C.Ronaldo and Kaka signings don`t make them the team to beat or something like that
There are issues that you need to take into account
C.Ronaldo loves to play the ball and sometimes even too much there might be a problem with his connection with Kaka
also there could be an ego problem
another issue that should be taken into account is that they could play too much of an attacking football that would leave their defence without needed support
About Barca it is obvious that they are still way ahead of us after all they played great football outplayed Man Utd in the final for 90 min and has mr assists Xavi+ the world best player Messi the most underated and one of the most dangerous players in the world Iniesta and they have old but still great Henry and if they smart they would keep Eto as well
not to mention Villa and Ribery are linked with them
right now I would say that the rankings are like this
1) Barca
Chelsea Liverpool Inter Juventus (its hard to say how good we are right now)
Milan are way behind right now after losing Kaka and Maldini without getting proper replacements

Liverpool are not as strong a first team or squad as Manchester United, or perhaps Chelsea. I would replace Liverpool with Man U in that list and I would also include Real Madrid, who may well suffer with problems in defence, but their offensive power now is magical, the stuff of dreams.
I am delighted with the capture of Felipe Melo. A cultured cruncher with a temper.
If we manage to play Momo, Melo, Diego, Giovinco and Marchiso in the same starting XI I would be ecstatic. But still, with the options we now have, I must be happy, and am.
Not exactly a transfer campaign pouring resources into all of our trouble areas of the squad, but nonetheless, the players who have come in are quality, and two of them, Diego and Melo, could become true Juve greats for many years to come...

Melo: My Juve can win it all! Tuesday 14 July, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felipe Melo will put pen to paper today and explains why he chose Juventus. “We can win everything, including the Champions League.”
The Fiorentina midfielder was very close to joining Arsenal, but opted for a switch to Turin worth around £21m.
“I am very excited to be here and the enthusiasm of the fans gives me strength. We have to work to bring Juventus to the very top. If I don’t win, then I get angry,” he said.
“Scudetto and Champions League, we can win it all, but to get there it’s going to take a lot of hard work. I thank everyone at the club who wanted to bring me here. I can’t wait to get started.”
Melo’s price-tag rose considerably after his performances in the Confederations Cup, but when he arrived in Serie A a year ago he was far from the Selecao’s plans.
“Some laughed when I said I wanted to play for Brazil, but I am determined. Thanks to the faith of Coach Carlos Dunga, I did it.”
The midfielder waves goodbye to Fiorentina and reveals he will write an open letter to the fans, director Pantaleo Corvino and Coach Cesare Prandelli.
“I must thank the supporters for all they have given me and will always keep them in my hearts. It’s a shame to go and I understand many will be angry, but this was the right thing to do.
“It also proved to be good for the club, as Fiorentina received a lot of money and can now reinvest them. They will do well, as they always do.
“Corvino discovered me and I owe him a great deal, while Prandelli launched me on to the world stage.
“I am truly a happy man. I have a wife, three kids and I play for Juve.”

I forgot Madrid in that list
Liverpool are a very good team and they are as good as last season
Man Utd have weaken themselved by selling Ronaldo so they would be a lot weaker
Chelsea are a good team but I doubt Ancelotti could do what Hiddink did
as for Arsenal a team we didn`t talk about they are below us on par with Milan and a bit below a weakend Man Utd
