Wow! The transfer window for the 2013/2014 season is DONE and DUSTED and my word what amazing transfers! Think everyone may still be awed by OZIL coming to ARSENAL though. That my dear friends is probably the biggest deadline transfer I've witnessed in a long long time!
I'm looking at all the teams in the English Premier League and this years race is gonna be a tough one! My predictions? Ill highlight that at the end of this post but my word.. I'm amazed.
MANCHESTER UNITED
FELLAINI has gone to MANCHESTER UNITED! That for me was a no brainer. I told a colleague in JUNE that DAVID MOYES was gonna find it difficult to stamp down his authority in his new team so the best thing for him to do is to retire GIGGS, SCHOLES and FERDINAND (IMO THE CABAL of the MAN-U team). Well, SCHOLES has gone, GIGGS is on his way but FERDINAND is still around (shrugs). Also told him MOYES should get FELLAINI and BAINES into his team.. Well BAINES didn't go through but ah well.. They came close didn't they? MAN U have bought ok but guess what? They're gonna struggle this year! That is for sure!
LIVERPOOL
This is one team to watch out for! The may just make it into the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE this year! Except if BRENDAN ROGERS just gets his tactics all wrong! THEY KEPT SUAREZ! UNBELIEVEABLE! (Forgot to mention MAN U kept WAYNE ROONEY too) Now keeping SUAREZ was either an UNBELIEVABLE GOOD MOVE or an UNBELIEVABLY STUPID one. Time will tell! They have an inform STURRIDGE and have also bought some TOP PLAYERS too (SAKHO comes to mind). They also got an experienced KOLO TOURE (good move).
ARSENAL
MESUT OZIL! Nuff said. World class midfielder! Created the most assists in the past 3-5 years in Europe. More than MESSI, more than C.RONALDO. Got into the Fifa 11 team last season. Real good move by ARSENE! Will he be enough? Hmmm. I don't know.. Maybe... Maybe not.. Got FLAMINI! Another good move add VIVIANO as well but they also need a TOP STRIKER! Let's wait and see!
CHELSEA
Chelsea did its business early.. Brought in SCHURRLE, DE BRUYNE back from loan and SAMUEL ETO'O. Lastly they have MOURHINO aka "The Happy One" *making an uninterested face* He will make the difference! CHELSEA have the most talented midfield in the EPL and a schemer of a manager in MOURINHO! Full of his MIND GAMES and TRICKS! In my opinion, CHELSEA are the number one contenders for the title.
MANCHESTER CITY
Manchester City brought in a solid coach in the mold of Pellegrini! A good and experienced tactician who did wonders with his MALAGA squad last year. The same squad who were robbed under controversial circumstances in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE by BORUSSIA DORTMUND who were eventual finalists.
TOTTENHAM FC
Hmmm. TOTTENHAM have sold their most prized asset, GARETH BALE!! For a ton of money too!
Mehn, I've never seen such an OVERPRICED player! Fantastic player though but WAAY overpriced! A world record was broken and cudos to D. LEVY for procuring such a deal for his club! The money he got was wisely invested in TOP QUALITY PLAYERS too. They're definitely gonna make a run for it... Would it be enough to break into the top four? Hmmm.. With Liverpool stepping up too? I doubt it.
Here is my prediction for the 2013/2014 EPL season.
1. CHELSEA
2. ARSENAL
3. MANCHESTER CITY
4. LIVERPOOL
I can hear you scream, WHAT??!! Lol. Calm down.. Time will tell..
5. MANCHESTER UNITED
6. TOTTENHAM
