English League Predicitons - 2008/09
The new Premier League starts in almost 24 hours. We've had Euro 2008 and the Olympics to carry us through summer, but nothing beats European league football. The English league is one of the best in the world, so let's do some predicting.
20. Hull
Hull might register less than the 11 points Derby secured in their record-setting season last year. Hull don't have the quality to compete at this level, but the city will be enthusiastic for every home game. Expect lots of effort, but few results.
19. Stoke
Freshly-promoted, but unfortunately, Stoke will be relegated just as quickly. Like Hull, they lack resources in almost every position to even compete with the lower teams in this league.
18. Bolton
Please, can we get Bolton relegated already? They never replaced Anelka last season and I still can't see where the goals are coming from. Maybe a full season under Gary Megson will be beneficial, but Megson's star has never quite shined anywhere he's been. He brought in Elmander, a Swiss striker this season, but there will be a period of settling first.
17. West Brom
West Brom have a solid squad until you get to the strikers. I think the quality of the rest of the side, however, will keep them up.
16. Wigan
Wigan have done the bare minimum this off-season to keep themselves afloat for another year in the league. I wonder if/when they will take a chance on a big signing to fill the JJB Stadium? It seems as if the team is satisfied with mediocrity at the moment, but maybe that's what these mid-sized clubs need to do these days to solidify their league survival. They'll grind out some sneaky wins and gutty ties to stay up.
15. Fulham
Roy Hodgson has bought an immense amount of players to ensure that Fulham won't encounter the scare they faced last season. The purchases of Andy Johnson, Bobby Zamora, and Mark Schwarzer will be enough for the Cottagers to stay up.
14. Blackburn
Mark Hughes leaving the manager's post for greener pastures at Manchester City was the biggest loss for Blackburn this past season. Then came the departure of playmaker (and goalscorer) David Bentley and the dependable goalkeeper Brad Frieldl. Led by an inexperienced Paul Ince, I don't see Blackburn measuring up to their successful recent past. I reckon they'll be able to stay afloat because their strikers - Santa Cruz, Jason Roberts, and Benni McCarthy - are quality.
13. Sunderland
Roy Keane has plunged 60 million (amazingly) into his squad after solidifying his second year in the league as a manager. And to be honest, what Keane has done with Sunderland as a manager has been nothing short of brilliant. He took a team (in the middle of a season) that was in the 2nd half of the lower-league Championship two years ago, got them promoted to the premier league that very same year, and kept them up their first year back in some time. A tough task, indeed. And with new signings Diouf, Chimbonda, Tainio, Sunderland look like they'll be able to stay afloat. When their giant of a striker, Kenwyne Jones, gets back to full health, it'll be an additional boost.
12. Newcastle
I think 11th might be a bit too high for Newcastle this year, but the talent below them is so poor, I think they'll be able to elude any relegation scare. They just signed a defender, Coloccini, which was desperately needed for their porous defense. With the likes of Martins, Owen, Duff, Viduka, N'Zogbia, and new guy Jonas Gutierez roaming the pitch, Newcastle should be OK.
11. West Ham
West Ham have the talent, but are the most injured, overpaid team in the league. Plus, they got beat by the MLS All-Stars a few weeks ago, which speaks volumes. However, if striker Dean Ashton remains healthy, he'll be quality.
10. Middlesbrough
Manager Gareth Southgate has survived into his third season and with Alfonso Alves on board for a full season of goalscoring expectations, I think Boro can rustle up a good season here. Stewart Downing runs that team and that's not a bad thing. Mido and Tuncay are always goalscoring threats, but I do worry about their lack of depth in midfield and defense, having just sold Luke Young to Aston Villa.
9. Manchester City
Signing Mark Hughes as manager was the club's best decision after the departure of Sven Goran Eriksson last year. But Hughes is too good of a manager to be dealing with the circus that City has become. Hughes has only managed to sign Jo as an attacking option, but I fear he is too young to handle the league just yet. Their defensive signing was Tal Ben-Haim, who must moonlight as a traffic cone, because his defending is dreadful. City had a good squad from last season, so there is still plenty of talent there with Elano, Richards, Dunne, Bojinov, Castillo, and Corluka, but Hughes will need to steady the ship before breaking above the ten spot.
8. Everton
All the pundits are saying how Everton has so many problems coming into the season and how they've overachieved the past few seasons. Sure, they didn't make many (if any) quality signings this summer, but they still have the likes of Yakubu, Lescott, Arteta, Cahill, Howard, Baines, and Osman. They have a very thin squad at the moment, which worries me, but their fall won't be bad as the pundits predict. Moyes can manage the hell out of any team.
7. Portsmouth
Portsmouth are a bewildering team. Winners of the FA Cup last season, they've got plenty of talent to do damage to any team in the league. But they looked dead against United in the Community Shield and they may have lost a lot when they sold midfielder Muntari to Inter Milan recently. Portsmouth added Peter Crouch to pair with Jermain Defoe up top and still have a decent midfield featuring Kranjcar and Diarra. Their defense is anchored by the ever-aging Sol Campbell, but Glen Johnson, Hreiddarson, and Distin are a pretty good supporting cast.
6. Aston Villa
Villa's biggest summer deal was keeping Gareth Barry on board for another season and away from Liverpool. Martin O'Neill has really enlarged his squad for the coming season, adding both talent and experience with players like Friedl, Cuellar, Luke Young, Nicky Shorey, and Steve Sidwell. They come into a squad already boasting with a bit of talent with the likes of Carew, Reo-Coker, Ashley Young, Harewood, Laursen, and the speedy Agbonlahor. I think it'll be an exciting year for the Villains.
5. Tottenham
But maybe not quite as exciting as the year Hotspur might have. Coach Juande Ramos promised to overhaul his squad in the off-season, and he has done so, bringing in GK Gomes, midfielders Bentley, Modric, dos Santos, and possibly Arshavin into the mix. Robbie Keane has left for Liverpool but if Tottenham can hold on to Berbatov and Darren Bent gets hot, look out. On paper, this is a pretty solid squad, especially figuring in the players they held onto from last season: Jenas, Lennon, Gareth Bale, Huddlestone, Zokora, Ledley King, Woodgate, Dawson, and so on. Can Ramos hold it together and manage a backline that was dreadful last season? If anything will be their downfall, it'll be defense.
4. Arsenal
I didn't see Arsenal improve this season. Instead, they lost Hleb, Gilberto, and Flamini overseas. The type of football Arsenal play is very delicate and they need a deep squad to provide reinforcements during the grueling winter months. I don't see any. Sure, they'll ride Fabregas, Adebayor, Van Persie (if healthy), Gallas, and new signing Nasri, but I don't think they can win trophies this season. The faster Rosicky heals, the better.
3. Chelsea
Chelsea didn't upgrade where they needed to this off-season. Instead of lining up replacements for an aging (and possibly past it) Drogba and Anelka, they went out and signed Deco, himself an aging and possibly past it creative midfielder. Chelsea's midfield is probably the best on Earth (Lampard, Ballack, Essien, Deco, Mikel, Joe Cole, Malouda, and Shaun Wright-Phillips), but I reckon Drogba will be facing major injuries this season. Chelsea did manage to upgrade their right back position and a Bosingwa-Terry-Carvhallo-Ashley Cole back 4 is pretty intimidating, especially with Cech in net, I just can't see Chelsea scoring the goals needed. New manager Scolari will bring the excitement back to Stamford Bridge, but at a cost.
2. Liverpool
Torres. Need more? How about Torres and Robbie Keane up front? Not enough? OK. How about Gerrard, Torres, Keane, Alonso, Ryan Babel, Kuyt, Pennant, Mascherano, Benayoun, and Lucas at Manager Benitez's disposal? If there was an issue with Liverpool's massive NFL-sized squad, it would be their aging defense. Still, if you offered most teams in this league the back line choices of Carragher, Finnan, Agger, Arbeloa, and Skrtel, I think they would take it in a heartbeat.
1. Manchester United
A lot of pundits are writing off United's chances for a repeat title performance this year because Cristiano Ronaldo will (1) be injured through the start of the season, (2) will have his mind elsewhere - like Madrid, and (3) not be able to score as many goals as he did last year. All those are probably true, but Ronaldo has a brain under that greasy, Euro-mullet of his, and he knows that he's a professional. Football stars burn out quicker than most professional athletes (unlike MLB pitchers, who can hang around forever) and Ronaldo does not want his glare to wane. Getting a healthy Ronaldo back in the squad will be a huge boost to Alex Ferguson's squad, who have plenty of talent (Uhm, Rooney, Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Tevez, Hargreaves, Vidic, Ferdinand, and possibly Berbatov) to hang around the top three until Ronaldo returns. A good season by Ronaldo will increase his payday and get the fans back on his side, so when he does leave, it'll be as a hero, and not a gold digger.
20. Hull
Hull might register less than the 11 points Derby secured in their record-setting season last year. Hull don't have the quality to compete at this level, but the city will be enthusiastic for every home game. Expect lots of effort, but few results.
19. Stoke
Freshly-promoted, but unfortunately, Stoke will be relegated just as quickly. Like Hull, they lack resources in almost every position to even compete with the lower teams in this league.

Interesting Transfers.
This transfer season has been loud with talk and speculation, but quiet in actually getting things done. Ronaldo looks like he'll be with Manchester for at least one more season and I think his transfer would've been a major force in setting off a domino effect across Europe in terms of transfers. Ronaldo leaves, and Berbatov might be a Red Devil. Robinho might be with Chelsea, and so on. Still, there have been some interesting moves this season. Here are a few changes that I'll keep an eye on as the season goes on.
Andy Johnson to Fulham, $21 million
Fulham rarely spends big in the summer transfer window, but it seems like they're eyeing a more comfortable place in the table after battling relegation for the past two seasons. 21 million is an awful lot for this England striker, but consistent scoring is hard to come by in this league. Everton have deemed Johnson surplus, as they are looking to secure the services of Sporting Lisbon's Moutinho - a crafty midfielder with lots of promise. Andy Johnson is definitely an upgrade at striker for the Cottagers and if Jimmy Bullard can stay healthy in midfield, he'll provide some good service to both Johnson and another newly acquired forward - Bobby Zamora. It will also be interesting to see how this effects the playing time of US internationals Clint Dempsey and Eddie "Passback" Johnson.
Freddy Adu to Monaco, Loan
I think all American fans were happy to see this move happen. Adu had a promising season ahead of him when he transferred to Benfica from MLS last year, but he's seen limited action despite impressing fans and scoring 5 goals in 10 appearances, mostly as a sub. Monaco is in rebuilding mode and teams don't often go after loans if they're not serious about giving the player a good amount of time on the pitch. Adu has impressed with the US national senior side and he'll be missing the beginning of French League One due to the Olympics. Adu will grow once he gets to play week in and week out and hopefully, he will impress Benfica enough to give him more time next season or give him a transfer to a bigger club.
Ronaldinho to AC Milan, A bazillion gazillion dollars.
This is an interesting move. Players often resurrect their careers by changing scenery, but AC Milan is an odd move. At Barcelona, The Toothed One was the center of Frank Rijkaard's championship teams. At Milan, he'll have to share the spotlight with current footballer of the year, Kaka, Pirlo, Pato, and Ambrosini. Plus, Milan is not playing Champions League football this year, so I wonder if the drive will be there. AC Milan needed to upgrade their roster, especially with the Special One arriving at Inter, but I'm not sure taking a gamble on this aging Brazilian play maker was the right choice.
Bosingwa to Chelsea, $32 million
That's a lot of money for a right back, isn't it? I agree. Still, Chelsea have been looking to upgrade their right back situation for 2 years now. Paulo Ferreira is solid in spots, but makes too many mistakes. Juliano Belletti was a stopgap measure last season after losing out on Daniel Alves because of a high price tag (Alves went to Barca this season), but he is an aging hired gun. Bosingwa was signed during the Avram Grant period, but I have to believe that the new manager, Scolari, had a heavy hand in this. He managed the right back when he was managing the Portugal national team and looked versatile as he sprinted up and down the flank, earning himself a spot on the all-2008 Euro Team. With Ashley Cole on the left and Bosingwa on the right, Chelsea have strengthened an obvious weakness in their wing-play.
Brad Friedl and Brad Guzan to Aston Villa, a few million each
The US talent pool for goalkeepers is simply amazing. Friedl retired from US international play after the 2002 World Cup, but continued playing unbelievable football for Blackburn. Once Blackburn manager Mark Hughes bolted for Manchester City, Friedl had no interest in staying and was snatched up by Villa. Almost 40, Friedl will be mentoring the 23-year old Guzan, who finally sealed a switch from Chivas USA that had been brewing since January. Guzan can only flourish in this environment, where practice sessions are more intense than a full-on MLS match. If Guzan finds success at Villa (he'll probably play in Cup competitions this year), he looks on track to solidify a backup role to a fellow American Premier Leaguer, Tim Howard.
Robbie Keane to Liverpool, $35 million (reported)
This transfer has yet to go through, but if it does, it's just another horse on Rafa Benitez's carousel of rotating players. The sheer volume of players that Benitez has introduced into the squad during his tenure is staggering. How many players does this guy need to buy before he's happy and settles on a starting eleven? I think he knows two players who will start each week: Gerrard and shot-stopper Pepe Reina. True, he's won a Champions League but he hasn't come close to a league title so far. Crouch, Voronin, Pennant, Agger, Kuyt, Babel, Bellamy, Mascherano, Benayoun, Skrtel, Arbeloa, and probably 20 other guys I can't think of have all failed to help Liverpool win the title. I'm not sure where Robbie Keane fits in. Liverpool doesn't have a problem scoring - not with Torres on form. Perhaps it's the insanity of the manager that's holding them back.
Barcelona Overhaul, Millions and millions
A new coach means new players, and Barcelona are revamping their squad following one of their worst seasons in recent memory. Shoring up the defense will be newcomers Daniel Alves (from Sevilla), Cacerces (Villareal), and Gerard Pique (from Manchester United) with Alexander Hleb (Arsenal) and Keita (Sevilla) as new distributors in the midfield. The Catalans haven't added anything to their strike force, but when you have Henry, Messi, Eto'o, and a superb rising star in Bojan, you don't need to do much.
Luka Modric, Tottenham, $33 million
I honestly thought that Juande Ramos was going to overhaul Tottenham in a way that would make the team unrecognizable to new supporters. However, Ramos has only added a new goalkeeper (Gomes, from PSV), a young striker in Giovanni dos Santos (Barca), and Modric - a huge signing for Tottenham fans who will expect a lot from the Croatian play maker. His Euro 2008 showing was less than stellar, but Modric has proved himself with the national side during Euro qualifying (helping Croatia beat England) and his former side Dinamo Zagreb. He's a small midfielder with incredible vision and pinpoint accuracy. Whether he can hack the Premier League given his size is yet to be seen, but it seems like Ramos is depending on the 22 (!!) year old to be the center of an attractive, attacking Hotspur side.

Keepin' Updated: Predictions
Euro 2008 has begun and we at Booked!, are pumped. The Euros gives the World Cup a run for its money in terms of quality football, excitement, and atmosphere. ESPN is covering every single match, which is fantastic, even if every Sportscenter host takes a shot at soccer every chance they get. So insecure those guys are, aren't they? I've never once read on an American soccer blog how silly American football is. True soccer fans just don't care about it, really. About all the rules, pads, coaches, stoppages (talk about boring), cheerleaders, half-time shows, commercials. The NFL and American beer commercials are the same now that I think about it - anything to keep you distract you from the disgusting product you're ingesting.
But anyway, I wanted to keep tabs on my predictions from what seemed like forever ago. So far, I am 2-0. Both the Czechs and Portuguese squeezed through their opening matches over Switzerland and Turkey, respectively. As you'll remember, I chose Germany to win the whole thing, and I stick by that. They play Poland tomorrow and I hope to report that I will keep my perfect prediction record, but I will be at the US - Argentina match. Booked! hopes to bring you some photos and analysis as soon as possible from the match.
