they had missed out on a number of top transfer targets. Robin van Persie was linked with a move to the Etihad during his final months at Arsenal while Eden Hazard, Javi Martinez and Daniel De Rossi were other targets City also failed to land. United won the league by a commanding 11 points in the end, because City, as many claim, failed to sign their desired targets and strengthen in key areas. The Citizens, now under the stewardship of Manuel Pellegrini, have wasted no time in splashing the cash this summer, forking out over £50 million on Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho and Sevilla winger Jesus Navas. Yet there is still a growing feeling of déjà vu. Are City repeating the same mistakes they made last summer? Already the deposed Premier League champions have missed out on prime target Isco, and they have refused to pay £54 million for Napoli's Edinson Cavani. Two key targets who will NOT be playing at the Etihad next season. Meanwhile, City have sold Carlos Tevez leaving them with just TWO senior strikers - are they entering a period of crisis? With Cavani, as well as other one-time targets such as Neymar and Falcao now unavailable, you have to wonder if Pellegrini can bring in talent of similar quality this summer. Here, we take a look at 5 Players Manuel Pellegrini Needs To Sign To Avoid Crisis.
