Manchester City continue to go heavy in the transfer market - £123million spent in the summer transfer market so far.
But amid the vast transfer sums, there's a quiet recruitment revolution unraveling behind the scenes at the Etihad Stadium.
The wealth is there of course, this week's signing of Ruben Dias from Benfica for £64million indicative of that point. That's unlikely to change, either.
But just recently there's been a noticeable sprouting of the fledgling talent that lies under the surface: the recent emergence of Liam Delap and Cole Palmer a case in point.
