TRANSFERS
Music: Superwoman by ???
Mood: Normal
Now with the World Cup coming, there will be a whole lot of speculation over those who are going and those who are not. 2 great attackers went to spain this week. 1 is Robert Pires and the other is Fernando Morientes. As expected they outlasted their welcome in England and are now going to Spain to save their careers. Unfortunately, the only significant transfer to date is Michael Ballack from Bayern Munich to Chelsea. Not only is he going to be a flop like SWP but he will be a sap of Chairman Abramovich's oil money. It seems that Chelsea have a artifact hunter of a manager. Buying has-beens, flops and other useless trinkets for huge amounts of money. Though if Roberto Carlos goes to Chelsea, he will be the first good signing by Mourinho. Ferriera and Carvalho are normal signings for a EPL team. Essien is a good prospect for the future as is Diarra.
Man U should sell Tim Howard and Van Nistelrroy. This will help them tide over 1 more season. American Idiot Glazer wants profits not fame. I doubt Man U will be as strong as it is this year. Neville is ageing, Cris Ron is too much flair too little brains, Ferdinand is confused. No Ruud means good bye Man U.
Arsenal will be stronger this year with Henry a permanent fixture in the team
Cambell and Cole will form the defensive backbone unless Cole leaves. Diaby, Toure and Eboue will be better next season. That means Arsenal will be back to challenge the Premiership Trophy. Henry's decision to stay at Arsenal is good for English soccer and for Arsenal though he screwed his future. Joining Barcelona would have made him a better player and win him more trophies. Anyway if Cole and Henry stay, Arsenal will be stronger than this year.'
Chelsea will need to buy some new players to replace Gallas and Drogba. Without the two of them, Chelsea can forget to finish in the top three. My belief is that Chelsea should grab Andy Johnson away from Wigan for 10m and then buy Roberto Carlos and Ashely Cole. Among the other players to sell are SWP, Bridge and Crespo. SWP to some Cahmpionship club to teach him humility, Bridge to Fulham since he likes it there and Crespo to some mid-table Italian club so he cant thwart their European aspirations.
Liverpool need to buy a striker to replace the inept Morientes. Someone who can serve as a foil for Crouch. Maybe buy Ronaldo or Torres. They prob need to sell Cisse. Liverpool have a complete squad now that they prob will be getting Mark Gonzelez. I doubt Liverpool will be in the market to buy much though Dudek might leave.
Man U will need to buy a new striker. They might try to fight with Chelsea and Liverpool for strikers. They need a replacement for Neville and also a holding midfielder. They prob will buy Lyon's Diarra and some other midfielder.
Anyway, next season's EPL will be influenced by the WC. Hopefully not negatively.
