Manchester City are having a sub-par season by their ridiculously high standards. Pep Guardiola has successfully conquered England but this year, he’s lagging behind Liverpool in the standings and could see the title snatched away from him by Jurgen Klopp.

Still, maybe a good January transfer window could potentially turn the tides and the Citizens would be wise to part ways with some of the unwanted personnel at the Etihad.
Here are two such players Guardiola should sell…
Nicolas Otamendi
It is true that Man City have struggled with all sorts of issues in their backline in the past but Otamendi is one of the players that simply don’t look the part at all.
Even though he’s managed to tally 1459 minutes in the ongoing campaign up until matchday 17 due to various different circumstances, the 31-year-old Argentine has often been subject to heavy criticism by various sources.

The fans don’t really seem to like him and he was even called a liability by ESPN pundit Frank Leboeuf who claimed his performance vs Wolves “killed his team”.
By all means, he’s one of the players Guardiola could do without and should be replaced sooner rather than later.
Claudio Bravo
Even though Bravo is still Man City’s second-choice goalkeeper, it very much feels like time is slowly but surely catching up with the illustrious goalie.
Of course, the now 36-year-old Chilean has had an incredible career so far, finding success both with Barcelona and the Citizens, but various times when he simply fluffed his lines are an indication that he too should move on.
And while it may sound harsh to axe a man well beyond his 30s and moving towards the end of his contract which is due to run out in the summer of 2020, it’s still a decision that simply has to be made.
