Manchester City transfer latest as Blues fans have their say on summer window

The jury remains out for Manchester City supporters on the club's summer transfer business.

The Blues splashed around £175million during the window, matching the figure spent in January.

The deadline day deal for PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has dominated the headlines, given the 26-year-old will replace the departed Ederson.

City also acted swiftly earlier in the summer to conclude deals for Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri, Rayan Cherki and James Trafford.

Pep Guardiola has revamped his squad with plenty of players in his matchday squads now 2025 signings.

It remains to be seen how quickly the players can adapt, given City have lost back-to-back Premier League matches following a 4-0 win over Wolves on the opening day.

And the City faithful remain uncertain as to whether the transfer business will ultimately be successful.

More than 2,000 fans responded to our survey asking fans to sum up the window and 34 per cent described it as average.

Thirty per cent labelled it disappointing, while 24 per cent summed it up as good. The close nature of the figures shows the uncertainty among the supporter base as to how to view the window.

The remaining votes were split between terrible (eight per cent) and excellent (four per cent.)

City will now hope the squad gels effectively when football resumes following the September international break with the small matter of the Manchester derby first up.
