As I watched the incredible performance of today, it made me think how amazing our recent signings have been. Check the below list (not including non major signings):
16/17
John Stones
Leroy Sané
Gabriel Jesus
Ilkay Gündogan
Claudio Bravo
Nolito
17/18
Benjamin Mendy
Kyle Walker
Bernardo Silva
Ederson
Danilo
Bravo aside and arguably Nolito aside, all of those signings have been really excellent. It was imperative as part of the rebuilding of the squad left over from the Mancini era, that we got these signings right. I believe from listening to Khaldoon that the decision process of signings is done as a collective at the club, and in that case everyone involved deserves a great amount of plaudits. Sure, they all cost a lot of money, but we've seen countless of times from both ourselves and other teams how easy it is to spend a lot of money on poor signings.
These excellent transfer decisions will bear fruit for many years. A lot of the players are young with plenty of time ahead in their career.
On a final note, we have also brought in a substantial amount of money from academy players who aren't good enough to break through here. Some of these players haven't even played a game for us or even played a game in the Premier League!
In summary, an outstanding job from all involved.
