Blackburn Rovers right-back Michel Salgado believes Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini would have a very tough job trying to keep all the egos in check at Eastlands.
The former Real Madrid man knows all about playing at a club with plenty of big names and bigger paycheques and feels that Mancini would be struggling to keep everything under control in the dressing room.
"The most important thing I think for the manager is to try and control the changing room," he said.
"Sometimes it's more important what goes on off the pitch than what happens on the pitch.
"You have to control the group. You have to keep everyone happy. I think that is very difficult when you are dealing with big players. That is a big problem.
"The problem is, he has to settle all these new players into his team and when you sign eight new players every year, that is a problem," he added.
"Manchester City are under construction and they have had to start from the base.
"At Real it was different. We had won the Champions League in 1998 and 2000 and were the best team in La Liga. So when we bought Luis Figo in 2000 and Zidane in 2001, we already had a good team.
"We just needed to buy one great player every year and bed him into what was already a good team.
"That was much easier than trying to buy eight players every year and making a winning team out of them."
