There has been plenty of talk about Manchester City spending about £180m in the transfer window on five signings - but is there something flying under the radar at Etihad Stadium?
You know the Blues the best, so we need you to tell us one thing - good or bad - nobody is talking about but really should be.
Image source, Manchester City FCNew Manchester City midfielder Nico Gonzalez says it was "so easy" to join the club as working with Pep Guardiola can help him reach his "full potential".
The 23-year-old was a £50m arrival from Porto on transfer deadline day and became City's fourth signing of the January window.
Pep Guardiola's side have struggled with injuries this campaign and Gonzalez will help plug the midfield gap left by Rodri's ACL injury.
"When a team like Manchester City want you - the best team in the last 10 years - you don't have any other option but to join," he told club media.
"It was so easy for me to want to come here. I am really excited to meet the players and see the great level. They are the best in the world, so I want to see how good I am and push myself.
"Obviously working with [Guardiola] will be incredible. Everyone that I have talked to about him always talks so good and with him, I think I can reach my full potential and become the best player I can be."
Having previously worked in City's academy setup, Gonzalez's father Fran has been influential in the Spain international's decision to make the move to Manchester.
"He was here two years. That is why he always recommended that if I had the chance I should come," son Nico added.
"He always talks so well about Manchester, the city and the team. He told me that I will enjoy it a lot here and I will be so happy here in the city. He loved living here. I visited once and I really liked the city.
"The first thing he told me is that the people and the place are amazing and the best he's seen. I think I will enjoy it a lot."

Image source, PA MediaThat was as close to perfection as you could get from a January transfer window from Manchester City.
The problems were identified, deals were done, at the prices we wanted, and a clear sign of intent has been put out that this club is certainly not going anywhere any time soon, despite the struggles in form of late.
While many have been keen to point towards Rodri's long-term absence as the reason behind City's decline this season, the lack of depth in key areas has been a killer, and particularly injury and fitness problems in defensive positions.
So in came Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis; two of the most highly-rated central defenders in the game, and two names that were being tracked by some of the most prominent clubs in European football, namely Real Madrid and Arsenal respectively.
They are raw, yes. They may not be ready for the consistent demands of top-level Manchester City action three times a week. But what Pep Guardiola has on his hands are two players that could spearhead a defensive structure for the next decade.
In an attacking sense, that was the feeling around Julian Alvarez until his exit to Atletico Madrid last summer. And City responded with a huge statement in January, bringing in one of European football's most prolific goal contributors in Omar Marmoush - but at a premium cost. Ultimately however, if you want the best, you pay the best prices, and that was a compromise that City were clearly happy to accept.
And while that brought a spend of around 130m euros (£108,m), concerns remained over the fact that City were yet to find the elusive defensive midfielder that had been lost through Rodri earlier in the season.
Until deadline day.
A product of La Masia, a player who looked up to the likes of Sergio Busquets, and a Spanish youth international that will certainly be eager to learn from Rodri in the sky blue of Manchester City - Nico Gonzalez.
Again, this has come at an immense cost, but with matters left until the very last minute and after a 5-1 defeat by Arsenal, corners could simply not be cut here. Get the job done, and that is exactly what Txiki Begiristain did.
This is just the beginning of a major squad overhaul and City fans can expect more where that came from when the summer window arrives. For now, it is a game of survival in the Premier League. Securing a top-four place is a must and we go again next season.

Image source, Getty ImagesHas Pep Guardiola applied a temporary fix to broken Manchester City?
Their disappointing season was brought into sharp relief once more by the second-half collapse in that 5-1 defeat at Arsenal, following the pattern of the 4-2 loss away to Paris St-Germain in the Champions League, where they also conceded four goals in the second half.
Guardiola's side, who made history last season by winning a fourth successive title, have looked ageing, flawed, frail and a pale shadow of their former all-conquering selves, with opponents preying on their vulnerability.
The £50m capture of Porto's powerful 23-year-old midfield man Nico Gonzalez will add strength to an area robbed of Rodri's world class this season, with problems exacerbated by Kevin de Bruyne (33) and the 30-year-olds Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva all starting to shows signs of miles on the clock.
Guardiola finally has his replacement for much-missed Argentina forward Julian Alvarez with the signing of 25-year-old Egypt forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt for a deal that could eventually be worth £63m.
He has also bought two defenders for the future with a £33.6m deal for 20-year-old Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens, along with teenager Vitor Reis from Palmeiras, who cost £29.6m.
This is an outlay of close to £180m but still only scratches the surface of the rebuilding job Guardiola faces.
It remains to be seen if any of the quartet make a serious difference to the fading champions.
These seem like just the first bricks in the rebuild, with the bigger work coming in the summer.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United are enduring one of the worst seasons in the club's long history. Yet, Ruben Amorim's squad is arguably weaker than it was at the start of the January transfer window.
Patrick Dorgu arrived from Lecce. Ayden Heaven joined Chido Obi-Martin in switching sides from Arsenal. And Paraguayan teenager Diego Leon signed a pre-contract agreement.
United's financial limitations have been well-documented, as has the new-look hierarchy's focus on the summer after splashing about £200m for Erik ten Hag last year.
But the decision to loan Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa without recruiting a replacement has all but condemned Amorim to a nightmare first season at the helm.
United tried by targeting Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel. However, the demand for a £5m loan fee collapsed negotiations.
A level-headed fan would understand that Ineos are attempting to drift away from the old regime's reckless, panicked transfer strategy that has focused on short-term fixes.
However, at the same time, the firestorm of frustration at the news Tel was Tottenham-bound on deadline day was understandable.
Only Everton and the bottom three have scored fewer Premier League goals than United this season. Rashford's measly tally of four is still higher than both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
And regardless of his recent fortunes, the 27-year-old notched up 201 goal contributions across his Old Trafford career.
United's forwards now have 35 career Premier League goals between them. You would back Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland to have a good go at matching that this season.
An easy fix would be for the club's £108m striking duo to start scoring goals. But that currently feels less likely than United escaping the depths of the bottom half.
With three competitions left to play for, Amorim's goal woes look set to continue.

On the latest episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, the panel discussed whether Manchester City have been impacted by Erling Haaland struggling to find his usual form, after he recorded just nine touches against Arsenal.
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton defended the striker, saying: "I think there is an element of him becoming so used to the way the team has played since he has been there. They play in a particular fashion and he is used to that.
"But are we judging him on one game or over the course of the season? His numbers are still pretty incredible - he is second top goalscorer behind Mohamed Salah.
"I think we are looking at the wrong person in this team if we are looking at Erling Haaland. I'm pretty sure he is just following how Pep Guardiola is telling them to play."
Former Premier League forward Theo Walcott disagreed with Sutton, adding: "At no point during the game did I see him doing those second movements, such as coming to the ball and spinning and not even going in behind, just to show his intent of keeping on the toes of the centre-backs.
"As a player, I always wanted to keep my defender guessing. I think it was just too obvious what he was going to do for Saliba and Gabriel.
"All I'm trying to say is he needs to do something different to keep his defenders guessing. He was quite lethargic. At times, I felt it didn't help Manchester City the fact that he was walking around.
"I just feel he needs to do more at times when Manchester City are struggling."
