Manchester City spent big ten years ago a year before Pep Guardiola's arrival, and all of the signings have gone to to have excellent careersKevin De Bruyne was the marquee signing for City in the summer of 2015. They had to convince De Bruyne to come to Manchester over PSG and Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich. They were also made to wait for most of the transfer window by Wolfsburg, who were holding out for the best deal possible.

A Friday afternoon musing: if City can get Cherki for £35m they'll have completed three deals before the Club World Cup for the neat and memorable figure of £115m

McAtee is in the squad, just not on the graphic 🙈

Manchester City agree initial fee of £46.3m with AC Milan for Reijnders. Decent business and should get him through the door for the Club World Cup
