They've not exactly made the best signings.
Jo was before the Sheikh's.
Santa Cruz was just some Hughes lovechild fetish.
Left-back was a problem position during that season, and Bridge was the best they could get in the January transfer window.
Lescott was brilliant at Everton so the purchase was justified, just hasn't quite lived up to expectations at City.
Toure was captain last season and plays every game, don't see what is so average.
Robinho was brilliant in his first half-season and was a signing of intent that then helped them to get other players. Also got over £20m for him so they only lost about £10m.
Plus you're forgetting these were all before they even got into Europe so the players they could attract weren't as great.
but I give him credit he has been my player of the season.
