I think Manchester City will still become the champion. After the failure, they are likely to be quite active again in the transfer market and will be more balanced along the lines this season.
Speaking about the transfer market, one can only go to the market on two conditions.
1) to buy what he doesn't
2) to sell what he no more makes use of.
If I may ask, is there any man city player that is not doing well, you will agree with me that there isn't; and truly , Manchester City has the best squad in England. They have spent enough, but I can say they selected well. It is only left for the team's management and the coach to maintain these players in their best way, and the result will always be positive.
