Money can`t buy the title, Kalou warns City

LONDON: Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou on Tuesday warned rivals Manchester City that their spending spree will not guarantee them the Premier League title.

City boss Roberto Mancini has spent over 70 million pounds (84 million euros) on signing Yaya Toure, Jerome Boateng, Alexander Kolarov and David Silva as he looks to take the league title from Chelsea.

Kalou thinks City will improve on their fifth place last season, but insists their new arrivals will take time to find their feet before the team can win 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."
