CB Society Don't Just Dream, Live it !!

With less than 2 weeks left for the premier league to start,lets take a look at the new players....

After seeing his side score a mere 52 goals as a result of Luis Suarez’ departure to Barcelona, Brendan Rodgers has hit the summer sales hard. The Liverpool manager has splashed out £29m on Hoffenheim’s Roberto Firmino  and acquired both James Milner  and Danny Ings as he prepares for life without Steven Gerrard. In defence, Rodgers has also bagged Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton – available for , the right-back made more tackles than any defender in the top-flight last term.

Manchester United have drafted in the highly-rated Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven. The youngster arrives with a reputation as a set-piece specialist, having scored more free-kicks than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues in 2014/15.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have plundered London neighbours Chelsea for a new number one. Petr Cech conceded just two goals in seven league outings last time around as Arsene Wenger’s side look to push on from the previous campaign’s third place finish.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has been quick to strengthen his defence over the summer. With Clyne and Toby Alderweireld set for pastures new and first-choice keeper Fraser Forster sidelined for a number of months, the Dutchman has acquired Maarten Stekelenburg  between the posts, whilst new right-back Cedric Soares is similarly priced. The Saints boast last season’s second most resilient defence, with just 33 goals against, and face only three of last season’s top seven sides in the opening 13 Gameweeks.

Swansea manager Garry Monk has raided Ligue 1 on a couple of occasions. Left winger Andre Ayew  produced ten goals and three assists for Marseille in 2014/15, whilst new left-back Franck Tabanou looks a strong rival for Neil Taylor, having served up a goal and five assists for St Etienne in the previous campaign.

West Ham United have appointed Slaven Bilic as the new man in charge after Sam Allardyce departed at the end of last season. The Hammers - who have already kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 first leg win over Lusitans in the Europa League first qualifying round – will be hoping new signing Dimitri Payet makes an instant impact., the playmaker notched 15 goals and 23 assists in his final two years at Marseille.
