They were the best team last season without a creative midfielder or decent striker.
They’ve not had a decent creative midfielder since Countino was playing well nearly a decade ago. They’ve not had a decent striker since Suarez over a decade ago.
They’ve signed Wirtz and may sign Isak. Those two will definitely improve them, I’d argue considerably.
…ON PAPER!
However, if you look at City’s squad in 2019-20, we had the best squad in Europe that season. With the addition of Rodri as well as having Fernandinho Gündoğan De Bruyne DSilva BSilva and Foden, it was the greatest collection of midfielders ever seen in the sport. Yet we finished a distant 18 points behind the league winners, went out of the CL to a shit Lyon who finished midtable in France and out of the FA Cup to a shit Arsenal we’d been dicking for years.
So, it might not work out for them. But on paper those signings really do strengthen them where they were weakest.
