City have already signed some great players in Barry, Santa Cruz, Tevez and Adebayor but it seems that the success next season depends on just one players. Yes, you guessed it right, I am talking about John Terry. Chelsea captain is having second thoughts about moving to Eastlands but that is definitely a good sign. You don’t need me telling what a great players he is and how he would improve Hughes’ side. If we are to push for the top 4 finish, we simply have to snatch him.

City already have a world class attack with players like Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Tevez, Robinho, Bellamy and few others, whereas they are also well covered in midfield. Steven Ireland and Gareth Barry should form a great partnership, while Mark Hughes has got a very good back up for the duo as well.

Considering the number of attacking players in the team, City are bound to play attacking football and for this to work you need to have an excellent defence. Micah Richards is slowly rediscovering the form that led him to becoming an England international, and Richard Dunne is definitely a very good player. However, John Terry is simply outstanding. He is a great leader and extremely reliable, while you can always count on him scoring a couple of goals from set-pieces and I don’t mean own goals. City are likely to do well next season even without Terry, but if the Chelsea captain decides to accept City’s offer, then and only then would the Citizens be able to mount a serious challenge for the top 4 finish. Online bookmakers have probably taken this into consideration as they only offer 2.75 for City to break the Top 4 of English football
