1)Barcelona
- They have added some real quality to their squad this offseason, Thierry Henry topping that list, and the squad already had bags of talent. Last seasons disappointment was a wake up call for them and I feel this season they will come out all guns blazing especially considering Ronadlinho finally got his break. Best team in football on paper and on pitch from my perspective.

2)Chelsea
- Chelsea are stacked on paper no doubt about that. Most importantly they have kept their key players so far. I expect Ballack and Shevchenko to have improved seasons and that will deefinitely aid in the Chelsea cause. They will be right up there again challenging for trophies.

3)United/Bayern
Neither are as scary on paper as the other two up top but still have bags of quality on their side. The good thing in football is that at any given time only 11 players maximum are allowed on the pitch so while Chelsea and Barca may be deeper in number of quality player, when it comes to starting 11s both these teams are right up their with them.
