Got to give credit to Stoke

They got promoted and were very clever in how they built their squad

They brought in Pulis, who'd keep them up and let them get a footing. They then bought wisely and have started adding gradually more impressive players and I'd say they have a pretty decent squad now. Allen will probably improve them and if they can get Berahino, and he finds some form, they could honestly be pushing for Europe next season

In a world where clubs like QPR come up and overspend at will only to go right back down again, it's good to see a club come up, spend wisely and retain their position. Stoke, and to a lesser extent Swansea, are the model for what to do when you're a newly promoted side

Yeah but they're Stoke.

Swansea I'd say started doing stupid things last season, and maybe some silliness the season before - when they came up they also spent wisely/used academy players/sold a big name or loads of money but had a replacement ready etc.

It is a bit refreshing.

But they are still Stoke.
 

Juve are going to be a force in the CL this season... they've improved their squad even further with Pjanic, Alves, Benatia and now Higuain. Some talent!

Didn't actually realise Higuain is so good. Is he?
 

Blimey.

Bristol City have signed a young goalie from Bayern, and an Icelandic international defender from Juve.

Not better than Benzema who took his place at Real.

This means Pogba is all but gone to United for £100mill+.

They could've brought Ronaldo back for half that price IMO.
