The Pre-season begins

So most clubs have named their pre-season squad, some disappointing (like Arsenal), some pretty exciting (Manchester United. Yes?).

Without signing any big names and a number of players threatening to leave the team, Arsenal is apparently having a pretty bad summer, or should I say Arsene Wenger is having a really bad summer? Clichy already moved on; Fabregas looks determined to leave the Gunner after so many transfer-window-dramas; Nasri, seems to be another player on his way out. Luckily, in the Asia Tour squad we can still see Nasri, van Persie, Wilshere, Walcott. But if Arsenal don’t manage to sign some players, will them be able to fight against Manchester United, Chelsea, and probably a stronger Liverpool? Maybe Wenger should start making some moves in the transfer market.


Meanwhile, Manchester United squad looks pretty exciting. Ashley Young is already with the team, De Gea and Phil Jones will join the team shortly as they were given longer leave time because of national duties. De Gea had done some amazing saves during the Euro U21, Young and Jones are both looking good, so I am sure all United fans are looking forward to see how they will do in the pre-season matches. However, according to BBC Sports, Fletcher will not follow the team as he needs to recover the weight that he has lost due to a virus that he caught earlier.

And here, look who is already excited about joining Liverpool?
Adams changed his Twitter display picture the next day after he has officially joined the club. No doubt a good addition to the Liverpool squad, with Suarez and Carroll settling in, this is definitely another team to watch out for!
