Top 4 Predictions 2014/15 Season

A new football season is here and the French Ligue 1 would be setting the pace with it’s resumption this weekend.  The traditional opener of the English Premiership which is tagged the Community Shield is also billed for this weekend and Arsenal would be taking on Manchester City at the Wembley stadium.  Clubs have been strengthening and some pretending to strengthen, we shall see how that pans out.  The transfer window closes by the end of August but I am glad I don’t have to wait that long to watch footy as the EPL officially kicks off mid-month (16th August, 2014) , no disrespect to other leagues.
My beloved Man Utd in my opinion have not strengthened reasonably well with only two additions made in Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw. Two good players no doubt but I am still not convinced, I am not even moved by the string of performances some of the Manchester United lads have put together. Yea Ashley Young should know that was a piss at him.
Could this be the year of the Arsenal? We shall see. Arsenal’s capture of Alexis Sanchez show they mean business after falling off as title contenders at the turn of the year last season. They have also acquired the services of French man Mathieu Debuchy and young Calum Chambers and it seems they are ready to stop splashing the cash. Chelsea are not left behind in the spending spree as they have captured ex-Gunner Cesc Fabregas, former Atletico Madrid striker and defender Diego Costa and Filipe Luis and they have also brought back Arsenal’s tormentor in chief, Didier Drogba letting promising striker Romelu Lukaku sign for Everton and refusing to renew the contract of their legend Frank Lampard. Lampard is back to haunt them though after signing a loan deal with Man City.  Liverpool have also been busy bringing in players after selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona.
I think the best deal so far has been Bayern Munich’s capture of Robert Lewandoski though it’s safe to Real Madrid has the strongest team on paper after bringing in Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich and James Rodriguez from Monaco. This two players were top performers for their countries Germany and Colombia respectively at the just concluded World Cup which held in Brazil. Add that to the fact that Real Madrid has the current best player in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo), Gareth Bale, Xabi Alonso, Isco, Illaramendi, Marcelo, should I go on? I figured. There are many other deals done and some deals are still in the offing, there are also rumours (Arturo Vidal signing for Man Utd) that have refused to go away.
I want to lay down my predictions along with predictions from a few friends and family. I would have loved to put a wager on this but there are good Christians amongst us, lol.
