I REALLY liked the look of Bailly in the Community Shield game against some tough attacking opposition. He's a little rash and comparisons are premature but I can see some Vidic in him with perhaps better ball skills considering his La Liga experience in playing the ball forward and dribbling.
If Smalling continues his development then we good. I don't ever wanna see Blind in central defence ever again, though he did a decent job at times with it. We had the best defensive record last year, but how much of that is down to De Gea is something to consider.
It's all about our chemistry between players themselves and with the manager. If it all comes together, top 2 is guaranteed imo.
Having (IMO) the best keeper in Europe not named Neuer or Buffon has alot to do with it. Not to mention the wing backs were stepping up. But is Smalling/Rojo goes down that back 4 is exposed. I mean Danny Welbeck went NUTS on that back four season last year. DANNY....WELBECK...
But Man U's biggest issue was they couldn't score. They have corrected that...I just wouldn't trust those CBs in the same way I didn't trust Gabriel as the starting CB for Arsenal.

My friends dad went over there for business a few years back and some friends gave him a Stoke jersey that didn't fit. He asked me if I wanted it and I said hell yea. Been riding for them ever since











What that poor soul can do against it? 

Leicester wont fall out of the top 6 O don't think. Still quite strong. Kante loss is big but they'll be ok.
