What city can still win will be decided by the next three games. First end Wembley and a possibility for Manuel Pelegrini to claim for his first cup in English football. Next to corroborate a come back to Wembley in the semi finals by playing against holders’ Wigan in the quarter final of the FA cup. And finally a trip to Barcelona and an effort to capsize a 2-0 shortfall from first leg. All of which may dim their dreams of lifting the premier league.

No Comments

Manchester City’s Samir Nasri will be out injured for around 8 weeks as he sustained a left knee injury. The French midfielder used his Twitter page to talk about the condition of his injury and he also expressed all the support he has been receiving in these last few days. He picked up the injury when the Newcastle United defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa tackled him during the 2nd half of Manchester City’s 2-0 triumph that keep them at the top of the Premier League alongside Chelsea and Arsenal.

“Thank you everyone for your kind words and overwhelming support,” Nasri wrote, “I suppose its kind of good news that I will be out around 8 weeks.

Samir Nasri has been featured in 16 matches for Manchester City of the Premier League in this season and has been one of the most consistent players for the side that is fighting to hold the league title once more.

Jose Mourinho and Chelsea are one of the direct rivals that Manchester City has and the Portuguese rated the side of Manuel Pellegrini highly as he considers them to be the favorites on winning the title this season.

“City, in terms of power of the squad, are in another dimension. You can’t compare their situation with any other club. Some people disagree or some managers feel they shouldn’t say it, but I say what I feel: City are different’’.

“It’s not about having quality players, other clubs also have quality. But Man City are in the perfect moment. They don’t have old players or young players – the only young player is Matija Nastasic and he plays sometimes. After that, all of them are between 25 and 29 everyone in the best moment. The number of players they have at the same level is amazing. The physicality adapted to the Premier League is amazing’’. Mourinho said as he praised Manchester City.

SPANISH CLUBS WANT AGUERO

No Comments

Sergio Aguero has been linked with a move to Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Argentine forward made his move from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City with a transfer fee believed to be around £38 million.

Lionel Messi suggested his club, Barcelona to make a move for his Argentinean partner. Aguero played a big part in Manchester City’s title winning campaign last season by scoring the decisive goal that edged out the victory for his club on the final match against QPR.

So it makes sense that Barcelona and Lionel Messi desire Aguero into their squad but the real question is if Manchester City would allow such a key player of theirs to be sold?

Iker Casillas is believed to be on the radar of Manchester City after a number of disappointing matches for Joe Hart has left him in the sidelines and Costel Pantilimon being chosen ahead of him.

The English club is trying to find a more permanent solution to their recent goalkeeper problems and with Iker Casillas still having to fight for his place in Real Madrid a move to the Premier League might happen in January.

Even though Iker Casillas is considered to be one of the finest goalkeepers of his generation and winning a large number of awards and accolades not only for Real Madrid but also for Spain, Ancelotti still prefers to use Diego Lopez.

It was suspected that he was going to get more playing time under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti as he replaced Jose Mourinho but things have barely changed at all. With Manchester City in need of a solid goalkeeper and with Iker Casillas wanting to find playing time, this might just be the move that can solve both of their problems.
