Blues’ Super Squad Saga Begins…

As the Manchester City juggernaut revs up its engines for the 2025/26 Premier League season, fans are gripping their Sky Blue scarves tighter than ever. Last season was like watching a lion with a stubbed toe, as City managed only a third-place finish. Skipper Guardiola’s mighty team stumbled early in Europe and found themselves cup-less after a finale fumble against Crystal Palace. Now the Blues are ready to rumble back into the limelight, armed with new transfers as shiny as a magpie’s dream jewel hoard.

Incoming stars like James Trafford, the prodigious rainbow-winged flyer, and jet-heeled Rayan Cherki have hitched their wagons to the City train. The summer signings are so numerous that the Etihad has more fresh faces than a ventriloquist’s dummy convention. Pere Guardiola plans to knit these new threads into a Blues tapestry that can challenge the best. Meanwhile, the ghost of the transfer window looms like a giant football pantomime villain, leaving some squad members nervously packing their boots for an exit.

For all you Etihad enthusiasts, the Manchester Evening News has whipped up a dazzling souvenir special—”Man City 2025/26 Kick-Off.” Dive into the details like a penguin in goalkeeping gloves and feast your eyes on in-depth analyses from football maestros Simon Bajkowski and Tyrone Marshall.

Pick up a copy and be ready when the City ship sets sail against the Wolves on August 16!
