso is in charge of the transfers now?    Because this kind of transfers really look like the owners' instead.

I don't see any improvement in the squad for now. They are just losing blood starting with Cucurella.

I’m not sure if this transfer was at Xabi Alonso’s request. It must be the doing of the club’s owners, who are solely focused on financial gain. I’m surprised that the club’s owners are so keen on signing young players, even though Chelsea’s current squad already has so many young players. Given a squad like this, I’m not convinced that Xabi will be able to improve Chelsea’s performance next season.

Those transfers are initiated by their management, not xabi. The only player Xabi wants is Granit Xhaka. However, Xabi is being known as a coach that could utilize the young lads. That's why he may not make a lot of request to the club because Chelsea has lots of talents. So let's see how Xabi can mix and match to meet his proper squad composition. It's worth to give him a try.
