"We will survive. In the end we spent money, we sold players.
"We bought five players who cost around £35m each. It’s not a big issue because we sold a lot.
"We’ve got money to invest again. I’m happy with the squad and we’ll move forward with that."
In the final hours of transfer deadline day, it was rumoured that any move for Evans would have to be funded by the departure of Eliaquim Mangala but that never came to fruition.
"If Mangala had gone I’m pretty sure we would’ve bought a new one," Guardiola added. "Because he stayed it made no sense to buy another. We cannot change 11 players. We changed some last season, five in that season and with four in one position.
"Maybe you believe that because we’re Manchester City we could do that [buy a new one]. We are going to survive in that position. To change a team, you don’t only need one transfer window. We need more time. Even with two windows it’s not possible. We have no regrets, no complaints. The club made a huge effort."Explore more on these topics:
