    Problem we may have is getting the midfield to gel. I have no idea who is the best mix out of Gerrard Lucas Adam and Henderson, and Aquilani is looking good, and we still have Meireles and Cole. We have options, but I think a team needs to have a settled core. It may be a three of Lucas Gerrard and Adam, but that leaves a lot of competition which could work against us if we over rotate. Also, I think we will be relying on Carroll to be fit the whole season, and to be able to thrive in the system Kenny plumps for. If we lose him, then I dont think we have enough power and pace up front. I dont really rate Kuyt as a striker, as he is too slow, and cant dribble. He works best running into the box late, not leading the line.

    Arsenal seem to me to be in a bit of disarray, with their two best players looking at leaving. The squad must be feeling that the team is in decline. I think Spurs may finish above them.

    If City sell their best player (Tevez), then the are building from scratch again. Chances are they wont gel. They were pretty poor last year, with many of their signings not performing. Although they did catch Chelsea, so you never know. We may be able to give Chelsea a run for their money. I just think they have the potential to step it up a gear.
    Most of their big time first team regulars (Yaya Toure, Silva, Kompany etc) had at least one year playing together so they should only be better next season. If they replace Tevez with Kun, who imo won't need any time to settle, and with Clichy and perhaps Nasri, they will be well balanced and incredibly tough to win over and to me they are the favorites to go all the way next year.
