I can't get excited about this, we've done this repeatedly since RVP left, never signing quality and settling for 2nd tier players and that's why we are where we are now, this signing isn't going to win us anything, 4th place is about our limit.

I think our top four trophy is in jeopardy this season.

That's about the millionth season in a row I've people say that.
I think we'll finish top 4 but we won't win the league and that's the issue for me. With our resources we should be challenging.

I think it will be a mighty fight for us to finish top 4. I think Utd, City and Chelsea will all finish above us, out of us, Spuds, Leicester and Liverpool for 4th IMO.

Last season, Chelsea, United and City didn't perform well, they have now strengthened in the management position and on the field. Liverpool could be a force to be reckoned with, but who knows after they lost at the weekend. Tottenham could remain at the level they were at last year, so it could be a fight with us and them for 4th. Add into that the unknown quantities of other clubs, such as Everton and who knows what could happen. I don't disagree that we should be challenging for the title though. Winning it would be tough, but it would be good to be there or there abouts in April.

There are more teams in the mix this year but every year, especially when we've had a rocky start, people have said we won't finish top 4. Always have. I think we will again.

We will :lol:

I think we'll finish 3rd behind City and Utd. Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs for 4th. Leicester won't finish top 4 IMO.

Why have you knocked Chelsea out of the equation?

Just don't think they'll be as strong as the Manchester sides or us. May be wrong. We'll see.

It's never about the quality. It's always about the price tag. It's a gamble.
