Could City be the club to break into top 4?
Man City have been surrounded by media speculation all summer about there ownership issue and how they might not have funds to compete in the market but despite all that they have spent heavily to improve the side on top of the additions Sven made last summer. It was clear the side they had before hughes joined was a top 10 side but with additions Hughes is making they may well go a step higher.
Defensively I dont think they could be stronger especially as they have richards and Dunne partnership but with Addition of Kompany and Ben haim they have increased competition. Zabelata on his way who is a brilliant full back, hes reminiscant of most south americans full backs who likes to get forwards, Left back is key to complete the defence.
Midfield is almost to the level required to meet main sides, Swp whose close to signing will be an exciting dimension and imagine pace him and petrov have for the wings with Elano as playmaker and Youngster Johnson doing holding role.
Final problem remains scoring the goals, midfield has been contributing but Jo is unproven and will take time and hughes need an experienced partner if they want to achieve dream of champions league.
