RAG: People's main reason for fearing City in the coming years is the budget available to them - they're the richest club in the world and can outbid everybody else in terms of transfer fee and wage. The point I was making was, despite investment of over £200m since the Abu Dhabi group took over, they're nowhere near where they need to be. And a lot of that money has been wasted, £24m for Lescott, £26m for Adebayor, £35m for Robinho, £18m for Jo, £18m for Cruz, £12m for Barry. If they're simply going to spend those sorts of sums on those sorts of players, then no, we have nothing to fear.

Would Yaya get into our team in a 442? I think he'd play here and there, but I don't think he'd imrpove us a lot, I don't think he's any better than an on-form Carrick or Anderson, and he's certainly not worth the money City paid for him.

Silva may be more consisent in a different league but the PL is completely different. Obertan is a raw talent, if we can get the best out of him he'll be very good for us in the coming years, of that I have no doubt. Silva has a lot of talent from what I've seen of him too, but there's no guarantee he'll realise that. We paid £28m for Veron and he flopped massively.

I'd be surprised if they didn't bring in a goalkeeper or defender myself, considering the problems they had when Given got injured last season, but it takes a lot more than a group of 11 players to win the title. You need strength in depth (something they don't have), they need a quality manager (Something I don't believe Mancini to be), and they need a strong mentality. Look at us in 91/92, looked to be cruising to the title and when we just bottled it and threw it away.

All City have is a lot of big money signings (not very good ones), a lot of big ego's, and a lot of players who are there purely for the money. It's a circus show and will continue to be so for the forseeable future.

Mancini will also most probably be sacked this season if City aren't competing at the top end aswell. I'd be hugely surprised if he lasted a full season. They're a long way from competing at the top end of the table in my opinion.

As it stands it's:

Man Utd
Chelsea

Arsenal
Spurs
City
Villa
Everton
Liverpool

Everybody else.

City will hover around in the second group. I fully expect 4th place to be as wide open as it was last year.

[strike]WAG[/strike] RAG OF THE DAY

yaya not as good as anderson or carrick..... LOL.

That is funny. Paul Bosvelt was a better player than "The Predator" is. In fact he'd probably outshine Anderson even today.

Cracked me up as well. Have these idiots actually seen Yaya play? Must have done, as he destroyed their midfield in the champs league final....Selective memory, maybe!

i bet the rest of the rags listen to this bellend aswell, the fact that he's put them above chelsea shows the scum tinted glasses he's wearing.

Can someone keep somesort of portfollio on all this shit they are spoutin. After we have done what they seem to think is impossible, it would be good for someone to sign up to their forum and post these stupid comments so they can see how wrong they were..

it is going to be very interesting to see how they continue to maintain these 'beliefs'.. if as and when they slowly realise their greatest fear is upon them. My guess is the excuses and fantasies will get more and more outrageous up to the point they flip and start demanding baconface gets new players in and splash the cash to compete. Thats the point it will start to get really interesting.

Still we better just hold our breath until we actually have something worth shouting about.

I agree with him. I really wish Bobby had signed Carrick and Obertan instead of Silva and Yaya.....

That's so unusual for even the daftest fella to get absolutely everything wrong. But he made it!

Obertan...... hahahahahahahahahahaha....... ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....

That poor kid should be in a mental home!

ha ha oberton ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Is he perhaps Gary Neville's nephew? This lad shows quality, maybe we could invite him for next Jimmy Grimble 2nd movie as an actor!

He played centre half in the champs league final mate, but yeah, your point stands, he was immense.

Fucking rags make me howl... and then sometimes they make me think some of what they say is true...

the only comment from me can be: LOL!

Who's the Gimp in the pic with Nathan?

Obertan. hahahahaha
