David Silva signs w/ City today

The summer transfer window is shaping up well for City so far. David Silva should give City another creative winger like last season's winter transfer - Adam Johnson. You can never have too many quality players to select from and with City participating in plenty of cup tournaments along with league play, the extra depth will be very evident by season's end. Silva is fresh from being part of Spain's World Cup winning team and his inclusion speaks well of his abilities.

Along with Silva, City have also beefed up the back four with the signing of Jerome Boateng, another World Cup participant for his home country of Germany. I was happy to see Boateng's performances during the Cup and was impressed in the 3rd place game where he crossed in a ball that led to a goal.

They also brought in Yaya Toure, Kolo's brother, from Barcelona. Much like the other two signings, Yaya also represented his home country of the Ivory Coast in the World Cup. Of the three signings so far, this one is the most impressive because of City's ability to convince a player to leave one of the most successful club teams - Barca.
