Ashley Cole: I hope Man City finish above Arsenal in the league
Table of Contents
Ashley Cole has backed big spenders Manchester City to push his former club Arsenal out of the Premier League's top four.
The Chelsea and England defender angered Gunners fans when he moved to their fierce capital rivals in 2006.
"I think the players City are buying are good," Cole told The Guardian. "Obviously they have got Gareth Barry, who I know from England and he's a good player.
"They have got Stephen Ireland, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Robinho, Emmanuel Adebayor and Carlos Tévez. They are all good players.
"This year might be tough to break in but next year, you never know with the guys they are buying.
"The players they are bringing in are good quality. You never know, they may gel, click, straight away and it's magic.
"But you won't really know until you see them play. I hope they do.
"I have friends there and I hope they do really well – and they finish above Arsenal."
