According to SSN... Tevez wants to go!

I believe the squad, particularly after any summer signings, are good enough to win the league.

However, I wonder if the players have the same belief. I also wonder if there will need to be another gelling period if we bring in 4-6 new players. They still have to get used to each other's game, it's not like slotting in 1 or even 2 new players into a fully established side. We really looked like we were getting it together at the end of last season but until the final 10 or so games we were not showing the true class there is in the "team". I am also still not confident we will get the benefit of the doubt enough times from refereeing decisions to scrape those extra points that seem to fall to Chelsea and the Scum.

Basically my expectation is 2nd/3rd with good cup runs and CL last 16, anything more would be a bonus - I think 2012-13 will be the big push for the PL title (although obviously I'd be ecstatic if we get it next year).

I personally don't hold with this 'Gelling' argument. Footballers should not need months on end to 'gel', it's either there or it isn't, the game is quite simple really and a good manager can exploit speedy players, skilful players etc, to good effect. I have been watching City for over 50 years now and I honestly believe Glory is imminent. Roberto will really go for it this season and I for one can hardly wait.
