Pep’s Squad Juggling Comedy Act…
Manchester City have been spending cash like a kid in a sweet shop on a sugar high, bringing in a grand total of five new players this summer! We’re talking cool beans of £123.8 million thrown at talents like a boss in a transfer poker game! From Marcus Bettinelli to mystery mids like Tijjani Reijnders and Sverre Nypan, it’s a City mash-up like an overstuffed midfield pie at the local chippy!
But hold your horses, Pep Guardiola is not running a clown car circus! The City maestro is looking at his squad list and shaking like a jelly — it’s time for a clear-out! Too many goalies are taking selfies in the net and it’s all getting a bit crowded. With Ederson potentially off to swap sunny Manchester for a Galatasaray adventure, and Stefan Ortega waving a cheeky wink to interested suitors, City’s juggling act might add one more in the shape of James Trafford. Last scene at Burnley for £14 million, but now shinier than a new shilling — back at City for £27 million!
Defenders, midfielders, strikers — Oh my, it’s an Etihad wiz-bang! City’s got more defensive options than a footballer’s tattoo catalog and midfielders galore! Every player seems as versatile as a Swiss army knife, but not everyone can jam together in Pep’s salsa band. Will the incredible shrinking game of musical chairs see Nunes dance out the door or Ilkay Gundogan offer his tips on Galatasaray cuisine? Meanwhile, young stars Claudio Echeverri and Oscar Bobb might be playing loan bingo this season, and Jack Grealish — do we hear him whispering a farewell song? The silly season of transfers continues at the Citizens circus tent!
