Its wrecked swansea season , it wrecked Newcastle's season, you need a large good squad. I don't think its affected spurs this season (their shitty transfers have). We need at least five decent players to cope I think.

Thank you every one! I feel like being in a big family of Everton.

Our set piece defending has been a joke all year.

:jump for joy:

I think we're gonna finish 6-8, I'm expecting 7th.
 
For me Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal are a clear top 5. They had a pretty big edge this past season and I expect that they will have again.
-I think Chelsea will win the league as imo they have the most world class players and most strength in depth.
-City have the second best squad in the league imo and I think their players suit Pellegrini's style. At Villarreal he played with two strikers who would often drift to the wings (which suits Aguero and Jovetic more than Dzeko and Negredo) and two wing players who often played in the middle when in possession (which will suit Nasri and Silva).
-I'm curious to see how Moyes will do at United. I think their squad is a bit behind City and Chelsea and it doesn't seem like Moyes can attract the world class players he's after so far.
-Spurs only finished one point off fourth last season and they've added a lot of quality in Chadli, Paulinho, Capoue and Soldado. And they'll get Kaboul and Sandro back from injury as well.
-Arsenal will fall out of the Champions League places unless they get some real reinforcements in.
 
Under that group I expect Liverpool, Everton and Swansea.
-I think Liverpool will get 6th, they've added a couple of players and they'll have Coutinho for an entire season this time around.
-Then you'll have us and Swansea playing for 7th and 8th place. I think Swansea are gonna take quite a step up over last season with the players they have added. Bony reminds me a lot of Yakubu in his good days so now they've got 2 real goal scorers in him and Michu.
-Regarding Everton, I think we might be a bit slow out of the gates as the players get an understanding of a new system and then we might go on a bit of a run after Christmas when hopefully the players will have adapted and maybe one or two players can be brought in in January to replace players who haven't.
 
Newcastle, Fulham, Southampton, Norwich, West Ham, West Brom and Aston Villa will end up in mid table.
-Aston Villa have targeted the right areas in the transfer window and I think that will be enough to keep them out of trouble.
-I think West Brom will miss Lukaku's very efficient scoring from last season and Lugano and Anelka might be a bit past it, so I think they'll see a reduction in points. -West Ham have spent a lot of money, but not really strengthened either as they already had Carroll last season as well. They've only added a backup keeper and Razvan Rat.
-I didn't rate Norwich's squad at all last season, but Hughton got very good results. I still think they overperformed, but now they've added a couple of players in Fer, van Wolfswinkel, Hooper, Olsson and Redmond that you might actually expect at a mid table team so I think they'll match last season's performances.
-I like Southampton's squad. Good full backs,two good central midfielders in Schneiderlin and Cork and they've added Wanyama. Creative players in behind the target man. I don't rate their centre backs, but they've brought in Lovren, though apparently a lot of Lyon fans weren't bothered about him leaving as he didn't have the best of seasons last year.
-Fulham have done well with little money imo. Stekelenburg is a good goalkeeper, Amorebieta in defense, Boateng to replace Diarra and Taarabt will hopefully add a bit of creativity. I think they'll struggle for goals though if Berbatov isn't in form.
-I don't really know what to expect from Newcastle. They already bought a lot of good players in January and I think that squad will get together more this season and improve. Rémy on loan will probably allow Pardew to not play Cissé on the wing.
 
Sunderland, Cardiff, Stoke, Hull City and Crystal Palace are in most immediate danger of relegation imo.
-I don't have a very good view on the teams who have come up. But Crystal Palace finished fifth in the Championship and have lost Zaha and I'm not very impressed with the players they've brought in so far.
-Hull have brought a quite a lot of players in already, but most of them are decidedly average.
-I can see Stoke going down as well. They've brought a pretty crappy left back (Pieters) in to add to their collection of pretty crappy left backs and then that Barcelona centre back. I think Hughes will be fired this season.
-I like the boys Cardiff have brought in so far. Caulker did well for Swansea, Medel will add a bit of steel, Cornelius will be a good target man. And apparently that Korean they got in last summer is pretty good.
-Sunderland were close to going down last season. I don't think Mannone is going to be a capable replacement for Mignolet. I'm not a fan of their defenders though they have added a couple of players in Cabral, Roberge and Diakité, but I don't know anything about any of them. Altidore might score 10 goals, Giaccherini is average and he'll likely be expected to replace Sessegnon who apparently might be going to the Middle East.
