Newcastle has tons of new players but only a few have been disclosed. The total disclosed amount spent currently is €39.1 million. The currently disclosed list is: Joselu from Stoke City for €5.5 million, Javi Manquillo from Atletico Madrid for €4.8 million, Jacob Murphy from Norwich for €11.3 million, F. Lejeune for €10 million from Eibar, C. Atsu from Chelsea for €7.5 million.
The team lost their first match, against Tottenham however, a very tough opponent. The next game will be against Huddersfield, the newcomer in EPL, and yet Newcastle are priced high to win this match @ 3.20, as opposed to the host who is priced to win @ 2.50
In terms of relegation odds Newcastle has 3.75 to be relegated this season, which is quite low, thought their 18th place does not help either.
West Ham finished 11th last season, but the team has had troubles here and there. For the new season 2017/18 the Hammers have spent so far € 64.3 millions. A return to the Premier League would make Javier Hernandez for € 17.8 million from Bayer Leverkusen. Other players that the team has acquired and disclosed are: S. Haksabanovic from Halmstad for € 3 million, M. Arnautović from Stoke City for € 22.3 million, R. Snodgrass from Hull City, José Fonte from Southampton for € 9.2 million and Paul Zabaletta from City for free.
The Hammers faced Manchester United in their first match and took a heavy loss of 0:4. Logically that sent them to the last 20th place in the table with odds to get relegated of 2.75 with bet365. Surely it's too early to determine if this prediction is correct as one game against one of the top teams does not mean much.
Burnley started the season by creating the biggest upset. The team managed to beat Chelsea on Stamford Bridge, winning for those who took the risk to bet on odds @ 13.00 for the away victory. The team has spent so far €33.1 million which shows that since they've stuck around in the Premier League, their budget has increased immensely.
The list with transfers goes like this: P. Bardsley from Stoke City for € 840K thousand, J. Cork from Swansea for € 9.1 million, J. Walters from Stoke City for € 2.3 million, R. Brady from Norwich for € 15.1 million and A. Westwood for € 5.8 million. The rest of the sums are undisclosed. Next game is against W.B.A where Burnley are priced as the favorite for the match with odds to win it @ 2.55.
This concludes our Part 3 of the English Premier 2017 Review.
