Pep Guardiola has assembled one of the best squads to ever grace the game at Manchester City and here is every player he has signed.
Manchester City have become the dominant force in English football over the last decade and one of the very best clubs in the world.
That’s down to the total transformation the club has gone under since Sheik Mansour became City owner in 2008 and in that time he has signed a lot of players for a near countless amount of money.
The club’s transfer policy was spotty at best in the early years, with many millions wasted, but since Pep Guardiola took the helm it has been near-spotless.
You can count the number of dud first-team signings over the last eight years on one hand, which is a remarkable success rate given over 35 players have been recruited in that time.
Here is every signing City have made during Guardiola’s reign who actually went on to play for the Blues boss.
