Manchester City do not often conduct business in the January transfer window, but on the odd occasion they have in recent times, things have worked out well.
During Pep Guardiola's tenure only Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus have arrived at the club during the winter window, although the latter was signed the previous summer but stayed at Palmeiras until January. Julian Alvarez looks set to become the third.
However, there was a time when City often conducted January dealings, many of them bad.
