Did the title have you worried for a moment? No, it's not until early 2008, but as Paul Wilson points out in The Observer, just imagine at this same stage of a very close title race next season that teams are about to lose players for up to a month, and what impact that could have ... Chelsea - Drogba, Essien, Geremi, Kalou, Boulahrouz, Obi Mikel Arsenal - Adebayor, Toure, Eboue, Song Portsmouth - Kanu, LuaLua, Benjani Bolton - Faye, Diouf, Fortune Newcastle - Martins, Babayaro Blackburn - McCarthy, Nonda, Mokoena Tottenham - Mido, Ghaly ... and several others, except: Man Utd - ?? Is it too early to start placing bets on next year's title race ...
Liverpool - Sissoko, not too much of a blow as we have Alonso and Gerrard running thnigs in centre midfield, but we'd temporarily lose some depth to our team.
