Sounds like United are going to pass on Hazard, Sneijder is too expensive, etc. I'm curious to see who United picks up this summer. Guaranteed there will be big changes...

I never doubt United in picking talent - look at Ronaldo, Vidic, Evra, etc. There have been a couple of stinkers (I'm looking at you, Kleberson), but mostly they do well. The ones I really wanted United to pick up over the last couple of years were Aguero and Sneijder. I was shocked no one had scooped Aguero until so recently. He was a terror in La Liga.

I also can't wait to see what goes down in the off season. The landscape is definitely changing, and everybody needs to make some moves to keep up. I think next year there going to be at least 5 or 6 or more serious contenders. No doubt the EPL is the most complete league in the world right now.

I'm excited for podolski, but we're gonna need a lot more than that. Especially if we lose MvP.

First we gotta win this weekend. And Don't worry chris, I'm back to hoping that city gets killed this time!

Abo Maddie i don't know about Sneijder anymore for manutd.. maybe i'm just not seeing Nani/Valencia/Sneijder work but basically i can't see him being the Pirlo of Juventus this season

*which btw HUUUGE CONGRATS TO JUVENTUS for winning Serie A.. man i wish they win their final match and complete the season unbeaten!*

EXTREMELY excited for West Ham
they will play either Blackpool or Birmingham to make it back to the PL.. missed them sorely

edit: the summer market this year is gonna be off the hook what with the Euro 2012 and all!!

I'm really happy for WestHam too. One of my ex-employees is a huge fan, and I was texting him all day about it. I hope they make it, I think they deserve to blow bubbles all the way back to the PL.

Also happy for Juve. They proved you can take your medicine and still come out on top. My neighbor (who Chris met a while back) is a HUGE Juve fan, so I'm sympathetic to them too.

I like Juve most of all Italian teams as well. They went down hard during the scandal but have slowly built themselves up from the roots. No stupid purchases for more money than they can afford but long term thinking and hard honest work has brought them back to the top. I really hope Juve has another great era in front of them now. We need another Italian team that can challenge the rest of Europe. And this is coming from a half german Bundesliga fan

I agree. Plus when he wouldn't move at 35 million Euros, there was no chance we were going to buy him. I'm not even convinced there's a place for Nani with the way Valencia is playing. If we could sell/swap Nani for another world-class winger, we'd be looking great. United is most dangerous from the wings and on the counter...

Same here. I've always liked the Hammers. Plus watching "Green Street Hooligans" always fires me up!

I appreciate Juve's amazing climb back, but I'll always be an Inter man, thanks to the "fat" Ronaldo.

Fergie out? After a trophyless season you gotta start asking questions.

Giggs needs to do some serious cheating this off season to get his mojo back.....do we know if he has more than 1 brother?

I would also sell off the ginger prince, his time has long since passed.

The odds of making it to CL next year are definitely more in your favor by concentrating on winning that.
