Pep Guardiola agrees his Manchester City squad can fight for honours even if he is unable to make any more signings before the transfer window closes.
The City manager is eager to bolster his defence and is expected to pursue a deal for West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans.
“Like last season, every season I start, I always believe my players are the best,” Guardiola told reporters at a press conference in Manchester on Friday.
“He (Evans) is a player for West Brom. It’s still the same. Tony Pulis was clear, so there’s nothing to talk about.”
“We try to do the best squad as possible for the long season. We are going to see how the market finishes at the end.”
“If we have to stay with the players we have right now, we are happy. If someone comes, we are happy too.”
“I know how good the club works since I arrive here and we try to do our best. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes not.”
“I talk to (director of football) Txiki (Begiristain), all the players at the club, everyone has their own opinions. We talk about making our club stronger.”
