They have a very good workmanlike squad, but other than Stevie G there is no player of the highest quality and I think that showed at times in all comps this year.
Sure they can still make their bargin buys, but you generally get what you pay for, and they need to target 2 "top shelf" types imho.

Tevez
Simao Sabrosa
David Villa
Fernando Torres
Florent Malouda
David Silva
Daniel Alves

Mancini

Yeah I have heard of all of those links aswell mate, and hope that some of them come off.
From that I would probably target Tevez as a priority ... Malouda will sign I reckon and I think Simao is agood chance aswell.
Will lose any of Bellamy, Cisse (both guaranteed), Crouch, Alonso, Kewell, Gonazalez, Aurelio, Carson, Hyppia, Paletti.
Agree with RM, need a top shelf finisher up front and another top class defender imho.
