Get Cavani and you will be favourites.Castiel said:paulchapo said:Chelsea will be right in amongst it as the whole place will get a lift with the 'Special one' back and they will hit the ground runnning this time.As for the rags...not sure.They have a tough set of opening fixtures.If they stutter the discontent with Moyes will grow,but if they do well they will also take some stopping.Us?I have no idea,i am hoping we kick on and blow teams away like a couple of years ago with a new attacking style but it will be touch and go.Arsenal will also be stronger this year,so interesting indeed.
We hit the ground running every time. We usually start the season very well, then do something to shoot ourselves in the foot (sack a manager, kick a ballboy, or Terry sleeps with somebody's wife) and it collapses around Christmas before we make a comeback at the end when it counts. The three seasons under Roman where we didn't drop the ball over that Christmas period (Mourinho's first stint and under Ancelotti) we won the league.

Very, very wishful thinking. At best it will be a three horse race next season, but there is no guarantee of that. Chelsea could even run away with things.

City and Chelsea already have sufficient class players to fend off anyone below the top 5 from last season. Despite Moyes I think the rags will have enough momentum from last season to at least finish 3rd.
Liverpool, Saints and Villa ( my 3 picks for the best of the rest) haven't got enough to make a serious bid for top 4. Think back to when Newcastle were challenging for top 4 the season we won the title. They were beating the teams below them but we dominated the game at their place. Class will out.
Would you still say that if arsenal get shrek and higuain?
I made a similar comment earlier, but Tottenham and Arsenal are too far from the top 3 and unlikely to catch up in one transfer window. It would cost near 100 million for both teams to win it and I dont see that happening.GHoddle said:supercrystal7 said:GHoddle said:I think (hope) it could be a 5 way race next season.

I think it's difficult to evaluate until after the window closes and transfer business is done. At this point I would have to say Chelsea are favorites imo but we don't know what the teams are going to look like by August.

Paulinho, Bale, Sandro, Dembele, Kaboul, Walker, Caulker and Vertonghen are all great players. If Levy really wants to challenge he should spunk the cash for a big money Striker.
