The Rise of the CITIZENS
Leave a commentSeptember 7, 2009 by Archy
With the takeover of the AbuDhabi group,much was expected of Manchester City last time around only to have a mediocre if not a dissapointing season.
The new look Man City
But the mood has changed in the blue part of Manchester- Gareth Barry,Roque Santa Cruz,Carlos Tevez,Emmanuel Adebayor,Julean Lescott & Kolo Habib Toure have all joined the Eastlands outfit promising an exciting season ahead.
These players can form the heart of defence, midfield & attack respectively & in Shay Given they have one of the best goalkeepers in the league.
Many predict the citizens to break into the so called top 4. WHY NOT?
With an undefeated start to the season with 2 away wins (had to wait till the 2nd half of the season to achieve this the previous season), things are looking great.City player of the year Ireland seems to be linking perfectly with the newcomers. Toure has already been given the responsibility of captain & the Togo hitman has found the back of the net twice in 3 matches, the new players look to be blend in perfectly to the squad
The way how the season shapes up depends on how Mark Hughes handles the mini Galacticos of City.
