Been very relaxed all summer, but this window as it currently stands has been a bit of a mess.
We have lost Gundogan and replaced with Kovacic (a very good player) who isn't a goalscoring midfielder in the slightest. We have lost De Bruyne for a lengthy spell and seem to be picking up injuries now across the squad, including Stones.
We have lost Mahrez and not got a replacement yet (still time of course).
City won't ever overpay for players so the likelihood of us bringing in a quality midfield player for a fair price is very unlikely.
I can't see Pep being happy at all with the squad numbers. He already stated in a press conference we will be bringing in another midfielder. I take it he meant Paqueta, but it now looks like that deal is off the table. Got to give the manager the tools to work with or else we will end up with a serious injury to someone like Rodri for continuosly overplaying and overworking him.
