11、City were looking to add to their ranks because they will be without Yaya Toure for a while during the African Cup of Nations.

1、Yaya Toure, Ivory Coast — In reality, there's not a great deal to choose between Toure and his central midfield colleague, Didier Zokora.
9、They're both tough tacklers who do a fine job of protecting center backs Kolo Toure and Sol Bamba, who have an intermittent propensity for the shambolic.
8、Significantly, the winning goal was scored by one of his big-money signings, the Ivorian Yaya Toure.
