    I worry for the likes of Lingard and Rashford Mourinho won't play youth but both of them were key players for United this season

    Can you in all honesty see them pulling off winning the EPL two years in a row though? I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester finished around mid table next season

    The bigger-budget teams will be ready and organised come next season, no way Leicester repeat.

    I think Leicester will struggle to make the top 10 next year.

    Most other people were happy to see them win this season, but next season more people will want to beat them as they are champions.

    Other managers will now be a bit wiser to their tactics.

    Also having achieved winning the premier league, I'd bet a few players will rest on their laurels and fail to match the same performances next season.

    Everton in talks with Ronald Koeman isn't he taking a step down? Imo Southampton have more potential and a better squad then Everton I'd be really disappointed in him if he goes there

    Send him an email telling him that, maybe he'll change his mind.

    Everton are a bigger club though and probably have a slightly larger budget.

    I'd say there is more prestige with them than Southampton and they sell out regularly, unlike Southampton who have empty seats all the time.

    £165m budget.

    That's way more than Southampton would give him, even given their resources. He'll more than likely double or triple his wage.

    Everton are a biggger side too and there is the basis of a good squad there, new challenge for him.

    I'd put money on Michael Laudrup maybe replacing him.

    On the radio they are sitting talking about how Southampton unearthed gems like Wanyama :smiley-laughing002:

    Aye no bother never mind you paid 10 million for someone who was a stand out in the champions league playing for one of the most recognised clubs in the world.

    Some going that.

    Pretty disappointed that's Koeman is going to Everton. Wonder if he'll take Shane Lonh with him.

    But because he played in our wee diddy league though.

    Never mind the fact Jamie Rednknapp and Neville sat creaming themselves over his performance against Barca that night.

    £12m...we were * robbed. Same with Van Dijk.

    If Stones is sold Virgil will replace him at Everton probably go for Fraser too as they need a new keepr
    In terms of Southampton replacements for Koeman I think Emery, Pellegrini and De Boer maybe even Moyes

    Apparently Stones and Barkley might stay.

    Van Dijk will be gutted about Koeman leaving, imagine he is a massive role model for him. I cannot see him going to Everton however, bit of a sidewards step in terms of being a player. Can see the appeal for Koeman as I said.

    Van Dijk's next move has to be a Man United, Liverpool or something.

    Leicester have signed Zieler from Hannover, German 'keeper.

    Good player but I can't help but feel it's a really strange signing. Schmeichel is surely going to number 1 still? And signing Zieler as a back up seems a bit mental.
