Pep Guardiola on what Manchester City need in the summer transfer window: “Give me good players. The rest, it doesn’t matter.

“Good players can adapt and adjust. We will adapt the movement, tactics or whatever we say as managers for the quality of players. And especially [give me] players that go to Anfield, the Bernabéu, Camp Nou or wherever and say: ‘I’m going to play my best.’ That is the difference, top players have that.

“But we’re not adjusting for the fact we [had a tough season]. If we win, I don’t have to adjust? That is a mistake. When you win, you also have to adjust. Day by day, game by game, week by week. We’re going to adjust some things, but not for the fact we just won the Community Shield.” (ESPN)
