Will Manchester City Open Their Wallets If They Qualify For Champions League?

Tied for the lead in Premier League, Manchester City is looking like they are finally going to make the Champions League.

Manchester City has a reputation for spending and spending massive amounts of money on players since their new ownership group took over, so you don’t have to be a genius to guess that they will spend and then spend some more to prepare for the Champions League.

The question is not whether they will spend money on players, but what will they spend their money on. Defenders, midfielders, strikers? What do they need?

After the signings of strikers Edin Dzeko, Mario Balotelli, and Jo in addition to Argentinian Carlos Tevez, their frontline is solid.

In the midfield, David Silva and the Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure have joined the already bolstered City midfield that features the Netherlands’s Nigel De Jong, England’s James Milner, Gareth Barry, Shaun Wright-Phillips, and Adam Johnson, who is arguably one of the best players in England right now.

So clearly their midfield lacks virtually nothing.

In the back, City is also very strong, but in my opinion, it's City’s weakest link. The defense includes Belgium’s Vincent Kompany, Germany’s Jerome Boeteng, England’s Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott, and Wade Bridge.

This is often the weak point for City and potentially a target area for improvement in the upcoming transfer periods.

Roberto Mancini must spend wisely like he did last summer. He bought several players who are fitting in nicely.

They don’t seem to need much, but everyone knows that they will make some kind of move. They always do. What do you think they need, if anything?
