Manchester City - Ready For Lift-Off

Almost all football fans have a burning sense of optimism in early July each year. Players will have to recover from injury, to rediscover the lost form and can be reached in this much needed reinforcements, which means that in this next season will be to remember. Few can be as optimistic as the fans of Manchester City, however. They were willing to cancel the 2008/09 season as a year of "development" and "acclimatization". A new director, new actors - in fact, an entirely new regime in the magnificent city of Manchester Stadium, Eastlands, clearly it takes time to gel. Even the mega-rich owners were willing to show much needed (and perhaps surprisingly) patience. But this year will be different. This year should be different.

It's not just the money. 'So , as Shakespeare would say, "Here's the problem." wants to bring the best players in the Champions League, but the best players do not - because you're not in the Champions League. One But it's inevitable that some players want to join the City Adventure, Gareth Barry has come and the prospect of seeing him play alongside the excellent Stephen Ireland is very attractive. Mark Hughes, if you can do Roque Santa Cruz to play like we did two seasons ago, in Blackburn, then it could be a bargain buy. There were also signs of under-21 international tournament summer Micah Richards would order his head long enough to become the player that you can feel when he burst on the English scene. With one or two more insurance purchases way forward, one can understand why Manchester City fans sincerely hope that this season will be that you can make that big step forward and deal properly with Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and street gang in Trafford.
