Can Manchester City complete an unprecedented quadruple? With anyone apart from Pep Guardiola in-charge, that ambition would have been met by sceptics but City really do have a great chance of achieving the unthinkable this season.

With a potential transfer ban (via the Times) soon to gather over the Etihad, it’s lucky enough that Manchester City already have a brilliant squad and they could survive easily without the need to sign anyone.

Obviously, they are a club that loves to spend but whilst their squad already contains a host of world-class players, they can sustain a trophy hunt no matter how long they’re banned for. Although it may not seem that way initially, Manchester City may find it beneficial not to sign anyone, instead giving the young players a real chance to make substantial progress in the first-team.

One player who’s been around the main squad over the last two seasons now is Phil Foden and he could be one of many that benefits from Man City signing no more players.

Foden, (who is valued at £22.5 million on Transfermarkt) is one of the brightest talents, not only at Manchester City, not only in England, but the world.

His on-the-ball technique and tight control has allowed him to fit right in with Pep Guardiola’s side and the young Englishman is set to enjoy a terrific career in football.

His implementation within the first-team has been slow so far due to the endless amounts of quality City already have in his role.

With the transfer ban potentially soon to come in though, it at least will stop others getting ahead of him in the pecking order.

At just 18, Phil Foden appears ready to take a more prominent role within the first-team and giving him the opportunity could prove to be a great thing for all involved.
