Man City’s 3-2 Community Shield defeat against Manchester United shows they are just ‘six or seven’ signings away from mounting a serious title challenge, according to manager Roberton Mancini.
The team dubbed the ‘noisy neighbours’ by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson have plenty to shout about after managing to score twice in the weekend’s traditional curtain-raiser.
And with the addition of around £250m worth of talent they can expect to beat their city rivals, says Mancini.
“We could do with three or four more strikers,” said Mancini.
“A midfielder or two or three would help,” he added.
“And perhaps a couple of defenders, some extra squad players and a decent goalkeeper to challenge Joe Hart.”
Man City appear to be a step closer to overhauling United thanks to the fact they are effectively owned by one of the wealthiest sovereign states in the world.
“In fairness we need to spend another £200-£250m to really stand a chance of winning the league,” said Man City fanzine editor David Anderson.
“But that’s probably only enough to buy one or two players of the calibre we need and then replace them in six months time when they realise Manchester in not a suburb of London.”

Enjoy your friendly win. You would think you had won something important but i thought the FA cup was too small a trophy for you to be interested in. Which is it lads?
Yes we have money and we will buy, keep twitching those curtains nosy neighbours?
Enjoy your meaningless friendly, it hurts more to losing three points to Everton, I’m sure you understand.
Happy twitching.

i sincerely wonder how it feels to know the total sum of any future success your club will have will come by virtue of some sheikh’s wallet. statistically united boast the most ardent player loyalty avg in the premiership whilst city…..well, loyalty seems to be the one thing the sheikh cant buy!

Feeble attempt at humour, from a club that’s already spent over £50 million this summer, pretending they’ve got an academy.
It IS all about the money, which is why this article isn’t funny.

its always good to flog our noisy neighbours. Lol. Love it or not,Manunited is the premier leaguge CHAMPIONS. We are d 2nd best team in Europe, with loyal, determined and very gifted players and a genius of a coach…pure class. You can’t buy that with money. Man united is also d most profitable sports enterprise in the world… Not as poor as some city fans think. Ask forbes. The day man city fans join mancini to give glory to the superior team, you will never be happy. Ask arsenal fans.
