Man City next season...

they cant hijack the lewandowski deal because he doesnt wants to join them...

Money is a powerful thing, my friend.

Money is a powerful thing, my friend.

of course but his agents think he would earn more money staying in germany.

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

They could just go with Dzeko and Aguero for one spot. They've only needed so many forwards because they were playing with 2 but a move to a traditional 4-2-3-1 with Silva behind the striker would make sense as well.

[Shane 2,275]

Can see them seriously declining next season to be honest.

Absurd amount of money for Fernandinho. They lack depth in their defence. Hart is mistake prone these days. In the middle, Yaya Toure is declining and seemed to go off the pace since he came back from the ACON last January, other then that, Fernandinho is average, Milner and Barry are average footballers and Rodwell and Garcia hardly set the world on fire.

Up front, They never give Dzeko the chance he deserves, Silva has slipped wayyy behind Mata, In my opinion they signed Navas about 3 years too late. He is an explosive winger who relys on his pace. He is also 28 in November, so thats going to slip. Aguero only got 12 goals last season but i'd expect him to be decent again this season.

And all in all, I don't rate Pellegrini. Already proved at Real Madrid he couldn't handle big ego's.

I'm not saying this because I'm a Chelsea fan, but looking at it from the outside, I'd be very worried if i was a City fan. They really need to make sure they get Isco, a top class Striker and in my opinion, another midfielder, and a cover/challenging for starting centre half.

I am not scared. They spend so much on Fernandinho, he is not very good, I think. Already he is 28, only 5 matches for Brazil, 8 years in Shakthar and nobody buy him... Maybe he is not bad, but not a 30 million player, I think.

I think Man United will be the tough team to beat. City we maybe lose games, but still I think we finish on top of them in the table. They sell Tevez now also, so they need one more good striker...

[NishC300 1,865]

Well they won't have Tevez

[The Mak 4,459]

City haven't really strengthened yet as far as I can see. Isco would've definitely been their biggest signing and improvement so far and they missed out on him! Brilliant!

Now all we need is for them to miss out on Cavani, or better still, we beat them to him and we're very much in the hunt for the title next season!

P.S. The fate of Torres is also a big factor.

[different level 1,056]

Well they've sold Tevez to Juventus and now you can expect them to stick their noses into our business for a new striker.

[Noni Zaharia 14]

Tevez was a trouble maker so I think Man City did a good job to sell him...

[dave30 728]

Their possible starting 11, with Nasri on call for some extra creativity and Negredo and Dzeko to come of the bench if they're struggling for goals. They're starting to take shape.

[Special Juan 28,117]

It looks good on paper, but football is not played on paper. Negredo is a decent player, nothing more, jovetic is un proven in this league and will probably be there best purchase IMO. I don't mind Navas but looks a polished Craig Bellamy to me and Fernandinho is a super player.

If we sign Rooney I think we will be a much better side, and even better with de Rossi, but in all this I think we have made one better signing than anything they have........he's called Mourinho!!!!

[1chelsea 864]

Man city lose 2:1

[didierforever 7,349]

they are starting to look absolutely brilliant... great bench too...

[Special Juan 28,117]

Expensive bench, with that comes a massive test for a manager to keep players happy.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

It's a hell of a team. I think they need to buy a centre-back and they're set for the next season.

Miles better squad than United. I'd say ours is possibly better but that Fernandinho - Toure midfield blows ours out of the water. We'll have trouble with them again if we don't improve our midfield. God Chelsea just buy a fucking midfielder, it's been like 3 years now.
