We need a lot of quality in a lot of areas to challenge for that.

We've not finished yet. Lets for the sake of argument that we have though. It will be Robbies second season and I think this year we will see him flying. Look what he did last year, 15 goals for a flop ? I can't wait for him to be average.
RSC won't just hold up play for Robbie, Stevie and Herman to join the attack. His hold up play will take a huge burden off the defence. Speaking of which, Dunney is gone and thank you Richard but we will be far better without him. if VK slips into centre back along side Ned, we will leak a lot less goals this season. Then we have Barry, he is the perfect link man between from defence to attacki. I think he is seriously underrated.
Micah knows he has to perform or he is gone so I think we will see him back to what we know he can do. Bridge was shite last year but I'm willing to put that down to lack of games. I think we will see a vast improvement next year.
Tevez will be important to us if he signs. His work rate alone will save a few goals and rescue a few lost causes.

Add to that the fact that we have taken one of our main rivals captain and most influential player. Signed two first choice targets from under the noses of an established top 4 side. Taken one of the rags best players and if we sign Lescot, we'll be breaking up one of the Prems most successful central defensive pairs, who also belong to another of our rivals.

We have barely started in the transfer window and we have already weakened(if we get Lescot) two of our rivals for top 6 while strengthening ourselves. We've also pissed on the chips of 2 title challengers by signing Barry and more than Likely Tezez.

I can't fucking wait, I'm buzzing. I really think this year we will crack on and upset some people.

I always buzz at the thought of us doing something (a bit blinded that way lol)

But i think we are on the verge of big things and it has made us impacient and are wanting it NOW but if i have to wait another year or two it wont bother me that much, knowing we are trying to do it in the right manner and not do a Blackburn or Chelsea or even them red cunts (who never sign any superstars for money wank

)

I dont want it as a one off season of success, i want it for the rest of my life.

We under performed last season Jim. Out squad was far better than our position in the league would have you believe.

I think a lot of that was lazy players not liking the work ethic of Leslie, they will be fucked off in the coming weeks.

I also think a few players had their noses put out of joint by our new wealth. Instead of stepping up a gear like Superman and meeting the challenge head on. They shrank back into their shells with a couldn't give a fuck attitude because they knew their days were numbered. Dunne is guilty of this imo.

Next season we will have a team that believes we are heading up and players who want to work for the manager.
Look what Gollum gets out of an average Everton squad. I think we will shock a few people.

I may be suffering from excess optimism though. I did the BBC predictor for next season and had us finishing top with 96 points Embarassed

I'll do it again and be sensible Embarassed

in everything you have said stony you are missing one big factor.
This is City! and we never make it as simple as you have made out.
