<p>with the coin thrown around, and the managers they have, i find it impossible to think they won't be there or thereabouts again. I would love for one of them to go spectacularly wrong though, especially if it's the combination of Man fucking united and that Portuguese prick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The egos floating around Old Trafford this year will be out of control. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Klopp has already said 'pool aren't buying any big names, and we paid a shitload for another Southampton player. Still holes in the squad, but we don't have as many fronts to fight on this year. </p>

<p>Saw some ridiculous stat on how much money Liverpool had spent on players from Southampton, Sunderland, Newcastle and Villa in the last 5 seasons - 250 million or something bizarre!</p> -
Yep. And they're shit mainly

<p>Big Chelsea fan here, looking forward to a new dawn. As much as I enjoyed another league championship with Mourinho back at the helm his behavior has become more and move volatile over the last few years and I think it had a toxic effect on the club. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A season without European football will allow us to consolidate our efforts and focus on the league. </p> -

<p>Well Conte certainly seems to know how to set up a team, judging by the way Italy tamed Spain in the Euros. With Kante to do the dirty work, he should be able to mould a similar unit with that Chelsea squad.</p> -

<p>Yeah, that was a good bit of business. My major concern right now is the lack of depth at striker, we've been threadbare there now for a number of seasons. After Costa there's not enough quality in the squad. </p> -
<p>from what i read, your centre backs aren't really suited to Conte's preferred game plan, so something is going to have to change there as well. </p>

<p>Yes, Conte used the same back 4 (including Buffon) for Juve and Italy. </p>
