City still looks vulnerable in defense, looking forward to see Costa destroy Kompany in three weeks.

Kompany is overrated

The only thing i am confident about this season is QPR going back down to the Championship.

You gotta give credit to City, they know how to buy versatile strikers..

Jovetic could end up being the difference in the title race (assuming he stays fit)

Kompany is overrated

Yep, archetype of the players overrated by the PL. The man has never played in a CL quarter-final, always at fault in the do or death with City in this competion. He's a very good CB but not a top one.

Thats not that hard when you have that kind of money to buy them.

Still, even though they have bought a lot of players, they have not made any stupid buys in my opinion.

Ironic statement from a Chelsea fan. Look at our history of strikers since Abramovich...

I know it is. However, they have Dzeko, Jovetic, Aguero, Negredo and the young Guidetti. Has Chelsea ever had so many great strikers in one season?

I noticed him during their preseason. Amazing little player.

I think they have their work cut out for them keeping negredo happy though. He ended the season terribly, but I think he has too much ambition to play second/third fiddle for too long.

And this was city barely out of 2nd gear!!!!

[The Skipper 20,593]

It was like City were playing a mid table team at times.

Liverpool are going to be comedy gold in the Champions League this season.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

What City has are 4 top strikers, all able to score shitload of goals and that will push them to at least 2nd place in league. We have more balance (IMO), but if we wont be able to score (due to Costa bad form, resting etc), against certain teams, very important points will be lost and we could lose title because of that.

Second quality striker is a must.

Pellegrini said last night he needs four strikers, and that's it's a long season. Exactly what I have been saying.

Torres out and buy another. We cannot have two strikers, a minimum of three at least.

Fuck me as far as debuts go last night was a disaster for Moreno and Lovren

Nearly as bad as Jonathan Woodgate scoring an OG and getting sent off on his Madrid Debut.

'Liverpool are not at City and Chelsea’s level yet because the difference between the three clubs is two of them are interested only in buying finished products while the other persists in a policy of pursuing works in progress.'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11055927/Liverpool-have-bought-works-in-progress-Chelsea-and-Manchester-City-have-signed-finished-products.html

So 32 year old Lambert, 26 year old Adam Llallana, 25 year old Dejan Loveren and 24 year old Mario Balotelli, who cost almost £70m between them (and three of whom played at the last world cup, with Llallana only missing out due to injury) are all works in progress?

The delusion continues...
