Txiki has to learn from the Phillips, Nunes deals no question about that. about 100m in fees and on top of that lots of salary spent on them plus bonuses.
feels a bit like we went into the summer without any plans hoping to not losing anyone but if we do we my pull the trigger.
also not many offers for Phillips, Cancelo or Nunes if we decide to bin him after 12 months. (cannot see much game time for Nunes especially as now KDB will not be out for 6 months until January so it will be harder for Nunes to get game time than it was last autumn, when he also was limited to few games strictly vs lower half sides)
all a bit flat with Pep also thinking of staying or not.
most positive is I dont see rivals making those signings that would make me worried. I rate Maresca high, imo he will sort Chelsea out and give them a style. Arteta will be looking for a striker and LB imo, hope they dont get anyone decent.
rags spending on some younger talents but with Ten Hag there, cannot see them trouble us and and they are lucky if they can get top4.
Villa most active so far out of last years top8, well they need some bigger squad for CL campaign we all see what happened to Newcastle when they had CL games last season. and now even more CL games due to new format, Villa will be feeling the schedule until January for sure.
scousers with this new gambling machine as a coach, no idea what to expect from them, dont think their squad is too happy that this guy took over from Klopp, may be a good manager but in his debut season PL can really test him. also zero new signings yet.
Spurs had some business but nothing major really. dont expect much from them, Postecoglou quite a naive coach, good style but not enough defending stability.
Newcastle also more passive than I thought, they probably want to hold onto Isak and Guimaraes, Gordon but can they offer CL football to them in the near future? not sure. last season's CL was a one off seemingly for them and even that didnt do much with group stage 4th place (fair enough was a damn hard group unlike the rags group:D)
obviously much more business upcoming until PL starts and even some more after that, but so far its quite flat, partially due to Euros, Copa and also some PSR limits maybe here and there.
