Rodgers will lead Swansea City into the first game of their Premier League season having seen their opponents – Manchester City – just splash £38m on striker Sergio Aguero.<\/p>\n
Couple that with a £200,000 weekly wage and you see the gulf between the two sides in terms of what we pay and what they think nothing of paying.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Evening Post, Rodgers said "Manchester City are at a level now where they are competing at the cutting edge of the game,<\/p>\n
"They are a superpower in European football — they are in the market for all the top players in the world and Sergio Aguero is certainly one of them. <\/p>\n
"It's an interesting dilemma now for Mr (Roberto) Mancini as far as who to pick goes."<\/p>\n
Rodgers watched City's friendly against LA Galaxy on television last weekend.<\/p>\n
"I had my notepad and pen," he said, "and it's frightening when you look at the talent they have got.<\/p>\n
"It's a different pressure they face — they are at the top end of the game and they have world-class players throughout the group."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
