    Tevez, and possible Silva if he can adapt are their best attacking players but they'll sign a couple more, it'll be interesting how they line up. I can see a 433 formation.

    Barry - Toure - De Jong

    as a midfield three

    With Tevez and Silva either side of a top class striker (or Adebayor!)

      But considering how well Adam Johnson has played since he joined them and the potential he has shown they can't really afford to ruin him now by leaving him out

        I'm not suggesting that Tevez and Silva have to play every game, I'm sure Johnson will get games.

          Likely way for him to get enough games next season is to play on the right wing and in the process send Shaun Wright-Phillips to the bench.

          I'm still pondering how we missed out on Adam...

            most people think adebayor will start on the bench with tevez through the middle and jonhson on the right with city playing an actual 4-3-3 with wide wingers

              That would be an interesting formation. Hopefully it does ****e for them.

                Hope they flop,have massive fall outs and end up mid table.
                You can just see problems with the sort of players they have.

                  Too many alpha males. And Gareth Barry.

                      I agree, it's revolting.
                      .
                      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                        I can't see how this can be affordable. If you have a squad on this sort of money which is what they are moving towards then you are paying about 100m a player over their contract so the first team squad alone will cost a billion.

                        I know they like to waste money but it makes just no sense at all.

                        If I was Torres and went there and Yaya is on 220k I'd be saying I need twice that useless ****er.

                          It cannot be affordable, even if Manchester City win every single game for the next 5 years it isn't affordable. Utter madness.

                            Aren't clubs supposed to be self sustainable by 2012 or something?

                              There is no point discussing how much they turned down. It is disgusting.
