As if this season couldn't look any worse for us, we end with Liverpool (H), Man Utd (A), Newcastle (A), Chelsea (H) and Arsenal (A).
Horrific run-in. We need to already have about 38 points by the time we get to those fixtures or we've got no chance.

West Brom should never have sacked Steve Clarke in the first place,
Alan Irvine is a terrible Appointment, West Brom fans deserve better.

So Man Utd signed Luke Shaw for £30mil (including bonus'). No doubt he's a good young player. But hasn't Evra signed a contact extension? I just don't see the point. Especially when there's plenty of areas Utd need improving first. The only thing I can think of, is moving him forward into midfield, I wonder how he'd cope there.

We're ed for next season. Suarez either stays and can't play or we sell for a lower price. No win situation.

Very happy with our week. Herrera will be good for us and whilst Shaw costs a lot we have a good track record with young players for £30m (see: Ferdinand, Rio & Rooney, Wayne) so I'm not worried. Give him a season learning from Evra who has bags of experience to pass on (lets not forget he was the best LB in the world for a period) and then let him take over the #3 shirt.
Rumours we're going for Arturo Vidal next - after Ronaldo coming home he's my dream signing for United. If I was Ed Woodward I'd pay £50m for him with a smile on my face. After that all we need is a great CB for £25m-ish (and maybe a cheap backup RB) and the summer will be complete. Next summer get 2 wingers and a striker in and the rebuild would officially be complete.

I just don't understand why Vidal would leave Juventus for United. I can't imagine Juve wanting to sell, Vidal wanting to leave, or Vidal choosing United over say Real Madrid.
Obviously money talks, but it's not like Juve have no money.

Obviously money talks, but it's not like Juve have no money. Juve aren't overly rich. Vidal has said he wants to go to the PL, and both Chelsea and City are stacked in that position. We'd offer him more money than anyone else out of those left. I know I'm reaching here, but I love him so I really want it to happen! I suppose Arsenal could get him but I think he'd probably pick us if we offered him 30k p/w more.

Liverpool could have a frightening front four of Sturridge, Sterling, Alexis Sanchez and Origi if they complete their rumoured signings. I still think they'll struggle managing Champions League Football aswell, but I'd expect them to go out fairly early so they could essentially just focus on the Prem again for a large chunk of the Season. Not sure Herrera will be any good for United. I would of paid any price for Kroos, certainly a lot more than the £25million Real Madrid have offered, best centre mid baller in the World for me.

Does anyone know when the BPL website will be up and running again/when I can log in?

Alexis Sanchez has signed for Arsenal.
Loving all these world class players coming into the Premier League this summer. Sanchez, Fabregas, Costa and likely more to come.

I can definitely see a couple of areas that need strengthening though. To me it's Monk's managerial experience that may be the problem.
