Why are we buying a new team for Guardiola? Because the recruitment for the 1st team didn't work out. If you disagree, would like to read the explanation. A few transfer crashes are part and parcel of the business. But looks to me that barring 3-4 players, Guardiola is going to replace more or less the entire team. Necessarily too. But that should not happen with a Football Director.
Keeper replaced. Probably to be replaced again
Fullbacks to be replaced
Centre-back: Rotation with Kompany the only constant
Midfield: Silva stays with KDB
Forwards: Aguero remains but all else changes
So Guardiola will end up with a totally new side with a few old timers from mancini's time and maybe KDB the sole success in Txiki's interim period
I would say he did brilliantly last Summer to bring in Jesus and Sane, but most neutral observers would be rightly amazed by claims that City have spent well over the duration. We were tremendously efficient in the first few years after the takeover, thereafter it's gone awry!
