Unconsciously, July is nearing the end, which also means that the much-anticipated Premier League is only about half a month away from the opening of the new season. Is there a little bit of excitement? Remember that I mentioned in the previous article, this summer's transfer window is much earlier than before, and the Premier League, as the richest league in Europe, is naturally busy, to know that only a short week has passed since the last article, the Premier League teams have appeared a series of transactions, and its degree of internal volume is comparable to today's professional life, in order to facilitate everyone to have a better understanding of the new season of the Premier League, Lingxi will continue to bring you the tour of the New Season Premier League teams.
[Last review: Premier League 22-23 season tour (Part 1): Super Blue Moon luxury is still rare in North London]
Looking back at the last issue of the article, I have introduced the first 10 teams led by BIG6, so in this issue, we may wish to pay attention to the situation of the middle and lower reaches of the region and the promoted polo teams to see if these teams are worth looking forward to in the new season! Of course, because this summer's transfer window still lasts for a period of time, the teams will certainly have a lot of big moves in the next time, especially in the last 24 hours, so the follow-up Lingxi will continue to pay attention to the latest transfer dynamics, and then launch more column articles, interested friends remember to pay attention to me, continue to pay attention to my latest developments.
Newcastle United (11th last season)
Transfers in: Defender Portman (Lille), goalkeeper Pope (Burnley), left-back Taggart (Villa)
Transfers: Goalkeeper Woodman (Preston), Midfielder Hayden (Norwich), Midfielder Hendrick (Reading), Defender Clarke (Sheffield United)
Evaluation: Looking back at last season's magpies, it can be described as a double day of ice and fire, in the first half of the time they were also in a relegation crisis, but since the new boss Saudi sovereign fund strong money ability support, the second half of the magpie instantly from a sick bird into a wings flying eagle, and finally not only successfully relegated, but also played a wave of incredible winning streaks, and the previous judgment of two teams. However, it is a little surprising that although the team has a gold lord dad and is no longer short of money, this summer Newcastle is not as expensive as people expected, but unexpectedly quiet and low-key.
As of press time, Newcastle has only three investments: 7.5 million euros to buy out left-back Taggart, who was loaned from Villa last season, 11.5 million euros to buy England international Pope from relegated Burnley, and 37 million euros to grab Lille's Dutch centre-back Botman from AC Milan. And the new signings at that time also made a great contribution to the relegation of the team, so it is understandable that the team will no longer attract reinforcements, but I personally think that Newcastle's goal next season should not only be willing to be willing to an ordinary mid-range ranking, and is bound to be able to reach the European zone, so it is estimated that in the next, Newcastle will have several signings, after all, the magpies' potential today is too great.
Crystal Palace (12th last season)
Transfers in: Midfielder Ebivi (Derby County/Visa Waiver), Midfielder Ducourt (Lens), Goalkeeper Johnstone (West Brom/Visa Waiver)
Transfer out: Defender Jacquez (Lubin Zagrebi)
Evaluation: Last season, Crystal Palace from the manager to the player, have undergone great changes, first the old coach Hodgson resigned, took over by Vieira, who has almost no coaching experience, and the team has a number of main players who left the team, so that last season many people were worried about whether Crystal Palace could be successfully relegated, but the fact is that although Crystal Palace has experienced injuries and lack of bench depth, in the end it is the lethality of Zaha, Carragher, Bentek and other people on the front line, so that the team not only has no relegation crisis, Instead, it achieved surprisingly good results, and the final ranking was higher than that of dark horse teams such as Villa and Everton.
In this summer, Crystal Palace in order to solve their own bench depth and aging problems, the team lineup has been targeted to introduce reinforcements, such as Ebio and Dukure and other young talents have joined, these two are only about 20 years old, and 22-year-old defender Chris Richards is also about to join, which can be described as unlimited potential. In addition, the Crystal team's defensive counterattack tactics in the run-in and experience accumulation last season, has now become more and more pure, and gradually become the unique tactical characteristics of the Crystal Palace, however, the Crystal Palace team still lacks a good side, in the 45 degree oblique pass, as well as the high school forward in front of the goal, there is still room to improve, just see if they will have other targeted reinforcements next, it is predicted that next season Crystal Palace will stage a wave of youth storm, do not rule out the possibility of becoming a dark horse.
Brentford (13th last season)
Transfers: Defender Hickey (Bologna), Midfielder Porter (Hull City), Goalkeeper Strakosha (Lazio), Defender Ben Mi (Burnley/Visa Waiver)
Transfer out: Midfielder Eriksen (Manchester United/Free)
Evaluation: Last season Brentford can be said to have had a very slightly surprised season, as the first time to play in the Premier League, they actually became the best performer of the three promotion horses at that time, especially the Premier League debut defeated the same city opponent Arsenal, won the season opening red and the night of the first win of the Premier League, it was crazy, this battle also laid the foundation for the team's smooth relegation after that, although the little bee after a little high and low, but finally successfully completed the relegation task.
To say that Brentford was able to successfully relegate last season, Eriksen, who joined the team halfway, is one of them, the addition of Denmark's "Eros" has made the team have more changes, only 11 league games, Eriksen contributed 1 goal and 4 assists, but due to Eriksen's heart problems, both sides have reservations when signing the contract, Eros' contract was terminated this summer, and finally chose to leave the team to join Manchester United, which is probably a big loss for the little bees, you know so far Brentford only has 3 investments, and the buy-ins are some young players, the strength remains to be examined, and it is worth mentioning that in recent years, the relegation of the promotion horse has been particularly difficult in the second season, so if Brentford wants to continue to stay in the Premier League, he must continue to use the opportunity of the summer window to strengthen the defensive line and midfield link.
Aston Villa (14th last season)
Transfers: Defender Carlos (Sevilla), Midfielder Camara (Marseille/Visa Waiver), Midfielder Coutinho (Barcelona), Defender Augustinsen (Sevilla), Goalkeeper Olsen (Roma)
Transfers: Goalkeeper Kalinic (Split Hayduk), Midfielder Trezeguet (Trabzon Sport), Midfielder Horihahn (Derby County), Left-back Taggart (Newcastle)
Evaluation: Last season Villa can be said to have had a not-so-perfect season, due to the sale of the star Gralis at that time, resulting in the strength of the team was greatly damaged, although the team also bought a lot of players to supplement the third line, but the effect was not large, the start was not good, they once slipped into the relegation zone, fortunately, after the change of coach and the arrival of Liverpool star Gerrard, coupled with the addition of Coutinho and Digne and other tough players, the team was back on track, and finally ended with the 14th result in the league, Although the results do not look dazzling, throughout the second half of the journey, Aston Villa is undoubtedly moving in the direction of recovery.
As a team with a pursuit, Aston Villa has also made appropriate reinforcements this summer, signing Severia's defender Carlos for 31 million euros, Coutinho from Barca for 20 million euros, Orson, Roma's goalkeeper Olsen for 3.5 million euros, Camara who freely introduced Marseille and defender Augustinsen from Sevilla, which can be said to have strengthened the entire midfield in all directions, further consolidating the team's defensive system. It is expected that next season Villa will have a high probability of advancing into the top ten under Gerrard's magical coaching whip.
Southampton (15th last season)
Transfers: Goalkeeper Lees (Altai/Visa Waiver), Goalkeeper Bazunu (Manchester City U23), Defender Kotchap (Bochum), Midfielder Ravia (Manchester City U23), Midfielder Alber (Glasgow Rangers), Striker Mara (Bordeaux)
Transfers out: Goalkeeper Leves (Bradford), Goalkeeper Foster (Tottenham), striker Nrunduru (Cheltenham), striker Shane Long (Reading)
Evaluation: In recent years, the Saints have almost all lived a relegation life, the same was true last season, and finally ended with only 15 results, the reason is that the Saints have been selling the core to make money to live, such as last season they sent away the number one striker Ince and the strong defender Bertrand, the result is due to insufficient blood supply capacity, there is no fresh blood replenishment, resulting in the stability of both ends of the attack and defense have been greatly affected, so that the team at some points in the season is difficult, and even the crisis of relegation.
After successful relegation last season, the Saints first changed the position of goalkeeper this summer, sending away the veteran Foster, bringing in Barzunu from Manchester City, while the midfield sent forward Shane Long, the Bordeaux introduced Mara, the rangers introduced midfielder Alber, it can be said that it is another big change, and the actual effect of this operation will be, I am afraid it will take time to slowly verify, but it can be expected that the relegation situation of the Saints next season will only be more difficult, after all, Newcastle has risen strongly, Most of the other teams have also begun to bottom out, and if the Saints do not increase their investment, it may be difficult to get out of the relegation title.
Everton (16th last season)
Transfer in: Defender Tarkovsky (Burnley/Visa Waiver)
Transfers: Defender Kenny (Hertha Berlin), striker RichardIson (Tottenham), striker Tosson (Besiktas), goalkeeper Vergagna (Campble), defender Branswaite (Eindhoven)
Evaluation: All along, Everton's squad strength is not bad, especially after the new boss entered the home, the team's annual investment in the transfer market is more than 100 million, but in this case, last season Everton was actually taken to the edge of the relegation zone, and finally relied on the help of relegation opponents to complete the relegation task and avoid falling into the Championship field. In addition to injuries and other factors, the appointment of Liverpool's meritorious manager Benitez at the helm of the whip is also a big mistake, although the change of Lampard coaching in the middle, as a young new manager who lacks enough experience, has not brought much improvement to the team.
Due to the continuous signing of a large number of "parallel goods" in recent years, resulting in a crisis in the current Everton finances, so this summer the team had to make up for the economic problems by selling the number one attacker Richardson, which means that Everton can no longer buy lavishly, so as of now, Everton has no other reinforcements except for the free introduction of Burnley defender Tarkovsky, it can be expected that next season, Everton's strength will most likely not rise and fall, and the test for Lampard will only be more, not less, I wonder if Everton will still have the same good luck as last season?
Leeds United (17th last season)
Transfers: Midfielder Aronsen (Salzburg), Midfielder Joka (Bayern Munich), Midfielder Adams (RB Leipzig), Striker Sinistra (Feyenoord), Left-back Christensen (Red Bull Salzburg), Midfielder Giabe (Manchester City)
Transfers: Defender Dubock (Willshire), defender McAllen (Stoke City), midfielder Phillips (Manchester City), defender Creswell (Millwall), striker Roberts (Queen's Park), midfielder Berhoni (Barcelona), midfielder Shackleton (Millwall), forward Rafinha (Barcelona)
Evaluation: Leeds United's performance last season was not ideal, under the influence of injuries and coaching storms, they almost said goodbye to the Premier League, but in the end they still got the favor of the goddess of luck and miraculously succeeded in the final round of relegation. Perhaps it was the realization that came with the escape, Leeds United has invested a lot in the transfer market this summer, so far Leeds United has spent hundreds of millions of euros and brought in a number of players, including 32.84 million euros to Salzburg's 22-year-old midfielder Brandon, 22.5 million pounds to sign Feyenoord winger Sinistra, 12 million euros to Bayern Roca, 13 million euros to Salzburg defender Christensen, 5.8 million to Ghanaian midfielder Giabe, The introduction of Leipzig Red Bull midfielder Adams for 17 million euros, the above 6 people have spent more than 100 million euros on Leeds United, which also makes Leeds United the second most expensive Team transfer fee in the Premier League this summer, after Manchester City, and it is clear that the team's goal for the new season is far from being relegated.
Through the analysis of these 6 players, it is not difficult to find that they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all very young, the youngest Guyab is only 18 years old, and the oldest Roca is only 25 years old, which shows that the team's youthful thinking is very obvious, and it is intended to build a potential youth storm team. In order to raise enough funds, Leeds United did not hesitate to sell the two main players of Rafinha and Phillips, and the two directly brought 106 million euros of revenue to the district team, in other words, Leeds United used the money of these two people to buy almost half of the team, and there was a surplus. So to say that this summer's most successful midstream team, Leeds United is definitely one of them, it can be expected that Leeds United's buying footsteps will not stop here, this new white rose may be able to bloom a different youth in the Premier League next season.
Fulham (last season's Championship winner)
Transfers in: Midfielder Palinha (Sporting Lisbon), Midfielder Pereira (Manchester United)
Transfers: Defender Sesseignon (Charlton), midfielder Jane Seri (Hull City), midfielder Zambo (Napoli), midfielder Carvalho (Liverpool),
Evaluation: I have to say that Fulham is really an extremely tenacious team, the past two relegations to the Championship, they have only used one season to return to the Premier League, this year is to return as the Championship champion, it is really not simple. However, even if Fulham has a tenacious fighting spirit and has talented players in the squad, the new season is still a big test for Fulham, after all, the first two Premier League events have experienced the embarrassment of a round of travel, even if they return as champions this year, it is unlikely to continue the glory of last season, so this summer window, Fulham must do a good job of reinforcements.
It's just that compared with the previous recruitment, this year's Fulham extra quiet, compared to the previous year's spending a hundred million to buy more than a dozen players and other crazy moves are completely different, this year's Fulham so far, only targeted the introduction of two midfielders, respectively, for 22 million euros to the Lisbon MidfieldErin Palinia and 7.5 million Euros to manchester United midfielder Pereira, aimed at strengthening the control of the midfield, perhaps Fulham after two relegation lessons, understand that the big change of blood is not necessarily a good thing, After all, after buying a large number of players, because of factors such as running-in, the previous Fulham often can not play its due strength, so it is better to strengthen on the basis of retaining the original main squad, of course, if Fulham wants to increase the probability of relegation in the Premier League, they will also need to strengthen and transform the back line.
Bournemouth (last season's Championship runner-up)
Transfers in: Midfielder Joe Rosewell (Blackburn/Visa Waiver), Defender Fredericks (West Ham United/Visa Waiver)
Transfers out: Midfielder Kilkenny (Stoke City), Midfielder Brady (Preston)
Evaluation: After two years of relegation to the Championship, Bournemouth successfully returned to the Premier League as the runner-up of the Championship, and under the leadership of new coach Scott Parker, today's "Cherry Army" has become a team with excellent athleticism and strong tactical literacy, looking back at the entire Championship last season, Bournemouth only lost 8 games in the whole season, which is the team with the fewest Losses in the Championship, and also has the best defense in the Championship, the number of goals is second only to Fulham, it can be said that the attack and defense are extremely balanced, in addition, " The Cherry Legion are both good at possession and counter-attacking opportunities, last season they had the third most chances to counter-attack in the Championship, and how to make the most of counter-attacking scoring in the new season will be the key to Bournemouth's successful relegation to avoid falling into the Championship again."
In terms of reinforcements, this summer Bournemouth did not recruit a lot of troops, but in the case of retaining the original main force, the thickness of the squad was supplemented, respectively, freely transferred to Blackburn midfielder Roswell, and freely transferred to West Ham defender Fredericks, so far has not spent a penny, this kind of unchanged operation has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that there will be no problems such as run-in and tacit understanding, and sometimes the original squad that may be run-in will be stronger than the squad of many new signings; The disadvantage is that the maximum strength will not be too high, but given that Bournemouth's current squad is relatively young and dynamic, plus there is a tactically flexible manager, Bournemouth is expected to remain competitive enough in the Premier League in the new season.
Nottingham Forest (fourth in last season's Championship)
Transfers: Striker Avalli (Berlin United), goalkeeper Henderson (Manchester United), defender Biacconi (Truyah), defender Moussaniag (Mainz), defender Richards (Bayern), goalkeeper Hennessy (Burnley), midfielder O'Brien (Huddersfield), defender Tofro (Huddersfield), midfielder Jesse Lingard (Manchester United/visa waiver)
Transfers out: Defender Fegredo (Hull City), goalkeeper Hovas (Luton), goalkeeper Samba (Lance), striker Panzo (Coventry)
Evaluation: With the play-offs, Nottingham Forest has successfully returned to the Premier League after a gap of 23 years, which is also the longest interval in the history of the Premier League. At present, this Forest team is a team that focuses on defensive counterattack, and the most prominent feature of last season is that the defense is extremely solid, and it is good at using rapid conversion and counterattack to punish opponents, but whether this tactic can still work in the Premier League is debatable.
Perhaps it is realized that the strength of the team is not enough to survive in the Premier League, so in this summer's transfer market, the Greek ship king boss is also generous, giving enough coach Steve Cooper support, so that under the operation of the latter's one-stop buy-and-buy, now Nottingham Forest has spent nearly hundreds of millions of euros on reinforcements, becoming another big buyer in the Premier League, and most of these new signings are active internationals or fringe internationals, which can be described as excellent! However, behind the big purchase, the Forest team is also accompanied by great risks, to know that the previous years of Fulham is a lesson from the past, so many new signings, how to run together is not a small problem; In addition, it is to buy so many international footballers, once the End of the Year World Cup arrives, the Forest team is likely to encounter the FIFA "virus", and the injury risks that will exist at that time can be described as not small, so as an old team, how will Nottingham Forest perform after returning to the Premier League? It will take time to verify slowly.
