Manchester City's new signings


Manchester City have, so far, not done much in the transfer window by their standards. One might have expected them to spend loads of money after being dominated by Liverpool in the Premier League and bowing out of the quarter-finals of the Champions League . But, they haven’t. They have invested for the future. Let us have a look at the two confirmed transfers for Manchester City at the time of writing.


NATHAN AKE

Nathan Ake got relegated with Bournemouth last season. It is a bit odd that a club the size of Manchester City are trying to solve their Centre-Back crisis by shopping at a relegated club. But actually, there are a number of good reasons for this move. The 25-year old Dutch defender is a good ball playing centre-back. With Eric Garcia not extending his contract, Manchester City have got a solid defender in their ranks, one who is young as well. Ake can also be deployed at left back, a perennial Achilles Heel for the Manchester club. His versatility makes him a great fit at the club. Is he worth £41m? Maybe not currently but with time, this deal might look to be a bargain.


FERRAN TORRES


The Spanish club Valencia are in a state of disarray right now and have flocked out their best players. The 20-year old winger from Spain is another long term signing. After Leroy Sane left, there has been a gaping hole in Manchester City’s wings. Riyad Mahrez isn't the first choice while Bernardo Silva’s current form isn’t inspiring. The inclusion of Ferran Torres may not improve the team at the moment but with the promise and potential he has, he can make it big in blue. 


Manchester City are busy plugging their gaps, and to be very honest, they have done a good job. These are smart moves, and ones which can pay rich dividends in the years to come.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

  Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game. PLAYERS TO MISS OUT PSG Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him. BAYERN MUNICH Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash.    ...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...
