Pep Guardiola will never regret for his decision to release some players in this summer, because his plan always bring good result at the end of the tournament, which I know that the players that left will not affect the Manchester city performance in this season. I don't think the coach will disappoint his fans in this season because Erling Haaland and other strikers are still there to make things happen in this season like last season that made them to embraced UEFA champions league title and premier league title. Based on the way other teams are bringing in new players in this season showed that they will make this season tough for Manchester city, but I still have confidence that Pep Guardiola will still help the team to win the title.
Never say never, Real Madrid did the same thing last summer transfer window and what happen after, they played nonsense game without fruitful result, they flop in some good matches they should have converted to goals and points but it was as if they weren't there. Let me give you a scenario using how Manchester City were able to win the Champions league last season; they signed Haaland and De Bruyne prior to the last Champions League and they were so entangled together by performance and that improve scoring opportunities of Manchester City, Guardiola allowing some players to go because they are not attacker doesn't mean they wouldn't feel the pain, every player us the role they play in the squad, they will feel the heat at some point in future.
