About this episode

The episode grades Manchester City's summer transfer window and analyzes the impact of player movements on the squad.

Manchester City’s 26/27 summer transfer window is finally done, but just how good was it? Hugo Viana and Manchester City had a huge overhaul to oversee, with legends such as Ake, Stones, Rodri and Bernardo all departing, alongside Marmoush, Reijnders, Savinho and several other players. City secured deals for Ayyoub Bouaddi, Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez, Allan Elias, Geronimo Rulli and Iliman Ndiaye, while also tying down Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov and Jeremy Doku to new contracts. Today I’m grading City’s summer business. The incomings, outgoings, money spent, money raised and, most importantly, whether Manchester City actually have a stronger squad heading into the new season. www.esteemedkompany.com 🔔 Subscribe for Man City videos: bit.ly/EsteemedKompany ✍️ Become a channel member: youtube.com/esteemedkompany/join 🤝 Support on Patreon: patreon.com/esteemedkompany Esteemed Kompany.
