Worst case scenario for us regards other clubs signings from

[jollylescott]

Chelsea will win the league this season for me. Great side that needed cohesion, Mourinho will bring that, top players back on side, fans back on side. Its theres to lose in my opinion

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think we still have the edge over them. Last season we followed up on the most amazing season ever in the Premier League. I think half our players were in a daze for parts of last season. Even allowing for the massive hangover after the title win, we were still able to get the better of Chelski.

This season there is a fire burning in the players. The hunger is back and we have added players who are equally desperate to prove their worth and to win titles. Navas by himself is going to give nightmares to the opposition defences.

I honestly believe that we have the desire and firepower to take the title back. Time of course will tell, but I am quite confident that we can finish ahead of Chelski (and of course the rags).

Personally hope Spurs keep Bale, he will not have a season like last In terms of goals scored and always likely to miss games with an I jury.

Spurs would be a lot better with 80mill to spend

Thing is they would only spend about £40m of that knowing Levy

Not at all. We are much stronger, man for man.<br /><br />-- Tue Jul 30, 2013 10:36 am --<br /><br />

I fear that if Bale doesn't move soon to Real Madrid, they'll be knocking on our door for Aguero. We may be forced to sell and then we face a panic to replace him. Hope not.

After he just signed a new contract. Not a chance in hell.

O.k Castiel :)

Aye. Think the blue in his moniker could be a bit darker than ours.

Heres my view on it. Based on 1st teams only, here are the best players in each position over the 4 teams (City, Rags, Arse and Ski). Based on 4-4-2 with best players highlighted:

City......................Rags...................Chelski....................Arse
Hart......................De Gea...............Cech.......................Szczesny
Zaba.....................Rafael.................Ivanovic.................Sagna
Nastasic.................Ferdinand...........Cahill......................Mertesacker
Kompany................Vidic..................Luiz........................Vermaelen
Clichy....................Evra..................Cole........................Koscielny
Navas....................Valencia.............Oscar.....................Walcott
Toure....................Carrick...............Ramires...................Wilshere
Fernandinho............Kagawa.............Lampard...................Arteta
Silva......................Young/Zaha.......Hazard....................Cazorla
Negredo..................Rooney.............Mata......................Podolski
Aguero...................van Persie.........Torres/Ba.................Giroud

If you then look at the depth in our squad with players like Richards, Milner, Rodwell, Jovetic, Nasri, Dzeko and the likes, I personally think our squad is better.

(For all those who looooove to disagree....this is just my opinion)

I think our squad and Chelsea's are very similar. It comes down to who they bring in before the end of the window.

LAMPARD!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Aguia]

I fancy Chelsea now, but if they get Rooney they'll walk it.

We have beat Chelsea 4 times already this calender year ...... just because they now have big mouth makes the players they have better ..... ?

But 2 of them were friendlys that don't count and many of their top players didn't paly(more than ours). They also didn't have Mourinho either and he will certainly improve them. They are our biggest competition.

LAMPARD!!!!!!!!!!

Knew it was only a matter of time....His stats speak volumes. I have purposefully not selected any players that are unknowns in the PL but I can see Fernandinho being a better player for us this season than any of the counterparts for other teams around us (kagawa, lampard, Arteta etc.)

Don't get why everyone raves about Oscar, he is a nice player but certainly doesn't make me nervous when he has the ball against us!
