I suspect they'll get what they need though and challenge strongly. I do feel Chelsea's big spend has not significantly improved them, I dont think Costa will adapt and I have a feeling Fabregas will be underwhelming. I think we can get at them, the mou-magic is on the wane! I will be bold and say that Chelsea will finish 5th or below prompting some panic moves at the Bridge. Russia will fall further out of favour internationally , sanctions will increase and Russian money will up sticks into a safer jurisdiction. Oscar & Hazard will have tricky seasons due to fatigue. Tis the beginning of the end at the Bridge! (the above may or not be 100% true...I certainly hope it is though!) The sanctions are increasing against Russia though, London theoretically could become a cold house for those siberians yet.

Then we've City, Arsenal and as Lloyd posted United who are much bigger than us financially. Rodgers did such a great job with what he had it can be easy to forget that. Early days yet with transfers but he'll be up against it again.
