Without Ferguson I doubt he returns to Man.U.

What Willy said. His loyalty to Man Utd stemmed because of Sir Alex. If anything he probably wont be keen on anywhere other than Real at the moment. If the reports were true he had a falling out with Mourinho then he probs wont come to Chelsea. City probs would offer him prem football at big wages but i can't see him doing that to Man Utd and i dont think he would want the hassle from the fans either, i think he is another like Mourinho who likes to be loved. Then i also think he is to young to play in France too.

But i am 90% sure he will be at Real next season, i don't see him going anywhere else, not yet anyway

RM 95%, 5% PSG. Monaco isn't in the CL. Man. U no Ferguson, Arsenal 'not good enough', Chelsea Mou, M.City rivalry.
Italy isn't the place to be right now. Germany, I don't think Munich needs him. So it's pretty much decided already... no choice. Come to Barcelona! HA! Neymar CR7 Messi, game over, give the CL instantly :D

Barca;
Neymar - Torres - Messi

vs

Real;
Ronaldo - Cavani - Bale

lol xD

Too bad that doesn't make you win CLs :D
Real needs a midfield (and a right back, Carvajal will be enough for CL?), Barça needs a defense. If they don't recruit these positions, it's all for nothing...
I would love Real to have this trio because I'm sure Cavani/Bale wouldn't touch a ball Perfect for us!

I think Reals midfield is pretty fine, but they need a RB and if Coentrao goes that leaves justs Marcelo. Ramos and Varane is fine for CB for LaLiga.
But yeah if Barca bring in 1 or 2 CBs then they pretty much win the league again i think, cant see them being beat if they have 2 decent CBs playing

Xabi is getting old, and Ozil/Khedira never convinced me in the top level games... Khedira improved a lot, but Ozil seems to disappear in the big games... Anyway I feel like Real's problem the last years was the lack of gameplan, something Mourinho never cares to implement... With the amount of players that can pass the ball so good, they should be able to do something better than just counter attack, which they did even against lesser teams... I'm not sure Ancelotti is the kind of coach for this 'revolution', but he should be a bit better than Mou for this...
His style is something like 4-3-2-1.
They could have:

Khedira - Alonso - Modric
Ozil - Ronaldo
Cavani

Lol i think Ancelotti coaching style suits LaLiga alot, the laid back, friendly with the players kind of approach. He will just get them to play football, keep the ball and not be silly at the back.
We will see i guess, i am excited for next season though! Think the champs league will be so good this season.

Barca - will bounce back trying to regain their no1 place
Real - semi final 3 times in a row, will only get better
Bayern - looking good, winners the last year and no reason with the people they bought in they cant do it again
Chelsea - Mourinho back, the players are getting older (the younger ones) more xp
Man City - Pellegrini got an average looking Malaga side to the quarter final, should do better with Man City
Arsenal - If they bring in what they say they are player wise, should be fun times for Wenger this time
Man Utd - Unknown quantity but no reason why they couldn't get to a semi final
Dortmund - If they replace the out going Lewandowski and Gotze with some good 2-3 players no reason they can't compete
PSG - Maybe have a chance if they add a few more players. Get a coach in with good success
Napoli - Could be good outsiders if Benitez gets a squad he likes, he is good at setting up defensive counter attacking teams (Liverpool 2005) Will have money with Cavani sale as well
Juventus - The Italian prince will want a better showing than last year, did only go out to the winners though

Exciting :D
No reason none of the teams i just mentioned can't win it

The interest is more in the "What's going to happen to my club?"
Chelsea with Mou, ManU without Fergie, MCity with Pellegrini, Arsenal with promises, PSG without coach, Monaco with money, players and still not sure if they're going to be allowed to play with the current fiscal laws, Real with another coach, Barca with Neymar and Tito, Bayern with Pep and Dortmund with the loss of at least 2 of their best players...
The only 'stable' teams here is Juventus. I'm calling it now, mark my words: Juventus next CL winner.

I rate Napoli better chances than Juventus at this current moment due to Rafa. Rafa owns Europe with his boring defensive counter attack crap he portrays with his teams when he gets to build them. And he will be able to build one with the money he is getting.

And of course i want Chelsea to do better than everyone else and will focus more on them. But what i said about other teams is true!

Nah come on Juventus has a lot more quality in their squad. Napoli is going to lose Cavani, how are they going to attract a player of this level in this team? Except for Torres but he's not that good anymore
Benitez is good but Juventus still has a good margin over the 2nd team in Italy. This year they tried to do good in the CL and despite of that, still managed to finish 1st pretty easily.
They have an impressive defensive trio, a very good midfield, and what they lacked in offensive power, they will buy it this summer (+ Llorente).

Barça is not signing Torres afaik.

Why would we sell Villa and sign Torres lol, makes no sense. I mean Rossell and Zubi are bad at their jobs, but THIS bad?

Too bad they have 6 strikers and not one worth a damn :D

Villa had his time, now it's over. Sell him to get money, if we don't, next year he's leaving for free. Plus, in his contract there's a clause saying that in his last year, he will have a higher salary.
Of course I also prefer Villa, but at some point you have to balance the finance part...
Torres wouldn't be expensive; if we have to pay more than 20M, I think it's a mistake. But around this price, I think it's a good deal and it would give us a solution for when we face a bus in defense. As for now, we have no n°9 in the squad, and nobody to be at the reception of crosses. Dongou in Barça B is this kind of striker but he's too young and it's only his first year in segunda...

Im looking for Llorente this year in Juventus. This year he hasn't played because he had problems with Bielsa. But He was a Beast at Athletic the previous years.

I hope he has kept his play level despite this year without playing.

How did Pandemona get banned? lol

And I totally agree on the Juventus thing. Juve had bad luck this year by encountering Bayern "so early". Otherwise I could have seen them go far too.

Every team looked bad vs Bayern lol

Pandemona said something in the Maddelisk and CocaCola thread Anyway so many storylines in this season's EPL; Mourinho's return, the season after SAF's retirement, Wenger spending the money, the always underrated Pellegrini challenging for his first major title. Can't wait
