Just saw this pop up and Ji Sung Park was proved correct. He should become a pundit on Sky/BT after he finishes his current role with Man Utd.

Our wage bill going down. I can see why RVP left on big wages and now he gets similar amount at his new club.

Wage bill going down?
By 5k a week?
If you sign anyone else your wage bill will have gone up.

Think we got rid of Fletcher and Anderson back last January as well and between the two of them that's a pretty good players wage for a whole year without increasing the wage bill.

Well after today I might have ovestimated Chelsea but having said that they grinded out a draw when being peppered on there goal with clear chances.

Leicester City

Predicted position: 17th

If Nigel Pearson was still in the Foxes’ hot seat then I would be placing Leicester a fair bit higher than just one place above the drop-zone.

He wasn’t the most liked manager in the Premier League, due to his baffling interviews and touchline antics, but he did the unbelievable by guiding Leicester to not only safety, but comfortable safety, so much so that they could simply relax in their final game against Queens Park Rangers, which they won 5-1.

However, now that Pearson has been sacked, due to a falling out over an incident involving his son, it’s tough to predict who Leicester will bring in and the changes that the new boss will make. Jurgen Klopp has been vaguely linked with the job, and while it does seem a tad unrealistic, Leicester’s philosophy might suit the German perfectly, so who knows?

For what it’s worth, Leicester would have to have a truly shocking season to go down and I believe that they will avoid the drop one way or another.

BTW I now think we got the 3rd best squad due to injuries and LVG having a clearout. I think for them to finish 17th they would only have to get around 6 points from a possible 69

Manchester United

Predicted position: 5th

Forget Chelsea, Arsenal or City for pre-season predictions and expectations, the number one question above all others is where United will conclude their campaign.

Just like City, Liverpool and Everton, the Red Devils underachieved massively last season, and although they showed glimpses of being a genuine title-winning side with some hard-fought wins towards the back-end of the season, namely at Liverpool and Crystal Palace, they then went on to lose at home to West Brom and away to Everton, putting them right back at square one.

After the ill-spoken season under David Moyes, last season was about transition and United fans knew it. Louis Van Gaal was an exciting prospect to fill the unfillable void left by Sir Alex Ferguson, and although his reign has yet to lift-off, once he has little-by-little pieced together the squad he desires, we should see a serious title challenge from the new-look Manchester United.

Having said that, LVG has already made a number of signings so far this summer. Memphis Depay and Matteo Darmian were the first two through the Old Trafford doors, and although they are both certainly players that Manchester United need, neither have been greatly discussed in an over-glorified manner. Long-serving Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is also set to join the Red Devils after informing the German giants that he wanted to undertake a new challenge before it was too late. The World Cup winner is certain to make a big impact at United, and he will be joined by Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, who has undergone a medical with the club ahead of a £25 million switch.

United now have plenty of talent available in midfield, but it doesn’t require a detective to know that United frantically need a quality centre-back, and although Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford of late, no solid proof of a genuine move has been revealed as yet.

Central defence is a key area, and should United somehow fail to sign a top centre-back, I can’t see them finishing in the top four, particularly so if goalkeeper David De Gea opts to move to Real Madrid.

All eyes on Old Trafford.

Well we beat Everton away 3-0 with same scoreline we lost with last season and managed to beat West Brom 2-0 by a bigger margin then they beat us last season Does that mean we are title challengers. DDG stays and even without his help we allowed very few shots against us just like the season before.

Quite frankly I think that tells you all they need to now about views on United, they just want to criticise so write us off at the beginning of the season and then criticise us at the end when we did better than they said we would on the premise we should have done better.
