Are you ready?
The 2015/16 Premier League season has arrived! The fans and players have had their holidays and, a little over 3 months since Chelsea won the 2014/15 title, the top players and teams in the world are back, ready to challenge for the Premier League title again. Let's take a look at some of the new players, new teams and other changes you may notice this season.
New Players
There was a lot of Premier League talent on display in 2014/15, but Premier League clubs have been quick to spot more talent from around the world and there will be many new faces in the Premier League this season. Manchester Utd have been busy in the transfer market and have captured Germany's Word Cup winning captain, Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich, Morgan Schniederlin from Southampton and Matteo Darmian from Torino. One player that won't be at Old Trafford this season is Radamel Falcao. He has swapped the red of Man Utd for the blue of Chelsea, where he will wear the number 9 shirt. Other players who will be playing in the Premier League for the first time include the Brazilian striker, Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), the Dutch striker, Georginio Wijnaldum (Newcastle), the Spanish forward, Juanmi (Southampton), Spanish midfielder, Pedro Obiang (West Ham) and the Ghanaian, Andre Ayew (Swansea City). All of these players will want to make a good impression on their new fans in the Premier League.
Is everyone new to the Premier League?
Not all the transfers were players arriving in the Premier League for the first time. One of the biggest stories of the summer was at Arsenal, when Arsene Wenger signed Chelsea legend, Petr Cech. Cech made 486 appearances for Chelsea 10 years a the club and won 14 major trophies at the club, including 4 Premier League titles. Another major transfer was Raheem Sterling, who moved from Liverpool to Manchester City. Sterling's transfer was the most expensive (£49M) transfer involving an English player in history. Toby Alderweireld has joined Tottenham from Atletico Madrid, after spending last season on loan at Southampton and Micah Richards has joined Aston Villa after spending last season with Fiorentina in Italy. Other major transfers include the French midfielder, Yohan Cabaye, who has returned to the Premier League with Crystal Palace and Gerald Deulofeu who has returned to Everton on a permanent transfer from Barcelona.
New Clubs
There will be three new teams in the Premier League this season, although it won't be the first time in the Premier League for two of the clubs. Norwich City return after just 1 season in the Championship and will work to improve on 18th place in 2013/14, when they only scored 28 goals all season. Watford will be playing in the Premier League for the first time since 2006/07 and hope that they will perform better than their previous two seasons in the Premier League. They finished bottom of the table on both occasions. Bournemouth will be playing in the Premier League for the first time in their 125-year history. 'The Cherries' won the Championship last season and will hope their young manager, Eddie Howe, can keep them in the Premier League for more than one season.
What else will be new in the Premier League this season?
There will be a new ball in the Premier League this season. The Nike Ordem 3 ball is claimed to be the most advanced ball that's ever been created. You will notice the ball this season, a large part of the ball is red rather than the traditional white. There will also be a lot of new shirts worn by Premier League clubs. Arsenal will play in gold away from home, Manchester Utd are changing their Nike shirts for Adidas ones and ex-Liverpool striker, Robbie Fowler, jumped out of a plane to promote Liverpool's new away shirt! There will also be new managers in the Premier League. Some of the new managers include; Slaven Bilic, the ex-Croatia manager returns to one of his old clubs. Steve Mclaren, the ex-England manager, is the new manager of Newcastle and Claudi Ranieri, the ex-Chelsea manager is the new manager at Leicester City.

Klopp needs time to make a winning team. He clearly said when he became manager that he needs to pick up some players he trained before so it will be quite interesting to see which players will wear red shirt in the second part of the season.

I would say that Andre Ayew is better player Rich. Even Jordan is trying to show his full potential but it is really hard in A.Villa. The whole team is showing poor performances.
