Whatever transfer deal that have not gone through by now, is going to be hard to get pushed through and meeting the need of the intended clubs for this season, I am speaking on the general basis because season started and alot won't happen straight up the way it should since most clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle and even Manchester City have failed to fix the problem that faced them from the last season which is to get a good front striker that can deliver for the club's.
Their first match was indeed very disappointing. Fans had high hopes of seeing Man City return to their glory from the previous season, but that all fell apart in the first match of the EPL season. The defeat against Tottenham was particularly embarrassing, even without a single goal.
However, Pep still strongly believes that this is all part of the process and that they will deliver even better progress going forward. They are working. Will you believe this?
