Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan has indicated he is ready to sell Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne and Steve Howey.
Both players were dropped following poor performances in the recent 5-1 home defeat to Arsenal.
Keegan felt his side were more solid in their 1-0 defeat to Blackburn at the weekend but confirmed he would be investigating other options in defense.
"I am going to look at other options now in his [Howey's] position, in Richard Dunne's position and maybe one or two other positions. I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't do that," he said.
