Sagna, Squillaci, Koscielny, Coquelin, Diaby, Giroud.
And Squillaci and Diaby don't reallllllllllllllly count. Not that many French players
Jenkinson, Gibbs, Frimpong, Wilshere, Chamberlain, Walcott. We also have English ones!

Interesting that you say 3rd place will be harder to achieve. With both Chelsea and Arsenal improving significantly, I can see Manchester United in particular struggle to keep up, never mind hold onto 2nd.Sigurdsson wrote:If Arsenal keep hold of Van Persie (and he doesn't get injured) I can see them snapping at the heels of the Manchester Clubs all season, now that they've signed Podolski and Giroud. The sad thing is, whilst they've finally done well (touch wood that they won't sell Van Persie, Walcott etc) in the market, so have Chelsea, with their signings of Marin, Hazard and potentially, Hulk. Which means 3rd place is going to be even tougher to achieve next season.
Arsenal's squad looks immensely stronger now, though. Would be magnificent if they brought in yet another starter.

Of course it all comes down to signings. As it stands it looks like Chelsea and Arsenal and making up ground on the two Manchester clubs. I'm assuming City will make a high-profile purchase or two, of course UTD could as well, but if they don't, there's only so much team spirit can do. Obviously I'll wait until after the transfer window to make any concrete predictions. Utd could end up with 4th, they could win the league.Kuled wrote:What makes you think we'll struggle?

The thought of struggling hasn't even crossed my mind.

Whos the other signing?
To be fair, Koscielny didn't have a great first season either. Gervinho could perform as well as he did for Lille, next season. If not, then at least we have Lukas and Olivier now.Theo Filippo wrote:Gervinho is shit and Chamberlain won't start yet.

As much as I wrote off Koscielny in the 10/11 season, he still had some very good games like against Barcelona, Gervinho has been average in nearly every game he has played.iCapo wrote:To be fair, Koscielny didn't have a great first season either.
