The story of the remarkable transformation of Manchester City since 2008 is told in a new Sky Sports Originals documentary by the three players whove been there since the beginning. Following the news that Pep Guardiola is set to start his new job at the Etihad Stadium on July 1, City Slickers takes a look at the remarkable journey the club has been on in the past eight years since the Abu Dhabi United Group took over.Vincent Kompany, Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta are the three longest serving players at the club and spoke in depth about their experiences. I was here first, then Vinny [Kompany] came charging through the door and about two weeks later Zaba [Zabaleta] came, says Hart, who was signed for £600,000 from Shrewsbury Town.I was told they were both central midfielders! Ive seen Zaba age, thats how long weve been together. Zabaleta, Kompany and Hart are the three longest serving players at the club Zabaleta turned down Juventus to come to City in 2008 for £6.5m: It was so strange to go into the dressing room and I couldnt speak a word of English.Kompany was recruited from Bundesliga side Hamburg for £6.7m and straight away he felt the club was going places.He said: Before I signed I got told something big is about to happen and straight away you saw that those guys mean business.Since 2008, owner Sheikh Mansour and his associates have overseen £1billion transformation of the club, building a state of the art football academy and a team full of star names. Pablo Zabaleta speaks to Geoff Shreeves Everyones got their own story, no-ones just turned up for Manchester City, getting paid bundles of money, being bought for bundles of money just by being them, says Hart.Weve all had to go our own different routes, our own little scraps and perform in the right situations. Aguero: I get big-game nerves Sergio Aguero admits he suffers from nerves in the build-up to big games With their financial strength, City found they could compete in the transfer market - but bringing in so many new faces had its difficulties.In my first game I was asking, literally, Michael Johnsons name in the warm up before the game. I just didnt know the names. In the beginning it was about getting the names in and then slowly you could start building a real team, says Kompany.Its been a whole lot of fun looking forward to going in the next day to meet a new super talent, adds Hart.When we do sign players, I think theyre signing players not just because theyre fantastic players. Were signing peoples personalities, people who want to win, people who want to play for their community, play for their club, and thats where were trying to go. Joe Hart in City Slickers In recent years, City have experienced success on the field, notably winning the Premier League in dramatic fashion in 2012 and again two years later. Off the field the club has grown as well, most recently with the completion of a state-of-the-art training facility with the words of owner Sheikh Mansour stencilled on the walls: We are building a structure for the future not just a team of all-stars.Kompany believes City are leading the way for other clubs: The impact weve had on the local community has probably been bigger than any other club in the world and thats something to be proud of. Barnes and Goater Q&A We quiz Liverpool and Man City legends John Barnes and Shaun Goater on the Capital One Cup final. I mean you cant get past the fact that people are going to have opinions about amounts being spent but the reality is that a lot of money has been spent wisely as well.Ill be disappointed if at the end of my career Ive only got two titles to my name. In my head I just want to win everything. Thats what Ive set out to do in football.This journeys been incredible with City but it just has to carry on.

But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Many players pass through the minor leagues during an injury comeback with a reluctant sense of duty and obligation. Jose Reyes does not fit that profile. Reyes went 1-for-4 and scored the game-winning run for the Buffalo Bisons in the first triple-A game of his rehab assignment on Friday night. He also cleanly handled three fielding chances as the Bisons won 3-2 against the Durham Bulls. Reyes is continuing to work towards joining the Toronto Blue Jays after spraining his left ankle on April 12. The four-time all-star and 2011 National League batting champion had five hits in 12 at-bats for single-A Dunedin earlier this week, and made his Buffalo debut with obvious enthusiasm. Reyes participated in team meetings to review signs, sprinted to his position to begin the game and pumped his fists and broadly smiled after scoring in the fifth inning. After turning a game-ending double play, he crouched down and waited for his teammates to join in a raucous celebration. "This is what I love to do," Reyes said. "I wasnt able to do this for a long time, almost two months. Now Im able to do what I do best." Reyes is expected to play with Buffalo through Sunday before being re-evaluated for a potential return to the Blue Jays on Monday at Tampa Bay. "I was able to do a little bit of everything," Reyes said. "Im happy that I was able to help the boys out. And the ankle felt good." Reyes was in his customary leadoff position in the batting order and played all nine innings in the ffield for the first time this week.dddddddddddd. He fielded a ground ball in the second inning, caught a pop fly in the sixth and turned a game-ending double play in the ninth. On the game-ending play, pitcher Brad Lincoln fielded a comebacker and threw to Reyes, who pivoted, jumped and delivered a sharp throw to first. It was vintage Reyes. "That was good there," Reyes said. "I needed to test my ankle in every way possible. When I go to the big leagues, I dont want to have any surprises there." In his first at-bat, he grounded out to second base on the second pitch he saw. In the third inning, he forced Durham starter J.D. Martin into a 12-pitch at-bat, including six foul balls with two strikes, before popping out to shortstop. In the fifth, Reyes lashed a sharp double to the right field wall and scored on a two-run double by Kevin Pillar, who was making his triple-A debut. Reyes run gave Buffalo a 3-2 lead. Prior to that hit, however, Pillar narrowly missed on what was ruled a foul ball. Reyes had already come around from second and had to retreat, only to run hard on the next pitch. "(On the first) double, I didnt even know I ran that fast," Reyes said. "When I saw the replay, I thought I ran pretty good. It was good to see." Reyes expects to play shortstop again Saturday, which would give him back-to-back games in the field for the first time during his rehab stint. Reyes has missed Torontos last 62 games with the injury, during which time the Blue Jays are 28-34. ' ' '
