where is ManU ?

sorry, i almost forgot you are a city fan

ManU needs to sign some semblance of a midfield to win anything in Europe IMHO.

Or find the fountain of youth and have Scholes drink like a litre from it.

I love how they couldn't be assed to offer money for Neuer or Özil when they had the chance.
Hell, even Khedira would start there until the end of times. In fact Khedira is probably a perfect PL player.

Khedira is awesome. He has his weaknesses but he'll fight for you and tactically speaking he is elite imo.

Tactically most aware midfielder I know. Plays every role. That's why Mou loves him, and Löw loves him as well. Does what he need to.

And TBH if he could finish for shit, everyone would love him. His runs into the box are already occasionally timed excellently, if he finished properly, he'd be a faster Ballack.

I am worried that Man U will raid us for Cabaye

Give him to us :I'munoriginal:

Manchester United are a team to watch out for next season in cpl, if they sign a midfielder say for example a very good midfielder someone like Sneijder in his prime, then they are strong contenders.

Modric is not good enough by himself, they need someone like Sneijder or Modric and another midfielder to support him, say for example someone like Marouane Fellaini.

I am worried about them.

Also, City would have learn alot from their mistake and any team should worry about them, I hope Dortmund finally show up, they have a good coach but I dont understand why they failed so badly last season perhaps this season Lewandowski will have to carry them along like he always does.

Juventus are just bad-ass, they will be a real treat and will even become more deadly if they sign a real striker say for example someone like Higuain or Hunter.

Team to watch out for next season...


Barca
Bayern
United
Real-Madrid
Milan
Juventus
Arsenal
City

Don't forget Dortmund. Third time's the charm

Translation: "Next season we'll be back in the Champion's League, too..."
- "Do we have to?"

How ambitious do you think Dortmund will be in next years CL?

1 of this 3 teams will get to final


Bayern
Real-Madrid
Barcelona

They don't have to, they are just obsess with defeating Bayern

What pot will Dortmund, Juventus, and City be in?

I hate to say, but Juventus will be there. They are a team of bulldogs, If we don't buy some new good defenders, we are in trouble.

Wait a sec, it's actually possible this next CL season to have a CL group which contains the champions of the top 4 leagues in Europe.

I am surprised no one has yet mentioned PSG, MALAGA and ANZHI Makhachkala

PSG is already a good team, need a few more world class additions and with the money they have they gon b busy

MALAGA same story

ANZHI same story, but currently the weaker of the 3 and may or may not qualify for CL next season, but they are coming baby, trust me
