This week City boss Manuel Pellegrini said he wanted to mark his debut season in England by winning four trophies - the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup. If they do, his strike trio of Alvaro Negredo, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko will have been a major factor.
With 99 goals in just 33 matches this season, City will reach a century eight games quicker than any side in Premier League history if they score against Cardiff on Saturday.
That shows the strength of City's attacking talent and with their three strikers seemingly pushing one another to reach new heights, I think the quadruple is not out of the question.
Alvaro Negredo "The Beast"
31 appearances, 21 goals
The Spaniard is the nearest thing to an old fashioned number nine that the Premier League has had since the retirement of Alan Shearer in 2006.
At Real Madrid, Negredo did not play a competitive minute, but a loan spell at Almeria followed by four seasons at Sevilla have honed a player City fans have christened 'The Beast' into someone whose game perfectly fits English football.
If I had to pick one of City's strikers to stay at the club the longest, it would be him.
Physically he lives up to his nickname and is very similar to Shearer. He has desire, pace, aggression. And he sprints into the box as if all he can see is the ball and the goal - I have only seen Shearer do that.
There has been no easing-in period for the Spaniard either, as he has played more minutes than any striker at the club this season.
His desire, coupled with Pellegrini's faith in him, has paid off for City.
An eagerness to lay off the ball and dart into the box has helped him to 21 goals in all competitions in his debut City season. With 17 of them coming at the Etihad Stadium, it seems he feels at home in Manchester.
At 22m, City picked him up for 4m less than Tottenham paid for Roberto Soldado. It is safe to say City got the better deal.
Negredo must be a nightmare to play against.
Thoughts on Manchester City's 2013/14 season (so far) and Alvaro Negredo?

I think City will get the BPL and Capital one cup trophies, but not the quadruple.
I think Chelsea will get the FA Cup because of Mourinho's desire to win it and how he always fields strong teams in the competition, i think Bayern munich will again win the Champions league.

I can't see Munich retaining their CL. Nobody has won the Champions League twice in a row (Champions league not European Cup, sure Nottingham Forrest done it in the 80s). I'd go with Barca, they always seem to win it one year and then dont the following 2 years, its been 3 years now, im fancying them.
