Crouch needs to be playing at mid table team such as Spurs or Villa, he needs to be a regular starter especially in a World Cup year....my guess is it'll be Spurs.

The probelem Liverpool have in the striking department is that we need a proven goal scorer but we have to convince him to be happy playing second fiddle to torres. Voronin scored a load in Germany and has shown desire to make his mark here..I think if he stays he'll certainly be valuable but the question remains, if Torres gets injured is Voronin the main to score us the goals to win us a premier league? No

I've heard the Alonso saga is on an absolute knife edge, he's pissed off that Rafa has given Torres, Gerrard, Dirk and Carra new contracts but not him. He sees it as a direct insult especially considering Torres had 4 years left on his old one. The interesting thing is that Rafa seems prepared to take a chance and not sell him for anything less than £35 million, he's apparently bullish that Real will not bully him into selling for cheaper. If Alonso stays and we will the league, all will be patched up, he'll get a new contract etc etc. If we fall flat on our faces and Alonso has a poor season he'll probably go for a lot less than the current Real offer.

To win it;

Utd 15/8
Chelsea 2/1
Liverpool 7/2
Arsenal 8/1
City 10/1


Very close betting this year, but I'll stick my neck out and say if Utd don't add to their squad it'll be Liverpool, Chelsea, Utd.
