Pep Guardiola's big transfer clear-out! Man City boss says bye to four players on deadline day

There has been an awful lot of business involving Manchester City on deadline day, but all the players are heading in one direction.

Joe Hart, Eliaquim Mangala, Samir Nasri and Wilfried Bony have all left the club on loan as Pep Guardiola uses every minute of the window available to shape the squad into one he can fully implement his philosophy on.

The former Barcelona boss cares little for the reputations and standing of players and is solely focussed on who can carry out his methods in the way he sees fit.
