Chelsea and Liverpool. United might be if they cave to Jose's demands to the board

Who Will Pose A Threat Next Season

Shouldn't be too surprising that clubs respond to City's season by wanting to strengthen. United are the odd one, I genuinely expected a clear out and replacements on a high scale. Mourinho does have a bit of a point there - not because of lack of money, but because their squad is all over the shop, the result of the various supermarket sweeps they've done over the last five years or so.
But Liverpool do look decent, or at least their first eleven does.

I don’t think he is right, but if he is then you will be, what with there being no World Cup to focus on from the press.Whisper it.
Unfortunately I think you'll be right and it certainly won't be as quiet a summer about the Champions as this has been.

It could be that Liverpool will put in a challenge.
But once again, it is based on a mythical situation, where their new signings all improve them significantly & their players from last season, all perform to the same or better standards, & they make an enormous improvement whilst we slip back, rather than any kind of concrete reasoning.
We have seen absolutely nothing yet, to give even the slightest indication this will happen, but plenty have bought it, just the same.

They’ve done what we did - buy for positions that were causing them problems. That made us favourites for the title. No different for them now, minus them being favourites. I expect them to push us all the way to may.It could be that Liverpool will put in a challenge.

No they haven't done what we did, at all.
We were favourites because we had Pep Guardiola in a 2nd season, AND signed a bunch of players. They have had the same bloke who has been failling dismally to win any trophies, added a potentially decent midfielder, a Stoke reject & Fabinho, who so far looks like Fernando's shite brother.
They 'could' push us all the way, just as could Spurs, Utd & particularly Chelsea, who have a squad full of champions a new manager, who played great football in Italy plus & a better midfield signing than Liverpool have made.
But once again, all the bullshit is about one club.

You’ve missed out the all important signing they made just like we did - goalkeeper.No they haven't done what we did, at all.

To be fair, of all the top six, they're the only ones who have made a stackful of big signings, so even without the "everyone loves Liverpool" media coverage, they'd probably be the most interesting potential challenger to talk about. All the others - and City themselves for that matter - there's not so much to say.
Without remotely expecting them to challenge at the top, I'm surprised West Ham haven't been talked about a bit more in the press though.

I see Chelsea as our biggest threat in the league, followed by the dippers.
