Will it happen? Tevez and Ballatelli are pretty unsettled and could be gone, whilst Real are sniffing around Aguero. The midfield is still too reliant upon Silva and Toure as well. The English league is as poor at the moment as it's been in a while. United's problems have been shown up in Europe, Chelsea are on the wane, Arsenal seem to be getting gradually worse, Liverpool are ****er than ever and Spurs don't have the consistency yet and could lose 4th spot to Newcastle FFS. Despite all of that they still don't look like winning the league.
Its expected really though isnt it? They have alot of big name players all in the same team, its going to take a while for them to settle down and play united.
The English Premier League is doing pretty bad if you look at it like that, and compare it to other leagues. But if you do look at United and City, they do have quality squads, and both probably could have the potential to get into the final of the Champions League.
As for Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham (won't even bother including Liverpool), well:
Chelsea have a good squad - but with changing manager they arent going to go anywhere in the league other than downwards in my opinion. They asked AVB to come in and completely reform the squad - he tried but wasnt given a chance and got sacked. So as soon as they lose their big players they are screwed.
Tottenham - They are doing it the old fashioned(ish) way, they are building up gradually and they are doing a good job. Wether it was the England talk or something else they are going through abit of bad form, but another few seasons with a few more key players and they will be Top 4 regularly.
Arsenal - Constantly say it, the squad they have now is good enough for Top 4, if they had an extra 4 players or so they could win the league easily imo, and they would be a good champions league side easily. They just need a big name in defence, and in midfield, and a good striker to partner RVP.
So English footy isn't all bad...in terms of Europe this season we havn't been good, but i have no doubt we will be in a few years. And in terms of the league - its made one exciting season!!
