Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany is delighted with the way the club has kept the squad together.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini has restored peace to the dressing room - prompting the likes of Kompany, Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Samir Nasri and Alex Kolarov to all sign new long-term contracts this summer.
Kompany told the Sunday Mirror: "I think the club has made a statement this summer, not just with the players we have brought in, but also with the new deals that have been made.
"I am not talking about myself when I say this, but we have signed a group of players who are absolutely world class. They are guys who have already won stuff for City and you can't buy that kind of experience.
"Am I happy to know that David Silva, Kolarov, Nasri, Dzeko and Aguero are going to be in my team? Of course. I would hate to play against these guys. I am sure the fans are delighted with what they have seen this summer.
"They have seen us strengthen the squad, but they have also seen that there is continuity here. There's a plan for the future."
