PL Opposition Tidbits

I think both Leeds and Sunderland might have a chance this season given the uncertainty with Brentford and potentially West Ham.

I think west ham will be fine. Brentford are a concern, I agree.

Sunderland won't have a team for a month as half of their squad (roughly 90% of their signings) Will be off to AFCON

West Ham were terrible last season and have just sold Kudus. Soucek is rumored off to Everton. A few others out of contract.
Poor manager and will need to get their signings right.
They’re in serious danger of being in a relegation fight.

I don’t think that month matters to much for Sunderland. Leeds have the best chance though, by far.

Everton, the fucking cockroaches, will somehow survive again.

Depends whether Potter manages to get a system working.

I think the 3 promoted teams will struggle, don’t really have the firepower to hurt Premier league teams.

Wolves could be an issue - decent manager, but they’ve lost couple of important players and as mentioned, Brentford look like they’re getting gutted - let’s see if their stats approach saves them.

I wouldn’t be sur0rised to see Forest, Fulham & Palace not perform to last seasons standards

I reckon Everton might even push for top half with Gollum back.

Yeah if everton continue next season the way they ended the last one they might even be quite good. 31 points from 19 games under Moyes, which you don't have to be a maths genius to work out would put them in the running for a European place over a season.

Well that's ruined my Sunday lunch.

Just seen that Spurs are looking to get Joao Paihinha for £26m from Bayern. Didn’t they pay about £60m last summer?

Something like that, yeah. Always seemed like an overpay to me and from what I understand he didn't exactly disprove that last season.
