Which Team In Europe and Domestic Will Suprise You Next Season?

sven goran-eriksson, you mean?

 

Let's hope so, jpick.

IMO, 07/08, after the last few seasons in last 16 mediocrity, Real Madrid will at least make it to the semi finals of the Champion's League, which will be an suprise, to an extent.

 

I hope Napoli surprise Serie A next season.

 

I think Fiorentina will have a good run in the UEFA Cup next season.

 

I think sunderland, aston villa and west ham could maybe challenge for a uefa cup spot if they bring in the right players, newcastle should be in the hunt for a eufa cup spot, but i cant see allardyce getting anymore out of his team. Liverpool will be out of the title race before christmas, as i cant see them spending anymore than 30 million which will just about get them torres, and i believe they a new right midfielder plus a 20 + striker if they want to compete with chelsea and man u. Arsenal could challenge chelsea and man u but they need to bring in experience or they will carry on like last season.

Chelsea will get to the champions league final, but only 2 english teams will compete in the semis, chelsea and arsenal. Liverpool will go out in the second round and man u in the quarters.

If i had to go out on a limb i think the big four will turn into the big 5 this season with a team out of sunderland, aston villa, newcastle, tottenham bridging the gap between liverpool and arsenal.

 

I think Feyenoord will do well next season

 

leverkusen has bought some good players, they can surprise.

 

I wonder if they will be able to keep Royston Drenthe.

 

I would be surprised if they do. According to the English press there are a number of Premiership teams (including Chelsea) keeping close tabs on him.

 

I wouldn't.

He just turned 20, so one or more years of Eredivisievoetbal seems the most logical step.

 

Domestically in NL:

feyenoord (especially with Makaay, if that goes through and no European football)
Heerenveen

I also expect Heerenveen to do well in Europe, in spite of their lack of experience. Good team.

 

feyenoord are keeping him, you can count on that.

25 million euros is where the pendulum might start moving though, as feyenoord are in debt (which is a miraculous achievement btw)

 

Napoli, top 6 in Seria A, Mark it

 

I think Serie A will surprise us by having no corruption/fixing scandals

 

that's ballsy, my friend. i was gonna go with sunderland winning the prem, but you went even further out on the limb.

 

lol - before anyone takes that to heart let me make it clear I was only joking, friday lunches in the pub aren't always a good idea

 

I think Napoli will surprise, so will Arsenal without Henry

 

schalke 04 in champions league

 

Bayern Munich win UEFA Cup and Bundesliga after being revamped

 

with all the players they have added, would that be a surprise, really?

 

I like you. LOL

 

CFR Cluj from Romania; they will make a good figure, but in the UEFA Cup! Big budget and a lot of money and a lot of transfers ...

 

Liverpool will challenge for the title.

 

Feyenoord in Holland I reckon. They are getting rid of all of Gullit's buys, keeping their homegrown talent and investing in talented mostly Dutch footballers. Shame they didn't qualify for European football.
