Manchester City is the only club in Premier league spending more than 50 million in two consecutive seasons. During the last transfer season Manchester city buy four strikers Emmanuel Adabayor (Arsenal, £25 million), Craig Bellamy (West ham, £12 million), Santacruz (Blackburn, £17 million) and Carlos Tavez (Manchester United, £25 million). Even with so much fire power they were unable to qualify for Champians League spot without winning the single trophy last season.
During the current transfer window till now Manchester City have invested more than £75 million and signed Yaya Toure (Barcelona, £28 million), David Silva(£24 million, Valencia ), Jerome Boatang (Hamburg, £11 million), Aleksandar Kolarov (Lazio, £16 million), Alex Henshall (Swindon, £250,000), Albert Rusnak ( MFK Koviec, £18) and reports suggests that they are also chasing Mario Balotelli who is currently with Inter milan.
Manchester City have another highly rated striker in their pockets, Robinho who cost them the massive £35 million but during last season he was send on loan to Santos........!
Roberto Mancini the current Manchester City manager took charge of the club when Mark Hughes was sacked by the club owner during last season and since then the new Italian manager is trying to make his impact on the club.
With too much stars in the club it would very interesting to see how Mancini manages his squad. The situation at Eastland doesn't looks good. During the last two years there are lot of changes recorded in the squad. And if Mancini wants to achieve some results this season, somebody Please tell him he can not win matches on the basis of star players at Eastland.
Another problem that all Premier League managers are currently facing is the New Premier League rules, according to which at the close of each transfer window a club must announce the squad list of 25 players.
Not only that, Eight of these players must be "home grown", meaning they have been associated with the FA or Welsh FA for three seasons (or 36 months) prior to their 21st birthday. And Home-grown does not refer to nationality, simply how many years they have spent in England as a youngster.
Now it would be interesting to see how Mancini manages his squad according to the New Premier League rules.
