Although they lost many senior players and missed out on several targets, they have accomplished their objective of midfield rebuild.

Without taking anything away from him, Endo’s signing was definitely to fill out the position and to provide an option for Klopp.

He was told that he could leave the Etihad this summer, but the England international thought it was too soon to leave.
Even when Rodri was on suspension against Arsenal this weekend, the City manager chose Bernardo Silva to start at the no. 6 position ahead of Phillips.
