Who do you think will be your star player next season or most improving and have you goy any young players coming through?

Ill start with United, IMHO Anderson will be a sensation this year, as for young players we actually have our first very good crop since the Beckham, Neville, Scholes era keep an eye out for the Brazilians Possebon and the twins Rafel and Fabio de Silva, looked very promising tonight.

we have already lost our goalkeeping coach and he only joined us 3 weeks ago,he is going to man united, which is why we got simpson on loan for the season.

Didnt know about the GK coach, Simpson apparently has a bad attitude, and is regularly seen around town giving it the big one, hence not in the side in the latter months.

Good player though so should do well for you.

No one at my club (Watford) their all st!

However the players I think will make a big impact elsewhere are;

Samir Nasri - Arsenal
Luca Modric - Spurs
Peter Crouch - Pompey

Player I think will flop;

Robbie Keane - Liverpool Don't know why, just have a funny feeling about this one.

Younger player to look out for;

Jack Wilshere - Arsenal

I saw this kid play against a german side (can't remember which one) last wee and he looked a class act, like a younger version of Joe Cole.

Another one to watch at Arsenal is Carlos Vela, supposed to be really good.

yes

I watched him play against Juventus and a sub appearance against Real Madrid, the kid is class, i'd never heard of him, but he stood out a mile.



Simpson is a good player, certainly looked a decent loan signing for us last season, I was under no illusions that he'd get a better club this year, his attitude seemed good on the pitch.

Pick your strike partnerships

Keane
Torres

Drogba
Anelka

Crouch
Defoe

van Persie
Adebeyor

Jo
Benjani

Berbatov
Bent

IMO potentially lots of goals this season if any of those players get their act together as a partnership.

Players to watch or who I think will do well

Modric (class act)
Nasri (quick feet, should fit into the Arsenal way quicker than the likes of Hleb and Rosicky)
Deco (by no means past it)
Davies (Fulham)
Geovanni (Hull - easy fantasy football points)
Babel (He looked confident towards the end of last season, could make further progress this year)
Jo (Man City - £20m for a 21 year old and has bags of talent, is his supply good enough though?)
Ashton (Free from injury, looked awesome against us last night - unfortunately)
van Persie (Tends to start well, bags and bags of talent, awful attiude IMO)
Frazier Campbell (Man U - may not get many starts, but I expect him to get some chances this season)
Darrent Bent (on fire pre-season, always gets goals, even though he looks like he should be st)

Plenty of others, perhaps Shawcross for Stoke? Looks a decent defender, but as a team they'll struggle.

Yeah, went to Fiorentina, who sent him on loan to some Serie B side where he was crap. He was awesome at Derby though and in Arsenal's reserves, Wenger wanted to keep him as well.

Anyway, Fiorentina have loaned him to us with a view to a permanent deal.

Unless he develops into a better player and/or scores bucket loads, in which case, he'll remain very much a Fiorentina player... with a tidy asking price.

Why would he remain a Fiorentina player? They signed him on the back of a good championship season, then he did fk all there, they want rid of him, he'd have to do something really special to get back in there.

Feels strange to say this about someone so young but I feel it's make or break Theo Walcott

I agree. Same for Phillipe Senderos. This season: goods, or offski.

Isn't Senderos meant to be going to Newcastle?

Rumour mill. We need cover in defence; with Gallas and Toure as the main defenders, come substitute / injury / rests, we only have Djourou and Senderos to chuck in... the others are far too young to pitch against CL/PL teams... well, most of 'em anyway.
