"Some coaches try something that doesn't work and fail, but they say 'I stick to my own ideas'. If your persistence makes you fail, you're a fool, and the coaches have to adjust their ideas based on the current personnel." - Mourinho's investment is not heard, and two upsets are thought-provoking

With the joining of Burnley goalkeeper Trafford, Manchester City has spent 177 million euros in the summer window this season. Combined with the consumption of winter window (218 million euros), Manchester City has invested 395 million euros in the past six months to rebuild and have renewed a ten-year long appointment with Haaland. Guardiola got a complete start, but Manchester City's record was unsatisfactory - despite qualifying for the Champions League, the two upset losses in the FA Cup final and the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup made people realize the dangers of the Blue Moon's rebuilding path this time.

Guardiola adheres to the principle, and Manchester City signs a lot of doubts. Just when the championship rivals Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were spending huge sums of money to compete for famous stars, Manchester City was still adhering to the principle of "buying only the right ones, not the expensive ones". They bought many players who were nicknamed "half-baked" by fans. Nico Gonzalez and Husanov, who had just joined the franchise for half a year, proved that this is clear. As the difficulty of the Premier League championship battle continues to escalate, Manchester City's signing strategy is facing unprecedented challenges, and Guardiola is being backfired by the gold and dollar storm he set off that year.

's signing work has come to an end, and Manchester City's next main focus will be on preventing their own stars from being poached.

Guardiola has always liked players who are willing to accept transformation, and did not like famous stars whose skills have been established and whose personality is difficult to tame. Manchester City does not rebuild around the stars, but rather selects players to add them into the established system. The signing of the Blue Moon Army seems to be "saving money", but in fact it is very risky. It is hard to find multiple potential stocks and train them into first-tier stars.
