A bit early I know and I have no idea why we've never done one of these and sustained it throughout the season.

Anyway, with the Transfer Window barely open we'd be hasty in making predictions on who will be competing for the Title or who will be going down but here's my thoughts anyway:

Champions:

Man City; It's hard to look passed them, Pellegrini really did hit the ground running and I'm sure they'll look to improve the squad further despite being hit with a transfer cap by UEFA (£50M I think), keeping Toure is a must.

Chelsea; Can Mourinho take advantage of Man City's Yaya Toure turmoil or the transfer cap, depends if they can find a genuine top striker.

Man Utd; Van Gaal is the new manager and has had great success in Spain and Germany but there really isn't a scenario where you can honestly see them becoming champions next season, success for Man Utd would be to get back into the CL and then go from there. Big spending required in the summer.

Liverpool; Sorry Scousers, but I don't see it happening this time either. Liverpool gave everything last season and Rogers seemingly squeezed every ounce of ability out of the players, unless there's a £250M kitty waiting to be spent it would be unrealistic to expect either A. Rogers to do the same again B. The players to have magically closed the ability gap they suffer against Man City/Chelsea.

Arsenal/Spurs; Not in contention at this point IMO.

I'll give my opinion on relegation once the Playoffs have confirmed who will be promoted.

Jose is gonna sign either pogba,vidal,fabregas or koke to partner matic in an unstoppable defensive midfield. Costa is on his way to chelsea apparently, and the defense is stacked so I think it's chelsea's to lose.

I wish West Ham would sack BFS already, im sick of seeing the same guys playing and us losing. We signed some great players and I bet you anything Sam will still play Nolan in the CAM spot and either bench Zarate or play him as a lone striker. Also the guy continues to play dumb Cole upfront alone, he'd do okay if someone else was upfront with him.

City aren't winning the title to the other predictors in the thread not named gonzo. You would be a fool to pick them especially since chelsea got all the hard fixtures out of the way already unlike city.

Signing bony literally does nothing for them, nothing at all. He is worth 8 mil not 30. Their defense, goaltending and defensive midfielding are atrocious.
