Arsenal
Transfer kitty: £30m Never big spenders, they need to push the boat out to keep Arsène Wenger happy. He fancies Franck Ribery, Marseille’s attacking midfielder, who would fill the gap created by the departures of Julio Baptista and Freddie Ljungberg. The team lacks width, which could be supplied by Florent Malouda, of Lyon. A centre-half will be needed if Philippe Senderos goes to Juventus, in which event Wenger could rival Chelsea and Newcastle for Bolton’s Tal Ben Haim.
Aston Villa
Transfer kitty: £25m Villa fell away after a promising start under Martin O’Neill, who has identified the lack of a reliable striker as the reason. To put it right he is pursuing Craig Bellamy, Jermain Defoe and David Nugent, but has serious rivals for all three. Portugal’s Antunes, who plays for Pacos de Ferreira, is lined up to replace Jlloyd Samuel at left-back.
Birmingham City
Transfer kitty: £15m Is there enough money available to halt the yo-yoing between Premiership and Championship? Steve Bruce will have to do it on the cheap and is thinking in terms of Mark Viduka, Joey Barton and George Boateng. Nicklas Bendtner is going back to Arsenal as a fourth striker, although Fabrice Muamba is staying.
Blackburn Rovers
Transfer kitty: £20m Mark Hughes intends to keep Benni McCarthy and wants Craig Bellamy back from Liverpool to play alongside him, but money talks, and Chelsea will offer plenty. Jason Roberts and Morten Gamst Pedersen are expected to leave. The pressing need is for a constructive midfielder; Jason Koumas, of West Brom, is the preference.
Bolton Wanderers
Transfer kitty: £15m Little Sammy Lee will not have a harder act to follow than the “Big” one. Having released Henrik Pedersen, Quinton Fortune and David Thompson, he is resigned to losing Tal Ben Haim and maybe Nicolas Anelka and El-Hadji Diouf. By way of reinforcements, he is looking at Watford’s Marlon King and Robbie Fowler, freed by Liverpool. He wants Jlloyd Samuel, from Villa, and is pursuing Gelson Fernandes, FC Sion’s Swiss midfielder.
Chelsea
Transfer kitty: £40m Roman Abramovich wants to limit his largesse this year, but the TV money is there to spend, plus anything recouped from summer sales. Blackburn’s Benni McCarthy looks like the productive partner Didier Drogba needs. Tal Ben Haim, from Bolton, and Alex (PSV Eindhoven) can supply the defensive cover that was lacking this season and Steve Sidwell (Reading) will bring the midfield back up to strength after the departure of Claude Makelele and Geremi.
Everton
Transfer kitty: £20m David Moyes will continue to perform footballing miracles on a tight budget. David Nugent, of Preston and England, is wanted to replace James Beattie, who had a poor season, and the manager who tamed Duncan Ferguson will have another go with the walking problem that is Joey Barton. Another target is Kieran Richardson, surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
Fulham
Transfer kitty: £15m A desperately ordinary team owed its survival to playing Liverpool’s reserves a fortnight ago, and the omens are not good for supporters, with Claus Jensen going back to Denmark, saying he couldn’t stomach Lawrie Sanchez’s long-ball game. Likely signings? David Healy, the Leeds striker, and Liverpool’s
Liverpool
Transfer kitty: £50m The new owners have pledged to spend, and there is the fortune made from the Champions League run available. A prolific goalscorer is the priority, and Valencia’s David Villa has the right pedigree. The Ukraine striker Andriy Voronin is on his way from Bayer Leverkusen and there is confirmed interest in Daniel Alves, Sevilla’s adventurous Brazilian right-back, and Simao, the Benfica winger.
Manchester City
Transfer kitty: depends who buys the club and when. Just about everybody at Eastlands will be glad to see the back of Joey Barton. Micah Richards and Trevor Sinclair may also go. New signings rest with the new manager.
Manchester United
Transfer kitty: £50m The champions don’t need much, but that won’t stop them gilding the lily. Owen Hargreaves is on his way from Munich for £18m and most of the rest could go on Tottenham’s Dimitar Berbatov, Atletico Madrid’s Fernando Torres or Samuel Eto’o of Barcelona, the 20-goals-a-season striker they lack. Sir Alex Ferguson also covets Gareth Bale, Southampton’s left-back prodigy, and Micah Richards, as Gary Neville’s long-term successor.
Middlesbrough
Transfer kitty: £25m With Mark Viduka and Malcolm Christie going, Boro will need a striker or two. Their principal target is Reggina’s Rolando Bianchi, but Juventus are interested in him at £6m. Gareth Southgate may have to lower his sights and settle for Arsenal’s Jeremie Aliadiere or Diomansy Kamara, of West Brom. Other possibilities are “Bad Boy” Barton and Russell Anderson, the Aberdeen defender.
Newcastle United
Transfer kitty: £30m “Big Sam” Allardyce left Bolton Wanderers because of the club’s lack of spending power, which has never been a problem at Newcastle. Hang on to your hats at St James’. Just about everybody could leave the club, from Titus Bramble to Michael Owen, clearing the decks for a grittier team in the manager’s own image. Tal Ben Haim from Bolton, Portsmouth’s Sol Campbell and Mark Viduka could be just the start of a busy summer.
Portsmouth
Transfer kitty: £20m Harry Redknapp, the archetypal wheeler-dealer, will be busy again. With strikers Kanu, Benjani and Lomano LuaLua apparently on the way out, Pompey are courting Jermain Defoe, Darren Bent and Mark Viduka. On a more prosaic level, they are looking to exchange Sol Campbell for Newcastle’s Titus Bramble. Freddie Ljungberg, no longer wanted at Arsenal, is another target, as is the more exotic Sulley Muntari, a Ghanaian midfielder playing for Udinese.
Reading
Transfer kitty: £15m
Steve Coppell, the manager of this (and last) season, is taking a well-earned holiday in the Far East before going into the market. In his absence a £1m deal has already been done for Kalifa Cisse, a tall, powerful French midfielder from Portugal's Boavista, seen as the replacement for Chelsea-bound Steve Sidwell.
Sunderland
Transfer kitty: £30m
Having got them up as champions, can Roy Keane, the Pied Piper who has taken to management like a natural, succeed where so many others have failed and keep them up? He won’t lack money, needs centre-halves and intends to raid his old club, Manchester United, for Wes Brown and/or John O’Shea. He is interested in Mark Viduka, could see himself taming Joey Barton and is being linked with Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Tottenham
Transfer kitty: £30m
Martin Jol has spent more than most during the past two years and will be at it again. He has pledged to keep Dimitar Berbatov at the club, but Mido and Jermain Defoe could be on their way, in which case expect moves for Darren Bent, Mark Viduka or possibly Serbia’s Nikola Zigic of Racing Santander. Also under active consideration are Viduka’s Middlesbrough teammate, Stewart Downing, and young Gareth Bale of Southampton.
West Ham United
Transfer kitty: £30m
After the Great Escape, the Great Clear-Out. Alan Curbishley’s cull will see the back of Nigel Reo-Coker, Marlon Harewood, Carlton Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Matthew Etherington, Yossi Benayoun, etc. Atletico Madrid want Bobby Zamora, and whither Carlos Tevez? With strikers the priority, the possibilities include Darren Bent, Craig Bellamy and Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer, as well as Barcelona’s Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Wigan Athletic
Transfer kitty: £15m
Is there life after Paul Jewell? The Latics are about to find out. Two of the heroes of their last-day escapology, David Unsworth and Arjan de Zeeuw, have been shown the door and Lee McCulloch is off to Rangers. They need a goalscoring partner for Emile Heskey, who continues to struggle to find the net, and seem sure to rival Fulham for David Healy, from Leeds. Andy Todd, from Blackburn, is earmarked to replace De Zeeuw.
Derby County
Transfer kitty: £20m
Manager Billy Davies admits that Derby have overachieved this season. If reaching the Championship playoff final took them by surprise, it is difficult to see how they can possibly survive in the Premiership should they come out on top against West Bromwich Albion. Davies has built a well-organised side, but will quickly find that £20m - a sizeable sum in English football’s second flight - doesn’t go far. He will need a couple of old heads if Derby are to survive - Sol Campbell is an option, and he may try to prise Wes Brown from Old Trafford.
West Bromwich Albion
Transfer kitty: £20m
Albion are a bigger club than Watford, and they already know what it takes to survive in the Premiership - unfortunately, they discovered that knowledge alone is not enough. In Tony Mowbray, they have one of the brightest coaches about, and he knows how to get by on limited resources. But if you can’t finish in the top two in the Championship, survival at the top level is a big ask. Mowbray has promised Kevin Phillips one more season in the Premiership, but he will need support - from Robbie Fowler? Fulham’s Papa Bouba Diop is a midfield target
