Despite facing allegations of financial misconduct from the Premier League, Manchester City's January transfer window was marked by significant spending and high-profile signings. The article explores the club's strategy and the impact of the charges on their ability to attract top talent.
With no public evidence available yet in the legal war between Manchester City and the Premier League, many have been reduced to the classic analysis of judging whether the accused looks guilty.
Bias can come in as well, leading some of the same fans from rival clubs who painted City's lack of spending in summer as a sign that they must be nervous about spending money because they know they are guilty now claim the £180m splash in January is also, erm, because they know they are guilty. In spite of what some suggested or hoped, the threat of potential sanctions has not put off good players from joining. As Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez said on Monday night after completing his £50m deal: "There isn’t a footballer in the world who would not want to be part of this setup."
