Fact or Fiction: With the recent signings of Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri, Manchester City are on the verge of overtaking the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United as the preeminent club on the continent.

Fiction. Although Manchester City is a very talented club, we are still talking about Barcelona here.  City does have depth, but Barcelona and United can match them player for player. Plus, Barcelona has the experience of playing together in the biggest of matches.  We are still unsure on how City will adapt when the fixture list becomes crowded and they are forced to play talented clubs on a consistent basis.  City fans should expect that the Citzens will make a deep run in the Champions League, but to think they will overtake Barcelona or United is a bit premature…. for now.

What do you think, is it fact or fiction that Manchester City is on the brink of surpassing Barcelona and Manchester United as the top club in Europe?
