Bobby Reid from Bristol must be due a call up to one of the Premiership teams in January windows.

Premier League clubs are braced for digital giants such as Amazon and Facebook to gate-crash the bidding for streaming rights when the next TV deal is negotiated in the coming months, according to Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman of Manchester United.

The news could result in another huge rise in the broadcast income for clubs, which would risk driving transfer fees and player wages even higher, and pose a significant threat to the stranglehold Sky and BT Sport have over domestic TV rights given the colossal financial might of the new media providers.

Facebook underlined its determination to enter the sports market with a failed £444 million bid for digital rights to cricket’s Indian Premier League earlier this month while Amazon has paid £37 million to live stream the 10 Thursday night NFL American football games this season. Google and Netflix have also been touted as potential bidders for Premier League rights.

The existing three-year deal, which runs until the end of next season, is worth £8.6 billion, about £3.5 billion of which is accounted for by overseas rights, with the auction for the 2019-2022 due to start later this year and completed around February.

The £500 million a weeks wages for a player is just around the corner.

Evens for Man City to win the Premier.

Feel for some of their top players who have to sit on the bench,surely you lose your edge over a period just warming your bum.

For me, Chelsea at 5/1 must be a bargain as part of the three-horse race.

Took WBA @ 10000/10 who ever thought that Leicester could win it.

Realistically no team are going to touch Man City this season. Man United fans getting all excited but they have played noone as yet. Their first test comes agains Liverpool in a few weeks. Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal will all beat them.

Mou is a difficult person to like, I agree (the business side of him - not sure what he's like sociably). He sometimes make me cringe TBH. But he is one bloody good manager. No one can take that away from him.

Chelsea reminded everyone that they are serious contenders with their performance yesterday. 3 horse race?

3 horse race?

Man City, Chelsea and ??

United i presume. They have played nobody yet.

Man City have played Liverpool and play Chelsea next week
Spurs have played Chelsea
Chelsea have played Spurs and Arsenal and play Man City next week
Liverpool have played Arsenal and Man City

Man United have played nobody. They did play Stoke and drew with them. Chelsea hammered Stoke 4-0. If anybody thinks that Man United will win the league then they are delusional. They parked the bus at Southampton for heavens sake.
