It's forgotten that 12 months ago City had one of the best teams in the Premiership, but then we had a very disruptive Summer with the fall out with Toure. I thought Kompany was very weak too. However I think Kompany will be back, and City too.
Bony will be a force next season with Aguero and Sterling. And Silva. And Navas. The attacking options are frightening (could add Toure and Nasri too!)
Arsenal look like a very strong squad and Cech will make them stronger. I think they may have the belief that this is their time now. If they get a striker then I think City and Arsenal are the two stand out teams. I can't see Chelsea doing it again. Hazard is special. But he and Terry carry that team, and Terry can't defy age forever. Fabregas and Costa are not as good as claimed.
Last season we had a lot of disruption with Toure, then Mangala, Fernando, Bony settling in. This season we will be a lot stronger. I am bothered a little about our fitness from the off. The world tour is a stupid idea and I bet the players hate it. I would. I'd just want to train. And the other doubt is Toure. But we have alternatives if his legs have really gone. Last season I thought it was his mind as much as anything. We'll know straightaway, and the coaching staff probably already know.
