garcon magnifique Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 There's a lot of teams who need to bed in a lot of new players very quickly. I see the title as still being United favourites, City close behind, possibly Chelsea in the fight. Liverpool could fight Chelsea for third. Behind that there are up to half a dozen teams who could take any of the next half dozen places. I can see 'Arry doing business in January and rescuing a shaky early campaign. Arsenal could finish anywhere from 4th to about 12th depending how their signings gel. Stoke are on par for a Europa place, Everton won't be that far behind despite all their troubles (as long as they keep hold of Barclay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 There's no shame in admitting your team's days as Manchester's best are numbered. No-one will laugh, it's just the cycle of life. Your 'noisy neighbours' are at last starting to gel and you can knock as many goals as you like past Arsenal, but one match does not a title make :DAs far as Liverpool go, I do think they have turned a corner hence my opening post, I think they'll be in the running for the title come the last day of the season. You're right, one match does not 20 titles make. However, the other 19 we've already got aren't the result of one match wins....and as I see it we're a much stronger outfit now than we were last year. I agree City look likely to challenge strongly, but for Liverpool to win the title it'll need a miracle that involves United, City and Chelsea all dropping out of the league and fecking off to the USA for 10 years.

Waylander Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Also Waylander - We have got rid of Ngog! We got rid of every peice of deadwood including terminating Degen's contract when no-one wanted him. Only exception was Brad Jones - on compassion grounds I think as his son is still in hospital. £30M is a huge chunk of change to save! Personally I think we could have done with a flair midfielder as I don't see us having one now. SG back will almost be like a new signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 SG is passed his SBD (sell by date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I read on the BBC this morning, that Arteta took a pay-cut to join Arsenal........ He was on £75K (a week) at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yeah- he dropped £10k a week, I'd imagine that when we win the CL the bonuses will more than cover his apparent loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The player I feel sorry for is Scott Dann. Both us and Arsenal asked after him but were told to stump up £10-15M And then he gets flogged to Blackburn for £6M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 At least he's in the Prem (for now). I understand what you mean, but I find it difficult to actually feel sorry foir someone earning several grand a week to play sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I see Sneijder has confirmed he came very close to moving. Feck. He has thanked Man United fans on his Twitter feed for 'your support' and then said it just couldn't quite be done and, and I think this is telling, he's "very comfortable in Italy and loves the culture and lifestyle". So, you're saying Manchester is a shitty place for the weather and chavs then eh Wesley? Fair point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 So, you're saying Manchester is a shitty place for the weather and chavs then eh Wesley? Fair point. I wonder how many of the new City boys will be thinking the same come January? They have Tevez whinging and they also have Ballbag whinging about the lack of sun and restaurants.

cruiser647 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 A private jet for Sneijder? Premier League - Paper round: Sneijder 'wanted private jet' - Yahoo! Eurosport He thinks he'll be in the United shirt come January. But then again, if Utd carry on playing like they are, then they won't need him! Maybe he's missed his chance for another whole season?

NewNiceMrMe Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 If it's true, which I'm not sure about, he'll never play in a United shirt. However, if all he's after is a private jet and the purchase of his house in Italy, then I won't be surprised to see the City offer to buy him Alitalia so he can have his pick of the planes and they might as well buy him Sardinia whilst they're at it.
