On September 5th, Alan Shearer, England's legendary striker, updated his column and analyzed the Premier League title race.

Manchester City will face enormous pressure this season.

Looking at the honors Erling Haaland has won — including the World Cup — it's hard to say that such a high transfer fee was unwarranted for Manchester City. This seems to be the trend now, doesn't it? He had to start with his move to Chelsea, then Casemiro, then Declan Rice, then Alejandro Garnacho, and now this summer Erling Haaland again. Transfer fees for midfielders are truly staggering.

I understand why strikers are expensive — when you invest a lot, you're looking for goals and other things. But midfielders? There's no question that Erling Haaland is talented, but if you don't have something special, new owners won't repeatedly pay such enormous sums. Yet the transfer fees for midfielders amaze me — it's almost unbelievable.

Manchester City has spent huge amounts during the summer transfer window to win the title, so they should be title contenders now. If they don't win the title, the manager will face enormous pressure. It's not right to spend this much money just to finish second or third.

I don't know how Manchester City has so much money despite being under investigation. I understand why many people are asking questions, but hasn't this gone on long enough? I saw an interview recently with Richard Masters, the Premier League CEO, where he explained how people view the issue, but he also mentioned that it's an independent committee's decision, so I'm still not entirely sure.

Manchester United cannot challenge for the Premier League title.

I don't think Manchester United can challenge for the title, but I believe they have a chance to compete for the top four. I don't think they're strong enough to challenge for the title — their transfer investment is insufficient and the players they've signed are not at the level needed to win the title. So if Manchester United are genuinely competing for the title, I would be very surprised.

Liverpool and Manchester United lag behind Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Initially, I thought Liverpool had enough money to sign Jürgen Klopp and buy one or two defensive players. They invested heavily in Fabinho and Caoimhin Kelleher last season, but both of their defensive performances were poor. I don't think Liverpool has ever resolved this issue, so they're not ready to compete for the title.

I don't think Liverpool have the strength to win the Premier League title. I believe they are behind Manchester City and also behind Arsenal. Chelsea may have some defensive issues, but I believe only these three teams really have the strength to genuinely compete for the title. I don't see Liverpool or Manchester United being able to compete with them.

Assessing Everton's late transfer window activity.

During the final days of the transfer window, Everton seemed confused and anxious, and it was a disappointing transfer period for the club. They signed Iliman Ndiaye and then quickly signed Armando Broja, but he was withdrawn at the last minute. Frankly, this didn't create a good impression.

What they need now is good fortune, because if one or two of their strikers get injured, they could face a difficult situation. So they need to do everything they can to stay up until January.

I don't think Everton will be relegated. I think with Sean Dyche's experience they will survive. I initially thought Everton could secure a Conference League spot or finish around eighth, but after the transfer window closed, I need to reconsider that.

They will need very good luck to survive until January, and I think Sean Dyche is very frustrated with what happened during the summer transfer window and the failed agreements.
