You are right if we look at some of the club spending data in this winter market, only Man City is in first place by spending 218 million Euro. Pep Guardiola feels the need to add ammunition due to their poor performance at the beginning of the season. Facing the end of the season, the demands are getting heavier and Man City can rely on the new players as much as possible. But can all the players they buy adapt quickly? considering that Pep Guardiola is an idealistic coach about tactics so the burden on the new players will be much more pressing.
The steps taken by Man City were very effective, they immediately moved quickly in the winter transfer market to bring in several quality players to cover the shortcomings in their squad. Man City are desperate to get back to their best, after the chance to retain the EPL Trophy became increasingly out of reach, now Guardiola is trying to get his team to finish in the top four and try to overcome Real Madrid in the two legs of the UCL play-off round.
With conditions like now of course manchester city must move quickly in the transfer market, especially last summer they only brought in one player and instead unexpectedly they had to slump after rodry was injured, actually guardiola does not have a habit of shopping for players in the winter because they usually focus more on the summer transfers market. but this season they have to break that habit to improve their current condition, so far, I see that the signing of Marmoush has had a positive impact on their attacking line, but the purchase of Khusanov and Vitor Reis so far has not had a significant impact, while the signing of Nico Gonzalez looks like panic buying after they were slaughtered by Arsenal 5-1.
