I was watching You're On Sky Sports last night, and they mentioned City and some bloke was questioning these so called World Class players they've brought, so I was curious and checked out their squad, and I tell ya what, if they don't even challenge the Top 4 this season, then Hughes better pack his bags. The XI they could pick, could be:
--------------------------------------------Given---------------------------------------------
---------Richards--------------Dunne---------Toure-----------------Bridge------------
------------------Wright-Phillips----------Barry----------Ireland-------------------------
------------------------------------------Robinho--------------------------------------------
------------------------------Tevez-------Adebayor/Santa Cruz---------------------------
That is one heck of a side, would be awesome on FM08. I reckon they might have a shout at breaking into the Top 4, would be a massive underachievement if they don't I feel. Even the Citeh haters have to admit that's a bloody solid XI. Only problem could be a lack of midfield back-up, what with Johnson, Petrov, Kompany and De Jong the only real back-ups. A few injuries to key players and they'd be pretty screwed. If the majority of that XI stays fit for most of the season though, you'd have to say they'd be a good shout to break into the Top 4.
