I really think this would have been arsenal's best chance of winning it. It really depends if they are willing to bring in a new center back, bring in some experience and some a few quality players rather than an army of average 18 year olds. Flamini has left, hleb might follow and im not sure about adebayor either. We will wait and see but unless they spend big i am counting them out
As for Chelsea, i think they have a good squad but again a lot of players are unsettled and may leave. Drogba and lampard are the main ones. For them Drogba is their best player. They can play crap but then they pass to drogba and the whole game will change. Lampard may not be a big loss because ballack is on fire atm. He is doing everything right, he can pass, position himself well, has a good shot and can head the ball. Lampard has more influence on the team though and ballack doesnt have that imo.
They are improving their defence and i think its going to be pretty solid next season. They have plenty of midfield players but very few effective wingers. If they can keep malouda, SWP and cole fit then they will be fine in that position.
IMO they just need 1 or 2 stikers and the squad is complete. Doesnt have the same ballance and versatility as united but chelsea have great depth.
as for liverpool, i dont think so. They have spend more than us in the last 5 teams but all they have managed to do is buy the whole Spain B team and torres. They would have to spend big if they even want to fight for 3rd let alone the title.
I think its going to be a 2 horse race between united and chelsea with liverpool and arsenal as good pretenders.
I think united just need to buy one or two strikers depending on how campbell and manucho do and we would have a squad that can win the title with a pretty decent margin.
