    Liverpool will be relegated long before United will finish outside the top 4 KPR.

    Tbh Liverpool were a little fortunate to avoid relegation last season at one point.

    IMO Silva can be that player if he adds goals to his game. And if they get Aguero, then they'll go to the next level, from what I've seen Aguero is miles better at involving his team mates in play and getting stuck in the build up play, Tevez is much more Torres-like when it comes to his gameplay.

    They've already improved the left back position massively in my opinion, and they could do with maybe a right back to replace Richards and a goalscoring midfielder that's tad more consistent than Yaya Toure.

    On their wages thing with FFP, apparently if the player isn't in the 25 man squad then it doesn't count towards FFP, which is crazy in my mind but it'll help them with the fact they won't have to try to shift so many deadwood. They can actually afford to keep them in the ressies.

    This doesn't make sense.

    If you'd have said we were in trouble at one point, I'd have agreed with you, but how can you avoid relegation at one point"?

    Jonesy, I just thinking exactly the same thing, but thought it was just part of my pedantic make-up that would be misunderstood amidst this hot house of debate. Let me know when you fancy running a 'proper punctuation' thread somewhere on the Board? ;o)

    GKRK.

    Man City don't play their first game until August 15th, at which time they will have zero points and very close to the foot of the table.

    Will they be in serious danger of relegation?

    12. Swansea (confident of a good first season, esp with a couple of new signings)

    19. Wigan
    20. QPR

    Silva and Aguerro could be those players, but then there is no guarantee of that, or that Mancini will actually allow them the freedom to influence games and drive the team forwards like SAF allowed Cantona and Keane, Wenger with Vieira and Henry and Mourinho with Drogba. I still get the feeling that Mancini is just too cautious to give any of his players the freedom and responsibility they need to inspire their team mates. Tevez is their only real source of inspiration atm, and as you pointed out he inspires his team mates more by scoring goals and focusing on himself than by inspiring others.

    Those will help, but they would be fairly minor changes imo, enough to keep them where they are and hold off challengers to their top 4 spot, but not really strengthening their squad.

    Really? That'll piss KPR off no end! Tho' I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere - the only wages I have seen excluded from FFP are the wages of players under 18 and still in the academy as they count as youth development. Do you have a source?

    Anyone who thinks Man City will win the league need to find another sport.
