Time to write my Premier League predictions. Here goes:
1) Man Utd - I think this will be a very tough race with the top three all challenging. Ultimately
I think Utd will win out.
2) Man City- I only want to see some more playmaking ability in the central midfield, then I'm
convinced.
With the Premier League start beginning, it's time for previews. Take it away, Amy Lawrence:
Gervinho might prove to be another classic Arsène Wenger bargain, an athletic and pacy ball player
raring to step up a level, spirited over from France for a fee that doesn't make a certain manager
with a well-documented devotion to cautious housekeeping choke as if he was asked to fix the Greek
economy before breakfast.
A giant question mark is lodged deeply over the head of Brad Friedal.
This pertains to the new Tottenham signing's performance last season. More explicitly, his
performance fell of a cliff. Oh, and Tottenham just signed him and seem prepared to start him ahead
of the error-prone but better Heuerelho Gomes.
Wesley Sneijder is the name on the lips of many a Man Utd fan. Rumours about an upcoming Red Devil
bid for the Dutch maestro have been swirling all summer, reaching a peak this week when Sniejder
refused to rule out a transfer to the rainy north-west.
One stumbling block to a move appears to be salary, with the Dutchman currently on £250,000 per
week, which does not fit into Man Utd's non-Rooney wage structure.

Luka Modric really, really wants to leave Tottenham. Spurs Number 2 Kevin Bond now publicly
acknowledges that the unhappy player may leave if a bid matches the club's valuation of the
player.
The scenario floating around the newspapers is a straight cash deal for Modric. Modric in exchange
for money, giving Spurs cash to pursue other players in the transfer market.
