My prediction for the coming season then.
1. Man United
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Arsenal
5. Spurs
6. Leicester
7. Liverpool
-----------------
18. Watford
19. Burnley
20. Hull
This is going to be a really close season at the top I think, it will go right to the wire between the top two but United will juts nick it as I think Mourinho has a slight advantage with fact that he has managed here before and he loves England, the team that Pep is putting together at City looks pretty formidable though and they will be very tough to beat, Chelsea will be right up there to with less games meaning fresher players this season, their objective should be to qualify for the Champions league and they should do that comfortably, the last CL place is difficult for me, Arsenal have got some problems, most of which are the same ones they have had for the last few years and now they have something of an injury crisis on their hands, but they always seem to get fourth, no matter what!, and I think they will just scrape it ahead of Spurs, Liverpool look better but don't look like contenders for the CL places just yet, Leicester can fight for them but it will be interesting to see how they juggle the league and Europe.
As for the bottom, Hull are in some disarray with the club up for sale and Bruce leaving a few weeks ago, they only have something like 11 first team players and although they are good players with Huddlestone, Livermore, Hernandez and Robertson, I just cant see them surviving, same with Burnley, thee last time they were in the PL they went down because they lacked quality, and they still do, Watford go through a lot of managers and there has to be a price to pay for that, and that will happen this season.
My other team Swansea will finish somewhere between 10th-15th and Norwich, Derby and Newcastle will get promoted, in any order...

I'm not going to predict the whole table because for many it's going to be really wild, I will predict 3 things though.
1. Man United will win the title, they bought this one the amount of money spent on some of the worlds best players is basically giving them this.
2. Leicester will Stay in the top 4, They still have the key Attack they had last year that was soo dangerous for such a large period of the season, I don't see a logical reason why they won't be near the top as I don't think the 'they lack money'' will cut it.
3. Arsenal will not make the top 4, They have money but refuse to spend it are in desperate need of a world class attacker to Make the most of Ozil, Arsenal just won't pull out the cheque book to sign them though, best case Scenario is if they do get Lazazette but I don't think it's enough.

Lacazette is injured at the moment so it slims down the chance of signing him but still doesn't eliminate it but attention faces towards Icardi who failed to move to Napoli and loads of reports that Arsenal and their representatives have been in close contact. In my opinion Arsenal should go for a double swoop in getting Nabil Fekir as well as getting Lacazette.
Andre Ayew signs for West Ham for £20m. Sorry, @MUSC4EVER.
Vermaelen signs for Roma on a one year loan with a £10m option to buy.
Jesé Rodriguez signs for PSG.
Frank De Boer is now Inter Milan manager.
Reports of AC Milan will begin their spending spree with €300m in the kitty.

Eh Ayew to West Ham has been on the cards for about a week now, we signed him on a free last summer, had a really good season for us and now sold him for £20 million, good business, we have been linked with Borja Baston to replace him, someone who I have genuinely never heard of.

I remember many United fans claiming the likes of City and Chelsea are ruining football by buying the league and spending insane amounts of money on players.....

Just looked at my usual gossip http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip and saw a link for http://www.squawka.com/news/revealed-the-190m-cost-of-manchester-uniteds-deal-for-paul-pogba/742867 halfway down the gossip.
Like to know what the actual price is.
Still think the deal being a good one but its a hefty price to pay?

BBC Sport - John Stones: Manchester City sign Everton defender for £47.5m http://bbc.in/2b550SR
This was after sky sports news reported that City had put in there team for UEFA champions league with stones name on it, (While still being a Everton player?)
guess thats why City had to make it public news that City had then signed him?

Yes and they had the cheek to put an offer in for Swansea,s Ashley Williams of £10 million. 👎
Looks like they want that cake and eat it as well.
And then there,s the silly price tag they have put on Romelu Lukaku 
Poor Chelsea going to have to pay over the odds to land him?
