Hope this doesn't happen, always looked like a quality player with a few defects to me, but seems like he's ironed some of them out, only going to get better and fits really well into style that Chelsea seem to be buying for. Good point that he won't probably get enough playing time at City...

This sounds like a potentially decent deal if he can get close to his Newcastle form (albeit only half a season of playing well in PL). Sort of requires a very particular way of playing if you take him, does that make it less attractive (or has that boat already sailed?)? Also, is someone known...

Agree with all of what's been said above, just think it's a shame that it's seen as a good thing that the dead wood have been shipped out. Not that they don't need to be sold, just that they turned into dead wood in the first place when so much was hoped of them, can't help but think that this...

I really wasn't surprised by Liverpool flopping last season to be honest. I think they really missed an opportunity by spending that huge amount of money so badly (I know the Torres money was factored in but...). I reckon they might be my dark horses for this year because it surely can't be too...

Great call on Osman, never understood why he's not been near the England squad. I actually think a fair amount of quality strikers from the 90s were horribly underused. Fowler and Wright especially would be much closer to being regular starters today and I think players like Collymore, Sutton...

Agree with BazSpurs86 about wanting Swansea to stay up, I really like the type of football they stand for (which preceded Rogers) but think they could well struggle. Would much rather see some other teams go down.

I reckon he's worth keeping and working out how to get the best out of him, seems like a lot a few players haven't progressed as expected and you wonder whether it's all about the players not being good enough (eg, was hoping to see Vela turn into a first-teamer and I'm sure Denilson was really...

Feel a bit sorry for him (emphasis on a 'bit'...), don't think he's exactly the next coming of Steven Gerrard and the high profile transfer fee has not helped him at all. If he had stayed at Sunderland or moved to a smaller club than Liverpool for something like £5-8m (ie, if there wasn't a...

I reckon Norwich, Swansea are going to struggle and then it's hard to tell. You'd expect QPR to be ok now that they've bought a load of decentish players and Reading and Southampton look like they might have some momentum. Maybe this will be the season Wigan finally go down...
