Manchester City's Season Preview

Yes I know I'm running out of time before the League starts but I plan to do a few teams today to catch up with procrastination.

With Stuart Pearce sacked, Joey Barton gone, Distin gone, new Chairman, new manager and so many new signings, this is definitely an all new team to watch this season. I'm sure its a safe bet that the team will score more than 10 goals at home this season, and the fans can only get happier.

I believe soccernet has a very good description on the new signings.

His spending so far, surely not at an end, has been prolific if curious. £8.8m for Rolando Bianchi, a player who impressed for struggling Reggina after being largely scoreless at Atalanta and Cagliari, does not completely have the look of the signing an out-an-out goalscorer to soothe the goal-starved stomachs of the City faithful.

Geovanni, a Brazilian most famed in the football world for a brief and unflattering spell at Barcelona at the start of this decade, looks an intriguing signing, though the record of South Americans settling in Manchester is not good. One thing in his credit account among City fans would be a goal that ended United's participation in the 2005/6 Champions League. Very much a 'wait and see' player, Geovanni has as much as anyone to prove at City. In enticing winger Martin Petrov from Atletico Madrid, Eriksson showed he still possesses some standing in the transfer market. Petrov has been a genuine star for club and country and his explosive approach could add some zest into City's previously somnambulent attack.

And John Berwin is right! Petrov in the EPL! finally!

Of course other signings like Elano and Valery Bojinov whom excelled in the football manager world. Wonder how they will do in reality tv. ho ho ho.

It would take nearly forever for Man City to outdo their city rivals, but this season is going to be better than the last. However, I believe Man City will not make it to European football just yet but finishing in a more respectable League position.
