Guardiola confident of more Man City signings

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola revealed in an interview that he's keen to sign more players for his squad, but he didn't find the right ones yet.

City are about to close in on deals for Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Marlos Mereno.

The Spaniard is confident that he'll have a powerful squad for fighting for the titles.

He said about Fernandinho:

"I think Fernandinho can play in 10 different positions, because he has the quality to play wherever.

"He can play there [in defence], he is quick, aggressive, intelligent and strong in the air. He has the quality to create good build-up play and can play a forward pass, so I think he has the quality to play there.

"Fernando can also play there, but maybe he is not as quick as Fernandinho. 

"So at the end of the window, we will have to see which players we have, but I think a lot of the midfield players we have here can play at the back, and when that happens the build-up play is much, much better. 

"We need  to create good build-up play, with easy passes in midfield, to achieve good passes for our strikers further up the pitch.  

"I think by August 31, we will have the right players to play the way we want.

"Up until now I can only say thank-you to the players, how they train, how they try to understand me and as soon as possible create a good environment with each other.

"Every manager, every trainer, every coach has his own ideas. For the coach, it's impossible to achieve something when the players don't want it. 

"They are great human beings, of course they are good players. We need time, and I'm sure in the beginning it will be difficult. In the beginning it will be tough to win the games, but I'm hoping as time moves on, and in a short period, we will be able to show we are good in the games".
