man citeh al-magoo
The Citizens (that's their official nickname, and the only one publishable on this site) have spent money as if it was going out of fashion (and, let's face it: it kind of is) this summer; securing the signatures of Barry, Tevez, Adebayor, Toure, Santa Cruz and others beside, although they have been frustrated in their efforts to sign Joleon Lescott, and their bid for the Death Star looks likely to fail. Add these new signings to last season's acquisitions, and the Bitters look like they have a squad as strong as any in the league. However, it remains to be seen how quickly they can settle down into a coherent system, and how long it will take the players to learn each other's names. Mark Hughes also faces a tough task keeping all of his strikers happy (this writer is assuming that citeh are not going to line up for their opening game at Blackburn in a 1-2-7 formation).
Verdict: If Hughes gets the time to set his team up the way he wants, and can keep all his players happy, then anywhere from 7th upwards this season should be considered a success, with foundations being laid for a top 4 challenge in future seasons.
