MANCHESTER, England -- After an offseason of heavy spending, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is to set about trimming his squad -- and one player whose future could be in doubt is goalkeeper Joe Hart.Guardiola was asked Friday how central Hart was to City and the England international was hardly given a ringing endorsement.Im so happy about his qualities, his behavior, what he means to this club, Guardiola said. After, we are going to decide inside the doors (of the club). Now, he is a player of us.City has been linked with a move for goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who plays for Guardiolas former club Barcelona and is more comfortable than Hart with the ball at his feet. Its a quality that Guardiola likes in a goalkeeper, so attacks can be built from the back.Hart has been with City since 2006, and is Englands undisputed No. 1. However, he had a disappointing campaign for England during the European Championship, blamed for two of the goals conceded -- including Icelands winner in the embarrassing last-16 exit to the smallest nation in the competition.Guardiola said he would be busy shuffling his squad until the last day of the transfer window, with one of the priorities getting the numbers down from the 28 or 29 he says he has at his disposal. Samir Nasri and Wilfried Bony could also be set to leave City, having been left off the squad for the upcoming Champions League playoff against Steaua Bucharest.We have to reduce our squad, Guardiola said.City has spent around $200 million this offseason in signing eight players -- the latest being center back John Stones from Everton for a fee of $62 million on Tuesday.Stones is another technically gifted player. And while doubts have been cast about his defensive qualities, Stones is the type of ball-player that Guardiola likes having at center back.With his ability to build up (play), with his intelligence to read the next step, the next pass, behind the line, I think he is a good, good, good player so we are happy to have him, Guardiola said.Stones may be handed his debut against Sunderland on Saturday, in Guardiolas first competitive game in charge of City.Of course, there is a lack of time, its true, Guardiola said. But he reads the game. The people who are intelligent, they read exactly what is going on, what they have to do. John Stones, that is why we took him. I think hes ready.City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak visited the club this week, and chatted to the new players during training. He will be at Etihad Stadium for the Sunderland game, which begins possibly the most exciting era in Citys history.City is the favorite to win the Premier League title, but Guardiola doesnt expect the team to be at its best immediately.To create something, we need time, to create something with ideas to attack we need time, he said. But to play with soul and something inside, we dont need time.Tomorrow we dont know if everyone is going to play good or if we will get the result, but I will not accept not playing with soul. We can do that from the first day. Willie Stargell Jersey Large . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday.

Pirates Jerseys China .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron knows it will be near-impossible for his AFL side to keep Marcus Bontempelli quiet for the entirety of Saturday nights preliminary final.Bontempelli, who earned All-Australian honours this year and continues to show experience beyond his years, looms as one of Western Bulldogs most potent threats at Spotless Stadium.The 20-year-old tallied 32 disposals and six clearances when the two sides met in round nine this year, with Stephen Coniglio matching up on him for most of the game.Well probably start (ruckman) Rory Lobb on him. Weve got to fight fire with fire in terms of height, Cameron joked on Friday.Hes just so unique. Hes a 193cm inside mid, theyre very hard to stop those sort of players.Hes Nat Fyfe-like and weve seen what Fyfe has been able to do.I dont think you completely stop a guy like Bontempelli, we just have to make sure we nullify him when we have to but also hurt him when its our turn and we have the footy.ddddddddddddameron indicated he was unlikely to employ a hard tag on Bontempelli.Theres no doubt (Ryan) Griffen, Coniglio and (Callan) Ward are going to have opportunities to try to stop him in the midfield, he said.But in saying that they do bat really deep. (Tom) Liberatore is at the peak of his powers.Cameron also heaped praise on Bulldogs Jack Macrae and Luke Dahlhaus, acknowledging the midfield showdown will be crucial in deciding which club advances to the grand final.Theyve got a really good midfield. We feel as those weve got a really good midfield as well, he said.The battle will be won in the midfield. If its going our way more than their way, were going to be more of a chance to win the game.
