The addition of Jack Grealish is a smart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/premier-league-signing-of-season\/\">signing<\/a> and if City get Kane or Messi too they could really end up running away with it.<\/p>\n<p>GP: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/man-utds-schweinsteiger-move-mistake-rose-tinted-lvg\/\">Man Utd<\/a> to win it.

Star man Ivan Toney will definitely get <strong>Brentford<\/strong> goals in their debut Premier League season but this is a huge step up for them and their squad lacks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/shrewd-player-lands-652x-return-correct-score-pick-4-pool\/\">players<\/a> with Premier League pedigree so it will be a short lived experience for the Bees.

Never thought I\u2019d be saying that but they had a decent campaign last season despite missing their star man Jack Grealish for half of it and the signings of Buendia, Bailey and Ings are truly ambitious captures for the club, so I fully expect Villa to get into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/europa-league-final-preview\/\">Europa League<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n<p>GP: Despite losing Grealish, <strong>Aston Villa<\/strong> have strengthened well and other players could get be boosted from removing the reliance on their star man.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which team will perform worse than expected?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BB: Hope I&#8217;m wrong but I can see <strong>Wolves<\/strong> struggling.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I can&#8217;t see <strong>Southampton<\/strong> having a good time this year as they haven&#8217;t done well in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p>BT: <strong>Southampton<\/strong> will do worse than expected. Their form without Ings last season was dreadful and now he&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>FT: I think <strong>Southampton<\/strong> fans should be worried this year. Selling Danny Ings, who would get them 20+ goals a season when fully fit, and not replacing him makes it look as though they\u2019ve hit the self detonate button. I wasn\u2019t convinced by their defending last year and they were often bailed out by the goals Ings scored but, without him, now I don\u2019t know where the goals are going to come from. I\u2019d be surprised if they aren&#8217;t in a relegation battle.<\/p>\n<p>GP: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/2015-16-exciting-season-west-ham\/\">West Ham<\/a>. So well drilled last season but they haven&#8217;t strengthened and have a serious lack firepower without Lingard and no marquee striker signing. Goals could be a problem for them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will be the first manager out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BB: The Southampton manager <strong>Ralph Hassenh\u00fcttl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GD: <strong>Ralph Hassenh\u00fcttl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BT: <strong>Ralph Hassenh\u00fcttl<\/strong> will be the first manager sacked.<\/p>\n<p>FT: <strong>Ralph Hassenh\u00fcttl<\/strong> at Southampton.

Early wins will be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best signing of the season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BB: <strong>Emi Buendia<\/strong> is pure quality all over.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I really like <strong>Leon Bailey<\/strong> as a new signing as he&#8217;s a top player.<\/p>\n<p>BT: <strong>Bryan Gil<\/strong> for \u00a320 million might be a surprisingly good signing. He looked really good last season at a struggling Eibar as an old fashioned winger who is good at dribbling, has a fantastic first touch and is a good passer of the ball. He could be great replacement for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/seven-days-seven-points-22dec\/\">Bale<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>FT: One of the longest transfer saga\u2019s of the last 12 months finally came to an end this summer and Man Utd fans should be delighted because they\u2019ve signed one of the hottest young talents in world <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/seven-days-seven-points-3sept\/\">football<\/a> right now. <strong>Jadon Sancho<\/strong> is not only a technically gifted player but he offers explosive pace, bags of creativity that has often been lacking in the Utd squad over the last few years and he can score and assist for fun too.<\/p>\n<p>GP: What a player <strong>Jadon Sancho<\/strong> is. He&#8217;ll handle the spotlight and will be such a handful for defences over the course of the season. Possible player of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst signing of the season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BB: Technically not a new signing but I&#8217;m going to say giving <strong>Granit Xhaka<\/strong> a new contract. Liability<\/p>\n<p>GD: He&#8217;s not a player but I personally think that the worst signing of the season is <strong>Rafa Benitez<\/strong>. It&#8217;s all going to end in tears.<\/p>\n<p>BT: If it happens it would surely be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/harry-kane-weight-expectancy-spurs\/\">Harry Kane<\/a> for \u00a3150 million+. He&#8217;s injury prone and overrated. If not, Jadon Sancho to United might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/point-to-prove\/\">prove<\/a> to be poor business as well. German <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/seven-days-seven-points-21sept\/\">football<\/a> would make me look good.<\/p>\n<p>FT: Don\u2019t get me wrong, I think <strong>Ben White<\/strong> is a decent young player with huge potential and he\u2019ll bring a lot more stability to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/rejuvenated-arsenal\/\">Arsenal<\/a> defence which has been their weakness for the last few years. But \u00a350m? From Brighton\u2019s perspective, they are laughing all the way to the bank but you have to question what Arsenal were thinking making the deal, especially when Man Utd bought Varane in the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/seven-days-seven-points-7jan\/\">transfer window<\/a> for \u00a345m and Liverpool bought Konate for \u00a336m.<\/p>\n<p>GP: <strong>Andros Townsend<\/strong> is a strange signing in our opinion. Can&#8217;t imagine Benitez will offer him much licence and unfortunately can see him enduring a frustrating campaign on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will win the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/champions-league-quarter-finals-review\/\">Champions League?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/romelu-lukaku-chelsea\/\">Chelsea to retain with big Romelu Lukaku<\/a> to shine.<\/p>\n<p>GD: It&#8217;s finally going to be the turn of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/pochettino-psg-messi\/\">PSG<\/a> to win the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>BT: Most of the strongest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/huddersfield-greatest-team-europe\/\">teams in europe<\/a> are english at the moment and <strong>Man City<\/strong> have one of the biggest and best squads.<\/p>\n<p>FT: <strong>Man City<\/strong> came so close last year and if it wasn\u2019t for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/pep-addressing-city-defensive-issues\/\">Pep Guardiola<\/a> overthinking his tactics for the final, I believe they would have won. City and Guardiola will have learnt a lot from the experience and the pain of coming so close and just missing out will not only have made them stronger as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/rojo-jones-united-improvement\/\">unit<\/a> but will also be a huge motivation for their players to set the record straight.<\/p>\n<p>GP: Barcelona or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/realmadrid\/\">Real Madrid<\/a> won&#8217;t compete late on with their financial woes and <strong>Man City<\/strong> will be prioritising this again for the owners.
