Manchester City continue to stick two fingers up to the Premier League. What other conclusion can be drawn, considering the club's mind-boggling spending on new talent in the last 12 months? City have completed the £30m signing of Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, in a move that will see the club take their spending since New Year's Day, 2025, to not far short of half a billion pounds. Which is astonishingly brazen and hard-faced, considering the circumstances City continue to find themselves in.
