Of money.

£ 1 billion in losses? Inflated salaries? Loss of revenue? Global epidemic? So 2020. Premier League teams are racing at a dizzying pace towards another summer in which they will jointly spend over £ 1 billion, perhaps on their way to breaking the 2017 record of 1.4 billion. It was a summer in which the two biggest deals in the history of players entering the league (Jack Grillish and Romulo Lukaku) were recorded. Three of the four Englishmen with the highest price tag made the move in the summer (besides Grillish, also Gideon Sancho and Ben White). Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa have spent over £ 100m. Arsenal and Leicester are not far behind.

Harry Kane.

The big question of the summer has not yet been answered. The king of league goals last year sprinkled more thick thick on his desire to leave Tottenham to win titles. Daniel Levy has given him a £ 150million price tag, which reportedly does not impress Manchester City despite a Greylish deal. Fair play is for the weak. Now is the time to go wild. Even Pep Guardiola has not tried to hide the interest. Show a willingness to open negotiations, City will be there.

Kane is having a hallucinatory summer.

It is turning from a basket of unprofessional professionalism into a symbol of capitalism.

There is nothing wrong of course with wanting to move forward, but the news (denied by the actor) that the breeze from training as part of his private war of liberation made him less legitimate in the eyes of some commentators.

Opinions range from "something dirty happened behind the scenes that made him disrespectful," as Gary Neville claims, to Roy Keane's: "I'm pretty sure Tottenham take care of Kane. .

To say 'last year I was promised'?

I have never heard such nonsense in my life. "

The big ones.

Kane's move will define the balance of power.

"If Kane goes to City, it's a perfect match and I'm betting on City as champions," claimed former striker Chris Sutton, who now serves as a BBC commentator.

"If not, it's Chelsea's year thanks to Lukaku. City will not take a championship without a striker. What happened last season was extraordinary. It will not happen again."

Sutton is not alone.

Chelsea after winning the Champions League and the Super Cup plus a familiar monster in the form of Lukaku is marked as the main contender for the crown, even more so than Manchester United.

It's surprising that despite such an impressive and one-sided championship, plus the addition of a virtuoso like Grillish to a monstrous squad, City are still marked as having to prove their deterrence.

Perhaps the reason is that extravagance has become synonymous with power in the Premier League.

Chelsea, who have twice given up on the Belgian in the past, have further deepened their fearsome squad right in place of what was their weak point last year.

And Lukaku is known to be a gate monster.

113 Premier League goals in 252 appearances.

47 league goals at Inter in the last two years and he is only 28. In terms of the Blues, it is a safer bet even for Marling Holland.

It is also cheaper.

Another virtuoso on a monstrous staff.

Manchester United made the list in the window with the signings of Sancho and Rafael Varane, which increased the pressure on Ola Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norwegian is the coach who has held the position the longest since Alex Ferguson. None of his predecessors held three full seasons. Solskjaer begins the third season under heavy pressure to bring home a degree. United has closed the professional gap in the roster from its rivals in recent years and now the excuses are over. Solchiar is defined as the "Mini Ferguson," but it lacks the most significant feature of remove: the wineries, the art of victory. For United to be a factor, Solskjaer will have to show he has other game plans besides outbursts. His team will not be able to afford to lose so many points against inferior rivals on paper.

"Chelsea are going to be up, but they will have to start the season well. United? They want to be part of the conversation. When you sign Varane and Sancho it means you are in the game. Liverpool have not done enough in the transfer window," analyzed Rio Ferdinand. On the general procurement obsession.

Liverpool have indeed been calm this summer.

again.

It is significantly less deep than its rivals, but it is important to remember that it has refreshed.

Virgil Van Dyke is back and also Muhammad Salah and Sadio Mane rested properly this time (but will leave in the middle of the season for the African Championship).

A bit funny to say that, but Liverpool are starting a season from a certain inferior position, from fourth place in the power meter.

It will not necessarily play against her.

Who will make it to the top 4.

Leicester, with the great additions of Pattson Dhaka, Bobcari Sumara, Ryan Bertrand and probably Yannick Vesturg, are seen on paper as a team that can challenge the top four, having missed out on the Champions League in the last two seasons. Arsenal are bursting with talent and will try to play on the youngsters plus the fact that it does not have Europe on its head. The obstacle: meetings against Chelsea and City in the three opening rounds.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have taken their time this summer and expectations of it are significantly lower than in recent years. She waited with the appointment of a coach and went for Nono Aspirito, who admittedly comes after a big success at Wolves, but also with the feeling that he was chosen by default. She takes time with the purchase and left things to the last minute, among other things probably until the picture of Kane becomes clear. This lost time could play to its detriment. One must also pay attention to the villa that will feature a new offensive trio in the form of Emmy Boandia, Leon Bailey and Danny Inges - definitely a good use of the money that came in from the sale of Grillish.

The audience. With all due respect to money, big transfers and the English player returning to fashion in the homeland of football, the opening of the season in the Premier League is marked by a real return of the crowd to the pitches for the first time since the outbreak of the Corona. The groups will be able to host almost no crowd restrictions and this makes the celebration even bigger. "The return of the fans is the main thing this season," said Premier League general Richard Masters. This weekend there will be more than 300,000 spectators on the pitches and it's just fantastic.

"" We lost revenue of £ 1.5 billion a year and a half, "Masters continued. "It created a challenge for the teams and they met it. It was not easy, but now that the fans are back and thanks to the broadcasting rights agreements, we feel safe." Corona Out. There is no football. Life in the Premier League is back on track and it's going to be a huge fucking. Thank you for missing out.
