Many leading figures in the game have questioned whether or not Manchester City can win the Premier League title this season. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already dismissed City’s chances, however both Harry Redknapp and Martin O’Neill think Mark Hughes’ men are contenders.
With the players they have signed over the summer (Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz, Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez etc;) you would think that they must be contenders, however it is how they gel together is the main thing. If they lose two or three games on the trot, suddenly pressure begins to mount and the players begin to lose interest, so it is vital Hughes keeps all of his players happy.
So, can City really challenge? I’m still undecided, however one things for sure, I wouldn’t be gambling against it.

Carlos Tevez just won’t shut up about his now former club Manchester United.
Speaking about his former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, the Argentine striker had this to say :
“He thinks I will return. But I know what I want and I know that Ferguson did not respect me as a player. Before Berbatov arrived in Manchester, Ferguson told me, ‘You will still be the starting striker, so be cool’. But he lied to me!
That is why I know I will not return to United. What I want to do next season is score against United. I promise I will not celebrate in front of the United fans but I will shout in Ferguson’s face. You can be sure of that - and it will be one of the most beautiful things I have done in football.”
Although I am a Manchester City fan, I really think Tevez should just keep his mouth shut. To put it bluntly, he’s acting like an immature teenager. On the other hand, wouldn’t it be hilarious to see how Ferguson would react if Tevez was shouting in his face.
What do you think? Comments below please.
