I highlighted some of the big teams in the EPL top 5. They really made good use of the transfer market. They bought a lot of new players. Even Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Newcastle spent more than 50 million pounds. And of these five clubs it seems that only Man City did not make many big transfers. Recently Arsenal spent a lot of money preparing to buy Gyokeres. Even the price is quite expensive. Liverpool also dared to pay Writz by breaking the EPL transfer record. It seems that the competition for champions this season will be more interesting to see.

Yes, the big teams in the Premier League are indeed competing to strengthen their squads for next season. That's why these teams are making quite aggressive and expensive player purchases. Speaking of Manchester City, I think this team also brought in quite a lot of players in this transfer window. Although the players Manchester City brought in weren't as expensive as those brought in by rival teams, I'm sure Pep had a strong reason for bringing in only those players. Perhaps Manchester City currently has sufficient squad depth, so perhaps for that reason Pep didn't bring in expensive players in this transfer window. Because due to the declining performance that befell Manchester City last season, I don't think it was due to the players being bad. But rather, it was caused by the declining chemistry between the players. So, perhaps because of that, Pep didn't need expensive players to be brought in this transfer window.

Pep Guardiola is adding new players to the team by analyzing various things carefully to arrange it. He does not agree with the idea that only prominent players can do well. If those who are in the team can be inspired by maintaining balance, then the team's performance can be expected to be good. Even if other is looking for star players, Pep is not willing to move forward with that strategy. We saw last season that City's performance was somewhat troubled, but there is no way to say that it was because of the player. If there is a good understanding between everyone in the squad, then even a weak squad can be strong. He usually wants to keep players in the team who will continue to make the best effort for the needs of the team.

One of the great qualities of Pep Guardiola in the world is that he is not willing to make the team with star players, but he tries to develop medium level players according to his mind and bring the maximum out of them. It is not something that can be done well by only spending money.
