Still in doubt about City though. They were disappointing against Barcelona. They played with heart, but did not get the proper results. If the linesman didn't make the mistake of wrongly calling offside twice, the aggregate scoreline would've been an embarrassing 6-1. :/

I think Pogba and Hazard could be a good duo. I don't think this transfer will happen but if it does, that would be great for Chelsea.

@Dynast:

"They were disappointing against Barcelona."

I disagree. I think they played the better football by far at the Etihad, and if it were not for Dimechelis getting himself sent off, that game had been swinging City's way since kick-off. All the attacking play was from City, whereas Barca had simply kept the ball for pretty much the entire game in dcentral midfield, offering little-to-no goal-threat except for a desperate counter-attack in which Messi won a penalty.

Even then, City spent the remainder of the game on the front foot, pegging Barcelona back inside their own half, and it was a break out of nothing which got the 2nd goal in the dying minutes.

And after that? The tie was dead, and everyone knew it including City. No matter what theyt did at the Camp Nou, Barca were going to just hold on to the ball in predictable, kinda boring fashion, and that's just what they did. Therefore, performance-wise, I think it was Barcelona who were disappointing, to be perfectly honest, considering their profile.

But hey, all I said was that City will be scary in Europe next season. They've won the league twice in 3 years. I suspect they will have their sights set on the promised land instead, this season, and goodness knows who else they are going to add to their squad once the World Cup is over. I can't imagine why you would want to disparage Manchester City by starting a debate over whether or not they're 'good enough' just because someone said they think they will be, but hey, go right ahead and let me know why you felt the need to start a discussion about it on a thread about Chelsea.

Because I think that Chelsea and City are on a level together, and will be fierce contestants both at home and abroad, this next season. The World Cup has not yet finished, and pre-season has not yet started. If you think that City will keep quiet this window, then I think you're going to look foolish, come September, and don't forget the caliber of player they can get with their, ahem, resources. ;)

I can't imagine why that's controversial enough to disparage Manchester City by starting a debate over whether or not they're 'good enough' just because someone said they think they will be, but hey, go right ahead and let me know why a discussion needs starting on a thread about Chelsea.
