Manchester City need a revolution, not an evolution, under Pep Guardiola this summer – how many times have you heard that since January?

The latest critic to declare that the incoming boss needs to rip it up and start again, with TEN new signings, is excitable Sun columnist Ian Wright.

The former Arsenal man reckons, with some justification, that this season only Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Joe Hart and “possibly Fernandinho” have been up to the job.

We at MEN Sport would firm Fernandinho up to a “definitely” rather than a “possibly” and throw in Bacary Sagna and even – due to his excellence in the last two months – much-criticised midfielder Fernando.

And we would also argue that making ten quality signings in one transfer window is not feasible, even though City have money to play with following the £265million sale of a chunk of the City Football Group to a Chinese company.

The whispers coming out of City are that there will be four or five quality incoming players this summer and as many as six or seven leaving – with young players making up the shortfall.

Given that, it seems Pep will effect his overhaul of the Blues over the next two summer transfer windows – and here's how we think he can manage the first phase:

GOALKEEPER

There has been much speculation over Joe Hart, but as well as being one of the top five keepers in the world, Hart is also English and a big voice in the dressing room.

Willy Caballero is likely to go, and academy products Ian Lawlor – who did well during a loan spell at Bury - and/or Angus Gunn promoted as back-up.

DEFENCE

Martin Demichelis is going, Vincent Kompany's injury problems make him unreliable and doubts remain over Eliaquim Mangala.

This is a key area for reinforcement and the Blues have been pursuing Athletic Bilbao's Aymeric Laporte and are still interested in John Stones despite his ordinary season. They are also expected to bring back Jason Denayer after his season's loan at Galatasaray.

Bacary Sagna is good for another year, at least, and it is to be hoped Pablo Zabaleta's problems can be solved by a good pre-season.

If not, City have been watching Sassuolo's Croatian right-back Sime Vrsaljko, while Pablo Maffeo could be an option when he returns from his Girona loan.

Aleks Kolarov's future is also in serious doubt, but with Gael Clichy also OK for at least one more season, City hope Angelino and Ashley Smith-Brown can step up, while tracking PSV's Jetro Willems just in case.

MIDFIELD

It seems like Yaya Toure's time is up and ideally Paul Pogba would be the man to replace – but that still appears implausible and injury to Ilkay Gundogan causes a problem.

Still, Fernandinho and Fernando have finished this season strongly, and with Manu Garcia and Aleix Garcia expected to be involved more closely by Pep, and other possible targets being Sergio Busquets and Dinamo Zagreb's Ante Coric, the Blues should have enough.

STRIKERS

Wilfried Bony is the obvious casualty, a player who simply does not fit the mobile, fluid City system. But with Kelechi Iheanacho making big strides, Sergio Aguero still the king and youngsters like Thierry Ambrose, David Faupala and Lukas Nmecha coming through, they may just make do.
