Start of Season 2021/22

Dean Hoo is still the vice-captain of Arsenal and there are some questions whether the club will be able to continue to win. The squad is getting old, with 10 out of the 19 first team members being 30 and over. No real transfers in this year either and Cristiano Ronaldo left on a free transfer to join Everton.

Marc Vaughan is looking forward to another season with Juventus and is hoping for a trophy this time around. The club's major signings were 31 year old French defender Mamadou Sakho, 25 year old Brazilian rightback Moura and 23 year old Spanish leftback Rafael Ramirez.

Rob Nielsen may have been the hero for the USA but he's going to miss the start of the season because he strained his knee ligaments in the finals of the Gold Cup. No big transfer news for Valencia this year either.

Daniel Ertmann will look to defend his goalscoring record this season and push Chelsea to a better performance. The club retooled subsatntially,s pending 41 million on transfers, including the 13.5 million pound signing of Swiss striker Nassim Ben Khalifa and the 10 million pound signing of Portugese centreback Fernando Martins.

Jace Hunter signed with Serie A side Reggina and then promptly suffered a hip injury that is threatening to keep him out for an extended period. Looks to be another tough year for the Canadian keeper, who was absolutely outstanding in the Gold Cup.

Will Leverkusen's star defender Julio O'Donnell learn to keep his temper in check? The star defender is looking to another successful season with his club and their campaign will be bolstered by the 12.75 million pound signing of Japanese centreback Ippei Yamamoto and 7.25 million pound German leftwinger Nils Maier.

Bernard Blaze was recognised as the best right-winger in Italy last year and he will hope to recapture similar form this year. Early indications are that he will succeed at that as he has already scored 1 goal and created 4 more in the first 4 games of the season.

Frank Justice will have the weight of driving Man Utd to a title challenge this year, especially since the club only made one notable signing, the free transfer of 31 year old Brazilian defender Breno. It might still be enough since Arsenal didn't re-load either.

Path Twelve made a surprising big move to French powerhouses PSG as they try to break Lyon's stranglehold on the league title. The 5 million pound signing took people by surprise and it will be interesting to see how Path does this year on the big stage. The other big signing was 25 year old Spanish defender Jose Antonio.

Ubaldo Geronimo is in his 2nd season with Sevilla and will be looking for more playing time though he is still relatively content right now. He may find it hard though as Mexican compatriot Agustin Mezza signed for Sevilla for 5.75 million and he is also a striker. The other big signing was the 7.5 million pound acquisition of 20 year old Italian left back Luciano Lorenzi as Sevilla aim to regain their top 3 position.

Another year with Villa for Will Brown, who was a solid contributor for the US team that won the Gold Cup. The club didn't do that much in the market though and may find it hard to improve this year especially since they have lost 2 key defenders in the offseason.
