Marcelo Bielsa has signed a new one and José Mourinho has asked for a new striker on the eve of the season
To close the blog and before kick-off, here’s the Fiver at five, don’t have nightmares.
Other Spurs, this time Danny Rose, in a position for Genoa. The call from Milan you’re talking about in All or Nothing never happened. This is José Mourinho:
If Genoa has Danny Rose, I think they have a smart player; if you have a smart player in the last year of your contract, I think you’re in a prime position to make a smart deal for them. And if Danny Rose goes, I wish him luck. That’s one of the things you’ve been very transparent about and maybe you’ve been informed of one of Amazon’s pieces is that Danny is the kind of person who needs to play all the time. Some players are better suited to belong to a team with high quality where the festival is higher. All other players are only satisfied if they are in a club where they play all the time. It’s very complicated for you to stay here with us when it’s transparent. For me that Ben Davies is such a forged left-back, Ryan Sessegnon is an investment club, an emerging player that we have to improve, so it’s very difficult for Danny to stay with us this season, if he goes to Serie A and Genoa, I think he’ll be very smart for him.
Brendan Rodgers gets nervous about the move that didn’t happen to Jose at all.
No, we don’t have (a big enough team), and that’s something I’ve been pretty transparent about, I think our concept this year was to improve the intensity of our team. I have said that I think the players from last season have shown a lot of good times and for them to improve, it will take time, paintings in the training box. But you can’t avoid having to improve either. You want quality and that is what we have talked about and we look forward to helping the team.
Jurgen Klopp is here for the big Saturday.
West Brom will point to Branislav Ivanovic, who connected with Everton some time ago, overdid it and joined Zenit St Petersburg after three and a half years, Slaven Bilic is effusive.
It’s too close. I hope it’s done later, in a few hours. It would be a wonderful burden for us, a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League. He meets all the requirements for us. He’s done everything in his career, it’s beautiful, we’d love to. First, it will raise the quality, as well as his delight on and off the field, so it’s not just him, it’s more the influence he’s going to have not only on the defenders, but on the whole team around him. That’s why we’ve pointed it out as one of our main goals. It would be a wonderful signing for us.
Couple of advances to come.
A guy leaves Old Trafford. By PA Media.
Deji Sotona left Manchester United after the talented teenager turned down a new contract at the club. The 17-year-old scored the winning goal in the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals over Wigan, but the striker will not be available for the semi-finals if the tournament ends.
Young foreigners from the Quick Republic of Ireland Sotona have to leave United in search of new pastures, having failed to reach an agreement with the club. The Waterford-born striker has been connected to a variety of clubs across Europe and the teen’s touchdown point will be attractive after failing to reach a deal with United.
Sotona submitted a three-year professional contract through United, but speaks of a five-figure weekly salary that the club considers prohibitive.
Jamie Jackson heard Sabri Lamouchi from Nottingham Forest.
Good news! John Brewin is in town. Thanks for doing business.
And some genuine Paul MacInnes.

Peter Oh sent emails about the defender’s “raspberry beret”: “The photo of the redhead. Are you sure it’s Jerome and not Kevin Prince Boateng?”
I think it would make it more of a ‘blueberry beret’, which is a much less successful song for Chumbawamba.
Manchester United are close to signing teenager Charlie McNeill from 17-year-old Manchester City, who joins Manchester’s red side after scoring goals among City’s youths.
United is expected to pay a prepayment of just under $750,000 for McNeill, with payments of up to $1. 35 million if it activates the first-team clauses. The teenager is said to be drawn on the road to Old Trafford’s first team and will first enroll in the United Under-18 once the movement is ratified, having been between the two most sensible level academies.
I don’t see much of Portuguese football, so I don’t know anything about the Wolves’ new striker, Fabio Silva. Nuno Espirito Santo, however, knows a couple of things about old Porto.
“It’s a matter of skill,” Nuno said, “What we’re looking for is the skill and quality of the player and the player’s ability and ability to adapt as temporarily as you can imagine to our ideas, our team, and our environment.
“We’re happy with Fabi, how we’re going to do things with him, when and where we have to decide. It works very well and adapts quickly. I didn’t expect anything else because the core of the team is here and our rules,” the concepts and the way we socialize are obvious. After that, it all depends on the player and the time you need. One thing is for sure: quality and talent, Fabi has a lot.
Roy Hodgson hopes Crystal Palace will be more of an offensive risk this season following the arrivals of Michy Batshuayi and Ebere Eze. The Eagles finished 14 in the Premier League last time, despite scoring 31 frankly pathetic goals.
“We’ve recruited two players who are skilled enough to set goals for us and have shown the the most in terms of goals,” the Palace manager said. “We are very pleased with that and hope that other people like Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham can take over and raise a few more goals. In fact, I think we seem more powerful this season than we did infrequently last season when we didn’t have a festival for places. “
It turns out that football is also back in Spain, many people have forgotten it but, luckily for us, Sid Lowe remembered it.
Jerome Boateng is gone for rinsing, in honor of your grandmother.
A little piece of news from the Liverpool team: Captain Jordan Henderson can only be on the bench for the first game of the season against Leeds. The midfielder began his full education until this week after recovering from a knee injury that shortened his season.

“We are [always] active in the market with incoming and outgoing players, at this time the balance of the team is not ideal,” Arteta said. “There are still paintings to be done, but we will have to stay in the brain the headaches of this market. Digitally, some positions have overbooking. Some others, in terms of the express qualities we need, are not yet there. »
Arteta added that enthusiasts “may be quite relaxed” on the stage of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s contract and brazen the hypothesis that Alexandre Lacazette could simply leave. “He’s really satisfied here. You need to continue and make a contribution to the Array team. trained and drove was excellent.
Will Jose Mourinho get what he needs in the Spurs? Here’s what he had to say so far at his press convention before the season opened against Everton on Sunday.
I wish, I want a striker, but I mean very, very obviously, that the club knows that I want a striker and that he also wants a striker. Are we going to get one? I sincerely want that for the team’s balance.
Karl Gibbons has contacted liverpool: “Many discussions about Liverpool’s lack of signings, but this shows Klopp’s plan for ‘young people’ to return. As we’ve noticed in the last two years, there turns out to be a smart harvest. And as we have noticed from Fergie’s peers, giving young people a check can be very profitable. “
A little more Jurgen Klopp, this time about Liverpool’s match with Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcantara.

He has to paint hard for the team, he has to be in the conditions he was in last season, and then I’m sure he’s passing by to have a lot of scoring opportunities and when he gets the chance, he can usually finish. it’ll help you. The whole team is eager to step up and work hard for others and I think when we have the 11 most productive on the field, we’re definitely in a smart mode and we can win matches.
On Liverpool’s resumption from last season: “I have recovered on a professional level. My boys too. Overall it was challenging, the break we had was not one as it was mentally intense. Then a brief pause returned. We are now in our general rhythm. On Georginio Wijnaldum’s long career, he has been related to Barcelona. “Absolutely smart in the long run as far as we are concerned. Everything is fine for the moment. Between Gini, the club and me, everything is fine. Apart from anything to say to the [media]. On Rhian Brewster, connected to a play: “‘We have nothing to say about it. Rhian is our player, a glorious child, he scored many goals in the preseason. The attitude is in the team.

On the way to the holidays to Villa Park, the technician said: “It will be a game to give minutes to the players. Some have trained more than others and some will be more in position than others. Some have played foreign matches, which you don’t think you really need, but some of them have accumulated valuable minutes. We will give the other minutes opposite Villa so that everyone can start at a decent point, as it will be a long season.
“Again, this is the world we live in. This is the reality, there is no desire to discuss or talk about it, to be depressing or to complain. That’s the reality. We’re going to make the most of it. Of course, the first matches will be vital to also give the most minutes to the players because the season is very long. We want the most of them during the season. “

He’s back, he looks strong and he’ll play in a friendly opposite Villa. So Axel [Tuanzebe] is also approaching.

The FIFPRO global players’ union said it is “surprised and disappointed” that a concussion testing protocol has not yet been agreed.
The union expected a variety of head injury protocols to be tested in various competitions around the world during the 2020-2021 season after the game’s legislative body, the International Football Association Board, previously agreed to a trial in February.

Graham Potter, who appears to be the first Premier League coach to speak today, spoke about Frank Lampard’s Chelsea, who spent a lot.
I suppose for a club like Chelsea and for someone like Frank, who has competed in the most sensible way in his career, they will continue and strive to compete for the title. That’s what his target looks like. They’ve recruited well, they’ve got very smart players, they already have very smart players there, so they’ll be a strong team, that’s for sure.

And we’re back, even though we never left. Since the end of the longest season in the Premier League, we’ve had the Europa League, Champions League and League of Nations to entertain ourselves.

There is much to entertain, but here we are again, except that we are not, because in the foreseeable long term, and that can now be foreseen in the long term, high-level football will be played behind closed doors and will be an almost exclusively televised event. the screen just has to pass until you can’t.
The football itself: Liverpool v Leeds has been one of the most anticipated opening games in years. Fulham v Arsenal sees Scott Parker return to the Premier League, his latest post-game play-off interview making him the nation’s favorite. Crystal Palace v Southampton is a war between a team that dropped the ball after blocking and another that jumped. West Ham v Newcastle is a crisis club war, to maintain a semblance of normalcy. West Brom v Leicester see the welcome return of Slaven ‘Slav’ Bilic as opposed to an aspect of Leicester that fell off the edge of a cliff shortly before Covid-19 replaced our lives. Tottenham v Everton is a war for truth-written television star Jose Mourinho and, in all likelihood, a look at James Rodriguez. Sheffield United v Wolves see Chris Wilder’s Blades stripped of the wonder pack tag opposite Nuno’s looks, who are entitled to be more than a little stunned after last season’s efforts. And ultimately, on Monday, Brighton, opposite Frank Lampard, Chelsea, sees the London Blues revert to their old role as big spenders.
