Video: How well did Manchester City fare in the summer transfer window?

The Sports Mole Sofa takes a closer look at Manchester City's summer transfer business.

It is often said that the best time to strengthen is when on top, but in relation to previous summers, it proved a fairly quiet transfer window for champions Manchester City.

They addressed their need for a new centre-back, but somewhat surprisingly lost Alvaro Negredo on deadline day.

In: Bacary Sagna (Arsenal) Free, Fernando (Porto) Undisclosed, Willy Caballero (Malaga) Undisclosed, Frank Lampard (New York City) Loan, Bruno Zuculini (Racing Club) Undisclosed, Eliaquim Mangala (Porto) Undisclosed

Out:, Costel Pantilimon (Sunderland) Free, Joleon Lescott (West Brom) Free, Alex Nimely Released, Marcos Lopes (Lille) Loan, Gareth Barry (Everton) Free, Jack Rodwell (Sunderland) Undisclosed, Bruno Zuculini (Valencia) Loan, Micah Richards (Fiorentina) Loan, Alvaro Negredo (Valencia) Loan

Here, Sports Mole Sofa panellists Matt Law, Pascal Lemesre and Barney Corkhill work their way through the club's transfer activity.
