They should be looking for both.
At least, this year, there has been no major departures from the EPL. That's good for the league.
I still maintain that United will win it or narrowly miss out to City.
Arsenal still have a great team provided the players commit to the work and the manager focuses on the league.
Liverpool will fight for top four but thier football style isn't built for the league, it's a style for knock out games so I predict they will have a good run in Europe and domestic cups.
Spurs will be the same as they always have, a mid table team punching above thier weight. They will maintain a top four finish at best or narrowly miss out at worst. I don't see them winning anything.
Chelsea are the dark horse as they remain difficult to predict, which is strange because they are the league champion. I'd put them as either staging a shocking league run or even European cup run.

Welcome to Chelsea, Riyad!!!!
Seems like they did all their business early.
I think United still desperately need winger and full back.

I'm currently a free agent, so I'm expecting their call any time now. 1 million pound signing bonus is all I want, which is only 1/220 of a Neymar which seems about right for my skill level.

United seems to be a pretty well put together squad.
When you keep Fellaini on the bench you have the deepest squad.

Refused to sign a new contract with Arsenal? Turned down a move to Chelsea?
Hmm. Maybe they're going to Man United, or Barca, or Madrid...
What? Liverpool?!?!
Who, in their right mind, would actively go out of their way to sign for Liverpool? The man needs his head checked.

I just had a look at the predictions doc, it's pretty funny that only 12 out of 28 predictions had Liverpool in the top 4. It doesn't include the recent predictions from the last few pages, of which all but one have Liverpool in the top 4.

I would, I fucking love him but he looks like a serious chainsmoker which would put me off.
I'd take the hit. It'd be worth it.

Dude probably smells like he rolls around in a giant ash tray 24/7. I would want a Conte hug, he probably smells like expensive cologne and fine wine.
He'd probably snap your neck if he thought you weren't giving the hug your all though.
Seems that way. Juve will get an absolute beast if he continues developing at this rate.
Good point, but I wouldn't let that put me off.
Yeah, you're going to mingebag your way to signing another very good player! Don't know how you keep doing it :lol
Maybe a hint of a cigar too though.
Bilic? Hmm. Maybe some boiled cabbage and a Big Mac. Could've been so different. Poor bloke. Redknapp? Piss, no doubt about it.
You got it wrong. They're apparently trying to sign ONE of those players, not all.

Palace going for Mangala, Sakho no longer on their radar. Hope West brom get their act together & put in a bid now.
Meanwhile he's going back to his Darth Pearce persona

Have to get Van Dijk. Pay them what they want
Don't think they want anything at the moment. Like us with Coutinho.

I'd love to see what Conte could do with Mahrez. Not convinced we'll get him though, as long as we fill out our bench and deal with our depth issues I'll be happy.
Never really check him playing but what is play style? Is he like Khedira there? I mean considering Khedira aged, many of us fans believe that this year is going to be his last season with us.
The power of being damn cheapskate and actually winning trophy i guess lol.
Also, probably because our team never hold players. If a player wanted to leave, they will be able to leave with no fuss. Especially if the price is righto lol. I mean, even Alves move out as free transfer this season and even for all his bad comment on us, there is literally no retaliation on him at all. As we respect those who had wear Black and White shirt.

I think they will sell for 70m, just not to Liverpool. If Chelsea or City offer it, he will be gone.
Watch highlights of the Arsenal game, he was fucking everywhere in that game. He is developing into a complete midfielder. He can play offensively, defensively and was used to great effect as a centre back in his first season. He can break up play, make late runs into the box, has fantastic short passing and can score spectacular goals. Over his time at Liverpool he has gotten better and better and he is still only 23. I'll be gutted if we lose him, and would sacrifice someone like Lemar if it meant we paid him what he wants.

Just saw that Spain's transfer window doesn't close until tomorrow night. So I guess today will be all about who we do/don't buy, and tomorrow will be all about whether Barca manage to get 🐍2.0
My guess is we wont get VvD, might get Lemar, and sell Coutinho tomorrow, making FSG/the club look like idiots after coming out so strongly that he won't go. Wouldn't be a transfer window if Liverpool didn't do something stupid
I'm surprised that more Arsenal fans aren't saying this - he's been whining about how shit everyone else at Arsenal is for ages now. Even if he is right, he still shouldn't be making it so public that he thinks that way, would do my head in

A hint of cigar is okay, I'm sure it's a classy cigar. Nobody here wants a Wenger hug, since it probably smells of cheese and defeat.
Llorente, Mahrez, Barkley, Drinkwater and Rose.
Pls

Genuinely surprised the Ev left it so late, feels like it's been 6 months since they sold Lukaku, and they have known he would be gone since last year.
After seeing how shit arsenal have been in the first 3 games I'd deffo be giving pool more of a chance at top 4 than arsenal.

I don't see any possible way out for Arsenal this time. Even if they keep Sanchez I doubt he will have a vintage season. He doesn't need to as his WC spot is pretty safe.
Yea, that's probably one of his milder examples alright.

The lower league transfer made up rumour accounts (usually ran by a 15 year old) are off and running. Rickie Lambert linked with Portsmouth, its too early in the morning to deal with why this bullshit.

That's a good signing, I have always rated him. I wanted Liverpool to sign him instead of Carroll 6 years ago. I'm surprised it didn't work out for him at Juve
They do it so often to other teams, it's nice to see come around on them.
Liverpool have a better manager and overall squad than Arsenal do, and Arsenal will also have Europa games this season. The negative atmosphere at Arsenal at the moment only makes things harder for them too (Liverpool can confirm this with how the club was under Hicks and Gilette, and under Hodgson)
Liverpool have to really fuck up this season to finish behind Arsenal, especially if Sanchez does leave today, and that was true before a ball had been kicked this season.
I can get why people expect Liverpool to finish outside the top 4, but theyre better than Arsenal for sure

Richard Keys is a fucking gobshite
I gave up when the club released that apology statement in June. I'm just really pissed we never bothered lining up another target. I'm not willing to believe that there isn't an upgrade on Lovren available somewhere.

Fun Richard Keys Fact: He is currently divorcing his cancer-stricken wife, to whom he has been married for 30+ years, as he is having an affair with one of his daughters pals.

That doesn't sound very fun for his wife.
