Ever seen the way Enzo Fernandez treated Madueke and Mason Mount as traitors to Chelsea Football Club. But he doesn't treat Dewsberry Hall, and Gallahga that same way. Enzo Fernandez has been the man that fight against traitors for Chelsea fans whenever he faces them against another team. He always have fight palyers who jumped ship when Chelsea were at their lowest. The thing is, Enzo Fernandez didn't just sign for a rival club. He would have kissed the Manchester City badge, and he made this statement. "I always want to be in a club as big as Manchester City. It has always been my dream to play for this club".

This is the height of hypocrisy in football. Enzo Fernandez is the biggest betrayal in football history. He dissed his own teammate only to become the worst villain. The level of hate-watching on Enzo Fernandez will be much higher this season.

Set your sights on something better. Soccer today is no different from business dealings between one company and another.
Not all players show respect for their former teams with the words they speak after being officially introduced as new players on their new teams. This isn’t the first time this has happened in soccer transfers. There are also many players who remain loyal and continue to show respect for the teams that made their names.
Forget about it, man. Loyalty is reserved for players who are shaped by history, and it’s no surprise when players who lack respect continue to shine.

There are some players that are very courageous enough to speak about their current club probably in a bad manner, I remember where Ronaldo was been interviewed by Pier Morgan, he talked about how some of the facilities in the Manchester United gym are old, he had to criticize the club to an extent. But then it is always good so show respect to your previous club, this is because you are an ambassador of that club, regardless of how sore your relationship might have been before you left, it's good to show respect, it is even better you talk less about your previous club, they were your family at one point in time in your life, we all know that football preaches about showing of sportsmanship, and as a sportsman, you should lead the way.

Chelsea thought they signed Lamine Camara to replace Enzo Fernandez but they failed. now they're left with just three midfielders and one of them is Valentin Barco, who’s a converted left back.
They’ll have to pull off a 55 to 60 game season relying mostly on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. They are completely screwed...

Chelsea are lacking squad depth in the midfield, letting Fernandez leave following his intentions to move away from the club, keeps the midfield open. Caicedo and Fernandez pairing would have strenghten the midfield, right now that every players in different positions are picking their forms back. There is a substitute player that can play the midfield, managers already used him in that role, Chelsea's captain Reece James can fill up that position.

Yes we are lacking in depth and I'm quite curious how we are going to settle this from the fact that if we still have Andrey Santos things will be a lot easier for us.

Whioe James is still more likely available I'm scared of his injury records and that's the same fact for Latvia, if both can stay fit and Caicedo is available then we can do better an against big teams we won't be in any desperation or lacking quality,  although Henderson is still available for the experience but I feel Xhaka would have been more reliable

I'm still trying to figure out the relationship between the instance his given concerning Fernandez and the instance you're giving concerning Ronaldo's interview. He said Fernandez was always fighting players he felt were traitors to Chelsea and now, he himself has jumped ship and moved to a direct rival of his former team and you're talking about Ronaldo who talked about the bad state of the club he made his name. I sincerely see no relationship between the actions of these men. One is going to be playing against his former club directly and Ronaldo didn't sign for rival club, so I wonder why you brought him into this or using him as an instance in this very context.

He was talking about players not respecting their former teams with words and I to remember the issue of Ronaldo when he had that interview with pier Morgan. Ronald wasn't supposed to make such an interview and showing Manchester United in a bad light, I think it was after that interview he left for Saudi. He talked about players that remain loyal and show respect to the team that made them, I had to give instance to Ronaldo and you are saying you don't see the relationship. Was Ronald supposed to talk about Manchester United in that manner, loyalty to your former club that made you is key, because you serve as a Role model, mind you I was quoting what Yudi09 said.

Sunderland being back in the Premier League feels weird after all these years. Interested to see if they can actually stay up.

Looking at Arsenal's current situation, we can say they are much better and more prepared than Aston Villa. Arsenal are one of the biggest and most ambitious teams in the championship race this year. Of course, they are in a much better position than Aston Villa and have a higher quality squad. It wouldn't be accurate to say they will win every match they play this year, but it's a fact that Arsenal will be the favorites in every game they face. Aston Villa hasn't had a good start to the league so far.

Arsenal is now able to withstand Aston Villa because one of their challenges in the Premier League is trying to find a balance between all the competitions. They also have every opportunity because, even last season, they were able to make it to the Champions League final. I like how they are trying to perform better than last season, and if they can do that, they deserve a trophy. And it has gotten to that point, and I and there are clubs that I don't have to worry about this season, and that is the city, and I doubt if there will be anything that will stop us from performing well this season, so there is not much to do this season because we are in for whatever challenge.

Aston Villa are not as strong as they used to be, and so we can't expect them to perform as well as they did last season. If their team was the same as last season, this could have been a strong match, but since the team is not at its previous level and most of the good players have been sold, I don't expect them to win any titles. The main battle in the Premier League will be between Arsenal and Manchester City. I also can't expect much from Manchester United or Liverpool, and so the title will go to Arsenal or Manchester City.

I was watching Saudi league the other day and I saw this prominent Aston villa striker, Watkins in the Saudi club, I wanted to be sure it was him when I saw his face, to be sure it was not a look alike, I waited to see the name behind his shirt, it was really him. Aston villa had sold him , they sold few other top players, that's where I put the pieces together, no wonder Aston villa has been terrible this season. How did they manage to sell some of their top players in a single transfer. The coach will be the one to bear the blames now because the club won't be able to perform the way they did last season, its showing already that theu are not good anymore the way they were before. When the poor results starts piling up, he will be sacked meanwhile it's the management that sold the players.

The Saudi deals are a game changer for any player or any club, their offers are those that you can’t just resist or say no to. I believe Aston Villa has been made an irresistible offer, and so maybe they felt if they took the deal, they’ll be able to sign in more key players that will at least try as much to subtitle the players they’ve sold. But yeah that wasn’t such a great move by Aston.

You understand the point I was making by quoting that post above, right?
Let me clarify once more: not every player shows respect for the teams they played for or the clubs that made them famous. On the other hand, there are those who maintain a good relationship with their former teams even after moving on, earning them respect as legends.

Ronaldo openly criticized the situation he faced upon his return as a player. He wasn't insulting the club itself; rather, he had a poor relationship with the Manchester United manager at the time.
The fans were able to distinguish between the two, which is why he remains a respected figure and a legend.

As for the Enzo situation, I wasn't happy about it either—especially regarding his celebration while playing for the Argentine national team during the World Cup.
I hope my point is clear and won't be misinterpreted.

But yeah that wasn’t such a great move by Aston.

The saudi offers is actually becoming extremely difficult for clubs and players to turn down because the financial package can completely change a player situation but for Aston Villa, i think the main issue is what happens after selling key players and if the replacements do not come in quickly and have the same impact, the money from the deal won’t mean much on the pitch and they may have made a smart financial decision, but from a competitive standpoint, it could definitely come back to hurt them.

Saudi League has not being the best over the years before the presence of Christiano Ronaldo, that was the moment most football fans diverted their attention to watch this prominent league. Ever since, there have being several big name signings that has added to the least and slowly the Saudi League is becoming one to look out for.

With the Saudi money, there is every chance that this league will one day be amongst the top leagues in the world. This might not be the reality now but if this big moves continues, many fans could consider moving their interest to the Saudi League.

The exciting match this weekend is Arsenal vs Chelsea.
It looks like this is a big game we need to watch for the start of this season. Right now, I see the stats of Arsenal and Chelsea as equally strong. In their first two matches, both got 3 points, but Arsenal is much higher in the rankings. In the last three meetings, Arsenal has always won, so it seems in this match the home team Arsenal will be heavily favored to win. Some betting sites also predict odds of 1.60-1.79 for Arsenal. It looks like Arsenal might win 1-0.

[Stavri]

Reason why I think they’ve matured is because they were able to grind out victory last season in tough games and that’s how they won the league and they’ve continued in that form, so it has become a part of them. We can only wait to see if they’ll replicate that tenacity and strength this season.

Yes, it’s true Aston Villa have been one of the toughest opponents for Arsenal in recent times, they’ve caused them the league at one point. So a match against Villa is always a battle since Unai Emery came here has been a torn in Arsenal’s flesh.

Arsenal will win Aston Villa over and over again this season and that's a fact, the best Aston Villa's outcome would be a draw but a win is almost impossible considering their recent performance. Arsenal are more composed with better understanding amongst them selves this season and that is one thing that winning the league trophy does, it's likely that they would also win the league this season too.

Looking at Arsenal's current situation, we can say they are much better and more prepared than Aston Villa. Arsenal are one of the biggest and most ambitious teams in the championship race this year. Of course, they are in a much better position than Aston Villa and have a higher quality squad. It wouldn't be accurate to say they will win every match they play this year, but it's a fact that Arsenal will be the favorites in every game they face. Aston Villa hasn't had a good start to the league so far.

Arsenal is the team that wrapped up the transfer window by pouring money into defenders. i know they have cash to burn, yet they bought Tzolis for the left wing, a position where two players just left and he doesn't even have a backup...
As for striker, while they were the team in world football most in need of a reinforcement up front, they started the season with Kai Havertz.

I really think that Arsenal is the favorite for this game, but I also think that Chelsea have started the season very well with scoring 7 goals in their first 2 matches, but they have also conceded 5 goals, which shows how poor they are defensively.  This should really be the match that will test Chelsea' attack and Arsenal 's defense,  so I really can't wait to watch the match, although I just have the feelings that Arsenal will win at the end of the day.

This is the first tough match of the season cause it's between two big EPL teams and a derby match, I think this match would be tough to predict cause derby matches are always like that but as expected Arsenal would be favored more cause they're the current champions but Chelsea won't be easy to win, it could even be tougher than Arsenal's experience with Aston Villa.
 It's a home game for Arsenal so a win from them is expected but since it's a derby match I suspect that the match might end up being a draw, how about picking Arsenal to win or draw?

Hull City being in 3rd position after premier league matchday 2 should not come as a surprise to you because this is not the first time newly promoted club in the premier league is securing 3rd or 4th position in the league standings after few games has been played even Sunderland did the same thing in their first season in the premier league after being promoted to the premier league but they could not keep up with the pressure and they dropped out of the top four, and i believe Hull City will face the same thing as they play more games.

A mediocre team like Hull City often has results like this every season, and they tend to lose consistency in their performances as they approach the middle of the season. Sunderland, however, are different. Although the club has not competed in the EPL for a long time, Sunderland were once one of the most popular clubs in the league. So, even if they lose their position in the top 4, finishing in the top 7 would still be a good achievement.

I will make an early prediction that Hull City will finish the season below Sunderland.

Hull City is doing well and the owner knows what he's doing. even if they get relegated despite these signings, he picked up players he can flip without any hassle. he can sell them off one by one and use the funds to keep the club afloat without running it into the ground financially.

Well, Arsenal - Chelsea match is the biggest of PL matchday #3 & it’s the closing match as well. Aside from this being an interesting match, I personally have no intention of placing a bet, I think it's risky as both teams have a strong winning chance. As for betting, there are still plenty of matches more worth considering, like Ipswich Town - Liverpool match which kicks off in less than an hour. So, specifically for Arsenal - Chelsea match, I’m just going to watch, I won’t be placing any bets, LOL.

All games in the Premier League Competition are damn interesting with lot of actions, and drama.
Arsenal has the defenders and structure which can help them win this game, but Chelsea in the last two fixtures have scored seven goals. They will be hoping to get a goal against Arsenal at home. One of the hot stats about this game is that, Arsenal have taken the better edge over Chelsea in the last 12 meetings between these clubs. I'd say Arsenal win 2-0.

Arsenal are in a better position than Villa so far so your words seem logical. Especially considering the squad, confidence and last season's title, it is not unreasonable to call Arsenal the favourite. But forget this we have seen many such incidents where even a big team loses to a small team. So there is a difference between being a favourite and saying the result is certain in advance. Yes, this time too they only won 1-0. But it is not that Villa was completely helpless throughout the match.

[AYOBA]

I really think that Arsenal is the favorite for this game, but I also think that Chelsea have started the season very well with scoring 7 goals in their first 2 matches, but they have also conceded 5 goals, which shows how poor they are defensively.  This should really be the match that will test Chelsea' attack and Arsenal 's defense,  so I really can't wait to watch the match, although I just have the feelings that Arsenal will win at the end of the day.

That’s what I’m anticipating in the Arsenal upcoming match against Chelsea. Although that Chelsea have started the season with a good performances, but that doesn’t mean that they can find it easy to defeat Arsenal. Because so far Arsenal were also starting the season with great performances, i don’t think they can find the match challenge am confidence that they will get positive results against Chelsea. Normal we all know that when we talk about the defense Arsenal are always the best, but let see how the test will goes against Chelsea.
