Will they be sold and who do you think will buy the team?

It would be nice if a group of former players like Terry Porter and Clyde Drexler would do it.  I know Porter has been in the news as an option.  It would be nice if Phil Knight of Nike would put his support behind a pro team instead of exclusivly supporting the University of Oregon, it's not like he couldn't afford to do both.

i think next season willbe the tightest for many years. as we all know chelsea can go out and buy whoever they want  and they will be the team to beat, especially if they do land Michael Ballack.  They need to land a top class striker as crespo and drogba are not cut out for the premiership.\nman united need to get  replacement for roy keane and also need to get the van nilsterooy situation sorted.  if they can buy someone who will strengthen the midfield and have a better combination up front with rooney then they will be hard to stop.  i don't know if they will sell van nilsterooy or just get him more settled.\nliverpool have improved a lot this season. getting over 70points in the premiership has been a long way off recently but this season rafa has the team playing well. if it had not been for that non scoring spell at the start of the season we would be up there now chasing chelsea and united.  obviously the defence is fantastic, it would be even better if we could find someone to take traore.  we need a winger, but then mark gonazalez has been doing fantastic in spain this season so hopefully his visa will be cleared this year.  and of course we need a prolific striker. fowler should stay but his days of scoring 25 goals a season are gone.  we need someone young and who has proven their talent already. darren bent maybe, or andy johnson if palace aren't promoted. \narsenal's young players really came to fruition in the second half of the season and they will have to dratically improve their away form next season if they are going to be up theree. if they manage ot hold on to henry then they will still need to bolster their midfield, especially as it appears pires is leaving. if henry leaves however, they will have a large sum of money to improve the squad. note i didn't say replace him, because a player of his skill and importance will never be replaced.\nso for next season it will be a close run thing. liverpool improved this year in having less stupid results against the minnows butin games against chelsea they suffered. that is the stumbling block for all the big teams, taking points off eachother but then taking nothing off chelsea. \nso to conclude........i think next season will depend on liverpool getting a top class striker. if they do then i think they will be the strongest contender to chelsea's title. bnt i expect chelsea to buy the title again.

Real Madrid are a sinking ship. They will soon sell / retire a number of their star players. The five year 'Galacticos' experiement has failed miserably at Real Madrid, and the club cannot afford to keep paying those outrageous transfer fees and salaries if there are no trophies coming in to help defray the cost.\nThierry Henry will stay at Arsenal for the next few years.

Definitely.He was bought for a relatively cheap 6million pounds as well.He was a bit part player in Brazil's triumph at the 2002 World Cup.I hope that he stays with Milan for a great many years to come.Scram off Chelsea!

Juan Riquelme now that would be a signing! I think they have a wealth of players to choose from. They have the $$$$ but they need to spend it wisely and tatically unlike some corrupted Spanish team who I won't mention--*cough Real Madrid cough*. Well I think Roman would be great although I would miss him on the Villareal Squad..hmmm\n\nSince Van Nistlerooy was throwing a hissy fit I think they might replace him and/or keep him benched. They have decent strikers--rooney, saha. They also have good midfeilders. I don't know about the defense. Rio is strong and so is Silvestre but I think Patrice Evra was a waste of cash yah? Brown is one fire too. I don't know who they can get really. I would love to see them snatch Carlos Tevez before Chelsea get their filthy hands on him. Do not underestimate Tevez's skill. He just might be the next Maradona...heck the next Pele. I think they can also snatch some of the Madrid players to  put them to better use. Madrid doesn't know how to manage for **** and their players have a lack of communcation like umm every game. The managers also quit and give up on the squad after a month--two months max.\nSo if Man U were to say buy that mid-ogre--the danish one and maybe Robinho--wow what a dream that would be huh? You can wish can't you? Adriano would be perfect but he is out of reach too. I am stumped so I am going to stick with my main man Juan Roman and my next main man Tevez! *Go Tevez*

Of course they will, they paid $51 mil just to talk to him, not signing him would be the biggest mistake since Napolean sold Louisiana.  He might not end up being worth the money, like Irabu, but they cannot just flush that kind of money down the drain.

Look for AC Milan to trade Chelsea Andrey Shevchenko for Hernan Crespo and if that does'nt go they will buy Ruud Van Nistlerooy from Man Utd.Of course every one knows Bayern Munich's Michael Ballack is arriving in London after the World Cup.

Of course.\nMost likely they will be relegated to Serie B or Serie C and they will not be allowed to play any International competition, because their "real" standing in the 2005-2006 title will be the last position, therefore they did not gain the rights to compete Internationally.

Chelsea worked out a deal with the Company AEG who owns 4 MLS teams. The worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to send their players over to the states to develop and they have the option to transfer players from the MLS if they want. So that could be part of it, to test the waters and see how good some of the players they want to develop are.

They will need some luck - just a bounce of the ball here or there could help.\n\nI think they will come second. You heard it here first.

Currently ManUtd is eyeing Nemanja Vidic, one of the members of the Serbian and Montenegro ever famous defenders, also known as the 'famous 4'. ManUtd has been having problem with its defence lately, letting in quite a number of goals. If I;m not mistaken, Vidic has already agreed to join MU, passed medicals and are expected to start off sometimes real soon.\n\nThey have also been looking for someone to replace Roy Keane in midfield. Alan Smith has been playing great, but not as great as Keane I supposed. John Mikel Obi a youngster from Nigeria is among the ones MU interested in but is having some dispute with Chelsea over him.

Wow if they were any cheaper they'd be as cheap as zidane shirts!  :D\n\nMilan will be back once they replace Andrei, I guess Ronaldinho won't be the guy.

Hopefully, yes!\nRealistically, no!\nBut I think they will give them a better run for their money than the other teams have done during this Autumn series!

Who is to say that United will not buy in January. They are showing an interest in Torres and are obviously still keen on Hargreaves. Chelsea have not got a surplus of strikers. If Drogba got injured who would replace him? I think United's squad is good enough now to win the premiership. They have proved that they have players other than the main strikers who can score goals.

I think it is helping the premiership. It will step up the quality of players in the premier league which can only be a good thing! Their current form shows you can't buy the premiership as they have been slipping up alot lately. Unfortunately their endless spending will take talents from decent european teams lowering the challenge in the UEFA champions league.

Ballack Big possability.As in the contract negotations are already taking place because Ballack admitted his intrest.Andriey is a diffrent story he isn't locked up wit AC for ever ONLY if some one pays AC more than 50 mil euros (such as real madrid did with Zidane they paid 49 mil to Juve a while back )\nI think he will stay for a few more years at AC because they have Kaka,Inzaghi,Seedorf,Maldini,  DIda locked up at least for now.I know for a fact Ballack is finally leaving Buyer Munich.\nGo Chelsea! they can't be stoppedl! 2 years in a row next year with Ballack it will be a UEFA victory title too!

YANKEES!!? HA! you'r kidding me guys... the Mets are doing a hell of a job and I think they can pose as a serious threat.. Hopefully it doesn't mean that they'll end up in a race spending as much money as the team from the Bronx does.
