who's winning the prem.

[KingKirk 25,650]

Costa won't flop. He is part of a better team 25+ goals this season.. He was what they needed last season and he can win Chelsea the league

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

I'm not going to try and predict how Costa will do but strikers who have come to the EPL from La Liga have been a real mixed bag

Aspas, Morientes, Reyes, Soldado all flopped big time but Torres at Liverpool & Michu were great.

Can anybody think of any more?

Mata, De Gea and a few at Arsenal

Edit strikers

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

Mata

Fuck knows how I managed to forget him.

There's probably loads more too who haven't even come into my head too

[The Godfather 71,902]

I never saw strikers

Can't think of any other than the ones you said.

[The Godfather 71,902]

I think the fact Atletico play the same system as Chelsea try to play will help him fit in.

No one knows though, I suppose anyone you bring in is a risk...just look at Torres who was great iin the EPL and now is a running joke....literally

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

I think Costa will do ok. Half the battle is adapting to the physicality and he shouldn't have any problems with that side of it.

[The Godfather 71,902]

His biggest problem will be his temper.

The FA will hang him out to dry with all his antics he got away with in Spain.

[Gillete 1,338]

Think costa is your typical English centre fwd

He will adapt to English football no problem

[G.E.C. 18,792]

I thought Reyes done alright at Arsenal.

[Blue corn flakes 1,282]

City again.

[BFerguson6 121]

Chelsea :D

[wearethemighty 186]

United or Chelsea.

United only because they have no european games, but they have a tough end to their season

Chelsea because they have the best squad in the prem.

[Wearethepeople72 1,845]

No chance United will win it. Massive rebuilding job required there. It's between Chelsea and City for me. I'll go for Chelsea.

[born a blue nose 90,803]

got to be Chelsea for me, talk of them doing a cash plus ramires deal for modric, who is the polar opposite to willian, and will offer something totally different for games that are squeezed.

fabregas is suited for the prem as is costa. I think Chelsea are going to be massively hard to beat this season.

and man u have a massive rebuilding job on there hands. city will be there and there abouts. liverpool will struggle for top 4.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

I doubt Real will sell Modric, especially if they are going to replace him with Ramires.

I think they are more likely to let Khedira go and sign Ramires outright.

[Bad Robot 21,154]

It's between Chelsea or United IMO.

Chelsea have done most of their buisness early with Costa already passing medical and Luis joining shortly so they are saying.

----------Cech--------

Azpi---Cahill----Terry---Luis

-------Matic---Fabregas------

Willian----Oscar----Hazard

----------Costa---------

Really does look like a powerful typical Mourinho side.

United if they get the right players in will also be dangerous given nothing else to focus on other than the EPL.

Arsenal are Arsenal, full of talk but back it up with fuck all.

Liverpool will struggle with so many games for the first time in a long time. Wedensday Sunday at the top level might be too much for them.

I just don't think City will do it this season for some reason.

Luiz is away to psg

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

I wonder if LVG might go to Aston Villa for Ron Vlaar.

He is crying out for an experienced centre back who knows the English game and Vlaar is who he knows/trusts and they could probably get him for 6-8 million which isn't a lot for Man Utd.

[FernandoR20 2,133]

Luiz is away to psg

........

[the goal machine 7,803]

Luiz is away to psg

Filip Luis, the Atletico left back.

He's hardly been great for Villa though. He's had injury problems but Van Gaal shouldn't just target players from his WC squad.

Why the fuck would the Champions League winners sell their most improved player and one of their most important players last season in exchange for fucking Ramires?

[G.E.C. 18,792]

Real Madrid.

[bluepeter 5,627]

Man united at 6/1 is easy money £100 on that.. Who's your choice.

6/1 United is great odds

money to help fund a suarez bid? maybe they feel they dont need him next season? a player that is defensively better than him? there are quite a few reasons tbf
