New Manchester City signing Kolo Toure believes they already have their rivals rattled.
Former Arsenal defender Toure believes City's spending power is making managers nervous.
He said: "You see people talking because they don't know what to expect. But it depends on us now, and we don't have to think about the others any more.
"When things are going well, and people are really happy, and say 'Yeah, blah, blah, blah, it's good'.
"But when things are not good, they start talking. But we can't expect anything from the others - we need to focus on what we need to do.
"We are going to have some hard days and some good days as well. We know what to expect. We are intelligent enough to know what to do. If we work hard and are as professional we can, we can get there."
