Nico González has officially become a Manchester City player right before the end of the winter transfer window in the Premier League.

Currently there is an interesting situation by the way. Manchester City spent 215 million euros in this window which was more than the rest of the 19 teams combined (213 million).  Shocked

Who will say stop to them, or will anyone do so?
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.
Well looking at how terrible they were doing at the start of the season, we would guess that them spending this much money was just a way of trying to recover what they have lost. In the end, they are a rich club and been one for a long time, but money doesn't bring in championships all alone, we have seen that.

So many clubs in the league have much more money than City, and spent more money many times over as well, and yet none of that really mattered because others didn't win. Sure city spends a lot, but they actually turn that spending into titles and that's why they are so good. This year they are going to fail to win the title we all know that, but next year they could actually do a lot better with these new players.
