Has Manchester City’s stature finally reached the Champions League level?

The Forecast

The transfer window is always busy with all the rumors flying around in holiday packages. And Man City will obviously be one of the busiest rumor airport owing to the riches of the club. Edin Dzeko, Carlos Tevez, Milner, Sinclair and Barry are rumored to be on their way out, while there is an endless list of incoming players. In an honest and sensible point of view, the departments in need of reinforcements are the defense and attack, with one central defender and a striker. Along with those two, we might as well see another winger and a fullback added to the squad taking the total signings in summer to 6.

What Man City lacked in the past two seasons in the UCL is depth in squad to play twice a week and produce favorable results. While their first season saw them closely miss out to Napoli and Bayern, the last one was pure implosion with the likes of Real Madrid and Dortmund in the group. With the signings of Navas and Fernandinho, the owner has made a statement of his UCL ambitions. Whether Man City will go on to win the thing or not is a question for another day, But they surely will aiming higher than the Quarterfinals this term.
