City swerve the transfer window but look in good nick with fast start

There were many fans who thought signing cover for Rodri was essential, and plenty who wanted back-up for Erling Haaland once Julian Alvarez completed a move to Atletico.

City spent less than every other team in the Premier League this summer and were it not for the fortuitous opportunity to bring Ilkay Gundogan back the Blues would not likely have reinforced either position in the squad.

If it has been a transfer window that left Pep Guardiola admitting that will require a lot of work in a future window, the moods at the Etihad are bouncing.

Three straight victories to follow a Community Shield success over United has been a dream start to the season where everything that could have gone either way has gone right.
