Manchester City, this year if
Aspire to league after several failures
After the arrival of Sheikh Al Mubarak, Manchester City has been the best entertainer in the market but still the Manchester team has still not reach the agreed targets. This year, with Mancini and the new signings the definitive leap in quality seems to repeat the feat that got the Spurs last season to break the''Big Four.''

After the failure of last season where despite being the year fighting for the Champions League, lost his place in the last game against Tottenham. That same year came Tevez, Adebayor, Lescott, etc. but the poor performance with Mark Hughes was a stone too big for Mancini took the reins earlier this year, their arrival brought more reliability and better performance and even better game, but the goal of ousting the''Big Four''is went to Tottenham. This year with the magnificent reinforcements did not doubt that insurance will be there and also opted for the Premier to the end. Now we analyze the strengths of the''blue sky'':
In goal there is a mix of youth and experience. Shay Given was the starter last season and his experience and safety is a good reason why Mancini may opt for its title but on the other hand we have the Joe promising Hart, who after his transfer to Birmingham (a revelation of past campaign) has matured and has become the best goalkeeper in English without a doubt. Mancini may be decanted for him but we will see at the end happens. After the problems faced by the Italian last season with the goalkeepers this season but has chosen to cover the goal with the return of Hart and continuity of Given, Stuart Tayor competitiveness and experience will provide the young Hart. Yet Mancini also looked at the market and has been strengthened with the young Christian Bonilla, Ecuador's military in the reserve team. Seven tenths
On defense, the sides have been strengthened with the arrival of Kolarov and Boateng. The arrival of the Serbian course could send a Bridge to Anfield but the Italian coach wants a long staff to address the three competitions, Kolarov holder is outlined in the left lane while Boateng and Zabaleta will compete for the right but perhaps the German head start and it's direct request for Mancini. In the center of the base remains unchanged, a solid and secure couple who share Lescott and Kolo Toure, two of the safest plants in the Premier, in the bedroom of these there is little reliability but the versatile Richards (which may also act in the lateral) and the young Nedum Onuoha will occupy, Mancini may have to consider signing a spare for these two but you can also choose to play with Kompany on the shaft. It's still a very solid defense and sure will talk about. Eight tenths
In midfield the signing of Yaya Toure resolves a position where he had last year in the winter market signing Patrick Vieira. Ivory Coast is expected as the owner but the named Vieira, the runner-up Nigel De Jong and Belgium's Vincent Kompany wait their chance. A little more advanced Gareth Barry will act to create the team play without much spark or genius as Ireland though fixed in the side, his consistency and delivery are well worth it, though perhaps that is another position to strengthen by Mancini though of course having to Silva , Tevez and Adebayor will not be a serious problem even if David Silva left the band and placed behind the great tips to find the final pass. In the bands Wright Phillips and Adam Johnson are the daggers after his magnificent season, Johnson hopes to return to show that he has talent enough to play on this team. 9 / 10
On the tip of the''attack''Apache Tevez will be a flagship (top scorer last season the team) after improving their record scorer in the first season with the''companion''sky blues will always sensational Emmanuel Adebayor fear gives the defenses of the Premier. Your relay will be the striker Santa Cruz barely had opportunities last season and Craig Bellamy clear that their role was secondary and fully in line with the mobility, and it highlights goalscorer (10 goals). Still do not know what to do with Robinho but would be a good dose of magic attack very effective even though you may need a replacement for Santa Cruz youth and if eventually passed on to Robinho. 8.5 / 10
