Manchester city how much spent

It's arguable he remains underrated by both Guardiola and the watching fans; his creative numbers in terms of actual and expected goal and assists place him among the best in the league yet his minutes have been limited in league matches this season, playing less than 2, in total.

Rodri perhaps needs to become a little more mobile and doubters will ask if he does enough to protect the centre-backs, but that was never really his role and no-one has made more touches or completed more passes in the Premier League.

He will get even better next season. Joao Cancelo was used far more often in the cup competitions earlier in the season but has developed into Guardiola's outright first-choice left back given Mendy's continued woes. Angelino was just a man in the wrong place and was quickly sent to RB Leipzig with little lost in the deal, while Pedro Porro has been on loan at Valladolid and will spend the next two at Sporting in Portugal.

City's record of misses-to-hits is actually largely in line with other big clubs. The number of complete disasters have been restricted; Mendy and Danilo were two big-price defenders that just haven't worked out, while Stones ultimately headed along that path, but did serve a purpose for a season or two. The big deals in attack - Silva, Mahrez, Sane, and to an extent, Jesus - have been valuable acquisitions and all will retain sell-on value, as referenced in the Sane deal for a player that had just a year left on his contract.

It can be true that Pep has spent a lot of money and got a fair percentage of the big deals correct when doing so. Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski both surged up the standings in the race to score the most goals in Europe this season. The likes of Everton, West Ham and Stoke really haven't got as much out of their money as they might have liked.

Everton especially seem to have come up short with their money, considering they were already a well established Premier League side and haven't gone down in that time. Stoke's money definitely hasn't been well spent with the Potters heading down to the Championship and unable to get close to coming back up last season. Pep Guardiola's side meanwhile have continued to spend this summer with midfielder Rodri joining on a club record fee from Atletico Madrid.
