Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan says he may offload two or three players next month when the transfer window reopens.
He would then hope to use some of that cash to draft in replacements with a new goalkeeper the priority.
Keegan is looking for experienced cover for former England number one David Seaman.
“We have to look at that position,” said the City boss, who has only rookie Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard as his other option.
“Obviously because of the size of the squad here, two or three players could go in the transfer window if people come in with the right offers.
“We would still have the squad here to do very well as we have a lot of experience.
“We’ve got a lot of good players. We have just got to find a way of getting a bit more out of them as a team.
“I don’t think they have let me down. My job is to pick a team to win games and I’ve got that wrong recently.
“While the Premiership is a tough place you are only 90 minutes away from turning your season around.”
Leeds, struggling at the foot of the league only weeks ago, could move to within a point of City with victory on Monday.
Keegan would love the Yorkshire club to undergo a revival – but obviously not on Monday.
And he has nothing but praise for the way Eddie Gray has gone about the job at Elland Road since taking charge.
Keegan said: “I am one of those people who look at Leeds and think it’s a shame what has happened there.
“You want Leeds, who are a big, big club to come through the problems they’ve got – but not against ourselves.
“Eddie Gray knows the club. He seems to have been there for 100 years.
“I used to play against him and he was a terrific player. He’s always going to have the total respect of his players.
“He seems to have gone full circle. He’s got a lot of loan players, all good players, but he has brought into the team guys who understand the Premiership and who know what it takes to stay in it.
“They’ve taken seven points out of nine – if they had done that at the start of the season then we’d be talking about the Champions League.
“We are the opposite. We are finding points hard to come by and want to turn our season around.”
