    £100m on players on top of what you already have will put you in with a real shout of 4th place IMO.

    Who do you rate most out of your youngsters? Got quite a few coming few there.

    Think Leicester have got a great chance of finishing in top 6, maybe at a push 4.

    Finished 19 points behind Spuds last season and I expect all the top 6 to strengthen plus Everton too. It will be tough for clubs to break into the cartel again next season IMO.

    Disagree. If Man Utd spend most of their budget on Maguire, that will massively backfire on them. Plus they really need to fix the Pogba and Sanchez situations.

    Arsenal don't look like making many significant signings, and will once again rely on their two front men. Behind those two, they are looking poor, let's be honest.

    Chelsea will likely start the season well, but with no Hazard, I would expect the goals to start drying up come November/December.

    I don't think Everton will do anything. Quite a few teams could finish above them, ourselves included.

    Gonna be very open this season.

    I just don't rate Brenda highly enough to be the man to improve Leicester that much.

    Tielemans signed in January on loan didn't he? I'm not sure how much their form improved when he signed (plus a new manager effect) but they have essentially paid £40m for keeping their team the same as at the end of last season. I like Perez, but he is pretty hit or miss and I don't see just him being able to improve them enough from the side that finished last season to compete with the top 6.

    Harvey Barnes was threaten to really take off at times last season and I think he will do well this year

    Demarai Gray gets alot of hype but thats all he is hype. Massively over rated

    Tielemans improved us massively. 3 goals and 6 assists in 13 games

    He can cut teams open with his passing. He set up loads of goals for Vardy

    Ahmed Musa the most exciting attacking signing made by a PL club.

    I reckon it will be the same top 2 followed by probably Spuds and one of the other big six for top 4, then the other 2 of the big 6 then the rest of the top half will be between Leicester, Everton, Wolves, West Ham, Watford and us.

    Can't see any of the promoted sides troubling the top half next season.

    I think the Mini-Skates might stuggle next season and be suprise candidates for the drop.

    Hope so. I'm thoroughly bored of them and their fans now (other than Ides).
