Man City next season...

[GeeMon 34]

anyone else a bit scared of their potential team next season? been on their forums recently and with pellegrini incoming, this would be a very very dangerous team.

the signing of Cavani IMO will be crucial to who wins the title.

We couldnt beat them last season, so if they improve any we will have to improve a great deal to get anything from them.

^^^The Mourinho effect is in itself, the biggest improvement we can have.

[OneMoSalah 8,613]

Yeah exactly what was said above, we struggled this year so if they get Cavani, Isco and Fernandinho were even more fucked.

That's a pretty scary team, and with a proper manager coming in next season it could be title-winning. But it is only scary if the manager can get them playing properly and consistently, Silva has been pretty shocking recently and is still held in high regard because of his first 6 months IMO. Kompany has made a lot of mistakes, Toure sometimes looks like he can't be bothered in the smaller games and Hart has made quite a few errors. So yeah, if their new manager can get the best out of those players then they will be a real force in the CL and PL.

There not better than the Arsenal Jose had to see off the first time.

The "Mourinho effect" will be shit if we have people like Torres and Mikel in our team!

I'm far more concerned about City than I am United.

If we don't bring in 3 or 4 top class signings City will continue to be our bogey team. We can consistently beat or be right there with United, Arsenal, Spurs, ect but City have owned us recently.

Why this is the CHELSEA forum ??

This is not City forum

Can't compare Arsenal to City.

Arsenal never really spend after Roman came.

If they had spend, something else would have been the outcome.

City already have a good squad, and will continue to spend.

Not to mention that their new board members have already impose requirements. For City to win 5 tittles in the next 5 season.

Does Arsenal do that?

No!

So it's a misguided comparison.

we can't discuss our competition? thats absurd.

Everyone knows those players will not be regular players at chelsea.

We've got Mourinho, they've got Pellegrini.

I reckon they've got a great chance of finishing second.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Lmao, "scared"?

We're Chelsea FFS, we aren't scared of anyone.

[Pizy 17,860]

As long as they have Yaya Toure and Tevez I'll still sweat it when we play them. They've dicked us lately.

Looks like Tevez is on his way out at least.

No!

So it's a misguided comparison.

I mean if they start the season with that team above, i was comparing it to the team's Mou had to beat in that season, and the Arsenal team of 2004 comes out better.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

you're assuming Pellgrini will walk in and make them a force.

There's still a lot of ego within that team and it's yet to actually become a 'team'. Pellgrini will face a battle in his first season trying to make them gel together, which isn't going to happen instantly.

[OneMoSalah 8,613]

Oh yeah forgot to mention in my first post, City will probably line up 4-3-3 as that Txiki and other ex-Barca cunt basically wank over Pep Guardiola's 4-3-3 high pressing tiki taka bullshit.
