Any team that spends over £250 million in three years and STILL doesnt even get into the Champions League can't be THAT happy with how things are going. Silva is a good signing. Yaya Toure not so much when you already have a player like Nigel de Jong who does the same job for less wages at the same quality. Toure losing his spot at Barca to arguably Barca's worst player in Sergio Busquets says it all about how much Yaya Toure was valued in the grand scheme of things at Barca. I actually like City, my girl's father is a City fan and I will always have an affinity with them for that link, going to see games with him and so on, but their problem is that by and large, the majority of these great players theyre signing are nothing more than whining, selfish mercenaries who for their bad behaviour and lack of focus or work ethic have been sold by their various teams. Adebayor, Bellamy, Robinho, Y.Toure, even players like Lescott, Gareth Barry and Santa Cruz were hated by the end by their respective clubs because of their disrespect and lack of professionalism to their former clubs when they tried to force their move.Silva is a genuinely good signing for once and might, JUST MIGHT, help them breach the gap and get into the top 4, but that squad you have will NEVER EVER gel and work together properly or do as well as they seem like they would on paper. Too many egos to juggle. No manager could handle that all at once. Not least a softly spoken niceguy like Mancini.Once they do gel of course, they'll be unstoppable, but until they get it right they'll continue to fail in breaching the gap between them and the true big clubs of this world.

Rome wasn't built in a dayBut I think your talking a load of bollox about mercenaries, what footballer nowadays isn't??And City have 1 of the best youth development programes in the country, and we give young players a chance. So its not all buy buyAnyway I would rather be in our boat then some debt ridden clubs in the league
Who said I lurk on United forums?? That fact was posted on BluemoonNo matter what you say United have been buying the league for years, just like Chelsea. Now everyone is spitting there dummy out because little old City are doing it.Well I dont give a fuck.And your right you probably wasnt intrested in SilvaWhy would you be when you have an ageing squad and no money to buy players.But you have got Owen Hargreaves coming back.........oh wait
I wonder how much they are paying Cole.
