Former Manchester City midfielder Didi Hamann has dismissed their title chances this season.
Hamann believes manager Pep Guardiola's summer buying has been unbalanced.
Hamann, 47, told Talksport: "Historically, he was at Munich for three years and he improved the team, but the players were happy when he left because he was so demanding.
"I think a manager like Guardiola can't be at a club for more than four or five years.
"He's done that at Man City and if you see the players they bring in, there is no continuity and I don't see them improving enough with the money they've spent.
"I think they've peaked under Guardiola, I don't see them winning the Premier League or the Champions League in the next few years."
