Manchester city

[Perumthachan]

City had the second-highest net spend during the Premier League’s record-breaking summer transfer window. The Blues spent more than £140m on the likes of John Stones, Claudio Bravo and Leroy Sane at Pep Guardiola’s behest. In contrast, the only player to have made City money was Seko Fofana, who moved to Udinese for £3.8m. City’s net spend of £136.2m falls just short of bitter rivals United, who spent more than £144m on the likes of Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Paul Pogba.

impressed by the signings. got a world-class keeper in bravo. got a good cb in stones who could team up nicely with kompany. midfield is bolstered by gundogan and sane. nolito is perfect for the false 9 play. jesus will join later. was never fond of mangala or bony. got rid of them. had a fondness for nasri and hart, but then, you can't whine on both sides of the fence. if you get the best manager out there, you might as well be ready for changes. exciting days ahead. the first 30 minutes we played against West Ham were the best City perfo i have ever seen. the problem is, if Barca were able to stick to the tactics for 90 mins and Bayern did it for 80 mins, City, at present, is able to hold on till 30 mins max. 90 minutes of same intensity will take some time.

on his debut, Gabriel Jesus sets up a penalty and then scores twice to help Brazil defeat Ecuador 3-0. the boy is good.
waiting for december when brazil league will get over and he will join City.
