If Garnacho were given more playing time, there would certainly be a better chance for him at Aston Villa. However, I'm not so optimistic because Garnacho's behavior isn't that great. Although he's a good player individually, if his attitude is bad, it's difficult for a player to develop.
But at least there's new hope for Garnacho now.

You are right that if the Argentine player Garnacho had more playing time, he might have been able to prove himself better at Aston Villa, but we have seen that this player did not perform well for the two big clubs of the PL, Manchester United and Chelsea. In the previous season, everyone noticed that this player joined the PL club Chelsea and in that season he was only able to score eight goals. So it can be said that these players need to improve their skills, so that after joining Aston Villa, they can play more aggressively in the upcoming PL season.

Sometimes it's discovered that we are having a wrong approach over some professional referees from their way of judgments especially when it does not favor our supported team, until we realize that they are no longer going to do the same thing they are doing and retire before we could appreciate their effort over a long time, most people are not being celebrated when they are still functional or in active service, but will definitely be missed the moment they retire from that same position

Happy retirement, Ref.

I don’t really know why Aston villa decided to sign Garnacho, because i don’t see anything special about Garnacho. He played in Manchester United and Chelsea, but the funniest part is that he didn’t play anything special in those two teams. Garnacho was given opportunity to play in some matches, he was suppose to prove to the coach that he should be given more player time, but he failed, he ended up performing poorly in matches that he played.

Since he will be playing at Aston villa by next season, and am sure he will be given playing time at Aston villa, let’s see how he will perform when the season start, I just hope he won’t make Aston villa regret why they signed him, because Garnacho is not a player I will encourage any team to sign.

Well Unai Emery had other options and decided to choose Garnacho, he had to even call him to convince the Argentine international to come play for him. Well it only a loan for now but a loan with an obligation, which are, Garnacho have to make at least 28 matches appearance in all competitions  and also he will more than 10 goals contribution. I think without injury these obligations would be fulfill by the player.

Garnacho is 22 and there is always room for improvement, especially from young players, i believe Garnacho will do well at Villa. If given the confidence, I believe he have good qualities to make a good player. Let see how this loan spell will be for both the player and the club.

Hull City played a friendly match against Konyaspor in Maribor and secured a comfortable 3-0 victory.
Konyaspor started the match well, but Hull City opened the scoring through Enis Destan. Although Hull City won the game easily, they would not be able to survive in the Premier League next season with their current squad.
They urgently need to make new signings. After the match, Acun Ilıcalı addressed questions regarding transfers, stating that they are primarily interested in players from the French and Spanish leagues.

As a Manchester United fan, am happy we sold him to one of our rivals in the premier League 😁😁 although he had some beautiful moments with us, one of that was the overhead kick he scored against Everton but after moving to Chelsea, he has been completely dreadful with his gameplay and now Chelsea too have returned the favor to Aston Villa but sometimes player tend to find their best form in clubs you never believe they would perform and so let's see how things play out this season when he gets to see more playing time.

[Mayor of ogba]

He’s failed to really prove himself at two big clubs now, I don’t see what will be any different at Aston Villa. Maybe more playing time will help and less pressure will help him express himself on the pitch better but I’m not sure. I just don’t think he has that real star quality.

I agree with you that Gernacho failed to prove himself at Chelsea but as for Manchester United, I disagree Gernacho was a good player at Manchester United his fall out with Ruben Amorim just made him look like he wasn't good enough for Manchester United. Gernacho is a good player he just need more playing time to build his confidence and prove himself that he's still the same Garnacho we watched during his first season at Manchester United. If he can get more playing time at Aston Villa like you said, I believe he will perform well and we will see a better version of him there.

Hull city is doing well in their friendlies,but i agree they need to sign some good players because this season its not gonna be easy to stay in the league. Almost always when teams from championship go into the premier league that same season they get relegated so i think they need to get some transfers fast because time is ticking and the transfer window will soon end and i dont see any good players coming to Hull City.

A club like Aston Villa is the kind of club Garnacho should perform well in. That is his level. I've been saying this since. He just needs to realise that he is not made for the big clubs. His fans also need to understand this. Ghanacho will never do well in a big club. He doesn't have the talent for that kind of pressure.
In a club like Aston Villa, he would play with less pressure, and the little he does will be appreciated. If he scores 13 goals in a club like Aston Villa, it would be an achievement, but in a club like Chelsea or Manchester United, he would need to do more.

His attitude is a problem, but I think his talent is the bigger issue. I don't see him as a player who causes trouble in the dressing room. He is just a player who sees himself better than he actually is. That kind of attitude wouln't be a problem if he was actually that good.

Garnacho wasn't has terrible as many continue to speak of him at Chelsea,  he came around the worse possible times when all our attacks were really disappointing.

Yes he is not as good as he was but not really terrible or fallen as people view him. Aston Villa might be a good success for him or not but overall I hope he stay humble and work hard and regain some level of reputation.

The question is, what happened to that good player that always comes in as a sub and get the winning goal for Manchester United, what happened to him? The player himself need something or someone to boost himself up to be up to speed and I thought Alonso would have gotten the best out of him but instead they loaned him out to Aston Villa, if he becomes that good player everybody has always wanted to see then the credit should be given to Emery the Villa manager.

One thing about players leaving or coming to Manchester United is the level of expectations designed for him to meet and when such level of expectations is no longer recognised during his time it becomes difficult.
Even at Manchester United before moving to Chelsea he had an excellent time but was not only partient enough to help lead the team to glory but he chooses to leave for a better future that later failed him.
For the fact that garnancho never did brilliantly well in Chelsea is never enough reason he won't do well also at Aston Villa because stories do change at the appointed time.

A. Taylor is deciding to retire from refereeing the football games. So we won't see him refereeing EPL games anymore. this is the news that i have been waiting for more than a decade. I was always getting pissed off with many of his unfair decision. So he no longer give weird foul.

tbh, i am seeing him as the worst referee ever owned by PL. So his retirement is well deserved not only by him, but it's also for the clubs who always getting disadvantages over any of his weird decision.

I feel so so happy with this news! Does any of you guys have same feeling like me?

This particular news of Taylor's retirement brought a lot of joy and ecstasy to all of Chelsea fans world wide because this man hated Chelsea to the core. Anytime he officiated a Chelsea game, it's either he issued out an undeserving red card to a Chelsea player or he makes a controversial decision that is against Chelsea.
It got to a point during the course of last season where Chelsea fans even signed a petition to the league fa that he should no longer officiate a Chelsea game, that shows how bad it was.

He would never be missed especially to Chelsea fans because they sees him as a bias and sentimental referee that hates and purposely chooses side, anytime he is officiating any game that involves Chelsea.

Yeah i remember that correctly when Chelsea fans launched a petition against him. One of his most controversial decision is that when Romero was pulling Cucurela's hair. It's unacceptable for sure. No doubt that seeing him retire as a referee give a joy to the all of Chelsea fans. So no more bald fraud will give one sided decision against them.

Premier League is so back without him refereeing the games. Even this news feels bigger than Chelsea's major transfer.

[Velvet78]

I hope this time around Chelsea gets it right and Alonso takes the team to better height as the new manager. I have been vocal on this aspect, since the UK government took away Chelsea from the Russian and sold it, the club has never remained the same again till now. For few years now, Chelsea has been very active in every transfer window but what happens when the season starts is what most of us can't comprehend. They have the money and players but are not replicating that on the pitch. If it's quality players, they do have those too but how they end up is something else. I think when it comes to having players, no club in Europe has more players than Chelsea and of course a greater number of them are all out on loan and they keep on buying more and more players. I really hope Alonso gets it right with Chelsea. I miss the old Chelsea even though I'm not their fan, the competition dropped when their are no much teams to compete with. If the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all in form, every week will be like a final in the EPL. That's the kind of competition I want back in the EPL.

It depends on how much the owners will listen to Xabi Alonso... The squad needs a renovation significantly. The current policy of the owners is useless for achievements.

I also miss the old Chelsea of course. The fans must also feeling the same on this topic. They had much better players in general back in the day. 

Abramovich era was the golden one for them. I hope one day they get an owner like him who knows about football for real.

[HajiBagi]

If Garnacho can do well there he more likely won't suffer similar fate like Sancho whose salary structure was the major factor nothing much came out from his loan spell at Aston Villa.

Garnacho move to Aston Villa is not about playing UEFA competition but rather getting back to his best and since he will be having less pressure there at Villa this is good for him, the UEFA competition is just an addition.

The only way Garnacho can do better is to play without adding extra show, play not to impress if not there are some skills he'd try doing that won't work, he should forget about the fans and get his head into the game, he should be more focused than look at the fans or manager to get their approval of what he is doing. Sometimes when I see him it seems like it's his first time of kicking the ball, he plays like Caicedo when he first joined Chelsea, give me the and I'll give it back I don't want to make mistake. Let Garnacho keep taking players on before the first month his confidence will grow.
I agree with what you said, he had to get back on his feet if not after this upcoming season and no improvement I don't think he'd be wearing Chelsea's jersey again. I fear if he'd have less pressure because when he joined the Blues it as if there's this responsibility that was put on him and a bigger task that he must accomplish if not he will be sent to UTD but no, maybe is fear, I just hope he keep himself calm.

Garnacho can still improve if only he focus on his game and career because sometimes it looks like he is not ready to become a top player in his career, he is just getting more tattooed in his body without no thinking about how to become a better player that many teams will be happy to sign, Aston Villa is a team that can help him to get back to his form because Unai Emmry is a coach that has help many young players to become a better players, Garnacho only need to focus more on goal scoring and he will get back to his form.

I watched Garnacho last season and i am very disappointed in his performance because he is not that same guy that came from Manchester United academy, maybe the lack of minute in Chelsea is the reason why performance was poor last season, if he want to get back to his best form he need to get a playing time to prove himself and let the coach trust him.

Liverpool managed to win 4-2 in their preseason match against Sunderland. Liverpool aims to win the championship this season under its new head coach. Andoni Iraola had a great season at Bournemouth and will now focus all his efforts on leading Liverpool to the championship. I believe they put on a good performance against Sunderland in what was likely their first preseason match of the season. In the coming days, they will also play preseason matches against Wrexham and Leeds United.

The matches against Wrexham and Leeds United should not be that difficult for Liverpool because they are stronger in terms of strength, but the purpose of the pre-season matches is not the final result of the match but only for the new coach who is testing tactics so I don't think and expect anything in the pre-season matches because in my opinion there is no assessment that can be given.

[emrecemsan]

There is still around a month to go for next season to kick off. Liverpool is still looking for a player to replace Salah. Will it be an experienced name or a young talent you think? 

I think they'll go for a young winger. How about Yan Diomande who has been linked with them as well for a long time? But recently Real Madrid is getting close to signing him. Liverpool had better act faster if he is still a target for them.

I also agree with the news of Taylor’s retirement as a referee. As you said, Taylor has indeed often made controversial decisions on the field, not just in the EPL, but in all the tournaments he’s officiated. Likewise, the clubs that feel they’ve been wronged by Taylor, their fans must be very happy to hear this news. Another EPL referee whose performance I consider poor is Mike Dean. I hope Mike Dean will also step down or retire as a referee soon.

In my personal opinion, Liverpool can buy young players and build them up gradually, like Diomande. Or another way is to choose a winger who can contribute to goals and chances like Salah. But whoever they bring in to replace Salah, they can't put all of Salah's responsibilities on the new winger. Instead, they will probably have to try to get other attacking players to score more goals alongside the new winger. Because Salah's contribution cannot be fulfilled by one person. It may be more realistic to spread it across the entire attack.
