    Arsenal wont finish top 4 next year, they will be back fighting with Spurs for a uefa cup place and a good cup run

      I still think that man city will fall away somewhat when Pep ****s off. They will still be top 4 team but wont be anywhere near being as good as they are now.

        It'll be the same with us. It's just natural with generational managers, unless you can find top class managers to step in.

        The thing with City, is that unless the PL investigation comes down hard on them (which we all know it won't), then their money will help them stay competitive. They won leagues and domestic cups under Mancini and Pellegrini. All they have to do is appoint someone competent, and they should still be competing at the top. Maybe they won't be as dominant, and we'll have a more varied list of PL champions, but they'll still win a shed load of trophies.

        Good chance for City now to offload Fat Kalvin to West Ham.

          City put in £90M bid for Rice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66027803

          He's a good player but crazy money is being banded around these days.

            £60-100m is just the ballpark for 'decent' players these days. Absolutely ridiculous. By the end of this transfer window, the Mac Allister deal will look like daylight robbery.

              Chucking a lazy 200m at Rice and Gvardiol. No problemo

                ...sadly, that's why they're always so hard to compete against each season. When decent players leave, quality upgrades come in. Cash no problem.

                    ...very true. Anything can happen until the ink is on the contract. Likelihood is, even if not these two, they'll strengthen with proven quality at some point in the window...

                      Was just on the radio that their 90m bid for Rice was knocked back by West Ham immediately.

                      No idea if that is true but thgat's what was said.

                        West Ham and Moyes will hear the words 'Man Citeh' and immediately add an oil tax of 30% to any fee quoted to other clubs. Still think Rice will get a nose-bleed anywhere north of Watford services.

                          The tax on Mount and Rice with one year to go on their contracts is ridiculous.

                              I think Rice effectively has 2 years, with West Ham having an option of another year which can kick in on the 1st July.

                              Still crazy money though.

                                £70m for Mount with 1 year just makes him unbuyable.
