Man City Transfers: 8 Players Pep Guardiola Will Bring To Etihad

9. Clear Out The Dead Wood

For a side who should be fighting at the top of the league until the last throws of the season, City have a lot of players in their squad who aren't fit to lace the boots of their best players. How Martin Demichelis remains on the books is a mystery, and there are serious questions over the likes of Fernando and Fernandinho and a serious lack of a second choice goalkeeper anyone could have confidence in if Joe Hart goes out injured. Neither Willy Caballero nor Richard Wright are exactly Champions class. And has Jesus Navas really shown enough to warrant his continued place? With spending power like City's, there should be no player not pulling their weight and adding something tangible to the cause. This is the perfect opportunity to clear that slate.
