    Man City most expensive squad in the world

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41223990

    Costliest squads

    All figures from CIES Football Observatory

    Club Country Cost (euros)

    Manchester City-----------------England------853
    Paris St-Germain-----------------France------850
    Manchester United-----------------England------784
    Chelsea-----------------England------644
    Barcelona-----------------Spain------628
    Real Madrid-----------------Spain------497
    Juventus-----------------Italy------470
    Liverpool-----------------England------437
    Arsenal-----------------England------416
    Tottenham----------------- England------361


    Spurs are such a well run club.

    Real Madrid 497 is insanely low given how strong their squad is. Their squad net worth is 669m I have just checked at the moment. That is without Asensio given a fair figure (currently 27m).

    Embarrassing for the league really. Guardiola was lucky Mane got sent off, I think Man City really are not all that. They've spent over 200m since last season and I see nothing to suggest they've improved that much. Bernardo silva will be a great buy over team though.

    I wouldn't put ten pence on Man City winning the CL.

    Thinking about it though, I say spurs are so well run, they've done nothing in europe. At all.

    I completely disagree with your conclusion that City haven't improved.
    At Bayern Pep was revolutionary In The way he used his full backs. He often asked them to tuck in to become extra central midfielders, it was impossible to do this with Clichy and Sagna cos they're crap.

    He's spent big on three full backs cos they are essential to how he wants the team to play.

    Personally I think City will get better and better and it will be interesting to see if Mourinho's power and pace model or Pep's clever footballers with vision and movement comes out on top.

    I think Man City will win the league. Also wouldn't be surprised to see more than one English club reach the semis of CL this season.
