Re: Champions League Draw
Dortmund may have Gotze and Lewandowski i dont think i need to name the players that our squad contains. On paper there is still no comparison between us and Dortmund, thats not to say that Dortmund wont be tough to beat i know they will. We should go through this group we are champions of england the toughest league in the world and we have one of the best squads in the world. We need to learn to cope with the strains of European competition and our bread and butter in the league. From your last comment you clearly dont know much about city and our mentality the majority of fans on here will be delighted we get to go to these places and im quietly confident.

Ignoring that though, why would you want a group this hard? With an easier group you get to second round, where you should win. Then you get to play Madrid or Dortmund too. Except then you get a lot more money, a lot more prestige and it's a bigger occasion.
Having a very hard midweek match from the get go is really going to stretch your squad.
Im pretty sure that 'getting to the second round and getting alot more money' isnt really on our minds at this stage, were not exactly short of cash. Weve got a tough group there is no doubting that but look at the destinations, id rather go to amsterdam than romania thanks very much, plus ajax and dortmund may well be champions of their respective leagues but if you compare their squads with ours you could argue this group will be a walk in the park
Well great that you would rather go to Amsterdam than Romania, but there are many great places to visit.
You may not be short of money, but with the FFP laws, getting more money makes it a lot easier to spend money. Considering your transfer window this season, getting more money would be very important.
The last point is horrific. I don't know much about Ajax, but I watched plenty of Dortmund. They are the German champions. They have won back to back championships. They beat Bayern three times last year and won the double. They are going to cause you all sorts of problems. Reus, Gotze, Lewondoski and Guendogan. If I was a fan I would not be disappointed if City failed to qualify and look at it as a chance to win the league.
