Not a bad midfield and attack (if Kane stays) will their shite defence keep them out though ?

Signed a new keeper today - Seems a bit of a risk but then again Lloris was a appalling towards the back end of last season - They wanted Raya from Brentford I think who will inevitably run down his contract there and join Spurs for nothing next season if this new keeper is no good

Yeah their defence is shocking, Dier is a cart horse nowadays and Romero is a liability so they need to improve there which I’ve no doubt they will

They could be better in defence as old dropsy has been replaced in goal.

There’s obvious scepticism cause he’s come from the Scottish league but I do get the impression Postecoglou is a decent manager in all honesty

People seem to forget how much of a state Celtic were in when he took over, Rangers had just wiped the floor with them and the rest of the League (I don’t think they actually lost a game that season) and Postecoglou come in and made them a much better side and signed some decent players to boot

I don’t know much about him to be honest.

£105M for Declan Rice. Arsenal are barking mad. That’s an unbelievable price

Typical for English players. Very overpriced and very overrated.

 

[fernandopartridge]

English players are over priced but there is no denying that Rice is excellent

United have signed Mason Mount now, be interesting to see how he gets on there. I think it's a very good signing on the face of it.

Harry Toffolo doing an Ivan Toney on betting rules surely will miss the whole season will they never learn.

Dele Alli's done an interview with Gary Neville about being sexually abused as a kid and has recently been in rehab for a sleeping pill addiction and mental health issues. It's often what you don't know or see, incredibly brave of him to come out and talk about it. Hats off to the lad.

When he was talking about maybe needing more time in rehab but the media got hold of his team and mentioned they knew where he was - the state of our media. He didn't even seem that fazed by it either, entirely used to that kind of behaviour like it's normal.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Always about the headline, never the human. You can see him visibly shaking when he's opening up about it all, Neville welling up as well. I hope it was cathartic for him, these types of interviews are so important to show that opening up and talking is absolutely fine.

Everton sign Ashey Young .Thought there would hell to play on their forums but one I looked at seemed very happy.If we had signed him I'd be asking for my ST money back. Relegation favourites in my book even with the teams that have gone up. While on Everton Hope Ali can come back strong all the very best to him.

Puma lined up to supply PL match balls from 25/26 instead of Nike. There's been some iconic Nike balls but nothing beats the Mitre Ultimax for me.

Lutons first match postponed as the stadium work isn't going to be finished

Everton now seem to want to sign Jonney Evans might as well get Vardy and Billy Sharp as well.I don't rate Dyche and he seems to be living up to my thought on him

They are desperate they have just signed 84year old Ashley Young

Posted about that yesterday .Thats what prompted my post today

Ah yes sorry just seen that one above

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but is it just me that finds it funny that Arsenal have got gold trimming on their kit after finishing 2nd? It's meant to be a nod to the Invincibles team but the timing is comical.

 

[Tommo1993]

Almost as funny as paying half of what they did for Declan Rice.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I am amazed Rice has gone to Arsenal as the thought Man City would make a better offer to get him.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Wonder if Everton fans will realise they've been given a knock off version of our purple kit from last year

 

[SBT]

Prefer the collar on that one tbh

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

 

[David O'Day]

all that for him

 

[TomRad85]

Cringe club.

Sheffield United have signed Bénie Traoré from BK Häcken (which is my team in Sweden). They've paid roughly 4 million I think, and whilst he is young and has a few goals, he was playing a bit last season up front with Blair Turgott - which just about tells you the quality in that league. Massive step up, but will be interesting to see how he does.

I honestly think Luton will stay up. They are tough, play to their strengths and they're just a bit different to anything in the Prem, they're a sort of Burnley Mk2.

Actual Burnley Mk2 I expect to get battered by most of the top 10 teams if they try and pull their Man City Lite shit without a plan B. I can see Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool putting 25+ goals past them collectively.

I thought Burnley would struggle until Luton went up, all three of them are bad but Luton are the worst.

I think Luton and Sheff Utd are the bottom two which is lucky for some of the bad prem teams.

If Burnley had kept the keeper they had last year they would have had a couple of 8+ games but that Trafford they have signed is superior.

Can’t see them staying up but I think they’ll give it a good crack

Sheff U, Luton and Everton would be my picks as it stands

Think Forest will struggle again and Wolves will be down there

Brighton v Chelsea in the summer series, Brighton look like a team who have sold a few to many players

 

[alexccfc99]

Take no pleasure in saying it but can see The Villa having an absolutely excellent season
