Liverpool are at the earliest 2-3 years away from being a legit top 3rd/4th contender and that's if the young players develop and they find a legit replacement for Stevie G. Chelsea is a revolving door at manager and has aging stars (which they will replace) and some great young mids, they will always be competitive. Arsenal is a joke, will always be 2nd best or 3rd/4th best for that matter. Their board will never allow them to keep enough top talent to be champions. Spurs are going to lose Bale after this year (unless they make the CL, even then he's probably out), which is basically saying they will lose about 10-15pts per season aka a team fighting for 5th or 6th. City is City, they have the money and will probably be at top of the League next year along with Man U and Chelsea with all others fighting for fourth. Even if Moyes completely screws up, Man U at worst is a team fighting for 2nd-4th.
Some decent points in there but Liverpool being at least 2-3 years from being a contender for 3rd or 4th? No. It's a big if, but if our youth improves and we can cut the dead weight (Downing, Allen, Assaidi) or at least repurpose them and get a couple of mid-tier transfer targets we will challenge for a top 4 spot starting this coming August. A lot of if's but I don't think its entirely pants on head crazy.
