How are you expecting your club to do next season?

Taking in mind the transfers and potential transfers, the pre season in terms of fitness and all the other factors.

How do you think your club will do next season and what are your expectations?

Arsenal

Right now with our 4 transfers, I am quite content. We did really well in the premier league last season and only lost out with 7 points because of many factors which hopefully are avoided.

If we do manage to sign a midfielder as well then I would genuinely expect Arsenal to challenge for the PL and all the other cup competitions. CL has been a bit poor for us recently with us going out of R16 in each of our last 3 years. So I hope we progress further otherwise we are out of pot 1 in place of some scrub team in the EL.

So this is what I am expecting or hopeful for

Premier League: Top 2
Champions League: Semi Final
FA Cup: Win
CoC: Not bothered.

Other teams I care about but obviously don't support like I support Arsenal

Roma

Serie A: Win
Champions League: R16 would be decent start for Roma in their first CL in years
Coppa Italia: Would be difficult because of too many extra games for Roma so Quarter Final

Inter Milan

Serie A: 3rd. Liking Inter's signings so far and hopefully they do well this season.
Europa League: Semi Final
Coppa Italia: Win. Mazzari is good at cups so why not


Lyon

Ligue 1: Lyon have a decent to poor team with some good young talented players so it's going to be unpredictable. I am hopeful for a top 8 finish though.
Europa League: R16
French Cup: Quarter Final
2nd French Cup: Semi Final

Milan

Pippo is still a question mark at the highest level, despite his good stint as the Primavera coach. He'll be put to the test on day 1 with Lazio. Though the management seem like they will give him support, its still a bit early to tell where Milan might end up on the table. We still haven't answered our LB problem, with Vrsaljko moving to Sassuolo and Criscito staying put at Zenit (Ansaldi leaving will make Zenit tighten their grip on him more). We still need another winger, preferably someone (Not Nani) who plays on the right. Other than that, i'd like to see Pippo vesting his faith on youngsters, like Dost said. Even if we do complete much of these signings, i still don't think we'd be up to par with the top 3.

Serie A: Anywhere from 4th to 10th
Coppa Italia: R16

Narrowly avoid relegation.

For Roma, our priority is the scudetto. This is our best chance in years to win it so we're going to focus on that. This will likely to be the detriment of the CL campaign, but I think we have enough about us to at least get out of the group stage. I think that's as far as we'll go this year though.

As for the Coppa, I that's honestly more realistic as the games are spread out a bit more. There's obviously going to still be some traffic jams, but as this is domestic cup and Roma still sit near the top of it, I think we'll give a good account of ourselves in it, as we always do.

The key for us is to stay healthy. I really shake my head when I think about what we could've done had Totti and Gervinho not been injured, had Destro not been out half the season... and not to mention Strootman later on as well. Keep players of that caliber healthy (Iturbe as well now) and we always have a chance on all 3 fronts.

same as last season.

Given the amount of competition I think another top six finish would be good for Sevilla, though I reckon Sevilla could have a good push at that fourth spot this season. Athletic, Socieded and Sevilla are pretty much on the same level squad wise (and they all lost their best player). Not entirely sure about Valencia right now since their manager is a bit of an unknown quantity.

Saying that, a lot will depend on Emery making a quick decision on how he wants to set the team up now that he can no longer build around Rakitic. 4-4-2 has been the formation most used in pre-season so far, which I have a lot of reservations about but probably best suits the squad right now with Bacca, Gameiro and Aspas all at the club. Still have my fingers crossed he'll use 4-2-3-1.

I hope for another deep run in the Europa League, too.

OM... 3rd is the goal imo. Monaco and PSG are too talented and Bielsa will take a year to get everyone into shape physically and tactically. About 15 mil of wages is coming off the books this year so there should be a lot of money available for transfers next summer.

If we get Reus

League: Winner
CL: Semis
FA Cup/COC: Win 1 of them

Since we're not getting Reus

League: Top 4
CL: Round 16 OR Get 3rd Win EL
FA Cup/COC: Win 1 of them.

We'll win the Bundesliga easily. Especially with Lewa coming in and not only improving us but screwing up our nearest title challengers.


We'll win la liga easily. Especially with Rodriguez and Kroos coming in and not only improving us but Chelsea have weakened our rivals significantly.

We'll win Ligue 1 easily. Especially as we're the only good team in it.

We'll most definitely win the Premier league with our Chelsea / Atletico hybrid team. Not to mention the best midfielder in the World feeding the best pure 9 in the World

We'll probably win Serie A even with a new coach imo.

The SPL is ours, Forza celtic.

The SPFL is ours too. Forza Rangers.

top 3 and a deep FA Cup run

IF we got Vidal, Cuadrado and a couple of improvements at CB..which would be a perfect window..then compete for the title.

so far we have added good to our squad. Before this season we needed another midfielder, another forward and possibly a goalkeeper (but not necessity). We bought Kroos for a decent price which covered our midfield issue of being too thin. We bought (although not official yet) Navas for a good price to eventually replace Iker next season. We are rumoured to get Falcao on a season long loan which would give us many options up front. Then it's the yearly galactico signing this time his name is James Rodriguez(next summer it will be future BPL goat Jovetic stay safe nasir ) but we covered everyhing we needed to cover before signing this guy. As it looks not Khedira is on the verge of signing a new contract and PSG are no closer to stumping up the cash for DiMaria. So going into next season we will have enough depth to challenge on all fronts. So provided we keep Khedira and DiMaria but expectations are:

LaLiga: Win or neck and neck with whoever wins it getting more than 90 points
Copa: Win
CL: Final, possibly win but won't be too gutted as long as we fought hard
Supercup: Win
Supercopa: Win
Club world cup: Win

St. Pauli
Narrowly miss promotion.

Eintracht Frankfurt
Narrowly avoid demotion.

Tom

LaLiga: Win
Copa: athetico get it
CL: win
Supercup: Win
Supercopa: win
Club world cup: Win

If Di Maria stays, anything but treble should be considered a failure. If he leaves, 2 of CL/League/Cup, at least SF in CL.

Everyone's optimism about their respective clubs just makes this worse  

I'm predicting a similar season to last, right down to Pippo getting the sack in January. An uncharacteristically decent end of transfer window might change that though.

Overall:

Serie A: 7th
Coppa Italia: Quarter Finals

I would wait until Liverpool signs an attacker( Preferably a striker who can play a poverty Suarez role ) and at least one full back before thinking about this season.

Not everyone

Can't see us winning the CL. We just won't be as motivated as last year.

Copa del Rey, wouldn't be surprised if we got to the final. Don't really care if we win it or not though.

La Liga is what I'm hoping we win. We've won it like once in the past 6 years.

Should win 2/3 of the European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Cup.

We should walk the league and win the cup. Depending on who we get I hope we make it past the group stage.. more than that would be a huge bonus.

I hope RWO will manage to gain promotion to the third division after this season! (For that we need to win the Regionalliga West *plus* survive a two-legged relegation play-off afterwards.)

On that note, I hope Southend United can obtain automatic promotion to League 1 this season and not go out in the bloody play-offs for the third time in a row, thereby justifying hiring Phil Brown as manager.

i hope psg can win ligue 1 again. wont be easy with all those top teams like monaco, lille, marseille, rennes, lyon etc... but fingers crossed they can do it.
