GRAEME SOUNESS: Manchester City have been asleep at the wheel for too long and the £130million spending spree shows a club in panic mode The more I see of Manchester City, the more I am surprised their powers-that-be didn't see this coming.
Spending over £130million in January, a record for City in a winter window, only underlines that a club that seems so well organised did not react quickly enough to their obvious shortcomings.
Even if City insist they were players identified for next summer and brought forward, that's not the hallmarks of a club building dynasties.
City's weaknesses were badly exposed by PSG in midweek as they roared back to win 4-2.
Buying in January hints at panic because you always pay a premium.
