If this article was about almost any team other than Man City, these first three signings alone would seem nearly insane. But together, completely ludicrous. However, owner Mansour Song possesses the money to pull them off, though the FFP stipulations caps possible spending at £49 million, which would make adding more than one of the three impossible.
