Zabaleta has eyes on City title tilt
Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta insists Roberto Mancini's men are ready and good enough to win the Premier League title this season.[LNB] The Eastlands side have swelled their impressive ranks this summer with the additions of Yaya Toure, David Silva and Jerome Boateng.[LNB]City finished fifth last season and missed out on a Champions League spot following a 1-0 home defeat to Tottenham.[LNB]Some believe Roberto Mancini's men still have some way to go to challenge for the top spot, but the Argentine begs to differ.[LNB]The 25-year-old believes City are a quality bunch of stars and that it would be foolish to write off their hopes of wrestling the title from Chelsea.[LNB]"I don't think it helps us to talk too much," he told the Daily Mirror. "We missed a great chance to reach the Champions League last season.[LNB]"So many people are talking about the Champions League and the title, but it's not good to be talking about that before the season has begun.[LNB]"We know we are a fantastic team with great players in the squad. You look at our squad and you know we can do something important.[LNB]"But I also think we have to keep quiet about it. We know how important the first game against Spurs is going to be and Arsenal have had their team together for a long time.[LNB]"As a team they are all very solid, which is why they are the ones competing for the title every season. But we are very close to them now.[LNB]"This club is growing a lot. You can buy big names, but you need time to find the best team. So we will stay quiet for now."
