Get ready for the new Premier League football season with our webmag
Tim Sherwood has already begun to reinvest, with Ligue 1 imports Jordan Ayew, Idrissa Gueye, Jordan Amavi and Jordan Veretout among those to have been brought in.
Eddie Howe believes new signing Lee Tomlin will prove to be a real asset to Bournemouth in the upcoming Premier League season.
Everton finished eleventh in the league last season with 47 points. He remains a manager of limited experience.
“It’s been a tough summer but an enjoyable one – my wife will tell you that I have had no time off”, Howe said. They have been given their chance. All I want to do is do my job and go home. “Hopefully we can move his game onto the next level”.
“It’s never easy to let go of players that have served you so well”.
“My aim is to try and be Bournemouth manager this time next year. The lads have had a tough pre-season and we’ve worked them very hard but I think we’re going to be ready for this”.
Again at 3/1, that team is Leicester City, who look overpriced to get relegated with Claudio Ranieri at the helm.
And it takes an in-depth look at the 20 clubs in the division and how they will fare this term, including newcomers Bournemouth – who are embarking on their first campaign in the top flight, Norwich City and Watford.
Yet the man at the helm of that incredible set of results, Nigel Pearson, has since been dismissed, with his replacement Ranieri about as uninspiring an appointment as you could get. He’s at a very good age with a good pedigree. He transformed the Black Cats’ fortunes last season and he knows plenty about new £8million forward Jeremain Lens, while the signings of Sebastian Coates and Younes Kaboul at the back look solid enough.
“I’ve got a very balanced view when it comes to management”.
