Manchester City

Jovetic is the biggest surprise for me though, I thought he'd be ideal for them, but he looks useless. I think he needs to get out of there. I'd take him in an instant. He'd flourish here.

If he could time his injuries right, he and Sturridge could take half a season each!

I'd avoid purely down to his abysmal injury record.

[Pablo]

I'd still take a gamble on him. We do love an injury ravaged forward after all

[Maxiedge]

I think it depends on who else is available but he should definitely be in our thoughts. Class when fit.

Manuel Pellegrini looks likely to continue as Manchester City manager, in part due to the lack of suitable candidates to replace him this summer.

Serious questions are being asked of Pellegrini after another chastening defeat by Barcelona in the Champions League and what has so far been a weak defence of the Premier League title.

But although there is deep concern at the Etihad about City’s lack of progress this season, it is understood there are no plans to sack him at the end of the campaign. However, Pellegrini’s position would be untenable if his team finish outside the top four.

The club are already working on summer transfer targets identified by the Chilean — primarily Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba — and the feeling is that he will survive into the final year of his three-year contract as City wait for No 1 target Pep Guardiola to end his spell at Bayern Munich.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti have been touted as possible replacements, though Simeone is not liked by the City board, while Ancelotti’s links with the club are, according to sources, the result of allies putting his name forward as he looks to find a way out of an increasingly unhappy spell at Real Madrid.

Guardiola talks regularly with City chief executive Ferran Soriano and football director Txiki Begiristain, though any switch is unlikely until 2016 when the Spaniard’s contract expires.

City, meanwhile, could lose highly-rated head of youth Patrick Vieira. The ex-Arsenal star is out of contract in the summer and no talks about an extension have taken place.

Manuel Pellegrini ""Next season we won't have any restrictions so we will be in the same position that all the other English clubs,And that will allow them to make bids for players like Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley or Jack Wilshere while Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Wolfburg's Kevin De Bruyne are also on their radar.

We do need English players, we need good players, so it is important after the season has finished to think about what we are going to do.

....So expect both Chelsea and City to splash out big on players as well as Utd,wouldn't surprise me to see city make a double bid for Sterling and Henderson

[Fosterbloke]

Doesn't mean **** if they are weak mentally. Ever season, people fear the worst saying that the top four will strengthen and get beyond us.

[Muddled]

Pellegrini won't be there anyway.

[Red_Polo]

Next season we won't have any restrictions so we will be in the same position that all the other English clubs

Sure you will

bit like LFC

[Chazza]

Imploding.

[ChesterDave]

Costing me a bloody fortunae too

First was offside though.

[BobTheCharmer]

Got to hope arsenal keep winning, utd finishing second would just rub it in. The quality of this league is ****. Its hyped beyond belief, but its ****.

[Buzzo]

Yep - this has to be one of the poorest seasons I can remember. No standout performers, teams or games. Chelsea will win it easily by being the only team to be better than mediocre.

[RichC]

On another note I think they'll be looking for a new manager for next season.

[G]

Why do these ****ers all have the seasons of their lives when vying for the title with us and then die on their arse when we are nowhere near.
