Finally ! England Premiership will start and again i can bet on my favorite team Arsenal . Simply their style of play impresses me because they play very attacking football with lot of goals for example not like Chelsea ( i hate that team ) . Team is almost same like last year but one huge miss will be transfer of Patrick Vieira to Juventus . But on the other side two talented players like Francesc Fabregas and Mathieu Flamini will play much more in first eleven and show how realy good are they . In this new season Arsenal didn't spent too much money but they did great job . They brought Belarus international Aleksandr Hleb who excelent midfielder . Now with two wingers Robert Pires and Fredrik Ljungberg Arsenal will be goal machine team .With superstar attacker like Thierry Henry they can score against each team in the world . Only problem for Arsenal will be injury of central defender Sol Campbell who is injured for two weeks and all other players are fit . Althught they lost against one of biggest rival Chelsea in Charity Shield Cup 2-1 after Newcastle they will play against Chelsea and try to revenge them . Beside Hleb they also brought - Vito Mannone (Atalanta), Alexandre Song (Bastia - loan), Armand Traore (Monaco).
Only good player who left club ( ofcourse beside Vieira ) is Edu who went to Valencia . Other not important transfers are - Jeremie Aliadiere (Celtic - loan), Adam Birchall (Mansfield Town), Jordan Fowler (released), Danny Karbassiyoon (Burnley), Stephen O'Donnell (Falkirk), Frankie Simek (Sheffield Wednesday), Olafur-Ingi Skulason (Brentford), Graham Stack (Reading - loan), Sebastian Svard (Vitoria Guimaraes), Stuart Taylor (Aston Villa), Chris Wright (Boston).
This season you must pay attention on young and extra talented attacker who is born in 1986 in Amsterdam - Quincy Owusu Abeyie . This player have much potential which surley Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger could use . Remember that name - Quincy he will be true star in next coupple years .
I forgot to say something about new defender from Monaco - Armand Traore . He is only 16 !!! Surley that he can gain much expirience beside Sol Campbell , Ashley Cole and Lauren . He represents future of Arsenal . Arsenal also have more good defenders - like young Swiss stopper Philippe Senderos and reilible Kolo Toure . In one word team should work just fine this season . This season they should fight for title and finally try to do something more in CL .
Now some words about Newcastle . For this game they have many problems . First of all their star player - Alan Shearer is injured for three days also like - T.Bramble , C.Babayaro two very important defenders also best GK is injured - S.Given and also attacker Michael Chopra. Babayaro, Shearer and Given are injured for only three days and question is will they be in team in Sundays clash against Arsenal . Bramble is injured for two months . This season club is much weaker than last . They sold many important players like - Darren Ambrose (Charlton), Craig Bellamy (Blackburn), Laurent Robert (Portsmouth), Andy O'Brien (Portsmouth), Patrick Kluivert (Valencia), Aaron Hughes (Aston Villa) . Especially important was midfielder Laurent Robert . Best singing is Turkis midfielder Emre who is established world-class player with good technical skills and tenacious style . Maybe he will now in Newcastle have much space than in Inter . One also important singing for Newcastle is Scott Parker from Chelsea . Now with fighter Kieron Dyer new player Emre , Scott Parker , Lee Bowyer and Jermaine Jenas Newcastle have midfield for respect . Oops i forgot attacking midfielder Hugo Viana. Biggest problem is defense . I realy don't know why did they sell Andy O'Brien who was excelent defender . And with Bramble injury defense will be very weak in first coupple games . Beside Emre and Parker Newcastle brought - Craig Moore (Borussia Monchengladbach)Lee Clark (Fulham)Tim Krul (ADO Den Haag) . Craig Moore is decent singing . He is good defender and i expect him in first eleven . Newcastle have good manager Graeme Souness but i don't like his style of play . This season Newcastle should finish in first ten teams . Game should be very exciting so i won't miss it . Arsenal to win with handicap !
