I think he will do well at Everton if he's backed by the owners
Contract means very little really, gives a bit more stability I guess. Pressure is on him now to win something, Sancho signed and Varane will be announced in next few days. 2 huge signings, he has to win something now.
Just wondering Lads
Who will win PL
Who will finish in top 4
Who will be relegated
I think Man City will win it again, with or without Kane
I think it’s between Man Utd or Chelsea for second, I kinda think Utd 2nd , Chelsea 3rd , personally I’m disappointed with LFC spending, if we finish 4th or higher , I think that Klopp would move into a different class as a manager or motivator, massive expectations for Harvey Elliott, I hope he can live up to that
So I think it’s between LFC , Leicester and Spurs for 4th , and I hope that Liverpool can end up in 4th , but not over confident , and I don’t see Arsenal breaking into top 4 , but they will improve
Relegation will be interesting, I think the 3 promoted teams will probably go back down , but I would worry for Crystal Palace , I’m not convinced Viera , has what it takes to be successful
I had contacted The Savannah about deleting my account, she is a very persuasive and intelligent lady, so I will stay to fly LFC flag

Ah Jaysus Ryan don't be doin that ! You're opinion on sporting matters is always appreciated here.
Now as for the top 4 ? Christ that's a good question. Money doesn't always buy success or happiness but it definitely helps !
I'll go for 3 blues at the top, Chelsea, City and Leicester.
Fourth spot a dog fight between the 2 Reds.
In all honesty I haven't a clue but I would love to see the foxes getting a CL place this year as they have been pipped at the post 2 years running. I do like the underdog !
Are we there yet ?

Don't care who comes 2nd, 3rd or fourth as long as Man Utd are top 🤣🤣
Liverpool will definitely finish top 4 and I think will be right up their challenging. They have improved their defence. They have a great midfield Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson are up with the best as a midfield, they need more from the likes of Keita and some younger players to step up. If Mane can rediscover his form, Mane, Jota, Salah and Firmino is a great attack!
It will be 3 way battle for league between City, Pool and Chelsea I think. United will be up their for most of the season but will fall away towards the end unfortunately.
Palace will be interesting, not sure how good a manager Viera is. They have made some good signings and if they can bed in quickly they will be fine.
Not sure who will go down but I think Brighton will be fine, play good football just need to score more.

More hopeful than the last few years, I think an upgrade on Mcfred is needed in midfield and pogba needs to perform consistently - if he stays and looking like he will.
But Citeh and chelski have strengthed and Liverpool are keeping quiet so it's going to be tough..
I do like Everton, don't know why really - maybe it's just that they've been overshadowed by their Anfield neighbours for so long. I would like to see them doing well this season. Top half finish but doubtful if they'll be playing in Europ next year. They did start good last year so if the fans can get behind Rafa then who knows ?
As for The Saints ? They are a team never really on my radar but they have had a long run in the top flight. I honestly don't know how they will be without Ings. Like most South coast teams I really don't pay much attention to them .
Are we there yet ?
