All you need to know about Manchester City fans' verdict on the summer transfer window:

City's summer transfer window ended with a bang as Enzo Fernandez completed his £125m transfer from Chelsea. The Argentina international was joined in moving to the club on deadline day by Iliman Ndiaye, who arrived from Everton for a fee that could rise to £65m.

The new arrivals join Elliot Anderson, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Allan Elias to strengthen Enzo Maresca's hand this season.

Of course, it was also a summer of departures. Bernardo Silva and John Stones left on free transfers while Rodri's exit to Barcelona banked City £64.5m.

A number of players who found playing time hard to come by last season have also left. These included Nico Gonzalez, Savinho, Omar Marmoush, Tijjani Reijnders and James Trafford, while Jack Grealish returned to Everton on loan on deadline day.

City had hoped to replace any player who left the club this summer, and while they failed to achieve that aim, fans are still pleased with the business done.

Since the window closed on Tuesday, we have been asking our readers: 'How would you rate Manchester City's transfer window out of 10?'

From 1,590 responses, 54 per cent gave the window a mark of 8 or 9/10. 27 per cent went one step further by giving it a perfect 10/10.

14 per cent of voters ranked it a 6 or 7/10. A mere three per cent gave it a 4 or 5/10 and two per cent decided this window deserved a 3/10 or lower.

City will be able to add to their squad again on January 1, 2027, when the mid-season window opens. Read the full story here.
