Zabaleta Dunne Onuoha Bridge Barry DeLong Tevez Robiniho Santa Cruz Adebayor Schmeichel Richards Ben-haim Garrido Ireland Johnson Kompany Wright-Philips Benjani Bojinov Elano Bellamy Gonna be some tough decisions ahead for Hughes. Must be some bargins for other teams to pick up here. Suprised teams like Wolves and Birmingham havent come knocking.

Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: 77dave on July 18, 2009, 08:55:10 PM Citeh are 12-1 5th favs for the title
Cant find a market on Hughes being sacked before the end of season Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: TheChipPrince on July 18, 2009, 08:59:38 PM I think you will be able to count on one hand the amount of games Robinho/tevez/adebayor/santa cruz all start this season.
2 from tevez/adebayor/santa cruz for most games, plus robinho playing as an attacking mid A fit and focused Michah Richards would def be in my 11 too, plus 3 from wright-phillips/barry/de yong/kompany in centre mid, with Robinho having licence... Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: 77dave on July 18, 2009, 09:02:16 PM im interested too see what happens to the likes of
Richards Johnson Ireland Evans Hart Wright-Philips as the revoltion continues Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: maldini32 on July 18, 2009, 09:03:39 PM Ireland was they best player last season, also richards will in his first 11.
Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: Boba Fett on July 19, 2009, 09:50:48 AM Itll be the same as Chelsea with Ranieri except Hughes isnt as good as Ranieri was. They will give him a chance with all the money, he now has too many attackers he doesnt know what to do with them, he will fail spectaculalry, he gets sacked and they bring in some overpriced super manager from abroad.

I forgot about Ireland! Make it 3 from wright-phillips/kompany/ireland/de jong/ barry!

Man City are 2.08 to win Prem w/o the big 4! Lay Lay Lay! Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: Indestructable on July 20, 2009, 09:48:11 AM Kompany is injured, otherwise he would make the starting line up. Happy with squad once they sort out central defenders. Off to see them v Celtic on the 8th so looking forward to seeing the new buys.
Talk of top 4 is still way off though in my view, although with no european games, teams like City and Spurs could have an advantage against the likes of Everton and Villa. Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: Micko on July 20, 2009, 01:46:16 PM Hughes thinks alot of Steven Ireland as a player and the fans love him im sure he'll not miss many games this season. Richard Dunne is useless JT would slot in lovely.
Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: AgentChip109 on July 20, 2009, 06:43:20 PM i think wright-phillips will be the starting line up the majority of the time on the right wing
wright-phillips barry ireland/de jong robinho tevez adebayor this as long as they dont bring in another central midfielder which i think they will Title: Re: Take a stab at Man City starting XI Post by: sweet potata! on July 20, 2009, 09:54:33 PM Hughes thinks alot of Steven Ireland as a player and the fans love him im sure he'll not miss many games this season. Richard Dunne is useless JT would slot in lovely. I must wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.

Richard Dunne is useless JT would slot in lovely. I must wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. He has scored more Own Goals in english football than any other player....... ......So he defo isn't useless to the opposition!
