I must say being a City fan i am quite looking forward to the coming season. Everyman and his dog now seems to have it in for us which is certainly going to make every game a lot harder to win. Teams like West Ham, Bolton, Portsmouth, etc are going to raise there game against us because of the dosh we have spent bringing players in.
How will Mark Hughes cope now he has brought his own players in, surely this will just ratchet up the tabloid pressure a few notches.
Trouble is it`s going to be very difficult to get a team (especially some players) to gel in a short space of time, the only upside is if a player doesn`t perform there is someone waiting in the wings to take his place.
Jose Mourinho is certainly in la-la land if he thinks City are going to win the prem this year, my guess is he`s only doing it to wind up his old foe SAF, and by all accounts he`s allready like a rattlesnake

I reckon if we`re not in the top 6 at Christmas Sparkie may well be on his way out, which would be a shame as time is needed but rarely given in the prem.
Still think top 4 for is a possibility, most likely at Arsenals expense!
Remember it is City though and us fans are used to ups and downs
