Season Preview:
Man City and Arsenal have distanced themselves as the clear favorites for the title. With Arsenal closing the gap and beating Man City on xG could this be the year that they get over the line? There are some large error bars on Liverpool with klopp retiring and Salah getting older, will they be able to insert themselves in the title race again like they did last year?
For top 4/5 can Aston Villa repeat last years feat thanks to the normal culprits being completely incompetent or will one of Chelsea/United get their **** together finally (hopefully not)? Spurs went full Spurs throwing the match vs City to stop arsenal from winning the title while costing themselves top 4 in the process, will they be in the race again despite doing no business at all in the summer to address squad needs?
The relegation fight as usual has the 3 promoted teams as favorites to go back down, but with PSR looming in the background could we see a surprise team relegated?
Is this the first time a player has released a PR statement after one game of not making the squad?
Maybe this will give the other 12 goalkeepers Chelsea have a similar idea. I’ve never heard of any of them except Petrovic or Kepa, but surely none can be as **** as Sanchez.
What is next for him if he wants to leave? He is on 350k I think?
Al-Itad maybe?
Saudi or the MLS I guess. He and his agent have made him too toxic for most clubs to touch.
Reminder for anyone interested in fantasy eggball, we draft this coming Sunday:
I don't understand how Chelsea's wage bill can even come close to balancing
No MLS team is going to pay that salary for a Sterling. Saudi or weekly statements from the stands I guess.
Chelsea now want to add Chiesa to their small roster. Player 43 I believe?
Not bad.
They wouldn't have to. Chelsea have been paying the majority of Lukaku's salary while on loan. I'm sure they'd take a big hit to get players down to a good squad size

Im really not sure. They just signed Joao on a 6 year deal
Maybe there is a reason behind it but it feels like me when playing football manager and ending up starting the season with 6 RWs and no LB.

Yeah the hit being less money for Sterling but his salary fully off their books. With that being said, I don't understand anything Chelsea does so there's that.
Apparently Felix is confirmed on a 6 year contract.
the problem with joão felix is he thinks he has to take 12 touches, a couple of dribbles and ideally a shot on goal every time he touches the ball. if he had a brain and could just pass the ball quickly he would be a very good player
Is the plan to recoup a good chunk on the duds through 8 years of loan fees? I'm hoping they all just bogarde boehly and the house of cards tumbles.
Scan of the Leicester forums and they seem to think they are headed for one of the all time worst pl seasons. Their side doesn't look a whole lot worse than the rest of the dross that will be down there?
I can only assume they're going to say Atletico have paid 1 billion for Gallagher

Think they are facing 2 charges that can both result in point deductions for their overspending in the Championship.
Think they are fine squad-wise.
Barcelona are letting Gundogan leave if a club wants him.
It'd be good to have him back in the PL for a season or two, but I imagne he'll want to finish in Germany.
Barca need to free up his 15m salary to register Olmo.
It's such a well ran club. Should be a course in uni.
He's also just said he's retiring from international football, so it'll be a good pickup for someone.
Only a matter of time before Spurs score

If you look at the payroll, the average salary is lower than the top clubs (average) but then they have to pay double the amounts of player (not good)
Ironically the top 3 highest earners are Lukaku, Sterling & James
Chelsea's accountant must be an international grand master of chess
I wonder where Osimhen is gonna end up, looking like PSG or Chelsea with PSG current favs
Arsenal should go all in for him imo
