da dobrowin： With Pep Guardiola now installed as Manchester City manager he has already wasted no time in signing four new players and after the team only finished 4th in the Premier League there will certainly be an overhaul of the squad this summer. Let’s now see who can be for the Etihad Stadium exit over the next few weeks.
da bet7： Jesus Navas
With the addition of Nolito to the squad it looks as if the ex Sevilla player’s time could be up at Manchester City. After three seasons in the blue half of Manchester, Navas has made 99 league appearances and has only scored four times. That run is even more barren considering he hasn’t scored in the last two seasons.
He has never quite stepped up to be the kind of player who shone in La Liga and has tasted international success for Spain. As a player who suffers from homesickness perhaps a move back home could be exactly what the doctor orders to kickstart his career.
Pablo Zabaleta
There’s no question that he has been a fantastic servant to Manchester City but after eight years at the club is his time now up. Last season saw the least amount of game time for the Argentine and at 31, he hasn’t quite got that surging pace that saw him bombard down the right flank in the past.
He’s still a handy player to have, but with Bacary Sagna ahead of him in the right-back pecking order you have to wonder where Zabaleta will get game time this season. The fact that Sagna is 33 and was still used more than Zabaleta last season also speaks volumes.
Wilifried Bony
Manchester City played mostly one up top last season, this meant that the Ivorian Bony was demoted to third choice. He was never going to be chosen ahead of Sergio Aguero and the emergence of Kelechi Iheanacho only saw his game time further diminished.
That said when he was given opportunities he failed to make the most of them and has come nowhere near justifying the £25m fee that was paid to Swansea for his services. Very close to being marked a flop, that price tag does him no favours.
Samir Nasri
In what was an injury struck season last time around, Nasri only managed a total of seven league appearances after picking up two league winner’s medals you do have to wonder if Nasri will be sticking around to try and win a third.
Is he the kind of player that Pep Guardiola will want his squad let alone his starting XI? With those injuries that he picked up in the previous campaign will Nasri ever get back to what he considered his best form.
