Looks like Pep is going to do a Fergie and rebuild a new team with kids. City are going to dominate for the next decade unfortunately.
Vini snagging the 7. I see you young man. Lay claim to it before Mbappe rolls into town.
The league title is going to be super elusive no matter what we do going forward I think. As said as it is to say.
The smart thing for Ange to do is to focus on doing as well as possible in the league every year, but maybe try to get over the trophy dry spell through the cups, Europa or Conference League. And just be ready to pounce if the oil teams end up having one of those off years that happen every now and again.
As much as I want us to win the league, I just don't see how it is possible when looking at the other players in the game.
I like your turn of phrase here, elusive gives the implication that we will be close but just miss out...
And "no matter what we do" implies that we will do anything at all in trying for it...
Madrid still light upfront so are they gonna try for mbappe this summer instead of waiting for him?
Only brought in Joselu so far.
That's the on going narrative yes. Perez is dead set on landing Mbappe and have more or less called off all other transfers this summer in order to pursue him.
Would be weird If they did go into the season with a front 3 of Vini, Joselu, Rodrygo.
Stacked in midfield.
Vini and Rodrygo are obviously good. But they may be a bit light on the wings with not much behind them.
And Joselu has developed since his bad spell at Newcastle. He was the third best striker in La Liga last season with only 2-3 goals less than Benzema. And that was on Espanyol who went down. But yeah. It's a very light attacking lineup. Injuries will decide how they finish the season.
Oh god, they're gonna be even more unbearable now!
No, they will be light and get him next season imo
Just watching the Brighton/Newcastle game. I know it’s only a friendly but Brighton totally dominating, Newcastle can barely get out
of their half or string three passes together.
of their half or string three passes together.
One commentator was keen to point out that Brighton fielded 7 or 8 league starters, but NU fielded only 3 or 4.
Looking at Villa v Brentford, it looks like Villa might challenge top 5.
It's 3-3 at the moment, but Villa look very good.

Quality of the prem next season might be the greatest of any league in football history.
Pep, Klopp, Arteta, Emery, Pochettino, Ten Hag, Howe, De Zerbi, postecoglou
That is some selection of managers.
Many of these clubs able to spend hundreds of millions each buying all the talent. You still obviously have the Madrids, Barcas and Bayerns but just looking at the squads City, Liverpool, Woolwich, Chelsea, Newcastle, Villa, Man United are putting together it’s crazy.
Half the league will be top draw teams, that has never happened before in any country in any league. I don’t think people realise we are moving into somewhat uncharted territory.
