For me, this is a repeat of the Pep team build. Enzo has started quicker though with this total midfield rebuild. Pep didn't really make enough changes during the first year of his reign, probably due to finance, and the big changes came in his second year.

It might take a year for this team to gel together and reach peak form, but next year it should be a formidable team I suspect, if not this year.

It oozes quality all round and depth.

Absolutely huge transfer window for us. Both incoming and outgoing.

Will be hard for Maresca to get the team to gel and come together in a short time so I think this season will be a bit up and down for us but hopefully we'll be set up well for the coming years.

Done deal

It is still looking like it will be completed but 2 hours to go...

Hopefully, it will be as straightforward as the odds suggest. The real sky blue City v the fake imposters.

Match odds

City 1/7
Draw 7/1
Coventry 13/1

Bit of a marmite one this. I found the whole Argentinian team completely odious during the World Cup.

I'll give him a go though Aguero and Zab were belters so fingers crossed 🤞.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Enzo Fernández to Manchester City, HERE WE GO! 🇦🇷

Deal in place for fee over £125m after a long negotiation as Chelsea approved the sale.

Enzo only wanted Manchester City and he's now set for medical at #MCFC.

Thought Ndiaye he had an amazing game against us last season at our place. Been keeping an eye on him since.

Haven't seen him play as well as that game, but he could be very astute signing for us.

A lot of movement on the wing. I thought that we might be after another striker as backup for the big man.
