    I think West Ham are around 350/1.

    Still we've got a nice easy start - Man City!

    I guess so.

    We lost our first four games last season but still finished in the top half.

    I fancy Leicester for a top 6 or maybe 4 at a push if Tielemans is confirmed as seems likely. Perez also should be handy if he maintains his end of season form. Top definitely seems to be taking a punt for it this time.

    Next season LFC v MC the rest of us picking up the crumbs.
    For my part as a CFC supporter i really hope Frank gets the job with some old tried and trusted faces in the wings maybe the start of a new era with some of the kids getting their chance and if we get a solid foundation in place and we are out of top four so be it, interesting times.

    Im a bit concerned for my beloved LFC.......we could do with a few players. Certainly cover at left and right back and at minimum 1 attacker.

    “Manchester United are the only club interested in signing Leicester and England defender Harry Maguire, but the Foxes want £85m for the 26-year-old.”

    What does every other club know that United doesn’t ? Another to add to the Jones, Smalling, Bailly, Rojo, Darmian collection of pricey, very average defenders? I’ll give Lindelof benefit of the doubt.

    Pep was touted as being after JFE last season and the price then was £30 m + . Seems like a bargain now .
    I think there will be a big statement made this season by a number of clubs.
    Leicester will be there or thereabouts and I still think Wolves are only one or two players away from ruffling the top fours feathers . Everton are also threatening to spend and join in the fun.
    Looking forward to Lampard being given time at Chelsea. He’s promised to use the youth and they could come out blazing and fearless . Luckily enough they’ve got relegation fodder in their first game .

    World record £80m for a defender, he might not be the best in Leicester or the world yet, but he will be best in the world won’t he?

    My problem with this transfer is that Leicester won’t be able to spend the money for a while as the deal is being investigated for daylight robbery. 🦊

    We now we have:

    Maguire
    Rojo
    Bailly
    Smalling
    Jones
    Lindelof
    Tuanzebe

    So if one very average back is injured we have a good choice of very average CBs to pick from and seamlessly slot in a replacement.

    There’s not a Foulkes, Sadler, Buchan, Holton, Bruce, Pallister, Stam, Ferdinand, Vidic amongst them.

    JFE is great…. Just the kind of player Man Utd could do with

    There’ll be some teams threatening the top 6 dominance…. I believe we have the momentum and the squad to give it a real go next year….

    Oooh…. 600/1 - time to lump on Richard!!!

    I can’t believe that we’ve landed this guy…. It was evident in half a season that he’s high quality and tailor made for the prem…. How a big club didn’t swoop him and nab him is beyond belief

    You can keep Pogba #becausehesanob

    United’s overall squad looks poor and the rate of change seems slow. I’m pessimistic, it has the feeling of the McGuinness/O’Farrell times.

    I maintain that the job is too big for Ole . Goodwill only goes a limited way and if they get off to a poor start, he could come under huge pressure. Might be a good price for the first manager sacked .
    United need a major overhaul . They’ve now got two good fullbacks and a half decent midfield . If they sell the two goons Pogba and Lukaku, they should have enough cash to buy well . Wether Woodward and Solskjaer can do this remains to be seen .

    As a premier league neutral I just hope the 3 promoted teams make a good fist of staying up and we don’t have a poor relegation battle with teams cut off like last season.

    As for the title I can see Liverpool nicking it this year unfortunately I can’t see any clubs closing the gap on Liverpool or City.

    For some reason I think arsenal will be much better this season....... Not saying title contenders but possibly 3rd..... Pushing 2nd.

    As a very p'd off Wednesday fan, I hope Bruce screws everything up he possibly can. Absolute disgrace what he's done (he instigated this).

    I can't believe Newcastle have paid £4m just for him with additional to be sorted for his backroom.

    I've always been a fan of Bruce from afar and was ecstatic we got him. A top top class championship manager. He's turned us round in a short period. But I've lost any respect for the man and to say that Wednesday gave him the time off earlier in the year before he joined and he repays us like this, well, won't even waste any more energy on the man.

    The wort bit is him being at the pre-season game Saturday and telling people he was still here and was off to Germany this week with us. And then do this.

    Basically now hated by fans of his old club and his soon to be new club. Not a good start.

    What he did was disgraceful. After Sheffield Weds gave him the chance to get his career back on track he pulls this trick.
    Him and Ashley deserve each other.
    The only bright spot is the dusting off of the Elephant Man song we can regale him with .

    Just come back to the news that Fabian Delph has joined Everton. He will improve their squad , bolstering the midfield for them . A good move for all parties.

    Hammers certainly need some firepower upfront.
    Club needs consistency....... I think a top half finish will be positive.

    Definitely need another two strikers. One marquee signing and another for cover.
    We'll have Yarmolenko and Reid back in the squad, Manu will have a proper pre-season behind him and maybe Wilshere might even be fit. We've only really lost Marko who frankly contributed little in the second half of last season.

    Got be looking at 7th next season...

    He’s a Geordie though…. (Newcastle fan?)

    Ever likely to happen…. Bugger at this point to lose him though

    I have no issue with him taking his ‘dream’ job. It’s the backstabbing underhand way he’s done it that’s the issue. Some of the things he said to fans at the friendly on Saturday to then quit today - proper snake behaviour.

    To go from Rafa to Bruce is unbelievably bizarre.

    Sebastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt due to sign after medical for a reputed £45m.

    Looking forward to seeing Yarmolenko again, it will be like a new signing!

    I start every season with an unrealistic level of excitement and optimism but particularly this year...

    ---------------Fabs--------------

    -Fred---Diop--Balbuena--Masuaku-

    ---------------Rice--------------

    ----------Wilshere---Manu--------

    Yarmolenko----Haller --- Anderson

    That doesn't look like too bad a starting 11 to me and doesn't even include Fornals, Noble or Antonio.
    I'm not completely convinced by our LB options and another option at CDM would be good as Noble's not getting any younger and Sanchez is awful.

    Roll on Man City!

    ----------Wilshere---Manu--------

    Yarmolenko----Haller --- Anderson

    That doesn't look like too bad a starting 11 to me and doesn't even include Fornals, Noble or Antonio.
    I'm not completely convinced by our LB options and another option at CDM would be good as Noble's not getting any younger and Sanchez is awful.

    Roll on Man City!
    Looks good on paper though doesn't it!

    Injuries were our downfall last season, especially Yarmolenko so early on.

    The difference between normal prem teams and the huge spenders is that they can afford two top class teams.
    Cheers,

    Seems a strange pre-season, the usual drama and rumour-mongering is conspicuous by its absence.

    (Then again, I may have missed it all in my summer travels!).

    Speaking of Leicester, I always had Rodgers down as an ideal fit for a club like Newcastle, shame we may never find out...

    Can’t wait for it to start now, even if it’s just to limit the exposure to Klippertys incessant whinging .Does the man ever stop ?
    Charity Shield tomorrow . Not expecting too much, I think City will play a three quarters full strength side .
    I won’t be on crowing if we win and I certainly won’t be too upset if the Net Spend trophy winners from Liverpool do either.

    Roll on Villa Saturday and the close of the transfer window later this week.

    All this ITK bullshit does my head in.

    Surprisingly happy with Arsenals transfer window, some decent signings we should have a pretty strong midfield and attack now. The lack of a decent CB will still hurt us and Luiz aint really an answer to our problems. The thing I find with Luiz is he is a terrible defender but would be a world class holding midfielder.
