Klopp is really taking a risky move by selling their two veteran midfielders, it's similar like Chelsea. Although the performance of both Chelsea and Liverpool in club friendlies are good enough, but we don't know what will happen in the real match.
Chelsea and Liverpool lack of midfielders.
Manchester United lack of strikers.
I would say Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are shining in this season.
The transfer window is still open, and because both coaches are experienced, they will know whether or not to sign fresh players for the following season after selling some of them to other clubs. Teams who sell players do so due of the manager's decision; if those players cannot fit into the pattern of football they want to play, they easily release them and use the ones that are available, or better yet, look for better replacements for them. If they've been doing well even after selling some players, they should be able to do the same when the regular season begins.
Yeah right. For now there is still about 1 month left for all clubs who are still hunting for players in the transfer market. And I guess everyone should hurry up this time. Lately I think Chelsea have become more aggressive in the transfer market because even now the club is in the process of negotiating for Dusan Vlahovis who will be exchanged for R. Lukaku. And it looks like the two clubs have agreed.
Chelsea's performance in pre-season has also been very good and indeed, much praise has flooded the performance of the new Chelsea coach, Pochettino, who has indeed shown progress at a club that slumped last season. And yes, this is not an easy job. But it turns out Pochettino made it look easy. Well I'm looking forward to the real game in the next 2 weeks when the season starts. Will Chelsea be as good as in pre-season. Or maybe Chelsea will remain the same as last season.
