this isn't going to turn into a soccer blog but I just wanted to publish some things so that when they eventually happen I'll be able to say I told you so (ahhh the guiltiest of pleasures)
1. Arsenal will take the Prem. this year
- I know I think this every year and they never fail to disappoint, but I think the squad will finally come together with the reinforced back-line and hopefully a new keeper in the next week
2. Most Valuable Player
Joe Cole - I think he finds his groove again at Liverpool who make a run at the top four that they wouldn't be able to do without him. This might be the best pickup of any team this season, the Reds seemed to be falling apart at the seams all last year, Cole will stitch them up for the time being
3. Most Improved Player
Frazier Campbell - Clear path at Sunderland now that Jones is gone, former Man U youth player will develop this season into one of the league's top strikers, has all the talent and now the opportunity
4. Worst Transfer
Who will be this year's Roque Santa Cruz? Ramires, the Brazilian soon-to-be Chelsea midfielder. He has loads of talent and could turn an average team into a great team, but I see him getting rocked off the boat with a full midfield and any hope for a new face to shine through falling solely to Yossi Benayoun, who is immeasurably better in tight spaces. He'll soak up the light and send Ramires to Spain by next season.
5. Best Transfer
Laurent Koscielny - Maybe this is my foolhardy Arsenal optimism but he looks like the missing link at the back. If he has even half the impact that his counterpart Vermaelen did last year, he will turn the ship around for the Gunners.
