Starting XI for next season, your prediction.

[Mad 4 It]

------------------Hart

--Richards--Kompany(c)--Lescott--Kolarov

--------------------De Jong

----------Fabregas--Yaya Toure

------Ronaldo---------------Silva

-----------------Tevez

Bench: Given, Zabaleta, Toure, Milner, Barry, Johnson, Dzeko

Imagine we will not pay 150 mil for 1 player. And imagine Tevez will leave. And imagine we will get 2 starters and a backup player. Then try again!

I think Sanchez Mata and Fab would gives us what we want going forward. Defensively Vertonghen gives us cover at CB and LB.

few spanish speakers in the front line to may make tevez feel a little less home :)

 

[Jumanji]

Our defense will be proficient at English, and our attack, Spanish. :D Tevez certainly won't mind.

Now that is probably one too many. I reckon we will get 3 players if tevez leaves, and 2 if he doesn't.

You have 2 too many. 3 if sTevez leaves, 2 if he stays. You have 4 and Tevez. Not gonna happen.<br /><br />-- Fri May 20, 2011 8:34 pm --<br /><br />

A good go. This looks very probable. I think City is looking to spend a lot, but that lot on a select few. The acquisition of those 3 might cost 90 million.
