One of the most interesting things about City is how they manage their squad evolution.On SKY Sports when City signed Aguero, Charlie Nicholas actually said he was the worst buy of the season.
Some eye for a player has our Charlie...
Every year they have a big name departure, but manage it as a transition, usually an improvement to their overall performance. 2016- Hart, 2017 - Zabaleta, 2018 - Toure, 2019 - Kompany, 2020 - Silva, 2021 - Aguero.
Yeah, we can talk about the money, but their recruitment is, for the most part, pretty much bang on and they handle those big characters leaving well.
