What they're saying

"
A new boss, £236m spent in the summer window and a steady £286m raised from outgoing players. Enzo Maresca has introduced six new players to the Etihad this season, with the latest being Allan Elias from Palmeiras. As City introduce fresh new talent to the Premier League, they see experienced winners leave the club, which remarkably results in a starting XI that some sides would be envious about.
