#2 The Trusty Spine

Silva and Aguero are still two of the League’s best players.

Despite attempts to move on from some of them in the last couple of years, the spine of the title-winning Manchester City teams, remains largely intact. Silva and Aguero, in particular, are very much in prime condition and they are still two of the best players in the league.

Yaya Toure has also found himself back in the mix, after taking care of his issues with Pep. Despite being 33 years of age, Toure is in good shape and he still has a few good years left in him.

There are several other remnants of those title-winning teams in the squad, such as Zabaleta, Kolarov, Clichy and Fernandinho. You can rest assured that their ruthless winning mentality, which helped elevate City as a football club, will run through the entire squad.

Even though a few of them have lost their starting positions to younger players, this band of thieves can still be re-united for one last heist.
