if we get in the top 4 which team will drop out of it

[CJ]

as the title says

[Fosterbloke]

Arsenal

[CJ]

i was thinking that a couple of weeks ago, i suppose they are the least likely to improve

[Kinell]

First thought is Arsenal but if United don't buy the right players this summer then they could definitely fall.

[JohnDoe]

Man City if Mancini is still their manager.

[DannyMan2006]

Let's see who everyone buys and sells.

my guess would be arsenal if they don't get the money to invest. City have to much financial power behind them, and I suspect Chelsea will show their financial powers as well this summer. The scum won't go out of top-4 as long as Ferguson is manager.

[Exiled_red]

I think it's between Arsenal and Man City. Arsenal a proven bottlers and the Champions League could distract Man City, it's not an issue they have had to deal with before.

i think arsenal are in freefall at the moment. the negativity around the playing staff is pretty strong and the way they fell away at the back end of the season again was shocking.

cant see man city falling out of the top 4 because they will buy more players and perhaps even replace mancini.

utd will always be there or there abouts and being honest they won the league with an average team so they have the know how. but they still need to find replacements for van der saar, scholes, giggs, neville, and looking ahead ferdinand who is 32 already. Others including berbatov, owen, vidic, evra, carrick, wes brown are near to or over 30 so its a fair bit of rebuilding to do.

chelsea are an aging team and they too will need to replace a few lads but the fifa financial fair play rules might impact somewhat.

If we make the right signings then top 4 is a definite possibility.

sums it up pretty well - United and to a lesser extent Chelsea really need to look to replace a lot of their first team playing staff in the next few seasons, I think though for the time being they're pretty safe as top 4 sides.

Citeh I think will stay top 4 BUT as with Spurs the added distraction of CL football could catch them out (don't think it will)

This leaves Arsenal, they really could be in serious danger or dropping from the top 4 this coming season, that back 4 as you said is shaky to say the least and they desperately need to bring in a decent keeper.

You hope with a few good signings we'll be back in for the next season as without a doubt that was the poorest season in terms of quality for many a year

[The_weatherman]

Are you bored Marsh? I'd guess Arsenal unless they have a really good summer, although pondering that question I've come to the conclusion that we must have a really, really good summer!

[chrispy]

Arsenal.

[Norbs]

Don't care which, as long as one of them does. Looks most likely to be Arsenal though based on form in 2011

[Craig_H]

If Arsenal dont finally buy the players they've needed for 5 years, then Wenger will be run out of town.
