Even if we do get Telles and Sancho we are still short of a agile CB and probably would be the difference where we finish this season.

Chelsea/ Arsenal - you don't know what type of performance you will get every time. Mourinho's teams usually do well in his 2nd season but he is still short of a few players I guess. Then there are other teams outside the top 6 who could present a problem.

We are probably once again in a fight to finish in the top 4 against 4-5 other teams this season but we need to be consistent throughout the season to have any chance.

Where do you guys honestly think we would finish?

We’ve got Bailly who, if fit, is one of the best cbs in the league. Maguire isn’t that bad, we couldn’t of been that bad in defence if we got one of the highest clean sheets this year. We’ve got Mengi and Tuanzebe aswell. If anything, I think we need a cdm more as we saw how important Matic was to our play. Liverpool are miles ahead and even if we did get a cb and winger, they’d be well ahead. Our aim should be 2nd at least however and I feel a winger and lb could put us with a chan e as everyone looks messy.

I like the look of Everton so far. Seem the most dangerous of the best of the rest. I think we finish 4th or 5th.

{Ed025's Note - everton are doing ok mort, but like other teams a couple of injuries to key players can change things, we dont have the quality cover that the likes of city and liverpool have...but who does mate..

Agree Ed and Mort, Everton's first X1 looks strong.
Very good mix of experience and youth.
Excellent recruitment so far.

Definitely dark horses. Good shout for a cup i think. Going to be a strange season.

TRUMOURS it's true we have Bailly, Tuanzebe, Mengi for cover but how reliable are they? Both Bailly and Tuanzebe are injury prone and Mengi is still young and inexperienced at this level. Any injury to our first choice CB's and we will be in big trouble. We need someone more reliable with pace and power and experienced if possible.

As far as CDM, we have got cover in the form of Fred and McTominay who are not injury prone and available to provide cover to Matic if needed. I know they are not at the same level and ideally if we could sign a true CDM it would be a bonus.

We are looking at a long season ahead. Just hoping to get some quality signings before the transfer window closes.
