City with Hughes, could do anything, I suspect they'll do a spurs of last season tho.
Pompey, Everton, Villa, all top 10 for sure.

United, yeh agree didn't need to buy anything urgently, we do need a striker, or a work permit for Manucho (Who I really rate, team of the tournament for African Nations). Just looked on BBC news apparently we've had a bid for Silva rejected, I really don't understand this, we don't need another Attacking midfielder or Secondry Striker, or a "flair player" we've got enough of them Nani Cronaldo Tevez Rooney Scholes (for another 6-12 months atleast) can all create things.

3 players I'm looking out for this season from United. Rafael da Silva, right back 18, looks really tasty. Possebon comes from the same youth team that produced Alexandre Pato, the awesome prospect AC Milan have, long term inheritor of Carricks position and even another midfielder for a 4-3-3. Frazier Campbell, I'm optimistic mainly because I want him to do well, haven't had a striker come out of our youth system since Mark Hughes, looked sharp against Pompey at the weekend in the 15 minutes he got, looked pleased to get his hands on the Charity Shield, clearly driven to remain at the club.
