The £400million spent so far by Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is not enough to win the Premier League and more is needed for success, according to former chairman and player Francis Lee. Defeat by Manchester United on Saturday means that City have no chance now of winning the title this season, said Lee, who added on BBC Radio 5Live's Sportsweek programme: "I don't think you can win the Premier League with this team - you need a couple of more knockout drops.
"(Carlos) Tevez is a wonderful striker but he just hasn't got that support up front. We just don't have that real cutting edge that can dominate games. We can pass it intricately but we just don't have that knockout drop and if Tevez doesn't do it we are struggling a bit.
"(Edin) Dzeko needs time to settle in because it's patently obvious he had not adjusted to the speed of the Premier League. He should be a very good player [eventually] but if Tevez gets injured you need someone who can really stick it away and they are very difficult to find.
"I think there's a dearth of very, very high-class players - you are buying a lot of top-class average."
Asked if City boss Roberto Mancini will bring in new players in the summer, Lee added: "I would think so - he may have to get rid of one or two people but he needs a wide option too."
