Will be an interesting window for Villa, half the squad are leaving and they'll need to try and keep Mings. Tammy is probably gone with Chelsea looking to take their transfer ban.

will be interesting to see the maneuvers by Chelsea, with that ban.

i read they can sign players out of contract, Free Agents.
is that correct?

who from Chelsea, is leaving the team? if anyone
i know about Hazard, anyone else?

WILLIAN - GIROUD - PULISIC................PEDRO, ODOI, HIGUAIN
........BARKELY - KOVACIC...................CHEEK, JORGINHO,
................KANTE...........................DRINKWATER
ZAPPAC. - LUIZ - RUDINGER - ALONSO......CAHILL, AZPILICUETA

players that i know, that are on "loan"
Miazga
Kenedy, Bakayoko
Batshuayi, Moses, Morata

they definitely need some goal scorers.
i dont think W, G, P, P, O, H are a good enough group.
looks like a strong midfield tho, and good defenders.

They can only resign their own players, they can't register any one new is what the ban really is I believe.

So if they eat the ban this window they will likely be recalling loan guys like you said. The big loanees to me would be Mount and Tammy.

Tammy going back will really hurt villa.

Newcastle bring in Steve Bruce to replace Benitez.

Cursed club, they deserve better. Mike Ashley is like an unflushable turd.

Higuain is back at Juventus, he's no longer a Chelsea player.

I think Mason Mount is going to be a big player for Chelsea next season.

Kid is absolute mustard.

And they've sold their goalscorers.

Could they be in danger of relegation? Even with the likes of Sheffield, Villa and Brighton in the prem.

I don't really like him but Chelsea are not going to have any problems they have a ton of great young players on top of the squad from last season. And I'm guessing that Lampard will play Kanté in his best position which will again be like having 12 players on the pitch.

Man Utd are the team in real disarray. Pigs like Pogba, no defensive talent (or aged defensive talent) and an average (at best) manager. Unlikely but possible they'll miss out on Europe this season.

Arsenal - what are they doing? Defence in disarray, yet they are talking of offloading a fantastic striker - possibly one of the best in the prem in obamayeng. They are talking about big purchases but reportedly only have £50m to spend. If they play like the end of last season they don't make the top 6 either.

Everton and Wolves making good buys - West ham looking better too (not that that means anything) - and hopefully Leicester making a push along with Watford's ability of endurance and we could see a new team or two in the top 6.

Don't see anyone touching
1. Man City
2. Liverpool
3. Spurs

though.

Did anyone post this anywhere?

Twins or is the first the love child of Rapinoe and Jimmy Saville?

I think Spurs being a lock for top 3 hinges on Eriksen staying or going. It's looking like Spurs are going to sign Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon to add to Ndombele, which are all potentially fantastic signings, but if Eriksen leaves there's going to be an initial dip in overall team cohesion.

I think Wolves and Leicester are the teams to watch this season. I love the permanent deal for Tielemans and the team looks to be back to their fast-paced ways under Brendo. I'm curious how Wolves can follow up their amazing return to the PL. Arsenal just made a decent loan signing in Dani Ceballos, but their defence still looks suspect like you said.

Regardless, City and Liverpool look a class above everyone else and I don't expect much to change in that regard either.

Nice to see you posting here again, btw. Hope things are well.

Apparently signed Joelinton - don't know much about him but at least it's a striker.

Just in case you're not joking. Ozil.

Don't think much of it. Poch said something along those lines during his first year or two at the club. I think it's a polite way of saying "hurry up" to Levy.
