Manchester City
Say what you want about Mancini maybe not being quite up to it, I think they've pretty much got the best squad in the league right now.
This front four has the potential to be absolutely devastating. --------Balotelli Silva----Tevez---Aguero I think it will be between them and the mancs for the title. |
That front four will never be played. No defence, and Tevez won't stay.
They are a good team on paper but that's where it ends. I'll stick my neck out and say they'll drop out of the top 4, and Mancini will be sacked. |
I fancy them for the title.
|
Don't think they've got a chance with Mancini as manager.
Fancy them to be an epic failure this season. It's red mancs or Chelsea for the title. |

Balotelli didn't show anything exceptional in terms of form in the league last season and i've seen little in pre-season to show that will change, Tevez will most likely be off which leaves that front 4 looking pretty different, still not convinced by Dzeko either
I think that they'll be top 4 again but if Tevez does leave then it will be interesting to see how they cope without him |
They will never win the league under Mancini.

They got so much depth and quality that even Hodge would lead them to the title.. |
They had the best squad last season and they have the best squad this season.
I have my doubts about Mancini. I guess it depends on whether he's willing to unleash the attacking potential of the team. The other issue will be keeping the squad from rupturing apart off the field. But with the money they've spent they should have the best and bigger squad. |

It'll be how they blend their midfielders and attackers. |

I don't see any problem with the way Mancini built the squad. He built from the back as most managers do. He more or less copied the way we played with Rafa as manager. As I said before. They now have the pace in Aguero to be able to play the Rafa system much better than they have done before. Rock solid centrally. Great attacking fullbacks and pace upfront. |
The only thing they don't have is a midfield playmaker. They will probably get that when they sign up Nasri if they do that.

Kolarov is a weak link.
Utter shite last season. |

Doesn't have great vision or long range passing. But does have pace, power and goal threat. |

Reasons why? Strikers Emmanuel Adebayor Mario Balotelli Craig Bellamy Edin Dzeko Roque Santa Cruz Alex Tchuimeni-Nimely Carlos Tevez Kun Aguero |

I just hope we can gatecrash the party. Fancied us a few weeks ago to be up there but think our window has just petered out somewhat and there are still big questions about our strength in depth IMO. That could change if we bring in a couple more quality additions before the window closes though. |

Do you seriously think having a shit load of strikers, a few of which are excellent, is going to hamper them? :D

Quote:
Look at the midfield.. Who are you playing up front and who is sitting on the bench? Give me a City Starting formation for next season.. |
I've heard it all now. A team's achilles heel is that they have too many good forwards :haha:
Not hard really, if Tevez stays, they can play him through the middle with Aguero and Balotelli either side. If he goes, Dzeko can come in. You're saying you'd prefer the striker options we have, with N'Gog as 4th choice? :haha: |
Quote:
There are only so many players you can stick on the bench.. Is our Achilles heel The Midfield then? |
I've honestly not got a clue what you're on about. What does our achilles heel have to do with Man City FC? This is utterly bizarre and random.
If you think City's weakness is that they're 'too good' then...erm...ok. As for squad - you think their squad is weak?? :haha: Whatever your point is, it's as clear as porridge right now. I'd rather have their squad than ours. |
They won't win the league. Their squad has depth but they have massively overspent on decent players rather than top class players. They won't win the league under Mancini anyway.
They will finish 3rd or 4th. Top 4 will be Us, Mancs, Chelsea and City |
Quote:
But in a few wrong places.. You are saying that because of their strike force, they may win the league.. Yet no mention at all of anyone's defence.. No where have I seen a positive about a DEFENCE.. So what is it....They score 5, we score 3? |
Quote:
You said "reason why" (they wont win it) "Strikers" Which is a bit :rash: They wont win the league because they've got loads of strikers? Utterly bizarre. If you'd said 'they dont have enough depth or quality in defence', then that would have been fair enough. But to suggest they wont win the title because their striking options are 'too' plentiful or too good, is just bizarre. |

City have too many strikers.. (if there is such a thing) they will not sit them all on the bench.. Unless they want to stay there and pick up a wage then they will struggle.. |
Quote:
Is Balotelli or Dzeko better than N'Gog? Do they have better depth than us? Is answering those questions honestly 'renouncing' our own team? :haha: They have a better squad than ours and i'd rather we had the kind of strength in depth that they do. Radical thinking there(!) Quote:
They will pick 4 or 5 for their PL squad of 25. And guess what, all 4 or 5 of their's will be good quality players, whereas we get to turn to N'Gog :haha: The likes of Bellamy, Santa Cruz etc wont even be in their 25 man squad - how will they 'struggle' exactly because of that? Will we struggle because we cant field 8 midfielders? |
