Guardiola’s Future Troupe Join the Festivities…
In a blockbuster-worthy plot twist, Manchester City went on a £165m shopping spree in 2015 that even the Monopoly man would’ve found extravagant! Every penny clinked in sync with celestial deals in the football galaxy, as City out-wizarded the mystical PSG and Bayern Munich to snatch the legendary Kevin De Bruyne. Wolfsburg held onto him like a stubborn toddler with their favorite teddy until City finally swooped in with £54m worth of candy.
Meanwhile, jittery youngster Raheem Sterling ran faster than a squirrel dodging paparazzi while leaping from Liverpool to the blue side of Manchester. Despite initial hiccups that felt like wearing boots on the wrong feet, he became Guardiola’s wizard apprentice, conjuring epic title-winning spells. Sterling’s dribble-heavy saga continued with a £50m move to Chelsea and random wand-waving sessions at Arsenal. Yet he still left behind more goal conjurations than a certain Argentine GOAT during the Pep-era chemistry class.
Ahoy, seafaring otter Otamendi — dubbed The General — surfed into town, slamming tackles with the grace of a bulldozer on rollerblades. Though his pairing with John Stones often felt like a duet of forgetful jugglers, Otamendi’s departure opened the gates to the Rui Dias rescue tour, improving City’s defense and later leading Argentina to World Cup glory. Meanwhile, Patrick Roberts became Highland two-goal hero at Celtic before joining Sunderland—who knew that entering the ‘Black Cats’ lair would end with roars echoing into the Premier League? Let’s just say City’s 2015 circus caravan sure paved the way for epic adventures!
