I will

Never write off utd they won the title last year with the same squad.

my early optimism is gone, we ust don't have the midfield to compete..city,chelsea,spurs + arsenal

utd won't make it

Same squad but a different manager....never write of Arsenal, united can be written off.

Man City
Chelsea
Spurs
Arsenal
Man Utd
LFC

Get ready to eat your hat, it's moronic to think that the current Champions won't make the top 4, but we will.

they look crap to be fair, haven't played at all even against crystal palace.

van persie picking up strains again - moyes training maybe?
rooney wanting out. ferdinand looking past it. dodgy keeper.

i would be surprised if they got top 4. the other 4 are much stronger.

sadly we have to meny defenders now ,not enough decent attackers an midfielders

Brendan isn't buying for the squad's needs, I can't actually work out his transfer strategy.

Last season seemed to be, buy as many midfielders as possible, mixed in with players he knew and this season seemed to be buy as many defenders as possible as well as positions which didn't need improving.

What will next season be? buy as many strikers as possible.

its a mare not getting ericksen or lamala .willian. realy hope j allen can come back good . we need him badly,

I still have optimism that we can make it into the top 4. However you’re right EMP, we’re sadly short of quality and a bit of muscle at midfield, and without Coutinho we have no creativity there either. We also need a top quality striker and a top attacking midfield player, and on top of all that a class right winger to compliment Moses on the left, would make us a potent force.
However having said that, if Suarez plays like he did last season (without the mouth) and if Coutinho and Johnson (who’s vastly improved) gets back to their best, we just might hang in there until the winter window and the possible (though I wouldn’t hold my breath) signing of 3 quality players, AM, Striker and an RW. If we do then I would venture to argue we can get top 4 this season.
However it’s indefensible that we didn’t strengthen these positions with proven quality players during the summer window, giving that top quality is always thin on the ground at winter time, it’s not the best time to fill key positions.
Do I think we’ll sign those proven quality players in the winter window? No! I fully expect the silly policy to persist and more star gazing hopefuls will be added to the “group” while we struggle to field adequate replacements for injuries, suspensions, etc.
However should they surprise me and ditch the failed policy and bring in a few top players for those positions, then yes, I believe we can still snatch a top 4 place this season.
