Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, hasn't been shy in expressing his feelings about the big squad City has.
Over the summer, Guardiola said some players would be "unhappy" because of the depth of the squad.
Guardiola has called for more transfers, and his latest statement has further emphasized the need to offload players.
What did Guardiola say about the size of his squad?
Speaking after City's 4-0 win against Wolverhampton, Guardiola admitted the squad was too big.
He said, "Too much-too many people. I like a deep squad to compete in all competitions, but I don't want to leave players at home."

"It's not healthy. You cannot create a good vibe or atmosphere to compete. Everyone has to feel they can play and help.
"The club has known it since last season, it's not news, but the situation is what it is."
Guardiola has added a number of players this summer, including Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders, who both scored on their Premier League debuts.
The club has offloaded players on both permanent transfers and loan spells.
Guardiola added, "In the next two weeks, people will talk with players and agents to find a solution."
Two players linked with moves away are Ederson and Savinho, both of whom were left out of City's squad against Wolves.
Another player linked with a move away is Rico Lewis, who Nottingham Forest are aiming to lure away after already securing James McAtee's signature.
