    Can see the spuds being overtaken by West Ham this season, as the third London club behind Chelsea and Arsenal.

    If you buy a proven CF and CB then that would be a real statement of intent. I'd have you as one of the title favourites and you'd finally be putting your balls on the line. No disrespect but Wenger really is a stubborn **** sometimes. Even IF he wins it now without buying anyone he wouldn't have proved a thing. His whole philosophy (while perhaps a noble one) has been undermined more and more over the last 10 years.

    Btw there is one caveat about Arsenal as opposed to last season... SANTI CAZORLA!

    In terms of who will miss out of top 4, it'll be Spurs imo. Then it'll be a case of 4 out of the 5 that are left. I would include Liverpool in that tbh. Very very hard to say who will miss out.

    It'll be even tighter next season when we only have 3 sides in the CL.

    I'm serious, ownership that has never been frightened to spend (even at Birmingham), a new 60,000 ground (that they had to contribute 2/3rds of **** all, to get) providing a decent income stream on top of the premiership money, a decent manager and a team that just needs to add a little consistency.

    Never happen. They were a country mile behind us last season. They would have been even further behind if we hadn't imploded at the very end. They will be behind us again...

    Good post and I agree with most of it.

    Klopp works on team graft and team spirit, we have more funds than he had a Dortmund so he is able to spend more here than he did there, he bought players there that are now household names in world football.

    I expect players like Mane (who BTW is a perfect Klopp player) to excel with him there. I think it's too early for us to win the PL, but I expect us to do well, and after a couple more windows we should have an excellent squad that Klopp can develop into Champions.

    He always said he'd need a few seasons to turn a squad like he was given around, all fans that I know are more than happy to give him that time. He's bought such a buzz to the players and everyone connected to the club, it's rejuvenated a rather ****e last few years.

    Happy days.
