My Team - Liverpool

Where will you finish in your league next season (optimistic) - 1st

Where will you finish in your league next season (realistic) - 2nd/3rd depending on many things

How will your team do in Europe/Cups - Hopefully we can reach the final again (you know, every other year and that )

Last chance saloon - Depends who we get rid of, tempted to say pennant if he stays (but hope he goes)

One(s) to watch out for - Babbel, insua (villa )

Key man - Gerrard and torres, has to be

Breakthrough year - insua

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (optimistic) - Villa

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (realistic) - Villa, not sure who else i'd want up front at the moment who is available.

Who will you actually sign - Barry

Who do you want out - Kewall, pennant, finnan

Who will leave - Kewell pennant, finnan

Manager's short term job security - OK for now, who knows after september, I would hope he will be backed who ever ends up in charge for at least this season as he deserves to be.

Manager's long term job security - Less rosey unless he challenges for the league this year.

Summary for next season - Hopefully get rid of the americans without sacrficing Benitez. Hopefully we can make some big signings to complement our existing backbone. Sammy lee to help some youngsters to get a game, babel to turn it up a notch. The main thing as ever is to challenge for the league and not sacrifice any ground in the league for the CL.

IMO Inter need to concentrate on the CL... at the expense of the Serie A title if necessary... IMO

True, most Inter fans will happily take the CL over Serie A, but part of me will feel empty if we lose one to win the other

My Team - Man Utd

Where will you finish in your league next season (optimistic) - 1

Where will you finish in your league next season (realistic) - 1

How will your team do in Europe/Cups - Hopefully be challenging for the champs league again this season but would be far too optimistic to say winning it again.

Last chance saloon - scholes/giggs, cant see them staying after this season.

One(s) to watch out for - Anderson/Nani

Key man - Ronaldo

Breakthrough year - Anderson/Nani

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (optimistic) - Villa or Richards

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (realistic) - Not sure, need a striker but realistically looking at maybe berbatov or santa cruz?

Who will you actually sign - No idea

Who do you want out - Saha

Who will leave - Saha

Manager's short term job security - very secure

Manager's long term job security - very secure unless he retires imo

Summary for next season - Challenge for the title. Hopefully challenge for the champs league again. Mould players like anderson and nani into more mature/better players like with ronaldo.

My Team - Celtic

Where will you finish in your league next season (optimistic) - 1st

Where will you finish in your league next season (realistic) - 1st or 2nd

How will your team do in Europe/Cups - Last 16 of Champions League again hopefully! Possibly a domestic cup

Last chance saloon - Massimo Donati

One(s) to watch out for - Barry Robson

Key men - Artur Boruc & Aiden McGeady

Breakthrough year - Andreas Hinkel

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (optimistic) - Deco, Villa, lahm
Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (realistic) - Kadlec, Pavlyuchenko, Thuram

Who will you actually sign - Possibly Samaras but a left back and another striker anyway

Who do you want out - Evander Sno

Who will leave - Lee Naylor, Chris Killen, Derek Riordan, Evander Sno (fingers crossed)

Manager's short term job security - 3 in a row and last 16 of the Champions League twice buys him plenty of time with the board

Manager's long term job security - I doubt he'll stay much longer than maybe a couple of seasons, the pressure he's under is unbelievable irregardless of the succes he's brought. He's been told he has a job for life here though.

Summary for next season - Winning the title is still our priority but with another decent striker and left back i reckon last 16 is achievable and with a favourable draw maybe even last 8. I'm hoping this is the year we can break our European away curse as well and play some decent consistent football along the way!

I know, but I hate him so much. I would be over the moon if he got a career ending injury tomorrow and never wore a Rangers top again.

How will your team do in Europe/Cups - Win League cup, Semi finals FA cup

Last chance saloon - Robinson/King (if they aren't gone already) Robinson will be 2nd choice if not sold, King will be sold on if he can't stay fit. Also think Zokora could be gone this season if not before

Key man - Berbatov (if he stays), Modric (if he stays fit)

Breakthrough year - Giovanni Dos Santos (will do well imo)

Who would you like to see your team sign this summer (optimistic) - Proven, experienced striker and holding midfielder. Not 100% who, were linked with everyone lately. Coupet to replace Robinson could be good. Also hope theres a possibility in Bentley, but i highly doubt he'd be interested.

Who will you actually sign -

Who do you want out - Zokora, Jenas (hate him)

Who will leave - Berbatov

Summary for next season - After an abysmal season just passed and mediocre ones before it, i feel this could be our year when we step it up a notch. We start with some easyish/ok games, so hopefully do well in them and keep morale up.
Ramos is going to do the club proud i feel, hes already done what Jol didn't.
