Man City’s Early Struggles Despite Spending Spree…
More than £320 million spent and 122 days of 2025 have been invested to reshape Pep Guardiola’s squad, yet the recruitment team at Manchester City must feel like they’re playing a football version of ‘Where’s Waldo’. Despite enough new players to start a football tournament on the moon arriving at the club, things haven’t quite clicked yet. Three or four players might be packing their bags today, and one top goalkeeper could touch down soon. But will those changes transform the team’s fortunes? So far, this version of City seems eerily familiar, as if they’ve used the same invisible paint that makes cats vanish in walls.
City’s struggles began last autumn, and the mammoth January investment was meant to revamp the squad. But the team still finds itself losing to Brighton after once being untouchable. Even with midfield reinforcements, City’s core remains as shaky as a three-legged table in a disco! You’d expect Rodri to be a giant in the midfield, but his play was surprising, lasting all 90 minutes while others stumbled. Reijnders gave it a shot too but looked as comfortable as a giraffe on roller skates. While some new signings show potential, Manchester City hopes the upcoming games shed some sunlight on what’s been a cloudy start.
