Chelsea has already made 5 signings this summer.

Liam Delap - €35.5m
Estêvão - €34m
Dário Essugo - €22m
Mamadou Sarr - €14m
Kendry Páez - €10m

This is more than 100 million euros spending already.    Maignan is also likely to join soon like I said earlier. All these players in the squad... I wonder how many of them will be sold at the same time.

They are investing in young players okay but isn't this just too much already?

Chelsea have always not being playing in transfer market lately, they have always been the first to sign and the side to record the most number of signings lately. They still have up to 40 players registered in their name, will they make an overhaul this summer to release and free up space in the squad?

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think Frank could be an important candidate for Tottenham. I think he managed Brentford very well and achieved a good management. He has managed them for three years and now he may be ready to manage a team like Tottenham. Of course, we think that some things may change when the team changes. Time will tell us if he can have the same effect for Tottenham, but it is not hard to guess that many players will leave Tottenham this year. Who he wants and who will be transferred to the team could carry Tottenham to an important place in the Champions League and Premier League next year.

I agree, for me Frank can take the Spurs in a good direction , in fact they are in a very good position, they will compete in a very well-deserved UCL , sometimes you look at coaches with good or bad eyes depending on their experience , but given the good Opportunities I think Frank will not waste this golden opportunity , Football demands more every day, perhaps Frank's style fits in the Spurs.

[Stablexcoin]

He has no achievement? Quite alright but his Brentford side is one of the best sides in the Premier who have dealt with top sides like Manchester United,  Manchester City,  Arsenal and also Chelsea. Is that not achievement enough? Is that not enough to say he is a premier league proven manager? Brentford was another London side with less ambitions,  with Tottenham Hotspur I believe it will a much higher task. I'm certain he is a top appointment for them. Time will tell.

He will have the next three years to prove himself, there is nothing special yet but there is always a turning point for every manager, this could be the club where he achieve greatness, Tottenham won't keep him longer if he moves the team backward worse than the former coach. The reason why Postecoglou was sacked is because of where he landed the team in the Premier League despite giving them a Champions League spot, if Thomas Frank doesn't improve, he will be dropped from his managerial duties without delay.

[DanWalker]

They are really looking forward to strengthen the team even more and that's a very welcome development. After an incredible season they are still splashing lots of money to get quality players in other to compete again because they are fully aware that other teams in the league will also be preparing for next season, and that's how a true team does it. A team that still wants to win not a team like Arsenal lol. Who will sign two kindergarten players and feel that they've arrived meanwhile nothing.

Liverpool have completed a great season. The team was at the top of the table in the first round of the Champions League. They lost in the first match of the knockout round. Liverpool management knows very well that the next season is going to be more difficult for Liverpool. All the big teams in the Premier League are trying to strengthen their squad. Arsenal and City will bring a stronger squad to compete for the title next season. So Liverpool is also trying its best to strengthen the squad.

Liverpool is trying to add FLorian Wirtz to the squad to strengthen the midfield. If this young player can be added to the squad, Liverpool's midfield will be stronger. For this, Liverpool will have to spend 115 million+

Thomas Frank has the potential to both increase and decrease his value. If he can lead Tottenham to a better position next season, he can consider himself blessed and be able to increase his value. However, if he leads the team to a lower level than his former Tottenham coach, it may not be good news for his coaching career. This is a great opportunity for him to prove himself. We will see how he does with this opportunity next season.

Let's watch Spurs game next season to see if Frank is going to take the team to a good direction but until then it is still not certain if Tottenham will become better compared to how they were last season despite their lucky Europa League win. Tottenham going to the UCL is going to be challenging unless they make a very good use of the transfer market to get good players so that Frank can unleash his style and the plan for his new team.

Liverpool did an amazing job in the premier league. They won the league really early and there was no presure for them the entire season. With Wirtz they get a player that is amazing in midfield and will help them a lot. I just wonder if he will get used to playing in england due to a different playing style

You are right of course that Tottenham's newly appointed coach thomas Frank has the potential to increase and decrease his own standards. Before he took over at Spurs, we saw that the Danish player was the coach of Brentford but one thing that still seems strange to me is that Tottenham Football Club recently won the UEFA Europa League but still why did they change their team's coach? It is certain that this Danish player will be able to improve the Tottenham Football Club squad so perhaps the Spurs have given him a chance, at this moment they now have the UEFA Super Cup final match ahead of them and maybe they will participate there under the leadership of their new manager.

With the help of Thomas Frank, we have seen the improvement of Brentford. The team has qualified for the Premier League. Even in the last season, this team has challenged the giant teams of the Premier League. Despite not having a strong squad, they have performed well against the big teams. And this is why Tottenham have given Thomas Frank the responsibility of manager.

However, Brentford is a small club. Their target is to qualify for the Premier League. But Tottenham is a renowned team in the Premier League. So the target of this team will be the Europa League title and to be in the top 5 of the Premier League table. The Premier League is very competitive. So it is very difficult to be in the top 5 of the table and qualify for the Champions League. This challenge will not be easy for Thomas Frank.

Yes, even though he hasn't achieved much, I believe that Spurs have a good chance with Frank as coach, given his history. As everyone here knows, Frank had pretty good results with Brentford 317 match, 136 wins, 110 losses, and 71 draws. These results are quite convincing for Spurs' future in the new season, and Frank should not waste this opportunity to take them to a higher level. It may sound strange, but that's football anything can happen.

It's reported that Manchester United has officially approached napoli over Victor oshimen it is believed that a player could be even added to the deal so that oshimen can go over to Manchester United if this deal goes through it will be a wonderful thing for united because united has lacked a true striker in the past two seasons but oshimen wages could be a problem because the reason why no club has signed oshimen is because of his wages

This is the first time I am hearing of this, I hope it is true because Osimhen has been linked with Manchester United even before the end of the season so it’s about time we see something concrete and realistic between parties. I think Victor Osimhen will be a great signing for United, it will be United’s best signing in four years if they can make it happen.

At Manchester United, even Ronaldo couldn't help the team break through, despite scoring 18 goals and 3 assists in 30 games in his first season. I'm afraid that Osimhen can't help there either, because the problem is deep-rooted and ManU needs a lot of reform and change to finally become a successful club again.

[pawel7777]

So I guess it's official. Liverpool has confirmed that they reached agreement with Leverkusen and Wirtz will be joining the club on a (potentially) record breaking transfer amounting to £116 milion, which comprise of a guaranteed £100m + £16m add ons (bonuses). If the criteria for those bonuses are met, this will be the most expensive Premier League transfer.

The list of the top ones, including Wirtz at max price is:



With big money comes great expectations. Is Wirtz really worth that much and will he become a star of the Premier League? I have my doubts, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Wait, I'm confused here, Manchester United approved Napoli for Osimhen, is it not supposed to be Galatassry that they should approach? Or was Osimhen not sold? Or was he loaned to Galatassry by Napoli? If he was loaned then it's actually Napoli, Manchester United should approach. Well Manchester United is a great club and if Osimhen wants to play their then it's a welcome development so long as the club is willing to invest in quality players that can assist him to shine in the club if not, his really going to struggle if he happens to sign for them.

From my understanding Napoli is the parent club of Victor Osimhen, he was only at Galatasaray on loan last season and is expected to return to Napoli at the end of the season so all negotiations and approach for the player will be to Napoli not Galatasaray.

[Issa56]

He will have the next three years to prove himself, there is nothing special yet but there is always a turning point for every manager, this could be the club where he achieve greatness, Tottenham won't keep him longer if he moves the team backward worse than the former coach.

If any coach will take Tottenham backward, then we should expect Tottenham to be relegated, because Tottenham ended last season in 17th position, the next position after 17th is 18th which is the relegation zone. I will say Tottenham were just lucky that they were not relegated.

Since Tottenham are having a new coach right now, then let’s see how their performance will be in the coming season, I don’t use a coach’s performance in his previous club to judge how he will perform in the new club, let the season start and let’s see how Tottenham performance will be. Thomas frank has been offered a three year contract, he will have to show that he is capable of managing the team, if Tottenham’s performance doesn’t improve, I don’t think Tottenham will wait for three years before he will be replaced.

[TelolettOm]

He has no achievement? Quite alright but his Brentford side is one of the best sides in the Premier who have dealt with top sides like Manchester United,  Manchester City,  Arsenal and also Chelsea. Is that not achievement enough? Is that not enough to say he is a premier league proven manager? Brentford was another London side with less ambitions,  with Tottenham Hotspur I believe it will a much higher task. I'm certain he is a top appointment for them. Time will tell.

If seen from the trophy achievement side, yes, Thomas Frank has not had a trophy during his tenure as head coach. How could he not, he is the head coach of a small club that has just been promoted to the Premier League. And their struggle as a new club into the big EPL, they were able to reach 13th to 9th place. However, for a club as big as Tottenham, his performance that is doubted is certainly very reasonable.

But that does not mean that he lacks experience and ability, like Kompany who was able to bring and manage Bayern Munich to be very good even though he was doubted at the beginning. Hopefully he will make Spurs much better and increase their ranking in the Premier League. Thomas Frank is famous for his attacking tactics, with 4-3-3 as his preferred tactic. So, this is actually match enough for Tottenham.

I'm anticipating his performance and consistency because Darwin Nunez did relatively well for starters but fell off with time.
The pressure will be there for sure all eyes on him just like the past most expensive Epl players. Let's see if he can handle the pressure with time or else Liverpool may be hoping to offload him to Saudi club in order to cut lost in similar way they are hoping on Darwin Nunez.

Wow, so Caicedo as Enzo Fernandez was bought for £99 million and £103 million respectively. Excluding the largest Liverpool signing who's hasn't yet kicked an a ball officially for the Reds. It's only Gvardiol of Manchester City and Declan Rice of Arsenal that has really played to some good level of expectations in their new team. The rest hasn't really done anything considering their heavy price tag. Grealish for that price was another insane waste of money at that time for City because he hasn't played anything close to the money he was bought for.

[Fuso.hp]

With Wirtz they get a player that is amazing in midfield and will help them a lot. I just wonder if he will get used to playing in england due to a different playing style

Liverpool is a very popular team in the English Premier League and this club is a well-known club, so the performance they performed in the English Premier League last season is okay in the English Premier League, but their performance in the Champions League needed to be improved. When Liverpool qualified for the European League in the previous season due to their poor performance, we still considered Liverpool as the favorite team in the European League, but Liverpool could not play in the semi-finals that season. This season, the way Liverpool has been performing in the Premier League since the beginning, we at least assumed that this team would play in the semi-finals of the Champions League, but the way they disappointed in the European League last season, they have disappointed the fans in this season of the Champions League. Therefore, Liverpool should bring good quality players to the club and make proper plans with the players who are currently in the club.

[shinratensei_]

Is Wirtz really worth that much and will he become a star of the Premier League? I have my doubts, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think Wirtz's not really woth 150 million. 100 million (85 million + 15/16 million add ons) or less was still fine, but 150 is obviously overpaying. Playing in EPL ain't easy as Bundesliga. I've seen enough players who went from good at Bundesliga, then flop at PL.
However, i have no business with their money at all. So let's see how good or bad him in PL.
