.... But they have steadily being closing the gap over the past few years and got 86 points last year. If they get Glen Johnson, keep Alonso and get a Left Back (all of which are quite likely) I think they will win it next season

Still think Utd need to strengthen, they showed signs of vunderability towards the back end of last season, they've lost Tevez and Ronaldo and have some very average players, i.e....
Park (underrated I spose, but not Man Utd quality
Fletcher (as Park)
Anderson (I think he is awful)
Nani (Good prospect, but offers no end product at moment)
O'Shea (Decent utilty player)
Hard to say at the moment Big H, with not knowing exactly who will end up where, Liverpool have a great chance as they have a settled squad if they dont loose anyone that is, Chelsea again a new manager with no premiership experience United just lost couple of there best players.
Il put mine up couple of days before the first game ;D
Just been told from my ever reliable 'source' that Eto'o's transfer to City is about 80% complete. It's looking very likely after looking very shaky this time last week.
Bookies also seem to know something given that he gone from 5/1 to being 1/5 practically overnight.

Hahaha, where does that leave Craig " IVE HAD 4512 CLUBS IN 5 YEARS " Bellemy, he makes some shit career moves him, no doubt he will move to an average club like a Fulham or Sunderland.

The likes of Bojinov, Bellamy etc will be second fiddle or rotation players.
As much as NOTW are saying it's done for Eto'o, it's not quite done yet. He hasn't signed but he is satisfied with the contract offer. Still has a few issues to sort out with Barca as he is tied into club sponsorships etc... so that still needs to be sorted.
It feels strange because the guy who told me about all this mentioned a few weeks ago (not sure if i posted it on here)that we had made a move for Eto'o but he was a difficult character to deal with and he wasn't so keen. Fast forward a few weeks and he's very close to signing.
Good times. Can see us challenging for that 4th spot once a few defenders are brought in. If not, fuck it, we'll win every game 8-4 ;D
EDIT: Eto'o is now 100% done and dusted. As is Joleon Lescott. Sorry leftyLee. These will be all announced along with Tevez, this week. Probably on Wednesday 1st July.
Everton at 5?!?!?! Man Shitty will get up near the top of the league....I doubt Arsenal and Chelsea will do all that great and Man United definently won't be as good.
LIVERPOOL #1!!!
Consitently the best team outside the 4 in recent years and finished 5th this season with the 2 best players (Arteta & Yauba) out for most of the seasonQuote:

well maybe. being in Europe might not be the best thing for Fulham.
Eto'o deal has hit a snag.
He's verbally agreed terms and Barca have accepeted the fee, the only problem is, Barca would have to pay him a £10m loyalty bonus for being sold without actually asking for a transfer. So at the minute this looks like being the deal-breaker.
This is why a few days ago Laporta went on Spanish radio talking about the stratospheric offer because he wants people to think Eto'o is wanting to leave because the money on offer is too good to turn down. This way Barca can avoid paying the loyalty bonus on the basis that Eto'o wants to leave. However Eto'o's agent has dug his heels in and basically told Barca that Eto'o is willing to sit out the last 12 months of his contract. His agent has arranged a press conference tomorrow where he will most likely explain Eto'o's intentions to stay unless Barca or maybe even City can chip in with the loyalty bonus.
Problem for Barca is they have a limited transfer budget and because Barca want to sell him, Eto'o is likely to be unsettled so they will have an unhappy player on their hands for 12 months and in any case he will leave on a free. They require the full transfer fee to pursue David Villa so they obviously don't want to have to give half of it to Eto'o to cover a disputable loyalty bonus.
So the situation at the minute is a chess game between Barca and Eto'o with City watching every move. It may even come to the point where we just offer Eto'o a signing on bonus equivalent to his loyalty bonus - that way he doesn't lose out and everyone is happy, or, we could decide he is taking the piss a bit and completely walk away knowing we've added two quality forward players to a team that was already one of the highest scoring teams in the league.
Interesting few days ahead!
I predict man city and man utd will buy everyone
I predict West Ham will buy nobody and sell everybody (same every year for us)
I predict eto`o will be top goalscorer
I predict 3 of wolves, hull, burnley and birmingham will be relegated
I predict Chelsea will win the title a good 4-6pts ahead of man city
I predict Michael Essien will win the PFA player of the year award
I predict that if you think City will finish above Liverpool and United you need a check up from the neck up ;DQuote:

If that side isnt challenging for the premiership in 2010 mark hughes shouldnt be in a job!!
I wonder if Man City will start attracting glory hound fans, if so and if I was an older fan I would take every opportunity to let them know how useless they are
Even better...Quote:

GK Given
RB
LB Bridge
CB Kompany
CB Lescott?
MC Barry
MC Ireland
AML Robinho
AMR Wright-Philips
FC Eto'o
FC Tevez
I cant see you challanging for the title next year, you need time to gel and also create a winning mentality which you havent got just yet, i defintly think you could be 4th and imo your probably favourites to get 4th with your sqaud.
Liverpool will do it this year. Our best team in ages last year and hopefully we can do a little bit more this time out. I am the king of predictions as you all know.
i had liverpool to win it last season and the mancs pipped them. I dont think you can look past chelsea this season just because of the endless talent they have at their exposal and ancellotti will get the best out of them.Quote:

Eto'o deal is in doubt because Barca are refusing to pay him his loyalty bonus of £13m so Eto'o is threatening to stay for a year and leave on a free next summer. Could still happen but looking bad at the minute.Quote:

Elano is likely to leave, plus Ireland is much better all around player. New centre back will be Lescott. We made an enquiry about Maicon for Rb but didn't follow it up. Zabaleta or Richards are both capable anyway.
Finally we are going to make a move for John Terry quite soon. Doubt we'll get him.

chelsea mate of mine says this is common knowledge that citeh will offer around 60m in july for JT. Wont happen in a million years though for the reason that chelsea are the only club who can compete financially with city.
PS:Any chance of having a word with that sheikh and giving us onuoha and sturridge on loan for the season ;D;D;D
Well i can't see Terry wanting to leave Chelsea tbh. Just got told we're going to move for him.Quote:

Sturridge has all but gone mate. To Chelsea. As for Ned....no chance!lol. He's been very solid for us. Him or Kompany will probably partner Lescott next season.
Any transfer news on your front?

Bid for Terry rejected thankfully. I'm not a fan.
Not sure what to make of it because our owners surely know that £25m would never be enough to tempt them into selling. Wonder if they are planning something on the quiet.
Eto'o looks like reaching a satisfactory conclusion though. Barca are keen to bring Villa in and that's pushing Eto'o into our arms. He's agreed terms with us, just a discrepency between him and Barca over a loyalty bonus.
Tevez will be announced next week i believe.
Owen joining us, having his medical today. Please god he fails it!! Shocking purchase when the rivals who are going for the player are Hull and Stoke you sort of know he is way past his best.
Owen for me hasnt got the hunger anymore, prime example of how footballers fizzle out alot earlier than most when they are playing top level football week in week out at 17/18 similar to fat Ronaldo, its on a pay as you play deal i understand, but I personally think it would be a shite purchase, hes lost his hunger and desire. The only posotive is its World Cup year and that make a bit of a difference. Looks like were going backwards this year quite dissapointed, if I was Fergie id try a cheeky bid for Van Persie hes on his last year of his contract next season.
