Soccer rumbling and trumblings

First four weeks of EPL has seen few big surprises with things happening on the last day of transfer window. Manchester city becoming rich and buying every high profile player available, Tottenham at last position after 4 weeks surprisingly after spending more than 70m pounds in transfer window, Newcastle put up on sale again, Stoke City player with unusual long throwing arm and last but the least Man Utd lacking the flow which they are known for.

Arsenal was surprisingly not involved in any big transfer buying but still they have a very balanced team. they may not have the biggest names but they have all the biggest names in the making whether its Aaron Ramsey or 16 yr old Jack wilshire, whether its Theo Walcott or Carlos Vela. These are not any big names right now but for sure they will be huge names once they mature and gain experience at Arsenal. With Man Utd playing a lacklustre game till now it looks a 3 prong race between Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Chelsea looks a very balanced team with reliable Terry, Lampard , Ballack in defence and midfield and along with the magician Deco. I call him the magician as he weaves magic and make those goals possible which Barcelona is missing now. Also Liverpool looks very much steady this season with Gerrad and Torres yet to come n flow of EPL they are playing really good with new signings of Riera, Babel and Keane. Keane I think will take some more time before he gets into his groove of scoring goals for which he is known best for.

Well its till very early into the season to predict anything but I hope Arsenal end their 3 yr drought of major trophies by winning EPL and Champions League.
