Some people still think that modern football is not all about money, look at just one season of Manchester City were they were very bad, infact last season was their worst season in over a decade, but take a look at what they've done in the transfer market from January this year to present and they are not yet done in the transfer window. Manchester City are coming stronger next season, that a sign of a serious team in my own opinion.
I've been liking the way City has been playing lately. It seems things are improving a lot, and Pep has already done what needed to be improved, He proved it at the Club World Cup The fact that they scored 5 goals against Juve speaks volumes Great work by Pep and his players That's the kind of City I like to watch.
Manchester City's style of play changed over a decade ago after the Arab takeover from what they were before they bought it. Because they were able to go into the transfer market and get some of the world's best players, then they won the league from Manchini to Pellegrini then to Pep. Pep came and totally improved on their style of play when he brought his philosophy of always been in possession of the ball, if you lose it, two or three players are attacking to get it back. But after the shambles of last season, yes they held on to the ball to failed in the final third and their defence. But so far in the Club World Cup, Manchester City has impressed me even though they're out, the team is like in a rebuilding phase and not so many teams in rebuilding phase can perform the way City has in the last 4 matches they've played so far.
