No... They went from 7th to 2nd with good management.. yet suddenly even scouse fans seem to think we have to spend the 100's of millions that they didn't need to....

2-3 players and we'll contend with anyone.. City have spent 100's of millions but despite Chelsea's wealth I think this squad is pretty weak...
Fair enough shout on Liverpool, I wouldn't have predicted they'd have ended up where they did.

But look at these midfields:

Chelsea - Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle, Matic, Willian, Salah, Mikel, Ramires, Lampard

Arsenal - Wilshire, Ozil, Ramsey, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini, Carzola, Arteta, Diaby, Rosicky

Man City - Toure (happy birthday!), Nasri, Fernandinho, Silva, Navas, Garcia, Milner, Rodwell, Barry

Obviously not all these players will still be there at the start of next season, but still. Can United really compete with that lot? I don't think you've got anything like enough weight in midfield.
