I sincerely, sincerely think Manchester City will win the league next season.

The signings between January and June have provided them legitimate, high quality depth.

Rayan Cherki, Nico Gonzalez, Omar Marmoush, Aboukoudir Khusanov, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri are BRILLIANT signings.

— Khusanov provides them a recovery defender they lost with Walker.
— Reijnders fills the old Gundogan void.
— Cherki may not have the vision of De Bruyne, but is still incredibly creative, and his pocket play could even make up for it. Has the two footedness of him too.
— Marmoush provides much, much needed goal threat from players not named Haaland.
— Nico Gonzalez with physical presence and legs in midfield, that can deputise Rodri.
— Rayan Ait Nouri gives them a natural left back at last.

And Phil Foden returning to form is like a new signing for them. Same with Bobb post injury.

Pep is moving to a system that stops using touchline wingers, and instead gives them license to drift inside with overlapping fullbacks. Cannot stress how crucial that is for players like Marmoush, Foden, Cherki to reach their best.
