Adebayooooor to Citeh??

Hughes is a great manager.

I don't know about great, but he's a good deal better than many on here think. The problem is, it's going to take a great manager to sort this out. My City-supporting relations aren't so much concerned that Hughes won't be up to the job as whether anyone will be.

Bottom line is, all their money has got them just one world-class player, and he's a fruitcake who only turns up for about half the games. He's either brilliant or a passenger. As for the rest, the quality's very variable indeed.

You can't be on about Adebayor, surely? After all he only got 10, yes 10 Premiership goals last season, 16 in total. And that's for Arsenal, one of the most free flowing attacking teams in the league and the world.

Yeah cause he was injured for a lot of it.

To me they will play a poor mans Barcelona formation with

Robinho - Adebayor - Tevez

and then Barry, Ireland and probably De Jong in midfield.

Pretty decent if you ask me...

Adebayor: What an idiot! In his interview on Sky after signing saying "I love this club!"

Moron!

They already have (on paper) the best strike force in the prem. Even if Rooney & Berby or Torres & Gerrard are the best pairing, if one of them gets injured they won't be as much of a force, whereas City can choose from 5000 strikers. They've got midfield pretty much sorted, buying Barry, De Jong, someone else who escapes me, as well as having SWP, Ireland and Petrov. Now they're going for defenders in the mould of Terry and Lescott. They might not get them, but they'll get someone blinding eventually, cos Everton surely wouldn't turn down a 30m bid for Lescott.

Once they get the defenders they want, i can't see how they won't be fighting for the league within the next couple of seasons. I know it takes time to gel, but those players are too good not to. And they will carry on buying even better until Sheikh Mybooty dies or something.

Fair play though, if it was us (and i'm very happy with Levy btw), i'd still be utterly excited and nervous about the whole situation. We all shot our load when Davids signed, and he was way past his prime (legend though), Imagine if we signed a Gerrard or an Iniesta etc, we'd go into spasm. City fans must be in absolute heaven, if not a tad cautious.
