Thread for discussing 2011 EPL! I know you unpatriotic, probably communist football fans are out there somewhere.
After the first couple games this year, its pretty clear that United, City and Chelsea are separating themselves from the pack quality-wise. Each of them added a lot of talent to already strong squads. Looking more closely though, it was City and Chelsea who have added the most, adding mostly proven players (and a superb coach) while United's additions were primarily young talent (along with Young).
Liverpool spent similarly huge sums of money, but seem to have overspent on a number of their recent additions, and are questionable as far as contenders. Arsenal needs players all over the pitch, while they have plenty of talent their squad is thin and susceptible to crises like they are currently suffering from.
Rest of the league doesn't even matter that much with regards to the title race. Tottenham has players but not enough money to compete - they have holes, not to mention wealthy vultures circling overhead for their best players. Everton has talent as well, but might be in a death spiral due to years of financial mismanagement and an apparent unattractiveness to potential buyers.
