Think we will win the league and go one further in the champions league! Looking forward to what the new season is going to bring and how pep is going to turn our team into a dominant one which has a fighting spirit and a top quality work ethic.

The rebuilding job at City is huge & probably bigger than any of us appreciate.
At least 5 'crack' new players to integrate,new & flexible tactics,big increase in fitness & durability,improvement in attitude & team spirit etc etc.
The disruption caused by the Euros & Copa America will hinder some,if not much,of the time necessary to undertake this essential work with much of the squad.
2016/17 will be a season of consolidation for us & will see another big step up in competition from most teams in the PL.
Pep will not welcome the media agenda nor a resumption of Maureen's mind games which resulted in him needing to take a year off before joining Bayern. Pep is quite a sensitive individual & Maureen will be at it from the off !!
I think we will see steady progress as the season develops and a top 3 or 4 position.
Good luck & best wishes Pep......you'll probably need it.

The rebuilding job isn't THAT big. Two fast fullbacks that can defend well, another striker and a midfield boss like Pogba and we'll blow most teams away.
I expect we're going to be a bit touch and go during the first half of the season, and whilst we'll be able to see glimpses of what Pep is trying to do it won't quite be working yet. The world as his dog will proclaim him a failure . Plenty of stupid headlines like 'Under Pressure Pep' and 'Pep facing player revolt already!!!', will be drowned in a sea of op-eds asking questions like 'Does Pep have much time left?' and 'Pep - Is he over rated because he didn't win the CL 4 times with Bayern?'.. Mourinho at the rags will of course be doing no wrong and is once again the best coach in the world™.
Then things will start falling into place and we'll smash everyone left right and center. The press will conveniently forget all their bullshit predictions made a few months prior, or wave it off with the excuse that 'Well, he should be doing that at a minimum will all the money spent'. We'll probably still fall short in the CL because some ref will fuck us,but people will still use as a stick to beat him with. Fortunately we'll be domestically dominant so anyone with any sanity will be happy as a pig in shit.

At the moment we still have the best team in the PL IMO. They have just hugely underperformed and been allowed to rest on their laurels.
We are going to add the best manager in the world in Pep.
Chelsea and United will be far bigger rebuilding jobs than us. All we need are a few top class additions and we are good to go.

Without over thinking it, I fully expect us to just smash it from Day 1 and I can't wait.

It will be the toughest season the Premier League has seen. For the first time proper competition not dominated by one or two clubs.The TV money has changed everything. It is now much easier for clubs to keep their best players. City will be in transition and right now I would take top four and another trophy. I think Pep's second season will be the big one.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, United will all fight for the top four. I also think Everton, West Ham and Leicester will be up there as well.

So....just 2 full backs who can defend,Pogba & a goal scoring striker 'eh.
Names please.
I admire some of the optimism on here. Some of the squad will not be here,others aren't as good as we or they think they are,others will have to do a hell of a lot better than last season & the new players need to settle in ( it took Merlin till December).
Pep might be good but he's never managed here before. He's gonna have to work miracles for some on here
Welcome & good luck Pep.....you might need it.
