Team expectations for next season - Chelsea

Chelsea have now have Mourinho as a manager... again!

Now Sir Alex Ferguson has retired from being a manager in football and Manchester United have a new manager, Chelsea are favourites to win the premier league ! 

In my opinion, Chelsea will be 2013/14 premier league champions and that would be great for them and a lot of Chelsea fans will be hoping Mourinho can do that for them! 

So yeah... Chelsea should be hoping for 1st spot!

Team expectations for next year - Cardiff City

Cardiff City will be new to the premier league this season as they have just been promoted to the premier league after being the winners of the championship.

One player in particular helped Cardiff win the championship this season and that it is 31 year old centre half Hudson. I'm pretty sure Hudson will captain Cardiff in the premier league and I feel Cardiff are good enough to survive the premier league and I do not think they will get relegated! 

Team expectations for next year - Aston Villa

Near the start of the transfer window it looked very bad for Villa as a few teams were keen to sign their main man and extremely good goal scorer Christian Benteke. It looked even worse when the godly striker put in a transfer request to speed up the chase and now Spurs were very close to signing Benteke and they started with a bid what was not quite enough so Spurs were to try again but... It wasn't to be, everyone was shocked when they found out Benteke had signed a new contract with Villa !

This news was amazing for everyone at Aston Villa because Benteke is very young and he has great potential so he will only get better and better. Aston Villa will hope for a top half finish next season and that would be a good position for them!

Team expectations for next year - Arsenal + Spurs

Tottenham and north London rivals Arsenal always have a competetive battle for a  champions league  spot and to be honest, Arsenal usually come out on top and this year Spurs missed out to Arsenal by just one point! This year I think that will change because Spurs have made a few great signings already and they also have back two of their best players - Sandro and Kaboul. AVB said this was like two amazing new signings now they're back from injury! Which I agree with, Sandro would have made a huge impact if he didn't get injured and arguably he looked even  more promising than the one and only Gareth Bale! Also Sandro is only in his early - mid twenties so he is just getting better and better, Kaboul is also a very good player Spurs missed out on this season and being one of the fastest and strongest centre-backs in the game the two would have made a huge impact and maybe pushed us to 3rd spot ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal! Spurs look more promising so far as Arsenal have failed in all their attempts of signing players accept one (Sanoga) which to be honest is not a major signing! So on transfers Spurs are definitely in the driving seat and the Spurs team looks better than Arsenal! I think Spurs will finish 3rd or 4th this season if everything goes to plan and at this rate, Arsenal 4th, 5th or even 6th! 

Player expectations for next year ! (Andros Townsend)

Last year Andros went on loan to relegated QPR. Here he impressed with his ability to run past players at incredible pace and he was able to make brilliant direct runs and his final product wasn't too bad. He also done well at Spurs when he had the chance but he didn't receive them often.

I expect Andros to become a great winger in the years to come but I am not too sure he will be a first team player come the new season and I think at most he will be on the bench. His running ability with the ball is excellent and cannot be faulted however its getting the ball out of his feet. He is a greedy player who rarely passes when he should and instead tries to shoot. This is what he needs to work on and learn when and where he should distribute the ball.

Player expectations for next year ! (Nacer Chadli)

We don't know much about Chadli as he is a new signing from FC Twente. While at Twente he played out on the left and was a very fast player who would take on defenders and ultimately he scored a few goals.

I expect Chadli to be a first team player next year and take Bale's position out on the left and Bale would push into the middle. Due to Chadli's past stats I expect him to score around 8-10 goals next year and I also expect him to set a few up as well. At Twente he was a very skilful player and despite the quality of defenders in the Premier League I still expect him to take on defences and with him and Lennon being our two wide men I think many teams will struggle with the pace and skill.

Player Expectations for next year ! (Aaron Lennon)

I was very impressed with Aaron Lennon last year and I thought that he deserved much more credit than he got. In my opinion he was just as important to Spurs as Bale last year, he gave Spurs the width and pace down the right hand side and he worked brilliantly all year and I thought it was his best season in North London last year.

I expect Aaron Lennon to have an equally good season next year and be a first team player and also hopefully he will get more time in the England squad which he deserves but doesn't get. The only thing I expect Lennon to work on is his final product. On certain occasions he will make an excellent run through the opposition but deliver a poor cross or take a poor shot however I must say that his crossing has improved a substantial amount but his finishing not so much. But I think this is due to Lennon not being a greedy character who would rather pass the ball than take a shot.
