Manchester City FC - The New English Threat?

When someone normally utilizes the name "Manchester" in a football context, the first thing that comes to mind is a bright red shirt and the word "United". Nevertheless during the past year and a half there's been something brewing at their neighbors house. Manchester City FC a club that has lived under the shadow of the dominant neighbor seems unwilling to put up with staying in the darkness any more.
To the delightment of the fans, the Abu Dhabi United Group acquired Manchester City FC in September 2008, making it the wealthiest club in England at that very moment. Since then a careful plan was elaborated to make the club one of the top players in England, hence the world.
Manchester City made clear it is now a member of the "big spenders club" when it snatched from Chelsea on the last day of transfers, Real Madrid's international star, Robinho.
That was merely the start of the next era of the "Citizens". Recently Manchester City have signed a 5-year deal with former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who was reported a bit unhappy at Old Tratford for not being an unconditional starter. Manchester City's attempt to become a serious English threat did not stop there.
Emmanuel Adebayor, the powerful Arsenal International striker is now linked with the Citizens as well, and is in the middle of a medical which should be the last step before signing his new contract which will bound him to the "Skyblues". City's Arab money has also made an attempt on Chelsea's Captain and England's favourite defender, John Terry who might consider the offer but Chelsea is unlikely to let him go under any circumstances.
With Tevez, Robinho and Adebayor in the attack, and assuming no other player is incorporated into the team, the Citizens will be an adversary not to be taken lightly during this next campaign.
Their chances of qualifying to Europe's league or Champions league have dramatically increased for this year with the new transfers, so all eyes are on the "Skyblues" and their renovated potential for this new season in the premiership. Everyone is eager to see what this new squad is capable of doing on the pitch for this next campaign.
