ClydeTon Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Think Luton could shock a few, there will be a "no pressure, lads" mentality for them throughout the season and they'll probably be there to have a laugh. Still tipping them to go down. Everton look like FFP will sink them unless the Saudis buy someone for comical amounts of money. They have a decent squad, but quite desperately need a decent Striker to sub for the injury-prone DCL, and a centre-back. Unfortunately I see Everton going down. Not a clue who else goes down, I think Sheffield Utd and Burnley will be there but they could say up with the right selection of signings. On the flipside, I think Man City will probably have fierce competition from Arsenal, again, with Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd and Newcastle all battling for those other places. I think Brighton, Villa and Chelsea will be the ones floating around 7th-9th. West Ham to go out of the UEL at the Group Stage, at the cost of literally every hope of a decent finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeTon Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I say we scrap ex-player pundits and instead bring fans in. The ex-players are (as proven) generally quite arrogant about their role as a pundit. Some are decent (Shearer, Richards, etc) but others talk a load of pish and get a wee bit ragin if you even dislike them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 14 hours ago, Bairnardo said: The midfield badly needed gutted out tbh. Whole team suffering because of it. If Liverpool sign well in that area they will be a force again. And they have so far tbh with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai Fully expect a more defensive midfield option (Lavia currently looking most likely) to follow. Would think another centre back coming in too with either Gomez or Matip moving on but wouldn’t know with Jurgen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with her that City’s interest in Rice was lukewarm at best but I don’t think Arteta was the one encouraging Pep to bid. If anything I think the West Ham side requested the shill bid to force Arsenal to increase their offer and City were happy to comply given that paying an extra £15m to get their man hurts their main rival. Ornstein reporting an agreement has finally been reached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's wrong on that point, but Man City have a long history of tepid interest in players that suits their agenda in various ways. I remember them 'wanting' to sign total duds like Sanchez and Maguire which had a, I'm sure totally coincidental, negative impact on their rivals who had to put in higher bids. Man city were never that bothered about Rice, a player they don't even need who probably wouldn't start in their current side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
