Manchester City supporters have been making all the noise in the Transfer Tavern so far this season after seeing their side make a wonderful start to the campaign, which got even better on Tuesday as the Citizens edged past Feyenoord 1-0 to seal top spot in Group F of the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s men were tipped by many to go on and win the Premier League title this season, and they have certainly made their intentions clear by winning 11 of their opening 12 league games, with Everton the only side to have taken a point off the North West outfit. And the Citizens have backed up their fine league form with an equally impressive European campaign thus far, with Raheem Sterling’s late goal enough to secure a fifth win out of five against Feyenoord on Tuesday night, thus securing top spot in Group F.

Consequently, there have been many delighted City fans in the Tavern in recent times, with many already eagerly anticipating their team’s return to Premier League action on Sunday when they travel to David Wagner’s Huddersfield Town.

In the meantime though, there has been plenty for our resident Citizens supporters to get their teeth into, not least recent reports which have linked midfielder Kevin De Bruyne with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The Belgium international has been in sensational form for City so far this term with four goals and nine assists in 18 matches in all competitions, three goals and six assists of which have come in the Premier League.

And his excellent form has reportedly attracted the interest of European champions Real, and were De Bruyne to indeed make the move to the Spanish capital in January, here are TWO other City stars who could follow him out of the Etihad Stadium…

Eliaquim Mangala

The centre-back department is one area in Guardiola’s squad that isn’t quite a deep as it could and perhaps should be, with John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi, and Vincent Kompany ultimately vying for two places.

And that’s because Eliaquim Mangala is simply not good and reliable enough to command first team football at the Etihad Stadium.

The 26-year-old made the move to City back in 2014 but has struggled to convince of his capabilities, earning just 69 appearances for the North West outfit, and eventually being shipped out on loan to Valencia for the entirety of last season to underline his lowly position in the pecking order.

And although Stones looks set for a spell on the sidelines, Tuesday’s below-par display against Feyenoord may convince Guardiola of a better option than Mangala at centre-back, which could ultimately see the Frenchman leave the club in January.

Yaya Toure

Yaya Toure earned a new one-year deal at Man City during the summer such was his influence in the team last season, but the same cannot be said of this campaign.

The former Ivory Coast international has managed just five appearances for the Citizens so far and hasn’t directly made a contribution in any of them, with the 34-year-old unsurprisingly finding it tricky disposing De Bruyne, David Silva, and Fernandinho from Guardiola’s starting eleven.

And with his contract up at the end of the season, Toure could finally end his hugely successful seven-year spell at the Etihad Stadium in January as he seeks to pursue with the final few years of his career.
