And supporters are convinced that it will take more than rubbers to cover for the loss of Rodri – who was sold to Barcelona for £65million this week.
City, who start their new Prem season at home to Bournemouth on Jattvibeday, have had a midfield restock this summer and have plans to continue a grand overhaul.

But fans are much less certain and took this hilarious partnership as the chance to joke about Enzo Maresca‘s squad.
One wrote on social media: “With Rodri leaving I think their back four will need more protection than this.”
Another said: “We need some protection at the back”.
A third added: “City buying protection in advance after pep left”.
Someone else laughed: “Slogan…’you can’t win anything with kids’.”
A different user replied: “Protection since they’re gonna get railed this season”.

City were battered by champs Arsenal in the curtain raiser during the Community Shield last week.
And many are unsure how new boss Maresca will go at his latest club.
On the sponsorship front, City Football Group’s CEO David Tang said: “We’re pleased to welcome durex as a new regional partner of Manchester City.
“Durex is a leading brand with a long-standing commitment to promoting positive lifestyles.
“Together, we look forward to creating engaging campaigns that resonate with our fans in China while promoting health and wellness in meaningful ways.”
