Liverpool have a very exciting year set out before them with new players, new attitudes, and a high chance of succeeding in Europe. Roberto Firmino is one of many new additions to the Liverpool squad that has excited fans to watch the link-ups between him and his Brazilian compatriot Philippe Coutinho.
West Ham have put in a bid for Manchester United striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, according to The Daily Star. The Star reported that the club have already had an 8.5 million pound bid rejected, and the new bid will be somewhere in the range of 12 million pounds.

Rightly or wrongly, the English are stereotyped for their politeness. In the case of Doncaster Rovers vs. Bury, however, that stereotype came to life magically.
In soccer, when a player gets injured it's considered good manners to kick the ball out of bounds so the player can get looked at by the training staff. The other team then throws the ball in and kicks it to the goalie of the team that kicked the ball out of bounds originally, and play resumes again.
For the past seven seasons, Stoke City have showed why they deserved to be part of the Premier League.
A new season, a new goalkeeper and high expectations were buzzing around the Emirates on Sunday, but the Gunners start to the 2015 Premier League season was ever so Arsenal.
Philippe Coutinho seems to defy the laws of physics whenever he scores. That might not make sense if he was another player, but he’s not; he’s Philippe Coutinho: the man who cannot score an average goal.
Honestly, last year he made a habit of scoring from the other side of nowhere, and this year he’s just doing more of the glorious same.
First, it must be said that it's hard to give Petr Cech too hard a time about the thumping he took in Arsenal's season opener against West Brom. Despite the fact that the newly-minted Gunner gave up two pedestrian goals against West Brom, the former Chelsea striker does have more clean sheets in Premier League openers than any other keeper.
Mexican international Miguel Layun made his Premier League debut Saturday at Everton, and has a goal to show for it. Layun pounced on a ball bouncing around in the box in the 14th minute. He plays as a left back for Mexico but generally features as a midfielder for Watford.
Layun was substituted after 59 minutes. He is the fifth Mexican player to score in the Premier league, following Chicharito, Jared Borgetti, Guillermo Franco and Carlos Vela.
The game finished a 2-2 draw, a good result for newly-promoted Watford.
It seems like just yesterday that Chelsea paraded their 5th Premier League title down Kings Road, and yet the start of the 2015-16 Barclays Premier League is already upon us.
