Am I the only here who thinks Everton will have a very good season? No Europa League, which was a huge distraction last season.

With Deulofeu they basically have the same team that finished 5th in 2013-14. Their starting XI isnt worse than Liverpool's or Tottenham's.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

You always hear about it in the media etc. but you never know what it really means.


Producing your own players, keeping the ball on the deck and playing attractive attacking football. Basically what Barcelona do, but nowhere near on the same level. That said, they haven't produced (or played a part in producing) any truly top young players since Lampard/Ferdinand/Terry/Carrick/Cole/Defoe in the mid-to-late-90s, and they haven't played in that style for years.

1-Chelsea
2-Arsenal
3-City
4-Liverpool
5-United
6-Spurs

Southampton could struggle with European commitments.

Mourinho always fails in his third year and Chelsea weren't smart in the summer.

Costa is having hamstring problems again and another am wasn't bought.

Mourinho still has faith in cahill-terry and ivan.

With Benzema i think Arsenal has a chance to win the tittle.

Maybe with better full backs too.

we won't get benzema though. We just need to be healthy man , 33-35 league starts from our core guys and I think we can do really well in league. We can never get that many games out of our main guys though like other top teams do.. I might be asking for too much

With a prolific striker, Arsenal will definitely be a threat to the title. Been hearing Lewandowski rumours too, not sure if there's any substance there.

Giroud is solid, but not the kind of striker they need.

wenger has talked to his reps multiple times in the summer apparently but he doesn't want to leave real and real wouldn't sell as there literally is no replacements out there.

as for lewandowski he's the backup option but he's completely unattainable. So its a Giroud/welbeck duo again ahaha, Going to need giroud to keep up his form from last year and for theo to add goals now to makeup for the lack of a WC striker. We never had theo the past 2 seasons basically so I hope he can score 15-20

ahahha nah that was BS , he was always with the team. Dumb arsenal fans started a rumour that he's leaving the real madrid's tour after he posted a pic of him on a private jet with a really cryptic caption "on to new things" or something like that. Turns out it was an old picture and he never left them.

it's funny the amount of trolling a player can do on social media lol

I'm thinking Lacazette might be the only option at this point but he sucked for Lyon in the Emirates Cup so I think that ship has probably sailed too.
