And to celebrate another year of domination in Germany, Bayern takes Lewandosky from BVB.
I fear next year will be even more boring

Yeah, Bundesliga best league OK 
Let's hope EPL and La Liga are as exciting, both were thrillers right to the end, and I can see the top of the two leagues only getting stronger, with United's hope for revival, Liverpool investing in quality depth, Chelsea maybe finally going for that striker, Valencia getting taken over by that billionaire the other day, Barca looking to splash while they can... Should be exciting!

Bayern has "always" dominated in Germany, so this is nothing new. That Dortmund is finally back since the mid 90's is a positive change. Sadly Schalke and especially Stuttgart and HSV are far from what they used to be. Not that it really matters, because nowadays the difference between the big 5 and the rest of the european leagues are such that even teams from the big 5 in a mediocre period can get to CL quarters.
I'm glad to see for once since the early / mid 00's with Valencia and Deportivo that there was some excitement in Spain.. Sociedad not mentioned, not forgotten.. In Premier League there's typically more title candidates, the new thing was the race was so close and that Liverpool was part of it.
Hopefully Monaco will improve in France so they can challenge Paris a little. In Italy it's all gone... bah? I mean they went from the strongest league in the world in the 90's, and even have CL victories up through the 00's, but now they've nothing in Europe and their league is Juventus and all the rest, where if a team has a spectacular season, they get second place, like Roma did, even losing at home against Juventus, who on the same time can struggle against Galatasaray...
No, Italy has been going downwards for long, it's only a few years ago Germany overtook them on their international ranking, and I wonder if they won't soon be nr. 5 now...
Let's have a look: http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2014.html
Well looks like Italy has stabilized somewhat at that fourth spot.. still they're much closer to fifth than third now.

All I see is Spain in the first place, just like in WC/Eurocup

RM better win the finals.
BTW, the Golden Shoe ended being shared by Cristiano and Suarez. A shame that Ronaldo couldn't play the last matches in la Liga, he surely'd have scored some
Still good for both of them.
Edit: Van Gaal appointed as new ManU manager, with Giggs as an assistant manager. Can't be worse than Moyes!

So unexpected!
Also Pinto leaving. Too bad, he always gifted the rival a few goal chances on every match
Oh, and Rafinha and Deoulofeu returning. You will now have to make some space on team too

I don't think we'll need to make too much space, just some routine transfers. We'll probably sell Cuenca and Afellay, injuries unfortunately hurt their careers but I don't see them getting enough playing time to get back in form (and loan deals will just turn them into Bojan), and then we're left with Neymar, Alexis, Pedro, Tello and Delo. We might have to sell Tello, although I really like him so I hope we can keep him or at the very least include a buy-back clause, because he was amazing for us.
In midfield I don't think we need to sell anyone, we have Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta, Song, Busquets, Rafinha and Sergi Roberto, maybe sell Roberto but that's about it.

I would add Song to that list. Alves and Alexis could leave the team too.

I have a bad feeling Song might leave, which sucks because he never got a chance to play in his proper role, that being box-to-box midfielder, and then we're getting linked to players like Vidal or Pogba who do exactly that, why not just play Song? As for Dani, I think he'll stay at least one more season to help with the transition period (Valdes, Puyol, Pinto all leaving, new coach, new GK, etc.) And Alexis is amazing, so I really hope he doesn't leave.

I mentioned Alexis because I've read several rumors about Juventus, and Arsenal too. Bear in mind I also think he is good, and it would be a mistake letting him go.
About Song...to put it simply, he didn't work, and with teams doing a big rework like Barça now there are always players that get kicked in order to have new faces for the fans.
