Starting XI for next season, your prediction.

[cityboy1]

Based on one pre season match and on the assumption that Aguero will sign for us and Tevez will be gone and that Nasri deal will be held up till last day of window.

.....................Hart

Richards.....Kompany...Lescott....Cliche

...........NDJ............Yaya

..................Silva

Aguero.....Dzeko.......Balotelli

A little worried with Taylor as backup keeper, think we should move for a more experienced second keeper if Shay leaves.

Squad showing some great depth!

A fantastic line-up!
But will Mancini opt for just one defensive mid, á la Barcelona, or will he go with two? Then again, DeJong is like two normal players packed into one.

This line up is probably the best line-up we can put out on the opening day (assuming aguero and nasri sign/only signings) but whether we will or not is another question. I hope Mancini does as i think it would blow swansea away. Also i don't think it's one defensive midfielder as Yaya will do his fair share and i'm sure aguero and nasri and silva will do there bit in the midfield to help defend.

Just had a change of heart and put Balotelli in as for some reason that i can't put my finger on i just think this will be the season the real Balotelli shows up on the pitch and starts to bag the goals

Quite right mate. I guess a better way to put it, is will he play 4-1-2-3, or 4-2-1-3.

Also agree on Mario: I think we are very lucky to have both him and Dzeko on out squad and both of them will be very important for us the coming season.
