I agree with Welsh though, City have Haaland but they've lost a few key players as well, not sure if 1-man Haaland can replace the outgoings. I know Pep's different too but I'll remember what happened to Bundesliga stars coming to EPL just in past 2 seasons alone. I don't like using the world flop but...

What outgoings? I am not aware City lost anybody except for Fernadinho who was far from key player last season, his age caught up with him and it was time to move.

Haaland is probably at least a bit better than those players you mentioned and he is in perfect condition. I am not concerned for his adaption on Premier League but I am bit concerned cause he is going to play for Pep. We all know Pep doesn't really like proper strikers, hell Aguero and Ibrahimović in their prime were not good enough for him. I can see problems in their relationship arising very soon when Haaland realizes he will be just one cog in the machine and not the spearhead of all attacks.

Pep is perfect coach for players like Bernardo Silva, players that can play all 6 forward positions, but if you are a star wanting to build your own stats, that is almost doomed to fail.

Right, and to be honest I'm not even convinced he will do well. Hear me out before you get the pitch forks out, but most of his highlight reels are amazing, running with the ball, and using his pace. However, in reality most of his goals come in from tap ins. Now, that's a skill in its own right, don't get me wrong. However, is Haaland going to get as much space in the Premier League as the Bundesliga?

I don't know the answer to that, but we'll soon find out. I'm a little worried since I've watched a fair bit of City games now, and they tend to hit the byline, and cross it quite effectively. However, up until this point they haven't really had the players in the right positions. If Haaland can still get in the right positions, he could be the difference between City drawing or losing.

However, I'm definitely not cacking my pants because he has joined city. I'm quietly confident about Nunes, and we've got Diaz who is arguably the best signing of last season.

@LFC_Bitcoin Think we might even be playing an entirely new formation? So many question marks, but excited. Saw they Anfield new sections also already coming up!

Are you guys celebrating somewhere? Just read that Salah signed a new deal with Liverpool and since you guys aren't writing about it I guess you must be celebrating.

Good move from LFC to secure Salah, especially now that Mane left. New guys shiuld bring plenty of pace and explosivness to the attack as well. Should be another neck to neck battle with City for first spot. Don't see anybody else challenging them.

Haha nah I tend to be a bit conservative celebrating new players (or even extensions). For sure a huge boost, I really was prepared to say goodbye to Salah as well and this turned out from nowhere. I was hinting at it in my post you quoted though. Salah's staying so we've got a nice headache with formations, Nunez at the speartip and Salah, Firmino, Jota, Diaz, crowding behind him? Haha.

It’s certainly a relief, Salah might be 30 but how much would it cost in a transfer fee to sign somebody else who can replicate his goals & assists numbers? A lot I would imagine. I still think we need a top class midfielder but we will see, lots of time left in the transfer window.

Hopefully good things for LFC this season.

More than we could ever or would ever want to pay. Salah's the highest paid player now, but LFC breaking the bank's still not going to put us into the wealth stratosphere, and for good reason.

The thing is, yeah Man City are stronger, but the only real signing of note is Haaland who is known to have injury problems. So, he could be another Aguero where when he plays he delivers, but for much of the year is out injured. I actually think Haaland is a bit of a risk because of that.

I'm not buying into the idea that City is this unstoppable force. They dropped a lot of points last season when they got quite a good lead on us. One big signing doesn't make a difference in my opinion. Sure, more goals. However, I actually think their defence isn't exactly the best. Think they could improve there. Nah, I think Liverpool, and Chelsea are going to challenge this year. Arsenal, outside chance.

It depends more on Liverpool than City I would say.It was Liverpool losing points with weaker teams,more points than City lost with those teams that made a difference.I know Liverpool let Mane go to Bayern but I think Liverpool is still as strong as it was with Mane,they have the same other great players.It depends exclusively on them,if they not lose points during the upcoming season with weaker teams they have the same probability to win the Premier League as City has.The signing of Haaland is a great move for City but I think they were strong enough even without him,I doubt he will make a big difference in Premier League but that is to be seen.

while neighbors are celebrating Salah staying, we let go Richarlison to Tottenham, and that is a sign that next season could be as bad as this one
and there is no Burnley to save us this year, but hopefully Fulham will be there to relegate instead

nevertheless, for me it seems that City will dominate next season in Premier, but CL will be their headache again

I think Man City will still have a chance to get into the final but to talk about this club's defeat I think it's still too early to decide because they still have professional players who I think can surprise the crowd and fans of Man City. Mason Greenwood and Cristiano Ronaldo are professional players who still remain a very important hope.

What are you talking about?
Greenwood and Christiano are Manchester United players, not City. Plus, Mason Greenwood is probably done with his professional football career in PL, at least at the highest level, due to a private rambunctious scandal. it's been like this for more than half a year.

I don't think so about Fulham, I Think it is too early to really guess how bad this season may become, a new season will come with its own new things and surprises. Op, this season could be better, you forgot that this is a new season that many clubs are trying to tighten up their team to prevent their previous flaws. Hopefully, with the kind of players switching clubs right now I see an amazing premier league season ahead.

For now I still see Manchester City very much ahead of every other premier league team to lift the trophy.

Damn. That's a tough pill to swallow, while I don't like how the man plays, and his attitude when he plays against us. He was your best player I'd say. At least, what was left after Rafa. That's unfortunate, that he'll still be in the Premier League though, I expect more of the same shithousery that he did in Everton against us.

I don't think City will dominate, we have strengthened, and while City will be favourites I do expect us to be up there somewhere making it at least competitive.

I doubt Man City will be dominating too, but that will be up to how competitive the others too, it would have been a runaway since ending of march or thereabout if Liverpool weren't in the picture, it might be a case similar come the new season if Chelsea aren't able to keep up with the pace too, I've already ruled out Man United, Tottenham and Arsenal.

Trofo is now my number one rated journalist. Who would've thought I'd hear this type of news from Trofo themselves. I usually take a break from football, all the transfer speculation, since Liverpool usually get their business done early, and I honestly wasn't expecting any more transfers, and I certainly wasn't expecting Salah to sign yet.

Thought it would be next season. What brilliant news. Anyway, when are we putting in payments for the new season? It's like six week away isn't it? I need to fill in all my predictions in advance Cheesy

^Not to mention Superbru also has a prize pot on its own (also free). Of course, next to impossible to win, but it's an additional incentive to put your picks in. Hope you sort your account out or make a new one @Welsh heh heh.

Anyway, 2.5 mbtc is a cool entry fee for me. Not even $50 for an entire season of fun... a bit annoyed at letting slip in the final third last season but ready to go again.

Trying to get 0.2 for the pot so we can have 0.1 as the first prize. Will probably have the fee as 0.0025 so if we get 50 people that will be another 0.125 for the pot so hopefully over 0.3 in total.

that would be great
people obviously got e-mail from Superbru that Premier league is now active, so wanted to jump as early as possible

although, looking at transfer window, next season could be resolved pretty fast, with City left alone on the top

United is a mess now, could they be worst than last season, it will be a hard task, but they are capable to do it, as it now stands, bring Ole back, they had quite success with him, comparing to results after he left

I don't think it will be that easy for City as Liverpool is still as strong as it was before Mane moved to Bayern Munchen during the transfer that happened as of recently.They,Liverpool need to not lose points with weaker teams as in the end that is what costed them the Premier League last year,they kept fighting until the end but could not do more than the second place,City is a great team so if let to run away in the beginning stages then we are going to see a really boring Premier League season this year.

The fee of 0.0025 or 50 dollars right now is reasonable,hopefully we get many people to join and get that prize pot bigger and fatter.
