Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou has warned Manchester City that their summer spending spree will not guarantee them the Barclays Premier League title.
City boss Roberto Mancini has spent over £70million on signing Yaya Toure, Jerome Boateng, Alexander Kolarov and David Silva as he looks to wrest the league title from the Chelsea's grasp.
Kalou admits he expects City to improve on their fifth place last season, but insists their new arrivals will take time to gel into a team capable of winning the championship.
"It doesn't mean because you bring in 10 new players that you will be top of the table," the 24-year-old said on chelseafc.com.
"There are teams like Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal who will always be near the top.
"Manchester City will do great because they have brought some good players in but at the end of the day it's what happens on the pitch, and having new players doesn't guarantee a win."
