Manchester City Go Top

So after another weekend of matches, we find ourselves with Manchester City sitting pretty atop the Premier League table. They routed Aston Villa 4-1, and find themselves ahead of their old crosstown friends, Manchester United. So can Manchester City maintain their run? Certainly I think its possible, as they surely have a massive amount of talent. That of course comes with the territory of attempting to buy every player in the world for way more than they are worth, but they have the money, so why not spend it right?
Sergio Aguero, City's Newest £90 million striker


Manchester City would make the New York Yankees blush as of late, having spent an insane £1 billion since the current management group took over in 2008. Life must be good for The Citizens and their Sheikh owner, who appears willing to throw millions at anyone who can kick a ball further than 10 yards (I'm currently looking to negotiate with the the club). Whether all the egos the Sheikh has collected can survive an entire season without imploding remains to be seen, but for the time being, City look to be in great shape.

  1. As a Yankee fan, I always say it's not how MUCH you spend, but how WISELY you spend. But I can't disagree that deep pockets help.

  2. As a Yankees fan I agree completely, but Manchester City appears to be of the notion that everyone in the world can be bought, no matter the price.
